Hi,
I’m having issues with the bbpress widget which shows recent replies. for some reason it seems totally incapable of keeping the list aligned correctly. I thought it might be my theme so I went back to the standard buddypress theme and had exactly the same problem. It just can’t keep the dates aligned correctly. Anyone able to help on this?
Hi.
I have WordPress site with bbPress. Actually, after a user creates a new topic it goes to the new topic page.
Is it possible to force system to redirect to forum topic list page ? The action property of the tag is empty, so I don’t know where this submit is processed.
Thank you.
This question relates to BuddyPress, not bbPress.
You have posted on the bbPress forums. Please post your questions to the BuddyPress forums.
Looks like you have a 404 error. If you still have the plugin installed, make sure you have gone to Settings > Permalinks and clicked “Save Changes”.
That’s just it: the meta box isn’t added. I filtered the arguments used by bbPress in register_post_type and dumped them to a file – I can see that thumbnail is there in the supports array but the meta box doesn’t appear.
I may be wrong, but I don’t think you can explicitly create a child theme of the bbPress Twenty Ten theme, not in the usual way anyhow, simply because that theme exists inside of the plugin, not inside of wp-content/themes.
I’d suggest that you copy the entire bbPress Twenty Ten theme to wp-content/themes and then tweak it.
Can you show me a screenshot of the interface for adding the backgrounds? If it is a custom feature that the theme has added in, it will be much more difficult to determine why it doesn’t work, at least without being able to play with the theme myself.
Hi Luke,
Thanks, I’ve seen that, but that seems like overkill. I am simply trying to create a child theme for the bbpress twentyten theme.
With that procedure you referenced, what happens when bbpress does an update? Do you have to copy all those files into your directory again?
Please advise.

Hi !!
Well … Yes, I have featureb backgrounds from my wp-theme.
It works for me hurrah! Thanks Dave 🙂 See it in action at the bottom of the page here – I changed the pagination strings to Next and Prev instead of the arrows: http://netballscoop.com/forums/topic/trying-again/
So how would I change this myself without the plugin, since I am curious?
Bob,
You may want to try this guide:
https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/
You will copy file and move them inside your existing theme directory. This will override the default theme that lives inside the plugins directory.
Good luck!
Luke
No worries. At least I know I can stop scouring the site over and over looking for something that isn’t there. 😉
Ah, yes, sorry, Dave is right. I run my local development site on the bleeding edge version and sometimes forget things there are not available to everyone yet 🙂
OMG Thank you! I was just about to come on here and say I don’t have that anywhere! Lol! So right now I can’t separate site registrants from forum registrants, correct?
What Pippin wrote is not entirely true:
the screenshot above is from the current development version 2.2-bleeding!
In current public release v2.1.2 this is NOT possible yet.
Hope that helps, Dave 🙂
Just released v1.1.0 of my plugin!
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/
It add the previous/next string parameters for Topic & Reply pagination.
So this also very handy for changing this via bbPress main settings 🙂
Enjoy!
perfect! thank you so much! will get on it when i get back home. thx again!
Sorry, I definitely told you wrong before.
Setting a forum to private will make it so only logged-in users can view it. Logged-out users will get a 404 error.
You can also adjust the permissions that any individual user has for the forums by going to the user’s profile editor in the admin, as shown in the screenshot below:
one last q and i promise i wont bug you anymore. Do you know if making it a private forum will at least provide some amount of privacy or will it make the forum not function properly? sorry for the typos, on my phone now.
That is not possible out of the box, only with custom modifications.
Fantastic! Do you happen to know how I can make it so only forum registrants can view posts? Or is that not possible?
Thanks so much for your help. I’ve been spinning in circles for 2 hours so you’ve been a Godsend!
See the attached image. It’s the Global Access setting you want to adjust.
I can’t see that setting anywhere. I would like to make it so only forum registrants can use the forum, not all users on my website. I’m sure I’m probably just missing it but I’m still missing it. Can you tell me exactly where it would be?
Here is the contents of my child theme. Is this correct?
Theme Name: Twenty Ten bbpress Child
Theme URI:
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Ten BBpress theme
Author: Bob
Author URI:
Template: bbPress (Twenty Ten)
Version: 0.1.0
*/
@import url(“../bbPress (Twenty Ten)/style.css”);
In the last line, should it read the name of the subdirectory, i.e. bbp-twentyten or the name of the actual theme, bbpress (Twenty Ten) ???
