Hi,

Over the past few weeks I’ve been customizing bbress to my liking using the live css editor in wordpress.
I tried moving it all to a stylesheet within my child theme in a folder called css.
I’ve named the file bbpress.css.

Everything was working fine in the wordpress editor, but after moving it to bbpress.css a lot of things no longer work.
Even when I try !important, a lot of things still don’t to work.

I should note that some of the code does work which is why this confuses me.
Any suggestions?

WordPress 5.2.2
BBPress 2.5.14

Sorry for the confusion

the social links menu at the bottom of the home page http://www.preparesurvivelive.com you will see gray round icons for the social sites at the bottom of http://www.preparesurvivelive.com/forums/ you see the text label of the site and different icons.

I can’t recall making any changes to bbpress for this difference.

Okay so I started by adding a Super Sticky topic that included an embedded youtube video. When I saved it and tried to visit it, the topic wouldn’t load. I can’t remember the error message that I got but something like “the host is not responding.” The rest of my forums were fine. I could edit the particular topic that was giving me trouble, but there was no broken HTML or anything like that. I poked around a bit, then got busy, and I left it.

A few days later, I came back to my site, and noticed that the “Right Now In Forums” widget on the dashboard was displaying incorrectly. It told me that I had X Forums, Y, and Z Replies. So the word “Topics” was not displaying.

Then I tried to go to my admin Topics page and I couldn’t get there. When I clicked on the link in the sidebar, the page wouldn’t load. But I could get to Forums and Replies fine.

So then I tried the repair tools. I had no idea what was causing trouble, so I tried running them all. Eventually, I could load the Topic that was causing me trouble, but it just shows the header, not the content.

Then I noticed that the Forums, Topics, and Replies menu options in the admin sidebar are gone. They don’t exist. Which is odd, I thought. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, but they’re still not displaying. The “Right Now in Forums” dashboard widget is displaying, but when I click the link to, for example “Topics” (or “Replies”) I get the error “Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.” Then I checked and I now have the Participant role, but I’m the only admin, so I don’t know how to fix that.

The front-end seems to be displaying just fine, except for the one Topic that was causing me trouble before.

Help plz! Thx!

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/form-anonymous.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/form-anonymous.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

in that template you will see

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php _e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" size="40" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
		</p>

just remove that – I think that should work

[Danishsard]

Half solution

use the value = “Guest” in the file form-anonymous.php – from the template bbpress add to the field name and some to the field enalil type value = “guest@guest.com”

Well, how would you exclude obligatory these fields and at least exclude the obligatory email field. But I do not know how yet.

[StudentFilmmakers]

I don’t know why bbpress has micro small avatars??? Is it from a time when the internet was dial up? How can I make the Avatar images larger on all the forums posts and all places it shows up.

[Robin W]

I think this plugin has that

bbPress Toolkit

It works with current versions of wordpress and bbpress

[privatec2]

Hi,
I have setup a WordPress site with bbPress and trying to find if I can manually Subscribe/Unsubscribe users to particular Forums or Topics,
Or is it even possible to at least see what the Forum Participants/Users have subscribed to?
Thanks,

[Robin W]

@danishsard

some great people wrote bbpress software for free, spent many many hours writing code, getting feedback, improving and supporting it – all for free and they did this for many years.

In the background they do work on bbpress form time to time.

That they now are mainly doing other things is sad for us, but they have a perfect right to do as they wish, and should feel under no obligation to spend time supporting the code.

Similarly I have written a number of plugins that do stuff in bbpress, and I support these as I am able to and when I have free time. I also do some support on here. But this is all voluntary, and there will come a time when I no longer wish to do so.

There are a number of things that bbpress could do differently – what you call ‘should be repaired’ – but that is just your view on how it should work, and no-one is under any obligation to do anything – that is how OSF software works.

I can replicate your issue of a non existent page, and when I get some time I may (or may not) look at how to fix this.

But please be thankful that free code is out there and make the most of what it does, not resentful of what it does not do.

Hi there,

i have installed the plugin topics for posts,
but the system didnt created a topic for each of my posts (in particular listing items),
in order to create them i have to modify each of the listing item – otherwise it doesnt not activate that option.

As this is a very long procedure (i have around 900 listing items) does anyone knows how i can do this kind of work in less time…is there any bulk option?

One more thing, each listing items has a category (which i already created also in the forum).
Can i automatically assign that category respectively the forum topic for each item?

For example:

Item: “Ford – Focus” (category: “Ford) -> Create and assign this topic to the forum: “Ford”

I know it possibile to do it singolary, i need this kind of option in bulk.

thank you for your help.

Andreas

look also at the fact that when something is waiting to zakoppetowania no information about this information – the icon in the administration panel. Likewise, in the dashboard, I do not write hidden posts if there are any in automatic moderation. Many sayings do not work in bbpress

Only you still answer – the rest of the people went away and forgot about bbpress for years from what you see.

Hello,

I’m using Learndash and bbpress, my client wanst to have an intro forum where their users will have to make short video and upload in the thread. Is there a way to not host those videos on the site but elsewhere like vimeo or youtube automatically?

[Danishsard]

1. Set yourself in the discussion settings word that requires checking, for example: “www” then you would like to use the topic as a guest on bbpress with this word – you will be redirected to a non-existent page

2. It does not work, for example, in the settings of the discussion so as not to require an email and signature from users – in the forum and so it is required despite not marking it in the discussion options.

Also, moderation does not work if you have 1 link or more to the forum just d comments

[Robin W]

Error – when wordpress can be used for the wordpress discussion. Someone will send a new topic with these words – it is automatically redirected to a non-existent page – this is a forum bug.

can you describe an exact series of stepsto get this error – I do not understand

The entire wordpress discussion settings should also work bbpress – and not just selected elements – that would increase the functionality of the forum at zero cost.

zero cost ?? – just a massive recode of bbpress taking many many hours!!! What bit is missing ?

[Danishsard]

Hello, the bbpress plugin is not updated anymore

Error – when wordpress can be used for the wordpress discussion. Someone will send a new topic with these words – it is automatically redirected to a non-existent page – this is a forum bug.

The entire wordpress discussion settings should also work bbpress – and not just selected elements – that would increase the functionality of the forum at zero cost.

When someone writes a new post or subject with moderation after the settings in the wordpress discussion – it should be displayed to him the same as comments but invisible lda others because it is in the browser cache.

………

If you do not do anything with bbpress then you can do a premium help department to make money on it, probably it is the reason that there are no pforits for years abandoning it yourself. You can also enter the ads on bbpres.org, something that would be there too, it is sad that this project is practically forgotten by the creators and not revised.

Hi @robin-w!

First, thanks for the reply.

I’ve tried that plugin before. And I’ve already tried this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

But both do not have the configuration I need.

Regards!

[Robin W]

best I can suggest is

bbPress – Moderation Tools

[stagemedifirst]

Hello, I’m creating a forum as most of you.
I face a difficulty in navigate in the forum, the first page with the forum index,
[bbp-forum-index] is well integrate in a divi page but when I click on a forum I directly lost all the presentation of web pages.
That means that I no longer control the presentation behind the forum and that is a design problem.
If anyone has a clue feel free to share it please, I’ll be granted !

[Igor]

Hi guys,

First of all, thank you for the great work with bbPress.

So… Somebody can help me, please?

I want to know if there’s a way to apply the WordPress Comments Administration rules ( https://wordpress.org/support/article/comments-in-wordpress/#comment-administration) to the Guest Posting (not anonymous) rules of the bbPress (with name and e-mail fields).

In the WordPress Comments System there’s this option that i want:

“Comment author must have a previously approved comment: This option will allow you to cut down on the number of comments you have to approve. Once you approve one comment by an author, their future comments will be automatically approved.”

Link: https://wordpress.org/support/article/comments-in-wordpress/#comment-administration

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
When we set up words in the wordpress discussion panel, which when poast / topic will go to moderation, there are problems.

1. Post how someone will write what will go to moderation – it is not displayed for this guest – it should be otherwise will be sent to him to get it – can it be somehow fixed? Just a message about something like that.

2. when someone types a topic – it displays an empty page 404 with a dynamic address that does not have such a page – it’s a total logical error of the forum – it should move it to the list of topics in this forum section or also zoabaczyć (the same as comments that is the topic for moderation)

Can you fix it somehow, but without plugins?

[Danishsard]

Robin – how to omit Dispaly: none and use the same 65% along with deleting the entries from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/removing-1-post-1-voice-from-view/ it looks good.

Thank you very much for help in this topic. Actually these are two different classes on pages. Thanks!

[techiebraj]

It’s not working, when I add #bbpress-forums

Please see in the attached screenshot:-

With #bbpress-forums – http://prntscr.com/o9i4s9
Without #bbpress-forums it is ok but affecting category page- http://prntscr.com/o9i5kj

Thank you!

try

#bbpress-forums .ast-col-md-6 {

‘Even though bbPress’ documentation says that users with the Participant role can read private forums and topics, the current version of bbPress (2.5.14) allows participants to read private forum names, but not private topics names or content. ‘

sorry, can you explain further – what is not showing on what page ?

[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
