I am adding a member forum section to a church website. It is just for congregation members to communicate with each other once logged in. The group wants only one main forum in which all topics will be listed/added. I have added the (bbPress) Forums List to the sidebar widget area, but it does not show up. When I log in, I see “member login” with my user name and below that “recent topics” with all topics listed in the right sidebar. The “forum List” does not appear at all, making it very confusing to navigate the topic threads. I don’t know css and am totally lost here, so please be kind and very specific with your help. 🙂

My WordPress version is 4.1.1 and we are using the “Risen” Theme.
bbPress version is 2.5.4, I am also using bbl style pack and bbPress WP Tweaks 1.3.1
the site is http://www.uugrassvalley.org

i suggest going to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ post a job , and then a developer can custom develop this for you.

[Robkk]

you can see if any of the unread posts plugin add a body class to the replies to use.

Feature Plugins Tracking

other than that i suggest maybe https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-topics/

@giuseppecuttone

i dont know any plugin that can handle notifications very well , all i know is the default bbpress notifications and they seem to be having issues for users lately.

as for changing the default email address see if this works

use this for custom email address

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', function( $email ) {
	return 'webmaster@mydomainname.com';
});

use this for custom from name

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', function( $name ) {
	return 'WordPress Email System';
});

What does it say? It is a simple wordpress site (the url I sent). The root site is basic css and html. I receive no errors other than the one I’m seeking help with. Can someone else look at this topic and help me out? Thank you.

@kiwi3685

what importer did you use , the one listed in tools>forums Import??

because i see the bbPress one doesnt have much information in the codex and it is still in beta testing.

this could work or not , im only guessing to try to help

what you could try is go to tools>forums Repair forums and check

Remap existing users to default forum roles

and see if that fixes it.

there is also a ticket on the importer for SMF

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2380

[Robin W]

either add this to your functions file

add_filter('protected_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_protected_title');
function ntwb_remove_protected_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}
 
add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}

or use

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack

[Robkk]

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

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-login-register-links-on-forum-topic-pages/

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.

[Robkk]

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?

[Robin W]

try

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

[Robin W]

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 !

[Robin W]

install

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

this will let you style that and many other things

It is possible?
Thank’s for your support

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
