if you were here I’d give you a big kiss.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , your welcome i guess?? haha

about it not being updated in over a year , the plugin is very simple it basically just outputs a shortcode at the bottom of blog posts.

and also that this functionality is going to be implemented in the future release of bbPress.

so when the update comes and says bbPress for WordPress comments in the changelog of the plguin. you can pretty much just remove the topics for posts plugin from there on and just use bbPress.

[Robkk]

i havent found a plugin that can do such thing especially allow users to select the tag , sort of like how reddit forums operate.

to hire a dev you can go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[dice2dice]

It is the plugin. I had it turned off because WordPress warns that it hasn’t been updated for over a year.

@robkk if you were here I’d give you a big kiss. I’ve had over 30 emails/contact form messages from website members complaining about the forums disappearing. My web designer in in the Arctic for Xmas, I couldn’t find anyone else with bbPress experience, couldn’t find any instance of a similar problem through many, many internet searches, it’s been a stressful 24 hours so thank you very kindly.

Hi there,
im pretty new to WordPress and css.
Till now everything worked fine but now im trying to resize my bbpress forum (www.die-dunkle-wache.de/forum) to the whole width of the browser.
I got it to width 100% so it has the same width as the navbar, but i want it without the margin left and right (dont know if its margin or max width).
I tried to change the Template but this didnt work.
I just want the forum to resize all the other pages and the navbar schould stay like they are.
Hope u can help me.

Best Regards,
Gotzak

Yes the forums still exist @Robk but they’ve disappeared from posts.

What I mean by that is when you create a new post you have the option of adding a bbPress forum, an option which I always took so that every article has a new or an existing forum linked to it. But the option to add a forum has disappeared, and worse than that so have all the forums have disappeared from every post.

Here is a great example of a post that that had man comments and that looks ridiculous without its forum:
http://whichinvestmenttrust.com/investor-clinic-income-life-required-inheritance/

Thor forum is always at the bottom of the page.

I don’t understand how I simply cannot have forums on my posts any more and after 20 hours of searching around the internet I have no semblance of an answer.

How does bbPress integrate with WordPress? What would prevent it from suddenly not integrating?

[Robin W]

This is a known error that occurs in some circumstances.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412

The fix is to deactivate WP_DEBUG in wp-config

This is just information and should not affect its working

Okay,

I did install a complete fresh wordpress with only bbpress. Then I added

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

to the functions.php of “Twenty Fourteen”. And again, the same problem as described above. I have to click row one. If I click below it nothing happens.

But – I also found out, that it is a problem of “Chrome” only. Everything is working fine in Firefox and others. Here the cursor jumps to row one if I click into the text field.

So I guess it might not be a problem of bbpress… Not sure.

Any Ideas?

Btw: As soon as I add links into this answer it disappears…

Update WordPress to the latest version as well as bbPress? You should be fine, they’re compatible. It’s mostly other plugins you might have to worry about, but generally things should work. Make sure you take a backup of your data before proceeding.

[Lumartist]

Okay,

I did a few tests. The Problem also appears if I enable the visual (tab) editor via functions.php, like described here: BBPress Codex, and even if I use this Plugin: bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

This is what it looks like on the Website: directupload.net Image

And this is how it looks like in chrome dev tools: directupload.net Image

Can’t believe that I am the only one with this problem… Or am I doing somethings wrong?

[dice2dice]

I had to deactivate all plugins to determine which one was causing an issue for my site. After identifying the issue (nothing to do with BbPress) and reactivating my plugins all forums have disappeared from the sites and as an option in WordPress new forum posts.

As BbPress and BuddyPress have bother both reactivated I have no idea why the forums are gone?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I’ve gone through my site several times reviewing many different options but I can’t figure this out?

My site is: http://www.whichinvest.com
I have the latest versions of WordPress/BBPress/Buddypress.

Thanks

I want to update wordpress 3.9 version on my videos website but little confuse that bbpress will work fine after updation.

Hello Robin,

I don;t know what the issue is with this forum, but that last reply with the pictures is the post I’ve tried to post 2 days ago…

I already solved it with custom css
http://www.pc-helpforum.be/topic/55670-wordpress-bbpress-plugin/#entry437428

(your reply wasn’t visible at that time either).

So again I don’t know what’s wrong with this forum that post get delayed posted for over a day, but it isn’t really helpful.

[Tecca]

It’s likely inheriting the bullets from your WordPress style.css rather than something coming from the bbPress stylesheet. So what you can do is add something like the below CSS to your bbPress stylesheet.

#bbpress-forums li {
    list-style-type: none;
}

That will likely remove bullets from forum posts as well, but it’s hard to get specific without seeing the site itself.

Hopefully that takes you in the right direction.

[wannial]

Fixed it with some custome css

ok, so it sounds like a theme issue, so I googled ‘wordpress theme pinboard bbpress’ and got this

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-forum-homepage-displaying-oddly?replies=8

the advice is closed to perfect as this looks very strongly like your problem. The only issue might be that the page.php file has been changed in a later version and the lines might be slightly different.

Read this first for background

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

so try the following

1. copy page.php and rename it bbpress.php
2, edit the bbpress.php file
line 12:
<?php post_class(); ?>
to
<?php $classes=get_post_class(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $classes); ?>
4. modify LOCAL forums.php line 18:
<?php the_content(); ?>
to
$content = get_the_content(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $content); ?>
Save this file and reload it to your theme

As the link says, you should really put it into a child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but either way keep a copy of it.

Come back if this isn’t clear

Hello,

I have imported the users from phpbb into wordpress(bbpress) using Importing Tools. But the users are not able to login to system. are there any setup required to allow imported users to login?

I have checked the wp_usermeta table and many rows filled for imported users along with this column ‘_bbp_password’.

In wp_users table password is empty for imported users. I have read some where this password will update after the first login. But in my case the imported users are not able to login in WP.

can you guys help regarding this?

thanks
rehan

I installed the GD bbPress Tools plugin and the plugin itself works great. However, when you go to edit profile so that you can edit your signature, everything is “white” and you can’t see what you have written, etc. I originally had this issue on the actual bbPress forums but I downloaded the bbPress UI settings and changed it to a dark theme. I am completely lost in codec’s and css, etc, but I would like to know what to do to change this as it is really annoying some of the people that joined our site. I’m attaching a picture of what the issue appears to be.

Wordpress Version is 4.0.1.
Theme is Falcon (Child theme of 2014 themes)
GD bbPress Tools version is 1.6

Hi there!

I apologize if someone else has already posted about this, but I did a search and didn’t find someone with my exact error. But I have been using bbPress version 2.5.4 with WordPress version 4.0.1, and it was working great for the past few days until I tried to use CMS2CMS to transfer over my forum from phpBB to WordPress. It now has “Page Not Found” errors, even after removing all traces of the CMS2CMS plugin. I can not access any portion of my forum, but everything looks fine on the back end. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of my plugins and still continue to get the error. What am I missing?

Here is the link to my site:

Thanks in advance! 🙂

I have a child theme setup using the Child Theme Configurator plugin. I have the following in the child theme folder; style.css, function.php and bbpress.php (renamed from page.php).

I am using the WP-Englightened theme.

I copied the page.php to the child root and renamed it to bbpress.php. There doesn’t seem to be anything in that file to remove for the sidebar.

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'before' ); ?>

<?php 
	if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 
	global $do_not_duplicate;
	$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;
?>

						<div <?php post_class('singlepage clearfix'); ?> id="single-page-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

							<div class="entry">

								<h1 class="page-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

								<?php if ( get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'video_embed', true ) ) {
									$video_embed = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'video_embed', true );
									echo '<div class="post-feature-video single">';
									echo '<div class="single-video">';
									echo $video_embed;
									echo '</div>';
									echo '</div>';
 								} ?>

								<?php the_content(); ?>

								<div style="clear:both;"></div>

								<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>

							</div>

						</div>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'after' ); ?>

I tried putting this in the style.css file based on a thread here.

.site,
.site-header {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
	background: none repeat-y right 0;
	padding-right: 0;
}

.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, 
.page-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.form-allowed-tags {
	display: none;
}

div.bbp-breadcrumb, 
div.bbp-topic-tags {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

.bbpress .hentry {
	margin: 0 auto 48px;
	max-width: 100%;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {
	.bbpress .site-content {
		margin-right: 0;
		margin-left: 182px;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1080px) {
	.bbpress .site-content {
		margin-left: 222px;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1218px) {
	.bbpress .site-content .entry-content {
		margin-right: 0;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 673px) {
	.bbpress .site-content {
		margin-right: 0;
	}
}

If I create a page and use the short code for bbpress and tell it in the page options to do full width it works fine for the main page but not for the rest of them.

You can add the default WordPress media button. I guess it only works for logged in WordPress users with authorization to upload.

Hey all, first post here and hope someone can help me.
I’ve put a bbpress forum in my wordpress website and created a Forum button in the main navigation bar

http://www.hardwarehome.nl

When I click this button the forum is shown perfectly.
When I then klick on a subforum like reviews it’s still perfect, but then!
If I klick forums, not on the main navigation bar, but in the forum menu itself, it brings me back to the forum (notice the sligt difference in URL /forum when coming form the menu bar, and /forums when coming trough the forum) but it’s all scrambled up!

Anyone any suggestions on this one?

[Stephen Edgar]

The next release of bbPress will allow you to customise the CSS based on the user role in each topic or reply so you should be able to do what your asking here 🙂

See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2692 for further details 🙂

Additionally also see this post on how to achieve the same results now 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

To add and thanks Rob, bbPress.org does not use Font Awesome, we us Dashicons that are included with WordPress.
