Update:
This appears to be associated with another WP PLugin: “Ultimate Member”. If I disable this plugin I get avatars that are square (I’d guess around 15px).
Not sure whether to try to pursue this with the Ultimate Member team or via bbPress . 😐

Hi,

This is my first posting to this forum. I am beginning to test bbPress and have installed it on a development site. I have created one forum containing an intial “Welcome” topic.
See: http://dev.asbyparish.org.uk/forums/forum/asby-gardening-club/

The first thing that strikes me is the very weird aspect ratio of the avatars. Especially as my understanding is that avatars are always square(??)

How can I control the avatar size?
I see nothing under Settings > Forums, which is what I would expect.

Thanks,
Geoff

And I created two topics and for some reason bbpress for every single topic is pulling info from one page, the same page in both cases.

[pacss]

I’m having this very weird issue, for some reason BBPress is listing in the single forum page my wordpress websites pages as topics.

[Cazadividendos]

It still happens.

Can you add the fix to an stable version or explain how to fix it without losing the fix with every bbpress update?

Thanks!

I’ve been quiet on my bbPress IOS/Android app as of late. The current version is working very well and during our site’s off-season I’m migrating my codebase to a native platform. That’s going well and hopefully can take advantage of device specific features at some point if needed.

Hi there,

I have been using wordpress for the last year. In October I took over the completion of a site for a company I am working for. I set up a forum on the website using bbpress. All has worked fine until recently. Yesterday my boss pointed out an error on the forums page. See error here

I began trying to fix it by remaking the page, using different shortcodes and changing/refreshing settings. All my other shortcodes that I’m using on my website are working fine, and when I use a shortcode for a different plugin in the same place on this page, it works fine. The shortcode I have been using is [bbp-forum-index]. I don’t know what caused it to stop working, as I have not installed any new plugins since before it has stopped working.

WordPress 4.9.6 running Sydney theme.

bbPress not update for long time since version 2.5.14,
Still wait for some release news.

[reginariley]

I guess it’s a glitch, so I just disabled the forum.

It’s weird but every time I make a post, it duplicated a huge – blurry profile picture and my post is not shown, only the picture.

Also, I checked that “anonymous posting” is allowed, but forces the user to create an account.

Too many glitches in bbPress, perhaps I’ll give another forum site a chance.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-the-code-for-the-bbpress-widgets/ finally found answer here, for location.
Best suggestion is probably to make my own plugin that adds the widget, right?

[tyrsdei]

Hi, I’d like to make a custom widget with the default bbpress forum list widget as a code starting point. Where would I locate these, and where should I place them once I make it? Should i turn it into a personal plugin so i can use it on other sites if I wish?

It’s just that the default one is meant for a side bar, and I want one for under my header on my main page.

Thanks @netweb, I have submitted that ticket that now: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3201

[Stephen Edgar]

Sure, start by ceating a ticket on Trac @mbv https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

p.s I don’t see it being a high priority from the team right now, we’d be happy to take a look at any patches submitted and go from there of course though.

It would be really great if pagination for threaded comments could be looked into again. I notice there are a lot of people wanting this feature.

@svetoslavd79 came up with a mostly working solution and in the comments section provided ideas on how it could be re-done to prevent url linking issues:

I’m starting to think that the most elegant way to deal with all this issues surrounding pagination of replies is to create a hidden field in the reply form that saves the page number as a custom field attached to the reply. If you can accomplish that, modifying or filtering anything that needs a link to that particular reply post should be a breeze after that.

Anything else will have to involve some wild math to calculate each reply page number and will only weigh in on the execution and ultimately site speed and performance.

This is still not super simple but something to consider if you want to pursue such implementation.

Any chance of this being on the roadmap?

Oh, wait… there was no solution to having ajax reply for buddypress group forum reply?

What about just for non-BP bbpress forum reply? Is ajax reply possible?

[EGF]

I was able to resolve the issue by adding a conditional statement to check for bbpress search results using bbp_is_search_results(). The theme i’m using doesn’t play well with bbPress

<?php if ( !bbp_is_search_results() ) : ?>	
    
   <?php endif;?>	

[EGF]

When I perform a search, I get duplicate search results.

One set of results have no sidebar (full page width) and immediately below that I get a duplicate set of search results with the sidebar widgets. I am using a bbpress.php file in my child theme. It appears to be using that.

Here is my bbpress.php file:

<?php
/* Template Name: Page: bbpress.php */

global $data;

get_header(); ?>

<div class="page-wrap">

<?php get_template_part( 'framework/inc/slider' ); ?>
<div id="page-body" class="page-body">
    
    <div class="container">
				
		<div id="page-title">
		<hgroup>
		   <h2>Fax Software</h2>
		   <h1>Community Forums</h1>
                </hgroup>
		</div>
			
		<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) 
             {yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>');} ?>

		<?php echo do_shortcode( '[bbp-search]' ) ?>  
				
		<div class="row">
			<div class="span9"> 
						
			<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
					<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>><?php
						the_content();
						wp_link_pages(array('before' => 'Pages: ', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
					</article><?php
					if(!$data['check_disablecomments']) {
						comments_template();
					}
  				endwhile; endif; ?> 
			</div>
 			<?php get_sidebar('forums'); ?>    
			 
		</div>
	</div>
	
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I do not currently have a loop-search.php file in my child theme.

We installed bbpress and it was working a couple days ago. We have a memberpress website and had isntalled bbpress and buddypress. We deactivated buddypress because it was not working at all with our site. We have two topics posted however I am the only person who can view these topics. All other users only see that there are two topics but cannot access them at all. I have it set for forums that all members automatically are assigned the “participant” role. Our forum is here: catholicstudiesacademy.com/members
It is protected for members-only

Logged in members see the message “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

But when I am logged in as the administrator, I see the 2 topics and replies.

Read this old post maybe you find some help from it

Migrating from one bbpress installation to another

[cinderalla]

I’ve been working 2 days on trying to import a bbPress 2.5 forum into an existing website. My last attempt was manually changing and relinking all the forums, topics, and replies in the WordPress Importer’s exported xml files.

Everything looks good in respect to showing correct topic, post, reply, and voice counts. What I can’t figure out is why the topics and replies don’t list on the child forum pages or on the topic pages. Those pages say at the top the correct number topics and replies (i.e. “This forum contains 10 topics and 16 replies, and was last updated …), but directly under that it says “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

I’m guessing that I’m missing some sort of ID linking that doesn’t show on the xml export. Please, can anyone help? Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am hoping you can point me in the right direction with this as i am rather stuck.

essentially i installed BBPress on a WP site over a year ago, for several reasons i now need to move it to its own WP install so i moved it into a sub folder called ‘forum’ hoping to keep the links working

the end result however is all of the links to forums now have: /forum/forum/ on them, once from the fact the WP install is in a sub folder called forum, the next from bbpress

how do i stop bbpress from adding the extra forum into the URL?

the Forum Prefix in the option does not do this (you would have thought it would do given the name)

any ideas?

[crlucas]

im trying to use this plugin, but i have some issues

https://github.com/aliso/bbpress-ajax-replies

any idea?

[samgeppi108]

I think it is very weird that BBPress does not have a “read-only” option .. But can I just change the font color in a “closed” forum from the (very hard to read) light gray color to a regular black color?

That would accomplish the same thing

thanks

Hi,
I’m using bb press with restrict content pro on a private forum.
I have bbpress version 2.5.14 and Big Brother theme.
I can change my user forum roles in their settings to participant, but on the main screen under Forum roles it shows up that everyone is an instructor.

Please advise.

Wondering if adding a bbPress 2.x to bbPress 2.x importer will happen? If not, could you lead me in another direction after reading what I’ve already tried?

The bbPress Import Export Plugin by wpfloor does not link the topics and replies to the forums when importing into an existing site.

I have also tried using the WordPress Importer, then manually linking the topics and replies using PHPMyAdmin. Everything appeared to be linked properly in the backend after that. However, the topics and replies wouldn’t show in the frontend.
