Hey guys!

I’m using the genesis framework with the Metro childtheme (http://d1021797-400.nedlook.com/airsoftclubnederland.nl/forums/) and Metro has these (imo) cool big titles. But its really unneeded on the forums.

I already know I can put the CSS file in my theme folder but when I mod the title attribute, the titles on normal pages and will also be smaller. Its not being restricted to bbPress as both (WordPress and bbPress) use the same title attribute.

Where can I add a class to the bbPress titles? I imagine I need to modify a core file somewhere.

That way I can simply copy the CSS from the metro title and put something like: div class bbpresstitle in front of it and make it so that only bbPress uses that bit of CSS.

Hello,

I would like to know how to make the “frontpage” of our forum exactly like this forum (bbPress Support). The frontpage should have a paginated “stream” with the latest topics, in the sidebar I should have the forums categories, etc.

Can you please give me a hint?

Thanks!

I would really like to get the @username displayed under a person’s name next to the avatar; the same as these forums; some of my forum users have changed their display names and its making it less user friendly when people try to use @username to get someone’s attention through mentions.

I have read all the info from @johnjamesjacoby above; but it kinda went over my head; ideally I’d love to know exactly what php file to edit and what code to insert and at what specific line/area of said PHP file 🙂 if possible!

Hope someone can help! thanks!

I have read several articles about removing the bbpress slug for forums and then creating a page “forums”, but I really don’t to do that if there is another way. I simply want to add a link to my main navigation menu so when a user clicks it, they are taken to the forum main index. I know when i type in http://www.samplesite.com/forums it takes me where i want to go. So how can i accomplish this with/without creating a forums page. When I have a forums page, the link displays in the main navigation menu, but takes me to an empty page with no forums. Thanks in advance!!!

The short code [bbp-forum-index] displays an entire list of forums while the side bar widget bbPress List can be made to display just the Forum root. Is there a way to either make the [bbp-forum-index] display just the forum rootlist or can the widget bbPress List be made to display on a page?

Thank You

Hello,

Could anyone point me in the right direction so I can identify the filters used in bbpress so that I might remove wptexturize?

I have identified those required for WordPress itself, but bbpress appears to use different filters. The WordPress ones I successfully used are:

remove_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘comment_text’, ‘wptexturize’ );

Which I added to functions.php of a child theme.

I then identified what I thought were the required filters in bbpress from here:

http://etivite.com/api-hooks/bbpress/trigger/apply_filters/bbp_get_topic_content/

…and added the following to functions.php to no effect:

remove_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘wptexturize’);
remove_filter( ‘bbp_get_topic_content’, ‘wptexturize’);

These filters do not work, so I assume they are not the correct ones. Any ideas what the correct filters are?

Thank you!

[jwondrusch]

After much trial and error, I’ve come to a solution that retains permission control and shows the first post when using Wishlist Member with bbPress:

// Create a new filtering function that will add our where clause to the query
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'your_filter_where', 99 );
function your_filter_where( $where ) {

	global $post;
        
        // Limit to posts so it's not ruining permission queries all around the site.  You could also check user level if you need further specificity.
	if( get_post_type( $post->ID ) == 'topic' ) {

                // The Solution: Match based on post id AND parent id.  The admin query did this, the user query did not, so we do a simple search and replace to make it happen.
		$search = $wpdb->prefix . 'posts.post_parent = ' . $post->ID;
		$replace = '( ' . $wpdb->prefix . 'posts.post_parent = ' . $post->ID . ' OR ' . $wpdb->prefix.'posts.ID = ' . $post->ID . ' ) ';
		
		$where = str_replace( $search, $replace, $where);

	}

	return $where;
}

Due to the way that WLM obfuscates their code, it’s impossible to know exactly HOW they are re-constructing queries, but this is a quick starting point for anyone looking to solve the issue of WLM not showing bbPress’s first post in a topic to users.

Hope it helps!

hello there. iam wondering if i activate bbpress, write some things and all of them will be displayed on the frontpage.

is that normal? if yes, is there a way to deactivate? dont like this setting, but all in all i find bbpress is a nice forum.

[Tecca]

It’s a plugin for WordPress so you’d install with your current website. The domain would be something like mywebsite.com/forums

The style will be inherited by whatever WordPress theme you’re using.

Is there any simple way yet to convert an existing punBB forum (I’m running version 1.2.16) into bbPress yet? I tried the bbConverter plugin which says their punBB converter is “not complete”. I tried it anyway, but it simply didn’t do anything.

Also found this topic: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/punbb-bbpress/

But I don’t know how to “run” the script. If it would work at all, it’s five years old.

Your advice?

Hi, Im real new to wordpress and bbpress. I have a similar issue with the bbpress sidebar not showing up. I have my forum page setup as a static page and would like to have a sidebar to login etc… can you help?

[Martyn_]

With BWM the fancy wordpress editor breaks for me – you are unable to switch between visual and text modes.

Versions:

Better WordPress Minify 1.2.2
bbPress 2.3.2
bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab 1.0.0
GD bbPress Tools 1.4
buddypress 1.7.3 (not relevent I think)

I’ve no idea how to debug this but can post more – does anyone have a fix/workaround?

[xejarque]

good news!

[Tecca]

It’s possible that your theme has a bbpress.css file which is overriding whatever you’re putting in the default file. Regardless, you should be editing the file that’s in your theme’s directory, which would look similar to:

webroot / wp-content / themes / yourtheme / css / bbpress.css

If the file isn’t in there or you don’t have that folder in your theme, copy and paste the file over.

Also make sure you’re hard refreshing your browser to clear its cache, after making your changes (hold CTRL then press f5 on your keyboard, or press the browser’s refresh button a couple of times).

Hi Tecca,

That didnt work. changing this codes doesnt reflect any changes on my forums page. in my Godaddy account i am changing this under

webroot / wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / css / bbpress.css

if you think am editing wrong file please let me know.

[Tecca]

In your bbpress.css file, change the background of each of these:

.entry-title {
background: red;
}

#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background: yellow;
}

#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background: green;
}

Just change those color names to hex codes to make them look a bit better.

[yguvvala]

Hi,

I have been trying to get this done but i am really lost. I want my forums here (http://jump2health.com/forums) to get color, I want odd posts to be green in color and even pots to be yellow in color and I want header which says Forums/Discussions to be red which file i need to change and what to change.

I edited bbpress.css file but no changes are reflected on the page. I am not sure who to do this please help.

I am also trying to get rid of the message “Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.” You said “You enabled that setting, disable that setting and the message goes away!” but I cannot see where to enable/disable that setting.

Please advise!

These two are in need of a serious overhaul and I lack the skills to do it. Please read this text and let me know if you agree or if I’m looking for something nobody else needs?

Lets look at the recent replies widget:
If I have the widget show the last 10 replies, and the last 10 replies happened to be on the same topic, you only see that one topic, everything else is drowned out.
The good thing is, if I click on a reply, I jump straight to that reply, not to the beginning of the topic.

Lets look at the recent topics widget:
Sorting by newest topics, this is pretty neat but I wish one could also show the specific forum with each recent topic shown. Clicking a topic sends you to the beginning of that particular topic, which is cool, after all its a new topic.

Now to get what I was looking for with regards to the recent replies, I am now using the recent topics widget but sorted by topics with recent replies. Except that it doesn’t list the latest poster but the thread creator and it links to the topic’s beginning and not to the latest reply.

I kinda feel we had a lot more power, plugins and extensibility with the old bbpress before version 2 came along.

Unfortunately, I’m not a coder so I can either wait until someone helps out or move to another solution.

Any thoughts?

[dvclmn]

Thanks for the reply, JJJ!

Really appreciate your time. I successfully uploaded my entire vB database into phpmyadmin on my server (dvclmn.com).

However I input all my details and unfortunately it still gave me ‘no forums to convert…’ etc.

To be honest I’m sure it’s just a matter of having input a small detail wrong; there’s just so many areas to make an error in!

Perhaps I could get clarification on each field, just to eliminate these areas.

Select Platform
Easy, that’s vBulletin.

Database Server
I am now trying to import from a database on the same server as the bbpress installation. Does this mean I use a) localhost b) my dedicated IP address or c) dvclmn.com OR http://www.dvclmn.com OR http://dvclmn.com?

Database Port
My server uses Apache, so it’s likely this is 3306; is there a way to find out for sure?

Database Name
Is it important to include the server username extension here? So username_database_name? Or is just database_name fine? (in this case it is [username]_anotherc_vb).

Database User
I have seen the option between username@localhost OR username@dvclmn.com OR just username. Which is going to work?

Database Password
Got that nailed haha

Table Prefix
I have just been enter vb_, as all the tables in the database look like this: “vb_access” and “vb_action” etc.

Have been keeping the Rows & Delay Time at their defaults, and selecting Convert Users (and sometimes Start Over & Purge for good measure).

I hope this is enough information for you. It is imperative I can get this working ASAP, as I mentioned before I am happy to pay for premium support if need be. Just need this to work.

Thanks,

Dave.
