Well the file you are suppose to copy and create a bbpress.php file from is index.php

And although putting the forum index shortcode in a page is “easier” in a sense , you will still come up with issues just like you are going through. This is why I have been editing the Codex for the last few days to hopefully fix these issues that users might come across.

As for that weird wp tweaks issue you have , I do not know how to fix that. if you are only using that plugin just for a bbPress specific sidebar there are better plugins than that one.

And it is not hard to manually create a bbPress specific sidebar too.

Thanks so much – although I am wondering if it is going to solve my problem (but please do!)

it might help a little, there is a bunch of post meta that you would have to remove for it to look correct.

You can also contact me later today through email, if you need help during the process.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-author-avatar .avatar-14 {
  width: 24px;
  height: 24px;
  padding: 0;
  border: none;
}

if that does not work try this

#bbpress-forums .bbp-author-avatar .avatar-14 {
  width: 24px !important;
  height: 24px !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
  border: none !important;
}

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

try this CSS code and hopefully this fixes your issue.

it looks too small at 14px so i bumped it up to 24px , you can change that back to 14 if you want.

#bbpress-forums img .avatar-14 {
  height: 24px;
  width: 24px;

@aaronos

I will edit the guide again to show how a generic template for bbPress should look later today.

did you use the What the File plugin and just get nothing??

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

did you read this??

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

This is mysterious then.

Maybe someone else will pick up this topic , I have no idea what could be causing it.

If no one picks this up , I will contact the devs and see if they know a related bug that i do not know about.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

If they get the keymaster role make sure you disable registration til you get this fixed.

can you please answer these questions so i can narrow down what the issue might be??

has this issue always been there when you first installed bbPress?
did you import any forums and this issues has started?
did you install any plugins that modify s the capabilities of users?
is your default WordPress role for registration a subscriber in settings>general?
have you had a large amount of spam lately?
have you had any security issues lately?

Right now i cant tell what what causing the issue?? It is either some capability plugin settings that are messed up , or that you have been hacked??

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

How do your users register through your site?? Do they use the normal WordPress login forms, or do you use the bbPress shortcodes , or something different??

Also do you have multi-site??

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

however I also want to force them to submit their E-mail address. Preferable I would want to restrict the e-mail addresses to a single extension such as: example@company.com

That sounds like custom development , you may need to hire a developer to do that for you.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

well okay did you just change a users bbPress role from something to another but in your database it keeps the original role>>

do you have any steps for me to recreate the issue??

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

Thats custom code to this site.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

if your using BuddyPress you can overwrite friends for followers

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

Hi, im having this weird issue where the members of my site copy an image on their desktop and paste it on the bbpress text box.

This is not an issue with bbPress , it is expected for it not to work since the url of the image is from the users computer.

Just give your users a place to insert images from the users computer correctly.

There are two plugins which you can use.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

and this if you have BuddyPress installed and do not mind the visual editor being activated in bbPress. this plugin also allows inline image uploading.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

glad you solved your own issue.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

@van24

yeah accidentally added an additional b , should have saw that earlier.

you can try again it should work now.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

@hunniemaid

you place the code in your child themes functions.php or you can use a plugin like this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/

with that plugin you go to plugins> edit functions then place the code i gave you.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

i could do it for you , it is pretty easy.

email me.

Contact

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

@van24

yeah i tested it and it seems to work good.

and yes the PHP code snippets you can add to a child themes functions.php file.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

use threaded replies

settings > forum then enable thread replies

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

WAIT: I think I found it here:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/members/admin/forums/subscriptions/

There you go!

Also, if you’re good w/ design/style, etc — can you tell me why my right sidebar gets pushed down to the bottom of the page on certain forum pages?

i tired it last night but i couldn’t find what was causing the problem easily through CSS, i would have to dig in your code more.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

Thanks @robkk, my bigger interest is having the reply-to author populate in the text box. That would be awesome so the notifications can be triggered. I am leery about posting jobs on there, I get a ton of spam when I have done so in the past.

Yeah it would be awesome , all i can do is reccommend extending the feature of @mentions when bbPress adds its own.

As for the spam maybe i shouldn’t reccommend that site anymore?? But you know what i meant though you can go to any freelance website you can find that has users experienced with WordPRess and bbPress.

thanks for sharing Chad

@juggledad

@robkk: Just to clarify something, the OR function_exists(‘is_bbpress’) was added (with some other code, to get around a bug that bbpress doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge or fix. see https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2723

Thanks for pointing that out, i did not know about that bug.

Okay with this bug in bbPress you cannot use the WP conditional is_single() to affect all of the bbPress pages, since for some reason there is a bug for single user pages.Thanks for creating the trac ticket, I tested out and see that yes it does not work on user pages. Over the next few days/week i will check it out and see I can come up with a fix.

But this bug is easily avoidable by creating a bbpress.php for your theme and just using the_content() instead of bfa_post_bodycopy() and removing OR function_exists('is_bbpress') from the bfa_post_bodycopy() function. The bbpress.php file also helps remove other post meta that might not be useful for bbPress forums instead of using CSS to hide them.

The OR function_exists('is_bbpress') you can keep in bfa_get_options.php though as i do not see any problems with that.

If there is something you can find on your end to fix the issue with your theme and bbPress then please drop an answer on this topic, because i haven’t looked and learned your theme 100% yet. Removing the function exists and creating a bbpress.php is the quickest solution to the problem that I could find.

@kitfreeman

This excerpt issue that you are seeing affects all of these areas

category pages
tag pages
author pages
archive pages
search result pages
and the home page

which is where all the excerpt theme settings modify.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]
