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.

[Mushlih Almubarak]

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?

[Tobias Claren]

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.

[Mike Witt]

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.

[cassel]

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?

[chaosfranklin]

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.

[Robin W]

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

[Robin W]

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

[lonelydime]

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; }
}();
