Hi,

I’d like to remove the header from all bbPress pages on my site, but can’t quite figure it out!

I’m using the theme Total, and advice from the theme creator was to put .ht-main-header{display:none;} in Appearance > Customise > Additional CSS. This worked, but removed the header from all pages across the website and forum. I’d like to keep the header on all main website pages and only remove it from bbPress pages.

The main forum is here: https://economy10.com/f/

I can remove the header from an individual page by adding .postid-994 .ht-main-header{display:none;} but this is only for a specific page. How can I do this for all forum pages?

I’m relatively new to using wordpress/bbpress (and don’t really understand CSS tbh!) so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Mark

Hey,
I’ve created a forum on my website using BBpress and Buddy press, but unfortunately i have 2 problems,

The first one is when I go to the forum, the profile picture of the last post creator is very large and making the page look unresponsive, and the second problem is that the register and login bar doesn’t appear at all, so no one can register although I’ve marked on the “anyone can register” in the settings.

Here’s the link of the forum so you can see the picture and also see that the registration bar doesn’t appear.

– The bbpress version is the latest since I’ve just installed it.

Thanks,

Is there any decision for bbpress to have telegram chat import?

[checmark]

Thanks for the help. I’m slowing figuring it out but now have a new issue. I can’t seem to delete anything. I had a duplicate topic so trashed it but it’s still showing. Also had a forum I deleted but it’s also still showing. ??

Showing forums and sub forums is fine. Clicking on a forum takes you to the topics, I assumed; however, a bunch of topics put under a sub forum didn’t show up until I changed it to a different sub forum, then they did show up there. I really want to use bbPress; but I’m obviously struggling.

Appreciate any help.

[Robin W]

it is ‘simply’ ‘showing the forums and sub forums’ – if you want it to show topics as well, then you would use a page with a list of shortcodes eg [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]

This will show all the topics – you would need to do some coding to just show topic titles.

Looks like it’s hard to get help on this forum. If someone would just steer me to the right documentation for bbPress or the bbp style pack that would be much appreciated. I’m simply trying to get my forum to show the forums, sub forums and topics on the homepage of the forum.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

ok, mark as read is not a part of bbpress itself.

what other bbpress related plugins do you have ?

Hello,
I would like to create new roles in bbpress.
Since this is not easy, I have used this code

/**
 * Neue Benutzerrollen
 */
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called Super-Administrator */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_super-administrator'] = array(
        'name' => 'Super-Administrator',
        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_super-administrator' )

Unfortunately, I have the problem that the rights are all set to deny, as soon as the user changes something in his profile.
Can I prevent that?

In addition I have installed the plugin “bbPress Advanced Capabilities”

Thank you Robin!

Unfortunately we do use buddypress along with bbpress. So I’d be thankful for a plugin solution that works for both.

[mestrawberry]

I am using the bbPress import tool to try and move my old Joomla Kunena forum to bbPress on our new WordPress site, but on the conversion box it just says there are no users, topics, forums, etc. Any ideas?

bbpress only works on wordpress – sorry !

Hi there.
I tried to install bbpress in Joomla, but I can`t understand how it works. so please guide me..

[Pascal Casier]

This might do it: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-reply-titles/

[dheerajsharma14]

The above code does not work. It is not part of overall_header.html BUT should be part of viewtopic.php. I was able to search all the code files and place the code in right place to make my migration successful.

However, all user replies were not mapped to users rather imported as anonymous 🙁 … On the other hand, Topics were successfully mapped to right users. Is there any help I can get in mapping those anonymous users back to right users in bbPress?

[brmbk]

I am using WP 4.9.5 and bbpress 2.5.14 for a closed user group. Access to the forum main page needs registration and sign in. That works well. On the forum main page the different forums are marked as privat. When I am on the page of a specific forum, in the title “Privat” appeards twice. This is not a critical issue, but not nice. What do I have to do to change that?

[cpo1wh]

Hello, I’m a newby and having trouble getting bbpress sidebar to show on forum page. I’ve tried the various combinations with sidebar widget populated with a couple of other widgets, but still can’t see the bbpress sidebar. I have the wp tweaks installed as well. The forum page has the bbpress shortcode on it.
Thanks for your help. The website is oandp.link.

Hello,
How to show bbpress Post Count, Author Count, Last Post Date in Google results?

[Robin W]

so in summary

live site with

Buddypress 2.9.4
bbpress 2.5.14
wordpress 4.9.5
elementor (various, 1.9.6, 1.9.8, 2.0.4)

WAS working, but then suddenly stopped. Yes, this was working and then wasn’t as opposed to not working ever on live?

Test Site :

Buddypress 2.9.4
bbpress 2.5.14
wordpress 4.9.5
elementor WHICH VERSION ?

IS working and always has been ?

Is the above all correct?

[Robin W]

If you are just using bbpress (and not buddypress) then install

bbp style pack

and go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>profile and you’ll see options to block this

[loiruca]

HI, I deactivate all plugins except for bbpress, also changed themes and nothing. Emila registration is not going out. SMTP didn’t work either. Don’t know what to anymore 🙁

[galt]

The info below was submitted to Elementor tech support. They are stumped after several days and iterations and asked me to inquire here if someone had seen something similar and might give us a clue as to what is happening.
*******************
Using bbpress, I have subforums, as defined by the parent child relationship. Now it seems that bbpress is refusing to assign ANY parents to any forum. If I take a child forum (any forum) and try to assign it to a new parent, when I update it it ends up with no parent. Every single time.

Oddly (LOL), I do have two older test sites where it is working okay. I am stumped about what is different.

I did about an hour of trying to track this down. My final step was to disable every plugin except for buddypress and bbpress. That caused it to start working properly again. I next added Elementor 2.0.4 and that immediately recreated the problem

I downgraded back to Elementor 1.9.8 and the problem persists. I also tried 1.9.6

Buddypress 2.9.4
bbpress 2.5.14
wordpress 4.9.5
elementor (various, 1.9.6, 1.9.8, 2.0.4)

I have a site where the parent function is working properly. It is running all the same versions of plugins listed above. The theme in both cases is identical (Astra 1.2.5). The plugins shown are the ONLY plugins activated on the broken site.

I have left my development site with everything disabled for now, but I need to get back to work within a day on this site.

*************************
I have a test site available with the minimal configuration of plugins.

Dispensary Patients

I can share the admin login if needed with someone from the bbpress team if they wish to do some deep digging. You can see the site as a user at

[nit7]

Is there possible from bbPress.org!

I want to setup a forum based on bbPress but to look and have all the functions like bbPress.org has is that possible !

Will bbPress want to help on that !, but just to be it responsive for god sake ^_^

PS Regards from me!

[James Revillini]

For latest fix in WP 4.9 see https://wordpress.org/support/topic/solved-bbpress-topic-editor-breaks-with-autoptimize/

[Robin W]

can only suggest

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
