Hello,
My website uses Roboto as the main font but the topic/reply editor in bbPress seems to use Georgia…
Is there a way to change the font?
Thank you!
my firewall software doesn’t like your site
try
#bbpress-forums blockquote {
color: blue !important;
}
Users at our site have all said that they are happy to receive email notifications.
Is there a way to set all users to ‘Subscribe’ to a Forum at bbPress?
Thank you.
bbpress just uses WordPress login, so you just need a plugin or code that does that for WordPress
there are several and I have not tried any, but

or if you are into coding

Hello,
I have a woocommerce marketplace site at xyz.domain.com and have created a bbpress site at abc.domain.com. There are various user roles on the woocommerce site (eg. Customers and Vendors). I am trying to create a Vendor forum site using bbpress at abc.domain.com such that when a Vendor account has been created and approved, they will also be able to access the bbpress site at the other subdomain address.
Can anyone let me know how this can be done?
Hello, if someone can help me figure out how to change the bbpress blockquote text color I would appreciate it. Currently it is yellow (see attachment)…
Hi, I’m having a problem with threaded replies. When I try to reply a post, instead of the new post being nested, it creates a new post at the same level of the previous.
I have tried two bbPress installs, with different themes, and they both show the same problem.
I have also tried installing bbp Style Pack and checking “bbPress Bug Fixes/Fix Threaded Replies Jump” with no success.
You can try here and see the problem: rescola.com.br/bbpresstest02/index.php/forums/topic/hi-this-is-a-forum
Hi,
I’m using Buddypress together with BBpress. I’ve an issue and I’m hoping someone can help me with it.
When I (or someone else) create a new Buddypress-group on my website, I always choose to make a new group-forum. These forums have no ‘sub/child-forums’ by default. If you want there to be ‘sub/child-forums’ you should make them all by hand. I’ve around 60 groups (and counting), so you understand it’s a LOT of work if you want all the group-forums to have the same (same names, different private forums) sub-forums. Plus, I want my moderators to have the possibility to create groups (with a standard forum) and I can’t be there all the time to immidiatly make the sub-forums (including the right subtext and forum-image).
So, is there an option to make some ‘default sub forums’ (with image and subtext) that ALWAYS automatically ‘ll be created when you make a new group with forum? So for example: the default forums are ‘pregnancy’, ‘birthdays’ and ‘animals’. I make a new group called ‘Group 1’ and I choose ‘Yes, I want to create a forum for this group’. Then I open the brand new group-forum, and hooray! It has 3 brandnew subforums: ‘pregnancy’, ‘birthdays’ and ‘animals’. Only viewable for the group-members.
After that, I create a second group, called ‘Group 2’ and I choose ‘Yes, I want to create a forum for this group’. Then I open the brand new group-forum, and hooray again! It had 3 brandnew subforums (so, not the same forums you see in the group 1 forum), only viewable for group 2-members.
Can someone help me with this? 🙂
this is one of the good and bad things about WordPress plugins.
It is good that they warn you that plugins have not been updated for a long period.
It is bad that it puts people off using perfectly good plugins because the author has had the goodness to release for free useful code to the world, but does not have the time or wish to be involved in supporting it.
But a well written plugin rarely needs changing if it does all that is required.
And since moderation tools hooks to bbpress functions that are long standing and stable, there are no issues I know with this plugin and I suspect it will work for years to come. If it breaks though minor issues, I’d clone it and re-issue.
You can sort of consider the warning a bit like a warranty. You don’t stop using the dishwasher because the year long warranty has run out, you just accept that maybe one day in the future it will stop working. When it does, then you may need to stop using it, but you do not go back to hand washing your dishes just because the warranty has run out on the dishwasher 🙂
If moderation tools stops working, you are no worse off than now. so if you use it for a while and it makes life easier, then that is a bonus.
I do get a few spams but not many. And typically, one member will email me if I didn`t see it, but since I get a notification of all the posts and all the new topics, I usually catch them. My main issue is mostly for those legit posts that end up in the spam. I get the notification they were posted, but not that they were flagged as spam, so I have no way to know to go check in the backend to “un-spam” them.
2. I also use https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/ that way the topic or reply does not ‘disappear’ the author sees it as pending, and you get an email so you know to take action.
This plugin might no longer be supported, it seems.
I use bbpress no spam notify plugin where you control the content of each email that is sent out …
Hi,
I just install bbpress and I am new to managing forums. I’ve searched this forum and did not seem to find the answer to my question.
How to hide or remove the “Create New Topic” section at the bottom of my forum. I do not want my participants to be able to add new topics. Only want them to comment on the ones provided. Is there an extra plugin that would give me this ability?
thanks
Jason
it is REALLY hard to get a computer to distinguish between real stuff and spam.
This support site uses askimet, but 3-5 spam posts get through each day. many just copy content and add their own url.
my strategy is
1. spam will get through, so unless your bbpress is massively used I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ to notify me of each post and reply. I can quickly look at it, and if needed delete.
2. I also use https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/ that way the topic or reply does not ‘disappear’ the author sees it as pending, and you get an email so you know to take action.
GD Attachment will show as a thumbnail. But, if you have lightbox activated on your site then you can click the image and it shows it enlarged. Works very nice.
Just a little annoying to HAVE to click for every image one wants to see. On my site, it is all about scrapbooking, so every image has to be seen.
As for TinyMCE you have to make sure you are not using the cut down toolbar which will strip the extra buttons from the display.
Not sure what you mean by the “cut down toolbar”.
bbPress multi-image uploader does something similar but instead of small thumbnails, it is just a smaller version of the image so you can often view it as is. Anyone able to update that plugin (or check if it does even need an update)?
See an example: https://scrapbookcampus.com/Community/topic/bootcamp-july-2020/page/4/
Not sure what changed, but I tried to re-enable the Tiny MCE Advanced, and I can no longer upload images: the upload button is no longer there.
I tried the GD Attachment and it does show only a rectangular thumbnail (horizontal, even if the image is vertical).
bbPress multi-image uploader still work for me and the Inline Image Upload for BBPress works well too.
bbpress just uses WordPress registration and login.
bbpress then just assigns the default role on first login that is set in Dashboard>settings>forum>roles if you have that ticked, or you can manually assign if you wish.
Therefore you can ignore anything bbpressy on registration and login, and just use anything that WordPress does instead.
This gives you the ability to utilise plugins such as ‘theme my login’ to give yourself a nice registration and login (there are plenty of other good login plugins, just search around).
It looks like you have already changed the default wp urls – which is great and good security practise, so suggest you just don’t use bbpress login shortcodes or widgets, and let wordpress do your registration and login.
Do come back if you need further help
Hi
I have just installed bbPress on my site. I craeted a test user to see how it works. I was horrified to see that the email included a url for registration that is the admin url I use. I have changed this from the default for reasons of security and do not realy want to be sending out my wp admin login url to everyone who registers on the site. Is there a way around this or is it a wordpress thing?
I have used this plugin for a long time now: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-multi-image-uploader/
Although it does not let one post images INSIDE the posts (they only display after the text), it is VERY useful. The problem now, is that the plugin has not been updated in 2 years. It still works, but I was also looking for an alternative.
I will look at Chuckie’s suggestion.
@kriskl – thanks I’ll make a note that wp rocket is bbpress friendly 🙂
dear all
i want to speedup up the bbpress
i used the cache plugin , but the new topice cant show it the page
hope someone can share something , how to speedup the bbpress
A user has created a topic but they have covered two different issues in the one topic. So ideally I would like to:
– Duplicate the topic
– Edit each topic to one question each
I don’t know how to do this with the current moderation tools in bbPress.
yes, find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
you’ll see
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
change that to take out the first 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
I see, pity, but thanks for your help 🙂
BY the way, How on this BBpress forums – it was possible to remove top pagination and leaving the one at the bottom?
css display none kills both 🙁
