I see what you mean. I’m not sure, I played around with the CSS but couldn’t get it to work either.

It’s worth noting that bbPress 2.1 actually has switched to a tableless layout

[Jared Atchison]

Hmm I see what you mean.

I’m not sure where that is coming from. That portion (the heading) is controlled by your theme, not bbPress.

If you switched your theme to TwentyEleven my guess is that the problem would go away.

You will have to look and see if you can find what code the theme is using and it might help track down where this is coming from.

[Jared Atchison]

To my knowledge there is no “switch” that turns them off.

I believe you will need to edit your theme to remove where the tags are being called.

I figured out the forum was based off of page.php in my themes directory. I just modified page.php the way I wanted it and it is working great. Thanks!

[DarwinsDream]

Does anyone know what php pages edit the content of the embeded bbpress page?

example:

http://www.soundhampton.com/?forum=news

I would like to edit out aspects of the page and move acpects of it to the bottom.

ie. Move “This forum contains” box to the bottom maybe removing altogether

Also editing the create a topic box…. maybe there is good plugin im not sure ive been buried in the coding of this and havent found anything.

I would like to moderate all forum posts before they are published..

We all know the amount of spam out there and how this can impact the image of a forum. People can get offended, they can click on bad quality links, search engines could penalize your site cause of the presence of bad outgoing links etc. etc. The simple solution would be to have an option to moderate posts before they are published.

But surprisingly enough, it is not there and there seems to be no way to activate such a feature except if you are some coding genius. No pugins (that work with the latest version) or any simple workaround or am I missing something?

Is there any way this can be achieved or is this an impossibility for someone whoz not too good with coding?

Just installed bbpress 2.0.2 in WordPress 3.3.1. I am going to want the user databases to be shared. Have read forums for hours on this issue but most deal with much older versions. I am new at WordPress so this may be simple and I am just missing it.

An article I found on this forum indicates the following:

In the “WordPress Integration” section of the “Settings” area in your bbPress admin you will find a “User Role Map”. I do not see a WordPress Integration section in the Settings area of bbpress. It only has a few main settings and slug stuff.

Please advise?

[thetalltree]

Any other updates on how you can moderate posts prior to them getting published? I think this is one of the “MOST” basic function that one expects from a good forum software. I am surprised that such a basic function is missing from this software including some very basic profile features.

I think it is important that the developers/owners of bbpress write/disclose this (lack of features) clearly on the homepage of the site so everyone will know what they are going to deal with once they install the software. Would save someone who absolutely requires these basic features a lot of time.

I spent quite a few days installing and configuring the software only to find out later that such simple features are missing and there is no way to install them except by hiring a high end developer and spending loads of money.

The software in its current form is great for running an internal/private/inhouse forum but not a public forum.

HI there,

sounds to me that you have missed a couple simple but necessary steps:

1) You need to ensure that the sitewide forums have been installed as well as the buddypress group forum. Both are installed from the “forums” tab of the buddypress setup menu;

2) You need to be sure to delete AND empty the trash, of any page slug that was created which has “forums” as its name. This is necessary to allow the sitewide forums to use that slug.

3) Be sure that you create a new page for buddypress group forums that is anything other than “forums” (call it “group-forums” for example)

4) Be sure to go to Settings/Permalinks and hit “save” one time after all of this is setup.

We’ve done a little tutorial video to show how you can setup either a BuddyPress Group Forum, a SiteWide bbPress 2.0 Forum, or a custom hybrid forum page using shortcodes. You can have all three at one time. Hope this helps

Do you find a way to disable tags?? Im looking for the same

[Millen]

Is my questions stupid or why is no one answering?

I’m not asking for help on how to learn CSS I know that perfectly fine. I would just like to be pointed to some documentation or information on how to mkae it possible to theme bbpress. Maybe someone personally got this very same problem and could help me out with some hints.

Thanks again!

Hi everyone.

I have a problem at the moment with the heading in my forums list. It always names itself the last forum I created. Please check my site. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? I’m running version 2.1 of bbPress.

Thanks for your help!

[Jared Atchison]

Thanks for your response.

I’m going to take a look at that plugin and see why it’s not working and see if I can fix it.

I’ll try to get the author to updated the plugin with a fix, if not I’ll fork the plugin.

Anyways thanks for the kind works and I’m glad you are taking a fancy to the bbPress project

Please let us know whenever you have any questions and we will do our best to help!

Hi Jaredatch – thank you for looping back to me and your links … i did indeed read in a post by John James Jacoby about security issue(s) so i can appreciate that … i also tested the plugin you mention but it kicked out errors which i posted in the WP forums so perhaps the plugin author will have info or fix down the road ..??..

in a bit of thinking outloud and in the for-whatever-its-worth depts … the first time i saw shortcodes work in a WP forum solution was with Simple:Press plugin … i was actually suprised that shortcodes did work and then i got excited about using them – e.g., wrapping some forum content so that it was public, while other forum content reserved to be private and require login … also, the audio shortcode to play clips within forum posts, all of which was cool … thus not sure if Simple:Press introduces security issues by allowing shortcodes or not ..??..

my only problem with Simple:Press was / is that it was too much configuration (in turning off stuff) and i liked the clean, minimalism inherent in bbPress … and now that it is plugin and works within WP, means i’m throwing my hat in this bbPress forum ring and look forward to seeing it’s ongoing growth …

in the meantime, i’ve had to rethink my shortcode issue – namely media files … e.g., where do i put these files in WP if i don’t want to create a post for them, but have them referenced from within forum posts … which lead me to discover a really cool program, open source, and share as fyi in case others might be interested …

the program = http://ajaxplorer.info … it comes with a bridge for WP so user accounts can be shared by both … it is a file manager of sorts for your web site that makes it pretty easy to keep files private or make them shareable … i’m almost done testing this and i’m pretty sure at this point that it will be my go to tool to upload media files*, then create the shared-encrypted links, then put those links into my bbPress forum posts … thus keeping my forums to mostly text, yet linking out to media files as need be via using Ajaxplorer …

lastly, i just wanted to go on record with BIG gratitude for all the hard work your bbPress team does in helping the rest of us in the WP worlds have really nice forum solution – Kudos to you and your seed – and i hope the Divine blesses you all for i certainly feel blessed / lucky to have tools like bbPress and forums like this for knowledge sharing – THANK YOU!

cordially, chuck scott

*yes i know that i could use WP Media Gallery but that gets a bit unruley since uploads are stored in blog-id-year-month folders … thus if i had ten pop tunes i wanted to upload to server, easier to create a dedicate library system with folder called music and subfolders under that … then it is easier to add new files to those folder collections versus having to track down different folders and try to remember what is in the 2011 folder vs 2012 let alone what blog-id it might have been uploaded under but i digress …

I want to make the corners rounder, more smooth. And make the bakground at the forumheader red.

I’m not that familiar with CSS i’m afraid.

[Number_6]

I was thinking so, yes.

I downloaded it. And maybe I’m stupid. But how do I use it to identify the CSS of the tables in one of the many many many CSS files Buddypress & bbpress use?

[Jared Atchison]

I’m not quite sure I understand.

It’s all controlled through your CSS like was mentioned here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-forum-color#post-100130

FOLLOW UP:

This may help someone. I had not deactivated all the plugins from both bbPress installations. When I did, it imported, with a few errors as it did create by users and users meta tables. Fortunately I had done my own backup of the database. So, I pulled those two sections of the backup and imported them back into the database. Users, meta, and login are now working.

I still have a problem with the admin side of things though. When I select “Forums” – it gives me this incorrect link http://stratoliner.me/wp-admin/admin.php?page=edit.php?post_type=forum when it should be http://stratoliner.me/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum. The first errors with insufficient permissions and the latter goes to the forums.

I have disabled any and all plugins to test and I still get the first error!

I sure could use some help.
