Hello,

I created a custom page for my bbpress forum index.

I called it “/forums” (“forums” also my forums root slug).

However, I can’t seem to customize the page in anyway with my sites page template.

If I change the page’s permalink to something else (ex: “/forums2”), I’m able to customize it.

What am I doing wrong here?

Hi, I have a question about copyright. Is the code in the support forums free to use on my commercial site? Is there a license for this code?

Also, is the code on this page free to use as well for my commercial site as I am not completely sure? Page: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/

Thanks,
David

The BBpress pages, like the topics pages that show the avatar & user’s name on the right hand side are inline

not sure from this description that I know exactly what you are referring to. Can we have a link or picture with arrows

Hi,
Activity streams is a BuddyPress item, we cannot help you with that here on bbPress. Please try to ask in buddypress.org/support

Hi,
If it works fine in standard Twenty Seventeen, then you should probably ask the support for your theme for help. The problem does not seem to be in bbPress but with your theme.

Hi, this is bbPress forum. As you seem to work with BuddyPress, your question might be better on buddypress.org/support ?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, did you try to import in bbPress 2.6-beta 2 from https://bbpress.org/download/ ? The 2.6 has advanced import features.

Is there an option to have first topic of new user as draft (i.e. let them submit – but won’t be published automatically? Otherwise it gets too spammy from manual spammers.

Please let me know if anyone has solved this.

An option like this exists for comments – so I am hoping the same can be replicated in bbpress.

How do you display name beneath avatar?

The BBpress pages, like the topics pages that show the avatar & user’s name on the right hand side are inline. On devices, this goes off page (despite having a very responsive website -excluding this plugin that doesn’t appear to be much so).

This quick-fix (I guess), is to simply display the names below the avatars as its the only thing that doesn’t clear.

Many thanks,

Kristian

Hi there,

bbpress has worked on my site perfectly for over a year but now, The Forum takes you Blank pages but all the entire forum can still be seen and accessed by the right-side widgets.

What’s causing that and how do I get my forum back on the main screen?

Thank you.

Please see my site for what is happening:

Just an FYI on this that I found out. I have a new install of WordPress 4.7.3 and bbPress 2.5.12 and I had the same issue. I was running PHP 7.1 and I got this same error. I dropped it to 5.6 and it worked. It also seems to work with PHP 7.

Maybe some plugin conflict with bbpress, try to deactivate other plugin and see the error..

Is there a way to remove the bbPress menu from the toolbar? I’ve been looking for this, too.

[seoguru]

When users enter their topic in my bbpress forum, they have the option to fill out tags as well. Since my forum is running for several years now, a lot of tags have been created. They all result in their own tag-page. Several topics are basically one and the same (for example <h1> and h1).

Therefore I’m looking for a way (preferably via a plugin) to let the user choose from the list of existing tags, while typing their tag. Some sort of autocomplete or suggest function. When they can’t find the appropriate tag, they should be able to fill out their own, new tag.

Are their any suggestions or people having experience with this?

Thanks!

My search results don’t show the topic name…

When the keyword is found in a topic, the search result shows the forum name and the topic description (no topic name).

When the keyword is found in a reply, the search result shows just the reply and who wrote it. No forum, no topic. So, there’s no context. You can link via topic # in the upper right corner, but that’s not very user-friendly.

Is this wacky display because of my theme? I’m using Razor. I have the latest bbPress. Can I change the code to display the search results similar to how you do it here on this support site, where it says “in reply to <topic name>”? If so, where can I do that?

Thank you in advance for your help. 🙂

The site you linked to appears to be running MyBB 1.4.x. The importer only works on MyBB 1.6.x and 1.8.x. You would need to upgrade to one of those versions, first, before the bbPress importer will work.

Hi, i use buddypress with bbpress on my forums site, there is no comments option on the activity stream. users have to click on the topic to be able to comment.

Please is there anyway users can comment from the activity stream?

Thanks

Hi,

I found a couple similar posts but nothing recent. When my users subscribe to a topic, they get emails when someone else posts in the topic. But when they are subscribed to a forum, and a new topic is created, no email is sent.

I’m not sure even where to start looking. Anyone else have this problem and a fix?

Thanks,

Jeff

We have tried many plugins on our website which uses bbPress forum some produce incomplete pdf’s of the normal pages but none produce pdf’s of the forum pages. We simply want to be able to create a pdf of the page as we see it formatted on the screen. Is this possible?

WordPress 4.7.3 running Klein theme.
bbPress 2.5.12-6148.

Home Version 1

Many thanks.

I view this from the opposite direction @ljmac, bbPress is one of the leading, if not forerunner plugin on pushing the boundaries of WordPress’ user roles, the changes WordPress made benefit bbPress greatly. It also wasn’t an easy decision to make, we’d wanted a couple of changes in WordPress for a few years now, now we got a change that we wanted, we just had to make the decision as to if we should break back compatibility, and we concluded the pros outweighed the cons.

To answer your question though, yes bbPress 2.5.11 should work on WordPress 3.7

p.s. WordPress development has nothing to do with Automattic, Automatic host WordPress sites on WordPress.com. WordPress and WordPress.org is an open source project with many contributors world wide.

Sorry. I’ve been looking for this for hours now.
And right after posting this I found solution.

 <?php the_widget( 'BBP_Forums_Widget'); ?> 

And names for ready useable widgets can be found in bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

Hi there,

1. We have a parent forum with a bunch of child forums. I did check the “Allow forum wide search” box. On the main forum page, which is a regular WP page using the forum shortcode, the search bar is there. Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/Rv4EB6POOG But on all of the actual forums, including the parent forum, the search bar is not there. Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/byZD2Ua8h How do I make them show up?

I did deactivate all plugins but bbpress, but the issue was the same.

2. In each topic, there is the word “by”. Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/XVRBrBIiz
How do I make that go away? I am hesitant to do a display:none; in the CSS, because other parts of the site need that .entry-meta tag.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!
