ok that is not bbpress, so what plugin is doing that ?

[ritishsharma]

Alright.
It means that users who already registered on my website doesn’t need to register for bbPress again.

But any other users or users from different wordpress website needs to.

[ritishsharma]

Yes,
I have just one little query.
Do users who already have wordpress account (not specifically on my site only), like WordPress.com users with different website, also need to register first on my bbPress forum?

[ritishsharma]

I’m using bbpress for the first time to create a general discussion page. Therefore, before launching it publically I myself created a forum and one topic inside that forum for a testing purpose.
But I see that the topic count of that forum showing zero even though I created one topic by myself.

Although the topic is showing fine when I open the forum, it isn’t counting it on the forum index page.

Is there anything I’m doing wrong?, or Is it an issue with bbpress?

[Robin W]

ok, several ways to go about it, these are in no particular order

a ) as it is a paid theme with presumably support – ask the theme provider – most will say it is out of scope, but occasionally you get lucky.

b) see this link – item 8

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

c) this plugin is old but still works, and lets you try different theme templates to see if they work better

bbPress WP Tweaks

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

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

Then come back

you don’t seem to have bbpress active at the moment

Hello,

I have the latest version of WordPress and BBPress installed on my website but for some reason the topics aren’t showing and it’s just a blank page when you click on General Discussion.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

With so many add-ons in modern themes, I wondered if anyone can tell me that buddypress or bbpress is the tool that adds the full page-length author column to my topics pages? I would include an image of the page, but uploads appear to not be supported.

Here is a link to the page, “etilley” is the author name that I want to hide/remove from all of these topic pages.

Hello,
So i am wondering is there any easy way to create a new forum/sub-forum automatically for every new wordpress post? For example lets say i am creating a new post for a movie named ‘Iron Man’ , what i want is when the post ‘Iron man’ is posted in wordpress , a new forum named ‘Iron Man’ is posted on bbpress forum automatically.
There is already a plugin for creating a new topic for new wp post but unfortunately thre is none for creating a new forum for a new wp post.It would be great if someone could guide me how to create a new forum for every new wp post, Thanks 🙂

Hi, I’m looking to create a site that mimics this site’s functionalities: https://guitarpatches.com/index.php

So what I need is to be able to let people upload specific file types without being logged in.
Listing all the files with whatever description/categories/tags and having the possibility for people to leave a rating, like a 5 stars style rating system, and leave comments.

Or do I even need a BB type plugin to be able to do that?

Thanks

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

[Robin W]

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

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.

[phpnukes]

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

https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-the-wordpress-logout-link-to-navigation-menu/#:~:text=Simply%20head%20over%20to%20the,appear%20in%20the%20right%20column.

or

install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

[ritishsharma]

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
