I assume you mean how to change avatar on this website.

You need to set your avatar at http://en.gravatar.com/

bbpress.org pulls avatars from that site.

Thanks guys!

@martin_style: Not quite sure what you mean by “once time load slow, but not loading multiple times”

@jaredatch: How do I nuke the sidebar?

I lied. I am not using

.bbp-forum #primary {

display: none;

}

I am using a plugin that replaces primary sidebar with a bbpress specific sidebar.

But I have 2 sidebars, and I am hiding the 2nd sidebar with CSS

.bbp-forum #secondary {

display: none;

}

So this is the one that I need to remove.

I am guessing that instead of fiddling with the Theme, it might be easier to patch the plugin. Here’s what it does at the moment:

function vp_sidebars_widgets($data)

{

// if bbpress enabled and main sidebar requested

if ($this->is_bbp && $this->is_main_sidebar)

{

// switch sidebar if bbrepss sidebar has some widgets in it

if (!empty($data[$this->sidebar_id]))

{

if (isset($data['sidebar-1']))

{

// uses sidebar-1 as main sidebar in most themes

// set forum sidebar as main sidebar

$main_sidebar_key = 'sidebar-1';

}

else

{

// get first sidebar which should be main in most themes

foreach ($data as $k => $v)

{

if (strpos($k,'inactive')===false)

{

$main_sidebar_key = $k;

break;

}

}

}



// replace main sidebar with bbpress sidebar

if (isset($main_sidebar_key))

{

$data[$main_sidebar_key] = $data[$this->sidebar_id];

}

}



// reset main sidebar request

$this->is_main_sidebar = false;

}



// return modified widgets array

return $data;

}

You already asked this once. No need to ask again.

I don’t have an answer for you. Are you using bbp-compat or TwentyTen bbPress theme (though that shouldn’t matter).

The fact is I’m running trunk and I see the classes in various places.

[Jared Atchison]

Install bbPress 2.0.2 (the plugin) – it will do all of this out of the box

[Jared Atchison]

You are in the right direction, the theme is just hijacking and overriding bbPress css, so you’re going to have to just tweak it.

[Jared Atchison]

If you are using bbPress 2.1 by chance, you can drop this into your theme’s functions.php and it should do what you want.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

function ja_return_blank() {

return '';

}

If we provided a configuration for every request received we would have 347374 configurations and be years from a future release.

Instead bbPress is built extremely flexible so *you* can do these things as you see fit.

[Jared Atchison]

Trunk is simply the latest development version of bbPress. So if jjj committed a patch last night, it’s not going to show up in the latest *stable* version – it will be in trunk.

You can download trunk via a zip file or through SVN – SVN is better because then you can easily sync it down the road.

Make sure you are grabbing the plugin trunk and not 1.x trunk.

trunk …… how

I’ve searched and searched, can someone please just tell me how to USE trunk, I’ve downloaded it, I’ve added it to my existing bbpress plugin, I’ve tried running it as stand alone, I don’t understand, please someone just tell me how

I need a quick, overview of how to install a WP blog with a BBPress forum on the same domain.

I found a couple of tutorials on how to do this with the legacy stand alone version of BBPress and have considered just installing the legacy version but am hoping there’s a way with the newer plugin version.

What I want to do:

(1) Run WordPress from the root directory and use it as the site blog

(2) Run a forum in a subfolder ‘/forum’ (I assume this will require a second installation of WP with BBPress plugin?)

(3) Both the forum and blog should have integrated registrations/login so if you join or log into one, you’re automatically a member of or logged into the other.

(4) Both the forum and blog should be able to share a theme or at least be able to install the same theme on both installations for website consistency.

Thank you in advance for any help.

ok so i have gotten to the point where i need the bbpress forum index, and subforums to use a them that has a sidebar, and where the induvidual topics use one without a sidebar.

im thinking the easiest way would be choosing a template theme for the indexs but that option doesnt show in editor like it does when creating pages.

help?

Greetings from Vancouver, B.C.

I’ve installed the BBPress plugin and want to modify the ‘light blue’ and ‘yellow’ text block colors on the following page.

http://participatorydemocracy.ca/forums/forum/test-forum

I followed plugin >> bb press >> bbp-twentyten >> css >> bbpress-rtl and bbpress.css

Using Firebug I located in the css where (I thought) I would modify the colors but when I looked in both bbpress-rtl and bbpress.css there was no matching code, at least that I could find.

Same for . . .

http://participatorydemocracy.ca/forums

which I want to modify the header to match the rest of the website.

Any suggestions would be grateful . . .

[jmatthewgore]

Thanks again, rvencu

I do have a Linux host… a CentOS based VPS (managed). Beyond that, I’m afraid that your suggestion is Greek to me. I don’t really know anything about editing the EOL Conversion (or what it is).

However, I can safely say that I’ve experienced my fair share of php errors on this server, and previous ones have not been listed as “line 1”. Also, aside from this comment form showing up, my whole install of wordpress and buddypress/bbPress works just fine, so I’m not sure I understand why changing this line would be a particular problem anyway… maybe it’s just a syntax error?

But are you saying that you don’t see any obvious problem with the code I pasted above?

Many Thanks,

Matthew

No its definitely still being rendered by the server and the browser, your browser just hides it. Ideally you’ll want to find a way to nuke the sidebar on bbPress pages, but you’ll have to poke around your theme to do that.

One feature that I struggle a bit in why bbPress broke from the norm is Freshness. It is customary to have the last column for “Last post” which includes the date-time of last post (topic/reply) and the author of last post.

bbPress has decided to use “Freshness” instead of “Last post” as title. Instead of date-time, it displays time-since. Is there an easy way to change this?

[SK]

#1 Would love to see that as well.

#2 Loved these little things in phpBB and missing in bbpress

#3 have you tried:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbp-signature/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/

bbPress.org plugin repo is useless for bbPress plugin, but you could check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress

These plugins are WP plugins for bbPress, and you can install from WP Admin just like normal WP plugins

[SK]

Yup, feel free to pitch in at GlotPress

[Carlosgr]

Now it worked! the name of the files were false.

I see no everything is translated, so i guess I’ll have to support with more translations.

Thanks!

[SK]

If you have wp-lang set in wp-config that should be enough

[Carlosgr]

Thanks OC2PS, but I already did what it says there and is not working, because I don’t have a bb-config.php file to identify the language that I want in my forum.

[SK]

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-should-i-place-the-language-files

[SK]

I’m technically illiterate so need some help understanding this.

On the bbPress pages, I am using CSS to hide sidebar…something like

.bbp-forum #primary {

display: none;

}

My question is: Is the sidebar is still loaded (on server, in browser) and just not displayed, or do I by simply styling it out of view also save some time on page loading?

[Carlosgr]

Hi there,

i just installed the newest version of the bbpress plugin and I want to have the spanish translation activated. I already uploaded the .mo and .po files but now I don’t find the bb-config.php file anywhere to change the language to es_ES.

Where can I activate the spanish version then?

Any help will be much appreciated.

[common8308]

Thank you so much for the fast reply, JJJ.

It works perfectly fine now!! Many thanks!

[MaTaX91]

oh well still what exactly does that mean?

basically I right clicked the folder titled “bbpress” which I emptied before hand, then i click on checkout and added that url, and then it filled the folder with all the files and it works perfectly but no sub-forum related styles?

me = confused
