Thanks for the suggestion, Robin, much appreciated.

I guess I’ll try it but TBH I’m trying to use the bare minimum of “extras” on my site since I’m so new at WordPress. Does the extremely small font used by bbPress not show up for others? Or is it just expected that one will either go into the CSS files or else one would use this plugin?

If the latter, are there other plugins that are sort of standard to use with bbPress?

[steve02476]

I have a brand new WordPress site v5.3 and just installed bbPress v2.6.2. I’m using the Twenty-twenty theme (one of the official WP themes). The site isn’t public yet so I don’t want to include a link.

bbPress seems to be functioning ok on my site but the font size is tiny, much smaller than the type on other parts of the WP site. I can’t see any way to adjust it.

Did some searching on the bbPress site and I guess the font size can be changed in CSS files but that’s a little too deep for me right now. Is there something else I can do? I’m willing to use a different WP theme if that would help.

If it absolutely must be adjusted in a CSS file can you help me finding the right file location?

Thanks so much!

When recently updating to 2.6.2 version of bbPress, I am getting 404s when new user arrives on homepage of forums. 404s are visible to user and showing in logs. When page is hard refreshed, forums show up.

But strange, if, if user goes to link within forums (topic, etc.), no 404s occur.

I am using bbp-forum-index shortcode on homepage of forums. I did a test and issue doesn’t occur when shortcodes aren’t used (no 404), but of course, no forums are available.

With shortcodes, even through 404s occur, the sidebar displays and shows the user’s logged-in info (avatar, etc).

Issue seems to only occur when user is logged in and visits forums. I have forums on their own WordPress installation within a directory of main site.

I thought it might have been cache, but issue still occurs when cache is disabled.

Here is link to site:

https://www.lifeleap.org/community/

Any suggestions on what might be occurring or what I do to troubleshoot issue? Thanks for any help

is there no emojis in bbpress?? there is a section for Plugins but none of those Plugins adhere to bbpress even when it says there specifically for bbpress??!!

[Danishsard]

I mean if where is the list of changes published bbpress codes to know what codes are where found in what line changed etc.

For example, the page template has visible changes https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/111632/anima/1.4.0?old&old_path=%2Fanima%2F1.3.0.2

Is somewhere the same thing about bbpress?

if you mean the files in /templates then you can amend these and put them in your child theme

You can copy all the templates across, but you only need to copy those that you want to change, and it is better just to do this, as then you know which you have altered.

so if you wanted to amend loop-single-forum you would do the following

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

Hello, where can you see what code and file changes are made in each bbpress update?

I have a forum on bbpress https://infomiasto.eu/forum/tematy/rozmowy/ but if the update is manual changes to the code will be lost – I want to see where the code changes during each update.

My page template has something such that I always see what code and where it changes on the wordpress page in bbpress, I don’t know where to look for such information if you wanted to manually paint it in the template. I am asking for help.

I added some CSS styling to make the error notices stand out on my site:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice.error {
	background: #fff !important;
	padding: 2px !important;
	border: solid 4px #000 !important;
	outline:#ff0 solid 4px !important;
	border-radius: 0px;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice.error li {
	color: #000 !important;
}

I am very happy with that. It is just this issue of bbPress jumping to the top of the topic rather than the actual error notice it has created in the reply forum.

Is there a workaround for that or must it be fixed by bbPress authors?

[Danishsard]

Hello, I would like my forum to be set up in css and some pages code by myself. https://infomiasto.eu/forum/tematy/rozmowy/ I have a question how to do it in the sense of the template folder bbpress does not contain everything, many things appear on the forum – the description frame is after the template layout

How to do it so that you don’t lose those data when updating – because I want to remove a lot of what the forum displays, columns of voices, description frame and this type.

[Danishsard]

Hello, I have a page https://infomiasto.eu/ where I have set various data in htaccess

As set by default: ExpiresDefault “access plus 10 days”

Does this apply to all things on the site, even those individual parts not listed?

I have the following

ExpiresByType font / opentype “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType application / javascript “access plus 1 months”
ExpiresByType text / html “access plus 10 minutes”

So will this apply to the default also for what is not mentioned, for example, text / javascript?

I have also tried adding ‘add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );’ to the main theme’s functions.php.

I have tried following the instructions here: https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/

Which recommended copying the bbPress plugin files to the root of my theme folder. This has also produced no results.

[brownbagmarketing]

Added this to my theme functions file:

// Adding function to block page content for any pages containing bbpress shortcodes.
add_filter(‘mepr-pre-run-rule-content’, ‘do_block_the_content’, 99, 3);

function do_block_the_content($block, $current_post, $uri) {
$block = 1;
return $block;
}
It seems to be doing what I want, but we’ll see.

Hi bbpress

I have using the bbpress plugin on our site for support forum . But i can not get any notification on the mail and also our customers did not get notification mail.

I have get the address not found error in the mail.

See the screenshot http://prntscr.com/q6pboe

Please help us solved the issue.

Thanks

[rhysedwards]

I have created a theme, and installed bbPress. I followed the getting started instructions in the documentation, and added the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to my forum page.

Under my theme, no forum appears, nothing at all. However if I activate a default theme the forum shows.

How do I add a forum to a wordpress theme that i created? I couldn’t seem to find anything on the internet to help with that part.

Many thanks

WordPress 5.2.4
bbPress Version 2.6.2

[neohack]

I’m having an issue with links instead of it being keebu.com/forums/dommains there is a double forum listing as seen below!! i’m new guys to bbpress I’m using the latest install of
wordpress 5.3
bbpress 2.6.2
buddyPress 5.0.0

[brownbagmarketing]

I have the exact same issue.
Any page that has a bbpress forum shortcode on it, the memberpress login does not appear on it and the forum does, even if the user is not logged in.

[yarnboy]

I ended up going about this another way. My client wanted all forum pages to be inaccessible to anyone without the ‘member’ role, so I used Buddypress-specific checks, instead of syncing bbPress roles with WP roles.

[tapiohuuhaa]

img.avatar {
display : none ;
}

You must define selector before img.avatar
For topic list:
body.single-forum #bbpress-forums img.avatar
body.bbp-view #bbpress-forums img.avatar

For forum list:
body.forum-archive #bbpress-forums img.avatar

I am trying to set up a way to manage the members listing on a client site. It appears that once a user has a bbPress role of “participant” they will always appear on the members list. I have tried removing them in a few different ways:

• Changing their bbPress role to “blocked”
• Removing their bbPress role entirely
• Removing their bbPress role and ALL of their WordPress roles

None of these items worked. The ONLY thing that worked was deleting their account from my client’s WordPress site entirely. This isn’t a great solution, for a number of obvious reasons. Does anyone have a solution for this?

[yarnboy]

I am working on a site that uses CiviCRM to manage its membership base and bbPress to run forums. Users who are in good standing (i.e. have paid their fees) have a WP role of ‘member’. They lose this role if their membership lapses. I am looking for a way to change their bbPress role to ‘blocked’ when this occurs, I don’t see a way to do this, other than writing a custom cron job. This seems like something lots of people would like to be able to do, so I’m wondering if there’s a way that I’m just not seeing.

No replies for 17 months 🙁

Some thoughts:

Also the notification emails contain a wrong link (highest page number instead of first)

Sends notification emails for new replies to subscribed topics
\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php

1061 function bbp_notify_topic_subscribers

1101 $reply_url = bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id );

if the order =’DESC’ for replies maybe then use bbp_get_topic_permalink as $reply_url ?

As mentioned above after adding a new reply to a topic one should also be redirected to the first page (bbp_get_topic_permalink ?)

Probably there are some more places where the same should apply.

I have done php. Actually wrote a website a few years ago that worked with a my-sql database. I also did a backend which was a Microsoft Visual C++ standalone executable that had access to the database for managing content. The site is not live any more.

My struggles are with debugging. It is not like Visual C++ when I can run through it step by step.

And there is the basic mechanics of how the whole thing works. No manuals with details information about bbPress mechanics.

So I already have a good knowledge but I am leading myself blind with it and I don’t like that …!

I can confirm that 1.5 was the last version of that product from what it seems and that no further development is done (technical talk: even the /trunk folder is missing so no updates could happen anymore). The plugin is now marked correctly: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/

[wilc097]

Unfortunately my custom css-file is still not working after the update to bbpress 2.6 (2.6.2). I’ve put the custom bbpress.css file in my child theme directory in a folder called ‘css’. Are any of the links changed w.r.t. previous wordpress versions?

[Chuckie]

I originally asked this issue here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-cant-view-their-profile/

I have now found out why it happens. It has to do with the Title Case of the user name. For example, if my user name is:

Test123

Then I will not be able to view my profile.

But if my user name is:

test123

I can view my profile.

I don’t know if this is a bbPress 2.6.2 bug or bbp style pack bug (since I am using the latter theme templates).

For some reason the administrator can view these profile pages despite the case issue. But not normal participants. I notice that the URL is always the lowercase slug. Are we somehow using the username rather than the nice name? Either way, this is the cause and it means many of my users can’t view their profiles as they have used Title Case in many instances.
