Your best option will be to post the same as above on https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

They will setup the correct entries for uploading your Persian translations to GlotPress https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev

Make sure you include the language locale eg. ‘fa’ Persian or ‘fa-af’ Persian (Afghanistan)

I think it’s probably there but aligned to the right like mine and was not showing.

Add this to your CSS:

div.bbp-submit-wrapper {
float: left;
}

That piece of code helped me, hopefully it will help you.

I am pretty sure there are a couple of WordPress Sitemap plugins that support bbPress.

This has been fixed in the next release of bbPress 2.3

Hi guys

I have translated about 40% of bbPress (WP Plugin) strings into Persian language but I don’t know how to upload it on bbPress official website.

May you please guide me?
Thanks a lot.

I will take a look at that. We have been using a third party plugin (WP Markdown) for a long time to overcome the issue. I will try deactivating that plugin and see what happens.

Thanks!

Make sure you don’t have any pre-existing or duplicate pages called “Forums” or that use the same URL slug as your forums / bbpress installation. This will cause problems and BBPress may not display. Delete these posts and MAKE SURE TO EMPTY THE TRASH!

If you are using bbPress 2.x it includes TinyMCE support.

If you’re not getting the TInyMCE editor on topic/replies then you need to inspect you plugins and see what might be filtering/disabling the editor.

Hah… somehow I had two mysql database schemas and user accounts. I transitioned to a new one about 8 months ago, which is why the database I was importing from did not have posts since then… Stupid, but, found the problem.

[Erlend]

Thanks for the pointers 🙂 I hope I’ll have something to show soon.

Your customizations should be use child-theme rather then css solution.

1. Create a child-theme. You can use example child theme from Child Theme article
2. Create bbpress folder inside child-theme then create loop-single-topic.php file in bbpress folder
3. You can change all loop display in loop-single-topic.php. I created an example file for you: http://pastebin.com/UqBVADNU
4. Its really easy to change things. I just change some pull-left and pull-rights classes. Play with it 🙂

It looks like the issue can be created by:

1. Converting my vbulletin database to bbpress
2. Turning on buddypress
3. Make a new parent forum for the groups. ( Usually called it “The Nation”)
4. Select group forums to be placed in “The Nation” in the buddypress options
5. Create 2 groups.
6. Move/create topic in each group.

You will see each group will share the same topics. If I make a new group, that group will have all the topics of the previous groups.

It’s not duplicating the topics, but rather the group forums just contain every thread from other group forums.

Buddypress 2.7 beta 2

Here’s a first take on a layout I’d much prefer:

https://i.imgur.com/tLX4lvD.png

• I think you’ll rarely, if ever, use the pagination from the forum index. This is an in-topic sort of operation. So, I removed it.
• It’s still important to give an idea of how crowded a topic is, so I show the # of the last reply which indicates how many replies there are in total in the topic.
• The “reply #” button would take you to the last reply of the topic. Oftentimes you’ve already visited the topic before, so you know what the topic is about already and you just want to skip to the last reply/page.
• I’ve made a 2-part division between {topic title}, {topic author}, {topic category} and {reply link}, {freshness}, {reply author}.
• At the bottom of each of the example sites is a lightweight example, excluding authors to conserve space.

Update to your update: No the fluid width itself is not a problem. I just think you could display the forum data in a more balanced and informative way than what you’re currently doing.

I’ve been playing around with the theme lately. I can’t seem to figure out how to make the promotion bar and showcase text show up. What are the required conditions for these items to be displayed?

You just mark posts or pages with clicking stars on edit panels:

If you are using full content layout, promotionbar should be set for Before Content  or In Site Footer. Its set in In top of Sidebar as default.

Also the posts loop could still use some work imo, especially on wide sites:

View post on imgur.com

There’s way too much empty space below that title. I’m gonna suggest some mockups.

This is why i love Responsive design: http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/scaffolding.html#responsive
You can change loop with

/* Large desktop */
@media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }

If you ask me, its not bad looking tbh. Its clean but if you can explain me how it can be better for large desktops with full content (long) layout, i can help you to accomplish that design.

Update: Maybe this is what you are looking for: Want responsive but not wide not for large screens?

Hi friends,
Hope you are doing great. Just came across a simple problem with bbPress that How do I Generate a Sitemap for My bbPress Forum? Is there any way to make it happen? I want to generate a sitemap in which all the topic categories and tags to be listed.

My site: softstribe.com which is using custom permalinks %category%/%postname%/.

Thanks in advance.

[Spudnic]

Im kind of confused at how the HTMl tags work with bbpress.

For admin users all the tags work, but for other users a majority of the tags dont work, specifically the underline tag. ive also noticed that for the ol and ul there is no style, IE: dots or numbers.

• test
• test
• test

It seems to work fine on this forum.

[mikebronner]

Hi all,

I need to get the user ID of the profile being viewed. How can I achieve this on the bbpress profile page?

Thanks!
~Mike

.bbPress #sidebar should work.
In forum pages you get a .bbPress class inside the body tag (check you have it on bbPress pages).

See if that works, good luck!

[Lynq]

You could create a php widget will allows you to input code and then insert that as a separate widget to the bbPress login. Or you could code it into the top or bottom of your sidebar and add all the code you require to create the bbPress login widget and alter it slightly to have an edit profile link.

Good luck!

[Lynq]

In this topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/customising-bbp_list_forums-last-poster-block/ I have customised the subforum list to show a last poster block, I have also customised it to change the look of the subforums. It should you on the way to getting what you want.

Good luck!

I have a snitz forum on an access database, which I am trying to import into BBpress. (basically I am taking over an old website and redoing it in wordpress)

Wordpress is 3.5.1 and BBpress 2.2.4
site is http://www.gospbc.co.uk)

I have tailored the example convertor and saved it as smitz.php in the right folder (it is coming up on the list)

q1 where in my my site do I put the .mdb that I have. I have tried the root but the import doesn’t seem to find a database,
q2 in the import what do I answer to
database server -do i leave as localhost or do I need to put a directory path in?
database name : do i put xx.mdb or just xx?
Database user and password – the access database has no username or password – do i just leave these fields blank?

At the moment all I get is :

Conversion Complete

No replies to convert

No tags to convert

No topics to convert

No forum parents to convert

No forums to convert

Starting Conversion

so it can’t be finding the database

Any ideas to progress please?

[JoeMadden1989]

Hi,

While trying to convert my Vbuliten forum into bbpress when i hit the conversion button the starting conversion appears but unfortunally nothing accully happeneds. I could have entered bogus database connections detials and still get the same results. With correct results its stuck on the same part with no database progress.

Thank you for any ideas.

Joe.

This is probably a dumb question, and you’ll point me to a much easier solution!

Also I am still very new to wordpress, so understand a little of css and php’s but not tons. I’ll use thing and thingy a lot as well, so as not to embarrass myself with the wrong technical terms.

I am using bbpress 2.2.4 on WordPress 3.5.1 with a twentyten child theme that does a few minor mods.

Welcome

I am setting up a forum, but don’t want users to see the WordPress toolbar, as this is outside the theme.

But I do want users to be able to change their password and details.

I am using the bbpress login widget in the bbpress sidebar, and by clicking the avatar or their username, users can get to a theme friendly profile page that lets them do just this.

However clicking the avatar is not instinctive, and I’d like (in the absence of a more obvious solution) to add a thingy to the bbpress sidebar that says “amend profile/change password” which when clicked takes you to the same place that clicking the avatar does (or some similar solution)

From searching on the forums, I have found the line within the widget that does this for the avatar (around line 140) which looks like

a href=”” class=”submit user-submit”><?php echo get_avatar( bbp_get_current_user_id(), '40' ); ?
But have no idea how to then use this or other code to achieve the goal.

Any good ideas, or is there a very basic solution I’ve missed.

Thanks
