I’m sure this won’t help, but just out of curiosity are you on the latest version of WordPress/bbPress?

[John James Jacoby]

I’m using a plugin I made called bbPress No Admin.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/

[John James Jacoby]

Saying that it’s obvious isn’t really fair. WordPress works in specific ways for specific reasons; blindly, forcefully overriding it isn’t something to take lightly.

I’m looking at the 404 issue.

[Jared Atchison]

Sure thing. bbPress.org uses a plugin called wp-markdown 🙂

hey mate,

this is precisely the kind of overly simplistic response which turns people off using bbPress. Your suggestion is pretty much contained in the bbPress documentation already and is less than useful.

Sure, you need to copy bbpress.css to the right directory and edit it. But what you fail to mention, and what is mentioned nowhere in the bbPress documentation, is that many of the font specifications are not actually listed in that CSS file — you need to puzzle out the CSS entry yourself and add a new CSS entry, not edit an old one, to change the font size.

I spent three hours working this out last night. The correct entry is:

bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,

bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {

    font-size: 12px;

}

I have seen this same response from the moderators on the bbPress forum dozens of times as I searched it last night. This same arrogance — ‘just copy the CSS file and edit it’. Technically you’re right, but without any detail or documentation around bbPress, this suggestion comes across as the contempt of an experienced web developer for someone who is, in their eyes, a ‘n00b’.

I operate a major WordPress site and edit its CSS files daily. And yet, the CSS for bbPress is hideously complex and hard to understand. I suggest that you guys modify your attitude and start looking for actual solutions to people’s problems … especially around making default themes easier to customise. Otherwise, bbPress, which is an awesome solution to a long-held problem for WordPress site owners, will remain the little-used forum software that it is.

I just updated to the latest bbPress version from 2.0 and I don’t the new fancy editing elements in my forum.
I am currently using an edited version of the twentyten theme that I am using as a child theme. Do I need to update the theme in order to see the new fancy editing elements? How can I fix this problem? Thanks,

PS: I am also running WordPress 3.4.2

I think it would be a case of changing the order of the two filters? So when you apply a filter you have to set the priority:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter

If you change the priority of the filter on that plugin to be less than the filter on mine it might then work in the right order.

Which plugin are you using? Is it this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/kk-i-like-it/

I can have a look if I can get the right plugin to test…

[Jared Atchison]

I believe bbPress uses wp_mail() and does not explicitly set a “from”, so wordpress@domain.com is used by default.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_mail

[radi_v]

Any updates on this topic?

I need to convert my post comments into replies. How to do it?

[aussi]

Hi all,

When email notifications are sent from our bbPress deployment, the ‘From’ address is being set to ‘wordpress@[domain]’. Looking into the WordPress core code (v3.4.2) in pluggable.php, this is done on line 336 when no ‘From’ header is passed in to the wp_mail() function. We’ve reviewed the bbPress configuration and can’t find anywhere that this can be set, have we missed a setting somewhere?

Note our site is using WordPress 3.4.2 Multisite with bbPress 2.1.2.

Here is an image of the problem.

I have tried the twentyten BBPRESS theme and there is no issues, and there is no issues with 3 other WordPress themes I tried.

Anyone please help

[renai42]

hey everyone,

installed a base install of bbPress today on a test site:

http://topstory.com.au/forums/

Basically all I want to do is modify the font size down, from 12px to 11px. Can someone tell me where I can do this? I’ve done a lot of frakking around with CSS files with WordPress, but can’t find the right setting in bbPress.

Cheers,

Renai

The body classes are applied dynamically using the WordPress body_class() function (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class)

You can use a little trickery to hook into it and remove classes, but if possible I probably won’t do that.

Why are you wanting to remove that body class?

[nielsvanrenselaar]

I got the same problem. The problem only occurs when the user has not made any posts yet. WordPress throws in a 404 error since the loop fails for the user. This is a bbPress bug and should be fixed.

[Jared Atchison]

I’d post it on the WP job board http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[applesqaz]

hey guys

I want my forum to look exactly like http://bbpress.org/forums/

I want the forum to be on the root of my site. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.com

Let me know how much you want for installation and customisation.

I can install wordpress as my host allowes 1 click install. i have installed bbpress but cant get it looking like what i want.

I really like the layout of this forum here and all the colors so id be happy if someone could clone it.

thank

Hi all, just a quick post to plug my new advert unit plugin. It’s a common idea but I couldn’t see a bbpress 2 version so thought I’d have a go. The plugin allows you to insert an advert unit into your threads. Currently the ad will appear after the first post, and can optionally be hidden from logged in users.

I have a few ideas on how to improve it and tidy it up, but happy to consider other requests time permitting.

You can download it from WP here.

Would love to hear from anyone using it and see it running on other sites…

I already have installed wordpress with a theme of my choice and I would like to add the forums on a new page like http://www.mydomain.com/forums, I intall bbpress and link it to that page but the forums arent visible to me or anyone else. is there a known issue with this, I tried searching but cant figure it out by myself. thank you for your time.

[Luke]

Same here. Fresh install of WordPress, added the bbPress plugin, created a Forum called “Discussion”, tried to visit mywebsite.com/forums/forum/discussion… Nothing. I kinda expected at least something to work out of the box.

I have the same issue!
Recent Replies are shown in reverse order. I’m also using WordPress 3.4.2. and BBPress 2.1.2.

I had this problem – only happening to non-admin users and mainly in IE – and I found these threads helpful:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6752773/the-webpage-cannot-be-found-http-404-randomly-and-only-in-ie9-windows-7

http://serverfault.com/questions/251673/getting-404s-on-wordpress-site-but-only-from-ie-with-friendly-error-messages-tu

The workaround to set the status header manually to 200 worked on my site (though at some point I should work out what it is in the theme that’s causing it and fix it properly).

[smokeradiosocialmedia]

Jeffvand: There are a few plugins that allow you to pull in and show custom Sidebars. Two Examples:

These work with Custom Types Ie it recognises the Forums and You can select for them to have their own sidebar:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-sidebars/
But I prefer
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/content-aware-sidebars/

Hope this helps.

I too want to remove the sidebar completly. What part of the CSS would I need to remove. Could you send some more detailed instructions of what code and in what CSS files I need to remove. It is only on Forum pages I want to remvoe sidebars.
Thanks

When importing from bbpress 1.x to 2.2 I have this error:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘topics.topic_first_post_id’ in ‘where clause’]
SELECT convert(topics.topic_id USING “utf8”) AS topic_id,convert(topics.forum_id USING “utf8”) AS forum_id,convert(topics.topic_poster USING “utf8”) AS topic_poster,convert(posts.post_text USING “utf8”) AS post_text,convert(topics.topic_title USING “utf8”) AS topic_title,convert(topics.topic_time USING “utf8”) AS topic_time FROM bb_topics AS topics INNER JOIN bb_posts AS posts USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id = topics.topic_first_post_id LIMIT 950, 50

Converting topics (900 – 949)

The bbPress Plugin v2.x uses the same database as WordPress.
