I was wondering if there were a way to not have a topic’s content appear in its own box at the top of the reply list. Ditto for the forum content (in other words, the HTML that output using bbp_topic_content() and bbp_forum_content() respectively).

The built-in bbPress styling shows the topic and forum content in a box that has the same (or very simiar) styling as replies. In my case, I’d like to remove the box so that the content appears as though it’s the lead-in text of a page (with H2s, H3s and so forth) with the replies + reply form below.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Idea / potential solution 1)
I found that I can do this:

add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_topic', 'show_text');
function show_text() {
	ob_start();	
	echo '<div class="my_class">';
	add_action ('bbp_get_topic_content', 'do_shortcode'); // added b/c the content may have shortcodes
	bbp_topic_content();
	echo '</div>';   
	$output = ob_get_clean();   
	echo $output;
}

But this results in the topic content appearing in both the “top” of the page (as I’d prefer) and in its box listed with the replies (which I’d like to remove).

Idea / potential solution 2)
I’m guessing there’s something I can do with a template. If so, can someone direct me to how my plug-in can override bbPress’s template? I haven’t done a lot of template work.

Troubleshooting
– All themes have this “extra box” issue.
– Using WP 4.9.8
– Using bbPress 2.5.14-6684
– I’m working on a local site, so I can’t provide a link

that post refers to version 1 of bbpress, so that file no longer exists

if your forum is public, please post a link to it and say exactly what you want to be different

Dear Buddypress community,

I’m facing hard time to simply add space between topic tabs using the bbp-topic-index shortcode.

I only found this post with a reply on this problem here : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/space-between-posts/

However, the solution given seems either outdated either wrong because there is no such things as topic.php in my bbpress or theme directory.

I cannot find the template (.php) used to render the topics index table and I tried adding margin through CSS but none worked.

I see the topics list is designed as table using tr and td but don’t know how to customize it.

Any help would be appreciated,

Sincerely,

[darunia77]

Hello,

I just installed bbpress on my site (greenteacoffeedate.com) and noticed that it hides notifications from another plugin in user’s profile. It does not hide standard BP notifications like, someone sent you a message or commented on your activity post (in BP, not BB). The plugin in question is this one and it’s no longer supported so I can’t reach out to the plugin designer. So members can’t see who viewed their profile in notifications.

Buddypress Who clicked at my Profile?

I looked at the code in my Chrome inspector and this is what happens. Please see linked image:

So I can see that the description is turned off ( the one on top) but where do I turn it back on (like in the bottom yellow rectangle). I tried to play with display tag in css but it doesn’t seem to do it. Any thoughts?

[Robin W]

you would be better to ask the GC bbpress attachements author on his support site, as it is his function you need to alter

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments

[eigodeasobo]

I have implemented an image attachment function using “GD bbPress Attachments”.

However, since we only want to implement it in the topic creation form, we do not need it on the reply form.

Could you teach me how to do this please?

Thanks.

Tried the new CSS. Still seeing same thing on sidebar. Text is not aligned with fields. I deleted cache on site and browser. Also tried other browsers. here’s a screenshot: http://www.stargatetothecosmos.org/StargatebbpressIssue.png

titles are theme related, so you would need to modify the theme template being used by bbpress.

see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

part 8, and create a bbpress.php file from the template your theme is using to display bbpress. This plugin will show you what templates are being used

Show Current Template

this is theme related – and beyond my free help to fix, but try and work through this resource, in particular item 8

I came across this same issue and found this thread.

“bbpress default role is only allocated on first user login, so users who register but haven’t yet logged in will show as having no role.”

If this is how it works, how anyone is supposed to know? Naturally you would think you can change user roles by multiple select and assign them a role when they don’t have one yet. Maybe a popup message would help when the admin attempts such action.

the bbpress theme is here

[gokberktalu]

Could you tell me how I can make the forums homepage like in the bbpress forums? I want to fill the empty left space but the widgets just add to the right side

[gokberktalu]

I installed bbpress on my wordpress site and it looks like this:

https://ibb.co/fRQMSU
https://ibb.co/bu3mu9

It doesn’t look remotely good like it does on this website.
I use the theme “Twenty Sixteen” along with the plugin “Customize Twenty Sixteen”
I also use “LearnDash”.

Can somebody tell me what could be the reason for the strange looking page?

[Robin W]

There hasn’t been an update to bbpress for over 6 months – so not sure what you were updating.

you will need to either get your host provider to roll back you site, or get ftp access and change the name of the offending plugin

Hi guys,

May I know why is language code missing bbPress search page URL? I have a multi language website using Polylang and everything works except for the bbPress function. It only returns the English data instead of the Chinese data.

Anyone know the solution to fix this?

Thank
Cristiano

I just got notice when I went to the backend of my wordpress site that there was an update. It was a bbpress update, so I clicked to install it and it broke my website. I can’t get to the plugins page or anything to uninstall the update. Please help! Even the front end of my website is down.

It looked like it installed correctly, but I get a HTTP ERROR 500 when I try to access my homepage or any other page on the website.

“Downloading update from

Unpacking the update…

Installing the latest version…

Removing the old version of the plugin…

Thank you,

By adding 'author' => bp_displayed_user_id(), to this code, my purpose can be achieved.

But I would like to output with the same structure as BuddyPress activity.

I recently installed bbPress on my site countryguitaronline.com and it’s working great, but I’m having trouble saving my Menus in WP admin dashboard and I’m having trouble saving other settings here and there when I’m working in my WP admin dashboard.

Anyways, can I uninstall bbPress to see if there’s a plugin conflict, then re-activate bbPress and keep all the previous user forum posts and all that data? I’m assuming yes, but just wanted to check.

Thanks!

Hi there!

We are having the same issue on our website whenever we create a new BBPress topic. Tried adding it to GTM manually didn’t do the trick either.

In the search console, there is an hatom error everytime you create a new forum topic.

Missing author
Missing updated

Testing data online with Google structured data testing tool does not reveal error in that regards any idea what JSON-LD should be added to BBPress files to fix this?

Thanks

[timmoser]

as stated above, i deactivated every single plugin beside bb press without any change. furthermore, the same is the case in this forum. just test it. apparently something is flawed in the bbpress plugin itself.
cheers

[devintshawn]

I just installed bbPress here https://countryguitaronline.com/forum/

The topic count at the top where it says “This forum contains X topics and X replies…” is saying 6 topics, but then below there are actually only 5 topics.

Any ideas? I’ve cleared my site cache with W3 Total Cache, purged my CDN, and cleared my local browser history.

Thanks!

Hi, I also want to change language english to turkish. I download the mo and po files and put them in to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/.. But there is no config file to change define(‘BBLANG’,); to define(‘BBLANG’, ‘tr_TR’);
where it should be and if I created config.php and if I just write “define(‘BBLANG’, ‘tr_TR’);” is it work?

I hope somebody help me

[Robin W]

and there is an integration plugin

bbPress Integration

[Robin W]

As far as I know the two work together

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

When i try to activate learndash plugin then my bbpress reply are not showing.

its showing 404 error with “WE’RE SORRY
404 Error. It could be an outdated link or just a small technical glitch. Try the URL again, or find what you’re looking for on our Homepage.”
