I am using the default bbpress templates

[Robin W]

ok, I don’t think it is a css problem.

cab you tell me which method you are using in no. 8 in here

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

[Robin W]

thanks for that and for the really helpful video.

I can see that on forum pages, your site is not displaying the elementor menu, which is what is missing – so it is not that it is transparent, it is because it is not there !!

I suspect it is a conflict between your theme/ementor and bbpress templates.

how technical are you ?

[Robin W]

given that you don’t understand code, then the best I can offer is to remove the bbpress login from the topic and reply forms.

This can be done by installing

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form and activate item 15

[Robin W]

sorry, bbpress uses the standard wordpress login api, so it is code if you want to do something different

[Oleksandr]

I use the next code in functions.php

add_filter('bbp_get_topic_post_type_supports', 'register_bbpress_topic_type_supports');
function register_bbpress_topic_type_supports( $args ) {
	$args[] = 'excerpt';
	$args[] = 'thumbnail';
	$args[] = 'custom-fields';
	return $args ;
}

Can you explain it in detail? please! We use WordPress only in blogs. Is there any kind of issue with that? Can we use bbpress on this? The topics we choose for the forum is the same as blog categories. Here is the blog of my website:

[Robin W]

ok I suspect you are talking about wordpress post custom fields.

if so, bbpress has never natively supported these, so I suspect you have code or an additional plugin such as acf or a bbpress plugin that is doing this.

[Oleksandr]

I used custom fields with bbpress topics and reply.

[Robin W]

the simplest way would be to just take out the bbpress login

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-login.php

transfer this to your pc and edit to just delete all the content (or you could put a link to your page)

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/form-user-login.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[Oleksandr]

I mean the standard custom fields.
CF works with bbpress 2.5.14

Custom Field doesn’t work with bbpress 2.6 and above
I use custom fields for bbpress topics.
I tried to turn off all plugins and change the theme to default but always receive next javascript error in the console:

This is the login URL for my user:

Login

I want to direct from the create topic and also reply, and all the links (which is in the bbpress plugin) that redirect the login to my WordPress deafult

[kanejason]

Hello There,

I have just installed bbpress on my WordPress blog website I have created 7 categories in the main forum, but when I click on the categories, topics do not show on the category. I have created a demo forum on local, whenever I open the link a blank page shows up. I saved permalinks too, but it did not work.

[bobwhallz]

Hi
I have a transparent header built with Astra theme and Elementor page builder. I am also using BuddyPress on my site.

I would like to change all the bbpress forum pages header to a different background color, none white, so the header menu can display properly.

What css codes should i use?
Bbpre Version 2.6.5 on latest WordPress installation
Thank you

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress login.

When a user first logs on without a bbpress role (eg keymaster, moderator, participant spectator or blocked) bbpress looks at

dashboard>settings>forums>roles and if set gives the user that role – yours is almost certainly set to ‘participant’ – so you can switch off or amend that settings as you wish.

participants have then ability to create topics and replies.

Hi
I have a login page for my users (generated by one of my plugins). however, when I download bbpress, it directs users to login on WordPress deafult log in page, how can I change the login page for my users to the login page generated by one of the other plugins?
Thank you

It’s been about 10 years since I’ve attempted anything WordPress or PHP for that matter, but while this works it feels like it’s going to break in an update.

add_filter( 'bbp_default_styles', 'rew_dequeue_bbpress_css' );

function rew_dequeue_bbpress_css ($defaults ){
	fixed_bbp_enqueue_style("bbp-default", "css/bbpress.css", array(), bbp_get_version());
	unset ($defaults['bbp-default']) ;
	return $defaults ;
}

function fixed_bbp_enqueue_style( $handle = '', $file = '', $deps = array(), $ver = false, $media = 'all' ) {
        // Attempt to locate an enqueueable
        $located = bbp_locate_enqueueable( $file );
	$located = str_replace('/bitnami/wordpress', '', $located);
		
        // Enqueue if located
        if ( ! empty( $located ) ) {

                // Make sure there is always a version
                if ( empty( $ver ) ) {
                        $ver = bbp_get_version();
                }

                // Make path to file relative to site URL
                $located = bbp_urlize_enqueueable( $located );

                // Register the style
                wp_register_style( $handle, $located, $deps, $ver, $media );

                // Enqueue the style
                wp_enqueue_style( $handle );
        }

        return $located;
}

From what I can tell your snippet does, it just clears out the default css object so the loop to bbp_enqueue_style skips including it and then I can inject my own function. The scripts function seem more complicated because there are many more includes than one file and they’re based on pages from what I can tell. Is what I’ve done what you were referring to?

Hello.

Is it possible to change the appearance of BBPress more towards forum systems like SMF, MyBB, phpBB etc.?
The appearance of BBPress is very unergonomic compared to these forum scripts.
Narrow column in the middle, forum preview in the root without separation in lines, font too small etc. etc. etc.

I would like to use BBPress because it would be integrated in WP.

[Tobias Claren]

This is a fresh installation with standard 2020 theme.

The representation of the forums in the forum root is also bad.
But that seems to be a lack of BBPress.
All forums are shown without a line break.
There is only a separation in the category.
I would like to have a visual separation of the forums already in the root.

[Robin W]

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

[Tobias Claren]

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.

[Tobias Claren]

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?

[Mike Witt]

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.
