I would do the import without any other plugins for bbPress enabled to ensure you have what you expect without the chance of things like that happening.

Also bbPress Moderation plugin has some compatibility issues with bbPress 2.3.

[maggieymae]

Hi Again, I figured it out. It was a plugin called bbPress Moderation. Apparently the plug in considers all the imported topics to be worthy of moderation but there is no way to approve them. lol Interesting.

I spoke too soon… the backend looks like everything is connected coorrectly- forums-posts- users. The front end shows something similar to this on all forum pages

This forum contains 11 topics and 19 replies, and was last updated etc…

Oh bother! No topics were found here!

@hoppare can you tell me how did you put the avatars at the left of the post? and how did you do the image categories? and the images for each user role? 

 

please help the bbpress community and help me too.. thanks

[steelmaiden]

I run a WordPress 3.5.1 Multisite and when i enable bbpress pluigin on my parent site the server goes crazy to over 100 (usually its below 2).

What could be the reason for this?

http://geek.hr is the website.

Thank you

You could add some media queries to your CSS and use something like:

`
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
width: 20px;
height: auto;
`

No, it hasn’t made it for bbPress 2.3, I have not tried them but there are a couple of quotes plugins.

@ Zilveer,
Thanks for this info. Very concise and direct. I am actually ok with the type of font (Trebuchet MS), but the coloring is bad for me.

Can I change the font colors for just the BBpress forum under the bbpress.css? Or will I need to edit some code in the style.css?

Thanks for the fast response.

Love this community!

[maggieymae]

bbPress 2.3 Beta worked correctly! Thanks very much!

[zilveer]

@pantheism: you need to go to your file located at:

http://pantheismnow.org/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.2.4

And after that change the line 28:

background-color: #FBFBFB;

to whatever you want for the background color.

Have you worked with CSS before?

You can change the font family at line 14 located in the file:
http://pantheismnow.org/wp-content/themes/autumn-almanac/style.css

You are using “Trebuchet MS” for the moment.

I am trying to figure out how to change colors on my BBpress forum. Specifically the big white block seen on it.

http://pantheismnow.org/forums/

I also need to change most of the font colors too. Any thoughts on that? What php file are these font colors linked too?

Can anyone advise?

[Pantheism]

Ugg, tried a few CSS codes, but no luck so far. Have not done website design in about 15 years. LOL.

I saw some info about editing the PHP files in BBpress to remove reference to the sidebar. Any idea what files I need to adjust to do it that way?

[maggieymae]

Thanks much! Will check it out

[Pantheism]

Can anyone advise me on the CSS I would use to remove the sidebars from my BBpress forum. It is pulling the sidebars from my theme, and I would like them removed.

Here is my forum URL…
http://pantheismnow.org/forums/

I wuold also like to make the width 100% too. Any chance I can get that code too?

Thanks everyone.

Hello,

first of all thanks for a great plugin.

I did a research to see what is the new features of bbPress v2.3 but I cannot really fint it out.
What is the new features of version 2.3?

And does someone know if the quote function for replies/topics be implemented in that version?

regards

[zilveer]

Will the Quote function be included in bbPress v2.3 ?

[bdsweat]

The “half of the screen” problem is pretty bad 🙁

We’re just setting up bbPress (migrating an old phpBB forum) and the big avatar problem is annoying. We’re using the “Responsive” theme (themeid.com) and it’s really great on mobile, except for the bbPress pages.

One option might be to hide avatars on mobile. I think that would be a workaround if there’s not a simple way to make the avatars shrink. Of course, I’d rather have them shown at 50% or so 🙂

Hi,

I try to figure out how to limit the rss feed of bbpress to only X letters ?

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks a lot.

[bruceleebee]

Did you end up finding a solution to this? I’m trying to do the exact same thing.

I have found a few threads from 4 or 5 years ago, and supposedly someone wrote a plugin for an old version of bbpress that can do this. But BBpress has gone through some serious changes (for the best) and now operates as a plugin for wordpress not a stand alone platform – so they no longer work.

Does anyone know of a plugin/rewrite rules/functions.php code we can use to make this a reality?

[Debra]

Just chiming in here for the record. My knowledge of code and plugins is novice at best and I’m afraid I will not be of any help.

I received these 404 errors with a fresh install of bbPress a little over a week ago. My membership plugin, Digital Access Pass, kept tripping it up. The DAP support team did some testing and could not come up with a solution for me. They suggested I use the fix from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-404-issue-for-bbpress-2-2-x/ until something else could be figured out.

[Stephen Edgar]

Give the bbPress 2.3 Beta a shot, everything you mention is fixed except user passwords.

bbPress 2.3 Beta 2

The only outstanding issue is imported vBulletin users have to manually reset their password.

After the import you have to run the ‘Repair Tools’ to recount the topics and replies otherwise they will not be visible in the front-end.

When using the integrated importer, the users don’t make it over. It takes 2 tries to get the replies. Everything is attributed to admin. When viewing the forums in the front end the forum reports the number of topics etc but nothing is listed. When I use the external plugin bbConverter, everything except the replies are transferred and the boards do show correctly in the front end. If I try to import the replies with the integrated importer after the fact everything gets duplicated and the contents are jumbled with wrong user/wrong post after the counting is done. I’m giving these details since I have been browsing the messages here looking for a solution and it seems you might be interested in hearing about issues. I look forward to when it all comes together. Thanks for trying to make this happen for everyone.

[Nathan Pinno]

Hey there everyone!

I would like to request separate reading and posting permissions for forums. I would like to do so because I like setting some forums for admins and the other staff to post in, but enabling the members and guests to read these posts.

Such an addition to bbPress would be awesome.

Thanks for considering my idea,
Nathan P.

Hello,

Thank you.

Good god man, thank you for posting this. Everything I was reading told me I needed to edit the database manually…I never knew of the Forum Tools. A couple of clicks and everything is fixed. Thank you endlessly!
