Your main #content is restricting the width.

You could try something like this:

.bbPress #content { width: 100%; }

Thanks for the thread netweb my concern is definitely performance number one. But point well taken optimization is always first and foremost no matter what size the site is.

I had to ask because there are so many articles and threads on how to accomplish the multi-login scenario none of them are without issues. I’m really not looking to complicate or increase my workload.

You made some real valid points and have helped narrow down my decision making a whole bunch. I have found that keeping things as simple as we can really works out for the best in the long run in most cases.

Rock on with the bbpress project, I love my phpbb, been using them for 10 years. It’s time to try something new. I do like its simplicity and it’s come a long way from almost a year ago when I looked at it.
Thanks for your time and help

Does this help? https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

[Stephen Edgar]

Here’s a lists of the shortcodes available to insert in pages https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Show a single forums topics eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks like that from some of your customization you have removed some of the ‘wrapper’ bbPress classes from your templates eg. this will indeed change the layout and sidebar issues you are seeing.

I have been trying for ages to integrating bbpress forum to my website here Latest Universities News, i have added the forum but it is empty, how do i make it available for users/members to comment, start topics?

[Stephen Edgar]

There are multiple articles out their on how to do multiple WordPress installs but share the users from a single database.

I’m not sure why you would want to do it this way though if it is just scalability you are concerned about have a read of this thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-for-millions-of-posts/

I also have the same problem, I hope to get the way to solve this problem too, wait the answer online .-hellobing

Hello,

1) I have a small trouble — I do not know how to increase the width of the forum block of the website: http://intellfor.com/forum/topic/som-menej-seriozne-forum/ (I do not like the blank space on the right.)
I looked into the css of the WP theme, but could not find anything.

2) How can I make my forum the homepage?

3) Also an offtopic question — some time ago there used to be a bbpress which was not a WP plugin, but a software that could be installed without WP. Now I am not able to find it though… What has happened to it?

Thanks for your help.

Try the members plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/

Howdy,
I added support for bbPress into my anti-spam plugin this morning. I don’t actually use bbPress though, so can’t confirm that it is indeed working on a live site, so if any of you kind bbPress folks can help a poor plugin dev. out by testing it for me, that would be really handy 🙂

It works ninja well on blog comments, so assuming I’ve implemented it correctly, it should (in theory) work just as well for bbPress too.

Here’s the announcement post for bbPress support:
http://pixopoint.com/2012/08/05/bbpress-buddypress-and-multisite-spam/

And here’s the download page at WordPress.org:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spam-destroyer/

It should help block both user registrations via the bbPress user registration shortcode and it should block automated guest posters too.

[Tanya]

Starejosel – Thanks for looking into it. From what I’ve seen of the website, it’s not running bbpress? Let me know if you find an answer though.

fripp – Thanks, let’s get a few more people on board to get this plugin up and running!

Pastebin doesn’t look like a viable option as far as actually integrating it. Would require tapping into their api which is a level of programming that is waaay over my head.

An unpleasant, but manageable workaround is to use:

http://centricle.com/tools/html-entities/

to encode the code first, wrap it in code tags and cross your fingers.

Still has issues with quotes and rel=”nofollow”, but going back and editing I managed to get the code to display cleanly how I want it.

Getting users to do this (even if they knew how) will be impossible so ultimately we’ll just have to settle with the “use Pastebin and share the URL” method.

There is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/ – but it’s not so pretty and still has it’s glitchy moments.

Another option I suppose would to get in the code and change it so that the code button inserts textarea tags instead and then just style the hell out of them to look and function like they’re not textareas ;). That could sure confuse users though.

I guess we’ll see what 2.2 brings.

Thanks, Bryan

As per the title. It does this only on the main forum overview page, not within posts or actual forums themselves. How do I at least stop this – or better yet control it via widgets?

[vibol]

I added this ticket, which needs more conversation on approach:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

[fripp]

Tanya, I’m in! It’s the only feature I’ve missed since converting to bbpress from SMF.

But it is the most important, I think. And so do the users in my forum as well. It is the easiest way to keep updated.

Most users want a quick overview of what has been going on. And not just the latest postings, but the postings they have not yet read.

Let’s do this!

WordPress version: 3.4.1

Hello There
I´ve been searching this for days.
Is there a way to show in a custom page the recent topics form specific forums, limiting the number of posts? Either via widget or directly putting code into the template files?
Thanks in advance.

[mike05]

I believe im having the same problem. I am using Directorypress from Premiumpress. I have the the forum set up great but it seems as though bbpress isn’t playing nice with directorypress. I Want mY sidebar there for advertising and widgets, but on my forums page, the sidebar is showing up Underneath the forum.

What makes it worse is that bbpress is only 2/3 width, so theres a blank spot where the sidebar is supposed to be.

Does this sound familiar? and if so, does anyboy have the solution to this problem?

[apena916]

What i’m experiencing was even before I installed bbPress Moderation. When I installed bbPress alone i still needed to approve all the posts, when the problem persisted then I installed the bbPress Moderation just to see if it allowed what it said, which is after one time approved I wouldn’t have to approve again, but it never fixed the problem, I still had to approve every post So I did what you said and disabled the bbPress Moderation and I’m still getting the same problem, with or without the plugin all posts goes to ‘Pending’ and I have to approve every single one of them which gets really annoying. I disabled bbPress and re-enabled it and still nothing. I even found a function that I tested on functions.php, the function has this included thinking it would force the users capability to publish.

$role = get_role( 'subscriber' ); // gets the editor role
$role -> add_cap( 'publish_topics' ); //-> is actually greater than symbol, this forum is not showing it

but that didn’t work, i feel like there’s an option that never got set in my database, i even restored the plugin and its not working. I just don’t understand why its not working for me, or nothing is being set in capability mapping

Can you double check what version of bbPress you are using… V2.1.2 included a patch that specifically addressed the issue you are having with class names being case sensitive.

[jsandlund]

Hi there,

I’m looking for someone to help me cleanly implement bbpress into my wordpress site. I’ve actually had trouble finding freelancers who specifically list bbpress as an area of expertise. Could you guys point me in the right direction? Or if anyone here also freelances, it would be great to hear from you. My skype is jsandlund

Many thanks!
Jonny
