Hi there !

I’m having a curious behavior with bbpress.
I’ve setup everything, works fine.
I just can’t see the first message of each post.

Then once inside :

When I’m logged as an admin, I can see the first message.
Any thoughts ?

Thanks for any hint 🙂

Ok simple question… What file/s do I need to add code to so it affects every bbpress page?

style type = ‘text/css’>#breadcrumbs { display: none !important; }/style>

Sorry, couldn’t work out how to display code without it hiding style tags

I created a forum by bbpress but it isn’t appear.
I can not fix it.
My forum an my topic:

There is one “must have” plugin missing on 2.x, what worked well on 1.x -> unread post plugin. Its already discussed under this topic https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-view-unread-posts-plugin/

In 3 words describing – when users logs in it sees unread topics in different color (new topics and topics with new replies counting from last user visit). When he enters topic its automaticaly redirected to last unread post inside topic.
Old 1.x source code you can see here -> http://paste.php.lv/720a5c85e7a31f117a104d2a14ce368f?lang=php its just one file.

On bbPress 1.x there was similar theme called “WP mimic” (sample how it looks in production you can check from http://forums.kupla.lv). So if you are happy with bbPress 1.x version, you can use that.

I`m wondering has somebody ported it or something similar to 2.x version?

I’m so new to this and am by no means a website programmer or expert. I have the daunting task of updating our church website.

http://www.genchurch.ca

My problem is I installed bbpress and I have everything setup as I would think it should be and when I go to the front end and click on the forum, it gives me a 404 page not found error. I cannot figure out what I’m missing. If you visit our website above, under GCBS is “Bible School Discussions”.

I am running WP 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.1.2

I have created a forum, and a topic but I get the error when I click on the forum’s link. (Bible School Discusion). Please offer any suggestions from simple to complex….I just have no clue.

Please Help!! 🙁

Sure thing. bbPress.org uses a plugin called wp-markdown 🙂

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-markdown/

[wpmhweb]

I started the theme from scratch once again and now it seems to be working. Thanks,

Quick question: Are you guys using a plugin for the fancy editor in bbPress forums with live preview? I would really like to use it.

Thanks again,

[Jared Atchison]

It should be ok, but just for grins if you switch you theme to the default TwentyEleven does that make it reappear?

[ntmedia]

Yes, that`s the right plugin, but i insert the code manuelly at loop-single-reply.php of bbpress right after the reply-content is called.

Thanks for your help

hey mate,

this is precisely the kind of overly simplistic response which turns people off using bbPress. Your suggestion is pretty much contained in the bbPress documentation already and is less than useful.

Sure, you need to copy bbpress.css to the right directory and edit it. But what you fail to mention, and what is mentioned nowhere in the bbPress documentation, is that many of the font specifications are not actually listed in that CSS file — you need to puzzle out the CSS entry yourself and add a new CSS entry, not edit an old one, to change the font size.

I spent three hours working this out last night. The correct entry is:

bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,

bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {

    font-size: 12px;

}

I have seen this same response from the moderators on the bbPress forum dozens of times as I searched it last night. This same arrogance — ‘just copy the CSS file and edit it’. Technically you’re right, but without any detail or documentation around bbPress, this suggestion comes across as the contempt of an experienced web developer for someone who is, in their eyes, a ‘n00b’.

I operate a major WordPress site and edit its CSS files daily. And yet, the CSS for bbPress is hideously complex and hard to understand. I suggest that you guys modify your attitude and start looking for actual solutions to people’s problems … especially around making default themes easier to customise. Otherwise, bbPress, which is an awesome solution to a long-held problem for WordPress site owners, will remain the little-used forum software that it is.

Note: I do have the Fancy Editor enabled in the forums settings.

Thanks,

I just updated to the latest bbPress version from 2.0 and I don’t the new fancy editing elements in my forum.
I am currently using an edited version of the twentyten theme that I am using as a child theme. Do I need to update the theme in order to see the new fancy editing elements? How can I fix this problem? Thanks,

PS: I am also running WordPress 3.4.2

[Jared Atchison]

Copy the bbpress.css from the bbpress plugin directory to yourtheme/bbpress/bbpress.css and then edit the CSS/font size from there 🙂

Are you running bbPress 2.1.1?

[Jared Atchison]

I believe bbPress uses wp_mail() and does not explicitly set a “from”, so wordpress@domain.com is used by default.

Any updates on this topic?

I need to convert my post comments into replies. How to do it?

[Garindan]

Hi all, I want to hide my theme’s breadcrumbs for all the bbpress forum pages, since bbpress breadcrumbs are used for those. I know I simply need the css ‘#breadcrumbs { display: none !important; }’, but what file can i add it to so all forum pages use it? I’m using the bbpress compatibility theme. Many thanks!

Edit: I tried adding it to bbpress.css hoping that it would only affect bbpress post types but it hid them across the whole site.

My fix:
In plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/bbp-metaboxes.php function bbp_reply_metabox at the //topics section I increased the value in ‘numberposts’ => ’5000′

The default limit of 250 was too low for my site.

[maf2874]

My problem was similar in that I was also losing the connection between replies and their parent topics. In my case all the ‘parent’ topics were not being listed in the reply attributes box and so the connection was lost if we re-saved the comment.

The reason for this was the display limit of 250 for the topics.

My fix:
In plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/bbp-metaboxes.php function bbp_reply_metabox at the //topics section I increased the value in ‘numberposts’ => ‘5000’

Hi all,

When email notifications are sent from our bbPress deployment, the ‘From’ address is being set to ‘wordpress@[domain]’. Looking into the WordPress core code (v3.4.2) in pluggable.php, this is done on line 336 when no ‘From’ header is passed in to the wp_mail() function. We’ve reviewed the bbPress configuration and can’t find anywhere that this can be set, have we missed a setting somewhere?

Note our site is using WordPress 3.4.2 Multisite with bbPress 2.1.2.

Here is an image of the problem.

I have tried the twentyten BBPRESS theme and there is no issues, and there is no issues with 3 other WordPress themes I tried.

Anyone please help

[johnny676767]

I am running Custom Community Pro theme with bbpress Compact theme.
Please some one help.

hey everyone,

installed a base install of bbPress today on a test site:

http://topstory.com.au/forums/

Basically all I want to do is modify the font size down, from 12px to 11px. Can someone tell me where I can do this? I’ve done a lot of frakking around with CSS files with WordPress, but can’t find the right setting in bbPress.

Cheers,

Renai

I there, Zaerl here. I’ve made a couple of plugins on the bbPress 1.1 standalone era and now it’s time for me to join the 2.1.2 bandwagon. I’ve seen that a lot of 1.1 plugins haven’t been implemented/ported to the new infrastructure and it’s a pity.

Are there some plugins that are needed? I have a couple of weeks to spare and I will be happy to help the community (for free obviously.)

Have a nice day.

P.S. I have also a 100% complete italian translation if you need it. I have translated it from scratch cause the GlotPress one is poor.
