Hello,

I’d appreciate your help on this.

I’d love to integrate forums into my wordpress site, but how do I get rid of all the clutter in bbpress?

There is really cool community software out there like Flarum or the P2 theme that put the focus on the people discussing and on the topics, not on status infos.

That makes me wonder: How do I get bbpress to be more like them while maintaining the basic functionality of the forum software and the look and feel of my theme?

How do I eliminate:

– Notices from “This forum is empty.” and “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” That’s obvious when I open a new forum. I would post welcomes if that would solve the problem. But I have seen that this replaces the notices with even longer info that probably nobody wants to read.

– Further notices like “Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.” makes people probably think: When do I get to the posting form?

– “Maximum Length: 80” for the title – People will notice.

– Topic status: … closed. In an open discussion, who decides when a topic is closed?

These are just some examples.

I do not know how to edit functions.php. I have fields for Filters and Hooks in my theme options, but I would need clear instructions where to put what, or some CSS.

Is there any plugin with which I can deactivate this?

Thanks a lot for some hints.

I’ve been trying for weeks now to import a version of phpbb 3.1.5 to my bbPress 2.5.7 version on WordPress 4.2.2. I can’t seem to get past a particular set of errors. I do not know what this means. Is this a wordpress issue, a bbpress issue or a phpbb issue? I can’t seem to find any support topics in the forums that address this and the last couple of posts I’ve made haven’t gotten any replies. Do I need to open a repair ticket of some kind to have it looked into? Someone please help. I’d rather not continue using phpbb, but if I can’t get this resolved soon, I’m going to have to abandon bbPress altogether.

Hi,

I was trying to customise my theme and the next thing I know is I can’t access my website anymore. White screen.

First, i went to my files in cpanel and deleted the bbpress plugin. Not fixed.

Then I set the WP_DEBUG to true in wp-config.php file and this is the message i got:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function listify_theme_mod() in /home2/saba2359/public_html/wodchaser.com/wp-content/plugins/code-snippets/includes/snippet-ops.php(446) : eval()’d code on line 5

Please somebody help me.

I have been searching and reading forums about this for 12 hours and I still have no idea at all what to do about it.

Note: WordPress and bbpress is latest version (newly installed and updated)

Greetings!

Do I have any options to alter what happens when users “subscribe” to a topic or forum? Specifically, I would like a way to display something like “There is a new topic on our forum”, but not the actual text of the new topic or reply.

I work for a church that occasionally needs to delete/moderate inflammatory or inappropriate topics and replies from our members. We don’t want the content of these topics and replies to go to anyone’s inbox, if possible, but we want members to have a “subscribe” option and be alerted of new posts.

I’m using the most current BBPress and WordPress editions on an Envato theme called “Risen” (we are not married to the theme, and it can change if it is the problem). Our forums are all private and access is controlled with user groups in a plug-in called UAM.

Hi All,

My site is http://www.buyineastvale.com

I am using the latest version of WordPress.

I downloaded the bbPress plugin to use for my site’s forum.

Now I want to add a page of Forum FAQ’s as a sub-page underneath the “Forum” parent page.

However, when I create a new page on my site’s back end and then designate the “Forum” page as its parent page and upload it, that page on my site then gives me a message on the front end when clicking on it that says “Sorry, no such page. It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.”

For the sake of this example, I created a page called “My Name Is” and assigned its location as a sub-page (with “Forum” being its parent page on the back end). And when clicking on the “My Name Is” page on the front end, I get the same “Sorry, no such page” message.

This leads me to believe it is an issue with bbPress (and not my theme, which is Weaver Xtreme).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you SO MUCH in advance!

Is there anyway to add image to the BBpress toolbar besides the “img” quicktag? Im afraid my members on my forum will not know how this works or there image wont have a link. Right now i have the GD bbPress Attachments plugin which can make a user add an attachment but the problem is when someone adds an attachment it gets added to my wordpress media which I do not want. Is there anyway to add an image to the visual side of the BBpress toobar?

[Robin W]

you can put a button on the forums pages using

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

go to settings>bbp-style-pack>forum display and no. 5

Is there a way to redirect bbpress user profile to wordpress author page? Can anyone tell me some hooks that can be possibly put in the function.php?

Your help is highly appreciated.

I am still not able to understand it. First I dont know how to create a child theme and second I dont know how to do what you are suggesting. I am also facing some issues with buddy press. The buttons are not displaying properly.
Can you suggest any other good community plugin?

There is no plugin to just fix it. bbPress is inheriting a template from your theme that is causing this issue. Since all themes are different creating a plugin to fix them all would be really difficult.

To create a child theme you can read this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

If you need help with anything , please tell me exactly what you need help with or at least tell me what you understand.

And what buttons are not displaying properly?? This is probably CSS so I could do this for you easily.

Also since you are using a paid theme (Canvas) , you might want to consider contacting your theme author for help.

I cant just do it for you for free, you can contact me through email if you want me to do it for you.

Thanks!

Users are experiencing issues logging into and posting to forums at contracostabee.com

Even as Admin I log in on the front page in the MY FORUM and select News Tip (a forum with nothing posted in it as yet)

I get the oh bother you must be logged in and oh bother nothing is here.

I do this several times. I am logged in but same error.

Then I go to the wp-admin and re login there in the wp-admin login window. And then it works. I thought registration and login was supposed to be seamless between bbpress, buddypress and wordpress user database. Why is this happening and confusing and frustrating user to no end?

Hi, Firstly thanks for making such a great plugin, which once I can get working, will really change the lives of so many people.

I have clean install on XAMMP of just the following;
WordPress 4.2.2
BuddyPress 2.3.2.1
BBPress 2.5.7

However when both BuddyPress and BBPress are activated i get the following error message across the top of most screens

“Strict Standards: Declaration of BBP_Forums_Group_Extension::display() should be compatible with BP_Group_Extension::display($group_id = NULL) in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\extend\buddypress\groups.php on line 28″

If I deactivate either BBPress or BuddyPress it goes away…

I have no other plugins install as only just started trying to use them.

I have seen some old previous messages about this same issue with a patch, however they see to be talking about the very different file structure to what this BuddyPress has…

Thanks in advance

wordpress version: 4.2.2
bbPress version: 2.5.7
Normally after activation of bbpress, I would be directed to a new page and 3 items (forums, topics, replies) would show up. The new website site I am currently working on (with X theme installed), however, doesn’t happen to do so. What happens is that right after I active the bbpress, it stays on the plugin page and says the plugin is activated. But there are no items showing up on left menu bar and also in the setting I do not find bbpress. All other plugins work well except for bbpress…

Its the themes CSS causing an issue with the input box for the topic title.

This custom CSS should do it.

#bbpress-forums input#bbp_topic_title {
	float: none;
	padding: none;
}

#bbpress-forums .bbp-form p {
	float: none;
	margin: 0;
}

Tell your themes support this too.

The center should be a tinymce button either by default or by installing tinymce advanced.

Well, my issue isn’t really laying in the website itself with the way it looks or the coding. My issue is, a fight heated up between me and an administrator on my site. He demoted me from Keymaster, without my permission. We made up, but the best he could get me back to was Administrator, not Keymaster. Now, we have no keymaster on the site to access certain things needed. How can I make my account back up to Keymaster?

[Robkk]

It is just the quicktags api from WordPress. You see the same button when entering the html mode when creating a blog post.

See if this post helps, it says tinymce but there is also quicktags code in there.

Add TinyMCE and Quicktags visual editors to WordPress comments form

you can also use the basic comment quicktags plugin

Hello, I was wondering if I can have the same toolbar that is on my bbpress comments section in my blog comments section? So users can bold, link add images for my blog comments etc… Im not sure if this is a bbpress question or a wordpress question. Thanks
