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:
http://www.hippressurecooking.com/5-cant-miss-pressure-cooker-chicken-recipes/
GET /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.3.2 HTTP/1.1
Any way for me to block this call so that I don’t use-up unnecessary resources for my website and risk getting kicked off my shared server?
Thanks,
L
i am not affiliated w tehnik plugin in any way, nor am i selling anything, i am co-dev of PanoPress (which is totally free) but no connection to any of the plugins i mentioned here other than using them on my own sites
i am just trying to help out here as i had been beating my head against this same prob recently, i’ve seen lots of non-working solutions suggested in this forum, and the bbpress devs do not always have time for these issues π
also, i want to encourage development and use of this plugin, and hopefully see better integration of restricting forums to a particular user role in future versions of bbpress, which is a critical missing feature for me

When I attempt to purge the forum data via Tools > Forums > Reset Forums, the reset page seems to process, then refresh, but there is no error or success message, and the forum data is untouched. This is the case regardless of whether or not I check the “This process cannot be undone” box.
We’re also running bbPress reCaptcha v.1.1, if that might be an issue?
Bear with me. Very new to this.
I just installed bbpress 2.3.2 via the plugin directory in my wp site. Works fine from what I can tell.
I have a custom site and I want to make a few layout tweaks to my forum pages (eliminate sidebar, yadda, yadda). I am currently hosting my site locally using MAMP so I can blow things up with impunity. Don’t know if that matters, but I’m putting it out there.
Here’s the deal: I made a child directory on my theme and the many step-by-steps said I have to put it in my plugins > bbpress > themes folder.
I go there and SURPRISE! No themes folder.
Am I missing something?
make sure you have members and tehnik plugin installed and activated
see the Tehnik bbPress Permissions page for more info
http://www.tehnik-design.com/tehnik-bbpress-forum-permissions/
use the content premissions pane (from members plugin) on the forum edit page to control which roles can access that forum
try the User Switching plugin to confirm other roles can see what they are supposed to see

Bump
What’s up with this issue folks? I’m using the “(bbPress) Recent Topicsβ Widget also for clarity.
Just to show the people who can code..
This is what I would like to do with a little bit of CSS and JS without adding my own <textarea> and BBcode buttons.

Real Pixels
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.
Just before the textarea and toolbar buttons WP or bbPress adds an stylesheet <link stylesheet .. blablabla.. > for styling the buttons and stuff like that.
How do I remove this ?
I want to style my own buttons inside the theme stylesheet not a custom-editor-buttons-stylesheet.css
I think it’s much better if bbPress gets it’s own toolbar , just like a comments-form instead of using the back-end stuff on the front-end.
this has been discussed several times recently on this site, see these topics –
Forum visible to specific role
which plugin can I integrate membership site into forum?
this is the specific plugin that (alongside members) alows restricting forums and child topics/replies to a specific WP user role

also look through the topic tags i added to this thread

Read it here..
bbpress and child theme
You need to follow the path inside the files until you find <?php bbp_freshness_link() ;?> inside all the bbPress templates files.
Files are located inside the bbpress folder.
Copy and paste the template files you would like to edit from the bbPress plugins folder to your theme folder.
The Forum ‘ home-page ‘ is known as an Archive template.
archive-forum.php
wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / extras / archive-forum.php
Copy it to your theme folder.
wp-content / themes / [ your_theme_name ] / here
screenshot! – Remember don’t Drag-/Drop it over but Copy-/Paste it.

Please ask your question at the BuddyPress forums. This is bbPress only.
https://buddypress.org/support/
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.
An image will show you better..

I Installed the latest WP then next-to-the-latest bbPress.
I imported my db from phpBB. There should be a Private forum available only to those I allow, and a Hidden forum with the same setup.
I can’t figure out how to hide these from all except those who have permission (Roles set via Members plugin).
Or, if they must show, can you recommend a password protection plugin? This way they need credetnials to get in.
My header and footer design is collapsed.my design is now a mess where can i change the style
have you checked your bbpress forum settings page, or looked at the bbpress instructions ?
https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/
Lock post editing after
Set this to the time (in number of minutes) to limit post editing. Once the time limit has been reached the forum post no longer be available for editing to forum participants. Administrators and bbPress Moderators can override this setting at any time.
I can help you with the second issue.
First, make a copy of the bbPress folder and search for ‘bbp_get_forum_pagination_count‘ in Explorer.
If you don’t get any results at first, make sure you’ve turned on text search for .php files:
1) Open the bbPress folder:
ALT key -> Tools -> Folder options -> Search tab -> Always search file names and contents
2) Make sure that .php files are included in file content searches:
Windows Start menu -> Type ‘Indexing Options and press return -> Advanced -> File types -> php -> Index properties and File Contents -> On
The result of the search should be:
bbpress/includes/topics/template-tags.php
Now, locate the function ‘bbp_get_forum_pagination_count‘ and remove the ‘Viewing topic…’ code.
If you also want to rempove it from searches, please search for ‘bbp_get_search_pagination_count‘ and repeat the procedure.
I hope this helps!
I have a goal to vertically display in bullet format the last 5 latest forum topic titles with reply count and last reply date.
I took at stab at it and here is the pastebin: =>
Hi, you might want to try the bbPress integration with eMember plugin. It’s easier to set up.
I am Currently using vbulletin for my Webmaster Forum website. I would like to shift to bbPress. I want to know is there any support available for auto link conversion such as ones available by other forum software?
Regards.

We would like to completely hide the freshness column throughout the forums. Could you please point me to other documentation or to the code to remove/hide freshness?
WP version 3.5.1
bbpress version 2.3.2

Remapping users does not do jack to the Adm menu problem, not for me. I even disabled ALL plug ins that were mounted before bbPress. Still no forum menu (used to have it), no direct way to get to topics from there, it’s a mess I call it. I’m beginning to think that bbPress is the problem plug in, not the other way around.
