@JohnJamesJacoby, Thanks very much for confirming this! I found the ticket you created with a solution: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4657

I’ll probably go ahead and push this through later today, great work and Merry Christmas!

So,, there’s no plan so far.. thanks for letting me know. 🙂
I just decided to follow your advice and adjusted CSS to the img tags in the activity stream contents.
Thank you for the fast reply!

Hi guys and gals.

Right know I use the BBpress log in widget to log users in, but I would like to integrate it with Facebook login.

The thing I would miss if I give up the BBpress log in widget is that then the user presses his name, it redirect the user to is BBpress profile (Not the WordPress controlpanel)

That is the best way to solve this?

Regards Nicolai.

Hi @rkarel,

Welcome to the forums. If I understand correctly, to do what you want, you’ll likely need to dive into the templates and start writing some custom code.

bbPress comes with a very basic set of templates to get you started, so that you can quickly get started using it. Once you want to customize the look and feel, it’s very similar to WordPress, where you’ll need custom code to do it.

Check out the documentation to get started. There are lots of hints and tips in there.

I am going to use a lot of categories and subcategory in the BBPress forums, how can I make displaying the most recent 15 subcategories’s topics in my categories? For example, the main forum’s page displays [bbp-forum-index] and [bbp-topic-index] , if I am goint to category’s page, this page displays only subcategories, and i want to display resent topics under list of subcategories! Sorry for my English 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

Confirmed the bug. It’s fixed in trunk, and will be part of bbPress 2.3 in January.

Sorry about that.

@rigormortis_uk – The Moderator role.

Users can have multiple roles; in this case one for the site, and one specifically for the forums.

[John James Jacoby]

This isn’t a testing site, so I’m closing this topic.

If you have ideas for improvement to the site, create a ticket and include some details/mocks/CSS.

Thanks for the feedback.

[John James Jacoby]

No plans, but could be done. Since the BuddyPress activity streams contain full HTML in each item, it’s a bit of a mess to change the visual layout. You could use some targeted CSS to improve it, but until we move to having callbacks for the items, it’s pretty limited what customizations you can do.

I’m currently using the most recent version of WP + BP + BBpress together with great satisfaction.

In my site, I’m using bbpress as graphics forum, so the participants usually post lots of topics/replies with image contents with img tags.

The issue is that the images are all shown in buddypress activity stream having the original widths/heights, so the activity stream, which is supposed to be brief and simple, are all messed up with huge photos and images.

I wonder if it’s the special behavior of my site, or a normal behavior.
And if it’s the normal behavior of bbpress, I’m curious to know is there a future plan for inserting the image resizing function in activity stream.

Thanks for reading! Merry Christmas to all. 🙂

Anyway to get Arabic version for bbpress 2.2.3?
Any language pack ?!

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes, a vBulletin importer is included with bbPress.

See https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ to help get you started.

Currently I have been using the bbpress.css file for most of my color changes. However its a little tricky sometimes to figure out which color belongs to what.

Could somebody please tell me where I can change the font color of when a person is replying to a post. As in, the color of the text I am currently typing at this moment. I changed the background color to a darker shade but now the text is being washed out and I can’t seem to locate where to change it.

Here is a picture of what I mean:

Hello,
is it possible to move my vbulletin datbase (Topics/Replies/Members/Ect) to bbPress ?

[Ommy]

Hi there

I actually dont have any problems with bbpress but I wish in next versions there is a choise for seperate blockes for different categories.
Also, is there a way for forums to have theme like group forums?
Thanks a lot

[Lynq]

If you go into pages and add a new page called, forum-registration or whatever. Then add the shortcode – [bbp-register] – this will create a page for you containing the forum registration. Then you can link to that page anywhere in your bbPress or WordPress theme.

Good luck!

[Lynq]

Do you have a seperate loop for replies? I have a loop-replies and a loop-topics.

So inside loop-replies you could set the header as answers and then inside loop-topics you can set the header as Answer. It all depends on how your template is setup.

OK, in the absence of any input, I’ve been firebug fishing for a way of selectively removing all the bullets from bbpress, but not from my main theme. To the the next guy or girl who searches for a resolution to this, I hope this works for you too – it has finally brought me success.

#bbpress-forums ul > li:before
{
content: none;
}

[aaclayton]

I’ve tried a few other odds and ends to sort this out, but it seems like the problem is simply that reply edits aren’t saving revisions to the posts DB. I don’t use any plugins that could be causing this disconnect. Is it possible this is simply something that is happening within bbPress core? Probably not, because I didn’t see any other reports of this issue, but maybe nobody has noticed?

Can someone else using WP 3.5 and BBP 2.2.3 confirm that reply revision logging is working on their install?

[RiGoRmOrTiS_UK]

so if:

Admin = Keymaster
Editor = Participant
Author = Participant
Contributor = Participant
Subscriber = Participant

Then which role do we assign to make someone a forum moderator??

[fredwier]

Hi,

After installing BBpress, activating the plug-in and creating a forum and when I want to show the forum on my site I got the error-message:

“Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/112werkforum.nl/public_html/112werkforum/wp-content/themes/daily/functions.php on line 240”

Anyone, any idea or suggestion ?

Thanks, Fred

Hi BBPress Community,

I’ve got a fairly significant problem that I haven’t even noticed until today. No reply revisions are being saved to my Posts table since the beginning of December. I’m trying to think back to what I was changing on the site at that time and the only thing that springs to mind is the 2.2.3 update for bbPress. Checking the dates on Revisions from topics and other post types are saved without any issue.

I use define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 1); in my wp-config and this has worked just fine for me in the past.

I’ve poked around some, but I’m pretty stumped as to why this is happening. Could it be a permissions issue that prevents “Participants” from saving reply revisions?

I could really use some help on this one… not being able to see that a post was edited is causing some problems for my community 🙁

Thanks for the hint provided by @Rafael. I would like to add here that in order to keep the change in tact, it is better to edit it through our functions.php file in our theme directory so that even if bbpress gets updated, our changes remain intact. So I created these two functions along add_filter functions:

/**
 * The main forum loop. THIS IS CUSTOMISED TO ORDERBY TITLE INSTEAD OF MENU_ID
 *
 * WordPress makes this easy for us.
 *
 * @since bbPress (r2464)
 *
 * @param mixed $args All the arguments supported by {@link WP_Query}
 * @uses WP_Query To make query and get the forums
 * @uses bbp_get_forum_post_type() To get the forum post type id
 * @uses bbp_get_forum_id() To get the forum id
 * @uses get_option() To get the forums per page option
 * @uses current_user_can() To check if the current user is capable of editing
 *                           others' forums
 * @uses apply_filters() Calls 'bbp_has_forums' with
 *                        bbPres::forum_query::have_posts()
 *                        and bbPres::forum_query
 * @return object Multidimensional array of forum information
 */
function mybbp_has_forums( $args = '' ) {
	$bbp = bbpress();

	// Setup possible post__not_in array
	$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

	// Check if user can read private forums
	if ( current_user_can( 'read_private_forums' ) )
		$post_stati[] = bbp_get_private_status_id();

	// Check if user can read hidden forums
	if ( current_user_can( 'read_hidden_forums' ) )
		$post_stati[] = bbp_get_hidden_status_id();

	// The default forum query for most circumstances
	$defaults = array (
		'post_type'      => bbp_get_forum_post_type(),
		'post_parent'    => bbp_is_forum_archive() ? 0 : bbp_get_forum_id() ,
		'post_status'    => implode( ',', $post_stati ),
		'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 50 ),
		'orderby'        => 'title',
		'order'          => 'ASC'

	$bbp_f = bbp_parse_args( $args, $defaults, 'has_forums' );

add_filter('bbp_has_forums','mybbp_has_forums');

//this is CUSTOMIZED to just get the subforums ordered by title instead of menu_id

function myybbp_forum_get_subforums( $args = '' ) {

	// Use passed integer as post_parent
	if ( is_numeric( $args ) )
		$args = array( 'post_parent' => $args );

	// Setup possible post__not_in array
	$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

	// Super admin get whitelisted post statuses
	if ( is_super_admin() ) {
		$post_stati = array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_private_status_id(), bbp_get_hidden_status_id() );

	// Not a super admin, so check caps
	} else {

		'orderby'        => 'title',

	);
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, $defaults, 'forum_get_subforums' );
	$r['post_parent'] = bbp_get_forum_id( $r['post_parent'] );

	// No forum passed
	$sub_forums = !empty( $r['post_parent'] ) ? get_posts( $r ) : '';

	return apply_filters( 'mybbp_forum_get_sub_forums', (array) $sub_forums, $args );
}
add_filter('bbp_forum_get_sub_forums','mybbp_forum_get_sub_forums');

This may not be elegant solution but it saves us from the annoying impacts on bbpress updates.

I would love to hear from developers on this forum on how best this can be implemented without copy-pasting the entire function just to change one small variable and then giving it a new function name and then adding filters. Is there a better way, friends?

[Stephen Edgar]

You will need to contact the theme authors as this is not a bbPress issue. http://www.themewich.com/forum

[flyingcolour]

works perfect for me.
