Hi Robin,

Would you be able to assist with this. I have got the code that i would like to change the min height so that the option in the drop down box fits nicely.

on the Topic Type and Topic Status drop down box, the font of the drop down selection is way too big and it looks cut off.I want to make sure the selection eg. “Normal”, “Sticky” etc fits nicely in the drop down box

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input[type=text], #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form select
{
min-height: 35px;}

I tried with ! important and it doesnt fix the formatting. Not sure why. I inserted this in the css section in bbstyle pack.
Thanks

sorry, if it were that easy, bbpress would already do it.

Nothing I know of does this, and it is beyond my technical skills

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Billy Wilcosky]

Hello,

I just put up a new bbPress community to help promote bbPress, but also to give away a simple, responsive, fast theme.

https://www.flutterum.com/forums/topic/version-1-0-released/

This is my first bbPress (or WordPress) theme. Future versions may include things like a main menu but for now, you will see that I suggest that you simply use any WordPress responsive menu plugin.

I hope folks find this useful. It can be difficult at times to find a fast, minimal, and free theme for bbPress.

I’m using the latest WordPress and installed the latest BBpress.

Installed fine but can the life of me work out what is the URL link to access BBpress within WordPress as a user. http://www.domain.com/forums ?

Very simple question why is this not mentioned in the installation notes.

Hello, due to GDPR I need to know if BBpress sends any data to thrid party or wordpress. Thanks

[Robin W]

ok so the issue is your theme is not showing the sidebar on mobiles, not that bbpress is doing anything wrong.

I’d suggest you add login and logout to your menu

either

or

install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

My website sidebar can only be seen in desktop only and doesn’t show at all on mobile phones.

This is the issue because bbPress login widget is on my sidebar only.
So, I’m confused that from where mobile users can login and logout?

[Robin W]

It is not a bbpress issue (bbpress does not prevent whole sidebars showing) but come back and I’ll see if I can help further.

so that sidebar doesn’t show at all to the mobile, or doesn’t show to logged in users?

[ritishsharma]

Thankyou for you reply. I’ve checked and everything is working perfectly fine.
I just want to know that I used bbPress login form widget in my sidebar. Now a login form with links to registration and lost password recovery pages is appearing in my sidebar. Logged in users would see their usernames and a logout link instead of the form.

But problem is that sidebar doesn’t show on mobile phones. So, how are users supposed to logout once they create an account?

Or, maybe I’m unable to find it, cause I’m new in this.
Will you please tell me where to find login and logout option in mobile version?

Thankyou

[Robin W]

hmmm…

Titles are not put in that part as default – bbpress uses the theme/page to do that, so I would not expect to see an <h2> tag after the <div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">

do you have a theme or plugin that is altering bbpress display?

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

it shows fine in my test site

it could be a theme or plugin issue

I wish I could but the way that bbPress has implemented the CSS there is no middle.

Please review the screenshots I took

Index page with forum title
https://monosnap.com/file/tKb4Y6GEkWf2GUMB88ghljeprh37Nt

Topic page with topic question
https://monosnap.com/file/M3hhJhX7wW4on9Ym2s4ecMcFqmjHOj

This is the code that bbPress outputs for both the index page and topic page title

<div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">
<h2>main forum topipc</h2>

If I get rid of one I get rid of the other one 🙁

Still searching for a solution.

[ritishsharma]

I’ve just installed bbPress plugin to create a General discussion page.
The thing is, first users will register themselves by creating an account on the forum page. But how they are supposed to Logout from the page in the mobile version?
I’ve already put a login widget on the sidebar, in which I can see the logout option (in desktop) when users are already logged in. But I can’t see the same on mobile, because most of the users use mobile.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

[neon67]

write the css selector #bbpress-forums ???? h2 more precisely – there will be a difference

[neon67]

in the menu (after installing bbpress) Nothing will appear – you must create and customize the menu yourself.
Or use bbpress shortcodes for home page.

Hi,

I found that when BbPress is activated wp-login.php redirect me to homepage but I am logged in. It does let me in but not straight to the wp-admin dashboard page, I do have to click to go to the admin page even tough I am logged in. How do I fix that?

Thanks in advance,

Kindly,

[Dominique D. Wilson]

Thanks, my site is live, but I took a chance since I didn’t understand what you meant about troubleshooting.

I deactivated the All-In-One SEO plugin and then bbPress. Then I reactivated bbPress and it worked. I hope that reactivating AIOSEO will not cause any issues.

Thanks for your help!

Hi, I installed bbPress and activated the plugin, but nothing happens when I do. There are no new menu items on my WordPress dashboard, there are no bbPress options in the “settings” area. However, if I go to mysite.com/forums, I can see that a page was created.

I have no way to customize the plugin because there is no access to any settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
