Hello,

I am just wondering if this is how it suppose to work. I was testing the user’s page in bbpress and I update my bio and when I hitted the update profile button it seemed that it worked ok. Later on I was in my WordPress user profile when I noticed that most of my settings were reset to defaults. I shouldn’t updated my profile through bbPress? Or there is a bug?

Thanks,

PS: I am using WP 3.4.2 and bbP 2.1.2

Hi Guys,

I have no idea what has happened to my forums – they were up and running fine for a little while but have recently fallen apart on me.

Am running the Pagelines Framework, latest versions of BBPress, Buddypress and WordPress.

Have tried deactivating recently installed plugins with no success. If anyone could suggest what may be going on that would be greatly appreciated

Apologies in advance if I have not provided enough info – if you need anything else, please just ask. I am new around these parts 🙂

Hey,

The theme compat works 😛 but it uses the CSS of my WordPress theme which totally screws the lay-out of the forum 😛 That is why I start working with Twentyten. Is there no possibility to make it two column?

I’m not 100% sure this is exactly what you were wanting to do, but I figured I’d post this for anyone else for finds this thread.

I released a plugin that basically hides bbPress from all users who are not logged in.

For example, if your forum is at YourDomain.com/forums and a vistor tries to go there who is not logged in, they will be redirected to a URL of your choice (defined in the settings). Also this plugin disables all bbPress RSS feeds and most shortcodes.

You can just delete the user and assign all those topics & replies to another user.

eg. If your vBulletin username was ‘Anointed’ and that username is the same username you setup for WordPress during the import, bbPress would have created a username ‘Imported_Anointed’ to avoid duplicates etc.

Go to the WordPress Admin -> Users and find the username ‘Imported_Anointed’ and click ‘delete’, the next screen will show you a copuple of options to either delete the user and all posts OR to ‘Attribute all posts and links to’ another username, simply select your ‘Anointed’ username from the dropdown list and all topics and replies will now be merged with your primary WordPress username ‘Anointed’

Filed a bug report in trac – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1974

Will hopefully get a patch soon have this fixed for 2.2 🙂

Thanks for reporting the bug!

Hello John, thank you for your reply. It sounds logical that this could be the reason, but we can’t find an option to change the number format (for example from 2,033 to 2033). We have searched all the options in BBpress and WordPress but we could not find it.

Could you give us more info, how to change it?

Thank you in advance.

@renai42 – Thanks for the feedback. The great thing about bbPress being open-source is you’re able to fix the things you don’t like on your own with Subversion patches via our Trac.

Sorry you’re finding the CSS to be complicated. There are some compromises we made to be able to make bbPress as good as it can with every possible WordPress theme available. As such, some CSS rules are more strict than others, and we tend to have things wrapped in ID’s to allow groups of content to be styled and/aggressively reset.

The staff here are volunteers, every one of us. We operate under the assumption that if you’re in the code, asking code questions, that you’re comfortable taking on something new and foreign. I’ll defend the code here though, since bbPress’s code is nicely documented and orderly.

Volunteer community members represent the project, but they also represent themselves. If someone’s made you feel bad, that’s between you and them. We’re all adults here, and it doesn’t benefit anyone to talk above or below anyone else; when it happens, it weeds itself out pretty quickly.

Regarding CSS specifically, it’s in the name: it cascades down. This means you’re able to add whatever rules you’d like in the stack, and the browser will interpret those new rules in kind. If it’s not obvious enough to you, that just means you learned something new today. That’s not anyone’s fault, or anything that anyone should be upset about on either side.

Again, thanks for your feedback; if you’d like to talk privately about a specific matter or person, contact me privately (a Google search should bring up multiple ways to do this.)

There is one that was released a few weeks ago: http://pippinsplugins.com/mark-as-read-for-wordpress/

[Jared Atchison]

I’m sure this won’t help, but just out of curiosity are you on the latest version of WordPress/bbPress?

[John James Jacoby]

I’m using a plugin I made called bbPress No Admin.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/

[John James Jacoby]

Saying that it’s obvious isn’t really fair. WordPress works in specific ways for specific reasons; blindly, forcefully overriding it isn’t something to take lightly.

I’m looking at the 404 issue.

[Jared Atchison]

Sure thing. bbPress.org uses a plugin called wp-markdown 🙂

[renai42]

hey mate,

this is precisely the kind of overly simplistic response which turns people off using bbPress. Your suggestion is pretty much contained in the bbPress documentation already and is less than useful.

Sure, you need to copy bbpress.css to the right directory and edit it. But what you fail to mention, and what is mentioned nowhere in the bbPress documentation, is that many of the font specifications are not actually listed in that CSS file — you need to puzzle out the CSS entry yourself and add a new CSS entry, not edit an old one, to change the font size.

I spent three hours working this out last night. The correct entry is:

bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,

bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {

    font-size: 12px;

}

I have seen this same response from the moderators on the bbPress forum dozens of times as I searched it last night. This same arrogance — ‘just copy the CSS file and edit it’. Technically you’re right, but without any detail or documentation around bbPress, this suggestion comes across as the contempt of an experienced web developer for someone who is, in their eyes, a ‘n00b’.

I operate a major WordPress site and edit its CSS files daily. And yet, the CSS for bbPress is hideously complex and hard to understand. I suggest that you guys modify your attitude and start looking for actual solutions to people’s problems … especially around making default themes easier to customise. Otherwise, bbPress, which is an awesome solution to a long-held problem for WordPress site owners, will remain the little-used forum software that it is.

I just updated to the latest bbPress version from 2.0 and I don’t the new fancy editing elements in my forum.
I am currently using an edited version of the twentyten theme that I am using as a child theme. Do I need to update the theme in order to see the new fancy editing elements? How can I fix this problem? Thanks,

PS: I am also running WordPress 3.4.2

[jezza101]

I think it would be a case of changing the order of the two filters? So when you apply a filter you have to set the priority:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter

If you change the priority of the filter on that plugin to be less than the filter on mine it might then work in the right order.

Which plugin are you using? Is it this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/kk-i-like-it/

I can have a look if I can get the right plugin to test…

[Jared Atchison]

I believe bbPress uses wp_mail() and does not explicitly set a “from”, so wordpress@domain.com is used by default.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_mail

[radi_v]

Any updates on this topic?

I need to convert my post comments into replies. How to do it?

[aussi]

Hi all,

When email notifications are sent from our bbPress deployment, the ‘From’ address is being set to ‘wordpress@[domain]’. Looking into the WordPress core code (v3.4.2) in pluggable.php, this is done on line 336 when no ‘From’ header is passed in to the wp_mail() function. We’ve reviewed the bbPress configuration and can’t find anywhere that this can be set, have we missed a setting somewhere?

Note our site is using WordPress 3.4.2 Multisite with bbPress 2.1.2.

Here is an image of the problem.

I have tried the twentyten BBPRESS theme and there is no issues, and there is no issues with 3 other WordPress themes I tried.

Anyone please help

[renai42]

hey everyone,

installed a base install of bbPress today on a test site:

http://topstory.com.au/forums/

Basically all I want to do is modify the font size down, from 12px to 11px. Can someone tell me where I can do this? I’ve done a lot of frakking around with CSS files with WordPress, but can’t find the right setting in bbPress.

Cheers,

Renai

The body classes are applied dynamically using the WordPress body_class() function (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class)

You can use a little trickery to hook into it and remove classes, but if possible I probably won’t do that.

Why are you wanting to remove that body class?

[nielsvanrenselaar]

I got the same problem. The problem only occurs when the user has not made any posts yet. WordPress throws in a 404 error since the loop fails for the user. This is a bbPress bug and should be fixed.

[Jared Atchison]

I’d post it on the WP job board http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[applesqaz]

hey guys

I want my forum to look exactly like http://bbpress.org/forums/

I want the forum to be on the root of my site. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.com

Let me know how much you want for installation and customisation.

I can install wordpress as my host allowes 1 click install. i have installed bbpress but cant get it looking like what i want.

I really like the layout of this forum here and all the colors so id be happy if someone could clone it.

thank
