I found the way to fix the gray out issue for most people. However this didnt worked for me.

In this folder: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css
Open up bbpress.css and find #bbpress-forums .status-closed,

I changed color: #ccc; to #000;

This should have fixed the gray out issue. However it did not worked =/

This is a paste of the bbpress.css file: I changed line 59

Hi

If you mean “3. Creating a forum page”, method 2, I tried that & was able to create this forum using the shortcode => [bbp-forum-index].

On the Forum settings page & “/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=forum” page, it seems this only deals with the forum supposed according to the bbpress default settings to appear at /forums, but consistently wont.

Does it mean all the forums & subforums have to be created using shortcodes (if so, any link where to find them?).

This problem is not being experienced on another site sharing the same web hosting account, and has a separate domain. In the root of this particular, problematic site is some web directory. I wonder whether its moved the site to?

I had a similar issue of consistent failure of accessing /recipes, generated by the recipepress reloaded plugin showing the recipe archive page, even with recommended default settings & permalinks, but just like the bbpress forum at /forums, it had the right url, but content of the site/blog front page. The plugin author, though said it was a bug in the plugin & changes in the code corrected the problem described here. Correct link now here.

Could there be anything in this root folder .htaccess of the web directory (unrelated to WordPress), which may be causing this & affecting the functioning of bbpress (& not other plugins like Buddypress & co) or WordPress proper & in directory.com/wordpress & even in wordpress.directory.com? I ma not conversant with .htaccess & co. 😉

So just wondering what to do next.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

Kind regards

Hello,
I’m trying to convert a phpBB 3.0.x to bbPress using the default import tool by bbPress, but it looks that user avatars are not imported.
Anyone know how to import theme? (my phpBB has over 5000 users so I cannot import them 1 by 1 :P)

[Robin W]

I think you found a topic on an issue – since it didn’t fix it, suggest it is not relevant.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back and tell us where the issue is

[joemerchant2]

I’m using the wordpress theme Academy which uses the wordpress profile and gives the ability to upload an avatar. I want this same avatar to carry over to the user’s bbpress avatar. Therefore, when a new uploads a new avatar to the wordpress profile, it’s automatically displayed in bbpress.

ONE IMPORTANT POINT. When I click “edit” on my bbpress forum profile, it does show the wordpress avatar as the “profile photo” with a browse button, but the main avatar in the upper left-hand corner still shows the default gray image.

[CodingMachine]

Okay, here we go i’m new to wordpress and using bbpress plugin for the first time, so throws me out with lots of question. I’m designing a site Called PTForum that is completely a Parent and teacher forum i’ve tried and have come to some good position modifying bbpress as per my needs but i’m stopped to problem that i’m unable to understand how to do so please any help will be appreciated.

As bbpress show’s up default role’s (participant,moderator…) in the forum topic’s and replies but as per my needs i want this way …
1) Either display my site role, as per needs i have created custom role’s (parent and teacher) which user choose while registration and so want the same role to be displayed in the forum.

————–or————–

2) set dynamic role for bbpress forum itself so that it displays the selected role.

Thanks in advance …. you can vist this

[mostlyjan]

my issue is not checking checkboxes. This plugin has never found a way to send an email other than the test emails (those work fine). Whether a user subscribes on the front end or i assign stuff through admin makes no difference.

I tried the default: test fine no digests though.
I then installed the smtp plugin: tests fine but nothing else.

does not work. pissed off client as we never got it working. no support. very frustrating.

[Robin W]

something has changed !

Have you added any functions, or might be a plugin

Otherwise try adding this at the bottom of your functions file

function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'ASC';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');

Started by disabling all pludgins…no change

Dumb luck…I went into Settings: Format and unchecked “Add Toolbars and buttons to text area to help with HTML formatting”
Now I can see a border around the box intended for entering descriptor of the box. …a step toward solving this.

I don’t care if users have toolbar or formatting for this box but I expect I will for other boxes so still would like a fix.

I believe the change has to be in file bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php.

I am totally uncomfortable at messing around much at this level but think I need to edit this file and add some code to add a box title like “Topic Description (manditory)”

below I include the part of that original file from bbpress where it would need to be but not sure what it should look like or where to put it. I expect this is a simple thing for someone who knows what they are doing but for me…not so much! The actual code and where to copy and paste it would save me hours of trial and error. (if some code could also be added to allow the rechecking of the ‘Post Formtting’ box without loosing the border that would be a real bonus.)

From file form-topic.php

Hello, our company is on a google apps domain. While I prefer gmail, most of my co-workers prefer outlook.

I hadn’t noticed this while putting the site together, however, it appears that email notifications don’t seem to appear as links by default in outlook 2010 or 2013 the URLs just appear as plain text. I figured it was something I could probably fix so I started looking around. I stumbled on this in includes/common/functions.php

	// Strip tags from text and setup mail data
	$topic_title   = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) );
	$reply_content = strip_tags( bbp_get_reply_content( $reply_id ) );
	$reply_url     = bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id );
	$blog_name     = wp_specialchars_decode( get_option( 'blogname' ), ENT_QUOTES );
	$do_not_reply  = '<noreply@' . ltrim( get_home_url(), '^(http|https)://' ) . '>';

	// For plugins to filter messages per reply/topic/user
	$message = sprintf( __( '%1$s wrote:

%2$s

Post Link: %3$s

-----------

You are receiving this email because you subscribed to a forum topic.

Login and visit the topic to unsubscribe from these emails.', 'bbpress' ),

		$reply_author_name,
		$reply_content,
		$reply_url
	);

if I’m reading this correctly, it does indeed simply output the string of the URL. What would be the best way to go about making sure this is recognized in outlook as a link?

Thank you in advance for your help.

More info…

All forums seem to have published themselves which probably explains away the scheduled bit above. All forums are shown at ‘webitename.org/forums’ which appears to be the default and no issue with that. No topics are showing up despite them existing and publishedin the Forums > Topics area of bbpress.
When you click on a forum title the address bar adds in a level e.g ‘webitename.org/forums/forum/introductions’ which I wonder is a legacy from the import and the cause of the problems?

Help!

[brettlewis]

I’m creating a custom topic query for a section of my website that hooks into the default loop template. In the template I use
<?php if ( bbp_has_topics(array( 'posts_per_page' => 7, 'max_num_pages' => 1, 'bbp_voice_count' => 'DESC', order => 'DESC' )) ) : ?>

What I’m trying to achieve is a query the shows 7 topics that have the most participants over the last few days. I went with order as the time query but clearly making sure it only shows topics that have BOTH a large amount of users AND are currently active is what I’m trying to achieve.

Any hints or different args to use to achieve this?

sidenote: I doesn’t seem bbp_voice_count works?

[Robin W]

probably several ways you could do this.

Quickest I can think of is to alter the loop-single reply template

You should really do this in a child theme, as otherwise theme upgrades will overwrite this – google wordpress child theme video for lots of useful videos on how to do this – it’s quick and simple.

Create a bbPress folder in your theme :

Wp-content/%yourthemename%/bbpress

Where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme.

Then go into

Wp-content/plugins/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply-php

Copy this file into the bbPress folder in your theme. bbPress will now use this file instead of the default, and you can amend this file.

line 61 does the content styling, so quickest to alter the background of this file.

so you would put a check I their for keymaster, and if so, use a different class that has a different background.

How up on coding and css are you, so that I don’t spend hours typing what you already know?

[Hector]

hi @giantqtipz, in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css

search line 121:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: inline ;
font-size: 11px;
}

Changing the display: inline to display: list-item

regards 😉

I’m moving a social site into BuddyPress and the forums used a now defunct DeluxeBB. It doesn’t seem to be one of the options for the Importer Tools. Do any of you know if the structure of DeluxeBB matches that of one of the options listed?

Hello, I have imported my forms from SMF, all went great, except one thing. Parts of text in all forum posts are wrapped in strange <tt> tags.

That results in different font on the front end – http://levelonetwinks.com/?topic=about-frostmourne

And when looking at the posts from WP admin, text editor I see this:

<b>Frostmourne</b> is an established guild (<b>level 25</b>) that has existed on the realm as both social and raiding venue for nearly 8 years.<tt><tt>We’re looking for mature, fun, yet dedicated people that will not only contribute to our progress but to the strong social aspect of our guild.<tt><tt>We have a fairly non strict age requirement of 18+.</tt></tt></tt></tt>

Removing them manually sorts the issue but that’s a lot of work hours to go through each topic and reply :S

I’ve tried a localhost import to the default WP theme, same thing 🙁

Would be grateful for any insight on what may be causing it, as I’d rather not spend the next two days going through them manually :p

Cheers!

[Robin W]

just tested worked fine on my twentyten test site

suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyten to prove your code works.

[KostRev]

Somewhat related… anyone else have an issue where no anchor is generated for bbp_topic_subscription_link?

In the loop-replies.php template I have:


<div class="reply-content">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-sm" title="Set as Favorite"><?php bbp_user_favorites_link(); ?></button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-sm subscribe" title="Subscribe to Topic"><?php bbp_topic_subscription_link(); ?></button>
</div>


If you view source on the webpage there is no anchor present.
Subscribing to Forums works as expected.

Probably related to these:

Subscribe to topic link is no longer displayed

BBP: Topic Subscribe Not Working

I think I found a bug in bbp_topic_subscription_link

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2581
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2480

[Robkk]

try this the size => auto probably doesnt work or it just defaults to 80px

in loop-single-reply.php in your bbpress folder in your child theme.

change

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array('show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => avatar , 'size' => auto ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false,'type' => 'name' ) ); ?>

to this

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array('show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => avatar , 'size' => 100 ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false,'type' => 'name' ) ); ?>

now to test it upload an avatar bigger than 100px in width

[djordje007]

Thank you for your reply. You were right, one plugin blocked it (Default featured image). I disabled it and now its fine.

Thanx again.

[Robkk]

see if its a plugin issue by deactivating each plugin one at a time and check to see if deactivating one helps the links work on bbpress.

switch to a default theme like twenty twelve and see if that works.

i have a feeling it could be that you havent made a bbpress.php file, if you havent make one.

more info about bbpress.php here https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
