Hi – i’ve been trying out various options for setting up a forum within/alongside wordpress.
It looks like my final choice will be bbPress – however I still seem to have one outstanding issue that I can’t seem to solve (have done plenty of searching as well).

The install is fresh today with current versions of wordpress & bbPress – no other plugins are currently enabled & i’m just using the twenty twelve theme at the moment.

I have set up a registration page using the registration short code.
When you submit a registration, it takes you to the WP-admin login page…i’d prefer to keep the user in the front end at all times & direct them to a landing page to say thank you & check your inbox.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Tom

I just installed WP 3.5.1 and BBpress 2.3 and I can’t see the new forum listed at the top of the main page. I have admin access OK. I can get to the forum by typing the url in. Have I done something obviously wrong?

[nick robinson]

How do I enlarge or alter the colour of these tags?

I’ve added this code to the end of bbpress.css without luck

#bbp-forum-title {
font-size: 16px;
}

Are they picking up the h3 style after this css is processed?

I’ve released V1.6 of the bbPress Moderation plugin to workaround the changes in bbPress 2.3

Any problems – let me know.

Hello People of BBPress Support..

Im creating forums for a website. The problem is, the theme is a bit dark, so i was wondering if their was a theme for BBpress that also made it dark.

Like a dark background with the font being white so the words stand out…

Because at the moment, the buttons are white, and when i change the skin, the text turns white as well. This makes some obvious problems because you can’t read what is written…

Forums are at http://legendofsky.com/forums/forum/community-forums/

thanks for the help!

I have the very same issue and to make it clear: i’m using Origin theme too, and the breadcrumbs on topic page have a link to forums list (works fine) and to forum which those topic belongs (don’t work).

Even creating a blank page with the shortcode [bbp-topic-index], how to use same slug (WordPress automatically puts a number 2 in the end)?

Forums list (working fine) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/
Forum (not working) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/forum/sega-mega-drive-genesis
Topic (working fine) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/topic/super-monaco-gp/

Thanks in advance.

Could you update to bbPress v2.3 and see if the issue goes away?

[Robin W]

I used “Bbpress wp-tweaks” it creates a bbpress sidebar that is used on the forum pages.
You could also use “Widget logic” – allows conditional statements on widgets to produce page or category specific sidebar content. Using the logic “is_bbpress()” allows sidebar specific content. “!is_bbpress()” excludes widgets from forum pages.

Jared, thank you so much for your reply! I will try it now. Bots were quiet for a while, but it started again! Thanks!!!

This weeks question & answer:

theme customize

Question Summary: How to add custom css to all widgets?

Solution: In our theme, you can target all widgets with article.widget. An example:

article.widget {
	background: #fff;
	border-radius: 6px;
	margin: 10px;
	padding: 10px;
	box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.3) 0 1px 3px;
}

The doc I linked shows how to setup your local bbPress install to use your language. I wasn’t referring to how to get them in the official project.

Ok thank You very much! No I am able to see the panel!
Only a thing, I hope in this way that I’ll not receive automated publications spam submissions…

Worked for me too. Thanks so much for finding and sharing that!

For those who don’t have Forums, Topics, and Replies in the admin menus, I got mine to show by checking the “Auto role” setting in Settings->Forums.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-tabs-no-longer-show/#post-133549

Can someone explain in what situations this setting should be unchecked vs checked?

Thanks

[webheadcoder]

I just figured it out. I found a bunch of other topics on this and found a hint at: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-3-default-role-not-assigned/

Basically I went to Settings->Forums and checked the “Auto role” checkbox that says “Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.”. After checking this the Forums, Topics, Replies menus showed up and my user was assigned a role. I then unchecked the Auto role setting since it was originally unchecked. not sure if it should be checked or unchecked in the long term.

[studiowowo]

At the first I’m sorry about my English… 🙁
Once I updated to 2.3, the admin menus for Forums, Topics, and Replies disappeared from the administration.
Before upgrade all works fine!
I can not answer the questions of my users now …

Does anyone else having this problem?

Thank You in advance!

Denni

I totally agree, this is a much needed function and is included in the majority of forums software. I am constantly asked for this and I cannot do anything about it. I really hope this ships with bbpress2 in the near future and I hope that developers of this great software take my request and the OP’s request to heart. The proof is in the pudding so to speak, if you look at the votes on this page you will see most people voting for BBPM to be updated for bbpress http://nightgunner5.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/bbpm-plugin-plugin/

this is a necessary update we all need.

Hello.

I am having the same problem. Forums appear on my site at this link http://www.enlightentogether.com/forums

But when clicking further there is a blank page. I added a topic which I am able to see when I insert the shortcode in a page so the problem may be the theme? I have heard other users say insert a shortcode into pages so the forum works properly but I am completely clueless on how to do this.

Do you know of any video tutorials relating specifically to inserting shortcodes for forums or articles? I have seen tutorials for inserting shortcodes for all kinds of things but not bbpress.

Hi Guys,
this might sound easy to achieve but I am newbie 😀

how can I change the sidebar of the forum.
I have created (registred) a new sidebar named it ” forum “.
I went to : plugins\bbpress\templates\default\extras and edited this: into this :

But it’s still showing the sidebar of the default wordpress pages.
am I editing the right files?

Thanks for your help.

I’m setting up a new site running bbpress with buddypress. I’ve managed to import over 5000 users and about 100,000 topics/replies (e107 > SMF > phpBB > bbpress … whew!)

Working on cleaning up some details and I’m wondering if there is a consensus on what is the optimal permalink structure for a site like this that will have a lot of user posts.

I’m leaning toward the “Day and name” setting:
`http://www mywebsite com/2013/04/21/sample-post/`
Just because it’s a forum based website and it might make sense to help with chronology.

It doesn’t seem to me like this setting would be all that important… but, you never know… so that’s why I’m asking 🙂

When i have bbPress 2.3 enabled i get this error in my feeds:
Warning: Illegal offset type in /home/XXXXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1503

I am using WP 3.5.2 and have tested without any plugins enabled, as soon as i enable bbPress 2.3 the error appears.

My site is at http://www.arctic-websolutions.com

Is it possible that because i use an array to call several posttypes for my feeds this conflicts with bbPress 2.3, any idea?

Thanks

[Scott Wyden Kivowitz]

@webheadllc still happening for you?

[Zeokat]

I instaled bbPress 2.3 on WordPress 3.5.1 but the forum urls are not found.

In the other hand i cant find any bb-press config file anywhere, where is bb-press config file?
