try

function rew_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'rew_enable_visual_editor' );

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Hello,

bbPress 2.6.9
WordPress 6.3.1

Screenshot of issue: https://imgur.com/a/DhxatVA

The text box is wider than the mobile screen and it doesn’t look quite right.

Very best,

Ally.

As an Update, I have found some really old information about this issue @netweb here:https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2198

And here: Editor width addressed in CSS at patch https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933 down to 240 resolution. In some smartphones, only the text editor shows up by default.

My Redmi 9C uses a 20:9 aspect ratio screen (resolution is 720×1600).

I have asked this same question myself over the last few weeks as I am busy making my BBPress forum compatible and converted to a fully funcioning mobile app.

I decided to push ahead because the support forum of wordpress itself is running on the BBpress plugin and there seems to be no signs at all of it being switched to something else (as @robin-w says)

Whilst there are hundreds of plugins that are no longer maintained, the BBpress essential plugins very much are, and support for them is absolutely excellent. ( @amauric and @codejp3 ) 🙂

I believe that the future of niche forum websites like mine are in the mobile app direction with push notifications etc to users through their smart phones. WP and BBpress is lightweight enough to work fantastic on a mobile.

The three authors I mentioned earlier are great examples of why BBpress will carry on for the foreseable future no? Thanks guys for your continued help and support!

[Robin W]

thanks.

1. This is the bbpress support site, you need to raise this with the buddypress support site

https://buddypress.org/support/

2. bbpress (and buddypress) simply use the wordpress login, so the simplest way is to use a plugin to do redirect such as

LoginWP (Formerly Peter's Login Redirect)

Hello

When I post a link to a You tube video in a forum post there is no embedding. Instead there is a link to the video over at Youtube.

In forum settings I have the box ticked to embed.

An example is here: https://iberianatureforum.com/forums/topic/promo-video-for-25th-anniversary-of-cabaneros-national-park/

Thanks in advance for any help

(I am using latest versions of BBPress and WordPress)

hmmm… Not entirely sure this will work, but try

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support

let me know if this helps or not

Hello,

bbPress 2.6.9
WordPress 6.3.1

I can disable the mobile header on my forum https://metpsy.com/forums/forum/metpsy-forum/ main page using Astra theme settings on the forum backend page, but topic pages (e.g. https://metpsy.com/forums/topic/welcome/) I’ve got no idea how to do. Is there a bbPress workaround?

Very best,

Ally.

sorry, there are thousands of themes which may or may not work

I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.

The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.

My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.

bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.

I currently have my test site running WordPress 6.3 and php 8.1 with no issues.

The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.

However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this

bbp style pack

as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.

All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and bbpress is no different.

The main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.

But with open software you make your choices….

[michaelrich]

That is a very good question.

I asked myself the same a few months ago, because I am starting a new forum on my website with it at the moment. I hope it is fine, but I would love to hear what a developer would say about that?

I mean it still seems to be the offical solution and works with the newest wordpress and PHP version.

But alone that you haven’t got an answer for weeks makes me a bit nervous…
My website now is really dependent on it…

I used it because it meets my requirements by far the best.
But it had kind of a bad taste because of that.
A new WordPress, PHP version or security vulnerability could break it and on my host I am forced to update PHP regularly.

Normally I am not installing any plugin which haven’t got an update in the last year because normally this is a pretty red flag.

[Robin W]

these additional plugins will help

1. not 5 stars, but allows voting

bbPress Voting

2.

stats in WordPress are notoriously unreliable, I don’t know of a plugin that does this.

3.

Inline Image Upload for BBPress

[ibnat]

Hi, I am trying to remove an image upload button that was placed on the TinyMCE reply editor by an image upload plugin. When I uninstalled the plugin the image on the editor has remained and is linkable to a broken page (obviously as the plugin has been removed). The topic on the plugins author page is here but we can’t seem to find a solution. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removed-plugin-but-image-add-icon-still-visible/

“This plugin enables the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor for BBPress forum topics and replies and adds a button to the editor’s “Insert/edit image” dialog that allows forum users to upload images from their computer and insert them inline into their posts.”

Can anyone point me to a way to remove this image upload button or is there a way to edit the layout and options of the editor with a different plugin?

Thanks in advance

Using globally-scoped CSS to style elements and override classes in WordPress, like the garden-variety style.css. It has nothing to do with bbstyle.

Ex.

#bbpress-forums {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
.bbpress-wrapper {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
.bbp-breadcrumb, .bbp-breadcrumb-home {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}
.bbp-topic-permalink {
font-size: 15px !important;
font-weight: 500 !important;
}
.bbp-header, .bbp-reply-author {
background-color: #F8AA3C !important;
font-size: 16px !important;
font-family: Roboto !important;
}

Hello, first of all sorry for my English.
I have a wordpress site under construction with bbpress, budypress and gamipress linked.
I have several questions, so I put them in different topics. Here is this query:
I have an achievement system set up on the website for completing actions, tasks, etc.
Could the achievements achieved by users be seen in the forum, for example under the avatar?
Greetings and thanks for the help.

Hello, first of all sorry for my English.
I have a wordpress site under construction with bbpress, budypress and gamipress linked.
I have several questions, so I put them in different topics. Here is this query:
Would it be possible that when someone writes in the forum, the total number of messages they have written in the forum appears? In other forums I have seen it under the user’s avatar.
It would be something like what I attached in the link.

At the time of writing a topic or answer, could the writing bar where the bold, italics, etc. appear, be changed?
I would like it to be like that of many forums where by simply clicking on the chosen button, the action is executed and the labels of said action do not appear.
It would be something like what I attached in the link.

No, it’s a WP 6.3.1 site I built specifically to test BBPress. It’s mostly just Elementor and Astra (Pros), the Classic Editor, Simple Custom CSS and JS PRO and BBPress. It’s behavior I haven’t seen with CSS overrides in WordPress before.

As you can see, the class specifies Roboto for the breadcrumb but it’s showing a serif font, even in the sample rollover in Inspector’s Styles window. The class works fine from the parent page but not in /forums/topic/

[Robin W]

bbp style pack

will let you style bbpress, and has integration for the Astra theme

[Steve Manes]

I’m confused. Does BBPress get its CSS and template support from the active WordPress theme or are there optional plug-in themes one can install that only apply to styling your BBPress implementation?

I’ve been asked to add forums to an existing Elementor-built site running the Astra Pro theme which apparently has no support for BBPress. Because the web site is already built, approved by the bosses and currently live I can’t change the WordPress theme. But the default styling in BBPress doesn’t work for them either (we have an approved font family, size, color, etc too).

I’m fairly adept with CSS and WordPress but I’d rather use a design by someone who actually knows the software. That, and I’m a bit graphically challenged.

I noticed that there’s a dropdown for “Forum Theme Packages” in Forum settings and was hoping that such BBPress-specific child theme plug-ins exist which allow WordPress to use another parent theme. Do such plug-ins exist and is there a repository of them somewhere on the net?

[Robin W]

untested, but this should work

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topics_per_page', 'rew_amend_topics', 10 , 2) ;

function rew_amend_topics ($retval, $default ) {
	$forum = bbp_get_forum_id() ;
	if ($forum == 123) $retval = 10 ;
	if ($forum == 456) $retval = 5 ;
return $retval ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

I use bbpress in Japanese.

In the bbpress search window, if you search for two or more words with double-byte spaces, no search results will appear.

I tried replacing half-width with full-width, and it worked in the wordpress search window, but not in the bbpress search window.

advice please.
thank you.

function empty_search( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search && ! $query->is_admin ) {
    $s = $query->get( 's' );
    $s = str_replace('　',' ', $s );
    $query->set( 's', $s );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'empty_search' );
