Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

and in particular item 5

[andhi1]

Can you give me a CSS document that handles everything on bbPress so that I can decide how I want everything to look.
Instead of, like now, ask for one CSS snippet after the other?
Most fonts are too small, often not more than 10px, and since my site is for older people with impaired vision, it is important that my site is adapted to them.

Sorry for the double post. But I found this thread. It might be a temp solution.

[Robin W]

bbpress is forum software, and with lost of bespoke coding you might possibly get what you want, but you would probably be better looking for a testimonial plugin.

just google ‘wordpress testimonial plugin’

[Robin W]

it will be a change

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.

[andhi1]

All menus associated with bbPress on my site https://hagdahlseniorcenter.com/ suddenly no longer works. The main menu “Member” and all its sub menues does not work. What can cause this, and is it something you can help me with?

Hi,

I am working on a product testimonials project and would like to know if bbpress is the right plugin for the job. Can it do the following:

Visitors can search and view testimonials
Visitors can create an account to post testimonials

Testimonials will include
Title
Text
product name text field: Product used
product url text field: Product link
if text field blank -> default will be used

Account members can post questions under testimonials – original poster will be notified and can reply
Possibly create a paid account where ads are removed.

Thank you!!

I would like to use html in topics that is then reflected in excerpts. There is a plug-in for general WP called Advanced Excerpt that enables this. But I am wondering if it can be done for bbpress excerpts.

Details:

In a forum (https://devgo.jeffbelkora.com/collections/articles/resource-list/) I am using some code from https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/bbpress-topic-excerpts, namely:

function add_topic_excerpt() {
echo “<p>”.bbp_get_topic_excerpt( $topic_id, 200).”</p>”;
}
add_action(‘bbp_theme_after_topic_title’, ‘add_topic_excerpt’ );

Unfortunately, the bbpress excerpt does not show active links (html) from the content as I desire.

Any ideas?

Sorry to necro this thread, but just wanted to say that this issue is still occurring in 2019, but copy/pasting “content-search.php” into it’s own bbpress directory in your theme as described above will resolve the issue. Easy fix, thanks!

[Robin W]

put this in your custom css

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: 24px !important;
}

Sorry, I asked my question at the wrong forum. I’m trying to integrate a download manager with bbPress. So only forum members can exchange files by up- and downloading them.

Excuse.

[Robin W]

there is no pro version of bbpress, so no idea wat you are asking 🙂

[Wansink]

Hello,

I bought the pro version and the plugin to integrate downloads with my bbPress Forum.
Only on “settings-download page” at the bottom the bbPress option only shows “disable” and I like to “enable” it.
What’s wrong, do I miss something?

Thanks in advance!

[Robin W]

none I know of

this one seems to have bbpress integration

[Wansink]

Hello,

I need help with the following:
Is there a way to integrate bbPress with a downloadmanager.
I want that members of a -non public- forum can post and download files.

WordPrerss Download Manager has a add-on to integrate with BuddyPrerss, hopefully there is such a plugin or add-on for bbPress.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

It looks like MathML is not being rendered. WIRISplugins.js is properly loaded, but it does not found any MathML to parse and render.
Indeed, the following:
document.getElementsByTagName(‘math’)
does not produce any results.
The issue lies in either bbPress:Regarding bbPress, after a quick search in their forums, apparently you need to whitelist MathML tags in bbPress, so that users can add MathML in their forum posts.

Maybe there is a plugin or some instructions to allow MathML tags in bbPress. Unfortunately, we are not familiar with bbPress internals. You will probably get more useful info by asking in their support channels how to allow MathML tags in posts.

Hox do I Increase text size for bbPress forum

[licondam]

Hi there!

We’re trying to move our forums from a custom Q&A platform to bbPress… very glad there is now an importer!

So I copied example.php to myimport.php, changed the class name, and updated the tables/columns that apply (the ones that exist in the old database).

And ran the import…

But I keep running into import errors for fields that don’t apply as they don’t exist in the other database, like forums_table.the_reply_count

So for a field that just does not exist in the old database, what’s the proper syntax for “ignore this”? 🙂

For example, this one…

// Forum topic count (Stored in postmeta)
$this->field_map[] = array(
‘from_tablename’ => ‘forums_table’,
‘from_fieldname’ => ‘the_topic_count’,
‘to_type’ => ‘forum’,
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_topic_count’
);
I looked for this on the importer codex page, but just don’t see it.

Thanks!

Unfortunately it didn’t work :(. It’s just weird that it’s just this one page and the other topic pages are fine…like you said, the difference seems to be that for the page in question (linked above with the centering issue), it is a short-code pasted on an actual page of my website, whereas the rest are bbpress generated.

Interesting to note, I had to use the ubiquitous twenty seventeen theme for the forum pages (include the one we are trying to fix) because the theme for my website was so incompatible with buddypress. It ran bbpress fine. In fact, this centering thing was not a problem for my theme (but I had to switch since the theme would not allow buddypress). It was only once I set the twenty seventeen theme to this page specifically that this issue appeared! Not sure if that helps with any more solutions…

[Robin W]

so from forums loop remove

<li class="bbp-forum-freshness"><?php _e( 'Freshness', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

and from loop single forum remove

<li class="bbp-forum-freshness">

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_forum_freshness_link(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

		<p class="bbp-topic-meta">

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_author' ); ?>

			<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author' ); ?>

		</p>
	</li>

I’ll let you work out the topics

[Hummingbird]

Wordpress version:5.1.1
bbPress version: 2.5.14

Question #1:

Here’s the page I’m looking at: http://www.toledonaturalist.org/forums/

I cannot figure out how to center the forum information on the page. I created this “forums” page and simply pasted in this shortcode: [bbp-forum-index]

At first I thought there was an invisible sidebar. Nope, it does not appear that there are any active sidebars. Perhaps I could fiddle around with the template? Nope, doesn’t seem to impact anything. I could try centering the shortcode with CSS? Nope, this didn’t work either, although I don’t know much about CSS, so I easily could have just typed it in wrong.

The weird thing is that all of the children pages are centered. It’s just this page that is having issues.

Question #2)
Here is the page I am looking at:
http://www.toledonaturalist.org/login/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toledonaturalist.org%2F

This is so bizarre! The login works great, but I don’t even have a login page on my list of “pages.” I want to change the header image and the redirection after login, but I have no idea where bbpress is getting this page. Without knowing where it is, I cannot reset the redirection after login (I want it to go to the very first link in this post) or change the header image.

Let me know what you think!

Hello!
How can we block from indexing pages with search like this – >
https://proportsia.co.il/search/%7Bsearch_term%7D/page/3/
https://proportsia.co.il/search/%7Bsearch_term%7D/page/5/
https://proportsia.co.il/search/%7Bsearch_term%7D/page/4/ 

WP – wp 5.1.1–he_IL
bbPress – Moderation Tools 1.2.4
bbPress Moderation 1.8.3

Looking forward to your answer.
Huge thanks in advance.
Best regards, Marina.

hmm

you’ll need to alter several files, so general first

altering bbpress templates

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

files

There may be others, but

loop-forums (forum headings)
loop-single forum (forum content)
loop-topics (single forum heading)
loop-single-topic (single forum content)

will get you most of the way there

[Robin W]

ok, two things

1. you could just use the template in my

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates

2. if you want to alter that,
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 download my plugin and find template/templates1/loop-forums

copy that file to your theme and put it in the bbpress directory
