Also to note, until bbPress 2.5 pt_BR is 100% translated the only translations delivered via WordPress Update will be bbPress 2.4, language packs are only built once they are complete at 100%

This link shows the bbPress language packs available:
https://api.wordpress.org/translations/plugins/1.0/?slug=bbpress&version=2.5

These need to be translated to 100% to get these via WordPress Update
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default

If you can help translate those strings then you’ll get bbPress 2.5 translations, you can also get in contact with your locale team via https://br.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

A year or two ago we had lots of translation issues with bbPress, to fix this I got en_AU (English Australian) of the ground and translated all the things, WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress and help out on the #polyglots team https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

The string I translated to test was the Pending string replaced with stickfinger for en_AU:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/en-au/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=196793&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=9251229

I then downloaded the .po and .mo files (at the bottom of that screen you can export these) and replaced my en_AU bbpress-en_AU.mo/bbpress-en_AU.po files in /wp-content/languages/plugins

What happens if you export the .po/.mo files from /bbpress/2.5.x/pt-br/default?

Also make sure your files are named bbpress-pt_BR.mo and bbpress-pt_BR.po

[stickFinger]

Hi Stephen

Thanks for your input here.:-)

I guess i did not understand you very well 🙁
You telling that in the en_US.po file it works, am i correct?

I´ve just download a fresh copy of the po file at: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/pt-br/default

and that is the header:

I´ve read something regarding this issue also on buddypress foruns. It seems that the strings after the “_x(….” caracter is the problem on some languages.

Maybe the URL of the registration page can be used as the URI.

Yes use that page you created with the bbPress registration form shortcode. You can also use the default WordPress registration page which would be.

http://yoursite.com/open/wp-login.php?action=register

Same for the Lost Password page, you can use the page you placed the bbPress lost password shortcode or the default lost password form by WordPress.

[Stephen Edgar]

What happens if you resave your permalinks? Go to Settings > Permalinks

A more common and now default of WordPress is to use the Post name format, also known as pretty permalinks, as such the following would be what you’d see for the “maine” forum

This can happen also in some default themes like Twenty Fifteen (should work in Twenty Twelve though), but can also be easily fixed by placing the bbPress template files into a child theme.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

I tried copying my ‘css’ and ‘bbpress’ directories from my template files to my theme as outlined in your link, however it changed nothing.

Do profiles show up without BuddyPress?

Not quite sure what you mean…. if you mean can I see a user profile with bbpress deactivated then the answer is no.

Also, the link to the ‘Edit Profile’ button is exactly what I needed, however it currently returns to 404 because of the previous unresolved issue.

[Robkk]

Is there STILL no way to do this? I have anonymous posting allowed, but can’t eliminate the email box. I don’t want bbpress collecting email addresses.

By default the email address is still required for anonymous posting.

You might need to hire a developer to create this functionality for you.

[Robkk]

1. Users are set to be able to edit their posts/replies, and the Edit button does show up, however when they click on Edit it simply goes to 404. Admins also cannot edit via the Edit button without 404.

2. User profiles are not showing up. Upon clicking on an avatar or manually typing in the profile url (with my username) it returns 404.

Do profiles show up without BuddyPress?

(I also need to figure out how to put an ‘Edit Profile’ button somewhere, but that won’t matter if I can’t fix these other two issues)

Works for bbPress profiles though, I might update it for BuddyPress later.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[PinkishHue]

Hmm that’s a stinker.

What URL are you actually taken to when you get the 404 message, is the URL right? I believe it should be – ‘my-post-title/edit’

Have you tried disabling all other plugins AND using the default theme at same time? (difficult if the site is live of course)

If it’s not on a live site maybe try a fresh bbpress install? Also there are some repair tools in the settings you can try (I haven’t had experience using these but it’s worth a try)

[beherawr]

Installed bbpress through wordpress and everything is going great except for two problems.

1. Users are set to be able to edit their posts/replies, and the Edit button does show up, however when they click on Edit it simply goes to 404. Admins also cannot edit via the Edit button without 404.

2. User profiles are not showing up. Upon clicking on an avatar or manually typing in the profile url (with my username) it returns 404. (I also need to figure out how to put an ‘Edit Profile’ button somewhere, but that won’t matter if I can’t fix these other two issues)

What I’ve already done:
-Switched to a default theme, didn’t change anything, switched back to Gameplanet theme
-Disabled all plugins except bbpress, problem persisted
-Changed permalink type to something else and then back again, problem persisted

I would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered as I really need this working by next week. If it’s something that involves an in-depth look I’d even be willing to pay someone to help, although I fear it’s probably a simple problem that I’m just overlooking.

The ‘something happened’ is unfortunately the key to this.

Users will have a role, and the default roles are stated in

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

so as long as a user has the right level, then the default will tell you what they should have.

But an plugin, or change to functions code can change the default roles, so without pouring over the code, it is impossible to say whether a user has a particular level beyond seeing what they can do.

So you’ll need to come back to ‘something happened’ to wpork out wthat that was and why it affected.

So have you done

theme updates
plugin updates
changed themes
added or deactivated plugins

[PascalKroeze]

Hi guys,

In the passed I created a website with bbpress.
The default bbpress theme was horrible bad readable.
So I found a way to change the theme so it would match my wordpress theme.
After update the theme got reset to the default bbpress theme again.

Now I have created a new wordpress website.
I stumble at the same problem again.

Is there something simple how I can change the bbpress theme (user friendly)
I have been reading forums and this is really giving me an headache, all solution are based on editing files, creating child theme ccs files etc etc, all complicated stuff.

There must be something user friendly to change the default bbpress theme right?
Is does not have to match my wordpress theme, if I can just select something different that would be great.

Friendly regards,

Pascal

@lucylu4000

You can add a custom link to your forums in the menus section.

it should be yoursite.com/forums by default.

[Robkk]

Usually when you have BuddyPress installed the Extended Profiles component is activated by default, bbPress forum user profiles links use the BuddyPress extended profiles.

You can see if copying the BuddyPress templates into your child theme would fix things.

Theme Compatibility

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

[Robkk]

if you have the pro version they give you an editor for the bbcode/shortcode buttons.

If you are messing with the bbPress default quicktags you can change the buttons output display to bbcode/shortcodes instead of html.

If you look at this you can see that it says you can copy the Javsacript from bbPress to your custom child theme.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

So you can copy the editor.js file from bbPress and created custom buttons for your bbPress installation from there. You can see an example to change the output of the code button to just use quote marks.

/* Use backticks instead of <code> for the Code button in the editor */
	if ( typeof( edButtons ) !== 'undefined' ) {
		edButtons[110] = new QTags.TagButton( 'code', 'code', '<code>', '</code>', 'c' );
		QTags._buttonsInit();
	}

This will I think use the bold, italics , and lists format that they use in the plugin.

/* Use some bbcode outputs for the quicktags editor in bbPress */
	if ( typeof( edButtons ) !== 'undefined' ) {
		edButtons[10] = new QTags.TagButton( 'strong', 'b', '[b]', '[/b]', 'b' );
		edButtons[20] = new QTags.TagButton( 'em', 'i', '[i]', '[/i]', 'i' );
		edButtons[80] = new QTags.TagButton( 'ul', 'ul', '[ul]', '[/ul]', 'u' );
		edButtons[90] = new QTags.TagButton( 'ol', 'ol', '[ol]', '[/ol]', 'o' );
		edButtons[100] = new QTags.TagButton( 'li', 'li', '[li]', '[/li]', 'l' );
		QTags._buttonsInit();
	}

Hi Stephen! Thanks for all of your volunteer work on this, I greatly appreciate it. 🙂

Just a few questions, and I did do a few days of research (with no luck) before asking.

1.) Any plans to support importing of private messages? I plan to use BuddpyPress + bbPress, so the feature will be covered. What are the chances of adding another checkbox to “optional settings” that says “Attempt to import private messages to BuddyPress”

2.) I have noticed that my existing SMF database had a handful of deleted accounts, so my settings left those posts behind as “Guest” posts (and it displayed the deleted user’s old username). In WordPress + bbPress, I created the original admin/keymaster user in my fresh install. After doing the SMF to bbPress import, the “Guest” posts from the deleted account are automatically assigned to the existing admin/keymaster user that I created in WordPress. Is there a cleaner way to handle this default behavior? Do these posts from deleted accounts require being assigned to an account? If not, could I somehow mass re-attribute these posts to a different account?

[mtupuschies]

Hi,
try the following:

1. In your themes folder create a new folder called “bbpress”
2. Then go to: ../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras
3. Copy all these files into the folder you created in step one.
4. Edit the files in ../wp-content/themes/marketica/bbpress:

Every file in there has the line (close to the bottom):
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
Change this to:
<?php /*get_sidebar();*/ ?>

This should completely hide the sidebar. Otherwise maybe contact the author of the theme. Maybe the theme already contains forum template which may overwrite the bbpress originals.

Hope I could help!

[Robkk]

I have found a way to hide most notices by CSS. Question is, can I keep it that way, or will there be any important notices not showing up later when the user is interacting with the form:

Well that is the thing , I would have to know what is important to you. The notice that shows when a users post is in moderation might be useful so that they know the moderator has to approve their post , but that will not be in til 2.6 of bbPress. Some plugins might hook into that , and some notices might be for post flooding and maybe some users might think their is a bug on your site if they do not know why they couldn’t post.

The Topic/Forum descriptions could also be removed with some PHP using this function and you can place it in a plugin like this.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/

It should be Plugins > Edit Functions. You can place any code snippet you might see useful into this.

You can place the snippet after the plugin information.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

function ja_return_blank() {

    return '';

}

The users plugin you suggest is from 2 years ago; I would not install that. I am told again and again by my hoster and main plugin providers that old plugins are one of the greatest vulnerabilities.

It should be fine , it is a fairly small plugin and very well coded.

You can see the plugins main code functionality in the link below. There is also an empty languages folder and a readme.txt file also in the plugin.

https://gist.github.com/jaredatch/3868274

And then I had to turn off the buttons for html because they are badly formatted, barely legible in white text on light-grey background.

You can fix that with some CSS too. Here is a simple black background to fix it.

#bbpress-forums #qt_bbp_reply_content_toolbar input,
#bbpress-forums #qt_bbp_topic_content_toolbar input {
  background-color: #000;
}

I also would like to offer my clients a possibility to create a profile page with some background on themselves and the business project they are working on.

There is a bunch of plugins that add custom fields like BuddyPress some premium plugins add social features too , just like BuddyPress. The thing I am guessing you want is to highlight it on the Home of the users profile page with the forum role and user stats. This would require some PHP coding to achieve. By default the user can add a description and it would show up on the front-end , nothing too crazy.

[Nuchaz]

I guess I jumped the gun on asking for help on this. A little more digging and I found my answer. I found a way to automatically load my default style sheet in place of the tiny mce style sheet and this basically automatically styled the editor to look like everything else.
Just had to add this to my functions.php:

if ( ! function_exists('tdav_css') ) 
{
    function tdav_css($wp) 
    {
        $wp .= ',' . get_bloginfo('stylesheet_url');
	return $wp;
    }
}

[Robin W]

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-topic-created.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/user-topic-created.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Then modify or overwrite woth your modified file

[Robkk]

I don’t think some themes do this by default , this site has something custom for that.

[Robkk]

The ugly one is the default bbPress layout. Since I do not know how you go the other links below that I can suggest maybe hiding one of them with CSS.

[Robkk]

The “css” directory contains style sheets that work with the default markup. Copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/css/

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Robkk]

bbPress does not have an area to upload avatars it mostly relies on Gravatar by default. You are probably using BuddyPress , if you are contact BuddyPress support.
