here use this code instead and remember put this into your functions.php in your child theme
change the numbers to whatever you want

add_filter('embed_defaults','themename_embed_defaults');
function themename_embed_defaults($defaults) {
   $defaults['width']=500;
   $defaults['height']=250;
   return $defaults;
}

hi, sorry for the late reply.

I tried both ways:

1) changing the Participant role directly

// Participant/Default
case bbp_get_participant_role() :
default :
$caps = array(

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,

// Forum caps
‘read_private_forums’ => true,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => true,
‘edit_topics’ => true,
‘delete_topics’ => true,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,
‘delete_replies’ => true,

// Topic tag caps
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

break;
}

after I changed it, nothing happened :/

and
2) making custom role, but it says:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘roles’ (T_STRING), expecting ‘(‘ in /home/gleam/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.php on line 216

216: function add_new roles( $bbp_roles )
217: {

[Leonyipa]

I also found the code is in
/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css

I directly change the number of

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img {
max-width: 100%;
}

However, no matter what number I change to, it still doesn’t work.
The width of the image still remain 100%

[Leonyipa]

Thanks very much @Robkk!!

The youtube video worked!!! I have been looking for the solution for a long time, thanks!
The maximum width of youtube video works really well!!

However, when I change the code to height, it doesn’t work 🙁

Also for the image, I edited the css
because I am using BBPress Default Theme, it doesn’t have a .css and tell me to edit function.php instead
And I paste the code into: /public_html/wp-content/themes/bp-default/functions.php

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

but no matter what I change the number, it is still set to 100%.
Did I add the code to the wrong place? or it’s not working?

[ninjaunmatched]

Okay…. So in this example do you need to have the else statement there at all? (Does IF require it?) Or is there a way to just say else use what is default without haivng to find the correct class of whatever you are altering?

[ninjaunmatched]

I know it does cascade but if you are not familiar with writting the code to STYLE over attribiutes you can go looking for lines that alter font sizes. One way you could try is to get Notepad++. This text editer is just the greatest. Never edit code without it or something like it. You can use it to search for code. In this case I would try to search for “font-size:” within the CSS file being referred to in this thread. It will find every line where the font-size is being changed.

Trying it now it finds 28 hits in the bbpress.css file I have in one of my sites. This I think will get you started. May not be the best way though. Just looking at the hits I can see some of the IDs or Classes also have a SPAN tag in them. Whichs tell me that the default span font settings would also have to be changed.

I’m not sure where your HTML knowledge is but the SPAN tag when used is like a commenting or caption section (sort of) for text and it tends to be in a smaller font.

for example:

While jumping around the hits I see this:

li.bbp-header div.bbp-topic-content span#subscription-toggle,
li.bbp-header div.bbp-topic-content span#favorite-toggle,
li.bbp-header div.bbp-reply-content span#subscription-toggle,
li.bbp-header div.bbp-reply-content span#favorite-toggle {
float: right;

You may be able to get the look you want by just changing any

font-size:

entry you find but if things or some things still look too small for you then that span tag may be what you need to change to get it the way you want.

Now I’m still just maybe a intermediate in my kowledge of things. I know what I was taught by learning myself and having taken Wed Design and Development I and II at a local college. But I am no developer. So I can read through css and understand what is going on. But because of the cascading way of CSS you can make changes that will not stick due to a higher level attribute being set so you have to play detective which wastes alot of time.

I do agree though as the responses are too vague. Looking for the same answer I find this thread and so I am sharing what I have done so far to figure this one out. I did find something that mentions being able to use an IF statement on the themes main style sheet (CSS file) that will find all bbpress related entries and change whatever attribute you designate which in this case would be the font size. Now someone mentioned this in this thread without stating how which is close to pointless if the intention is to help you solve it. At least when you make the suggestion state it in a simple way so its understood by all. I ran into this code during my research on it but I am currently here. I will copy paste the code if I can find it again. By now I assume you found the answer but for anyone else that runs into this thread. (which by the way showed up on top of a google search in like its own special section).

[Stephen Edgar]

So to be clear, you feel that if I were to implement a work around for ‘last active time’ or wait to install BBPress version 2.6 that I can confidently run BBPress on a forum that size?

Indeed, as you stated you need a fairly robust server though it sounds like you already have that. As bbPress 2.6 continues development I’d suggest you set yourself up a test install on your local PC and do some benchmarks and test the vBulletin importer as ~6.5 million posts will take a bit of time to import and familiarising yourself with how this works is worth knowing so you know what has to be done before you switch over your live site.

Is ‘last active time’ really the bottle neck? As I understood this issue, it had to do with bbPress sharing the DB table with the WordPress posts.

Yes, ‘last active time’ is the primary bottleneck as by default we sort topics based on the latest reply in a topic, though if a topic has no replies this is slotted in also.

The full technical details of this are here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925, it is not the easiest read and as there are two potential methods discussed. Primarily because of this ticket is why bbPress 2.6 is running late as there is a boat load of testing to be done to make sure we don’t break backwards compatibility.

Lastly, do you have a target date for v2.6?

3 weeks late 😉

[Robin W]

In essence if I understand it you want to change the

reply/edit/merge/trash/close/trash/reply links that come up with a topic or reply so that only some show, and others are in a dropdown list.

is that correct?

if so then

my goal with this is to call each admin link individually and make only 2 or 3 to be visible
(reply,edit,maybe quote link from gd bbpress tools)

simply requires you to filter for those you want to display

open up

bbpress/includes/replies/template.php

and you’ll see the admin links function line starting at line 1811

On lines 1840 to 1848 you’ll see the default links are added.

So lets create a function to just have the first two

you’ll see a filter in line 1841 (‘apply_filters’) and we can hook to that

so

//change admin links displayed
function change_admin_links ($r) {
$r['links'] = apply_filters( 'rw_reply_admin_links', array(
				'edit'  => bbp_get_reply_edit_link ( $r ),
				'move'  => bbp_get_reply_move_link ( $r )
			), $r['id'] );
return $r['links'] ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_reply_admin_links', 'change_admin_links' ) ;

just leaves us with edit and move.

This also gives you the ability to add a new link, with say your dropdown list.

You’ll also see that this function checks if it is a topic on line 1825, and you’ll need to similarly create a function for that – I’ll leave you to work that one out.

Come back if you need more help, and when you crack this, can you post the finished code to this site so we can see what it looks like.

[Schpil]

Hi!

Is this the file? : bbpress-functions.php
Is this its location? : /public/www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default

Where exactly do I drop the lines into the file?

thanks for your help!

[feb992]

Don´t work… the forum index load in full width but the subforum, topics… load whith the default themeplate.

I´m create a page themeplate in full widht and rename it bbpress.php and I configure the permalinks, the forum works, but don’t load how I need

Thanks 🙂

[Michael Bryner]

/edit.php?post_type=topic

reset and still nothing changed.

they were on postname I put to default and back to postname, and nothing happened.

I tried it once before too. I wonder if all the browsers are just being slow in refreshing, but the only way to test it out if that is if someone goes to my site registers and tries to post in the forums. If they see something posted, then its my computer not the internet, browser, or server. For some reason my computer is not updating or something.

[Robin W]

long answer I’m afraid and in two parts

part 1 – setting the user permission to allow delete topic and delete reply

delete is easy, making it only trash is in part 2 !

Basically you’ll need to change a couple of capabilities of the participant role

see

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

you see the abilities delete topics and delete replies (as distinct from delete others topics and delete others replies)

Whilst you could amend the participant role, I haven’t documented that, so easiest is just for you to create a new role and give it the participant capabilities plus the ‘delete topics’ and ‘delete replies’. This article explains how

Custom Capabilities

add this code to your functions file – see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

part 2 – changing the function, so that delete is only shown for keymasters

This code will only allow a keymaster to permanently delete a topic

add the following to your functions file

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_trash_link', 'topic_dont_delete');
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_trash_link', 'reply_dont_delete');

function topic_dont_delete( $args = '') {

I haven’t fully tested this code as my test site is in some disarray whilst I test something else, so you’ll need to check that it works

[Michael Bryner]

I know you’ve done themes already, but you need to test if it works on a default theme with just twentyfourteen and the bbpress plugin. If it doesn’t then something in your site is screwed up 🙂

I just did that with twentyfourteen, because I don’t have twenty twelve on it, and this is what it says with under that just reply box and buttons with no content, just like avada theme, but avada does not even show the below text.

Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.

[Robin W]

did you install any other plugins in between?

try

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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

presume you removing the titles from

wp-content/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums

and renaming as per

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/ section 3

then

wp-content/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum

has the content that you’ll want to take out

[feb992]

hello, I am using bbpress in my theme, I have diferents page themeplates, full-width, left-widget-colum…

when I load the bbpress forum in a page, i select the full-width, and it works fine, but, when click in a sub-forum, it load the default page themplate (“left-widget-colum”)

This is the link of the page wher the forum is:

Complete User Integration

This load in full width

and when I click in the subforum, it redirect to:
http://s454230239.mialojamiento.es/rideanddrift/?forum=test

And this width the widget bar

How can I modify this?

Thanks

[thecatholicwoman]

I am not sure if this helps but when I select bbpress forum index template from the side menu for page templates it does not allow me to put in the side bar and runs full width but the text and coloring matches my theme. When I do it with the page builder in the divi theme and I use the [bbp-forum-index] short code in a text box element and then add a sidebar element on the side, I get the side bar but the forum does not match the theme because I have to use the default template. So it is almost like it is not pulling from the coding in the style.css at all so it may make sense that my altering that file does not change it.

I was able to locate bbp_single_user_details_avatar_size in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php which eventually lead me to the following function that accomplishes what I needed (resizing the avatar):

function my_bbp_change_avatar_size($author_avatar, $topic_id, $size) {
    $author_avatar = '';
    if ($size == 14) {
        $size = 24;
    }
    if ($size == 80) {
        $size = 110;
    }
    $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
    if ( !empty( $topic_id ) ) {
        if ( !bbp_is_topic_anonymous( $topic_id ) ) {
            $author_avatar = get_avatar( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ), $size );
        } else {
            $author_avatar = get_avatar( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email', true ), $size );
        }
    }
    return $author_avatar;
}

/* Add priority (default=10) and number of arguments */
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_author_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_current_user_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);

Increase avatar size in bbpress

I narrowed it down to a conflict in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js. When i move this file or deactivate the editor toolbar in the bbpress settings, the gallerys work again.

Forum import – The documentation states that stickies will not be imported, however I after doing the import I have around 20 ‘super-stickies’ which, looking at the old forum, are a mixture of announcements and stickies. I’d rather these weren’t converted to anything, and as far as I’m aware they shouldn’t be (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2126)

The above ticket you reference was the ‘issue’ being created to track the changes and progress of implementing this feature.

In comment 12 that is where the ticket was to updated to ‘fixed’ and ‘closed’ via changeset r5170. Trac can be a little daunting at first trying to understand everything that goes on in a ticket 😉

With only your ~20 ‘stcikies’ it shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes to ‘unstick’ the ones you do not want after your import has finished and the repair tools run.

I have updated the docs to reflect that also https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb/

Stickies – is there a way to ignore stickies during the import? They don’t appear to have come through correctly so it would be nice to simply ignore them (as was previously the case).

How so, could you explaing that a little more please? Do the topics ‘look right’ and are just not ‘stuck’ or something else going on?

User import – During the import, I (the main WordPress admin user) seem to have had quite a lot of forums, topics and replies linked to my user. I wasn’t a user on the previous phpBB forum at all so I’m not sure why I’ve adopted these posts. Or any posts for that matter.

If there is a username match the importer will try to match the posts being imported with any current WordPress user, thus if phpBB has a user named ‘admin’ and you use the default the default WordPress username ‘admin’ that will be the cause.

The best work around for this would be to rename the phpBB username in the database bvefore importing.

Users – looking at the phpbb data, the amount of imported users seemed to match up, but I wonder if I’ve been assigned posts that were previously changed to the ‘Anonymous User’ that phpBB has at user ID 0… the amount of posts don’t seem to match up with that theory but a ‘majority’ of the posts that have been assigned to me seem to match the logic to an extent (ie, posts that have been moved into a ‘moderators only’ forum for further discussion about actions to be taken).

You should notice that you now actually have a WordPress username ‘Anonymous’, so any ‘Anonymous’ posts should be attributed to that user.

Your ‘moderators only’ forum after import you should change the bbPress forum permission to ‘hidden’ and that will make that forum the equiv bbPress ‘moderators only’ forum.

Repair tools – All the repair tasks seem to work ok, except for two:
– Recalculate the position of each reply
– Remap existing users to default forum roles
These two tasks end up white-screening with no status messages at all.

What size is the phpBB database your importing? (Approx. Forums, Topics, Posts & Users please 🙂 )

User Login Conversion – User logins are converted correctly when using the standard wordpress login screen but now when using my custom frontend ajax login – does anyone know if there’s a way to get that to work? A seperate topic has been started about that here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-login-authentication-migrated-phpbb-users/

I’ve pretty much still got the same opinion as I wrote last night here.

User Login – that’s correct – I’m just using the wp-signon method so I guess I’ll need to add some kind of do_action() call or something to trigger the conversion? If you can point me in the right direction, that would be great 🙂

There is nothing to point you to sorry, when a user logs in for the first time after the import their legacy salt and hash password get’s converted to the native WordPress password format. Without knowing each legacy password their is no way to do this programmatically.

bbPress’ login forms actually are hooked into the WordPress login forms, so theoretically it shouldn’t be too difficult for either the plugin you are using to add support for bbPress or possibly look for another similar plugin that already supports bbPress.

Passwords and all their associated algorithms are hard and this an area where I just manage to skate by with the basics, actually doing any of what I mentioned in the previous paragraph is way beyond my skill level and pay grade 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

@fasttimes Do you have any custom phpBB custom mods installed that may change some things in the phpBB database? I just tested my phpBB imports and they all worked fine, no errors for ‘reply_to parents’. In fact phpBB does not have ‘threaded replies’ included by default thus the reason I ask.

[dzung]

@leonyipa, thanks for that but I’ve done it already. “in bbPress setting, the default role is “Participant” I meant I set the auto default role to be Participant.

So here are steps that I do:
– In stall, WP and Go to Dashboard-Setting-General – Set New User Default Role to “Subcriber”
– Install bbPress, go to Dashboard – Setting – Forums – Check the option for Auto Role and set it to “Participant”
– On front end- I create an account for test!

– In Dashboard – Users List: The Forum Role of the newly created user is “Participant” – The Site Role value is “Participant” which I expect should be “Subcriber”.

If I un-check/disable the Auto Role in bbPress setting, then when someone create an account the Site Role value of that user would be “none” and the value for Forum Role would still be “Participant” – I don’t know what wrong!

[dzung]

Hi,

I have a site with bbPress intalled. I have set the New User Default role in Setting/General to a Custom Role that I made. in bbPress setting, the default role is “Participant”.

The issue is when a new user created their Site role auto set to “Participant”. does anyone know, how to fix this so that new user will have site role as the value set in Setting/General?

[Robin W]

probably a theme or plugin problem

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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

wordpress is post software and has posts and comments

bbpress is forum software, so it has forums, topics and replies

so people will reply to topics, not comment on them !

so I would

1. deactivate buddypress
2. switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve and see if people can now reply to topics, you are only doing this to see if your theme has an issue with replies.
3. let us know whether you are allowing anonymous posting, or whether you onlt want topics/replies from registered users?

Also, how do I just let people see the topics and not the forum?

umm, not sure what you mean, either you have a forum or your have posts and comments, you can’t have forum topics with post comments 🙂
