I tried using a handful of different plugins to change the default avatar. However whenever someone changes thier avatar the “mystery man” icon is still showing in the bbPress profile. What plugin are people using to do custom avatars with bbPress? Is there one that will allow people to choose from a couple different default avatars?

Copy bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php into a bbpress folder in your theme, and in that copy remove from:

` if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) : `

and
` endif; `

Thank you for your speedy reply.

This is working great for adding additional information.

But how can i edit what is already displayed in that field by default? IE; totally remove the author role and even author name so i can display custom links there.

you may have already touched on this in my other thread, i will need to re-read it more carefully.

I’ve restricted access to /wp-admin using .htaccess file within the /wp-admin directory.
I have a forum with BuddyPress + bbPress installed.
All forum users receive the default subscriber/participant roles upon registration.
Visitors not logged on are free to roam the forum (no posting though).

But logged-in users are asked for the username/password that is set for site admin (for /wp-admin, specifically) immediately after accessing a forum or a topic.

How can I stop WP asking regular forum users for username/password set for /wp-admin?

I can provide url to site, a test user credentials and the content of .htaccess file.
Thank you.
T.

I have two recent installations of BP. The first one is http://www.mancaveland.com and it is my main domain account with hostmonster. The second is http://www.hollisterwatch.com and it is an addon to the account. The first one has all of the options like keymaster, member etc. The second is missing these options all together. Is this a known issue?

Thanks,

Brian

I’ve the same problem. Solved it by replacing the_title() with bbp_forum_title() on my theme’s page template – but that’s not a real solution, because the problem is in all tested themes (bp-default, twentytwelve) and needs some conditions to use it only with bbpress forums.

[eddiemoto]

On an interesting side note, I added the short code for the index and it seems to work. Is this the proper way or did it just work because it was a shortcode.

(Worked for the default theme, not Canvas. Canvas just displays some non-formatted HTML)

I created a user-profile.php file in my theme so I could customize its appearance. I want to add a link to the author’s blog posts, but am getting stuck on the loop part. When I tried the standard default wordpress loop – it looped the entire profile itself.

Here is the code I am working with:
http://pastebin.com/LAnd9hRn

With the current code, I get a 404 not found error.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas you might have to try!

[Jared Atchison]

Hmm so you have the auto role setting checked?

If that’s checked and you have tried it with all plugins disabled, well that really doesn’t leave a lot of margin for error.

[Jared Atchison]

You can’t really.

You’ll either want to tweak your theme’s CSS so it doesn’t conflict or (and probably the way I would go) create a copy of the bbPress CSS and tweak it as needed.

Copy: `wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css` to: `wp-content/themes/[YOUR-THEME]/css/bbpress.css` and make changes as needed.

My dev site is http://fishwire.rudtek.com. I’m running wordpress 3.5 and have buddypress 1.7 b2 and bbpress 2.3-rc1.

New users can’t seem to signup to the forums. The site lets them register, and sends them the activation email. When it’s clicked it says they are activated, but they can’t login.

The users are being created on the back end but they are not being assigned a default forum role. I have the box checked that says that it should be doing so, but it’s not working.

I have tried with all plugins but bbpress and buddypress disabled and I have tried with and without the default buddypress theme.

Any suggestions? THANKS!

Try running the ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ repair tool
/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair

Are you using any other plugins to manage WordPress/bbPress users?

[Nazaire]

I’m wanting to edit the css of bbPress to tweak the appearance of my forums, specifically the font size. I’m running WordPress 3.5.1, bbPress 2.2.4, and using a twentytwelve-child theme. My forums are at

http://www.asgoth.net/?post_type=forum

I found the “bbPress Custom CSS File” plug-in but according to the description I do not need it.

** This plugin is for bbPress 2.1.x. If you are using bbPress 2.0.x please upgrade. If you are using bbPress 2.2, read below.**

bbPress 2.2+: As of bbPress 2.2 this plugin is NOT needed. bbPress will auto-detect the CSS file if it exists in the right location.

Copy the CSS file from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-default/css/bbpress.css to wp-content/themes/[yourtheme]/bbpress.css.

Following the instructions above I have copied the bbpress.css file from the bbpress plugin’s css folder to “wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child/bbpress.css”. When I go into the WordPress dashboard under appearance-edit the bbpress.css is available for editing.

So assuming I have the bbpress.css file in the right place (if I don’t please instruct me where I need to put it for editing), which line of code in the bbpress.css file do I need to edit to change the font size on my forums.

Any assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ah wait — nope, just a trick of the eye.

It seems changing the permalink structure gave me two similar looking addresses:

website.com/forum (a page I made using the shortcode into the top page of the forums)
website.com/forums (the default top page, linked in the breadcrumbs and unable to be altered)

So the problem persists, just with a different name :/

[fencer_x]

Huh.

It seems I solved the problem without meaning to.

I changed my permalink structure from the default (to one which uses the page title), and the problem solved itself! The breadcrumbs now link to the proper title page, yay!

[clickmac]

bbPress is made to integrate with wordpress smoothly, the default template for bbpress forums is your themes own, for every page,category etc. If you change the default layout for your theme, then the template for bbpress would change
and what is the link to your site?

I have a 404 problem with pagination on topics archive pages, for both admins and non-admins. The first page display correctly, but get a 404 errors on subsequent pages:

`
/topics/page/2
/topics/page/3
`

I am using a custom `archive-topic.php` on my theme and using the following plugins on WordPress 3.5.1:

bbPress 2.2.4
BuddyPress 1.7-beta2
User Switching 0.7.1
WordPress Post Type Archive Links 1.1
WordPress SEO 1.4.4

I have disabled all plugins and switched the theme to TwentyTen with flushing rewrite rules on every steps with no success. I have also changed the permalink structure to default `?post_type=topic&paged=2` and still not working.

On my attempt to debug `$wp_query`, at the `pre_get_posts` action hook, everything looks OK:
`
[query] => Array
(
[paged] => 2
[post_type] => topic
)
…
[is_archive] => 1
…
[is_404] =>
`
However at `template_redirect` action, query looks like:
`
[query] => Array
(
[paged] => 2
[post_type] => topic
)
…
[is_archive] =>
…
[is_404] => 1
`

I only tried that with topics pagination, not forums or replies.

Thanks.

I don’t really know what this issue is called. I created several forums here and, for some odd reason, when I generate a new forum, it gives me a permalink with the name of the forum plus a number, like so: http://www.happynakedpeople.co/forums/forum/leaflet-2/. There is no other forum named Leaflet and I would like the permalink to be as clean as possible. When I try to change the permalink to just `/leaflet/` it defaults back to `/leaflet-2/`. Why is this?

I am using WordPress 3.5.1, bbPress 2.2.4, and my theme is built around Starkers 4.0.

[maggieymae]

Sorry- I didn’t see your reply earlier
Yes the BBpress widgets work nicely.
The issue is that I want to decide which widget shows on which page.
I have tried numerous widgets and when the forum pages show, they are all messed up. They fill in with the forums only all scrunched together.

I’ve als tried putting the shortcode in a page and that has helped when assigning widgets except for when on the “forums” part of the breadcrumb after entering a board. It goes crazy.
sitename/forums/etc

I found one custom widget plugin that makes a widget “drag and drop” page in the editor for each page and post editor area but the person that will be using this will have a difficult time using it. When using that plugin if I make all the forum widgets to be the default setup and just add/subtract widgets per page – it won’t show the craziness.

I don’t think I can describe this any better. It just looks like craziness and it isn’t in the forum widgets… The forum contents fill up any available widget on the sidebar even if the widget isn’t “assigned” to the forum and it is only when following the breadcrumbs AFTER being in a board.

Sorry for people that waiting, passed 7+ days from approved but theme is still waiting for WordPress.Org publish.  Its probably my fault that i released some newer versions before it gets published. I cant give a date but at least theme will be in WordPress.Org soon.

Meanwhile you can check my example child-theme: http://theme.firmasite.com/example.zip
This theme;

• adds Flatstrap custom style to theme style list
• selects it automatically
• removing default default bootstrap style from list.

You can edit this child-theme however you want 🙂

[archivedb]

Because right now I’m editing files at /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress and I know it’s wrong and I will lose everything on update.

I’ve crated a child theme of my own theme (do I really have to do that? can’t I just create a dictionary within my own theme?), activated it, copied all bbpress theme files to this child theme, but I’m not sure how to “link” them to bbpress? Because after everything bbpress was still using theme files from /plugins/ dictionary…

Anyone?

Thanks a lot, and sorry for this stupid question, but bbpress documentation is really confusing, I’d love to understand bbpress more so I could help others though.

[fencer_x]

When I installed BBPress on a new site, I noticed that the default forum page (/?post_type=forum) gave me a strange title at the top of the browser (“Archive | ##:## [time]”) as if it were being dynamically generated every time I refreshed the page–and the sidebar widgets were my generic ‘page’ widgets and not the ones I’d explicitly set for the Forum/Reply/Topic pages from the Admin panel (the Reply/Topic pages display just fine; it’s only the base Forum page that’s giving an issue).

I thought I’d solved this problem by making the ‘Forum’ link in my header menu link to a generic page I made that I slapped the bbpress forum shortcode onto–and all looked well–but now in the breadcrumbs, if I click ‘Forum’ from a reply or topic page, I’m sent back to “/?post_type=forum” and left with the same issues.

Any idea what’s going on or how to resolve it? Why isn’t the Forum page accepting the sidebar widget I’ve assigned it, and why is it giving me a dynamically generated, non-helpful title?

[Oazar]

Hello again !

i have a second problem I don’t know how to tackle :

the forum installed itself in a page with sidebar, I believe this the default page template of my theme, or the post template.
I need to get rid of the sidebar on the forum page.
Any idea how I can do this ?

thanks

Hello,

I am trying to modify the default bbPress theme and it is driving me crazy. What’s the best way to figure out which specific file a need to edit to add or remove code?

Thank you!

[SUM1]

By the way for some strange reason the topics display fine in Internet Explorer and Chrome, just not in Firefox (my default browser).
