Is there any way to change the BBPRESS Topics and Posts default menu listing to show an icon/image instead ?

I have seen a couple of BBPRESS forums (https://wordpress.org/support/view/all-topics/) that achieve this, but no idea how ?

Thanks

Very strange, best next step is to see if any plugins are causing a conflict, if the site is not live, disable one plugin at a time and see if the BBPRESS side bar appears

I have lately been notified several times that obviously fake emails have evidently “subscribed” to my Forum. I thought that only approved users could see or subscribe to the forum, or at least I could approve anyone who subscribes. Is there a setting that prevents spammers from subscribing? Thanks.

Our site uses bbPress forums with a fairly large amount of traffic. We use Akismet for spam protection and it works reasonably well. The only issue is that a topic’s last active time updates even if the submitted comment is detected as spam. As a result, some old topics that have had spam comments posted into them, invariably find their way to the top of the forum, with no (visible) new content inside, which is annoying. Due to the size of the forum and the amount of traffic, retriggering the last active time calculation is somewhat unfeasible. My question is, is there a way to hook into bbPress internal functions and just prevent the $last_active_time from updating if the reply is already detected as spam?

Interesting, have you activated the ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ plugin ?
If so, then go to Dashboard > Settings > bbPress WP Tweaks > BBPRESS Side bar and for ACTION select REPLACE. for TARGET select SIDEBAR WIDGET AREA.

Then the BBPRESS Widgets sidebar should be accessible if you go to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > BBPRESS Sidebar

If that does not work, you may ave to try with a different theme

ok, not much i can do without seeing it, but it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, 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.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Hi there,

Forum replies are displaying with the incorrect timestamp. All replies to a topic are shown with the timestamp for when the topic was created, rather than when the actual comment was made.

I have the bbp style pack plugin, but can’t see a way to fix this here.

Wordpress – Current version: 6.4.3
BBpress – Version 2.6.9

[uksentinel]

I use the free version ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ which adds a dedicated BBPress sidebar to all forum pages including any searches.

Its a little outdated, but works well for myself.

My dedicated BBPRESS Sidebar is on the Right:

hope this helps 👍

[Robin W]

so set a global sidebar and make this the default

https://wpastra.com/docs/sidebar-free/

and bbpress should use this.

Re allinop.com

1. I have tried using bbpress style pakc to remove the words ‘creator’ ‘topic’ that are above every reply to no avail (bbstylepack > topic/reply display > 10. > 0px , but this did not work

2. I used bbstyle pack to disable all breadcrumbs. An unintended side effect is that topic titles also got removed. (now breadcrumb disable has been deselected).

Are there any css solutions for the above?

Thanks – those are deprecation errors from buddypress not bbpress.

I’d suggest you add

BP Classic

and see if that fixes.

If not, raise the issue in

https://buddypress.org/support/

Website: Allinop.com

Text editor is not appearing.

I use Generatepress with bbpress, bbstyle pack.

I selected text editor via bb stylepack plugin

I tried the classic editor with no success.

Re: Website: allinop.comI have used the following css to modify the [bbp-topic-index]

.bbp-topic-voice-count,
.bbp-topic-reply-count,
.bbp-topic-freshness {  /* Hides elements related to voice count, reply count, and topic freshness */
  display: none;
}

.avatar-14 {  /* Hides avatars with the class "avatar-14" */
  display: none !important;
}

.bbp-search-form {  /* Hides the bbPress search form */
  display: none;
}

I have 2 issues:

Firstly, the topic titles do not take the entire horizontal space.
It is as if the hidden elements still occupy the space.
I have tried ‘hidden: none’ instead ‘display: none’ to no avail.

Secondly, I’ve been trying to also remove the border around the list of latest topics.

I have unsuccessfully tried:

.bbp-topic {
  border: none;
}

and

.bbp-topic {
  outline: none;
}

I would be grateful for any ideas.

You are right, I was no keymaster anymore.
Which is special, since I’m the webdeveloper and installed the plugin and so.
Now I’m keymaster again, I can also check the user data.
So thanks for your help Robin!

bbpress should pay you for all the work you do for them!

[eefkedigibitch]

Okay this was a quick test.
I deactivated all my plugins accept for bbpress and still ‘Forums’ wasn’t shown in the left navigation bar. I reinstalled wordpress (6.4.3) but still nothing. So I don’t know what is going on, but I think bbpress isn’t compatible with this WP version or something…

[Robin W]

I’ve spilt this off to a separate topic, as it is a specific site issue.

so is this a new installation of bbpress, or a new issue on an existing one?

[eefkedigibitch]

Hi Robin,

You say ‘no issues’ but I’m having issues with my installation.
Somehow the I can’t access the ‘Forum’ settings in my menu, because it’s not there anymore. The plugin is active but not shown in the left navigation bar.

Next to that I can’t check the user data anymore. The users in my list are not clickable anymore. And when I deactivate the plugin, the user are clickable.
So thats strange right.

It’s probably another plugin that is causing the issue with bbpress, so I’m gonna check for that. If you ever heard something like this, please let me know.
Otherwise I’ll come back with my findings…

[Robin W]

there are thousands of themes, and putting divi into the search of this site has not produced any threads I can find which detail your issue, so not sure what to recommend other than asking elsewhere if there is a setting, Divi says it is bbpress friendly.

[brett3am]

hmmm I think I would need to create a different template for every page according to the suggestion on that page. Strange that there is not a built in way to handle this within bbpress. It so confusing to figure out how to style the pages within the bbpress documentation.

[Robin W]

you are using the divi theme

1. I’d suggest you add

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support and you’ll see some useful info on serach and profiles

2. it looks like the sub pages are using a different divi template.

this link might help
https://divi.help/threads/bbpress.11376/ or post on that support group or raise with Divi?
