if you are happy with css codes then

bbPress Styling Crib

Otherwise the bbp style pack will let you change it, and much else besides

Hi Joe,
I started using WP just recently and also am using twenty seventeen. I run into the same dilemma on how to make the pages a bit wider, especially the bbPress forums.
I am completely new to CSS coding but after scouring the forums for some solutions I found this:
1. In your dashboard click Appearance>Edit CSS
2. At the end of what’s there, on a new, line insert this code:

/* wider wrapper in large screens */

@media screen and (min-width: 48em) {
.wrap {
max-width: 1200px;
}
}

You can play with the number in front of “px” to see what fits your needs.
One caveat though is that it will widen all the pages in the theme and I don’t know how to apply this code to specific pages, and I’m sure there is a way.

The beauty of this theme is that you can put this code (or any) in the CSS editor and you see the result immediately, you don’t like it, delete the code no harm done.
Hopefully this helps.

cheers
Roman

Hi guys,
I have seen a couple of replies on this topic when google searching. However, i simply must have sub topics on a particular website forum that im building…subforums will not work.

My topic and subtopics are

Fertility> Male Infertility
………>Female Infertility

(please note there are a number of other topics, however these are just the two that need to be nested in this way)

Can someone walk me through how this can be done with bbpress?

kind regards
Adam

Thanks Robkk! This worked perfectly for me 🙂

Hello.

Is there anyway we can replace search button bbpress to font awesome?

Thanks

[rnmartinez]

I am running a site with WP 4.6.3 and bbpress, as well as TinyMCEadvanced.

If I disabled tinyMCE advanced I can post with bold, italic etc.

If I enable tinyMCE advanced, all I get is HTML code like:
<span style=”color: #0000ff;”>Testing styling of forums posts.</span>

If I login in as admin this does not happen, as there is a small box which says You have the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.

How can I make it so that all users can use this? My main concern is adding different colour text.

[interactivebonnier]

following

(newest WP, newest polylang, newest bbpress) – same issue, polylang string translations works fine and are displayed in frontend where used, but bbpress content (forums, posts, comments) are all language-neutral, so same content are displayed in every “polylang-language-site”.

Does bbpress support multi-language at all, or do we miss some setting/plugin?

[corne.smit@gmail.com]

Good day

I have just insaled bbPress.
On the Lost Password page, the RESET PASSWORD button only becomes enabled when I TAB off the email field.
On the Register page, the REGISTER button only becomes enabled when I TAB off the Password field.

This doesn’t work for me.

1. How can I get the buttons to be enabled from th start?
2. Which plugin will facilitate a nice ACOUNT menu, such as on this form, where a user can do his account stuff?

[Barry]

2.6 (beta 2) is available for testing (if you haven’t already seen the announcement post) – so things are happening!

I’m trying to set up bbPress forum in additional language (Polish) using Polylang plugin.
I use WP v. 4.7.1, bbPress v. 2.5.12 and Polylang v. 2.
All the other parts of my site work fine except the bbPress forums, where English words are not translated. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong, here is a screen shot:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
I have a problem concerning Wishlist Member and group forums.
The custom post types forums, topics and replies are protected by Wishlist Member and the respective WLM levels are applied to them. Regarding general forums (bbPress) the pagination and protection works very well as expected but not in Buddypress group forums.

Unfortunately members can not access the second or any other than the first page of a group forum topic (in Buddypress groups). If a member (who has no admin rights) clicks on [2] or [->] of the pagination, they always get the first page displayed although the permalink is correct and the URL states that they are apperantly on page 2.

As soon as I deactivate wishlistmember, the pagination in the group forums works as expected and all pages of a topic can be accessed.

As group forum is a key feature in my closed community, I kindly request help to get this fixed. I already asked in the Buddypress Support forum for help, but they said that BuddyPress is not implicated. So here I am…

I tested it on a subdomain with Twenty sixteen and all plugins disabled except:
WordPress 4.7.1
bbPress 2.5.12
BuddyPress 2.7.4
WishList Member 2.91.3153

I know that Wishlist Member is a paid plugin and I already contacted their support. I just think, that this may not be solved by one party 🙂

I appriciate your afforts and any information I can pass to the WLM developers why this isn’t working as it should be.

Thank you very much

Philipp

Hello, are you aware of a plugin for displaying new posts (bbPress Unread Posts v2 for example), which will work efficiently with bbp private groups plugin? By efficiently I mean that it won’t show that some new topics have been written in hidden sub-forums, where one category or forum contains four sub-forums and the certain user has privileges to use only one of them. In such situation every time when some other user will publish a post in hidden sub-forum, mentioned “less privileged” user will see that some new posts have arrived.

@jon-fergus did you ever solve this? We’re having the same TinyMCE problem over here

[lijitimit]

This thread may help. I’m having a similar issue, however I’m only using TinyMCE. I tried @robkk ‘s reply.js file but I couldn’t get it working for me. Maybe It will steer you in the right direction?
PS I’m not using buddypress and I switched to a default theme to test without success.

EDIT: After posting this comment I read on through that thread and found the issues may be unrelated. Looks like he’s having the same problem.

Hi,

I have an old bbPress installation 1.0.2 that works fine, but, now, Chrome update 56 will start displaying security warnings for any page that submits passwords (or cc info) that isn’t https.

Now, I have my site all set up for https, but, when I make the whole site https, it screws up images, and other things.

I don’t need (want) to make all my pages https, if I don’t have to.

Is there a way to do this by editing certain files for login and registration?

[jiggyflyjoe]

Hello all,

I’ve been browsing around looking for some solutions to help me out with this situation but can’t seem to find any. I’ve switched my website AlmostEpic.net over to the beautiful Twenty Seventeen theme. I really like everything that the theme has accomplished except one small caveat: bbpress is now displaying <i>extremely</i> narrow!

I’ve tried the trick that includes going into bbpress.css and changing the float and width but it’s already set at 100%, which leads me to presume that it’s actually an issue with the theme and not bbpress. Can anyone assist me with finding a workaround for this? I’d really like for my site’s forums to display full-width but everything else can pretty much be left alone.

Thank you in advance!

hello. Sorry, I will not make you happy.
I use the BBpress 2 years ago one and any more, so now I do not any any experiances in bbpress. My problem was just bad name of files with slovak language. WRONG: bbpress-sk-SK.mo . CORRECT: bbpress-sk_SK.mo.
I just did everything according https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ and repair those files and than was everything OK.

Hi Stephan,
I found this old post and hope you could still help me. I’m trying to set up bbPress forum in additional language (Polish) using Polylang plugin.
I use WP v. 4.7.1, bbPress v. 2.5.12 and Polylang v. 2.1

As you see in the picture all the English text is not translated.
Any help would be appreciated

Hello everyone,

Firstly, thanks for taking some time to read about the issues I am having.

1) The Profile Images are not aligned correctly, does anyone know a fix to this?

[ecodemy]

@yowangdu

It might be the problem, that the membership levels are not assigned to forums, topics or replies.
You should manually add the levels, maybe this solves your issue.

In case you don´t want to do that manually, try this plugin: wishlist-member-bbpress-protection

[Barry]

Hey Ludovic,

Quoting a bbPress Codex entry on forum visibility and accessibility:

Private – Only logged in registered users with a forum role can see these forums

With that in mind, so long as the user is logged in and has been assigned to a forum role (ie, participant) – which can be set directly if required via the edit-user admin screen (ie /wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=xyz) – then they ought to be able to access the private forum.

Does that help at all/am I misunderstanding?

[Md Sadiqur Rahman]

Hi @storyminded,
1)Most probably, your notification emails are going to spam, as it happened with me. You can use Easy WP SMTP to resolve this problem.
4) You can use buddypress to allow private messaging.
5) You have to activate search functionality from bbpress setting (Allow forum wide search).

[wetrady]

we have a problem in forum (bbpress) section. We have set in our dashboard number of topic and number of replies for page… but them doesn’t work in any way. We have set to open page with last post, but doesn’t work. You could see problem:

Strategia operativa 16/01 – 20/01 ’17

WE HAVE CONTACT CREATOR OF THE THEME BUT FOR HIM ISN’T A THEME PROBLEM.
Anyone could help us? Thanks

[ilovemetrics]

Hi,

The old Yahoo! Finance message boards used to allow users the ability to “hide” posts from other users (mostly to help deal with trolls).

I’ve searched high and low for any plugin for bbpress or buddypress that allows you to “block” users at the forum post level. Is anyone aware of this?

Thanks in advance

[Roed]

I just tried to disable ALL plugins but BBPress and set theme to a standard Twenty Seventeen. Still the same error. And when I do get a search result and move on to page 2 I will get the same error each time.
Link to site if anyone would have a look 🙂
