In reply to: bbPress 2.1 – Theme Compatibility
I’m having trouble with the new “group forums” feature in bbPress 2.1. Can someone looks into this:
In reply to: Better WYSIWYG text editor?acousticwebdesign, the “Fancy Editor” (which is using wordpress default editor) is only available in bbPress 2.1, which is still under development.
You might want to take a look
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.1
For bbPress 2.02 user, I recommend you to use Rich Text Editor For Comments which is using jWYSIWYG, although it’s may be a bit hard for beginners to configure it as it lack a setting page.
You can style the editor if you hate the default styling, provided that you know some CSS stuff.
Do you remember to change the forum slug in Setting > Forums in your dashboard? By default, both of them are using the page slug “forums” so there’re conflict between Group Forum & Sitewide Forum.
Read here for more info:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
For installing group & sitewide forums:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/3/
You can change the forums slug in your bbPress setting. Just navigate to Setting > Forums in your dashboard and change the default value in “Archive Slugs” & “Single Slugs”
It’s recommended that you keep the “Single Slugs” enabled, since it’s what differentiate between a topic, tag, reply & user. Just change it to something different.
Anyone?
In reply to: the Avatar Picture is not showing properlyLooks like you accidentally add unnecessary line in your style.css
Find the following lines:
.reply {
float:right;
margin-left:18px;
}Remove the “float:right;” from it, leaving:
.reply {
margin-left:18px;
}This should solve the problem.
In reply to: New Post IndicatorWhere do you want the indicator to show up?
In reply to: Increasing Avatar Size on Forum IndexYou need to change it in your CSS file or create a custom CSS. You can try to find the required line by using Firebug
What’s your website’s URL?
In reply to: BBpress will continue?This questions sound a bit silly, but is it helpful if someone tag a spam topic as “spam”, “spams”, “spamming”, or “spammer”? (I always do this when I see a spam topic)
In reply to: Migrating bbpress forums to Buddy press?Actually you can edit the other role (beside admins & moderators) so that they can read, post & reply in private forums. Just add read_private_topics, read_private_replies & read_private_forum to the role you desired
In reply to: Odd formatting on post repliesThere’s seem to be some unnecessary line in
f5666014.527a5f.css located in “.reply a, .reply a:visited {” and “.reply a:hover {“
Try to remove these lines in your f5666014.527a5f.css:
.reply a, .reply a:visited {
display: inline-block;
background: white;
color: #333;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 4px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 2px 10px 2px 10px;
border: 1px solid #DDD;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-khtml-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
}And this:
.reply a:hover {
background: #09C;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid #09C;
}What are your hosts using as web hosting control panels? cPanel, vDeck or something else?
Take me as an example (I’m using vDeck 4), in your control panel, navigate to “File Manager” (or similar name). If your install your website in root directory, then navigate to /wp-content/plugins/ and upload your bbPress zip file there. For sub-directory, navigate to /”sub-directory”/wp-content/plugins/ and upload it there. Uncompress the zip file.
In your wordpress dashboard, go to Plugin section. You should see the bbPress in your plugin list. Activate it and you’re done.
Actually there’s an easier way to do this. Navigate to Plugin > Add New. Search for bbPress and click “install now” and activate it.

In reply to: Move the IP and username over the avatar.Sorry, can you tell the URL where bbPress is loacted? (I can’t find it in your website and I’m not good with the language)
Anyway, you can try inspect the element of your website by using firebug and try yo change it yourself
Download firebug:
In reply to: Forum attacked by spammersDo you all know that spammer like to target website with these words (or similar)?
“Proudly powered by WordPress”
“Proudly powered by WordPress and BuddyPress”
“Proudly powered by bbPress.”
Just try this in google search: “inurl:/register/ Account Details Proudly powered by WordPress and BuddyPress” and see it for yourself. There’s lot of it.
Yes we’re so “proud” of it until our site is flooded with spammers.
So you may want to remove those words from your footer, etc. You may also want to change the /register/ (in BuddyPress) to something like /gimmeanaccount/.
My site was once flooded by spammers especially from China with the @126.com before I make those changes and I’m pretty amazed with the result.

In reply to: Migrating bbpress forums to Buddy press?I don’t think so. The default bbPress works differently compared to BuddyPress Group Forums, (it’s not like bbPress to SimplePress or vice versa) so it would be troublesome to migrate it from one to another one, and I don’t see a reason to create a plugin for that.
You say “hidden forums” don’t work. Can you describe it?
And it’s unfair to say that the bbPress developers stopped updating their plugins. FYI they are currently developing bbPress 2.1 which is still under development and bbPress project is still alive.
You can see it for yourself:
In reply to: Deleting sidebarLooks like you ask in the inappropriate place. You should ask this in WordPress or BuddyPress Support Forums.
You’ll need to create a custom page template for those pages, but there’s no easy way to do this unless you have some knowledge about PHP.
For a quick start, you can refer:

In reply to: Author Box Code ShowingThis is one of your line your author box output:
<a rel="nofollow" 1"="" score:="" required="" title="View <span title=" href="http://www.wisewahm.com/members/admin/">Beginner Admin's profile" class="bbp-author-name">Admin</a>And the result is: Beginner Admin’s profile” class=”bbp-author-name”>Admin
Shouldn’t it be something like this:
<a rel="nofollow" 1"="" score:="" required="" title="View Beginner Admin's profile" href="http://www.wisewahm.com/members/admin/" class="bbp-author-name">Admin</a>The result will be: Admin
Are you using BuddyPress? Or you just install bbPress?
In reply to: Chaning size of text box in 2.0.2Make it larger? Do you mean you want to increase the minimum height of the text box?
Create a custom.css and increse these lines:
textarea#bbp_reply_content, textarea#bbp_topic_content {
min-height: 500px
}
You can set the “500” to any value you like.
Actually, you can tell your member to drag the bottom-right arrow of the text box to increase its height.
In reply to: User registrationIf you’re runing bbPress only then select “Forum Participant”. If you allow your user to post articles beside forums then choose between “Contributor” or “Author”.
In /bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-topic-template.php
Remove the following lines:
// Topic has no replies
} else {
$retstr = sprintf( __( ‘This topic has %1$s, contains %2$s.’, ‘bbpress’ ), $voice_count, $reply_count );
}
And these lines:
// Topic has replies
if ( $last_reply = bbp_get_topic_last_active_id( $topic_id ) ) {
$last_updated_by = bbp_get_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ => $last_reply, ‘size’ => $size ) );
$retstr = sprintf( __( ‘This topic has %1$s, contains %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s ago.’, ‘bbpress’ ), $voice_count, $reply_count, $last_updated_by, $time_since );
And also these lines:
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”bbp-template-notice info”><p class=”bbp-topic-description”>’,
You didn’t need to remove anything in bbpress.css, as the style it’s using is also used by the others.
This should do the job.
In reply to: Forum = Archives?The default bbPress installation should be showing “Forums” instead of “Archives”.
Can you check for the presence of this line in bbpress.php below the line “$forum = array(“
‘name’ => __( ‘Forums’, ‘bbpress’ ),
In reply to: User registrationAs long as you set the correct role for your members, there’s shouldn’t be a problem
In reply to: Beginner — How to add BBcode to my forum?Do you mean you want a wysiwyg editor in bbpress such as TinyMCE? (Which include bold, italic, etc)
bbPress 2.0 does not comes with a wysiwyg editor. bbPress 2.1 do have a TinyMCE editor, although it’s still under development.
You can try this plugin Rich Text Editor For Comments or Basic Comment Quicktags
