@Erlend The site is running bbPress Plugin 2.x
(‘View Source’ /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentten/css/bbpress.css?ver=20110807b)

[Lynq]

Hey Erlend, chuck mine in there if you like! Using bbpress 2.1: http://teamoverpowered.com/forums/

[Lynq]

I found it easier just to do it by CSS.

All of the bbPress pages will put a class of .bbPress on the body tag.
My sidebar is #primary.

So what I did was this small bit of css:

.bbPress #primary {
display: none;
}

Then I added in some extra CSS to extend the width, easy!

Markdown Plugin
I like Markdown, though cutting & pasting the above text/reply crashed Safari on the iPad twice.
Reproduce Steps: start a reply, I’m using this post itself for an idea on size, it is now so slow and I can’t type or delete text faster than one character a second.

Forum Wide Search
See Trac Ticket #1575 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575
The code in #1575 is a WP plugin ‘Search bbPress’ though it needs an update for bbPress 2.1 (remove old widget typo bug code and whatever else may need updating)
Ideally getting #1575 closed and built into bbPress would be the ideal scenario 🙂

Breadcrumbs & Tags
These are features available in the bbPress software, as such I think they should be used here at bbPress.org/forums to help showcase the features of bbPress. As for the actual user experience/implementation of said features, ideas on how you use them and how they could be best used here would be great.

(~typing at only one character per second here, there is some performance issue with Markdown going on here or at least on iPad Safari)

Hey @janoochen . I’m putting together an examples collection of bbPress 2 forums. Can you just confirm that your forum is running on the bbPress 2 plugin, not the older bbPress 1.x or 0.9 version?

> @ziadmasry: Great work!! Is there a recent translation for Arabic version WP?

Ziadmasry,

You can see the current status of bbPress translations here:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin 

(Arabic has 132 of 842 translations, though all additional contributions would be welcome :))

Please see this post How do I change the language? (We will add this to the docs in the near future.)

That post has instructions for Spanish, its the same process except you substitute ES (Spanish) for AR (Arabic) where applicable, it’s an identical process for bbPress as it is for WordPress itself.

Hello,

I’d like to use bbPress so I’m looking at setting it up on my blog…

I use the plugin Semisecure Login Reimagined to encrypt login details before they’re sent off to the server…

When I use the bbPress shortcode for the login or use the login widget I get the message:

> Semisecure Login is not enabled! Please enable JavaScript and use a
> modern browser to ensure that your password is encrypted.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get around that?

Thanks!

[Erlend]

Thanks for Markdown!

Got some more:

• Could really use a forum-wide search. So far it seems we only have board-wide (that’s what I prefer to call a single forum) and topic-wide.
• Breadcrumbs would be nice in my opinion, but it’s a preference thing.
• The tag cloud is so massive I don’t even dare look at it. It’d be interesting to track the amount of clicks those tags get. What purpose does the tag-cloud serve?

[andersvinther2]

After looking at bbPress a bit I am wondering why Topics are not organized under a Forum?

Sure, I’m aware that there are super sticky topics, but apart from that one case will a Topic not always exist under just one forum?

In which case one really wouldn’t need the Forum and Topic categorization…

I’m sure there’s a good reason for why it’s been done this way… just can’t see it at the moment 😉

[andersvinther2]

Found it 🙂

On the https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ page the shortcodes for this are listed towards the bottom 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

The index page for bbPress translations is here:-

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin

If you can contribute translations that would be great 🙂

Hello,

Where does the bbPress breadcrumb get the text bits from?

The first part on my site looks like the title of my home page, and it is rather long!

Any way of changing the text without changing the home page?
Or removing the first part of the breadcrumb?
Or removing the breadcrumb all together?

Thanks!

[andersvinther2]

Hello,

Thanks for helping me logging in to bbPress.org – had to ask via twitter…

You might want to:

• change the Register page to tell people to use their WordPress.org credentials and register there if needed.
• remove the Lost Password page
• fix the contact us link in your footer as it doesn’t work 🙂

Thanks!

Great work!! Is there a recent translation for Arabic version WP?

[Prometheus Fire]

Looks good, feels snappier too for some reason…

Might want to make your, Create New Topic link into a more prominent button. I’m probably a retard, but I couldn’t find, just wasn’t seeing it on the page! Ended up having to type in the URL for the new topic page manually… 🙂

[Prometheus Fire]

Not that I really wanted to be dramatic with my thread topic…

Updated to 2.1 today and all that ajax functions in my activity stream stopped working (tabs, load more, filters, etc).

I thought it might be my theme at first, but I switched to BP default and the problem was still there. I then rolled BBPress back to v2.0.3 and the problem vanished. Back in my theme with 2.0.3 and all is okay.

Anything special about the new BP integration that might mess up the activity stream? Has anyone else had this problem? Any thoughts on this?

[Emil Uzelac]

Very nice! Preview rocks as well, great job guys!

[Jared Atchison]

It’s kinda funny that I actually prefer markdown over TinyMCE. Think that is a habit I got from github 😛

Ok – it seems to be working as expected now, with a clean refresh. The only difference is that I followed your instructions, Lynq, and not those peppered around this site. The following links say to copy the contents of the bbp-twentyten folder to the theme folder:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-0-theme-compatibility/

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

That doesn’t work for me, however. Copying the contents of the bbp-theme-compat folder did work.

Is this simply a documentation problem that needs to be fixed?

Thank you both for the help and attention!

[crazy-nomce]

Hello,

I tried to use the bbpress rate post plugin on WordPress 3.4.1, bbpress 2.0.3, BuddyPress 1.5.6 and the plugin v. 1.6.6. In the group forums it works very well, but in the site-wide forums there is nothing, so I thought I will modify and make it to work in bbpress…

I opened the files (bb-rate-forum-posts.php – the main file) looked at the hooks and tried to find the similar hooks for bbpress, but unsuccessfully for now. I tried few changes but always get blank screen errors.

Can anyone help me, with code, or just hints? Or some other plugin recommendation?

Thanks in advance.

[Chris A. a11n]

Looks awesome, congrats guys!

[selise]

hi,

i’ve just installed bbpress 2.1 on a test site and am loving it. great job and many thanks to all, especially (of course) jjj.

so far the new theme compatibility seems to be working just fine (and MUCH easier to set up) with my simple twentyten child theme.

however, there are very weird problems with the mobile theme from the wptouch pro plugin (for example, with wptouch pro switched on, the blog is displaying forum topic titles without any blog or forum content). what makes this especially weird is that i did have wptouch pro working with bbpress 2.0.

i’ve asked for help on the bravenewcode support forum, but they don’t offer official support for wptouch with bbpress (although, as per usual, emilio is willing to a look)…. so i thought i’d ask here too as wptouch mobile theme plugin might be something of interest to bbpress users and some of you may have a suggestion.

thanks for any ideas to try…;

[Lynq]

This is how I did it:

1) get your fresh install sorted with a new copy of bbpress.
2) take the contents inside of /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat and copy it to the root of your theme, for example: /wp-content/themes/RainCloud/

This is what worked for me and then I could edit the bbpress.css file inside my RainCloud theme and it worked perfectly straight away.

If this doesn’t work I would guess some kind of plugin or theme conflict!

[Clay]

Ok. I’m going to nuke the site and try a fresh install. Can somebody give me accurate concise directions for what to do after I have installed and activated my child theme (without bbpress), to get the bbpress theme to an editable state outside of the plugins folder? Altering my CSS files in the child theme directory always leads to them being superseded at the moment, and I followed the directions I found here.
