In setting up new forums on a new instance of my WordPress Multisite, when I create a new topic, the input area does not include a button to add an attachment. The only areas on the page are topic title, topic content, topic type, topic status, and submit. What am I missing that I should be doing?
Current versions of WordPress, bbPress, etc.

I had this problem once before but I can’t recall how it was fixed.

Hi, I seem to be having trouble with the Google Photos Embed plugin, but only within my BBPress forums which are locked down via Paid Membership Pro plugin. It is working fine on my public pages.

I have a long story with the troubleshooting steps in this Google Doc, only because it seems I can’t paste more than three links in this editor:

Troubleshooting (Google Doc)

I am at the end of my skills and knowledge trying to troubleshoot this, I would greatly appreciate some direction to re-instate the Google Photos Embed plugin functionality within BBPress.

Thanking you in advance,
Matt McLeod

I am trying the bbPress widgets “search” and “extended search”. Neither returns adequate results when entering a search term. Usually the results are blank (when I have seen the searched for text on my site).

Sometimes when re-entering the query on the blank search results page, I get a “500 Internal Server Error” page coming up after clicking “search”. I know this worked correctly in the past. What are some good methods to troubleshoot?

Hi,
can the import function also import the attachments from SMF 2.0.15 ?
Does it place it into the Media-Library or where ?
Do I need to have installed the GD bbPress Attachments
plugin, before I do the import from SMF ?
I just tried without it and it seems it did not import
any attachments…
Or are the attachments at least somehow linked into the WordPress Database ?

Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.

Hi @brent0r
I made the following adjustment in my child-theme´s loop-single-forum.php and styled with CSS.
This code will place all elements in the right order to have simple CSS adjustments make it all work as expected.

<?php

/**
 * Forums Loop - Single Forum
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * Theme OrganicSquare
 * Child-theme of TwentySixteen
 */

?>

<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" <?php bbp_forum_class(); ?>>

<li class="bbp-forum-info">
	<div class="forumtitle">
		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_title' ); ?>

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php bbp_forum_title(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_title' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_sub_forums' ); ?>

		<div class="bbp-forum-content"><?php bbp_forum_content(); ?></div>
		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_sub_forums' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_description' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_description' ); ?>

		<div class="topic-reply-counts">Posts: <span class="ismcounter"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_forum_reply_count() : bbp_forum_post_count(); ?></span></div>
	</li>

<li class="bbp-topic-freshness mob-hide-link-forum">
	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

	<div class="freshness-author"><span class="fresh-avatar"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'type' => 'avatar', 'size' => '40' ) ); ?></span>

	<div class="fresh"><h2><a href=" <?php bbp_forum_last_reply_url(); ?>" class="forumpostlink"><?php bbp_forum_last_reply_title(); ?></a></h2>

try

MyBB 1.8 to bbpress

[isuzu]

now it works perfect tnx a lot Robin

Now i need to find way to migrate users from mybb to bbpress

[cclemens]

Hi Robin.

I don’t believe there’s any setup involved. I’m not a developer and didn’t install it on our site. I’m just trying to figure out why it stopped working.

The functionality of the plugin should allow someone to hit the “preview” button, and below the text editor, a preview window of what the post will look like when it’s published appears. It used to work great, but now, the pop-up no longer appears.

I just came here hoping that someone else who used this plugin on their bbPress forum had a solution.

[Robin W]

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

[Robin W]

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”

[drphilip002]

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

[finerdev]

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.

[posemotion]

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!

[Krzysztof]

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.

[cclemens]

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?
