I want to limit the number of characters in the Topic Content Text Area in bbPress to a maximum limit (of say 500 characters). How can I do it?

I tried to do it by using the maxlength attribute of textarea (bbp_topic_content) in the stylesheet file, but this attribute is not working (may perhaps be because this attribute was included in HTML5 version only). However, if I use this in Developer Tools in Chrome while inspecting the text area for Topic Content, it works fine; but that is only for testing and I am not able to make a permanent change by editing the source file or through any plugin.

Other two methods could be javascript to check on local machine the number of characters being entered, but I understand that this can easily be cheated by disabling javascript. Moreover, I am not fully sure how to do it.

Third method could be to use for action or filter hook. Can you please suggest me which hook to be used and sample code, if any?

Thanks in advance.

This is the most annoying issue with BBPress and has been an issue for who knows long. Members in my forum start a new topic and abandon the old one when this happens. It makes things messy.

@kurzbaginski , Thanks for sharing. Does this also work for bbpress 2.6?

I have another issue that, whenever I update a topic in admin area, the subscriptions get lost.

I have to find a way to keep the subscriptions after updating a topic in admin area.

[mrwrongusername]

I have one issue with deleting topics on bbPress.

I have 40 000 spam topics created by anonimous user. Now I am trying to delete them all but my hosting provider timeouts when I try to delete more than 30 comments at one time.

Any way this could be done through phpMyAdmin or some other way?

[Robin W]

a couple of possibles

1. you haven’t closed the }

bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p, bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p { font-size: 12px; }

2. or try

bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p, bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p { font-size: 12px !important}

[ducrevit181]

You have been a great help.

I read through and tried https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/

What I did,
1. installed Simple Custom CSS plugin – all ok
2. insert the below code. and changed the font-size: 1.1em; to 1.6em

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

IF post is sticky or super sticky, then

.bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky, .bbp-topics ul.super-sticky, .bbp-topics ul.sticky, .bbp-forum-content ul.sticky { background-color: #ffffe0 !important; font-size: 1.1em; }

but the rest doesn’t seem to work…especially
Number 5. Various texts

bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p, bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p { font-size: 12px;

I change the font-size: 20px

nothing happens. 

what did I do wrong? basically I wanted to increase font size for all forum section from 1 to 8. How please.

Thank you in advance

Sorry for all the replies to my own post, can’t edit the original.

This only happens on larger phones with very small text, meaning I set my phone DPI to 484dp and I get what you see in the first picture, however if I set my phone to 411dp everything works great!

Is there an easy way to adjust the minimum dpi width for bbPress for mobile phones? Meaning having bbPress switch to the mobile responsive design after the screen is below say 490dp?

[seanrowe]

So I work as a web developer using wordpress, however I do not use bbPress on any of my sites currently. However I am a member of a forum that I really enjoy, however it severely lacks some elements of responsive design for mobile phones. I cannot say for sure it’s something directly related to bbPress, however being that bbPress is such a large platform I have to assume there is a solution.

The problem:

The problem is related to multiple quotes inside of a post. When a person quotes a reply that was also quoting a previous reply we get multple “quote” section before the new content. The result on a mobile phone is that the quotes get squished into single character per line so it looks

l
i
k
e

t
h
i
s

Is there a solution to making the previous quotes either hidden in a spoiler tag by default or simply show only the 1 quote per post on mobile?

Here is a screenshot of what I’m talking about: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DbJjmuCinBhP1yhprZXcNC_ZMz4gj-cT

P.S. I am not a developer on this website, but I thought I’d present a solution to the owner to help him out 🙂

P.P.S. I noticed he uses elementor as well, so not sure if that has any relation.

I have bbpress 2.6 RC5

[Robin W]

we’ve all been there, and the frustration is enormous !

Buddypress and bbpress are two different products. They work apart, and also work together, although I’ve not used buddypress so know little about it.

With 50,000 plugins and 20,000 themes everything does not always work together.

contact me via my website with your site details and issues and I’ll take a look, but won’t be until tomorrow

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[armyadarkness]

Also… Do you think that buddypress and bbpress do the same things? I didn’t think so, but several people have implied that they do, and that it’s causing conflicts for me because I use both

[mrwassen]

Hi guys,

I am fairly new to the bbpress world. The issue I am having is that a user subscribed to a forum receives an email notification when a new topic is posted, but NOT when somebody replies to a topic.

I setup a brand new site with only bbPress and buddypress and replicated the issue there. My versions are:

Wordpress: 5.0 (also an issue on v. 4.9.8 in the live site)
Buddypress: 4.1.0
bbPress: 2.5.14
Theme: Twenty Nineteen v. 1.0 (bundled)

I am unable to find any settings other than “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics” in the Forum Settings which is ticked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dennis

Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I also want to change the message in German.
but i have two files:
one is wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages/bbpress-de_DE.po
and one is wp-content/languages/plugins/bbpress-de_DE-formal.po

I have tried adding a dir after bbpress in my theme i.e. mytheme/bbpress/languages/bbpress-de_DE.po
and then changing the translation in this .po file, but this hasnt worked.
Any ideas?

I have given an honest effort searching to find out which plugins or modifications are needed.. not much luck finding these answers.

What bbpress addon is the wordpress support forum using to put the little check mark on a resolved topic? I did find a support plugin, but its not the right one.

And how is the styling accomplished in the forums there (and here) where you see the “Started by: <username> in: <highlighted forum name>”. I am also trying to get the Freshness column left aligned as opposed to centered in its column.

[armyadarkness]

In world where customization is everything, how can bbpress be so far behind the times?

The number one complaint that I get from customers, is that the colors and fonts are very hard to read, because font size is not easily changed, and neither is font/ background color.

I’ve scoured the web for this info, and I’m the only person asking how to change the font size and color in bbpress forums. Unbelievable that I can build my own website and forum, but then not complete such a menial task like changing a font color.

That seems like first day material… How are business owners adhering to strict recipes for a successful and efficient business model, when you waste countless hours daily, trying to perform basic function?

Its all so misleading and disheartening. Why imply that it’s DIY if it’s not?

[Robin W]

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-user-register.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-user-register.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this file.

When i create new topic it shows normally no issues!!
But i had a huge data that needed to be imported on the same site. I used WP All Import Plugin for the import and I imported the data into topics… Actually I only require the topics section so there is forum I want to show… I managed the look. But after the import finished. I cant see the list of topics that meant to be seen on my homepage. Though I see the topics in the sidebar under related topics. I used shortcode [bbp-topic-index] to show the topic on my homepage.
I can also see the topic in my wordpress topics section…
So, I decided to take a look in my database. I saw that earlier when i created topics it was stored in wp_posts table but now after import all that new data is in wp_pmxi_ tables and topics were in wp_pmxi_topics table. I don’t know if that supposed to be but I cant solve this issue… I even imported data again in posts which then went to wp_posts table in database but ofcourse wordpress was taking that as posts not bbpress topics…
Can please someone help me out?

[haddly]

Hey,
I have my own plugin that i add snippets to occasionally.
I want to add my own registration message to the forum, but i assume that with every bbpress update, it will get overwritten if i change it in the form-user-register.php file directly.
can you tell me how to overwrite the message please with an additional function?
thx

[Robin W]

yes with bbpress you can make a post sticky or super sticky – stick or stick to front

sticky puts it at the top of its forum, super sticky put it at the top of all forums
