Appears to be a css issue, are you using any plugins to modify the appearance of bbPress ?

The following css should fix this

.bbp-body .hentry p a{
	color:#3f3f3f !important;
	
}

you could change the color for the link to one of your preference by modifying the color property.

If you are using wordpress version 4.7 and above, To add the css, in the WordPress dashboard navigate to:
Appearance>customize>Additional css

copy and paste the code and save changes.

Hi. I’m using bbpress 2.5.14 and bbp private groups 3.5.9. The theme is EduPress by WPZOOM. The site is private so I can’t share.

Links aren’t showing in forum posts. They might be white because you can locate them with the cursor. See screenshots.

@robin-w, @johnjamesjacoby

Thankyou very much for replying,

I am currently working on a solution, That was my initial observation aswell, regarding hard coded values. Users will be able to opt-in or opt-out by submitting a checkbox input field. I was hoping I could post back soon, once I had accomplished a (not so embarrassing) solution.

Thanking you again for your help, and for all your exceptionally amazing work with bbPress.

[mithrandir]

Yes that would be the best solution, depending on their support for theme customization. I have extracted(just for testing purposes) the CSS from there live demo site for ‘discoverypro’, and can confirm it is the cause of the bbPress styling issues.

Users names from under their profile pictures trail off the right side of the screens

fix:

.bbp-body .bbp-topic-meta .bbp-author-name{
	display:block;
}

when reading posts and replies within topics, all the users profile pics squash themselves all together at the top left hand-side of the screen.

*I cannot recreate this issue as it is specific to your website, however if you could provide a link to your forums/website it would be possible to fix the issue.

Hi,
Is there any way to convert all my bbpress topics and replied to WordPress posts and comments respectively
I have 1000 topics and I want to convert them with a plugin.
I installed this plugin https://github.com/jmdodd/bbpress-topic-post-converter but the option to convert does not come.
Please help.

I have had this wp theme for 3 years

I cant seem to see the name of the theme in your last reply, could you please include it again and ill have a look.

Also just wondering, If you open the bbpress dot org support forums does a similar alignment problem exist?

[Kristian Yngve]

Sure, here’s all that info:

I am using the very latest WordPress, I updated recently but unaware if the problem existed beforehand. I have had this wp theme for 3 years and I remember BBpress working well when I first installed it just over 2 years ago.

The only affected area is only within topic at the point of conversation threads. The issue happens when the screen is at iPhone6+ size and smaller when viewed on the portrait side.

All avatars shift to the top left-hand side of screen together as they all sit on top of each other. I have viewed this on the chrome and safari browser.

Any ideas upon what I can do to overcome this?

[mithrandir]

If you could provide more information regarding which WordPress theme you are using and any more specific areas in detail that are causing issues I could try my best to help out.

Many themes include there own styling which can interfere with bbPress styling, so it is best to take that into consideration before modifying the CSS.

As far as my experience goes, bbPress provides bare minimal styling, Personally I find this to be advantageous, in the case of adding your own styles to match your theme, one does not have to override too many complex styling rules. yet, I agree there is still room for improvement with default bbPress responsive styling.

[Kristian Yngve]

I’ve noticed there are some issues when the forums are displayed on handsets.

Users names from under their profile pictures trail off the right side of the screens, and worse still, when reading posts and replies within topics, all the users profile pics squash themselves all together at the top left hand-side of the screen.

** Note that if I rotate my handset to the landscape side, it all works great and no issues at all with the profile pictures going back to the normal places…

Everything else works great, just this little incompatibility. Any of you guys can suggest anything like a CSS rule that only targets this issue with the BBPress plugin to fix this?

Many many thanks all.

last version of WordPress 4.8 2 and bbpress 2.5.14

I have just installed bbpress on our website http://www.ceipa.eu

I have some question:

– how to remove the field “WEB” for “Anonymous” (guest users without account) ?
I found a similar question in other topic but this question (posted more than 5 months ago) did not receive any answer

– is a catalog or list of those Anonymous users existing ? not only for the users which have replied in a topic (or created one) but also for those who have placed a comment and/or answered to a comment on a post

– which is the best plug-in for “register” or “subscriber” to install to avoid the intervention of the admin (present methodology applied for members untel now) – our site was build with a pro version of the theme “Exibit”

many thanks in advance for your answers

We’ve changed the email address gathering & sending methods in bbPress 2.6 to try and accommodate bigger sets of users. You could try upgrading your forums to the latest 2.6 release candidate, and see if it makes a difference.

[richard.miller]

I was able to add a graphic that appears on every Forum page (“Secret Star Society), and I’d like to add the same one (with link back to the Forum home page) to User Profile pages.

I assume I have to edit a template, but can’t figure out which one!

WP 4.8.2
BBPress 2.5.13

[robbinwwok]

WP version: 4.8.2
bbPress version: 2.5.14
Website: courses.wisdomwayofknowing.org

Even working with an experienced developer, we are at a dead-end with trying to get working a function essential to our online courses (without ditching all of the plug-ins and having a platform built from the ground-up), that has to do with group registration of group leaders without the leaders having to pay for all of the seats for their students; those teachers (or admin) being able to set them up on the back-end as a group leader and then be able to assign anyone to them as a group leader; and the group leader/admin having the ability to set up private forums for each group leaders when they need a private forum. And, finally, that this same group leader will be able to have several ongoing but separate groups of students who will be taking the course with him/her.

I’ve also sent this query as a support ticket to WisdmLabs (the group registration plug-in we purchased that, at this point, doesn’t have the features we need), and LearnDash as the course platform.

What we need from this query: any possible solutions or help pinpointing where we need to look next. Any help/ideas you can provide will be GREATly appreciated. And time is important as we’ve already had queries for group registrations with the ability to host private forum discussions and we can’t help them until this issue is solved.

Here’s a list of functions/features we need and the issues we’ve encountered.
• Group leaders to be able to register singly (we want to offer the course to leaders at no cost or low cost), and then when their students register, to be able to assign the students to them as a group leader.
• Group leader to have the ability to create and moderate private discussion forums with their students. (They would have access to the general course forums that are visible to anyone who has registered for the course, but the leader, at his/her discretion, could create a private forum area for only those registered students whom they “allow” in.)
• Students to be able to register for a course as a single user (we can offer these users, who have indicated who their group leader is, a coupon code provided to the group leader to share with the students who will be taking the course with them). Currently, there is no way on the back-end to assign students who register singly to a particular group leader. And, there is no way currently for that group leader to set up private forums for their students.

The way the current group registration plug-in works we have installed (by WisdmLabs), the group leader has to purchase all of the “seats” both for themselves and for any student they want to register. Yet, NONE of the teachers who are currently interested in our first course are in a position to purchase on behalf of their students.

How can we allow teachers/group leaders to:
• register as any other single user would (or have a portal for this because someone has created a plug-in!)
• have us set up (or the group leader set up) that leader as a course group leader on the back-end
assign students who have registered using a distinctive coupon to a group leader
• allow group leaders (or admins) to create a private course forum for any group that they are leading?

What are we missing? Many thanks for any insight you can provide!

bbPress does not currently have such a feature, A similar topic is posted bellow:

Guest Notification

However you might be in luck since a plugin exists for this very purpose:

bbPress – Anonymous Subscriptions
By Stefano Ottolenghi

I can not post the link due to spam blocking.

As for the ‘anyone can register’ check box, Do you have administrative credentials? Also just wondering are you using a multi site?

[mychildis]

Hi,

I’ve just created first bbPress forum. when I write a post, I have this check box, but unregister visitors on the site can create new posts and comment existing posts, but there is no option for notify me via e-mail. There is no also the subscribe to forum option.
Visitors have to subscribe to my website in order to have this option?
I created another user using the /wp-signup.php/ but this user didn’t even have the option to comment or to create any post.
One last detail:
in my Dashboard > Settings > General. I could not find the ‘anyone can register’ check box.

I just want visitors to be able to comment & create posts, with option to get notify by mail for their comments.

Any help will be very appreciated!
Thanks

[mithrandir]

Dont mean to waste your time any further, but a quick google search using the keywords “bbpress edit redirect url”, will list a few results with a similar issue. Searching on the bbpress support also returns similar topics. Hope you can get it sorted out soon.

[sarwarc]

Hi there,

I am a newbie to wordpress. I am using bbPress for my site. I have an existing form that doesn’t have any approval process. I am manually adding the users after receiving the forms. I did some digging and found the “New User Approve” plugin. I went ahead and installed the plugin. But not sure how to link/connect the plugin to my form so that the new user registrations can be moderated (approve or deny). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[mithrandir]

I understand, just my two cents, it is most likely an issue with one of the plugins.

In the wordpress dashboard under settings > bbP private groups –> under the topic permissions tab try to disable topic permissions or change configuration in the plugin.

I can not replicate your issue as i have tested the smart magazine theme and bbpress is working just fine for me. I am not familiar with the bbP private groups plugin, but i have just tested it, and it is throwing some php errors for me. It might be a compatibility issue with the latest version of wordpress or bbpress.

I would recommend to start by disabling the bbP private groups plugin first and disable plugins one by one to trace the cause of the issue.

I’m sorry if i could not be much help, hope you can share your results , and perhaps someone else could offer a solution

[mithrandir]

The problem is most likely not specific to bbPress and is with your server settings or htacess. WordPress may not be able to generate or modify the .htaccess file for your website due to file permissions issues. It might help to delete the htaccess file, grant correct permissions and refresh permalinks which will generate a new htaccess file. Try to enable php error log in htaccess as well.

# enable PHP error logging
php_flag  log_errors on
php_value error_log  /path/to/htdocs/PHP_errors.log

Create a blank PHP_errors.log file in the directory specified in your .htaccess file and set its permissions to 777. Now refresh the page that’s giving the 500 error and check if that log file now contains an error(s).

In the WordPress dashboard under settings>forums –> under the Forum User Settings, you will see the option:

Disallow editing after x number of minutes

You could try increasing the limit, however it does not explain why the keymaster or administrator can not edit a reply or topic.

It might help in finding the problem by changing the theme to the default wordpress themes and disabling all plugins except bbPress.

If you could provide more information, regarding the bbPress/wordpress version, themes and plugins, I could try my best to help.
