bbPress 2.3 Beta worked correctly! Thanks very much!
@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?
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?
Thanks much! Will check it out
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
Will the Quote function be included in bbPress v2.3 ?
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 🙂
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?
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.
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.
https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
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.
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,
last few days I have problem with my bbPress forum. When I am sending new reply, there will show 502 error page. Have someone other met with this problem?
Thank you.
@johnjamesjacoby
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!
Hey! I’ve just installed bbPress v2.3 beta 2 ( https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/02/bbpress-2-3-beta-2/ ) and it has fixed this problem!
I don’t know if the fix to the first bug (included in this v2.3 beta 2) help fixed this issue, but I no longer have this issue on my live site!
Yay!
I’m having the same problem,
This plugin will solve half the problem:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-notify/
But I need to be able to choose if a post will send out an email as I only want ones from a specific user to send out a notification
I’ve just discovered that this is an issue due to WP e-commerce, at least in my case! I posted in WP e-commerce forum a similar request, and I’m interested in understanding better WHY this happens. If possible remove the interference as well.
Thank you.
Hi Jared
yes, Akismet is running fine.
it was enabled in bbpress and the problem was there, I have disabled it in bbpress forum settings, and the problem still exists.
could w3 total cache be to blame?
I’m not saying there is anything wrong with the members plugin, I just have not needed it. Like you I prefer code as I need to support multiple sites. And looking in the actual DB tends to provide a more reliable view of what is really going on.
The original post of this topic could do with some clarification though, and then put up as proper bbPress doc.

@aberglas Thanks for clearing up about WP not storing caps directly on users. I must have misread that somewhere.
Anyway, you say that you haven’t used the Members plugin. Personally I try to avoid using the UI for any configuration (prefer to modify things with code). But the Members plugin is invaluable, and it really should be part of core. – Along with that fix to allow saving multiple roles. 🙂

For my own purpose I need to let all registered users upload images directly into posts in the forum. So the attachments plugin isn’t an attractive solution for me. Especially not after the new media manager made uploading such a breeze.
The Author role is a WP role and not a bbPress role right? I manage WP roles with the Members plugin, but I assume the problem can’t be related to which WP role the user has, because only switching the bbPress role (“participant” -> “keymaster”) fixes the problem. Meaning that no changes in core WP capabilities or roles were needed.
Anyway, I’ll try to tweak the bbPress roles to debug this problem and made this thread about that (Weird behaviour modifying bbp_get_caps_for_role() in core/capabilities.php).
Thanks for helping out!
Use a filter instead of hacking bbPress core, that way you don’t lose your work when a new update comes out.
In this case look at the `bbp_get_the_content()` function in `includes/common/template-tags.php`. You can use `bbp_parse_args()` to filter all the default values 🙂
