Something weird is happening with the Forum Roles information in bbPress. The name, image, and role are out of alignment, image is too large, and each part (name, image, role) have a bullet point before them.

[mgilbrtsn1]

I’m new to bbpress and am having problems with the widgets. They don’t offer any sort of query or limiting options. I don’t want to have an incredibly large list on my page. I only wanna show about 10. maybe have a show more. Are there ways to do this? Is there a plugin for bbpress that has widgets that have this capability.

thx for any help.

Hello, first of all sorry for my English.
I have a wordpress site under construction with bbpress, budypress and gamipress linked.
I have several questions, so I put them in different topics. Here is this query:
I have an achievement system set up on the website for completing actions, tasks, etc.
Could the achievements achieved by users be seen in the forum, for example under the avatar?
Greetings and thanks for the help.

Would it be possible that when someone writes in the forum, the total number of messages they have written in the forum appears? In other forums I have seen it under the user’s avatar.
It would be something like what I attached in the link.

At the time of writing a topic or answer, could the writing bar where the bold, italics, etc. appear, be changed?
I would like it to be like that of many forums where by simply clicking on the chosen button, the action is executed and the labels of said action do not appear.
It would be something like what I attached in the link.

No, it’s a WP 6.3.1 site I built specifically to test BBPress. It’s mostly just Elementor and Astra (Pros), the Classic Editor, Simple Custom CSS and JS PRO and BBPress. It’s behavior I haven’t seen with CSS overrides in WordPress before.

As you can see, the class specifies Roboto for the breadcrumb but it’s showing a serif font, even in the sample rollover in Inspector’s Styles window. The class works fine from the parent page but not in /forums/topic/

[Steve Manes]

One thing I noticed as I was using CSS to re-style BBPress is that the CSS classes don’t carry over to individual discussions. That is, if I create a bunch of class overrides for the main page, in my test case /alpha-site, they go away under /forums/topic/. In Inspector it looks like the page defaults back to bbpress.min.css, overriding those class overrides.

Any way around this?

bbp style pack

will let you style bbpress, and has integration for the Astra theme

[Steve Manes]

I’m confused. Does BBPress get its CSS and template support from the active WordPress theme or are there optional plug-in themes one can install that only apply to styling your BBPress implementation?

I’ve been asked to add forums to an existing Elementor-built site running the Astra Pro theme which apparently has no support for BBPress. Because the web site is already built, approved by the bosses and currently live I can’t change the WordPress theme. But the default styling in BBPress doesn’t work for them either (we have an approved font family, size, color, etc too).

I’m fairly adept with CSS and WordPress but I’d rather use a design by someone who actually knows the software. That, and I’m a bit graphically challenged.

I noticed that there’s a dropdown for “Forum Theme Packages” in Forum settings and was hoping that such BBPress-specific child theme plug-ins exist which allow WordPress to use another parent theme. Do such plug-ins exist and is there a repository of them somewhere on the net?

I use bbpress in Japanese.

In the bbpress search window, if you search for two or more words with double-byte spaces, no search results will appear.

I tried replacing half-width with full-width, and it worked in the wordpress search window, but not in the bbpress search window.

advice please.
thank you.

function empty_search( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search && ! $query->is_admin ) {
    $s = $query->get( 's' );
    $s = str_replace('　',' ', $s );
    $query->set( 's', $s );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'empty_search' );

I have a bit of a mystery here, which I *think* involves an interaction between bbPress and BuddyPress. I’m going to put it out here, just in case anyone has any ideas. I have NOT tested this on a clean site with only bbPress and BuddyPress so it’s also possible that there’s some other interaction.

What’s happening is that BuddyPress notifications times look right with the exception of notifications for bbPress forum post/replies. Notifications for forum replies are offset by the site’s offset from UTC. So, for example, if the WordPress Timezone setting is “New York” (which is currently UTC-4) the a forum notification says “4 hours ago” immediately.

Any ideas?

Salve,
non riesco a mettere a schermo intero il forum in questione:
https://plant.ciellesrl.com/forum/linea-1/
Su desktop si vede centrato e troppo piccolo, vorrei fosse esteso per l’intera larghezza della pagina.
Tema:NiveauVersione: 1.0.6
Versione WP: 6.3
Versione bbPress: 2.6.9

Help, grazie in anticipo

I want to remove the moderation links that appear within a topic post.

I believe this is controlled by the following in bbpress/includes/topics/template.php. What edit would I do if this is the correct area to edit:

function bbp_get_topic_admin_links( $args = array() ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'id'     => bbp_get_topic_id(),
			'before' => '<span class="bbp-admin-links">',
			'after'  => '</span>',
			'sep'    => ' | ',
			'links'  => array()
		), 'get_topic_admin_links' );

		if ( empty( $r['links'] ) ) {
			$r['links'] = apply_filters( 'bbp_topic_admin_links', array(
				'edit'    => bbp_get_topic_edit_link   ( $r ),
				'merge'   => bbp_get_topic_merge_link  ( $r ),
				'close'   => bbp_get_topic_close_link  ( $r ),
				'stick'   => bbp_get_topic_stick_link  ( $r ),
				'trash'   => bbp_get_topic_trash_link  ( $r ),
				'spam'    => bbp_get_topic_spam_link   ( $r ),
				'approve' => bbp_get_topic_approve_link( $r ),
				'reply'   => bbp_get_topic_reply_link  ( $r )
			), $r['id'] );
		}

so that error usually means that something is looping.

so I’m presuming you are using the bbpress [bbp-login] or [bbp-register] or a bbpress widget – yes, if so which?

[Frederic Pilon]

Yeah it really worked, but there’s one huge problem, the plugin injects itself on every page of the site, not just the ones where bbpress is involved.

Is there a good way to curb that?

[Frederic Pilon]

So you are telling me that the theme we see here is not a default bbpress theme? You need something external to be able to do that sidebar?

[Robin W]

with bbpress active, I normally only let users see that profile.

You might want to disable the WordPress admin bar for ordinary users. There are a bunch of plugins that do this.

eg

Hide Admin Bar Based on User Roles

[Robin W]

no problem.

on no. 3 there is a bbpress profile and a wordpress profile. Other plugins may also add their own profile pages.

If it is not the bbpress profile page you want it to go to, then do come back, I can probably give you some code.

[newtech1]

Whoops we must have been posting at the same time. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Believe me I had to edit other bbpress files to make ACF plugin work. Again thank you!!!!!

[newtech1]

Thank you for the clarification of the analogy. Yes, that certainly makes sense, and I certainly would like to just use the car. BUT no one has been able to help me make ACF plugin to work on the frontend. ACF has me going to bbpress and bbpress has me going to ACF. (The code that is working great on the backend I have not been able to work on the front end. Spent hours upon hours trying to this.

What I do not understand is why an admin/moderator would ever want a topic to fall under the category of no forum. If nothing else I will figure out a way to just make it so the first option has no words so the poster sees it looks strange, and/or find a way to add additional text below it to tell them to choose the Fishing Report Forum. (I will be giving each new user an instruction pages but I can see many topics going into la la land.

Thanks for what you do at the kitchen table. I will deal with the train. 🙂

[Robin W]

because I am feeling in a good mood, I did a bit of searching.

There is a way, but you have to edit a bbpress file.

so go to

\bbpress\includes\admin\metaboxes.php

and remove line 445 which says

'show_none' => esc_html__( '— No forum —', 'bbpress' ),

and save it back

You will need to do this again if bbpress issues an update, but those are few and far between.

[Robin W]

bbpress is free software and has no dedicated support. The bbpress authors rarely visit the support site, and there is no way to contact them directly. That is the nature of free open software – you write it and put it out there, but with no warranty and no obligation to support.

[Robin W]

hmmm.. looks like you need a bbpress template in your theme.

so first you need to create a child theme – the ‘salient’ theme docs should tell you how to do this.

Then in your salient theme copy the ‘left-sidebar-page.php’ file you created into the child theme, and then rename it ‘bbpress.php’

That should mean that all bbpress pages use this template.

[eefkedigibitch]

Oh sorry Robin,
I thought you were part of bbpress.

Do you then maybe know if I can contact them directly?

[Robin W]

I would say that I am not a bbpress author, I just started using bbpress and got interested in improving how it looks and works.

I will try and find time to look at your other questions, but I do this in my spare time 🙂
