Nice tip. I’m unsure we’ll use such a brute force method since we’ll only want to apply this to bbPress titles, but good to know it’s possible. Though, it’d be better to avoid it being added at all.

I would like to see the following feature in bbpress.

An ability for an admin to mark a user as a suspected troll. Once the user is marked. Then further posts are directed differently. To the troll the posts appear as normal. (Perhaps newly posted items are stored in localStorage and loaded with javascript.) Also post go directly to a new table where admins can review it. After some time admins can decide that the user is a troll or not. Meanwhile troll’s posts are not lost. And troll is discouraged from creating a new account.

The advantage is that trolls will continue to waste their time, not bother others, and lose a greater amount of work once blocked. Also admins can make the istroll decision with a larger amount of content.

I figured out how to hook into it. I created bp-custom.php in the plugin directory and modified the action like this:

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'display_authorlevel' );
function display_authorlevel() {

// code goes here that you want to executed under the avatar. I wanted to display my WP roles instead of the bbPress roles, so I wrote a custom function to pull the WP roles and put it here.

}

Thanks so much for looking!

[craftcore]

On loop-single-reply.php, show_role is true by default.

> bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘sep’ => ”, ‘show_role’ => true ) > );

I’d like it to be false. If I change it in the theme, it will be overwritten next time I update bbPress, right?

How do I set it to false so that it will not get overwritten?

Thanks!

I have about the same problem as you. I know one way to remove it though, but unfortunately it’s time consuming.

Go into “/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/extras” and copy all templates into “themes/my-child-theme/” root folder. After that I have to go into every single template and remove the line with “get_sidebar();”

Is there any easier way to get rid of that sidebar?

problem 2 was solved by adding

#bbpress-forums div.reply {
height: auto;}

however the other problem is still not solved and I believe the style.css is missing files.

This is litteraly my whole css file

I am fairly new to web design but I have a feeling there must be more somewhere.

Does anyone know what code I could input to this file in order to fix problem one?

Also as a bonus could anyone give me a code that could work for changing the background of the forum colour?

I apologize for my “rookieness”

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys

I just installed bbPress 2.1.1 but when I go to the forum main page the sidebar still appears in the right column, I want to know if there-was a way to remove it?

thank you

[zackasan]

Yeah, i’m sorry. I just realized I was on the bbpress forum. We move topic there.

[Ronileco]

Any new info about this one?
I am suffering from a similar problem where my pretty URL: http://www.mysite/forum/users/User Name/ doesn’t work but http://www.mysite/forum/users/userId/ works great.

How can i fix my permalink or should i change the code to use userID instead? maybe redirect through .htaccess file is the answer?

wordpress latest
buddypress latest
bbpress latest

I use bbpress for site wide forums and for buddypress group forums. It works fine. Didnt install buddypress’s tweaked version.

I set the number for both topics and replies at 5. But cant navigate to the rest of the topic list and replies.
here it is

Anything is possible, but you’ll currently need to write your own widget to make it happen. You’ll most likely want to strip out any formatting, and limit the length also (similar to a WordPress excerpt.)

If you’re able to make this happen and contribute your changes upstream, it would be a great addition to bbPress core for 2.2.

[John James Jacoby]

Hi Janus. You’ll need to tweak some of your theme’s CSS. bbPress doesn’t currently have a ‘dark-theme’ permutation, so you’ll need to do it yourself, or enlist the help of someone that’s willing to do it for you.

As far as the reply heights go, your theme is applying some comment styling to your replies. bbPress 2.1.2 comes with some extra CSS to prevent this, but again it’s a CSS issue that you can fix yourself.

[John James Jacoby]

All kinds of things. Everything in bbPress has an action or a filter in it that enables any other plugins to change the output. Is it possible you were customizing template parts inside your active theme? If so, check in your theme’s folder for a /bbpress directory, and see if you changed any files in there.

[John James Jacoby]

Hi. It’s been less than a day, on a weekend. I kindly ask that you please dial back your expectations.

That said, I can’t duplicate what you’re experiencing, and it would be a great help to have more information to assist you. What theme are you using? Did you customize it? What plugins are you using? Have you tried disabling them to see if there is a conflict?

Pagination, and adjusting the values, works fine. I’ve set them to ‘5’ at testbp.org so you can see for yourself:

Am I getting any help here?
this is a serious bug in the plugin that should be immediately addressed

[craftcore]

This is so weird…deleted /plugins/bbpress and all its subdirectories, downloaded and extracted bbPress 2.1.1 and uploaded. Reactivated and saved settings on the bbPress page…and the Hello World text is still there! So strange!

Is there anything outside of the actual bbPress folder that could modify the bbPress forum index template?

[Janus12]

Hello I am new to bbpress however eveything has been going fairly well. There are 2 problems however.

Problem 1:

When in the forums the text entry for replying to a post is transparent and it makes it look ugly and makes entering text difficult. how can I change the text entry box to something brighter?

(the text box blends with the background)

Problem 2:

When multiple people post on a thread particularly their immages get cut out halfway.

(first/main post is ok)

Can someone please help me with these issues?

Additional information:

I am using custom community theme 1.8.9.1

Thank you!

[varsitysmack]

I want to be able to show the reply content in the (bbPress) Recent Replies widget, not just the topic title. I would like to be able to show either the entire reply text or a portion of the reply text (limit it to characters). Is there a way to do this?

[John James Jacoby]

Delete the /plugins/bbpress folder, and replace it with a fresh download.

[craftcore]

Hi! A few days ago, I was playing around in the bbPress plugin, and I introduced an error. I was trying to figure out where a function outputted, but never figured it out.

If you visit my boards here, http://craftcore.ca/boards/ , you can see the words “Hello World” on my forums list:

> 0 0 No Topics Hello world!

Now the thing is…I can’t remember what file I edited. I opened all the template files in EditPad and seached for “Hello World”, and found nothing. I deactivated, removed, and readded bbPress, and it’s still there.

Any suggestions of where I should be looking? This is such a silly problem, I know. Any advice would be wonderful!

Thank you!

Hi all. This evening I was just about to translate some pieces of BBpress into my native Czech lang. I am used to use Codestyling Localization plugin for translating plugins. This same I saw some strange warning. First time in my life.:-) Is here someone able to provide me with more details on following error message regarding bbpress?

Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that. (Codestyling Localization plug error message)

[nick_w]

Found the fix on this site, deep in the Tracking discussion. Adding bbp_admin(); (courtesy of xiosen) did the trick, like this:

    // Setup admin (to include converter)
require_once( bbpress()->plugin_dir . 'bbp-admin/bbp-admin.php' );

bbp_admin();

// Convert password
require_once( bbpress()->admin->admin_dir . 'bbp-converter.php' );
require_once( bbpress()->admin->admin_dir . 'converters/' . $row->meta_value . '.php' );

Many thanks,

nick

[aaclayton]

Hey JJJ, thanks for the advice. I am using /css/bbpress.css in my theme, the trouble I’m having is actually getting the proper syntax for unhooking these elements when they aren’t needed.

Essentially, what I’m trying to do is something like this:

add_action( 'get_header', 'remove_bbpress_scripts' );
function remove_bbpress_scripts() {
    if ( !is_bbpress() ) {
        remove_action ( 'bbp_enqueue_scripts' , 'enqueue_styles' );
        remove_action ( 'bbp_enqueue_scripts' , 'enqueue_scripts' );
    }
}

Something isn’t working with this syntax though, I suspect I need to prefix ‘enqueue_styles’ with something, but I’m not sure what the proper prefix is.

[John James Jacoby]

Should not be happening with the bbPress TwentyTen theme unless you have a plugin that’s incorrectly filtering query results.
