I tried many times, but i couldn’t successfully convert forums from bbpress1 to bbpress2 in a Buddypress installation. So I gave up! That was totally a mess.
I have +10,000 posts in bbpress1, and during migration I allways got timeout errors.
after a partly migration, all forums were empty in buddypress (but in bbpress URLs, they was ok). So nothing worked in buddypress.
Users avatars also changes to the default picture in bbpress2.
AT FIRST, BACKUP YOUR DATABASE.
I haven’t been able to figure this out either, so I set the “BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH” in my functions.php file to 120. I figure I won’t been needing small avatar thumbnails anyway, so I’ll just go with slightly larger ones as default.
When I change a group from public to hidden, the related forum topics still populate the forum index for non-group members. However, clicking on the group link results in “page not found.”
Question: is this a bug inherent to bbPress (i did notice that the recent update mentioned something about hidden groups in the change log)?
or
Could this be something wrong with my forum database. I did recent just convert over to bbPress from default BuddyPress forums. I thought everything went smoothly, but I could be wrong.
Yeah but they don’t wish to be like other forum software I guess.
bbPress wants to stay very clean, lean en mean I think. They hope somebody will ever make plugins for bbPress to accomplish all those tasks even history has proven Plugins aren’t the best way to go forward.
Anyway,
The code-snippet should go in the template that handles the form-stuff.
Copy & paste ( don’t drag & drop ) both files to your theme folder inside a new fodler called bbpress.
wp-content / themes / your-theme-name / bbpress / ** paste them here **
Open the files and search for a line that say: <?php bbp_the_content( …. ); ?>
Line 66 and 92 I think it is.
Change the code and Save it.
Refresh the page and you should see a Media upload button above the toolbar.
Yes thats true, first of all you should only copy the files that you need to edit.
Just copying everything works fine but isn’t needed because inside the bbPress core is a function whats called Theme_Support ( i believe thats what its called ) And this function does only one thing, before reading all template-files.
Check if the needed template file is inside your theme folder. If it’s not.. –> use the template file inside the plugin folder.
bbPress plugin template files are the default template files but when you copy them over to your theme the new copied files become default.
It’s serious one of the most beautiful and easy constructions I’ve ever seen used at CMS’s. I’ve worked with manny other forum-software that had many more options and features as bbPress but they never had this easy way of safely -editing template files.
bbpress.css works 100% the same copy the bbpress.css file to a folder called CSS inside your theme folder and it works the same way. The forum.css file at the picture isn’t bbPress, thats something I created manually and has nothing to do with bbPress.
Those are two fast screenshots of what I made without having any PHP skills, I just understand HTML + CSS.
Thanks for reply, I didn’t know you replied because I didn’t receive any email.
lets say I don’t want to use a child theme.
1. create bbpress folder on my theme folder.
2. copy all files from [wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/defaults/bbpress/All those files are bbPress (forum)] to my created bbpress folder
3. copy all files from [wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / extras / All those files are general Theme] to my /wp-content/theme/mytheme directory.
I wasn’t sure if i need to copy all or just what I need. Also you have bbpress.css and forum.css files…are these also included in bbpress package?
Hello,
you guys are doing a great job.
I do understand that you want to disable the TinyMCE editor by default,
but why don’t you give us an option in the back-end where we can enable the TinyMCE editor?
That would be the best thing to do to make us users happy.
Not sure where you’re getting your info, but it’s not correct. 🙂
bbPress uses your existing WordPress theme, and allows you to customize the individual templates as you see fit. You can copy the template files you want to customize out of: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/
and drop them in… wp-content/themes/YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME/bbpress/
where YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME is the name of the currently active theme on your site.
Then start editing them, and you should see your edits come through.
In bbPress’s default configuration, this is by design to support styling for widgets, which can exist outside of bbPress’s standard page views. You’ll need to write a custom plugin to dequeue bbPress’s CSS when ! is_bbpress().
I’ve been carefully examining my web access logs because my provider said my website is using too many resources – and even though I would say it is absolutely medium in size it uses about 50% of the resources on the shared hosting site.
I noticed that for EVERY page called from the website, whether or not is a forum page and whether or not it contains and bbpress plug-ins -especially not- includes a call to the bbpress style sheet. For example:
The default toolbar buttons are positioned at the top of the <textarea> and with a little bit of JS I can hide it by default and let it pop-up when text inside the <textarea> is selected.
Right now I have to delete everything thats default and create my own <textarea> + BBcode buttons.
You can’t really create a Child Theme for bbPress only.
But if you like to work with the Child Theme idea – I personally think it fails big time but some people really like it then just create a Child Theme if you would do the WP way. https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
After that you simply add a folder called bbpress inside your Theme or Child Theme folder and copy-/paste the files over from your Plugins directory to your Theme or Child Theme directory.
wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / extras / All those files are general Theme template files and will be read first if you copy them inside your Child Theme folder
wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / bbpress / All those files are bbPress (forum) templates files and will be read first if you copy them inside your Child Theme/bbpress folder.
As of jQuery 1.7, the .live() method is deprecated. Use .on() to attach event handlers. Users of older versions of jQuery should use .delegate() in preference to .live().
Sounds like you’re using an old jQuery version, being enqueued from some other plugin.
When there is none css folder inside you theme folder just create one.
What you’ve done right now is created you’re own custom stylesheet for bbPress that can’t be overwritten by software updates.
What styles you have to change I can’t tell from looking at your picture, but it’s pretty easy to find them.
Make sure you have a Webkit browser installed on your computer ( Google Chrome is reallt the best for this ). View your website and right-mouse-click on the element you would like to change and pick the option ” Inspect Element ” ( I think it’s called )
Now you have at the bottom all the style , there’s also a location + line number where to find the elements inside your bbpress.css file.
Look at this video for some instructions.
It’s not that difficult.
