IMO small icons among text looks very bad. IMO it would be better, if icons are on left like in XenForo forus.

See
https://www.sanaristikkofoorumi.net/wordpress/2019-11-16-13-40-47-www-sanaristikkofoorumi-net-58b4f9888eb8/

On the right side is a sidebar, where small icon is on the left like here in the freshness list ( I just don’t like that the position is not always the same.

It would be nice, if bbPress fourums could look as default more professional.

I think this is custom built widget for the forums. My plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro adds similar widget: https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/.

Hello

I try to change the font-family in the frontend visual editor of bbpress.

I’m able to style the buttons and the frame around the editor. But since the content is in a iframe, I’m not able to style it with normal css. How to style the content of this inframe? Where can I style #tinymce.

The backend editor styling is working with editor-style.css.

In tried the following: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/styling-the-visual-editor/ Not working.

Any idea?

Hello,

I’m interested, which widget are you using on this web-site on the page – https://bbpress.org/forums/? Title – Forums and only 2 columns – Forum and Posts.

Widjet in left top corner. Only list of Forums and quantity of posts.

Thank you.

Trying to figure out what has happened.
I know I have updated a handful of other plugins after upgrading to 2.6.1 so I deactivated all the plugins that I had upgraded and nothing changed.

What I find strange is that the section called “Showroom” does show the topics inside on the forum index but not the Lobby or the Let’s talk section, so it would not be something affecting all the forums/topics like a plugin conflict.

I have BuddyPress and bbpress style pack active, but even if I deactivate them, those topics still don’t show on the index page.

What else should I look into as POSSIBLE culprit?

[Chris Taylor]

I don’t believe it’s another plugin changing this, as it was working before the bbPress update.

The “site_name” thing was me obfuscating my database name, sorry if it confused matters. Thanks.

I’m currently having this issue on one of my forum. I’m an administrator. I can’t type a reply in Visual, but I can type in the Text tab. Running bbPress 2.6.1 and WordPress 5.2.4 (bbPress updated automatically but the sysadmin has to get involved to update WP)

[Chris Taylor]

I upgraded to 2.6.1 and my topic replies are not being displayed. Debug toolbar shows that there are two database errors being thrown, both like this:

SELECT COUNT(wp_posts.ID)
FROM wp_posts FORCE INDEX (PRIMARY, post_parent)
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta ON wp_postmeta.post_id = wp_posts.ID AND wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_reply_to'
WHERE 1=1 AND (wp_posts.ID = 76 OR wp_posts.post_parent = 76)
AND wp_posts.post_type IN ('topic', 'reply')
AND wp_postmeta.meta_key IS NULL
AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish')
ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date ASC

Table 'site_name.wp_posts' doesn't exist

The list of forums and topics works fine.

Like many WordPress installations I have a custom prefix for my database tables (“wp_****_”) and it appears that bbPress 2.6.1 is using that for some queries and not others.

[Danishsard]

Hardly any other forums have anything like that in their structures, only bbpress has something like this exposed

[Danishsard]

Hello, maybe it would be worth to add voices to the settings panel in the bbpress options. Most people do not want to use it, why impose it. At home I turned it off by cutting out in the code of the page https://infomiasto.eu/forum/tematy/rozmowy/ but it is a solution that you need to repeat when updating, and maybe it would be such a setting

[scabbrox]

I think I may have found it….

It’s in the bbpress.php file (of the pre-update version). Is this it?

Users and an Admin are not able to post replies to posts in the forums. Is anyone else experiencing that issue?

WordPress 5.3 running Boss. Child Theme theme.
bbPress 2.6.1
https://members.lockeinyoursuccess.com/

[scabbrox]

Hi there and thanks for the reply.

The trouble is I’m not entirely sure how we did it as it was a while ago and the person that did it is no longer with us.

I’m not seeing anything in functions.php which is where I understand that code is normally put for this so I’m assuming it’s in the capabilities.php file that the update is overriding as this does refer to treating wp_roles as bbpress roles.

I can send a copy of the capabilities file (not seeing an upload button) or perhaps you can give me an idea where else to look?

Sorry to be so vague, but it works fine with the previous version of bbpress so I’m guessing it’s something that gets overwritten when I update.

The roles were created by clicking duplicate on a bbpress role and then changing the name, but if I try that now it just created a wp-role and not a forum role.

[raydelvec]

Yes, I can also confirm that renaming to bbpress.min.css brings back the styles.

[LucasHilty]

First, thanks very much to the team for your work on bbPress. Our educational community has benefited.

We use a combination of SearchWP and FacetWP to power search on our site. This is set up to pull in forums, topics, and replies, along with other post types. With the update to 2.6, the forum content disappeared from search results. I have rolled back to 2.5.14 and search results are working again.

I’m wondering if you have any suggestions for what change in 2.6 might have altered this behavior.

Thanks!

[Robin W]

the bit you have altered is in my style pack plugin :

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>topic/reply display>item 20.

However as bbpress now wraps this part in a <ul> you can’t use a <table> in that part.

However the new template gives you the login part below it which the old did not, so it gets you most of the way there.

Alternatively you could amend the template which is

templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php if you know how to FTP files

[thierrytregaro]

As every post with picture/link or quote is now waiting for approval, this new moderation thing is just a nightmare.

So far, using GD Toolbox Report function to let users report posts in need of moderation (and a very secure anti-spam^^). And this was perfect for my needs.

Now, forum is almost unusable with dozens posts per hour to approve only because some member quoted another. Or added a picture. Discussions are a nightmare to follow with posts validated too late, with many other answers in between. And, of course, users posting many times in a row because their posts wasn’t added to discussion.

My community is too active to ask for moderators to validate posts. This is a non-sens for my usage : posts are legit until proven not.

So : is there any way to remove this moderation option ?
Or i’ll have to remove bbpress. After many years of service and so much time to improve my forums, time may have come to make that switch to Discourse… And, yes, it may be a conflict with Toolbox tools. But there’s no way I use bbpress without GD addon.

[willysbd]

Hi John!
Thanks for the quick response!
I modified your code to:

/* wp customer -> bbp block */
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_role_map', function( $roles = array() ) {
    $roles['customer'] = 'bbp_blocked';
    return $roles;
} );

/* wp suscriber -> bbp participant */
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_role_map', function( $roles = array() ) {
    $roles['subscriber'] = 'bbp_participant';
    return $roles;
} );

But doesn’t works fine… when I change a Wp user role they lost any user role at bbpress.. (I put the code in functions in my child theme, is correct?)

Thanks again!

[pipipi07]

To @casiepa
Before 5.3, we used 5.2.4 WordPress.
bbpress is 2.5.14 is the last version.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 2.5.10 did fix a bug that was causing maximum title lengths to not be enforced, and this was part of 2.6 as well. It does use '8bit' encoding, but perhaps 'UTF-8' would be better. I think @casiepa is doing some digging to figure this out exactly.

[willysbd]

Hello!
Is it possible to link WordPress user role with bbpress user role?
For example, I have users on WordPress who are “subscribers”, but if they stop paying they automatically go to “customers”.
I would like to automatically convert a “customer” in WordPress to “locked” in bbpress.
This is possible? how?
Thanks!!!

[creativersis]

We used the plugin “Moderation tools”. I deactivated that now (I just saw that it was updated a long time ago)…

Us there any possibility of holding topics for moderation without a plugin? Some bbpress native function?

[John James Jacoby]

Before these recent plugin updates, it showed the subforums in a vertical list

This will require some CSS for you to get back. The markup used for separating subforums went back and forth for a little while, and we ultimately settled on something simpler.

/* Remove comma */
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list .bbp-forum.css-sep:not(:last-child)::after {
    content: '';
}

/* Make vertical */
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list .bbp-forum {
    display: block;
}

it only displays for 1 of them

I see now what you mean. It’s fixed, but not completely. Thanks. Will look into this also!

[Gunilla]

Our bbpress forum needs login. Information about the inlogged members – their profiles – is visible for anybody who search in Google. However, the posts seem not to be searchable in Google. Is it possible to hid the profiles for being public?

[hyo1990]

Thanks for the response.

It’s on this section: https://ibb.co/QmrFwdr

Before these recent plugin updates, it showed the subforums in a vertical list (ban appeals/ ban requests / vouch requests, etc.) – and it was working for both forums (Defense of the Ancients and Legion Tower Defense)

Since the upgrade to 2.6.1 , it only displays for 1 of them as you can see, and even that one, is horizontally (not vertical anymore)

I’ve tried looking at the bbpress settings, but it doens’t seem like there’s anything i can do on my side to rearrange it (and it was working as mentioned before this recent update..)
