Try this:

#bbpress-forums div.odd blockquote, #bbpress-forums ul.odd blockquote {
background-color: #fff; }

Also, you should always try to only use !important as an absolute last resort.

Hope that helps

Hi, I am new to Vanilla Forums and have been assigned a migration project. I am finding little and conflicting information in Google searches. Can someone please let me know the best way to export all Vanilla Forums data and import into bbPress? Thank you!

I have added to a previous thread that has some of what you’re looking for but I have not been able to get it to work 100% yet… maybe you’ll have better success?

Search by user

[amitrwt]

I want to create a custom search with 3 input fields “search_query”, “author(optional)”, “date(optional)”. The search results will display topics,replies from a particular user if author box is not empty. What would be the best way to handle it..?
I’am using bbpress basic search function on my form as of now but it just display results with “search_query” is there is a way so that it will take “author” or “date” in account.

Make a child theme for your wordpress theme, copy the folder content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress into your child theme, edit the contents of that file as much as you need without affecting the actual plugin files.

it’s not a plugin, it becomes part of your actual theme, making your changes immune to updates for the most part.

[aravoth]

So, I can style an .odd and .even forum differently, in this case to give forums on the the forums front page alternating colors, This also works for topics in the same way. And it carries over into replies, were the lead reply will have background-color: #fff;, and the next reply will have background-color: #000;, for example. What I am trying to do now is change the color of the blockqoute within the forum reply, to be the opposite of what the reply background is.

so if….

#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: #000 !important;

}

then I would want something like…

#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd, blockquote {
background-color: #fff !important;

}

For some reason I can not get the blockqoute background to change, at least the way I want it too. For some reason it changes the blockquote background globally. I feel like I am missing a CSS class here somewhere. Can anyone give me a hint at what I’m missing?

Hi Christophe,
Hi anyone who might search for a way to moderate topics / forum posts before they get posted.
I have found a plugin for moderating bbPress posts which is free, very up to date and worked fine for me. Its name is “bbPress – Moderation Tools” and I found it in WP backend > Plugins > Add New > Search for “bbPress – Moderation Tools”
Here is a link to the plugin page:

bbPress – Moderation Tools

Important: After installing and activating the plugin you have to go to Settings > Forums, scroll down and configure your moderation settings.

You will get notified via email when a new post has to be moderated. Then login to backend, go to topics, in the right sidebar change the status of the topic from Pending to Open.

Have fun!
Matt

Hi Mieke (of: Hoi Mieke :)),

I know Jaws from a user point of view.
If you like I can have a look next Friday and see if the basics work with Jaws?
I will be visiting someone who uses Jaws and I have a website with some basic bbPress.

Let me know! (and we can talk Dutch if you like).

Hi,

I have an old Buddypress Legacy forum, I tried to import it into BBPress (with bbpress1 settings import). All topics and forums are well imported except users all converted as ANONYMOUS (except deleted users well converted with their old usernames ! Weird !)
I did this with last WP, last Buddypress and BBPress 2.6RC5.
I have deleted forums, and tried to reimport them, without success.

Did I miss something ?

[Robin W]

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

Hi

I have just installed (created) my first bbpress forum on a new site. I followed the guidelines and in the installation process used “method 2” which allows me to add some custom words to the forums page (I.E. to welcome visitors etc).

However, rather than people seeing the forum or a “nice” front page they see the below, which looks like an old style HTML bulleted list (it doesn’t copy properly into this box). When I click on the “Spark Forum” link (below) it then takes me to the proper forum page which looks great – my question is hw do I get this front page of the forum to look nice (I put this into the custom box as the instructions suggested: Welcome to the Spark Forum [bbp-forum-index])

Hi, I put all my functions into snippet, and the snippet works fine for me.

However, in order to solve the video problem, which shows only code in the front page, (yet, it shows at the backend without problem), I tried to put the above code into the snippet, the result is that all contents in the bbpress forum went disappeared.

Could anyone advise what to do next?

The video code is like below.

[video width="640" height="640" mp4="URL../wp-content/uploads/2017/10/video.mp4"][/video]

[M-323]

Im at a loss. I saw a video on Youtube saying once installed, you could pick a theme for your BBPress forum. I cannot find this.

2) my host setup a subdomain for me and a forum directory, however when I downloaded the plugin, it does not appear in this directory.

[Robin W]

it is a function within the next release which is I understand stable

Download

bbPress 2.6 Release Candidate 3

[ankitispace]

In my site I want to extra menu so I use “Fullwidth Menu Module” to add menu in pages by using divi builder of Divi Theme, But in bbPrress I don’t know how to add extra menu in all pages of this plugin.
So my problem is I want add a “Fullwidth Menu Module” to “bbpress” all bbPress pages at top. How can I add it in forum, topic, replies etc pages?

[wpweaver]

I don’t think there is a plugin or existing feature that does this.

I’m really surprised that this isn’t a common question, as it is a real huge issue that allows spammers a backdoor to register as a user to your site. Very bad. This code will redirect all login and password attempts to a static page on your site which can use the regular bbp login, register, and pass shortcodes.

You can use this custom code:

<?php
// intercept the Register and Lost your password? links from the standard WP login screen

define( 'REGISTRATION_URL', 'https://example.com/register');

	add_filter('register_url','custom_redirect_login_register');
	add_filter('lostpassword_url','custom_redirect_login_register');

	function custom_redirect_login_register($reg_url) {
		return home_url( REGISTRATION_URL );
	}

	/**
	 * Redirects visitors to <code>wp-login.php?action=register</code> to
	 * <code>site.com/registration-page-name</code>
	 */

	add_action( 'login_form_register', 'custom_catch_register' );
	function custom_catch_register()
	{
		wp_redirect( home_url( REGISTRATION_URL ) );
		exit();
	}

	/*
	 * intercept bbforum.me/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and
	 *           bbforum.me/wp-login.php?action=retrievepassword
	 *
	 */

	add_action( 'login_form_lostpassword', 'custom_filter_option' );
	add_action( 'login_form_retrievepassword', 'custom_filter_option' );
	/**
	 * Simple wrapper around a call to add_filter to make sure we only
	 * filter an option on the login page.
	 */
	function custom_filter_option()
	{
		wp_redirect( home_url( REGISTRATION_URL ) );
		exit();
	}
?>

There are articles on how do add custom code to your bbPress installation.

Note that this is an option provided with my plugin “Weaver for bbPress” which is a fully turn-key solution to creating a bbPress site. I have not created a stand alone version of this option yet.

hi Guys

In most forums software, there is the possibility,
to assign one or more users the role as moderator for a particular forum.
Is this also possible with bbPress?

(User 1 Mod for Forum 1 / User 2 Mod for Forum 2)

[Siam ลอตเตอรี่]

if above that div id maybe you can directly add that html/php code and don’t forget when you update bbpress.

[jack_tyler]

Hi Guys,

I am wondering if is there any existing feature on the BBPress to have a login, register, forgot password, email confirmation only in front-end? I know that there are [bbp-login], [bbp-register], and [bbp-lost-pass] short-codes that you can place in the page so that it will display on the front-end but the issue is when user enters an incorrect password or account, it will redirect to admin login. What I wanted is to stay always in the front-end. Or do you have any suggestion what plugin I can use that and compatible?

Thanks,
jack

[jack_tyler]

Hi @siamlottery,

Thank you for your response. What I want to do is to add a custom HTML/PHP above the <div id="bbpress-forums"> as you can see on this screenshot https://www.screencast.com/t/C1AiIkH6

Hi there
I know this is a very old post but I am also looking for conditionals to show a particular template layout. I have posted at the following link.

If someone could help me it would be appreciated.

Determining Theme Layout for bbPress

Regards
Mike

[aussiemike]

Hello
I am using the latest version of WP and bbPress with iThemese Builder theme.
Through the theme functions I am able to show all parts of the forum on a particular theme layout, apart from the forum index page when the breadcrumb ‘forums’ link is clicked. This takes me back to the main template layout which does not have the forum wigdets as required on all forum pages.
I also have the same issue with the search results.

I have tried the following code but as I am not overly familiar with bbPress conditionals it does not solve the problem. I believe what I am look for is the correct information to go into this line:
if ( is_bbpress() && in_category( ‘page’ ) )

// create view for forums
function custom_filter_category_layouts( $layout_id ) {
    if ( is_bbpress() && in_category( 'page' ) )
            return '599b46ad5fa63';

    return $layout_id;
}
add_filter( 'builder_filter_current_layout', 'custom_filter_category_layouts' );

Any advice appreciated.

Mike
