Hi jonahma,
Which theme are you using? This should be doable with CSS, otherwise you can remove it from the loop-single-reply.php file.
Otherwise check out the https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/ plugin, it will most likely have the functionality.
Hi fuse2701,
You need to change the padding-left value from 16px to 0.
The first padding value (0) is the padding-top one, the second one (0) is for padding-right, the third (23px) bottom and the last one (padding-left) should be changed from 16px to 0.
These are the current values:
#left-area ul, .entry-content ul, .comment-content ul, body.et-pb-preview #main-content .container ul {
padding: 0 0 23px 16px;
line-height: 26px;
list-style-type: disc;
}
If you are using a child theme, copy and paste the CSS lines below there. Otherwise, go to your WordPress Dashboard, Divi / Divi Theme Option / General tab / and paste these lines there on Custom CSS / Save Changes
#left-area ul, .entry-content ul, .comment-content ul, body.et-pb-preview #main-content .container ul {
padding: 0 0 23px 0;
}
If that doesn’t work, try adding a !important like this
padding: 0 0 23px 0 !important;
Hello,
I installed bbPress, maybe 5 months ago. I imported from phpBB.
After some trouble with this import, the installation was ok.
But now, with wordpress 4.7.2 (maybe before I’m not sure), I can see my forums but not replies and topics.
About topics, I can see when it’s “pin topics” but there is not reply inside.
Everything is ok in the admin panel of WP, all posts, topics and forums are here.
I tried to remove “WP-super cache” and use the tool “bbp-repair” but nothing change.
Could someone help me?
Best Regards
not really sure that bbpress is the best tool for this.
several wordpress solutions round – I googled ‘document sharing wordpress’ and got this which looks like it is a better fit
https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/sp-client-document-manager/
you can see what the free vs. premium does here
SP Client Document Manager for WordPress
Wordpress is 4.7.2 BBpress is the most updated version. site is http://teroromighty.com
On the main site you’ll see the bbpress login. I can log in with my account but the page will refresh and not show me the menu items that are listed to be private. (only logged in viewers)
i can log in by using the /login page and then it’ll allow you to view profile as if you’re logged in but it’s not showing the menu items profile and logout.
And account to test with is dragonchild pass Dragon13
I’m at a loss really. I’ve also got a plugin called
I am using WordPress 4.7.2 and bbpress Version 2.5.12. I have tried the code as mentioned in previous post. However, it doesn’t work. Could any generous guys can help me?
My main objective is to set spectator to have ability to post/edit a post. That’s it.
1. Is there any other easiest way to do it?
2. If no, any change besides the false/true value I suppose to amend?
3. Where should I put the code, only capabilites.php?
I wish someone can show me step by step solution. Thank you so much.
Thanks for your reply.
This might seem obvious for the creator of bbpress. But it really isn’t. I think you need to drop the word “partner” cause that is really confusing.
Method 1:
This doesn’t do anything other than adds a page that you can add to your navigation. You could instead basically add a custom link to your navigation because the page itself isn’t displayed since you have the same slug as you set for forum root index. The default bbpress index will be displayed. Having a wordpress-page is just confusing since nothing added to that page is displayed.
Method 2:
This method doesn’t mention the slug at all so I presume the slug here is different then the one set as forum root index. Fine. Name your page anything and add anything along with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]. There you have it. You think…
You think you have customized your forum index page. But in fact that page is just a non-bbpress page that happens to have bbpress content in it. How so?
1) Your breadcrumb forum index link will still display the default index page.
2) And if you use the bbp style pack to add login-logout-buttons to your navigation it won’t recognize your custom index page as a bbpress-page. (The buttons won’t display when option is set to only display on forum pages)
Maybe it’s just me, but If I create my own index page, of course I want that page to be the index page linked to in the breadcrumbs as well.
So. I’m struggling with the word “partner” here. In my mind it says a wordpress page can partner with bbpress and act as the forum index page. As a replacement not as an addition. It can’t be that you should have TWO different index pages, can it?
So, how do I create a custom forum index page that is recognized as a forum page and acts as the forum index page in the breadcrumbs?
Cheers!
ok, you are using the foodie theme which is based on genesis, so suspect that you need
bbPress Genesis Extend
no problem
that does make me more suspicious that it is a theme issue.
just as a test can you try switching to say twenty sixteen and see if that fixes
by the way you can style forums using my style pack plugin, which will make them much more pretty

Hi Dropshot,
As far as i remember the plugin has the ability to redirect non logged in users, but i can’t recall if this can be done from the forum index.
Otherwise i am sure i have seen a member plugin, doing what you want, i just can’t remember the name, but you could look it up at the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.
What does this mean??
I’ve set the forums root to “forums”. Then I’ve created a WP-page with slug “forums” and included some shortcodes.
The WP-page is ignored, so content displayed on /forums is the bbpress default index page.
What does this mean: “Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.”??
How do I replace the default index with a WP-page?
I just installed bbPress 2.5.12 on WordPress 4.7.2. I created a test forum with one topic. I haven’t changed any of the default settings. When I load the forum page, I get this:
Forums

It looks just like a bunch of text with no formatting. Here’s the link: http://livelovecards.com/forums/
I haven’t tried disabling plugins because I have a lot of them and my site is subscription, so I don’t want to disrupt service. I’m hoping this is an obvious problem to someone out there.
Thanks so much for your help!

This used to work, see no reason why it should not still be fully functional!
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/
Hi,
Is it possible to use WordPress shortcodes in bbPress posts? (I mean either native WordPress shortcodes such as [caption][/caption], [gallery ...], or shortcodes defined by third-party plugins).
To be more precise, I’m the author of a WordPress plugin that allows to insert chess diagrams and/or chess games in WordPress posts/pages (see https://wordpress.org/plugins/rpb-chessboard/). I would like to extend to have chess games/diagrams in bbPress posts.
Thank you beforehand.
Hi @fhasst1,
(Let me start by noting it could very well be that you already know this—but something in your post made me want to call it out just in case you weren’t aware.)
bbPress runs on top of WordPress. That’s important because it means if a user has logged into your (WordPress-driven) site/app then, by extension, they will have logged into the forum (insofar as bbPress will realize they are an authenticated user and will be able to identify them) … no need for a separate login.
Also, I think it’s worth calling out the fact that when it comes to adjusting the way bbPress behaves, or building some new forum feature, there is a really quite extensive set of functions, hooks and methods available to you that make it a really awesome platform to build on.

I am on WordPress 4.7.2 and bbPress 2.5.12 and suddenly this combination stopped working layoutwise. bbPress is just outputting content (text), but without any tables or any other formatting.
The glitch happens with all WordPress themes not just a particular theme.
I am using “bbPress Tweaks” to render the output in my theme. Deactivating bbPress Tweaks did not solve it.
Unfortunately we use this website for internal communications, so can’t just put a link here, you have to have an active user to login.
Therefore I uploaded some pictures of what is happening:
https://www.rainbow-international.de/screen.jpg
https://www.rainbow-international.de/screen2.jpg
I tried everything disabling plugins, downgrading WordPress, downgrading bbPress itself. But I can’t get the older versions of bbPress to run. Something in the code is crashing -> white page. So I am stuck with 2.5.12.
Thank you in advance!
login probably isn’t going to do it either.
Probably a setting in wordpress or your site
or ‘I changed all of the URLs directly in the database’ something mis-set here
Suggest you start by
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
to eliminate these as issues
Hello i m working with WordPress 4.6.1 with Bigbang theme
my bbPress version is 2.5.10
The problem is in the tool bar: I see simultaneously both the visual bar that the textual, and the keys of the text toolbar are visible only if I get over them with the mouse
Did the check, reset, tried again: Same issue.
When I uncheck “Convert users”, “Start Over” and “Purge Previous Import” within the import tool I get a different error message, maybe that’s a hint?
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘forums.parent_id’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(forums.forum_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_id,convert(forums.parent_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS parent_id,convert(forums.forum_topics_approved USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_topics_approved,convert(forums.forum_posts_approved USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_posts_approved,convert(forums.forum_name USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_name,convert(forums.forum_desc USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_desc,convert(forums.left_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS left_id,convert(forums.forum_type USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_type,convert(forums.forum_status USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_status FROM forum_forums AS forums LIMIT 0, 100
You can use WordPress’s REST API to interact with forums/topics/replies the way you can with any WordPress posts, but that may not be ideal (and some of the verbiage does not directly translate very well.)
That API has only been fully available since WordPress 4.7, so we are seriously starting the process of exploring what a dedicated bbPress API should look like. Some work has gone into this already, but there is more to do.
