Hello. I’m about to launch my customized WordPress/bbPress/BuddyPress platform; it’s a quite large undertaking and eventually we decided for this, even though bbPress is a bit lacking in some aspects when compared with similar forum software, but we went for it since it granted more compatibility with WP/BP.

Anyway, I noticed an image today with Forum Statistics and Online Users List, something that I thought was not possible with bbPress. Here it is:

Can anyone of you tell me how can we do the same? Thanks in advance!

[Jared Atchison]

I’m not sure how this works with BuddyPress, but you may be able to try this plugin which typically shows what templates are in use.

Yep, it’s brute force, but at the moment is the only way, for non admin accounts, to see the forums if the wordpress installation is using also WPML plugin.
If i deactivate WPML, also non admin users can see the forums, if i activate, admins can see the forums, but non admins get a 404 error page.

Hi I’m having a problem with my buddypress forums.

I’m able to create forum topics and view the topics I’ve created. But no one else who’s on the site can view the topics.

How do I make my topics visible?

We are using BP version 1.6.4
BbPress is version 2.2.4
Wordpress is version 3.5.1

Forum settings are allowed for groups and standalone. This issue is happening on all topics as far as I can tell.

See screenshots below to see what I’m talking about.

Here you can see the topics.

Here’s what shows up once I click on one of the topics.
Topic View

The post is hidden and all it shows is the option to reply.

Any thoughts on what’s causing this?

Hi all,
Running WordPress version 3.5.1 and bbPress version 2.2.4 My them is Everest by Elegant Themes.
All works well with the whole site, and wanted to add Forum functionality with bbPress. The CSS doesn’t appear to be showing at all for the forum. It really is horribly dull and small fonts.

Although this is on a staging / testing server, you will see what I mean:

Can someone help please? I have copied the original bbPress css file into the /themes/everest/css/ folder but still get the same issue.

Thnks in advance.
Chris

Hi Guys,

I need to change some texts on my forum. Examples of the texts i need to change are listed below.

Topic

Freshness

Voices

Post

Create New Topic

Topic Title

There are a few more but I would run out of space trying to list all of them. (LOL)

Now to my question, How can i change these texts without using a plugin preferably.
I have tried the – BB Press String Swap Plugin – but i am not keen on it as it does not offer the opportunity to change all the texts i would like to change and also because i feel it slows my site down.

Has anyone got any other suggestions to help me out. If there is no plugin out there that can do all the text changes i need to do, is there a tutorial out there to which i can refer? If it is possible to achieve this by editing files would it have to be in a child theme (Risk of losing after update)

Finally, if all fails, is there any expert out there who can make these changes for me for a fee?

Thanks in Advance

OK. I just found the answer to my own question.

I mistakenly installed BB PRESS as stand-alone app. I didn’t realize that it could also just be installed as a plug-in to WordPress – didn’t see that anywhere in the documentation.

Just tested it and it looks great, it not only wraps in the header and footer but also the side-bar. As with any WP page, you can just select a button to undo this.

To anyone in the same boat as I am. Go to WordPress:Plugins and install BB Press from there. Then, all new forums, topics, ect. will be created from the WP Admin panel.

Ciao,

Recently i have started bbpress forum for my blog But i want to know how i can enable custom bbpress avatars for user profiles. Thanks in advance.

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!

[Stephen Edgar]

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?

[Unsal Korkmaz]

Theme is officially published in WordPress.Org: https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/firmasite

Enjoy 🙂

[pazzaglia]

Maybe I wasn’t clear.

I have WordPress already successfully installed, now I have installed BBpress. I’m looking for documentation for wrapping BBPress in my WordPress headers so the experience is continuous.

Thanks,

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.

[pazzaglia]

Can you point me to a guide or post that lists the CSS work?

I’m really surprised there isn’t a better template integration between wordpress and bbpress!

Thanks,

L

[clickmac]

that takes alot of css, best you install wordpress and feature your forum on all categories
like here

[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?

[pazzaglia]

I’ve been searching through the plug-ins and maybe not using the right words to look for this in the forums – surely I’m not the first to ask THIS!

I just installed bb press and I want to put a wrapper on it so it looks like my wordpress website. Google searches got me into trouble with mods that broke the forums.

Can you point me to a discussion, documentation or reliable website that tells me how to do this?

Thanks,

L

Only private replays to public topics. (can be seen by topic creator, moderators and user who post it)
Im also looking for private messaging plugin for bbpress.
Or private topics – same as private replays, but for whole topic.

Hello,

I’ve looked and looked, there doesn’t seem to be a way to see all the posts from a specified user. All you can see are the topics that he/she created or has subscribed to, but not the replies. In the backend, you can’t order the replies or subjects by user either.

Does anyone know of a way it can be done or of an add-on that can solve this?

Thanks.
