Since I cannot upload an image, I would ask you to go to the site using the enclosed link: http://bridgeshealthservices.com

In the navbar/menu, originally I only had home, about, services, forums, contact.

Now however I have unwanted menu items; login, lost password, and register added.

I do not want; login, lost password, and register in the main menu. They only appeared in the main menu/navbar after I set up bbpress. And even if I deactivate bbpress pack they remain.

I can find no way to eliminate these unwanted items from the menu. I have tried deactivating all bbpress, turned off all plugins, hard reloaded site deleting the cache, etc..

I am at a loss of how to make them go away.

I am using:
WordPress version 5.5.1,
BBPress Version 2.6.5

Thanks for your help!

bbPress 2.6.5

I have just finished updating WP to 5.0.10 and suddenly bbPress doesn’t work. The plugin is active. Forums, topics and replies appear in the admin, but clicking topics in the menu returns a 404 error:
https://forums.typeheritage.com/

Many thanks for your help, Anna

ProfileGrid has a bbPress integration extension. I would like to add a bbPress forum to each group, but allow both group members and non group members to access/contribute to the group bbPress forums.

Is this possible? Is this a WP user permissions settings or a bbPress setting?

ThankS!

[Robin W]

activate bbpress

then

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

then deactivate and delete

[muza11]

i have deactivated and uninstalled the plugin. but when active, i removed the roles manually. now in profile tab (/wp-admin/profile.php) at the bottom this is shown
Additional Capabilities
Capabilities bbp_keymaster

how to remove it? do i need to reinstall and reset and uninstall?

We understand that Yoast and bbPress may not be fully integrated. We have an open-issue report here: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/7332 which seeks to do that. We suggest commenting on the issue so you may be kept aware of updates. You may need to create an account in order to do that.

For information. Solution Found = Tag Groups Plugin

You can create several general pages(shortcodes, widjets…) with different profiles and group to one taxonomy bbpress, blogs, woocommerc… according to many characteristics.

One more thing I just thought of. Watch out for bbpress.min.css (and any other “min” files when overriding both css and javascript). These min files are compressed versions of the regular css and js files. So bbpress.min.css will will be used in preference to bbpress.css. If you want to override things without disturbing any of the files in the plugin, you’ll need to first edit bbpress.css and then generate bbpress.min.css from that. There are various tools to do this, but I only know about the ones on Linux.

As I say, if you don’t want to do any of this, there are plugins that may do the job. I think Robin makes one.

[Robin W]

the original file is in

bbpress\bbpress.2.6.5\bbpress\templates\default\css\bbpress.css

BUT as Mike says, you should either make changes in your theme’s CHILD theme, or copy the bbpress.css to your CHILD theme

so copy the abive file to

/wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/css/

and make changes there

[Mike Witt]

I am not an expert on this, but what I do it to make a css subdirectory in my child theme. In that directory, css files should override the css in plugins (if they provide for the possibility of overrides, which bbPress does).

There are more details here: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-2

And here: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/

And there are also some plugins that can do these things for you.

[llaves]

I’m sure this has been addressed the past, but I can’t find it anywhere – sorry.
I want to edit the bbpress.css file, but I can’t find it.
From the dashboard I select Appearance->Theme Editor, but I can’t find bbpress.css in the list of files, so this must not be the right place to look.
So, how do I find the bbpress.css file to edit?

How to make one common page for blog and forum tags?
Now tags lead to different pages
BLOG: site / tag / tagname /
BBPRESS: site / forums / topic-tag / tagname /

tagname are the same

Necessary: clicking the tag icon (in blog or forum)->> redirect to the general page of the tag (common for blog and forum)

May be plugin?

[Robin W]

hmmm… the code works fine on my test site.

I can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, 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.

Then come back

My original import instructions are from v2 bbpress 7years ago.

[stefyonweb]

Hi everyone, although 4 years have passed, I hope someone can help me 🙂
I’m trying to import a snitz database following these instructions, but I can only import users and “reply” table.
Analyzing forum table configuration I noticed, comparing the snitz.php file with the other files, that

‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_forum_id’

whereas in all the other files it’s

‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_old_forum_id’

I tried changing the value but had no success, though.

Maybe it depends on the fact that new bbPress version uses “post” and “postmeta” tables instead of custom bbPress tables?

I searched for ad updated snitz.php file but didn’t find any.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hello,
Our association is using a bbpress forum to debate. Some responses are very long making it hard to have a general vue one a small screen. Do you know a plugin that could add a “read more” button after x characters, like an “excerpt” on a WP post ?
Thanks for your help or suggestions 🙂

[Robin W]

your theme/elementor is doing this, not bbpress

suggest you look in your theme colors to see if you can change

background-color:#020413;

[kikismedia]

I saw a code on stackoverflow for bbpress annyomous (@robin-w it’s actually a good idea o but hard to code

[Robin W]

has been asked before an JJJ who wrote most of bbpress says it would be really hard to code.

[Robin W]

These are all issues with your theme, not bbpress.

However in the spirit of helpfulness, I’ll do this last one, but after that you need to refer to your theme’s support channels.

So the best I can do without spending considerable time is :

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
	position: relative !important ;
}

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-author {
	padding-left: 0px !important;
}

Which puts it on then left, but is not perfect

[nayanboost]

Hello, I want to know is there any settings in bbpress where a user could be a moderator automatically? I have faced such an issue. I want to deactivate that settings. This is urgent, please help.

[smith512]

I am worried about that “GD Power Search for bbPress” is not verified my wordpress version.
Do you intend to update this?

[Robin W]

yes this seems to be a bug.

in

\bbpress\includes\forums\functions.php

line 197 has

// No forum parent was passed (should never happen)
	if ( empty( $forum_parent_id ) ) {
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_new_forum_missing_parent', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your forum must have a parent.', 'bbpress' ) );

but a top level forum will have zero so empty !

(I’m not a bbpress author, I just help moderate here, so not under my direct powers to change)

To correct this for another user, I did the following :

created a hidden forum – then noted the ID (in this case 4537)

then in

\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-forum.php

changed line 138 etc. from

<p>
						<label for="bbp_forum_parent_id"><?php esc_html_e( 'Parent Forum:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />

						<?php
							bbp_dropdown( array(
								'select_id' => 'bbp_forum_parent_id',
								'show_none' => esc_html__( '&mdash; No parent &mdash;', 'bbpress' ),
								'selected'  => bbp_get_form_forum_parent(),
								'exclude'   => bbp_get_forum_id()
							) );
						?>
					</p>

to

<?php
					//the code in incudes/forums/functions won't let post parent be blank.
					//to get this to work, we have created a hidden forum in the site.  This forums ID is 4537
					//if the hidden forum exists, then use this forums id 
					//otherwise show the post parent section
					$forum_parent_id = bbp_get_forum_id( 4537 );
					if (!empty( $forum_parent_id )) { ?>
					 <input type="hidden" id="bbp_forum_parent_id" name="bbp_forum_parent_id" value="4537">
					 <?php
					}
					else {
					?>
					<p>
						<label for="bbp_forum_parent_id"><?php esc_html_e( 'Parent Forum:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />

						<?php
							bbp_dropdown( array(
								'select_id' => 'bbp_forum_parent_id',
								'show_none' => esc_html__( '&mdash; No parent &mdash;', 'bbpress' ),
								'selected'  => bbp_get_form_forum_parent(),
								'exclude'   => bbp_get_forum_id()
							) );
						?>
					</p>
					<?php } ?>

This template then gets saved to your child themes directory as

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Finally, add an action to re-write the parent forum from 4537 to zero post forum creation

add_action( 'bbp_new_forum_post_extras', 'ltc_limit_forum', 10 ,1  );

function ltc_limit_forum ($forum_id) {
	//this function is fired when a forum is created
	//set post parent to zero
	wp_update_post(
		array(
			'ID' => $forum_id, 
			'post_parent' => 0
			)
	);
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

or use

Code Snippets

You could amend that function to have an if statement so if forum parent is 4537 then create forum parent as 0, but in this case there were no times when a sub forum was being created, so it was not needed.

I know this is quite convoluted, but it worked !!

There is a trac ticket for this issue somewhere, so the authors are aware
