your theme is doing extensive bbpress changes.

It has a file at

https://enviroforum.net/website/wp-content/themes/enviroforum/lib/css/bbpress.css?ver=456a73969e36e761f6215426bf37ff30

which is turning off and on all sorts of things.

Sorry, but I can only suggest you contact the theme author to see if he can help

Hi all,
We have set a few rules to moderate topics with too many links, etc. We also have new topic notifications set up and working when topics don’t go to moderation. However, if a topic goes to moderation, the new topic notification does not go out when the topic is approved. Is that normal? If so, is there any way to hook the new topic notifications into the approval process so that the notifications are sent out when the topic is approved?

Thanks for any help with this!

Hello,

I just want to import my phpBB forum (version 3.2.0) to BBpress. I tried with “tools/import” but it doesn’t work. The tools didn’t import a single forum or topic.

How can I do this?

Another question : how can I increase the size of the font in BBpress? I would have the same size as this forum, on wordpress.org. The original size is really too small.

Thanks a lot.

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.

Otherwise/additionally talk to your hosting provider

Hello all, I have been searching for a solution and it appears that the bbpress install does not automatically add topic structure like this example:

import old Buddypress forum : users = ANONYMOUS

NOTE: “/forums/topic/import-old-buddypress-forum-users-anonymous/”

On my bbpress install topics structure looks like this:

“/topic/test/” – where “test” is the topic title

I wish to include the forums structure like the bbpress.org forums does.

I have searched and searched and let me to result in making a post. Does bbpress not include this automatically like they have on their forums?

Thank you kindly,
J.

Hi, I’m having a problem with my bbpress 2.5.14 forum. When connected as an administrator I have the links to edit, spam, strash,…
I can edit posts, but clicking trash or spam does nothing : the link seems OK (somthing like /forums/topic/subject/?view=all&action=bbp_toggle_reply_trash&sub_action=trash&reply_id=2601&_wpnonce=e3eb42b7d4) but just brings back to the same page and the answer stays there.
When I go to WP admin the answer is still published. I tried moving an answer to trash from the admin, it works and on the forum page it states that there is an hidden answer (as it should) but the link on this message (/?view=all) doesn’t show the hidden post.
Also in admin when I go to the trash and try to reactivate the answer I come to a page asking if I am sure I want to do this but it does noting. The only way I found is to use the batch action.
(I’m on a french version so some terms might be wrong, but I hope you undestand my problem).
Has anyone encountered that problem ?

[Caprilli]

I have the same thing.

I just don’t think this bbPress / BuddyPress stuff integrates well enough to be let loose on an active site with 5,000 daily visitors.

It’s a developer tool and starting point. A developer would reap the fees of getting it all to work well, while single users of WordPress just have the misery.

It is shocking how bad this forum aspect of WordPress is. Amazing that consumers put up with it, really.

I’m trying to search topics with particular tags and I’m using get_the_tags($id) where $id is topic id ofcourse. But it returns empty array even though the topic has tags associated to it.? What is the native bbpress function for this if there is any.?

[zooeydog]

Do you know how to get a notification in your profile, AFTER the reply or topic is moderated? Right now I get notified BEFORE it get moderated. Does this plugin do that? I am currently using the 4 year old one! bbPress Moderation.

[Robin W]

you don’t; move, you duplicate and then change

so the original file sits in

/yorkregiontutoring/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

and you copy this to

wp-content/themes/[your-theme]/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

and then make changes

bbpress will look at this new file as being the active one

[PrancingHorse]

Hello,

Is this still a valid solution? I noticed that the location of this file has since moved

from: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/content-archive-forum.php

to: /yorkregiontutoring/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

Where would I move the file now? And is it a permanent move and not just a copy?

Thank you.

[vinnysud]

OK, I found the “at” parameter which was controlled by the bbpress style pack plugin.
Still investigating for the “by”

[deanljbirch]

Hey all,

Within the bbPress on my site I have an announcements forum.

I need this forum to allow new topics from admins & moderators only but allow participants to reply.

Participants must be able to create topics in other forums though.

bbPress Toolkit was advised however, this is causing a conflict with the theme styling so I need to look at other avenues.

Any advice

[abelw]

Hi

I am using a the recent topics bbpress widget that shows that last 5 topics in the forum to every logged-in user.

Is it possible to prevent closed topics from showing up in the list? Or is that a feature request?

Cheers

I uased method 2 when installing bbPress and use [bbp-forum-index] as my front page. That is the only forum page I would like to appear in google search results. I tried 10 different ways in my robots.txt fils and can’t get i right. I have no hidden forums. the yoast seo plug is too big for my small sites.

No Labels Community Forums

Thank you for your time.

I use bbPress 2.5.14 on latest WP.
I have enabled TinyMCE with this code:

add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
	$args['tinymce'] = true;
	$args['quicktags'] = false;
    return $args;
}

It works well when a user posts a new topic.
But when a user wants to reply to a topic, the tinyMCE editor is displayed but is not editable.
I can’t see any error in the browser console.
Please advise.

[Peter Hardy-vanDoorn]

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

We aim to make bbPress bbPress as accessible as possible, if some #a11y feature doesn’t work as expected let us know and we’ll work it resolving it 🙂

Vanilla

[Constant Concepts]

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!

[sbmar]

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.
