Thanks for your reply and sorry that you are “lost in translation”. Following your advice, I have; changed the theme to twenty fourteen, revised a forum page with the text and [bbb-forum-index], added this to the menu, recreated another forum and a topic as well as changing the permalink setting to “default”. What else do I need to do so that the bbpress features finally appear when clicking “forum” on the menu bar ? Thanks again.

[Stephen Edgar]

A couple of things to also check and try:

– Try creating a new user, assign the participant role, login as that user and post a topic or reply and try editing.
– If that didn’t work, disable all your plugins and switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme and try again.
– Ensure you are trying to edit the topic/reply before the default 5 minute allowed time setting in bbPress settings.

look at the bbpress default stylesheet , then look at your stargazer child themes bbpress stylesheet and see what you need.

heres some code that you might need …i dont know right all that you need

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
margin-left: 130px;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
text-align: left;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author {
float: left;
text-align: center;
width: 115px;
}

I cant seem to get it working, I downloaded all five php file from the trac and put them in the bbpress folder but this is still what I got : http://mmo4teen.webuda.com/forum-2/
I’m using the normal stargazer theme with default bbpress.

[gogitossj34]

Oh, that’s not what I mean.
By table, I mean that every forum in a category has its own table. Even using the default bbpress ( without the Stargazer Colloquium theme ), I get this:
table top
Category
-forum
-forum
table bottom

table top
category
….
table bottom

I’m getting the han of css but not really understand bbpress div ( or is it class, still confuse, I mean like bbp-something) A
and checking on w3 and google doesn’t help much. Do you now any documentation that will help ? Thanks in advance.

I intend to use a premium theme for the Blog section of my site while I want the bbpress forum in /discuss slug to have a basic theme (preferably Twenty Twelve, as the default themes are best compatible with bbpress). Is that possible by any hacks or plugins?

I guess I could install a different installation (standalone bbpress or as a plugin) in a /discuss directory but I’m afraid at one point the permalinks to the two different sites may be too complicated to handle. Simply put, I don’t like the idea. So I’m hoping this is possible for bbpress [installed as a plugin on the main site] to have a theme of its own other than the one being used on the site.

Please let me know if it’s possible or if there’s any workaround to do what I want.

Thanks in advance for your time.

[Stephen Edgar]

This is working per design of bbPress.

Removing the “forums prefix” removes be default “forums” or in your case “classes”

What you are alluding to is you want the “forum” slug removed, similar are the “topic” and “reply” slug settings, these cannot be removed in bbPress at this stage though you can change them.

[Robkk]

really any plugin that has an included insertable template tag will work.

im going to use jetpack sharing as an example .

first i take every instance of each default area jetpack sharing shows.(also jetpack likes)

function jptweak_remove_share() {
    remove_filter( 'the_content', 'sharing_display',19 );
    remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'sharing_display',19 );
    if ( class_exists( 'Jetpack_Likes' ) ) {
        remove_filter( 'the_content', array( Jetpack_Likes::init(), 'post_likes' ), 30, 1 );
    }
}
 
add_action( 'loop_start', 'jptweak_remove_share' );

and then i could just display it anywhere on the reply. in loop-single-reply.php

with this

if ( function_exists( 'sharing_display' ) ) {
    sharing_display( '', true );
}

this code also removes it from content like posts and pages. but you can just manually insert it into your wordpress templates to with the above code.

[Robkk]

bumping too soon ?

at least you did not create an entirely new topic

bbpress has that tabled layout by default , its your child theme

Stargazer Colloquium added that kind of layout to your theme.

what you can do is find each changed template you dont want and just replace it with some of the original bbpress template code by copying it there.

and also check on the bbpress.css in your child theme

[Halo Diehard]

To add to the above post, I just tested with default theme and all plugins of except bbPress, BuddyPress and bbp buddypress profile information and the issue persists. Just wanted to rule out any conflicts, since I hadn’t done the first rule of testing plugins.

Hi Robin,

Not sure what was confusing about my questions? I’ll try and make them a bit more clear.

1. The only place within bbPress that says: “Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue” is on the page after clicking on a topic if you’re not logged in. This is what needs to be edited and I can’t find the php code to edit this.

I need to edit the text that’s contained in the yellow box because the default links to Login and Register take you to the default WordPress login and register screen. I don’t want that and would like to:

A. Remove the links altogether and just leave the text.
B. Edit those two links to lead to my front-end Login / Register pages instead.

In other words, If you go to the default forums page, after clicking on a forum you are taken to the discussions page. If you’re not logged in, at the bottom is a yellow box that says “You must be logged in to create new topics.” This is fine because it not only says exactly what I want it to say, it doesn’t have links to Login and Register.

Next step…

After clicking on any of the listed discussions, you are then taken to the topics within that discussion. If you’re not logged in, at the bottom is a yellow box that says “Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue. This is the text that I need to edit because the login and register links don’t take my users to the pages I want them to go to. Instead of the front end login and register pages that I’ve created, these two links go to the default WordPress login register. I can’t have this.

How can I:

A. Remove the links altogether.
B. Edit the links to lead to my front-end Login / Register page.

Thank you so much for your time!!

Cheers!

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.

[pjsaran]

Hi,

Lets say I have 2 forums, Forum A and Forum B and two custom fields CF1 and CF2. I want to make the two custom fields available only while creating topic in Forum A, where as for Forum B it should load with default topic form.

Is it possible to do this? Any help or link which help will be helpful.

[kimmiekarma]

Also tried going to a default theme and I am still getting 404 error when trying to see the replies through the backend: http://theelitehobbyist.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply

Already reuploaded the wp-admin and wp-includes folder as well

[Robin W]

When I migrated the site to my clients server for testing I was disappointed to find that neither topic creation or reply posting was working.

when you say not working, exactly what do you mean, the ability to reply doesn’t appear? or it appears but doesn’t work?

I suggest that you also positively eliminate the theme as a contender and as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

maybe a theme or plugin issue

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.

I installed bbPress last night for the first time and WOW, this is a FANTASTIC plugin!! Very impressed!!

I have two questions so far:

Question #1. How do I edit the following text when someone comes to my forum and isn’t logged in:

“Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue”

The issue is that both Login and Register are links that lead to the default WordPress Login and Register pages. bbPress doesn’t offer an option in the settings to specify a custom page for both of these links (which needs to be added in a future update) and I’ve searched the .php files under Dashboard > Plugins > Editor > bbPress but can’t find the file to edit/remove the links? My site has been customized with front-end pages for Login/Register/Edit Profile so that no one is sent to the default Login/Register pages or the Dashboard. The default bbPress installation doesn’t work for my site simply bc I can’t edit these links…

Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Which .php file contains that text? Also, under Dashboard > Settings > Forums

// This path should be changed to:

Dashboard > Settings > bbPress

Not sure why the team chose to use the word “Forums” here but labeling that tab “bbPress” would make a lot more sense for your users. 🙂 Please add the ability to redirect both of those Login and Register links to whatever URL the user desires here: Dashboard > Settings > bbPress

Question #2. After creating topics, to the far left under the word topic there’s a red X and a clock next to the topic titles (I have two dummy topics so far). If I click on the red X, it won’t delete? Why is that delete icon there while the other is a pretty little clock? I didn’t do this, they were both posted a few minutes apart, and both have different icons?? Very confusing.

Cheers!

Hi all,

I just installed bbpress using the shortcode to display the forums on my frontpage, but I don’t think the lists are displaying as intended. In the part2 instructions it says the default look is:

But, by default my forum is displaying as a list: http://pubs.hamlin.org/tech/

I’d be happy to use the default view if I could make it work. Does anyone have an idea of what’s going on here? I’m using the twentyeleven theme.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi all

I’m using the default bbPress to which I have added custom css – nothing crazy just some colour changes etc.

Everything seems to working fine apart for the user settings page.

The avatar shows with the navigation underneath.

The information about post started shows and I can edit the user details.

‘Your Posts Started’ doesn’t show any posts.

If I checked the page source it shows the code but it’s offset to the right of the window and just shows it as empty boxes.

[Robkk]

Is it difficult to do so?

i dont know how jquery works so yes.

but i looked at the plugins info and there is a doc embedder button in the visual editor

so maybe try to enable visual editor in bbpress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

then click enable the full default TinyMCE mode, and see if the google doc button shows up.

Hi all

I’m using the default bbPress theme.

I have a forums page thats shows the forums and a search box at the top.

I have a topics page for topics in the forums with no search box at the top.

How do I have a search box at the top of the topics page.

[Stephen Edgar]

@farsite281 Thanks for this though you should submit your translations in the GlotPress project you linked above:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/ca/default
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/ca/default

Catalan Language

• /dev 43% translated, 466 strings translated, 602 Strings untranslated and 401 strings waiting approval
• /2.5 44% translated, 467 strings translated, 572 Strings untranslated and 160 strings waiting approval

The best resources to help get you started are:

The main transators handbook: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/

The WordPress translator community blog: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

bbPress translations reference: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

WordPress Catalan project site: https://ca.wordpress.org/

The reason I state that it is best to provide (and update) the bbPress (including WordPress, BuddyPress and Akismet) translations at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects is because each of these projects can have the translations updated as part of WordPress’ “Automatic Updates”, just like you see updates for your plugins and themes, if any of these projects are 100% translated you will be offered to update all of your translations from the WordPress dashboard updates page.

@robin-w

ok this works great when i tryed it on a default theme.

but on my custom bbpress theme , i seperated each item in the bbp_get_reply_author_link code and wrapped them in a class so i could better position each item.

so im using

<div class=bbp-reply-author-av><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => 'avatar' ) ); ?></div>

<div class=bbp-reply-author-name><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => 'name' ) ); ?></div>

<div class=reply-author-role><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?></div>

now i have 3 avatars, 3 author links, 3 author roles displaying on 1 reply now.

how should the code be if i dont want to mess with the args and i just want to display this..

<div class=reply-author-role><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?></div>

if the display user in the reply is only a keymaster and a moderator.

something kind of like this but where it actually works for my bbpress custom theme.

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator');

 echo " <div class=\"reply-author-role\">";
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
	echo "</div>";
	
        else {

}
?>

[Robkk]

found this code, add this to your function.php in your child theme

function custom_bbp_has_replies() {
  $args['order'] = 'DESC'; // 'ASC' (Ascending, Default), 'DESC' (Descending)
  
  return $args;
}
 
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_has_replies' );

[Robin W]

ok, could be a number of issues

start with theme and plugin as 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 look at the documentation to see what else you might need to do
