Update WordPress to the latest version as well as bbPress? You should be fine, they’re compatible. It’s mostly other plugins you might have to worry about, but generally things should work. Make sure you take a backup of your data before proceeding.
Okay,
I did a few tests. The Problem also appears if I enable the visual (tab) editor via functions.php, like described here: BBPress Codex, and even if I use this Plugin: bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab
This is what it looks like on the Website: directupload.net Image
And this is how it looks like in chrome dev tools: directupload.net Image
Can’t believe that I am the only one with this problem… Or am I doing somethings wrong?
I had to deactivate all plugins to determine which one was causing an issue for my site. After identifying the issue (nothing to do with BbPress) and reactivating my plugins all forums have disappeared from the sites and as an option in WordPress new forum posts.
As BbPress and BuddyPress have bother both reactivated I have no idea why the forums are gone?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I’ve gone through my site several times reviewing many different options but I can’t figure this out?
My site is: http://www.whichinvest.com
I have the latest versions of WordPress/BBPress/Buddypress.
Thanks
I want to update wordpress 3.9 version on my videos website but little confuse that bbpress will work fine after updation.
Hello Robin,
I don;t know what the issue is with this forum, but that last reply with the pictures is the post I’ve tried to post 2 days ago…
I already solved it with custom css
http://www.pc-helpforum.be/topic/55670-wordpress-bbpress-plugin/#entry437428
(your reply wasn’t visible at that time either).
So again I don’t know what’s wrong with this forum that post get delayed posted for over a day, but it isn’t really helpful.
It’s likely inheriting the bullets from your WordPress style.css rather than something coming from the bbPress stylesheet. So what you can do is add something like the below CSS to your bbPress stylesheet.
#bbpress-forums li {
list-style-type: none;
}
That will likely remove bullets from forum posts as well, but it’s hard to get specific without seeing the site itself.
Hopefully that takes you in the right direction.
ok, so it sounds like a theme issue, so I googled ‘wordpress theme pinboard bbpress’ and got this
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-forum-homepage-displaying-oddly?replies=8
the advice is closed to perfect as this looks very strongly like your problem. The only issue might be that the page.php file has been changed in a later version and the lines might be slightly different.
Read this first for background
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
so try the following
1. copy page.php and rename it bbpress.php
2, edit the bbpress.php file
line 12:
<?php post_class(); ?>
to
<?php $classes=get_post_class(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $classes); ?>
4. modify LOCAL forums.php line 18:
<?php the_content(); ?>
to
$content = get_the_content(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $content); ?>
Save this file and reload it to your theme
As the link says, you should really put it into a child theme
Functions files and child themes – explained !
but either way keep a copy of it.
Come back if this isn’t clear
Hello,
I have imported the users from phpbb into wordpress(bbpress) using Importing Tools. But the users are not able to login to system. are there any setup required to allow imported users to login?
I have checked the wp_usermeta table and many rows filled for imported users along with this column ‘_bbp_password’.
In wp_users table password is empty for imported users. I have read some where this password will update after the first login. But in my case the imported users are not able to login in WP.
can you guys help regarding this?
thanks
rehan
I installed the GD bbPress Tools plugin and the plugin itself works great. However, when you go to edit profile so that you can edit your signature, everything is “white” and you can’t see what you have written, etc. I originally had this issue on the actual bbPress forums but I downloaded the bbPress UI settings and changed it to a dark theme. I am completely lost in codec’s and css, etc, but I would like to know what to do to change this as it is really annoying some of the people that joined our site. I’m attaching a picture of what the issue appears to be.
Wordpress Version is 4.0.1.
Theme is Falcon (Child theme of 2014 themes)
GD bbPress Tools version is 1.6
Hi there!
I apologize if someone else has already posted about this, but I did a search and didn’t find someone with my exact error. But I have been using bbPress version 2.5.4 with WordPress version 4.0.1, and it was working great for the past few days until I tried to use CMS2CMS to transfer over my forum from phpBB to WordPress. It now has “Page Not Found” errors, even after removing all traces of the CMS2CMS plugin. I can not access any portion of my forum, but everything looks fine on the back end. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of my plugins and still continue to get the error. What am I missing?
Here is the link to my site:

Thanks in advance! 🙂
I have a child theme setup using the Child Theme Configurator plugin. I have the following in the child theme folder; style.css, function.php and bbpress.php (renamed from page.php).
I am using the WP-Englightened theme.
I copied the page.php to the child root and renamed it to bbpress.php. There doesn’t seem to be anything in that file to remove for the sidebar.
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'before' ); ?>
<?php
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
global $do_not_duplicate;
$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;
?>
<div <?php post_class('singlepage clearfix'); ?> id="single-page-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div class="entry">
<h1 class="page-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php if ( get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'video_embed', true ) ) {
$video_embed = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'video_embed', true );
echo '<div class="post-feature-video single">';
echo '<div class="single-video">';
echo $video_embed;
echo '</div>';
echo '</div>';
} ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'after' ); ?>
I tried putting this in the style.css file based on a thread here.
.site,
.site-header {

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {

margin-right: 0;
}
}
@media screen and (min-width: 673px) {
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0;
}
}
If I create a page and use the short code for bbpress and tell it in the page options to do full width it works fine for the main page but not for the rest of them.
You can add the default WordPress media button. I guess it only works for logged in WordPress users with authorization to upload.
Hey all, first post here and hope someone can help me.
I’ve put a bbpress forum in my wordpress website and created a Forum button in the main navigation bar
http://www.hardwarehome.nl
When I click this button the forum is shown perfectly.
When I then klick on a subforum like reviews it’s still perfect, but then!
If I klick forums, not on the main navigation bar, but in the forum menu itself, it brings me back to the forum (notice the sligt difference in URL /forum when coming form the menu bar, and /forums when coming trough the forum) but it’s all scrambled up!
Anyone any suggestions on this one?
The next release of bbPress will allow you to customise the CSS based on the user role in each topic or reply so you should be able to do what your asking here 🙂
See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2692 for further details 🙂
Additionally also see this post on how to achieve the same results now 😉
To add and thanks Rob, bbPress.org does not use Font Awesome, we us Dashicons that are included with WordPress.
Dashicons
// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) {
if (!is_user_logged_in())
return $menu;
else
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user=$current_user->user_login ;
$profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/">My Profile</a></li>';
$menu = $menu . $profilelink;
return $menu;
}
i just edited the code listed here
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
@situationerdk
most of the features users wanted in that survey can be achieved with some plugins listed here
Feature Plugins Tracking
attachments you would have to use gd-bbPress attachments
quotes you can use bbPress direct quotes or gd-bbPress tools
for using bbPress for WordPress comments you can use the bbPress topics for posts plugin
if you just want users to be able to edit their comments use the simple comment editing plugin
if you think bbPress needs specific features added to the core of the plugin make a new topic about that.
@Jeff – Ok, glad you received my oroginal post in the way it was to be understood. Just saw your post over here http://wptavern.com/bbpress-2014-survey-results-show-users-are-still-disappointed-with-lack-of-features. I see we are along the lines …..
I could have written an article like that, but it would not have vented the frustration. I would love to be able to use bbPress and WordPress together. As it is now I dont think of bbPress as normal forum software – but conceptually I would be able to use it to replace the hopeless commenting system that is so weirdly OLD and outdated in wordpress. That way wordpress gets a lift and bbpress becomes the relatively simple software it is in its own right – as a nice facelift for wordpress commenting. Have they not noted the brilliant Disqus plugin ? It is really good – and why wordpress has not made these features native – perhaps not exactly like Disqus – but somewhere along those lines, I really cannot understand – is WordPress simply sleeping ? Users cant even edit their comments as a standard feature when commenting ? Why are they not on the forefront on this defining feature for a blogging system ?
I will probably go with Xenforo and the Xenword addon. It will probably be an official addon sometime (see also the CTA Featured threads and Portal …. nice one by Brogan..). Or MyBB which is also awesome.
its really simple to achieve this type of thing , use a plugin like this
wordpress.org/plugins/log-out-shortcode/
the plugin basically uses some code already in WordPress that you can use.
codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_logout_url
How I did it is this. first I changed my css Using a child theme I just added this css to my style.css (Important to use a child theme so you don’t lose your changes.)
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: none !important;
}
.bbp-forum-title{
display: block !important;
font-size: 22px;
font-weight: bold;
border-top: 15px solid blue;
boder-top-left-radius:5px;
boder-top-right-radius:5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.bbp-topic-title {
font-size: 16px !important;
}
What this did is I made multiple forums instead of categories. when I made the forums I used the text area to include the descriptions. Left the main topic forums closed. so no one could post on there.
I then made sub forums (hence using my main forums as category tags) and again used the text area for the description while creating the forums. I left these open so post could be made in there.
Now I have all kinds of styling you can change. Play with the borders margins colors and text size until you get what you like. I also found the text size to be too small for the descriptions so I used the plug in tinymce advanced to add custom fonts, font-sizes and colors for the descriptions.
the solution to this is built in WordPress not not in bbpress. First make sure you have an actual page called forums then use short code to mate it your main forums index page. Once that is confirmed check your permalinks and make sure they are not on default. ( I usually use post name). Now your forums page should be showing as a page on your site. Then go to custom menu Dashboard>appearance>menus once there you can create many different menus and label where they will show up, or even call them through the widget area. But for your particular problem find the one called Main(top primary menu) then just add the pages you want to show up on that menu and delete the ones you don’t want to show up. (Be sure to uncheck automatically add top level pages).
changing it to 0 would be best. Just make sure you are using a child theme. If you aren’t you will lose the changes with the first update to bbpress or your theme. you can find child theme info on the codex or use this plug in to create it for you If you already have a child them just add the code above to your style.css in you child theme. It will override the bbpress css I would just recommend commenting off the css so its easy to find if you need to add more changes.
