download and place this file in a folder called bbpress in your child theme

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout

you can also download https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/ and use his file too.

Here’s a link to an old plugin that may help get you started. Would love to see what you come up with!

I am using the standard forum index template for the front page of my forum.

This template only shows the latest post day / time for each of the group of sub forums. What I want is to show the latest post post day / time for each of the sub-forums not just against the top level one. (see screenshot)
How do I do this?

Wordpress v4.4.1, bbPress 2.5.4

[Robkk]

this seems like some custom development , go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and post a job.

[Robkk]

this plugin could help with the register/login links

stats on bottom i kind of explain in here.

How to make similar bbpress forum to QuicSprout one?

[Robkk]

@macpresss

id say dont use bbPress then and just use WordPress blog posts/categories ,and some other thing to handle favorites and subscriptions either be jetpack subscriptions/likes , mailchimp and some other rating plugin like Polldaddy ratings for example.

can these course pages have normal WordPress comments?? if it cant this plugin i mentioned wont work.

there is also this plugin that i found that might help, but im not sure.

bbPress Integration

also this is what the discussion meta box settings should look

if it somehow just doesnt work contact your plugin developers support and see if they know why it is having issues.

[Sebastian]

@robkk: Thanks for your reply!

I tried the plugin with the settings you mentioned. I still don’t have the option to only add the reply form to a specific topic!? It just gives some cool extra features for the shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]. Am I right?

Moreover it doesn’t work with the LMS “Learn Dash”. Everytime I want to save the settings at the discussion box they are gone after klicking update. Neither in Courses, Lections or Topics – Posts. When I add and activate bbPress forum topic for comments in the normal WordPress Pages and Post it works fine.
Do you have any suggestions?

ok, I still think that the import topics still have the old site forum id’s which won’t be correct

As bbpress uses wordpress posts then on import it should have allocated new postid’s for both forum and topics and linked these. The following work will be to see what it has actually done, then we can work out what to do next !

so on the new site

1. go into dashboard>topics and pick a topic without a forum, and edit it.

The url at the top will give the post id

eg

http://mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=15602&action=edit

make a note of this as the newtopicid (I’ll refer to it later as that)

2. Then go to the forum that it should be, and again edit, and use the url to get it’s post id, and note this as newforumid (I’ll refer to it later as that)

Then go into the OLD Site and

3. go into the same topic and note the topic id as oldtopicid,

and

4. go into the it belongs to and note the number as the oldforumid.

So now we have newtiopicid, newforumid, oldtopicid, and oldforumid !

Then go into phpmyadmin on the OLD site (where it worked), and go into the sql tab and enter

SELECTpost_parentFROMwp_postsWHEREID= xxxxx

where xxx is the oldtopicid you noted above

This should come back with the correct oldforumid as the entry under post parent

Then go into phpmyadmin on the NEW site (where it doesn’t work) and enter the same query, and see what that comes back with

then come back and tell me what that reveals !

install

this will let you style that and many other things

Hi,
I am using a WordPress child theme, Flatsome. I simply want to adjust minor things like button text sizes, different colored bars, text, etc.

In Google Chrome, I am able to inspect a element and change it’s style in the inspector window, but where do I paste the modified css code? The modified code does not work in the child theme’s Appearance/Edit window when it is pasted there.

I also tried to copy (not move) the bbpress.css file into the Parent theme’s css folder, but the code still does not work. I also tried to place the bbpress.css in the Child theme.

My questions are:

1. Where do I place the bbpress.css file? In the Parent theme or Child Theme? What folder?
2. Where do I paste the modified css code within the BBpress.css file? Anywhere?

Below is code that I adjusted to suit my needs. It is code for a “submit” button on the Forum page of BBpress in my theme:

.userwall_delete_post >button:hover, input[type=”submit”], input[type=”button”], input[type=”reset”] {
-webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 7px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 7px;
border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px !important;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px !important;
padding: 10px !important;
text-decoration: none;
}

Thanks for any help!

Best,
John

there is also a bbPress specific plugin that does the same thing and its this one

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-forum-redirect/

[lflier]

Someday, somebody is going to get this 2x retina thing figured out so that it’s automatic across WordPress. Until that day, we have to do it ourselves.

The general approach is to serve a double-sized image to the browser. So, if you want an 80px avatar in your topic replies (the standard size), you need to serve up a 160px avatar in order for it to look sharp on a retina screen (i.e. iPad, Android tablet, retina MacBook Pro, or one of those delicious new 5K iMacs). And as Joe Jackson says, “You gotta look sharp!”

So, how is this accomplished? Well, in the template.php file of bbPress, there is a function called bbp_get_reply_author_link(). This is the function that gets the avatar, and it comes with the following arguments:

	function bbp_get_reply_author_link( $args = '' ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'post_id'    => 0,
			'link_title' => '',
			'type'       => 'both',
			'size'       => 80,
			'sep'        => ' ',
			'show_role'  => false
		), 'get_reply_author_link' );

The argument we want to change is the ‘size’ argument. As you see, the default setting is 80. We want it to be 160. We can change it by changing a single line in the loop-single-reply.php file, which you can locate in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/. In the stock theme, the line reads:

		<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

We want to change it to:

		<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'size' => 160, 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

And that’s all there is to it. As long as your CSS specifies a width of 80 (or whatever you prefer), you won’t see any change in the size of the avatar in your browser, it will just look sharper on retina screens. You won’t notice any difference on standard resolution screens and, unfortunately, there is a price to be paid in the size of the image that is served to those screens. Ideally, WordPress/bbPress would know what resolution screen it is serving to and set the image size on the fly. There are some plugins that do this for site images — Jordy Meow’s WP Retina 2x is a good one — but they don’t work for avatars yet. See this support topic for more discussion.

There’s just one more thing you’ll want to do. If you haven’t already done so, create a directory in your theme folder titled “bbpress”. Then make a copy of the file you just changed and place it in this directory. This file will override any file with the same name in the bbPress plugin directory. So, when you next update the bbPress plugin, you’ll retain the functionality you just created, because even though the plugin files are all replaced by the new version, the file in your theme directory will still be there.

I hope this helps everyone look sharp!

depending on how you have set up your forums

might help – see settings>help

@giuseppecuttone

your last question might be well suited to ask to the developer of the BuddyPress forum notifier plugin first.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-forum-notifier

or from buddypress support second also if it is a BuddyPress issue.

https://buddypress.org/support/

[Robkk]

Per forum moderation is noted for a future release of bbPress, i think they are going to test it out on wordpress.org first.

bbpress for comments has been noted for a future release of bbPress.

[Shmoo]

Just curious if someone could help me here..

I would like to use bbPress but not mainly as forum/support software, what I like to do is use the Forums function as categories to create structure and navigation on my site and the Topics functions as kinda ‘posts’ – the Replies function will not be used. I will remove that part from the template files.
The main reason why I want to use bbPress for my site is the Subscribe and Favorite functions.
Default members of the site can subscribe and favorite topics ‘posts’ and receive email notifications when they change content. That’s the most important feature I would like to use out of bbPress everything else I will customize to my liking.

The only thing that worries me is the performance of bbPress.
What if my site holds 15.000 members, 25.000 topcis ‘posts’ and let’s say 5.000 members subscribe to a single topic-ID. How will WordPress/bbPress handle the outgoing emails to 5.000 people will this increase the performance a lot?

Thanks,

[mvaneijgen]

This works

// hook failed login
add_action('wp_login_failed', 'my_front_end_login_fail'); 
 
function my_front_end_login_fail($username){
    // Get the reffering page, where did the post submission come from?
    $referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
 
    // if there's a valid referrer, and it's not the default log-in screen
    if(!empty($referrer) && !strstr($referrer,'wp-login') && !strstr($referrer,'wp-admin')){
        // let's append some information (login=failed) to the URL for the theme to use
        wp_redirect($referrer . '?login=failed'); 
    exit;
    }
}

Hi,

I’ve read through a lot of other similar support questions as this, but haven’t found an answer. When a non logged in user clicks on the menu link for the forum on our site, “404 page not found error” is thrown. I can not figure out how to get it to show the wordpress page that has text to tell the user to login or register to view the forum.

bbPress version: 2.5.4
WordPress version: 4.1.1
using Weaver Xtreme theme
http://sirenspaddlingclub.org/wp/
“SirensBB” is the forum

Any help would be much appreciated!!

[gabstero]

Hi gang!

Are wordpress and bbpress registrations two separate things?
If yes, how can I have one single logins for both?
