“I have added .avatar-14 to style css now with display:none; This removes the small avatars but leaves the big ones.
If you turn them off in WordPress, everything is gone. ”
Could you kindly advise how this is done exactly? In which sheet.
Best,
This is a wordpress thing than a bbpress thing.
you can see on settings>general in the wordpress backend when you go to email its says right below it
This address is used for admin purposes, like new user notification.
to disable that add this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-new-user-notifications/
more info here
http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-disable-new-user-notifications-in-wordpress/
really any plugin that has an included insertable template tag will work.
im going to use jetpack sharing as an example .
first i take every instance of each default area jetpack sharing shows.(also jetpack likes)
function jptweak_remove_share() {
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'sharing_display',19 );
remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'sharing_display',19 );
if ( class_exists( 'Jetpack_Likes' ) ) {
remove_filter( 'the_content', array( Jetpack_Likes::init(), 'post_likes' ), 30, 1 );
}
}
add_action( 'loop_start', 'jptweak_remove_share' );
and then i could just display it anywhere on the reply. in loop-single-reply.php
with this
if ( function_exists( 'sharing_display' ) ) {
sharing_display( '', true );
}
this code also removes it from content like posts and pages. but you can just manually insert it into your wordpress templates to with the above code.
Hi all,
I am looking to move the search from on top of the forum to the right of my menu items. No matter if I add more or delete them. I recently hid it by adding a quick line to my css, but deleated it.
Where I want it vvvv

I would also like to know what to add to my child theme custom css to edit the look of it.
I am new to WordPress so I am still pretty new.
I have a number of other topics open too, click my name to see them, would love the help.
BEST,

Hi, I’m attempting to create a general chat page (private for registered users) using bbpress, although not getting very far with it. The goal is to have one chat page where once users are logged in, they can easily make posts in a similar way as they would on a facebook feed page, preferably with the newest posts on top.
I’m using WordPress 3.9.2, and bbPress 2.5.4.
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
Hello guys! Happy to find this thread, and more than happy to help 🙂
I have a running site and have just tested this. The Label is showing, but the user-entered information for the label is not.
As you can see in the following link, the label is “Gamertag” and if you scroll to AddiCt3d 2CHa0s you will see no gamertag (item) listed, even though it is filled in the profile field.
In settings I was very careful to check and see if there were any spaces, and even that the first letter was capitalized, etc. in both the Name in the plugin and the Name in the BuddyPress profile field and it still won’t work. In settings I’ve elected that both the Label and Item are to be displayed.
Here is an url so you can check it out: http://www.halodiehards.net/forums/topic/hd-shorts/
I am using the most current versions of WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress.
Let me know if I can be of any more assistance!
The importer is included in bbPress, open ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ from your WordPress dashboard.
i dont know about listing it but you might be able to highlight them either using this plugin to show only to keymasters or moderators, or modify it to show to everyone
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-topics/
or somehow edit this function from here to add labels to each topic post type
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-highlight-new-posts-for-returning-visitors-in-wordpress/
PHP
function wpb_lastvisit_the_title ( $title, $id ) {
if ( !in_the_loop() || is_singular() || get_post_type( $id ) == 'page' ) return $title;
// if no cookie then just return the title
if ( !isset($_COOKIE['lastvisit']) || $_COOKIE['lastvisit'] == '' ) return $title;
$lastvisit = $_COOKIE['lastvisit'];
$publish_date = get_post_time( 'U', true, $id );
if ($publish_date > $lastvisit) $title .= '<span class="new-article">New</span>';
return $title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'wpb_lastvisit_the_title', 10, 2);
// Set the lastvisit cookie
function wpb_lastvisit_set_cookie() {
if ( is_admin() ) return;
$current = current_time( 'timestamp', 1);
setcookie( 'lastvisit', $current, time()+60+60*24*7, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN );
}
add_action( 'init', 'wpb_lastvisit_set_cookie' );
CSS
.new-article {
background: #feffdd;
padding: 3px;
border: 1px solid #eeefd2;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
margin-left:5px;
font-size: small;
font-weight: bold;
}
or i guess an alternative is get an unread posts plugin like
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-mark-as-read/
which lists all the unread topics in there profile.
check your wordpress themes stylessheet
look for blockquote { copy everything that has blockquote { then edit then add to custom css
Hi Robin,
Thank you for your quick reply!! I’m only using bbpress because I don’t need all the added functionality that buddypress provides.
I really need to figure this out and I have searched Google and can’t find the answer to this question. I need the functionality that bbPress Provides but I can’t have people clicking the Login or Register links on that page. It’s very unprofessional to see the WordPress Login screen when everything else is done on the front end of the site.
Is there anyone else that we can get involved on the bbPress team that could maybe help us out with this issue?
Cheers!
Hi guys, I’m pretty new(bie) on WordPress, hope some1 could help me.
I’ve created a little test site here: http://www.elite-force.it/test
Then, I’ve installed bbpress and I’ve created menu entries with those magical-fantastic short codes.
Everything seems going fine, of course it will need some CSS adjustment but I don’t panic on that… else way I panic because I can’t reach profile page…
My forum is: http://www.elite-force.it/test/forum/
And profile for my user should be: http://www.elite-force.it/test/forums/user/goose/
When I go to my profile page, something strange happen… It seems that bbpress use my homepage php to build the page.. of course result in a home-similar, with a “THESE POSTS ARE BY: ” on top and any other infos…
I read that bbpress look for page.php if there is no bbpress.php on theme root folder, but if I also create a copy of my page.php or post.php doesn’t fix the problem.
Is because that template uses dynamic pages? there is no solution? I mean, There is no way to override bbpress page settings and make a different view for the profile page?
Please… help those noob
Sorry, I am sure this has been answered but I cannot find an answer to it through google etc.
I want to give my forum roles a bit of a better look, like a little box around them that has a different fill color.
I cant really find a great example, but when I look at rc groups, in the bottom corner it says their status, like admin/moderator etc.
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2198097
anyways, I am pretty new to wordpress but I have a child theme and custom style.css
Thank You,
JB
I’m attempting to log into the codex to help with documentation. I always show as anonymous on the codex pages and the log in link goes to BuddyPress. I log in there and end up on the BuddyPress support forum instead of being redirected back. If I come back manually and refresh the page, I am still not logged in.
I have tried logging in on WordPress.org to see if that carries over, but not luck. Obviously, I’m logged into the support forum now to post this.
I’ve also tried clearing cookies and tested with multiple browsers with no change either.
Hi Robin,
Not sure what was confusing about my questions? I’ll try and make them a bit more clear.
1. The only place within bbPress that says: “Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue” is on the page after clicking on a topic if you’re not logged in. This is what needs to be edited and I can’t find the php code to edit this.
I need to edit the text that’s contained in the yellow box because the default links to Login and Register take you to the default WordPress login and register screen. I don’t want that and would like to:
A. Remove the links altogether and just leave the text.
B. Edit those two links to lead to my front-end Login / Register pages instead.
In other words, If you go to the default forums page, after clicking on a forum you are taken to the discussions page. If you’re not logged in, at the bottom is a yellow box that says “You must be logged in to create new topics.” This is fine because it not only says exactly what I want it to say, it doesn’t have links to Login and Register.
Next step…
After clicking on any of the listed discussions, you are then taken to the topics within that discussion. If you’re not logged in, at the bottom is a yellow box that says “Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue. This is the text that I need to edit because the login and register links don’t take my users to the pages I want them to go to. Instead of the front end login and register pages that I’ve created, these two links go to the default WordPress login register. I can’t have this.
How can I:
A. Remove the links altogether.
B. Edit the links to lead to my front-end Login / Register page.
Thank you so much for your time!!
Cheers!
deactivate your plugins one at a time , and find the plugin thats causing some issues.
switch to a different theme and see if it works there
other than that contact GD bbPress attachment plugin support
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

Hi Guys
The link to create a new forum is missing in he WordPress backend.
I have the ‘Forum’ link in the menu on the left, but there is no ‘Add New’ or ‘New Forum’ option.
I am logged in as Admin
I have BBpress 2.3.2
ihave “bbpress quotes” plug in and “GB BBpress attachemtnts” plug in.
If i disable the attachments plug ins i lose the ‘Forum’ link in the left hand menu completely! When i reactivate this plug in i get the Forum menu item again with only the ‘Archive forums’ option
Can anyone help? I just need to create one more forum!
Thanks in advance for any help or advice guys
🙂
I have
ok, I am trying to help you, but there are thousands of wordpress themes, and I have no idea what sidebar 2 and 3 are supposed to do.
which would you like to achieve
a full width forum or show both sidebar 2 and sidebar 3, and if the latter can you create a testpage with just some text on and post the url, sop that I can see what it should look like.
only thing i could think of is changing your quote method to bbcode.
or deactivate your plugins, and activate them one at a time to find if there is a plugin issue.
but yeah not sure at all, you could also contact wp-monalisa support too
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-monalisa
but yeah its more of getting support from gd bbpress tools.
Hi all,
I have already installed bbPress successfully and some users post new topic/replies normally. However, one user’s new topic/replies are automatically marked as spams after he submits his posts. Is there any way to stop this? And does this relate to IP Address Blocker or anti-spam plugin?
WordPress version: 3.9.2
bbPress version: 2.5.4
Any help is truly appreciated. Hope to get response soon.
Regards,
Linh Do
you should be remove *template Name : ….*
its not a page template, should be have some code like this in start file :
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying bbPress content.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage BuddyBoss
* @since BuddyBoss 3.0
*/
get_header(); ?>
<!-- if widgets are loaded in the Forums sidebar, display it -->
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar('forums') ) : ?>
<div class="page-right-sidebar">
<!-- if not, hide the sidebar -->
<?php else: ?>
<div class="page-full-width">
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- bbPress template content -->
<div id="primary" class="site-content">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar('bbpress'); ?>
</div><!-- closing div -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I thought you would like to know my hosting provider persevered and created a procedure to resolve this issue. It was….
=== From the support engineer ===
1. Deactivate the bbPress plugin.
2. Find the database version in the wp_options table and reset that back to “1”. I could have picked an actual WordPress database version (and probably something as simple as the most recent), but I knew this worked from the testing on the development site.
3. Once the database version was manually set back to 1, I had to navigate to: https://zippe.biz/wp-admin/upgrade.php. This forced WordPress to run all of the database upgrades required to get from version 1 to the latest version of the database (27916).
4. Once the upgrades had completed I needed to reset the account password for our account. I noticed this was required on both the staging site and the live site, so my hunch is it may have reset some keys. You’ll likely need to do this for all of your accounts as well.
5. After the password had been reset I was able to login and the dashboard loaded normally.
I’ve recently installed a bbPress forum within my wordpress blog. See link here. But for some reason my bbpress forum does not extend out to the full width of the page. Its very narrow looking.
When I first uploaded bbpress I created a ‘Page’ and called it ‘forum’. Within that page I can add sidebars and widgets to those sidebars but none of that works for me and I would like to find out why and how I can fix it?
I’m using wordpress version 3.9.1. And bbpress version 2.5.4.
