bbpress does not directly provide for image upload, so you’ll need to use a plugin such as

GD bbPress Attachments

Whatvere plugin you use, suggest you contact that plugins author for what works well with it

Hello,

I have checked this plugin and it still works nicely at the moment.
I have followed the suggestions provided by “makingcircuits” in one of the other threads, and could convert all my existing wordpress comments to bbpress forum discussion with a few clicks.
I think this is a unique feature which only bbpress is able to provide with the help of this plugin, therefore we really want this plugin to be maintained and updated from time to time so the users can feel comfortable about implementing for the said purpose.
I have tons of comments in wordpress which are not getting indexed by Google, therefore turning them into forum can instantly provide a huge SEO boost for these comments and could hugely improve the search engine presence of my site.
However I could go ahead with this only when I feel assured that the mentioned plugin would be maintained regularly by the author or if there could be an alternative to this plugin.

The plugin looks very useful and enables only bbpress with this very crucial feature of turning wordpress comments into bbpress forum, with just a few clicks.

I hope somebody will take an initiative in this regard

[Robin W]

ok, I worked out an easy way to do that

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/loop-single-reply.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/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so replace line 61 which reads

<div class="bbp-reply-content">

with

<?php
	//now check if it is the topic author
		$author = bbp_get_reply_author_id(bbp_get_reply_id()) ;
		$current_user = get_current_user_id() ;
		if ($author == $current_user) {
			echo '<div class="bbp-reply-content bbp-author">' ;
		}
		else echo '<div class="bbp-reply-content">' ;
	?>

then just add the bbp-author css styling to your theme’s custom css

eg

.bbp-author {
background : green ;
}

you might require

.bbp-author {
background : green !important;
}

depending on where you put the css.

@shland01 – I’ve answered in the other link, so post that here for completeness

Specific Moderator per forum?

and I’ll only update the other one

[Robin W]

I presume Rkk has deleted.

my styles pack plugin has a shortcode

[Profile label=’This is the label’] will show

which will let you add that as a text box beneath the standard bbpress login.

bbp style pack

once installed and activated – go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes to find what the options are

[makingcircuits]

The existing plugin “bbpress topics for posts” by Mr. David Dean is too old and seems like it is now no longer being updated and almost abandoned by the owner, therefore I would request bbpress or somebody here to take over this plugin or create an alternative for this plugin.
It is because this is the only plugin which allows merging existing wordpress comments with bbpress forum.
I have successfully tried the procedures and could merge my earlier regular wordpress comments inside bbpress under every post.
So this plugin is very important considering that it converts your ordinary wordpress comments into SEO rich bbpress forum replies.
Please help! I would really appreciate if somebody could come with a similar version of this plugin

Hello,

I’ve read ALL of the bbpress docs on here, and a few months ago i installed the RKK Login Widget as suggested here:

https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#3-adding-an-amend-profilepassword-to-the-login-widget

It seems the github gist where that plugin was hosted is now gone.

Is there any way to get this plugin still?

Thank you.

[TechHaus]

If I have a forum where people will be posting many images, what do you suggest?

Thank you for any help.

[adamorigin2]

Thanks very much Stephen! It would be great if that table of emoticons could be included in the current forum GUI reply box. Even if it’s just a hover over a smiley image to show the complete list. Doesn’t need to be selectable, though that would be extra fancy.

Is there a list of other other functionality not listed in quicktags. ie embedding videos when a youtube link is used. Tagging a forum user within a post with @username. Or have I listed all the hidden user-sided magic off bbPress now 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Apologies, I missed that one, bbPress uses the same smileys as WordPress

The full list can be found here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies

I currently am using this:

https://kristarella.blog/2013/04/bbpress-forum-icons/

But for speed and looks, I’m trying to use a “font awesome” icon for the forum icon.

My plan was to use some css for each forum, and then style the font icons individually.

I started off with this in stylesheet, but it’s not working:

ul#bbp-forum-9:before {
	font-family: FontAwesome;
	content: '\f058';
	color: #6190C3;
	font-size: 30px;
	padding-right: 10px;
	margin-left: -15px;
	position: absolute;
 	left: -13px;
	margin-top: 1px;
 }

I’ve tried several variations with no luck.

Any suggestions on how to get this css to work properly?

Thanks for any tips.

Update:

Sadly I have removed the set up…. because the bbpress topics for posts plugin seems to be too outdated and could have security issues…

[vantuancnc]

Hello,
I have a problem with bbpress, my member after creating a discussion can not edit this topic again! Please support me. Thanks very much.

[Stephen Edgar]

Try our docs, they are in English but cover most of what you are asking, I think 😉

Getting Started

[lilymonsterz]

Hello all!

I’m hoping someone can help me out with this. After a “successful” transfer from Simple:Press to BBPress, I noticed a few things didn’t import quite right. All the posts are not showing up except for the root posts.

It imported all the users but didn’t assign posts to the proper users so all of them are reading as only one user posting everything. (See image under “Creator” tab of each post)

I’m sorry if I’m being a noob, but is there any way I can match settings to the old forum?

[Robin W]

that’s something that a plugin is adding – what email/bbpress additional plugins are you running?

I know you are fixed, but this information will help someone else who later has the same problem 🙂

[Robin W]

this css should work

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img {
	max-width: 100%;
	display: block;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
}

presume your theme has a custom css area you can put this in ?

[angeljs]

I do have GD bbPress, and I also use image links from my media files, too.

[Robin W]

ok, so do you have a plugin adding images (eg GD bbPress Attachments) or how do you do this?

[egathernl]

Hi,

I’ve created a custom module for bbpress to combine all new topics and replies in one overview. From there the moderator can comment on all the incoming messages. This works only i’ve one problem. To add a new reply i use the next code:

reply_data = array('post_parent'=>$post_parent, 'post_content' => $post_content);
$reply_meta = array('forum_id'=>$post_forum_id, 'topic_id' => $post_topic_id);
bbp_insert_reply($reply_data,$reply_meta);

When this is a reply on an other reply everything works fine. But when it is a reply on a new topic then the Topic starter ip-adres is changed to the ip-address of the moderator. I can turn some things off in the core function includes/topics/functions.php

// Update poster IP if not editing
update_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_author_ip', bbp_current_author_ip(), false );

But that isn’t what I prefer of course.

Could someone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Niels

I have looked there but couldn’t find what I was after. I was looking at once bbPress plugin is installed what functionality will it give within the actual editor window to users of the forum. Some things are listed in quicktags ie strong tags that bold words. But what about all the other things not listed in quicktags, emoticons etc. Surely there has to be a complete cheat sheet of what code gives what result.

Thanks for your time.

Have you looked at https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/ ?

Try adding this to your custom css:

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body div.topic {
background-color: #ffe;
border: 1px solid #dd6;
}

and this to your functions.php:

function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
  $show_lead[] = 'true';
  return $show_lead;
}

add_filter('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'custom_bbp_show_lead_topic' );
