Hello,
I have used Image Upload for BBPress to upload and attach image to forum.
my problem is image is not responsive. It will just shrink its width. I tried playing with firbug and remove image attributes and set max-width to 100%.
It works… Now my problem is which file to edit and how. Im not a coder. I just learned css and have little understanding on php…

bbPress tell me error with the WordPress version (4.6.1), when I install crashes the site and view the error page. Why does this happen?

[ipf]

I am in the process of creating a bbpress forum.

How can I remove the admin toolbar and deny dashboard access to members? Is there a setting that I am missing? If not, are there any plugins that you recommend?

Is it possible to integrate wordpress, bbpress and buddypress so that a user’s profile shows
1. wordpress posts
2. wordpress comments
3. Forum topics
4. Forum replies
5. Buddypress status updates.

How can I achieve this?
Thank you.

I am having trouble importing from SimplePress to bbpress. I’m not sure what the table prefix is supposed to be. I tried wp_ and that didn’t import anything. I tried wp_sf (I think that is the beginning of tables for SimplePress but get this error

Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]
CREATE TABLE wpzu_bbp_converter_translator ( meta_id mediumint(8) unsigned not null auto_increment, value_type varchar(25) null, value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default ‘0’, meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join (meta_key(191), meta_value(191)) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;

Is there anything I can do to get this import done?

Hi guys,
I followed the above advice, however, when I go to the import function in wordpress there is no SMF option, am I looking in the wrong place? I can see other options, blogger, twitter wordpress CSV etc, but no SMF.
Please help

ok you will need my plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

once installed and activated then go to

dashboard>settings>bbp private groups

and you’ll find a bunch of tabs

At a simple level, you would set up one group (say group 1) in ‘group name settings’ tab for users, and another group (say group 2) for admins and join all users to the users group 1 using the ‘user management’ tab, and all admins to group 2.

Then go to ‘Topic permissions’ tab and activate

Then go to each forum in turn, join it to both groups, and then set the appropriate permissions. Group 1 would just have reply permission and groups 2 full permissions.

Hi,

I want to use bbPress for a forum on a site running WordPress 4.7 with the 2016 theme. I have a problem with the space that is (not) used by the forums: there is unused white space to the left of anything created by bbPress.

It can be seen here: Forums
If you compare this to e.g. this page, you can see the unused space.

This happens wether I use the sidebar or not. I don’t know what causes this, but maybe anyone can help?

[Robin W]

ok,

to separate into categories use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum template and select the alternate template

Then go to

Dashboard>settings>forums>forum root

and note what that is called – usually ‘forums’

then create a page called whatever the forum root says eg ‘forums’ and into the content of this put

[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-index]

That should all work, but come back if you have queries

[Robin W]

ah – ok, suggest you post on their support site

Hello,

I’m moving to a new WordPress installation.

However, unfortunately I cannot just export my database. I’m on a host that has a very customized WordPress (I’m with Rainmaker, in case you’ve heard of them). I’m moving to a self-hosted WordPress where I have complete access to the database.

I cannot install any plugins on the old host.

I tried exporting the forums, topics, and replies. But, they are left without being associated to one another.

I’m not sure if it’ll change anything if I export it all at once. There’s a lot of other content, so I wanted to try to do it on its own.

What’s the best way to export my bbpress data so I can import it to my new WordPress installation?

Thanks for your help.

ditto registration

google

wordpress rest api register new user

gets you several answers

[Robin W]

No idea what a rest API is , but bbpress uses wordpress’s register and login processes, so you can simply use those

I googled

wordpress rest api login

and got

http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/

but there’s a whole site there

[Wilbur]

I am developing an android app for my wordpress forum. Please is there any way I can create new users and login old ones programmatically? Maybe a rest API or something.

Please you can show the code in php or any language of your choice.

Update WordPress to 4.7 and bbpress to latest 2.5.12.
Also share your screenshot for others to figure out what is going on.

[adarshmadrecha]

I want to change the layout of the topic when viewing topics on Mobile (i.e. small screens)
Currently is is like shown below

How do I make author appear on top of the post.

PS : I have enabled multithread reply

BBpress: 2.5.12
Wordpress: 4.7
Theme: Avada 5.0.4

[Robin W]

I am just a moderator here so have no influence over what is and isn’t included.

If you want login and registration on the menu, then add this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

[adarshmadrecha]

Is the bug still present? I am using 2.5.12, released on December 9, 2016.
And still facing the same problem.

Theme: Avada 5.0.4
Wordpress: 4.7
BBpress: 2.5.7

[ldesherl]

I like your plugin, but I still have issues.

1). I can’t make my forum introduction sticky.

2). There are few editing options on forums. And users can’t edit from the front-end.

3). My forum has a sidebar within a sidebar. I could not change it, no matter what I tried.

My forum URL: https://alllivesaresacred.com/forum/#.WF8MqRsrK00

I’m using WordPress 4.7 and bbPress 2.5.12

Thank you!

The standaard BBpress searchfunction is very bad,slow, had no options to filter and it looks there is no development on this.

A good searchfunction is so very important for a succesfull forumscript.

After long searching and testing serveral search-plugin i’ve found a good working plugin.
Fast, configurable and ajax.

See the search-plugin in my live website http://www.opel-forum.nl
I use the free version. The pro version has more options.

This is the link to the plugin.

https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-search-lite/

[adarshmadrecha]

I found this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/basic-user-avatars/
But, it has not been updated since 2 years.

[Robin W]

there is no shortcode for logout – users normally just leave the site

you can add login/logout to the menu.

This plugin will help you do that

Hello:

I tried to set up a forum on my site. Where do I add new forums? I created a Forum page but I see no options to add forums to any pages. They go to my landing page only. Instructions for setting up a forum aren’t clear enough to me.

Hi, I’m having an issue with how bbpress displays on my website. Im using the divi theme with the latest bbpress plugin and wordpress version.

The border is misaligned on the left and bottom (see link below). I have tried css to fix it but with no luck. I think its to do with the padding. Anyone know how to fix this?
