My wp theme is Luminescence Lite. Bbpress is default.

[Lynqoid]

If I ever get any issues like this then here is what I do in this order:

1. Go to settings > forums and then recalculate permissions
2. Go to the permalinks page
3. Start disabling plugins one by one to see if there is a plugin conflict
4. Disable my theme and activate a default theme (this is for front end issues).

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how I can add a user to participate in the bbpress forums, but not allow them access to sign on to my wp-admin panel. When the registration email is sent out, it includes in the default message the sitename/wp-admin for them to sign on. I don’t want my forum users to get routed there, but want them to just be sent back to the forum sign on page internally.

Any help? Am I missing something simple?

Ok so I’m using buddypress, and as I understand it subscribers to my website have the comments, buddypress, and bbpress all connected. So if you upload a avatar for one it’ll be used for all. As I understand it being on wordpress for a month.

Is there a (simple noob) way or plugin to get options on avatar sizes? And somehow get it to work for buddypress, bbpress, and comments. Or at least bbpress.

In other words if users upload a square avatar it’ll be square in the comments, buddypress profile, and bbpress since they’re all connected. Or if they upload a long rectangular one it’ll be long and rectangular everywhere also. I can settle for square in the comments but I really want long ones in buddy and bbpress.

Or would I have to change the code in buddypress, and in bbpress, and somehow for the comments as I think I do. If thats the case I only ask for help with the bbpress since this is bbpress support.

I know how to change the avatar size in buddypress from this article (though I haven’t tried it yet, I like to gather information then potentially ruin my site afterwards). http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-change-the-default-buddypress-avatar-sizes/

Problem is I’m not sure if the cropping will still work if I change from square to rectangle as the cropping seems to only work in squares. So I found this article to deal with the cropping. http://offthewallmedia.com/programming/buddypress-crop-avatar-to-any-ratio Though I haven’t tested it yet.

So I just wanted to ask before I mess something up if there is a better way to accomplish all this or if there was a plugin or anything and if I change all these settings in buddypress would it be the same for bbpress andor the comments. Thanks for any help.

The creator/developer of bbPress or the Mods, can not help in translations, they just have to trust anybody whom submits a translation.

Kind of correct, all the translations are handled by the same translation process for WordPress

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

Using pt_BR as an example if you take a look at: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev

You will see that Portuguese (Brazil) is at 94% translated, 975 strings translated and 60 strings untranslated.

@tvieira If you open this link it shows you the 60 strings that have yet to be translated for bbPress. You can update these strings yourself and then contact the Brazilian translator team via one of these links to get these translations approved. Once approved they should then become available via WordPress’ automatic updates in the very near future.

[s1r0n]

no, i mean the default loaded for people who don’t have a gravatar. the one that is assigned by bbpress. I know how to change my gravatar

[s1r0n]

Hi all. is there some way for me to change the default gravatar image (mystery man) to something CUSTOM (i.e. that I made). There must be a way. i don’t like the generic image and i don’t want to usee one of the other gravatar images

[Lynqoid]

If you want to make the tickbox ticked by default you could use a small bit of jQuery

jQuery("#checkbox").prop('checked', true);

Then just include it in the admin or frontend – where ever you need it.

[jreeve]

I’m trying to make this checkbox checked by default: Create a Group -> 4. Forum -> Group Forum -> “Yes. I want this Group to have a forum.”

I found the code that handles this at /plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php, a function called create_screen. I’d like to customize this function, so I copied the function to a plugin script. I figure I have to do something like

remove_action(‘whereever_the_hook_for_the_group_creation_thing_is’, ‘create_screen’);
add_action( ‘whereever_the_hook_for_the_group_creation_thing_is’, ‘create_screen’ );

to get my custom version to replace the stock version, but I don’t know where the hook is or how to go about finding it.

The dialog in bbPress for inserting a link into a post by default shows a search box and a list of existing content on the site.

I am using WooCommerce on the same WordPress installation as bbPress. The problem is that WooCommerce coupons use Pages. This means all of my coupons (often ones that are created for specific people or specific purposes) can be publicly displayed in this list.

I’ve edited my css to display: none; this section, but I’m not satisfied with this solution as it is still possible for someone to change the css and view these pages.

Is there a way I can disable this feature? How might I go about modifying the code to remove it?

[ronthai]

Nevermind, I found the problem. I remembered I did this before:

I have a statistics plugin that uses the server time instead of the WP timezone settings.

Therefore I added <?php date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Bangkok'); ?> to the plugins php and that was in the sidebar always present.

Now I removed it the Edit Allowed Time works correct.

I have recently installed BBPress into my WordPress theme, and have been having a few problems with spam registrations. Basically people are creating accounts, and in their profile text the are adding links to external sites. I would like “nofollow” to be added to these links by default, though nothing I have found on this forum has worked. I have added various things to my functions.php file as instructed by people here – none have worked. Can anyone help with this?

This something we could look at implementing into the core of bbPress, could you create a ticket in Trac for this and we can take a closer look at the issue.

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org (Use the same wordpress.org/bbpress.org username and password)

I would also like to hide the “/members” page form being publicly accessible – is this possible?

This part is BuddyPress 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

You currently cannot set this to be the default, the forum administrator needs to set these permissions when creating the forum.

[Stephen Edgar]

Try running the ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ repair tool.

https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

It also looks like you are using another plugin to control access to bbPress forums.

What is this plugin and does it work with bbPress’ roles?

[Stephen Edgar]

That said one of the strings ‘You must be logged in to create new topics’ IS translated here so it might be the case of updating your translations.

Details to update your translations are here https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

I would also look at the 115 of 1034 strings yet to be translated looking at the details here and get those translated and then contact your local Hebrew translation team via https://he.wordpress.org/contact/ to get the strings approved.

I’m using the latest bbPress. I’m not sure, but I think this started after the last update.

Does everything work fine with a default WordPress theme? (If so we can narrow it done to a theme issue and not some other issue).

[JohnF]

I have a similar problem. The forums just don’t appear, although the rest of the site (pages) open fine. I’m using Atahualpa theme, which is way better than the default themes so I can’t consider changing theme. What’s the answer?

[robgranholm]

I’m using the Pagelines theme [before DMS] and they have a selector at the bottom of each page or post that you can select to make the page full width.

On forum pages, and individual threads, this option isn’t available. I know I can create a bbpress.php template which bbPress will look for, but I’m not sure how to deconstruct my theme, or set it up to be my default page, but minus the sidebar.

Help here would be much appreciated.

My page.php code doesn’t give me much indication as to how to craft this…

<?php
/**
 * PAGE
 *
 * This file meets the WordPress template requirements for 'page.php'
 *
 * @package     PageLines Framework

Seems like this feature is being delayed… delayed… delayed every version in your TRAC.
Personally I think this “view” should be the default one to adhere with what people expect when coming from any kind of other forum softwares (which also makes more sense to me regarding the visual organization of a forum).

Also the “per forum permission group” thing is a must in the core of any forum IMHO. There is no way to manage big forums like mine without it, where we have mod groups coordinating different sections/aspects of the site.

But again this is just my personal opinion.

[Rachel Biel]

Help! I’ve been at this for hours and am going out of my mind…

I have the latest of everything, bbpress, buddypress and have deactivated all plugins except for buddypress, bbpress, members and akismet. I actually even deleted and reinstalled buddypress, bbpress and members. I deactivated my theme and am using the default buddypress one.

The site is visually a mess: http://www.tafaforum.com/

I am the only one who can post on the forums. Everything was fine until yesterday when several plugins updated, including bbpress. I had also been mucking around with trying to get a tinymce plugin to work for the forums.

If I disable everything and just have bbpress, I can post (as a fake member). Add buddypress, and I get a “You cannot reply to this topic” message at the bottom.

I messed around with roles and have enabled everything possible that could contribute to this, but the one thing that I notice is that the members all have an author role for their wordpress roles (as I want them to post on our blog), and even though they all show participant for their forum roles on the Users Page, when I go into the settings for the roles, I only see the author role as having any users, not the participant one.

Yes, this could be a buddypress or members issue, but bbpress is the one that had the latest update, so I figure that the problem starts here. If not, please send me where I need to go….

All widgets (even if you use the same more then once) can be individually edited how they look.
From colors, headers, font type/size/color/shadow, widget background color/image,
you name it, it can be done, WITHOUT editing any core files.

How? Just use css.
For the ladies question, assuming she uses the bbPress “Recent Topics” widget, just add the following to the bbPress main ccs file (bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css):

.widget_display_topics .bbp-author-avatar { display: none ! important; }
This will remove the little avatar and leave it with:
topic title by posters name

You can find any widgets “css class or id (id can be used if the same widget is used more then once)” by viewing the source code of your page or using FireBug (firefox or chrome browsers, just get rid of IE all together)

You should also follow this, to avoid any updates from changing your edits:
You should have all your customizations as per this document
