got other question is ther some plugin to migrate mybb to bbpress that works ?

as far as I know the convertor in bbpress works

dashboard>tools>forums>import forums

[Robin W]

you have total height constrained by

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum {
	border-top: 0;
	height: 90px;
}

so

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum {
	height: auto !important;
}

[isuzu]

ok with important works

got other question is ther some plugin to migrate mybb to bbpress that works ?

[Robin W]

Line 4255 of your theme Pixiehuge has

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum li {
	height: 100%;
	display: flex;
	display: -webkit-flex;
	flex-direction: column;
	-webkit-flex-direction: column;
	justify-content: center;
	-webkit-justify-content: center;
}

The height : 100% is the issue

You need to put

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum li {
	height: auto;
}

or

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum li {
	height: auto !important;
}

(Try without the !important first)

into your theme’s custom css, or the custom css part of my bbp style pack plugin

possibly

New Users Auto Subscribe to One Forum

[Robin W]

it’s caused by

#bbpress-forums .reply {
  margin-left: 0 !important;
  width: auto !important;
}

which says it is inline code.

The width: auto !important needs to be width :100% !important.

Auto makes it only as wide as it needs to be, so for short sentences it truncates.

But I’m also getting an error saying that your “sydney-child-theme/style.css could not be loaded”

I installed bbPress on the Besocial theme but I am finding it difficult to locate “Create New Topic” on the Forum page.

I can only see Topics Started, Replies Created, Favorites, and Subscriptions but could not find “Create New Topic” on the Forum page. I need a help on this.

[Robin W]

ok, something is preventing this.

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

I want it to be this way.

My Forums
and
bbpress Forums

[patobaresi]

Hi. I am willing to insert a bbpress forum in my wordpress themed site, i’m also using Divi as builder interface.
The page in which i want to add the forum is http://www.doomtrooper.it/forum
The home page of the forum is fine, but the problem is : when i click on any of the forum links, the site opens up a new “template” page, in which there is obviously no background, no image, no personalisation, etc…
How can i force bbpress to open up links in the same page? i mean…something like iframe or whatever…i need to “embed” all the forum in the http://www.doomtrooper.it/forum page in order to maintain styles.
I’m asking for the easiest/better solution.
Thanks.

I finally figured it out. No need to use the “Full Page Width” option or any other techniques found about the web. If you installed a bbPress forum and everything is set to its defaults. Just use the following…

Select “Customize”
Select “Additional CSS”
Add/Paste the following…

.bbpress #content-sidebar {      
display: none;
}

#bbpress-forums {
  margin-left: auto !important;
  margin-right: auto !important;
  width: 170% !important;
}

Forum link in first post is incorrect now. A redirect is being setup though as that is my old link to another forum I use to use. New forum link is, http://www.posemotion.com/forums

[posemotion]

I’m starting to get it. I didn’t realize some people were creating a bbpress.php file. Anyways, it seems to work until I click on a topic. Then the right menu comes back. Any thoughts?

The first forum page uses the full width option. I don’t know how to set that for sub-forum pages?

Thanks!

[tylertervooren]

I’ll start by saying I have no idea what I’m doing and I can barely write php better than a toddler.

I noticed that people have been asking for this (or something very similar to this) for years and it still isn’t part of core and no one’s written a plugin for it. I needed to figure it out on my own, so thought I’d finally make an attempt to contribute back to a platform that has given me so much.

bbPress Profile Link Shortcode

It doesn’t do anything fancy, but it does what it says. Hope you find it helpful!

Hi
I have WordPress Multisite. I registered the test user. I logged in and changed my password. I added a test topic on the bbpress forum. Then I could not enter my profile to edit it. Wrote something – no access. In the administration panel wrote: Site Role – Participant, Forum Role – Participant. I changed Site Role to Subscriber. This solved the problem. In my opinion should automatically register the user as Subscriber.

For the last couple years, I’ve been using the bbP Live Preview plugin in conjunction with the bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin for the forums located at http://www.nationalbraille.org/forums

In the post editor, users can type, then highlight their text and apply a braille font using a button in the Visual Editor options. Then, hitting “Preview” would allow a post preview box to appear below the editor that showed how the post would look before submitting.

Not everyone has been successful using it, but it always worked great for me up until now. I can’t get the function to work for me anymore. I’ve checked Javascript in my test browsers and everything is enabled. Any thoughts on what could be causing this function to break?

[posemotion]

The code tag doesn’t seem to work for me. I use MML data in code tags and it has been fine on other forums but seems to mess it up in bbPress. Would be nice for copy and paste options to for code tags. Here’s an example…

;[ Demo 3 | Copyright © 2015 | J. Baker ];

CH1Verse_1.s = "t12 w4 o3 \2 v40 l8 <dced> dcge4 l4 \1 <d1> r8 l8 \2 dg l4 \1 <d1> l8 \2 dge \1 <d1> \2 dcdrr v+ <<dd>> v- r"

CH2Verse_1.s = "t12 w4 o4 \1 v42 l8 >dcde< dcde#4 l4 >d1< l8 de l4 >f1 l8 ddfe1< dedfe dd r4"

Hi All,

I have been using cPanel now for just over a year and having used both Plesk & cPanel, it is a clear win for the cPanel team.

I am be no means a web developer, but I have taken a real liking to creating websites recently, after working in IT 10 years now, I wanted to try something different.

With that said, here is what I have come up with so far: https://onlineoctane.com/

Basically a car news site that myself and a group of mates update daily, with plans to monetise it in the future.

Apologies if this thread is not allowed, please remove if so.

Also wondering if anyone can shed any light on the best methods to get traffic referrals to the site too? Any help / advise would be brilliant.

Also, if car news / reviews is your thing, maybe you could head over and check it out.

Cheers

[Robin W]

sorry, I can see no easy way to do this.

In essence the code above just calls some standard bbpress functions, and these won’t recognise that they have been called by the code, so adding content to then is not possible as far as I can see.

To do this would need some bespoke code

[Robin W]

can only think that you have a conflict

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

[Robin W]

I presume you are subscribed to the forums and topics that you are expecting them from – sorry, but 4 years on here and you always ask the obvious 🙂

If you have done ALL of the above, the I would set up https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ and see if that is sending, which would help reduce the issue further

then come back

[ToddB]

Yes I can confirm this.

That being said, I take the Forum page itself is the best place to issue the bbPress Index?

Hi all,

I am building a WP website in Italian and I have installed bbPress…

Now, I can change in WP setting the language to Italian (Settings->General->Site Language), but when I use bbPress short code they are still in English…

Sorry if it is a silly question, but I dont know hwo to fix it…

For example, the short code [bbp-register] it gives me “register” instead of “registrati”…

any suggestion?

Many thanks

Regards

[Robin W]

bbpress simply uses wordpress login, so if you get wordpress to understand that it is logged in , then bbpress will also.

Maybe one for a wordpress support forum

[Robin W]

bbpress only displays 2 levels, so when you click the 2nd level, you will get to see the lower down forums.

It is possible to code for lower levels, if you are happy with coding you’d be looking at

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

and some coding around bbp_list_forums()
to get a further loop

As for breadcrumb – yes by default you should have one , but themes can turn these off

[Robin W]

if you look at the black banner at the top with the menu, you can see text scroll behind it. bbpress thinks it is displaying the start of the reply at the top of the screen, but actually it is behind the banner
