ok – where is the bbpress.php file – ie what directory?

[Robin W]

twentytwelve does not have a bbpress widgets sidebar as standard – do you know how you got this?

[caseynmiles]

I just took over a WP site that uses bbpress for the forums. I cannot figure out how to edit the text right above the list of forums that starts “All forums are reserved for…”

Here’s a link to the page:
cwshrc.org/resources/forums

Suggestions?

[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

Hello! You have created a forum with the bbpress pluguin and with the template WP Knowledge Base. I add the pluguin Login widget: Log In but the edit profile links, favorites and subscriptions do not work. The url is index.php / forums / user / admin / edit /.

Do you know what may be happening?

thank you very much

@JohnJamesJacoby

The problem is if you create a page with the same slug as your forum index and insert the forum index shortcode, this page will just be a page that happens to contain bbpress content. It isn’t a real bbpress page.

If you would like your index page (mysite.com) as your forum index how can you make that a real forum page? NOT just a page that contains bbpress content.

You can’t set your forum root index to nothing cause this will make default value (forums) to reappear. Of course you can 301 redirect /forums to index page. But as mentioned, this will display a page with forum content. NOT a real forum page.

Appreciate any kind of suggestions.

I’m new with the WordPress and building my first webpage. I have installed bbPress and bbPress WP Tweaks plugin and created Forum page. Forum appears on forum page, but login sidebar widget does not. bbPress sidebar area is showing on Widgets settings and I have added login widget to it. Still sidebar is not showing on Forum page. If I add login widget to main sidebar widget area, then login widget will show on every page. Why bbPress sidebar widget area is not working? Is this a bug? I have tried this with many WordPress themes with no luck.

I’m currently using WordPress 4.7.2 with Twenty Twelve theme and bbPress 2.5.12-6148.
My website is not yet public.

Hello Robin,

Thanks for the reply again.

I pasted the code in the additional Custom CSS section in WordPress, indeed I immediately noticed that page width was wider by about 1/5.

However, the “bbpress.php” template was… not affected ! 🙁

I tried copying the code in the style.css in the child theme previously created, but same thing no wide page again !

As I noticed since the beginning, ALL the site pages, I mean the one managed by this epoymous section in WordPress ARE affected by any additional CSS code, BUT NO page in the forum section with the “bbpress.page” Template are concerned by any modification !

It’s as if so long as there’s no modification on the bbpress.php code or it’s CSS, nothing could happen !

Yet, as mentioned earlier, in the child theme I’ve created, I added as explained in this forum : http://www.designbombs.com/master-twenty-seventeen-wordpress-theme/ , the following files :

1 style.css file
1 page-full-width.php
1 function.php

Was there any other operation I should have done ?

For instance, should I try something with the Bbpress-style-pack I’ve installed a few weeks ago for another purpose but that includes a CSS section ?

I don’t really understand what I’m supposed to do, the explanation is not quite clear to me !

It’s explained that it will create a “bspstyle.css” file but what will be the impact on the whole site as I just want to alter page width ONLY on the forum pages, the other pages have the adequate width !

Kind regards,

Philippe

How to display bbpress like other forum scripts?

ie in hierachical display ?

Top forum 1
-next level
–second level
Top forum 2
-next level
–second level
Top forum 3
-next level
–second level

but as links under the Top level ones,

[atonyk]

@venutius, I agree with that. It’s a headache for activity moderators. It would be great if the published activity was updated if the bbpress topic/reply is updated.

if it looks like a theme issue then try

bbpress wp4 fix

or

bbpress wp4 fix2

[Robin W]

yes it will get your admin back.

Any one? Please…

How do I create a custom index page that is actually a bbpress-page and NOT an ordinary wordpress page that happens to have bbpress-content in it?

The problem with the suggestion that Robin offers is that his own plugin (bbp style pack) won’t recognize the custom page as a bbpress page.

If I’m being stupid and missing something obvious please let me know.

Cheers!

[whitecedar]

Thanks Robin, If I do that, how will I get bbpress working again? Won’t that just deactivate the plugin?

[russ8523]

Url link ‘Insert/edit’ dialogue box is cropped too small/close – link entry boxes are too small and the submit buttons etc, are cropped off edge of dialogue box. doing F12 inspect items, I can find settings that correct this, but I can’t get them to stick! I’ve copied/pasted into Child-Theme CSS and bbpress CSS to no avail.

4.7.2 Multisite – forum in sub-dir site.

Would be very grateful for any advice.

[Md Sadiqur Rahman]

it is a right sidebar widget. I’m using both buddypress and bbpress.

Thank you for your interest @hardeepasrani

Hi Robin,

Don’t know where your’re in the progress of your tests, but I noticed that the “What the file” plugin I couldn’t see for more than a day just turned up today but on another profile I’ve created for my friend that will take care of the site once all the issues with the forum part are solved!

Really weird!?

Yet it doesn’t display in my admin profile !!!

Anyway, I could find out thanks to this plugin that this is the “page.php” template which is being used on the page listing all the forums and the “bbpress.php” for each forum !

Yet, when I select it through this plugin, changes I made on the model in the theme child I had created are present :

<div class=”wrap page-full-width“>
<div id=”primary” class=”content-area-wide“>
<main id=”main” class=”site-main” role=”main”>

<?php

But I guess this has more to do with Twenty seventeen subtleties or the CSS!!??

FYI, here’s the site I followed step by step in order to get this fuc… full width page to work properly and the closest to the theme Twenty seventeen :

Hi Wiisonca,

I used to have a lot of registration spammers, this plugin solved it for me:

https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-spamshield/

I haven’t had an occurence in over 6 months.

You can also go for the paid option, which also worked for me a couple of months before using wp-spamshield: https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/cleantalk-spam-protect/

As a side note, deactivating bbpress does not remove data.

[expat]

what the? Doesnt bbpress come with a default moderation tools?

[Tamas Rottenbacher]

Hi @fuskeren!

I don’t use bbPress style pack plugin.
The theme use that code for call the last active topic display:
<a rel="internal" href="<?php bbp_forum_last_reply_url(); ?>" title="Legutóbbi aktív téma: <?php bbp_forum_last_topic_title(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_last_topic_title(); ?></a>
and under that: (the second line, the time and user)

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>
<?php bbp_forum_freshness_link(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

I’m tried add that code:

    <?php
    	$forum_id  = bbp_get_forum_id( $forum_id );
		$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_active_id( $forum_id );
	?>
    <?php echo bbp_get_forum_last_reply_url( $forum_id ); ?><br />
	<?php echo bbp_get_forum_last_reply_title( $forum_id ); ?>

But that add “Comment:” or “Reply:” because that is the reply title, not the last active topic.

[wilsonca]

Yes, I’m using akismet but it doesn’t do any good for bbPress, unless there is a way to link it to the plugin that i don’t know about.

[Robin W]

best I can say is this plugin may help

Hi Aduronia,

I can advise you to follow this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/last-activity-linktopic-name-error/

Might be the same problem, if you don’t think so. Please write back

Hi –

I’m having a problem on a site I help maintain where, in the forums that are part of the groups, the only topic that will display is the first topic. However, the URL still reads as if it’s the correct topic – it’s just displaying the content of the first one on the page.

Example here: http://cgdating.staging.wpengine.com/groups/the-living-room/forum/

When you click on the top post about the “emotional UHaul cycle”, you get that thread. Great.
When you click on the next post, “I have an idea…”, you get the same UHaul thread, but the URL reads as if you should be in the correct thread.

We tried installing the beta for 3.6, that didn’t work.

Any ideas?

WP Version: 4.7.2
bbPress version: 2.5.12
