looking at that suggestion, not sure what 1 & 2 are trying to do – not a section I wrote !

so to move them out of bbpress, then yes, use css and do this

div.bbp-breadcrumb {
 display: none; /*this will hide all breadcrumbs*/
 }

put this in your theme’s custom css file.

The other part will be theme dependant – are you creating a theme or using an existing one?

Hi,
I’m trying to move the breadcrumbs out of the forum container and to the top of the page as explained in the codex here:
http://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#7-how-can-i-remove-all-the-breadcrumbs-from-the-templates-and-set-them-at-the-top-of-the-page

However, if I create a bbpress.php file (or copy the one from the plugins folder) in the root of my child theme it breaks the forum completely!.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

[Robin W]

the easiest way is

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics Index Styling and tick item 16 don’t show this message

if you want to do it using FTP then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-topics.php

transfer this to your pc and remove

<div class="bbp-template-notice">
	<ul>
		<li><?php esc_html_e( 'Oh, bother! No topics were found here.', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
	</ul>
</div>

and save (this file must exist, but we just make it empty!)

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/feedback-no-topics.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Anyone coming new to this thread, I have added a revised version of this plugin to my site which can be downloaded from

bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online

This plugin is one which WordPress withdrew as it violated their guidelines (suspected to be listing users without login, but not certain).

You can download and use, but I offer no support or warranty that this code works !

[Robin W]

I am just a guy who sites in his kitchen and writes code for enjoyment, and I like to try and help others on the forums.

I do not get paid to do this, I have no connection with bbpress and all code (inc wordpress and bbpress) is offered under OSF, which is that it is free, open source to allow others to amend it, and offered with no support and no warranty that it does anything.

bbpress authors are free to decide what they put in their code, as am I. I do not suggest what should be in bbpress, nor do I consider that they should take any notice of me.

The topics for posts plugin has not been updated for a while because the authors do not choose to do so, that is their right, it is free code offered at the point of publishing. You are free to learn php and update and amend it as you wish.

I am not author of topics for posts, I have just been granted access as I wish to update it, which I will do when I am ready to do so.

[Ricsca2]

Article comments should be integrated into defoult’s bbpress in my opinion.

bbPress Topics for Posts

I do not understand why this function does not actually exist and wordpress mentine these two desired services. In this way today few people leave comments and few people write in the forum …
I saw that the creatre of this plugin is @Robin W so I would like to ask him why wodpress doesn’t take this option into consideration.
Also I’d like to ask why this plugin hasn’t been updated in a while.
Thanks

[uksentinel]

I am running a little custom CSS custom code to underline all my Hyperlinks on my BBPRESS forum, which work well, but I now wish to not underline Topics – can anybody advise addition code needed ?

Thanks:

main a {
text-decoration: underline !important;
}

I think this was why:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-advanced-statistics-logged-out/

I have only just noticed this. I use the “bbPress Advanced Statistics” plugin as I like the way it presents the data at the bottom on the forum page.

However, if I “log out”, it still lists all the names of the users from the last 24 hours. That is not right. It should only list last 24 forum activity if a user is logged in. Technically it is exposing users names for a non logged in user when I don’t want it to.

[Chuckie]

Yes, I have the code. And originally it was available and after I made my first concern about it exposing usernames when it shouldn’t somebody decided (somehow) to lock it online in the plugin repository.

This is my current plugin (with my corrected code discussed above):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vjovpjnk22gxcct/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online.zip?dl=0

[Robin W]

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

find line 45

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

and delete this line and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

bbpress does not show online users. Probably theme or another plugin doing this.

[sbask]

Some… but not all… users are reporting that they are logged into the forum but the site is not showing that they are online

Offline
Topics: 136
Replies: 15303

I’ve tried to repro the issue but it’s not occurring for everyone. We recently upgraded the bbpress to the latest and still working through some oddities.

[sbask]

Do I have to stay in version 2.5 for life?

We are currently on version 5.6 and see this same behavior occur. Specifically: Trashed items that end up in the drafts folder

Here’s the explanation:

In trying to deal with the above post (which was a spammer), the ?view=all link in the report failed to show the trashed post, and I was unable to click on the (+1 hidden). Removed the ?view=all from the URL and reloaded the page. I was able to click on (+1 hidden), but no trashed posts appeared.

Clicking on the post quote’s hyperlink did reveal the “missing” post.

By my way of thinking, both links should be able to show you the related trashed/spammed post. If the ?view=all suffix isn’t working, why not, please? It’s part of the platform’s infrastructure…

Ok, Susan. there is a bug!

These items now appear to be landing in the DRAFTS folder. This is not normal behaviour, and bypasses moderation. It needs to be fixed!

[SciFiKriss]

Hi guys

Is there anyone who can do an importer from Asgaros to BBPress?

I am no good with script or databases… 🙂

Thanks in advance

Hey, @robin-w, and I can confirm that the problem is the format for subscriptions that changed in bbPress 2.6 (from usermeta to postmeta), so the old version of my plugin the @sbask uses was released almost 2 years ago, and bbPress 2.6 was not yet released, so it doesn’t support the change in the subscriptions format.

[Milan Petrovic]

Hey @sbask, I see that you use my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro, and the view it creates. I have not noticed that it has the issue you describe, but I will check it out. It would be beneficial if you can open the topic in the official support forum, and share more details about the problem so we can debug it.

Also, you are using a fairly outdated version (5.6) that might be having issues with bbPress 2.6, while the latest one is 6.3. bbPress 2.6 has made changes to the way it handles subscriptions, and old GD bbPress Toolbox Pro most likely was still using the old subscriptions method.

[maskis]

Thank you for your answer!

You were right, most of my problems were due to not having sidebar on the homepage. This is now fixed!

I encountered now more frustrating problem. When I use the shortcode above on my homepage, the forum is displayed in default template. In the actual Forum-pages the template is alternate forum template 1 (I´m using bbPress Style Pack plugin). I would like the homepage view to be alternative forum template 1 too.

In Style Pack plugin “Not Working?” section reads as follows:

“It’s not working !!
It may be as simple as closing and restarting your browser, so try this first !!

If that doesn’t work…

Background
Style pack works with many/most sites, but it can fail due to a myriad of reasons, including (but no means limited to) site permissions, php versions, other plugins and most often site themes where the theme author has altered bbpress files.

This is no-ones fault – whilst I can control how bbpress performs, there are many thousands of plugins and themes, all of which may be trying to amend the same stuff as I am, and many host poviders who will have differing but equally valid permission and code versions.

Problem finding
1. “caching” software that speeds up the download of your site, but may not recognise and immediately make changes from my plugin

Do you know if you are using caching software? If so then try refreshing, purging or deactivating to see if this fixes.

If you still have the issue, we need to work out which parts are working and which not

We need to look at 2 areas – files and css

2. Files
If your theme author has changed bbpress files in his theme, this will be for valid reason, which may relate to either style or functionality

No bbpress files have been changed in the theme

3. CSS
If css had loaded then the text below will have a green background, if it has not loaded this will be a red background

This sentance should have a green background

If the background is red, then try amending the “css location” tab above

check the activate box and set the location to
wp-content/uploads/
and save these changes
and then come back and re-check this area.”

I´m not using any cache plugin at least to my knowledge. I´ve also tried to unactivate all of the other plugins than bbPress, Style Pack and BuddyPress. This makes no difference.

Can´t find any settings that would force the homepage view on the theme to be any different than on any other sections of my site.

Any clues, what could I do to fix the problem?

[Robin W]

if I had to guess, I’d probably guess that you are using [bbp-forum-index] on a gutenberg block page, and that you have either not used the shortocde block, or have code blocks in the page.

The bits in your pasteboard are before bbpress fires

[Robin W]

ok, it is not a problem I have seen and bbpress has 300,000 installations, so I cannot say why you are seeing it and without site access I cannot say how to hide it, as that would take me working it out from your screeshots which is beyond free help

[rjrjrjrj]

Same thing with 2020. I only have bbpress and woocommerce. As you probably realize, I will not be deactivating woocommerce.

[hayleyenchanted]

I’m using bbpress with memberpress for my membership site. It automatically added a “Forum Profile” tab on the account page. Is there a way to edit and/or remove this tab?

[Robin W]

bbpress doesn’t have visual editor as default

but this link to a visual link plugin might catcah attention if more request it to the plugin authirs by adding to the post

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-to-help-use-it-available-in-bbpress/

[Robin W]

ok, no idea what is causing that

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

[rjrjrjrj]

I did not try other themes, but in 20 16 I see some artifacts above and below the forum. Are they necessary? How can I get rid of them? We are on WP 5.6 and bbpress 2.6.6
