lists re very subjective – what I find useful you will find useless or not how you want it.
https://colorlib.com/wp/bbpress-plugins/
gives a list
I’d add bbp style pack to that list, but I wrote it, so I’m biased
bbp style pack
That plugin also lists other plugins that I have found added value to forums
Hello.
Larger font (from 16 and more) creates a line break of the forum headings.
E.g. “Theme”, and then “n” on the next line.
Unfortunately the font in BBPress is too small (much smaller than the rest of WP) and I wanted to enlarge it with the plugin “bbp Style pack”.
But 16 size forum headings are not big enough either.
Hello.
I have installed WordPress.
For testing, also MyBB in /forum.
I ask myself the question, is BBpress an alternative to extra forum scripts now?
A few years ago, BBPress was quite rudimentary, wasn’t it? Did this change?
Can BBpress keep up with all available plugins in the range of functions with forum scripts such as SMF, MyBB, phpBB etc.
Is there a good clear list of all plugins for BBPress?
Possibly with usage ranking. There will be a reason if certain plugins are used very often.
But also curated recommendations.
The plugin list here is very “simple”.
21 pages with 10 plugins each, not sortable, no recommendations or rating based on usage (not quality rating) …
I saw user avatars. But there may be different plugins for the purpose.
Or a map with the members.
I don’t know where to start.
And doesn’t want to try out hundreds of plugins.
E.g. such an insignificant little thing as using homemade forum icons.
I don’t know what to do if there’s no login name visible. Actually I thought there always was one (in forums running bbPress/BuddyPress). Can you click on the user in question and go to their profile?
Hi @cassel,
The at sign is used with the user’s login name, not the display name. Logins are unique. Of course a user might have the same display and login name, but it’s the login that’s used in the mention. Notice that my display name is my full name, but you would mention me as mike80222.
I believe that BuddyPress handles notifying a user when they are mentioned, although I am also unsure about the exact boundaries between BuddyPress and bbPress responsibilities.
I am not sure if I am not doing it right, but I am not sure how to get to tag someone with @someone correctly.
I might have more than one user with the same display name (currently, I have two Susan in one thread) and I would like to identify which one I am responding to. However, if I put @Susan, I have no clue which one will be tagged.
I am also using BuddyPress, so I am not sure if it is controlled by bbPress or BuddyPress (or even by WordPress for all I know).
Can someone point me to a way to tag/mention someone correctly when I respond?
May someone please help me? Why is bbpress sending users to my admin url to login? I disabled all of my plugins, and this did not resolve the problem.
you can dequeue from bbpress and then reload as you wish
so for styles
add_filter( 'bbp_default_styles', 'rew_dequeue_bbpress_css' ) ;
function rew_dequeue_bbpress_css ($defaults ){
unset ($defaults['bbp-default']) ;
return $defaults ;
}
and re-enqueue it using your own function
ok, thanks, but sorry I can’t really help further.
I will state again that WordPress handles both registration and login, and as long as you don’t use the login widgets or shortcodes then bbpress should not be involved.
I hope you get a resolution
Hello,
I’m running a fresh install of WordPress from the bitnami helm chart using persistent storage on an NFS share. The path used by the containers is /bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/ to pull in plugins/etc. When I install bbPress, all of the css files and js files use the wrong path to include the assets.
Here’s an example:
<link rel='stylesheet' id='bbp-default-css' href='https://example.com/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.min.css'>
<script type='text/javascript' src='https://example.com/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.min.js?ver=2.6.5'>
I haven’t had any issues with other plugins thus far, but for some reason bbPress is wanting to use the full installation path instead of the web root. Is there a way of fixing this with some WP constant that I’m not setting? The installation of wordpress is in /opt/bitnami/wordpress and wp-content/ and wp-config.php are symlink’d to /bitnami/wordpress/wp-content and /bitnami/wordpress/wp-config.php.
I have a temporary fix right now which will be wiped out when bbPress updates.
File: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php
function bbp_enqueue_style( $handle = '', $file = '', $deps = array(), $ver = false, $media = 'all' ) {
// Attempt to locate an enqueueable
$located = bbp_locate_enqueueable( $file );
//Ghetto fix
$located = str_replace('/bitnami/wordpress', '', $located);
function bbp_enqueue_script( $handle = '', $file = '', $deps = array(), $ver = false, $in_footer = false ) {
// Attempt to locate an enqueueable
$located = bbp_locate_enqueueable( $file );
//Ghetto fix
$located = str_replace('/bitnami/wordpress', '', $located);
Hey there, I tried using the translation part of the bbp style pack plugin, while assuming, that once I was able to fix the translations I would then fix the CSS styling issues I have mentioned above (this would just take a little work on my behalf). Anyway, even though it says you have to play around with it to get it right (e.g. add the full stop if there is one etc.), I was not able to implement the translations. I am sure it has something to do with the way my site is set up and not the plugin itself, but alas, I had to find a different option.
So, here is my frontend Javascript solution. I noticed that I have to put e.g. “weeks” before “week” in the object for it to work (i.e. plural before singular). For anyone who wants to know, the word “aktualisiert” refers to the English word “updated”, (as the verb goes to the end of the sentence in German it is slightly tricky to just translate “this was last updated…..”).
I am not sure if anyone needs this, but as I require help with my website from time to time from people like those at bbpress (thx btw), if I can be of any help, I would like to. This is an IIFE btw:
/* WB- translate some dodgy sentences (part English/ part German) */
var translate = function () {
//check if the page is a forum page. If not, return function
var isForum = document.querySelector("#bbpress-forums");
if (!isForum) return;
// find if either forum or topic description (topic is one level lower in the forum where people can answer individual posts. forum is where all the sub-topics are listed
var forum = document.querySelector(".bbp-forum-description");
var description = document.querySelector(".bbp-topic-description");
//If not on either the forum description page or the forum topic page, return
if (!forum && !description) return;
//set a variable to add the innerHTML to
var d_text;
if (forum) {
// if forum has no topics make no tranlation changes and hide the "Oh bother.... div"
if (forum.innerText === "Dieses Forum ist leer."){
var oh_both_text = document.querySelectorAll(".bbp-template-notice");
oh_both_text[1].style.display = "none";
return;
}
d_text = forum.innerHTML;
}
if (description) {
d_text = description.innerHTML;
}
// create object with list to translate (name: = English, value = Deutsch)
var d_obj = {
"This forum has": "Dieses Forum hat",
"This topic has": "Dieses Thema hat",
"This category has":"Diese Kategorie hat",
"This topic is empty":"Dieses Thema ist leer",
"hidden":"verdeckt",
"and was last updated": "und wurde zuletzt",
"seconds": "Sekunden",
"minutes": "Minuten",
"hours": "Stunden",
"days":"Tagen",
"day": "Tag",
"weeks":"Wochen",
"week": "Woche",
"months": "Monaten",
"month": "Monat",
"years":"Jahren",
"year":"Jahr",
"by": "von"
}
// use Replace method to run through innerHTML and replace English text with German
d_text = d_text.replace(/This forum has|This topic has|This category has|This topic is empty|hidden|and was last updated|seconds|minutes|hours|days|day|weeks|week|months|month|years|year|by/gi, function (matched) { return d_obj[matched]; });
//add "aktualisiert" to end of sentence
if (d_text.indexOf("und wurde zuletzt") > -1) {
d_text = d_text.slice(0,-1).concat(" aktualisiert."); }
//update the innerHTML of either the forum or the topic page
if (forum) { forum.innerHTML = d_text; }
if (description) { description.innerHTML = d_text; }
}();
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
yes, but as far as I can see the activation of their account is not part of bbpress.
perhaps we can proceed further by three things.
1. give me the url of the registration on your site
2. tell me how you ‘changed the url for my administration login to hide from hackers’
3. list the plugins yo are using on your site
This page is from bbpress. “your account is activatde” page appears after a new user completes the activation of his or her account.
bbbpress style pack is also not correcting the direction of login failures.
bbpress doesn’t have a ‘your account is activated’ page – something in WordPress is doing this, not bbpress.
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
you’ll see
<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
change this to
<?php if ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php elseif ( ! bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
and save
then 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, and the topic form will now appear before the forums
Hello,
I have installed bbpress on my WordPress website. I have created 4 categories in the main forum, but when I click on the categories, topics do not show on the category. Each category has more than 4 threads.
I saved permalinks too, but it did not work.
Hi all,
I’ve seen this issue in the forum but I haven’t found a solution that works yet.
I have exported and imported my forum, topics, replies, and users using the WP import / export functionality. Everything appears in the admin but only the forums appear on the site…not the topics and replies.
If I manually update a topic in the admin, it appears on the site.
All of the replies say “mismatch” under the Forum column…even the ones that have a Forum listed in the same column.
I have tried switching to the TwentyTwenty theme but this didn’t fix it. I also tried the repairs in the forum tools but that didn’t work either. And also tried the permalink refresh that someone suggested. No luck.
WP version 5.4.2
bbPress version 2.6.5

bbpress uses the url for the admin (me) for members to login after they activate their accounts. The page says “Your account is activated”. The page has a link that says LOG IN, and that link is to the admin’s url.
It also goes to the admin’s url if the person types the incorrect username or password.
All users are set to be participants under forum’s roles.
there is no separate bbpress login. If you login using WordPress on first login bbpress will allocate the role that you have set in
dashboard>settings>forums>roles.
so bbpress does not use a url for login.
so when you say ‘ However, bbpress is using this url for members to login. ‘ where are you seeing this ?
I am sorry. May you please explain what you just said? I am lost. I am not an expert in coding. I don’t seen an option or label for bbpress login.
Viewing a single topic
if (bbp_is_single_topic()) {...
and or
Check if current page is a bbPress topic
bbp_is_topic()
and also
Check if we are viewing a topic archive.
bbp_is_topic_archive()
and
Check if current page is a topic edit page
bbp_is_topic_edit()
I want to know how can I check if I am on a Bbpress topic page?
bbpress just uses WordPress login, so if you’ve changed the url, just use any WordPress login and ignore the bbpress one.
