easy way i think would be to just install this and choose the dark color.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/

you can also use this below css and copy it where ever you can put custom css

jetpack css module
custom css plugin
you can find the exact css in bbpress.css and just replace it with the one im posting.

you can of course change inherit to and other color like black or its hex #000 for example.

if im missing something please reply back

I’m using Eclipse as my theme on wordpress.
http://generalstcg.byethost15.com/?forum=general-discussion
This is my website.
I want to be able to change the color of the text because if you go on my website, it’ll be white on white.
Is there a way to make the background a darker/blacker color and keep the white letters?
I read about bbpress.css but I have no idea where to find it or to look for it.
Can someone please help?
Thank you!

WordPress: 4.0

Thanks.

Why would some one pay for support on a non working plugin lol

its works for other users

I dont have caching but with all plugins deactivated other then the ones needed for forums its not working

again im just trying to bring up possible conflicts that might be causing the issue.

or just give up on having bbCode.

well i guess you just tell your users that your site has oembed and it can be used in the forums as long as you have Auto-embed Links checked in the forum settings.

and that any youtube/vimeo video link will automatically embed
imgur/flickr will automatically embed and so on.

images from other sources can use the img button in the quicktags toolbar

and options like bold/italicize/link/block-quote can be used from the quicktags toolbar.

we have been using block-quote button back and forth so to replace quotes you can do that too.

list of available oembed providers

1) just use the

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

shortcode on the page to do that

2) That can all be done using coding, but would require a lot of code and expertise both within bbpress/wordpress and to link it to a payment product to take the money, and you’ll lose a lot of revenue in commission on 75p payments on say payal, who take a 20p a transaction charge as well as 3.4% commission.

Ballpark say £100-£200 for a coder to write that all for you (without looking that’s the sort of figure I’d expect to charge to write that, but it could be a lot more)

You would do better to look at a ‘membership’ site plugin, and take a payment per say ten ‘ads’, and use something like ‘bbp notify’ to know when they’ve posted, and a simple excel spreadsheet which you manually update. Then suspend membership or block posting when they have used up their limit.

Hello, I am fairly new to WordPress.

I recently added bbPress to my site and tested out the forums.

I created a “testuser” so that I could post on the forums; however, after signing into “testuser”, I found out that the role “participant” can access the Dashboard of WordPress and through the Dashboard, the Theme Options and change it.

Not sure if this is supposed to happen or not but I would like to know if there is a way to restrict the “participant” from accessing Dashboard and other WordPress options.

Thanks

WordPress Version: 4.0
bbPress Version: 2.5.4
Theme: Lightly modified Skeleton (http://themes.simplethemes.com/skeleton/)

I’m using this code: http://pastebin.com/7NQnubJP to add custom fields in a specific forum. Everything is working great except for when I try to edit an existing topic. When I try to edit an existing topic, the custom fields aren’t displayed on the page, and therefor aren’t editable. Only the normal Title and Content fields are displayed.

The issue still happens while using an unmodified Twenty Fourteen theme (besides adding the relevant code to the functions.php file, of course).

I haven’t had any luck finding out what the problem is, but I’m hoping it’s something simple.

I appreciate any help!

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to style a single forum page differently to the main forum pages. I know I can do a conditional statement so say when on this page, do this, however I think there might be an easier way.

Can I use the usual naming & hierarchy structure used by WordPress? ie; when I have a custom post type named ‘movies’ I can use a template for this page called ‘single-movies.php’.

Can I do something like this perhaps?
forum-my-forum-name.php
or bbpress-my-forum-name.php

I’ve tried but didn’t seem to work for me so maybe I’m missing something fundamental.

Thanks in advance.

I just finished setting up a new site and went live this week. I’m now getting an error within my bbPress forum that reads, “Error: Taxonomy isn’t defined”. What do I need to do in order to fix/make this message go away? It is only shown once you select a topic to view, at the top of the page, following the title of the topic.

Hi, before i go ahead and start trying to make a car enthusiast site built on my current ideas, i wanted to know if this is possible, and if so, how..?

1) – Multiple Forums
I would like to have multiple bbPress forums over multiple WordPress pages, e.g. “general forums” on one WP page, a “buy/sell” forum on the second WP page, a “Services” forum on another WP page etc. and all while having the same login/passwords etc.

2) – Pay Per Thread
I would like to charge users a set amount, say maybe 75p to post a thread (not a reply etc.) in the “buy/sell” forums and say maybe 50p to post a thread (again, not a reply etc.) in the “Services” forum so that I make the money to sustain my site from people posting items for sale or offering a helping hand (a “service”) for a smaller fee than a garage etc.

[Robin W]

not easily from within wordpress.

How many users do you have?

Do you have phpmyadmin access? If you do then have a look at the wp_users table – don’t worry accessing the database isn’t really that scary as long as you go slowly and make sure you don’t update !

[Fly1nP4nda]

Same issue as described above for a client’s forum I am working on.

New topics and replies not showing, freshness incorrect

Now I do have one question as no one has really mentioned this yet.

What server is everyone running wordpress/bbpress on?

Aside from this issue I do have smaller issues that I had to handle simply because my client’s server configuration and it being on IIS/Windows server as opposed to Linux (I normally don’t have issues such as this on Linux)

Hi,
I’m using the plugin WP Business Intelligence for show custom report about my blog.

I would show the topic/thread that not have new answers from 1 month.

For this plugin, I must write custom SQL Query.
I studied bbPress database schema, but I can not find where the answers are saved for each thread.

Who can help me to write my query?

Thanks.

I can set up a wordpress.com account tomorrow with some paypal donate button if you really feel like donating to me.

I would like that, it’s the least I can do. Thanks again!

[Robkk]

Thanks again, and if you accept donations please contact me or direct me to a place where I can contribute to all who helped here. Thanks again,

no problem , any other issues make a new topic.

Robin has donate links here.

I can set up a wordpress.com account tomorrow with some paypal donate button if you really feel like donating to me.

other ways of contributing i guess are helping out in the forums the best you can with other users, or the bbPress project itself.

alright this should be your entire css now

if the @media queries still do not work try just adding them into your child themes style.css file.

if it still doesnt work when you put the media queries in your style.css make sure you are not using @import and instead using this in your child themes functions.php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('parent-style')  );
}

more info here https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

and also contact jetpacks plugin support and see if there is a problem or if i made another mistake or something

you can see i removed the width:100% on the #bbpress-forums css code , its because it didnt really do anything.

hello guys, I created the portal with WordPress, I installed the plugin bbPress. as you can see in the background to the forum topic STICK does not allow to read the title of the topic, even in the discussion. Should I just increase the size of FONT and putting in the color BLACK

I am using bbPress 2.5.4 on WordPress 4.0.

I have added in the bbPM plugin by uploading it to my WordPress Plugin file through FTP. I can see the bbPM plugin on the Plugins page in the WordPress Dashboard but when I try to activate it I get the following error:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_load_plugin_textdomain() in ../wp-content/plugins/bbpm/bbpm.php on line 20″

I looked through this forum and found some suggestions of adding bbPM into a “my-plugins” folder inside the bbPress folder and now that I have done this, the bbPM plugin no longer shows up on the Plugins page.

I made sure both the my-plugins folder and the bbPM folder had 755 permissions but bbPM still will not appear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Robkk]

you can use this to add links to the edit profile section of your profile in the menu.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

you can then use this to just lead to just the profile

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_pro_link' );
function my_nav_menu_pro_link($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_login ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/">Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
 
}

then you can just create a link to your topics archive by going to the menu section and adding a link to the menu with the link being yoursite.com/topics

Just want to add my notes in updating from dinosaur version 0.9.0.7 to 1.2 for anyone going thru the process. Follow the steps in https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/updating/ (shown below).

At step four, these additional steps need to happen:

4-b) In bb-includes on the server create a drectory called backpress. Copy all the backpress files from the download of “backpress-1.2-bbpress\includes”. Copy the folder “schema” to \\bb-includes\backpress\ on the server.

4-c) In /bb-includes/backpress/ on server create a folder called “pomo”. Copy the 5 files from the download of “Glotpress pomo” into it.

Updating

These instructions cover upgrading to version 1.2

• First, you should always back up your files and your database in case something goes wrong.
• Second, deactivate all plugins.
• Third, keep the following files and directories.

  bb-config.php
  my-plugins/ (if you have it)
  my-templates/ (if you have it)
  my-languages/ (if you have it)
  also backup your existing .htaccess file if you have modified it, then delete everything else.

• Fourth, upload the newest version of bbPress to your server.
• Fifth, log in and visit your bbPress admin area. If you see an upgrade link instead of the normal screen, click it. If you don’t see an upgrade link (it would have been really obvious), continue to the next step.
• Sixth, visit the new “Settings” area of the admin and edit any details or settings in the “General” section. Also visit the “Permalinks” section to regenerate your .htaccess file if necessary. Also reactivate your plugins one by one (some may need to be upgraded as well).
• Seventh, sit back and relax; you’re done!

These downloads are for legacy versions of bbPress and are no longer in active development but still available for download if you’re feeling nostalgic. You can find the WordPress plugin bbPress here
bbPress 1.2

The latest 1.x stand-alone version of bbPress is 1.2 (.zip / trac / svn)

The latest bbPress 1.2 specific BackPress package is backpress-1.2-bbpress (.zip / trac / svn)

(You will also need the GlotPress ‘pomo’ folder from here.)
