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…

Hello,

I am using BBpress to create course forums as part of a learning management system build with the WPLMS theme. I could set up a forum easily and post in it, but now I am facing an issue: users cannot edit, delete or close a topic. Find a screenshot here. None of the links in the highlighted area does work.

I have enabled “Allow users to edit their content for … minutes” and set it to 10000″ (roughly 7 days). I have full admin rights and still cannot edit my own post.

Thanks for your support!

Hi there,

there have been two posts that kind of go into this topic, but the solutions offered there didn’t help (yet). Maybe I did something wrong, idk.

I’ll back up a little. Here are the steps and error(s):

1. Click on registration
2. Type in the username to be used
3. Type in the e-mail address
4. Hit submit
5. Loading until ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Funny thing is that even if I didn’t fill in the required fields, the registration runs into the error.

What I tried so far:
– De- and re-activating plugins
– looked in the error.log and Plesk Protocols
– Updated the permalink structure
– … maybe more

but nothing’s to be found, nothing’s changed. Latest versions of WordPress, Avada (Theme) and bbpress are installed. There also are no SSL or htaccess problems that I know of.

Hopefully there’s someone who knows a solution to this issue.

Thanks and best regards
Tim

Looking for a little help with configuring my forum in my course. I have LearnDash (LD), Uncanny Owl Toolkit Pro, bbPress for LD. My courses are a 6 week course format with each week’s material is at the Lesson level.

I have 5 forums created for the existing course I am working with. Do I need to create a single parent forum with the associated forum under it or can I just have the forums ordered 1-5? What is the most effective setup of the forums and what should the attributes be set to?

Each unit forum should be the last step before the unit quiz which completes the work for the week and I created an LD topic with the forum link in it. When I follow the link I get a redirect error How do I associate/configure the forum with the class so students progress from the unit work directly into that week’s forum?

Thanks in advance!!

[Robin W]

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

transfer this to your pc and edit as needed

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-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Chuckie, Thanks again for all of your help I appreciate it…I used what you sent and it worked but I had to add in two more lines for the “even” also

#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd, #bbpress-forums div.even, #bbpress-forums ul.even {
background-color: #fbfbfb;
}

[georgemichel]

hi chuckie

yes i tried that before what happens is that all the topics in bbpress related to the user become (user: anonymous) and can not be deleted by deleting the user it stills there you need to delete them one by one

What i’m looking for is f i blocked a user .. i can delete his topics also

thanks

[Chuckie]

#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd {
    background-color: #fbfbfb;
}

The above is the CSS that you have at the moment to colour the borders.

[kenaustin3rd]

That took care of the headers but the body is still white. Not even sure how to line those out to you…

div.loop-item-0.user-id-2.bbp-parent-forum-120.bbp-parent-to-pic-122.bbp-reply-position…….

it is basically the body around the reply block…I have already tried:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-body {
}

[Chuckie]

During my upgrade to my site (using a new theme) I decided to use site wide breadcrumbs. I do this with Breadcrumbs NavXT. It supports bbPress.

All is good. But, when I disabled the bbp style pack breadcrumbs I start to get the Private: prefix again in some instances on the breadcrumbs trail.

Can I remove that with a hook or something?

Thanks.

Hi,

My theme does have a folder for BBpress, but this has not changed for over 4 years and now this issue has come up.

[Chuckie]

Perhaps all you need to use is:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header {
}

Please help! (not that I’m desperate or anything :))

I’m new to WordPress and ppPress so my CSS knowledge is thin, so I may need a little point in even how to get to some things.

I’ve just made a child theme of it this evening ready for tinkering about though, which I’m guessing would be the first stage 🙂

Any help very much appreciated.

Thanks

You are not really making sense now. #fff is colour white and you said you don’t want colour white.

If you right-click a comment in the browser and choose “Inspect Element” you can see what type of object it is and what class it is using. All bbPress comments are:

#bbpress-forums blockquote { 
}

You put your styling inside there for comments. Virtually anything can be worked out by just inspecting elements and learning to understand what the screen is telling you in the browser about the element.

[Chuckie]

Can can add your own additional CSS to manage how comments are displayed.

#bbpress-forums blockquote { 
    color: #000;
}

You can put whatever styling you like in there. This styling us usually in the customizer area of your website. Although the bbp style pack also has a Custom CSS tab.

And the bbp style pack allows you to set some other colour properties too on the various tabs.

[Robin W]

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
