Hi everyone! I’m using the fancy “new” TinyMCE box to post comments in the forums, but I have a site with black background, so the box where you write the comment is black too, but the letters are grey (WordPress default). If I try to change the CSS style, It changes the default TinyMCE box, so if I make the text white, I will have white text in WordPress’s “Write a new article” box too.
Is there any way to change the letters colors of the TinyMCE ONLY to use it in bbPress comments box? I would appreciate a detailed explaination ’cause I’m a little noob with WP and BBP.
@shineonscotland Do you have a page created called ‘forums’? the reason I ask this is that http://causeblogs.org/topics/ appears to work fine and the http://causeblogs.org/forums/ should display in the same manner.
Also, I see that you have the bbPress Visual Hooks, great plugin from @jaredatch
Sorry for the double post, but I took control of the account and I’m not able to reproduce the error from my session. Her password was reset. Perhaps there is some security setting or browser issue causing wordpress to flag users for reviews? I don’t know much about PHP/MySQL and WordPress so what I’m saying might be stupid…
I am trying to install BuddyPress and BBPress. I install BuddyPress just fine. Then, since many posts on this forum said not to install BBPress “through” BuddyPress, I downloaded BBPress from this site (the most recent version), uploaded it to my FTP and then activated the plugin through WordPress. The moment I click ACTIVATE bbpress, the site breaks. I get the following error page when I try to go to ANY page of my site…
> The website encountered an error while retrieving
> http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php. It may be down for
> maintenance or configured incorrectly.
I can get my site back online by logging into FTP and renaming the pluging folder for bbpress (so WordPress can’t find the plugin). However, I would like to get the forum working on my site. Please help.
I’m using the most recent version of WordPress and the plugins…
- WordPress Version: 3.4.1
- Buddy Press Version: 1.6
- BBPress Version: 2.1.2
well I found another plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/installation/
and now it works as I wanted 🙂
Thank you.
There are multiple articles out their on how to do multiple WordPress installs but share the users from a single database.
I’m not sure why you would want to do it this way though if it is just scalability you are concerned about have a read of this thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-for-millions-of-posts/
Sorry for the delay but very busy weekend here… Thanks for the video… “Your doing it right”…
https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ PHP 5.2.4 or greater, MySQL 5.0 or greater
I’m trying to replicate it now and will update later.
Howdy,
I added support for bbPress into my anti-spam plugin this morning. I don’t actually use bbPress though, so can’t confirm that it is indeed working on a live site, so if any of you kind bbPress folks can help a poor plugin dev. out by testing it for me, that would be really handy 🙂
It works ninja well on blog comments, so assuming I’ve implemented it correctly, it should (in theory) work just as well for bbPress too.
Here’s the announcement post for bbPress support:
http://pixopoint.com/2012/08/05/bbpress-buddypress-and-multisite-spam/
And here’s the download page at WordPress.org:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spam-destroyer/
It should help block both user registrations via the bbPress user registration shortcode and it should block automated guest posters too.
is there something that i can use so that i can embed soundcloud music… is there a plugin for bbpress that i can embed anything on my bbpress, to make my post like html or something… i need it for my music website. i’m using wordpress, in my normal post i can embed soundcloud but in bbpress i can’t. can someone help me with this problem. thank’s

Pastebin doesn’t look like a viable option as far as actually integrating it. Would require tapping into their api which is a level of programming that is waaay over my head.
An unpleasant, but manageable workaround is to use:
http://centricle.com/tools/html-entities/
to encode the code first, wrap it in code tags and cross your fingers.
Still has issues with quotes and rel=”nofollow”, but going back and editing I managed to get the code to display cleanly how I want it.
Getting users to do this (even if they knew how) will be impossible so ultimately we’ll just have to settle with the “use Pastebin and share the URL” method.
There is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/ – but it’s not so pretty and still has it’s glitchy moments.
Another option I suppose would to get in the code and change it so that the code button inserts textarea tags instead and then just style the hell out of them to look and function like they’re not textareas ;). That could sure confuse users though.
I guess we’ll see what 2.2 brings.
Thanks, Bryan

I added this ticket, which needs more conversation on approach:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925
WordPress version: 3.4.1
bbPress version: 2.1
Website: http://www.supercards.com.br
Hello There
I´ve been searching this for days.
Is there a way to show in a custom page the recent topics form specific forums, limiting the number of posts? Either via widget or directly putting code into the template files?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
I’m looking for someone to help me cleanly implement bbpress into my wordpress site. I’ve actually had trouble finding freelancers who specifically list bbpress as an area of expertise. Could you guys point me in the right direction? Or if anyone here also freelances, it would be great to hear from you. My skype is jsandlund
Many thanks!
Jonny
Thanks so much, I used the workaround for the missing variable suggested here:
http://themeforest.net/item/cheerapp-app-wordpress-bbpress-theme/discussion/2007363?page=7
Worked fine. =)
However, why are all the links to older bbpress versions on this site broken? Just wondering..?
Thanks Again,
Nicole

A link to your site would help so we can see your setup.

If you could give us a link to your site we can have a look.
Can you create a ticket with replication steps and the expected behavior https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
Any fixes for known issue have all been released with bbPress 2.1.2
Why arnt you running the latest versions WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress?
The behavior you are seeing is by design what the ‘bbPress Moderation’ plugin
From https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/
> “To help reduce spam in bbPress forums, this plugin will change the
> status of new topics and replies to ‘pending’. Any pending
> topics/replies will be shown as ‘Awaiting Moderation’ until the
> administrator approves publishes them.”
Or did you install this plugin to try and resolve the issue but with the plugin disabled you are still seeing this behavior?
What happens when you disable all other plugins on your WordPress install?
Another user is also having problems with ‘CheerApp’ and are waiting for the developer to update the theme. You see those issues here:
Can't view or post to forums after 2.1 update
The specific issue you are having is listed by someone else in the comments section (and a workaround) here:
http://themeforest.net/item/cheerapp-app-wordpress-bbpress-theme/discussion/2007363?page=7
I would suggest you contact the author of theme also to see when an update will be available as no doubt that would be the best route to take.
I’m not quite following you… What are you using to do this in WordPress and how do you want to do this in bbPress? Posting some links to screenshots would help a great a deal.
