I can confirm your widget issue. I’ve created at ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3123.

You can follow the progress there.

I successfully managed to post messages into the forum by including WordPress in my php script and calling bbp_insert_topic.
However, it seems like when I call bbp_insert_reply bbPress actually inserts a topic parented to another topic and these appear like replies in the site itself.
Tried repairing the forums and it didn’t work.
Any idea why?

[Papat0k]

That’s a good suggestion. I’ll look into it. Thanks. In the interim I’ve been changing “post_type” to “post” and using bbP Move Topics to migrate one chunk of topics at a time. It’s not a “clean” way of doing things, but it’s solved the issue for now.

Thanks for the reply Robin…
Sorry my PHP knowledge is near-zero.
Are the three fixes you specify alternatives? (i.e. do one, not all of them?)
Can you say if BBPress will realign with WordPress core PHP requirements within 2 months?

Thanks

I see, to make the font on the sub-forums larger you can use:

.bbp-forums-list .bbp-forum a {
font-size: 18px;
}

Also if you want an easier way to alter sizes and styles etc. you could try Robin’s handy plugin:

bbp style pack

I found a bug with bbPress RC3 and BuddyPress. Tested with a fresh install using WordPress 4.8, and with only bbPress 2.6 RC3 and BuddyPress 2.8.2 activated. On the activity page the drop down box has duplicates. I’m running PHP 7.0.

[christianbritto]

Hey Guys,

I have installed BBPress 2.6 RC3 because my host upgraded PHP version to 7.1.6. I’m using WordPress 4.7.5.

The problem is that I cannot create forums anymore. The “save” / “Update” Button disappeared from the page along with the editor options. As you can see here:

http://prntscr.com/foxoun

Please, can you help me?
Best regards

Hello,

I am using WordPress 4.8 and bbPress 2.6-beta-2.

I had to do a batch import of topics from csv, and all went well enough. The only aspect I was unable to cover was the parent forum field. I have found my parent forum id and used a mysql command to insert the forum ID (which is 290 in this case) into all rows where post_excerpt meets a condition. This all worked. For reference here is the mysql command:
update wp_posts set post_parent=’290′ where post_excerpt=’CONDITION’;

The issue I’m having is that although post_parent displays the correct parent forum ID within the database, on the frontend of my site none of these topics register as having a parent forum. Under “Topics” they still all say “No Forum,” and they are not listed on the forum page. Funny enough, the breadcrumbs show the correct path when looking at the individual topics (i.e., PARENT FORUM >> POST_TITLE).

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Just lost and regained forums on one of my sites. Host support wrote:

We had upgraded php to 7.1 earlier this week. It appears that BBPress may not currently be compatible with the latest PHP. We have rolled back to PHP 5.6 and the forums are working again. However, to make sure that all sites are working on the suggested standards set by the WordPress core team, we will be upgrading all instances to PHP 7.1 within the next two months. It is possible that BBPress may make updates improving the compatibility in that time, but it is never a bad idea to be proactive on that front.

So what’s the deal with BBPRess PHP version compatibility please?

try

bbPress Moderation

[Robin W]

No reason why it should not ‘work’ – try it

If you need styling try

bbp style pack

[spurtinfo]

Hi!

I want to integrate bbPress with my existing theme, but I’m worried about crash my theme by doing so. I don’t know if my theme is compatible with bbPress.

I have WordPress version 4.8

BBPress 2.5.12 WordPress 4.8

I’ve search high and low but haven’t been able to find any resolve to this. I’ve used different plugins to help with my problem but haven’t been able to get exactly what I want. I’ve made a screen-capture of what my problem is. Can someone with knowledge please tell me how to remove the html editor from showing below the visual editor? I want to see the html editor only when the text/html tab is clicked. It’s confusing with the html just below the visual editor like that. I’ve tried the display:none but it the html editor was also not showing when I clicked the text/html tab.

I first heard of WordPress only recently. Today, I heard about CSS for the first time. This must give people the ability to customize anything on their site.

1) I have a page that I set to be the Front page. So in the menu bar I can click Home or I can click the title of the page to load the page. Having Home in the menu bar makes sense but that means I don’t need the title of the page to be there too. How do I remove the page title so the only way to load the page is by clicking Home?

2) I have a link to a privacy policy in the menu bar. I heard one can put page links in the site’s footer. That makes sense. I want to do that. I found these instructions:
Create a new menu, “Footer Menu” for example
Add-in whatever links (pages) are needed there
Add a widget (called Custom Menu) to a footer widget position (if your current theme supports it)

I went to Customize and made a menu called Footer. I went to Appearance…Menu and added Privacy Policy to the Footer menu. I went to Appearance…Widgets and found Custom Menu. That’s as far as I got. How do I add custom menu to the “footer widget position”? Maybe my theme doesn’t support it. If I click Custom Menu, I see only “Right Sidebar” and “Add Widget”. If I go to my site, at the bottom I see “2017… Developed by Tamal Anwar”. Is that area at the bottom the footer?

Thanks.

@casiepa Hi again, I don’t see an option to send you a private message but wanted to let you know I installed the plugin (thanks), but I’ve noticed it has altered the display of my subforums (removed the topic and voice counts, and made the font larger), even though I have not checked that option in the plugin settings.

Here’s the info from the plugin if it’s any help.

WP version 4.8
Theme Make (child theme) 1.1.0
PHP version 5.6.30
bbPress version 2.5.12-6148
site url (removed, on localhost XAMPP)
Active Plugins Name and Version
– p1 bbP Toolkit 1.0.10
– p2 bbP shortcodes 2.8
– p3 bbPress 2.5.12
– p4 BuddyPress 2.8.2
– p5 User Switching 1.0.9
– p6 WordPress Social Login 2.3.3

[Stagger Lee]

Here it is.
You hijacked topic a bit.
I still dont understand why you use bbPress as Blog/Posts tool when WordPress is made for this. Almost as you are not so good on theming, and looking for shortcuts.

– Make own image size
– Change “slider” to name of own image size.
– There is a class to center image, give it maybe some gray background for smaller featured mages. fix margins and paddings, etc…

function ntwb_bbpress_random_single_topic() {
        global $post;
	    if ( has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) )
	    	echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,'slider',array('class' => 'forum-topic-featured'));
    }
// Hook into action
add_action('bbp_template_before_lead_topic','ntwb_bbpress_random_single_topic');

@coachhads, what version of bbPress/WordPress are you running ?

[Stephen Edgar]

Great idea, @tkserver you can sign up for the WordPress development Slack here:

https://chat.wordpress.org/

[Pascal Casier]

I never had a /users. It need to see how this behaves because I don’t want to open up information of users that might not be public yet.

And for slack, I was not referering to a slack team but just if you were already on wordpress.slack.com . Because it might be easier to discuss things 🙂

Hi. I’m new to WordPress. I’m creating a site and I wanted it to have a forum so I installed bbPress. There are 2 categories in the menu. Each of them contains forums. There’s 3 issues I have.
1) Under the text box for writing a comment, visitors to the site will see “Topic Type” and “Topic Status”, each with its own drop-down menu. I don’t want visitors to have access to those. I looked through all the forum settings and can’t find a way to get rid of them. How do I do it?

2) The font used for the menu is fine but the font used for the forum names is too small. Where do I increase the font size for forum names?

3) Is there something built in to the plugin that lets visitors rank or vote for posts? High-ranking posts would appear above other posts. Does the plugin have anything like this?

Thanks.

[coachhads]

Thank you Chad – My apologies I’m still having trouble locating the files. Is this something I can do from the WordPress dashboard or do I need a FTP client?

Thanks again for the help

[benjaminsaarde]

That’s what I feared, I just had to give it a try 😉 thank you.
I also recently posted another question in the WordPress forum. This one should be easy and advisable:

If you know that, I would very much appreciate your guidance. Thanks.

[benjaminsaarde]

Ok. I want people to make their own site with wordpress multisite, I want all users to have one multisite and one say in the bb-press forums. I am not that good at php. Do you maybe know some articles which could help me make some php to do this? I don’t don’t know where to end or begin. Thank you.
