I have been changing the role of several members but have not seen a change in behavior.
By default they are assigned Subscriber roles in the WP database.

We are using 2.1.2 as a full plugin to our WP installation so bbpress uses the WP users DB right?

Ive also tried posting from one of the members after i upgraded them to admin role as a previous topic mentioned user profiles not working until a user had posted. No joy….

Hi,
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. I just created a bbpress forum and a few participants complained about the editor view they get when posting a message to forum.
The main complaint is that they don´t have the ability to use all the functions, such as font sizes etc. Is there a possibility for a simpler editor view for forum participants?

[John James Jacoby]

It’s probably because they aren’t being assigned any role or capabilities, or they’re given a role that bbPress doesn’t know of. bbPress 2.2 should address some of these types of potential issues, but someone would need to look at your installation to be certain.

Hi!

I was just wondering if there was any way to edit old forum posts. I recently deleted my Photobucket account so all the photos that I had linked in my forum thread have been broken. I would like to edit the posts to include updated photo links. If editing old posts is not possible, would there be a way to delete the entire thread and create a new one with the updated photo links?

The forum I have in question is called The Daily Kitten, but it is powered by bbPress, so I figured I’d be able to get some input here as well. I was also not able to find an administrator of The Daily Kitten forum.

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi all.

On my site, if posts are created, they do not appear in the forum, it continues to say there are no posts. They also don’t appear in admin.

I’m using BBPress with BuddyPress, if that helps.

Here is my site:
http://www.indie-film.tv

Thanks.

Hi,

I’d like to display all recent topics on the front-page of buddypress wideforums, like here on bbpress.org and buddypress.org/support, instead of default forums tree. Is there a setting to do this?

Thanks.

Hey guys!

bbPress 2.1 is supposed to, from what I’ve understood, add support for a WYSIWYG editor. T
hat is not the case for me. I’m just getting the same old text box with no buttons.
Is there something I can do to fix this? I’m not really sure where to start troubleshooting.

My site: http://www.sota-guild.eu

Thanks in advance!

Edit: The Fancy Editor is enabled in the forum settings.

Any solution to this?

I’ve seen a few other posts with simillar problems but there solutions are either not working or not appropriate due to the difference in bbpress versions.

[leanderbraunschweig]

@Bart: I just texted you – let’s make this happen 🙂

Any results will be shared here, so others may benefit. Hang in there.

[sunilsahu]

how do i set my sidebar as bbpress and display the latest post in center with no right sidebar

[FiveOneDigital]

Is there no way to do this? Seems like it’s something people would want. Easily make a custom menu with all of your forums to use in widget.

Hi!

I just installed bbpress and want to make the easiest forums ever. It should be just one page with a list of threads. Like this one (which I read is made with bbpress): Dropbox forums

How do I do that? Im a rookie so I need some pretty serious advice here. Thank you! <3

Testing something.

Hi, totally now to this and having trouble, I need to change the colour of the forum on my site to black background with white text. I can change the text using suffusion options but this changes all text on the site. For some reason I really can not change the forum background colour. I used http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-forum-color/#post-100130 to help me with editing the .css file but nothing seems to have changed!

my forum is at http://antaresscorpions.co.uk/?post_type=forum At the moment we have added a red colour just so the text can be seen on both pages and forums.

Thanks for your help!

Regards

[RiGoRmOrTiS_UK]

yup your right. as long as there is at least 1 public sub-forum the rest display without issue; regardless of whether they are private, hidden etc…

.. clearly a code bug in bbpress; will be nice if devs can jump in on this one.

[libertux]

I have a littel tip, trying to resolve or have an idea about whats hapend i found a littel thing, so, if under your public top level category you have at least one public sub-forum so theres no problems all work fine so the idea is to add a fake sub-forum with a strange name 🙂 and try to hide it using jquery, i dont know if it’s work at 100% but it’s an idea that can help (oh bbpress coder!!!! we hope a littel help from you 😉 )

#bbpress-forums li a{
    color: #555;
}

I am using WP 3.4.2 & bbPress 2.1.2 at http://oldfiredog.com/

I am new to WP & bbPress but am learning. I have created the above site and have created some forums but can not seem to get to them while on my site. In edit mode I can choose view though and see the forum on my site. I do have the theme desk mess mirrored in use 2.0.4 I just need to know how to access my forums on my site as I have been able to create them and view them in in dashboard > edit mode > view mode but not on my site. I have changed themes to twenty ten but it does not seem to make a difference.

Hi Henning,

Funny I came across your topic. I’ve been looking for days for a way to integrate bbPress into a memership site using Optimizepress. I was starting to feel kinda lonely as I began supposing I was the only one with this wish.

I was thinking maybe we could help each other. I think it’s reasonable to assume nobody will come along and help us out here after 6 days. I suppose we’re on our on own on this one. So if you feel like it, you can contact me at bart.leynen(at)gmail.com and we can see if we can mean something for each other…

Thanks

Bart

We can always come back later and post the solution here…

[bartleynen]

Hi Zachhandley, I have been looking for the same thing duting the last few days, but it seems that this is not possible since BBPress is a plugin now. Unless you can do lots of fancy tricks with CSS and all. Not my cup of tea though. On to another solution now 😉 P.S.: If it is yours, you can find lots of tutorials and blog posts on how to create a custom theme for BBPress. Good luck…

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I’m really hoping to continue developing this out and make it into a really solid little add-on for bbPress.

[on3advertising]

Unfortunately I never got this sorted out because no one responded within the time of my deadline. So I deleted the entire standalone installation off my server and installed a fresh instance of WordPress. Then I installed/activated bbPress within the Admin panel of WordPress. At this point, I uploaded the bb-blueSands theme to my themes directory in WordPress. Nothing changed, it still looks exactly like “TwentyTen”. When I try to activate the new theme, it errors, “The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template…template is missing.” I don’t understand how to properly activate a bbPress Theme so i can actually use this as a real forum module.

[libertux]

Hi,

I’m trying to import an existing vBulletin 4.2 based forum. The IP is correct, so are database name, user name and password. However all the importer says is “No users to import”, “No threads to import” etc.

I’m running latest stable versions of WordPress and bbPress.

Any clues? Thanks!
