You can change this through your bbpress.css file fairly easily. The IDs/classes you’re looking for will be similar to this:

#favorite-toggle, #subscription-toggle {
	text-decoration: none;
	padding: 0 6px;
	font-weight: bold;
	}
	#favorite-toggle a {
		color: #d7be4c;
	}
	#favorite-toggle a:hover {
		color: #dfca66;
	}
	#favorite-toggle span.is-favorite a, #subscription-toggle span.is-subscribed a {
		color: #888888;
		}
		#favorite-toggle span.is-favorite a:hover, #subscription-toggle span.is-subscribed a:hover {
			color: #555555;
		}

#subscription-toggle a {
	color: #39c696;
	}
	#subscription-toggle a:hover {
		color: #4cd4a5;
	}

That’s an older version of what I was using — in there you can see that these elements will change the color based on whatever you set them to:

#favorite-toggle span.is-favorite a, #subscription-toggle span.is-subscribed a

Take note of “span.is-favorite a” and “span.is-subscribed a”. Those are the important ones that will allow you to change the color and style.

If you’d like to add a check mark, you can do something like:

#favorite-toggle span.is-favorite a:before, #subscription-toggle span.is-subscribed a:before {
	content: "✓";
		}

In the above, I added the “:before” pseudo elements to indicate that “before the word, add this content.” The content is the checkmark. Alternatively, you can also use the “:after” pseudo element and add things that way. Both work.

Just to say that I believe it’s coming from Buddypress itself more then bbPress.
All of Buddypress pages are empty (Activity, groups, etc…)

I’ll look that way but if anyone know the issue, feel free to help.
thanks

i’m using bbpress with buddypress, latest versions of both and latest version of wp.

the recent topic widget displays topics from private group forums to everyone… groups are private for a reason… is this a bug or?

[craig]

same issue here suddenly:
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 461

Anyone a link to an old version of buddypress?

[craig]

Hi all,

I’ve always been confused with this and it seems so does my coding.

I’ve installed both buddypress group forums and bbpress’ sitewide forums. I would like to retain both.

So first off I several questions on setup, but to save time for you all, is there any documentation explaining some of the following in detail?

1. why when a user sets up a group does it ask them twice if they want the group to include a forum? Once under the ‘setting’ section saying: ‘group forum – should this group have a forum? – enable discussion forum?’, and then another the following tab ‘3.Forum’?

2. I don’t understand the group forums showing in site wide forums etc etc.

So any documentation on understanding this would be great.

But my main question is why in the users profile we have a ‘forum’ tab, which allows the user to see their contributions to forums by ‘topics started’ ‘replies created’ ‘favourites’ ‘subscriptions’, however the latter 3 show both content from sitewide and group forums, yet the ‘topics started’ only shows topics started in group forums.

hopefully I’ll get there in the end :-/

Hi all,

Currently in bbpress, I have it so you can favourite and subscribe to topics. However, when the user does so, it literally changes the ‘favourite’ to ‘favourited’, and I don’t think this is obvious enough for my user base.

How can I modify this to either, add a tick icon for posts you’ve favourited, or give a alert box informing you you’ve successfully favourited / subscribed etc.

It would also be nice, if the user could see at a glance that they’re favourited or subscribed to a topic from the forum it’s self. So while scrolling through new topics, they can see ones that they’ve already favourited etc.

Can’t seem to find anything on this online :-/

any ideas?

[craig]

Hi all,

So I’m now just trying to remove the ‘topic contains’ elements in bbpress, and I’ve used @jshultz ‘s code above in my themes function.php file, but it no longer seems to work.

Would there be an update for this?

Hey

I am looking for forum to install on my wordpress CMS website and was wondering if I install bbpress plugin will it look like this forum ( bbpress.org) on my website or what?

and what’s the difference between bbpress and buddypress?

Hi,
I’m making the big jump to bring my community from SMF to bbPress and everything was going well until I had to create the Groups.

First things first:
– WP version: 3.5.2
– bbPress version: 2.3.2
– site: http://japanzai.com/blog/

So, for a couple days already I was looking on google trying to find what plugin was in charge of groups in bbPress and ended up finding this tutorial: http://labzip.com/the-definitive-guide-to-buddypress-bbpress-configuration/
That’s when, to my surprise, I found out that the Group page was in fact not empty!

About the installation, I followed every steps from the video (whom I, in fact, already did previously by myself when installing bbPress the first time) but still no way to get the Groups page.

Any idea as to where I could’ve messed up? or maybe simply forgot something?
Thanks a lot.

Hi. I’ve recently installed the bbpress plugin on my WordPress site along with BuddyPress. I’ve managed to setup groups and forums as well as topics, but when you click on a topic (as a normal web user) you are directed to a blank white page with <br> in the browser’s tab. Anyone have any ideas about what the error is and how to resolve it? Any help is much appreciated!

Website is here – isparchitecture.com – if you care to take a look.

I’m using the newest bbpress, but this problem exists in all version:
both back-end and front-end, while trashing a reply work out a correct hidden count, deleting a reply makes no change on the hidden count. Is this a bug or just me?

Hello BB’s

I am an beginner when it comes to wordpress/bbpress and have been playing around with it for a little while now.

I am trying to create separate forums on my homepage, seperated by a unique forum/parent/category title like in this image.

http://imageshack.com/scaled/large/853/p8hr.jpg

Does anyone know how/if this is possible.

I am trying (like a lot of you) to make bbpress a bit more like VBulletin and IPBoard, and this is/would be a major layout improvement.

Thanks in advance

P.H.

I’m also having the same problem..

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 461.

[marketmynovel]

I am extremely frustrated with a recent install of bbPress and BuddyPress.

My understanding is that, when you create a forums page with the same name as the bbPress forum slug, this page will show the list of forums.

Mine did not. I finally used a short code on a new page and it gave me a list of forums – though the formatting leaves a lot to be desired.

Unfortunately, every time you click a forum link on the page, it takes you to the listing of forums. You can never access the individual forums to post questions or comments.

Thoughts on how to fix this?

There must be a way to do this. I am in includes/common/template-tags.php

I see:

/** URLs **********************************************************************/

/**
 * Ouput the forum URL
 *
 * @since bbPress (r3979)
 *
 * @uses bbp_get_forums_url() To get the forums URL
 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
 */
function bbp_forums_url( $path = '/' ) {
	echo bbp_get_forums_url( $path );
}
	/**
	 * Return the forum URL
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3979)
	 *
	 * @uses home_url() To get the home URL
	 * @uses bbp_get_root_slug() To get the forum root location
	 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
	 */
	function bbp_get_forums_url( $path = '/' ) {
		return home_url( bbp_get_root_slug() . $path );
	}

/**
 * Ouput the forum URL
 *
 * @since bbPress (r3979)
 *
 * @uses bbp_get_topics_url() To get the topics URL
 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
 */
function bbp_topics_url( $path = '/' ) {
	echo bbp_get_topics_url( $path );
}
	/**
	 * Return the forum URL
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3979)
	 *
	 * @uses home_url() To get the home URL
	 * @uses bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() To get the topics archive location
	 * @param string $path Additional path with leading slash
	 * @return The URL to the topics archive
	 */
	function bbp_get_topics_url( $path = '/' ) {
		return home_url( bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() . $path );
	}

I figure there MUST be a way to add the forum to the topics URL. I’m doing this because I have a action based upon the URL string and need to have all things on that forum associated with that at a URL level. I’m more of the design end than the development end of things and though I see it there I cannot seem to bridge the gap.

I was also reading: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2258 – has there been any progress here?

Customizing this has taken much longer than expected & I’d like to resolve this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
TY

I don’t think this issue is related to bbpress, this seems to be a buddpress problem

[janhoos]

Hey guys!

Just installed bbPress since a week. Loving it so far 🙂 I was wondering, if there was a way where I can let people subscripe to topics, but not have it on by default? Some of the users have complained that they dont want to recieve all that e-email for topics that arent that important.

[prikid]

just noticed: when creating new group and 3rd setup where need to create a group again error appears “Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/stigafnx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/group.php on line 461”

[prikid]

Thanks a lot for your reply John! Nothing really unique, only it’s translated t Russian and have he activity plus plugin.

I’m not familiar with PHP, but i have a feeling this problem is coming from 1.8 Buddypress. I will today install fresh copy of WP, BBpress and buddypress and see if the problem appears. also want to try the previous version of buddypress.

I’ll let you know asap.

Thanks!

what does all these error message mean? i’m new to bbpress. please someone help. thanks.

Error: Missing required field “entry-title”.

Error: Missing required field “updated”.

Error: Missing required hCard “author”.

[pssawhney]

Thank you

[Tecca]

I think the best place to ask would be in the support section for that specific plugin. And if you can’t seem to get it working with/without support, possibly try Yoast’s SEO plugin — I honestly believe it’s the best one around for WordPress.

[pssawhney]

I updated to the latest version of WordPress SEO and when I open my forums none of my threads populate and when I open a topic the most recent thread shows up but no user info or replies populate. I would like to continue using WordPress SEO as a lot of work has been done on it and afraid I will have to change to Ultimate SEO.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am currently using wordpress 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.02
