This will get the description where you want it – I can’t remember how it will handle images, but give it a try

Hi Robin,

I’m using the free version of Astra and Elementor.

However, I’ve spent far too long trying to figure this out so I purchased CSS HERO like Chook suggested and I must admit I’m so happy I did!

I imagine somehow it finds the root of all css on the site then somehow by putting in new css it overrides the current css (which is odd as when putting custom css into the wordpress customizer – additional css literally nothing will change on the site).

Anyway.. it works!

Thank you both,

Tim

For some unknown reason, the Merge topics function starting return the error:

“There has been a critical error on your website”

“Learn more about debugging in WordPress”

So I setup a staging site and disabled all of the plugins and started re-activating them one-by-one. With everything deactivated the Merge topics button worked just fine. You could see the dropdown box with all of the available topics to choose from.

I got down to the last major plugins, “Paid Memberships Pro” and “Business Directory Plugin” and when I activate either one of these, the Merge topic button returns the “There has been a critical error on your website” message.

We are running WordPress version 5.4.2, PHP version 7.0.33 and bbPress version 2.6.5

Any suggestions on possible fixes or quick ways to troubleshoot further will be greatly appreciated!

I’m using a paid wordpress theme. I can modify code if that is needed. I haven’t changed any bbPress theme thus far. Thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

have you tried

Private groups

[Anonymous User 14145219]

I have wordpress member login enabled on my website, and I want to remove the default bbPress login. I looked at bbp Style plugin but I can’t find a way to remove the default login.

Here is the link to the problem: https://www.shabdaacademy.com/forums/forum/life-sciences-forum/

There are two login mechanisms – 1. my member login, and 2. bbPress default login. How do I remove 2?

Thanks

Hi Robin,

Thank you very much for replying!

Ah yes, so it’s the ‘forum index’ page that is displaying a different style to all the other pages.

I’ve used the short code: [bbp-forum-index] on the forum index page that I made in the WordPress ‘Add New’ page.

I’ve then linked the url: http://findgyms.co.uk/forums/ to the ‘Forums’ button in my header.

I hope this answers what you were asking?

In regards to the explanation in the linked item 8.. Well, that was a learning curve! I didn’t even know how to access the WordPress database but now I do!

If I’ve understand it correctly, this header issue is possible as the ‘topics’ pages in the forum posts have the correct header styling but the ‘index’ does not – from the description this says it could be due to the index page using the ‘about’ page style instead of the topics using the ‘posts’ style.

After looking in the database I think that the forum index page is using the correct ‘Astra’ theme, but not showing the correct css for my header that all my other pages are (even the ‘About’ page).

So I don’t think I would need to copy and rename the page.php file to bbpress.php (unless I wanted bbpress theme to be different to the astra theme – I think I’ve got that correct, if not apologies!)

I really appreciate any further help with this as this is becoming quite confusing for my extremely novice brain 🙂

Thanks,

Tim

Hello all!

I’m using WordPress with the plugin bbPress slightly modified by me for my use.

So far, so good.

The only thing I’m stuck at, is the fact that for certains functions to appear (like Approve Reply, Close Topic etc.) I need to refresh the page, otherwise the buttons won’t appear.

How can I implement a sort of a function in order to refresh the current page just after I clicked on it?
So that basically when I enter this page, it gets automatically refreshed (and so the buttons will appear).
I’m talking specifically about the Topics / Replies page, I really need to refresh the page over there.

Thank you!

Here is a different plug in that does a reasonable job:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

After installing it, go to discussion settings and then set it to create a forum topic for each post, copy tags, etc. Then you have an option to apply settings to all existing posts.

I tried this on a test site and it worked pretty well. It did not do all the bookkeeping of reply counts correctly, but it did create appropriate topics for each post and import the comments and replies to them. Local bookkeeping services

It is also reversible as it does not delete either the posts or comments — if you deactivate the plug in your posts (which were unchanged anyway) and their comments are intact. You do still have a bunch of new topics in your target forum.

yes, I also removed the add-in

Hi there,

Please bear with me here as I’m new to all this css stuff! I spent all of yesterday trying to find out what is going wrong..

After installing BB Press in my Astra Theme my header background colour, site title + tagline and sub menu + button have lost their formatting (or maybe more correctly termed style?).

You can see here:

http://findgyms.co.uk/forums/

This is compared to the header background colour and site title/tagline formatting in all my other pages (for example):

Home

This confuses me even more because the forum topics have the correct header formatting like all my other pages:

General Discussion

As I couldn’t understand where this issue lies I posted on the WordPress forum who then directed me here to ask the question 🙂

I’m building the pages through WordPpess dashboard as per this video example:

I’m using Elementor to build all my other pages.

Can anyone help please?

Many thanks in advance,

Tim

p.s. I would like to add even though I’ve literally spent 8 hours trying to figure this out I think bbpress is an awesome addition so thank you to whoever put it out there!!

bbPress – Moderation Tools

shows pending to author and admins and sends emails to admins

[Robin W]

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

and you can set up emails in HTML

if you are technical, then the code is in that plugins includes/functions_emails.php

Hi,

I can’t get the login form to login. All it does no matter what you type in is redirect the user to the WordPress login page.

Home

I setup a test user… user and pass are “test”

I’ve tried everything and I’m baffled….

[bricktram]

I have copied this across from the WordPress support site on the suggestion of someone on there due to the problem only developing after trying to install bbPress on the website I manage.

“I have recently been adding a members only area to a website that I manage and have so far not had any problems until I tried adding a forum. I don’t know if it is plugin related for the problem to come about, but disabling the plugins to see if one of them is causing the problem doesn’t seem to fix it.

When I try to edit some pages or posts that have already been published, I sometimes get a ‘403 Forbidden, Access to this resource on the server is denied!’ error when I click on the ‘Preview Changes’ or ‘Update’ button. I only get this with certain posts or pages. I have tried to re-create the same pages that get the error from scratch, and have found that the error only happens when I include a link that opens in a new tab.

The existing version of the posts and pages are working fine, and I can edit everything okay. I just can’t preview or publish any post or page that includes a link that opens in a new tab.

I use the ‘Classic Editor’ plugin for editing posts and pages. I also have the ‘s2Member Framework’ plugin for the members only areas. This problem seems to have come about today after installing the ‘bbPress’ plugin to add a forum to the site.

The last time a post was successfully published with a link that opens in a new tab was on the 31st May and the only change I have made since then is installing the ‘bbPress’ plugin this morning (13th June).

I’ve tried looking at various troubleshooting suggestions, but none of them seem to fix it.

Edit: Since posting the above, I’ve been looking at some of the other posts and pages and it seems I can no longer see a pattern to which ones I can edit and which I can’t. I had thought it was something to do with the code for opening links in new tabs or windows due what I mentioned above. Now I can’t see any obvious similarity between which ones I can and which I can’t edit.

Thanks in advance for any help.”

[wrapson]

OK Thank you for that. If the problem was in the WordPress good word/Bad word list can you tell me where I’d find it ?
Grateful for your help.

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress looks at

the WordPress block list
no. links

in that part of the code, so maybe worth asking paid memberships if they do any checking.

Otherwise without site access, I can only guess that another plugin is doing something.

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress just uses WordPress moderation, so do you have anything set in

dashboard>settings>discussion that could be affecting?

[robertherold]

Hi,

We have been looking for a solution for a long time to mention a user in bbPress.
I found a mention plugin for WP comments. Maybe it’s a little easier to filter things out of this than from BuddyPress and make a mentioning plugin for bbPress…

Comment Mention

[robertherold]

I have installed wordpress, bbpress and BNFW in a new directory and the error persists:
If I edit the email address on the bbPress profile page, WP will send a confirmation email.
If I edit the email address on the admin page, BNFW will send a confirmation email.

Oh, I see you found the BNFW support page 🙂

[Robin W]

what roles are you set to

WordPress role admin
bbpress role keymaster

are needed
