hi there,

I just installed bbPress and was exploring the options for themes. On the website, the button for “Themes” redirects to “http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/themes/” which contains a 3 year old thread to a third party website. Why make visitors go through that? Why not just link to the external website directly if thats the only repository? It just makes it more confusing for newcomers…plus as a newcomer if I see a three year old thread my confidence goes way down about the plugin.

I went to http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes to download some of those additional themes for bbPress.

1. Only some of the themes had a “Download” link. How do I access those themes without the download link?
   For example, I want to download Hellish Simplicity. When I click the “Website” link, I’m taken to a WordPress theme, not a bbPress theme.
2. Do I install the Hellish Simplicity WordPress theme in the bbPress/my-templates/ folder or my themes folder? The instructions at http://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/themes-and-templating/ suggest that i put in the bbPress folder. But this is confusing…

I’m looking forward to using bbPress and hope that these questions are easily answered!

thanks everyone,

Hey guys,

I know this has been asked quite a few times as I have come across a few posts. The problem I have is this:

I am using the Fancy Editor on the front end to edit bbPress replies and topics.

If as a forum user I edit my post using the visual tab then nofollow is applied to the link as required. If as a forum admin I edit my post using visual or html tab then nofollow is applied aswell.

The issue comes when I go to save my post as a forum user using the html tab and type out my link tag. This will not apply a nofollow to the reply/topic.

I have this inside a custom plugin already:

add_filter('post_author_link', 'bb_rel_nofollow');
add_filter('post_text', 'bb_rel_nofollow');

Thanks for any help.

bbPress 2.1 now has built-in theme support, try using the steps outlined here:
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Ronileco]

Sorry for the long time it took me to respond.
This is my problem:
my bbpress uses permalinks and prettylinks which makes all the user links use the user name instead of ID.

for example:
http://www.mysite.com/forum/users/Roni%20Cohen
this leads to 404.
instead of
http://www.mysite.com/forum/users/524 (the user id)
this leads to the user page.

What should I change in my wordpress / bbpress in order to support those kind of links.
I already set mod_rewrite but i guess some rules are missing or that i’m using something in the wrong way.

I found the part in the code that handles this but I don’t want to change that to use id hard coded.

Am i clear now?

I am pulling my hair out on this. I have tried getting bbPress to work with a WordPress site using a custom theme and evidently I’m missing something because it just isn’t happening. Here’s what I’ve done based on what I could find for instructions so far:

• I installed and activated the plugin through the wordpress admin.
• I created a test forum and a test topic through the wordpress admin.
• I created a child theme folder, named the same as the primary theme appended with ‘-child’.
• I copied the contents of the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-twentyten into the child theme folder.
• I updated the style.css file ‘Template:’ line to refer to the parent theme.
• I added ‘add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );’ to the main theme’s functions.php.

When I go to the forum via http://www.carolina-business.org/forums/, I get a page that spits out a section titled with the most recent post title and a huge amount of blank space with the forum list at the bottom of the section. This is followed by a section for every other post on the site, each of these containing the forum list.

When I go to the forum via http://www.carolina-business.org/forums/forum/test-forum-1, I get another page that shows all of the posts in the site. I get the same result via http://www.carolina-business.org/forums/topic/test-topic-1/.

What I’m trying to achieve is for the forum to appear in the content area of the site, within one of the content frames (the white box with the green header and gray border.)

Can anyone tell me what I am doing incorrectly/not doing? Thanks!

I want to implement a functionality in bbpress 2.0.2 that an admin ll get an approval email when a registered user adds topic or give reply on any topic. sothat if admin approves the topic and give reply on any topic then it ll show on website otherwise not.
Can you please suggest me.

[Lynq]

It would be quite nice to have some of the most commonly asked forum questions somewhere and then a couple of useful topics users can check out.

I know that customizing bbp_list_forums is a popular one.

[Lynq]

You could try something like this, but note I haven’t thoroughly tested it yet. http://pastebin.com/NC8JB4hV

Any way to attach an image to a role by any chance? I’d like to show a banner for Supporting Members rather than just text.

[LabSecrets]

Sounds good… would love to put the emphasis on the end-use of the forums in some way too. A lot of our users come to us with their intended solution (goal of using bbPress) already in mind. Might be helpful to focus one section on that as well, so folks could work backwards.

How do you want to put up the skeleton of these docs?

[Stephen Edgar]

You could create a new role called “Supporting Members” and give these members the same permissions as the bbPress role ‘Forum Participant’.

This would only change the text displayed under each username, it would not give them a badge or image displayed next to or under there avatar etc, for that you would need to write or download a plugin that supported this for bbPress (I cant think of any that do this at this stage).

If you use the forum base ‘X’ and forum slug ‘y’ and have ‘Forum Prefix’ checked
– hxxp://www.example.com/x/y/yournotstupid
– (default bbPress slugs hxxp://www.example.com/forums/forum/yournotstupid/ )

If you use the forum base ‘X’ and forum slug ‘y’ and have ‘Forum Prefix’ UNchecked
– hxxp://www.example.com/y/docscouldbebetter
– (default bbPress slugs hxxp://www.example.com//forum/docscouldbebetter/ )

There is some basic doc’s here https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum and https://codex.bbpress.org/forums-settings/#archive-slugs

Try updating the permalinks, change them to something else and then back to /%category%/%postname%/

[Chris A. a11n]

I’m working with bbPress 2.1 and bbp-theme-compat and some weird stuff is happening with the user profile pages. If I view the profile page of an author or contributor I’m getting the post thumbnail of that user’s latest post at the top of the profile. I’m also getting pagination at the bottom of the profile for some users.

To further this, I can’t quite find the template file that is being used to generate this page. I would assume it’s using: bbp-theme-compat\extras\single-user.php but within this file is a div with the css class “bbp-single-user”. When searching the source of the outputted profile page I can’t find that class anywhere.

This has been patched #1886 and will be in the 2.12 release later this week.

You need to use a plugin like this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

혹시 최근 bbPress 2.1 한국어로 나온거 있나요? 그리고 번역된 버젼에도 모든 플러그인들이 되나요? 감사합니다!

[mh1ok]

I have installed bbpress on my site and all looks fine except these styles overriding my layout. From the inspector it looks like its element.style adding a background-position to the theme. Does anyone know how to override this? All I would need maybe is to just have it set to background-position: -10000px; which should hide it but I’m not sure where that would go.

Unfortunately, I can’t find anyone else with this issue. So clearly the problem is between the chair and keyboard. I apologize for wasting anyone’s time with this, but I’ve been stuck for days and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. So, thank you in advance.

I am not a programmer!

So here’s my issue: I just can’t seem to get anything working correctly. I have a theme (dynamix) which supports buddypress.I have buddypress installed and activated with bbpress. But when I try to create a new forum, it gets created in a place that I don’t have access to.

For example, I go to dashboard > Forums > New Forum > and I create a new forum (usually with some sarcastic name because I’m frustrated)

That forum gets created with the forum slug and the forum base.

So, let’s say I have my forum base set to X
My forum slug set to Y

When I publish the a new forum, let’s call it “Imstupid”, it goes to: http://www.(mysite).com/ [forum page]/X/Y/imstupid

My assumption is that it would go directly to the spot where X is, like: http://www.(mysite).com/imstupid.

Is it possible there’s an issue with some older pages that I’ve created and deleted? I have emptied the trash on the old pages.

So, I want people to be able to click on my forum page (it’s not named forums, by the way) and have a list of forums right there. As it stands now, not only are the forums I have created not there, but I can’t even get to them!

Thank you, again, in advance for your help. And God bless anyone who help me figure this out!

I see we can add the bbPress Login widget to the sidebar. I don’t use sidebars; is there any shortcode for coding it in elsewhere, in our pages, other than the sidebar?
