Hi Robin,

for example on this page:

https://bbpress.org/forums/

to remove / hide 981 982 983 pages

the css class seems to be the same, so not sure how to hide it

what do you mean by

Hi, i would like to use WordPress native posts as topics with bbpress.

[proversion88]

I want to separate wordpress and bbpress..wordpress is on my main domain and I want to setup bbpress on a subdomain like forum.mydomain.com

I tried with adding bbpress, but it really mess up everything on the membership side as it is already setup with custom themes and plugins and lot of modifications through code. I also need to use separate theme for forum as the default is not integrated well with my current theme..For these reasons, I want to install wp and bbpress on a subdomain as separate installation and keep it private and closed for registrations..

I checked the link you posted, and it was talking about using same database for both wp installations..But in that case, their worpdress installation is identical..Mine has too nuch complicated structure in one and the forum installation will just need bbpress only..

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress users, so if your members are WordPress users, they will be bbpress users as well.

you main issue will be sharing users between two domains.

Why do you want bbpress in a sub domain ?

[proversion88]

I have a membership site with s2 member plugin and I want to install bbpress on a sub domain..the forum is not public and only my members need to access it. Is there an easy way to bridge login between bbpress and wordpress? All my members should be able to login to forum without registering again..

Is it possible to allow spacing in the BBpress Forum description? Right now, even when you created different paragraphs for the description, the spacing will disappear and the paragraph will be squished together in the shown forum description.

Is there a way to get different paragraphs to seperated when thr forum description is shown?

Is there a code snippet that I can add? I don’t know how to code but I would love this to work.

If you want picture examples, I will be more than happy to provide!

[Robin W]

it is theme related

and yes you have a theme item of

<div class="dummy" style="padding-top: 100%;"></div>

and this sits below the header and creates this space.

which method in item 3 of this link are you using ?

I just installed bbPress through the plugin panel and added some test forums. It seems like there is a very large empty DIV that I don’t know how to get rid of causing a large space between the forum header and the forums. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

It’s only showing up on the main forums home page and not any other pages when you navigate into the forums or posts.

Currently using the Uncode theme. WP, plugins, themes, etc are all up to date.

Forums are at: http://foxtrotbattleline.com/forums

This article explains it quite well and the save hooks

add_action ( 'bbp_new_topic', 'bbp_save_extra_fields', 10, 1 );
add_action ( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'bbp_save_extra_fields', 10, 1 );

are still there

This is a bit like saying I want my Ford to be like a Chevrolet. Without specifying what is needed in your view to make bbpress the equivalent it is hard for anyone to help you by suggesting suitable additional bbpress plugins to achieve your goals.

Hi, i would like to use WordPress native posts as topics with bbpress.

and I would like to install bbpress in a subfolder. but if I do that bbpress creates unnecessary slugs

I do not want bbpress to create an extra slug for example domain.com/folder/topic/orignal-post

I want below slugs ? is it possible?
domain.com/folder/
domain.com/this-this-a-post/

[Robin W]

ok, now in – nice site by the way !

Not sure why changing in bbpress had no effect – I can’t see your theme is doing anything.

my first suggestion would be to install

bbp style pack

and once installed go into

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forums index styling

and set some of those to a larger font – just start with 1 or 2 and see if they work.

If so you can work though the rest to get what you want.

If not come back, BUT leave a couple in place and tell me a couple you have changed.

I can then look at what is being downloaded to my browser and maybe help further

Should be all set now. Sorry.

bbPress requires at least one Keymaster, and only keymasters can set other keymasters. However bbPress does allow you to change the last keymaster to another role without warning – leaving no keymasters, and no ability to set a keymaster.

I’ve added some code in the bug fixes tab of my style pack plugin that detects if this has happened, and allows creation of a new keymaster.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

and you’ll see a tick box at the end.

Once you have ticked and saved, you can deactivate and delete this plugin, but I hope you’ll find a bunch of useful things in there and keep it going 🙂

We are developing a website using Elementor Pro and have installed BBpress. I can easily create the forum main page which fits perfectly into my site template, but once you click on a topic, the display goes full screen. How can one edit the actual topic/post pages in BBpress with Elementor?

[cassel]

I have been using this plugin successfully for years now to allow my members to post images in the forum without having to host them somewhere else. However, although it still works perfectly with my current WordPress version (5.4.2), it has not been updated in 2 years.

Can someone “update” or check it (it is open source) or suggest another one if/when this one no longer works?

Hi,

I am using the Enfold theme which seems to disable the bbpress default breadcrumbs. I re-enabled them for better user navigation with the following code in child theme functions.php

//show bbpress forum breadcrumbs
add_action('after_setup_theme', function() {
	 remove_filter('bbp_get_breadcrumb','avia_fetch_bb_trail',10,3);
}, 9999);

Breadcumbs are displayed as seen for example here: https://hatopia.de/community-forum/thema/ich-erstelle-auch-ein-thema-weil-ich-was-zu-sagen-habe/.

I want to change the default breadcumbs a bit in order to have better UX.
First, I want to change the text of ‘Startseite’ to ‘Home’. Second, I want to change the name of ‘Foren’ to ‘Community’ and change the link of ‘Foren’ to another link (‘…/community’).

Can this be achieved and if so how?

Thank you for the support and best regards, Peter

Hi,

I am helping out a friend with a website for speech therapists https://pdcen.org

Using bbpress v. 2.6.5

We have lost the key master role and hence cannot administrate forums, topics etc.

I have scoured this forum for fixes, re-installed the plugin, checked plugin conflicts and tried re-assigning roles via the database but I can’t figure out how to fix.

I am an experienced wp developer but have never seen this before. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I don’t know if the right place where to ask this is on the bbpress support or in the to Better Notifications for WP support. I looked for this problem but couldn’t find anything.
I’m using Better Notifications for WP to send notifications to new users of my bbpress forum and to alert administrator for new comments. This notifications are working perfectly.
I’m trying as well to create a new notification that would be sent to all users upon creation of a new topic in the forum.

This is not working no matter what I try.
The forums are private, I tried as well to set it up for private topics and not but still is not working.

The wordpress version is: 5.4.2
The bbpress version is: 2.6.5
The Better Notifications for WP version is: 1.8.3

Thank you

[Mike8857]

bbPress Version 2.6.5 <

WordPress 5.4.2

Among other instructions I used bbPress Styling Crib (https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/). I copied bbpress.css into the wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/css/ folder as directed in the Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2 (https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-2/).

The bottom line is that I changed every “font-size:” tag in bbpress.css (and there are 40) trying to have SOME effect. Nothing.

The tiny text makes the forum unusable. Changing the font size, from much of what I’ve read, is simple.

What am I doing wrong???

Thanks in advance

CSS styling for the select field is most likely limited by the theme in length (bbPress default styling does it also), so you need to change the width for that element to 100%.

Hi guys!
I use bbPress and it’s great plugin!
I have built one website-forum using bbPress. I haven’t any post in it and all my website has Topics and replies. I don’t need forums and topic prefix in url.
I remove forums from settings but can’t remove /topic from url. I searched google but I can’t find any solutions.
Example I want to replace https://website.com/topic/topic-name/ to https://website.com/topic-name/

I found in settings that can replace the /topic to other words but can’t remove it at all.

Please help guys…
