Hi,
You seem to be mixing ‘buddypress’ and ‘bbpress’. This forum is for bbPress questions.
I have the feeling your question is more related to BuddyPress, so maybe try on https://buddypress.org/support ?
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

If you have already deac­ti­ved all plugins except bbPress and swit­ched to a default theme and you still do not see ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’ and/or ‘Replies’, then please try this in Settings > Forums (check after every step if you find the options back on your dash­board):
– ‘Set­tings > Forums’ : (de)acti­vate ‘Ano­ny­mous post­ing’, save, (de)acti­vate it again to get back to your origi­nal setting, save
– ‘Set­tings > Forums’ : (de)acti­vate ‘Auto role’, save, (de)acti­vate it again to get back to your origi­nal setting, save
– Deac­ti­vate the bbPress plugin, then reac­tive the bbPress plugin
– ‘Tools > Forums > Repair Forums’ : Remap exis­ting users to default forum roles, click ‘Repair Items’ (WARNING: Make sure to have multiple admins in case the keymas­ter role would disap­pear from one account)

Pascal.

Hi all,

I’m a newbie with a site with latest BuddyPress and WP. I have BBPress plugin installed with only sitewide forums and I need admin approval for new users. I saw there are several plugins but it seems that each of them manage just WP or BBPress.

How I can prevent a user interacting with the whole site until he is approved by an admin?

e.g. I saw the BuddyPress Registration Options plugin blocks the user until approval only for the BP area of the site but the user have the role “subscriber” immediately.

Thank you in advance

Thank you in advance

Just changed my site to a twenty sixteen child theme, still see no problem.

Yeah, that’s what I want. But I’m completely lost now. No idea why this doesn’t work for me.

Are you sure there’s nothing else I need to do? Just copy the reply.js file into a folder called js under my child theme? And that’s it? I can’t understand why it wouldn’t work even when I created a brand-new subdomain, and did no other modifications: just installed wordpress, added bbpress, created bare child theme and added reply.js. What else could be interfering with this function!?

Yeah that’s it. I am lost how you are getting issues for this still. There shouldn’t be an issue with this and default themes.

Only issue I have ever come across regarding issues with threaded replies is while using the Divi theme, some custom scripts in the theme has issues with it for some reason.

I also tested a topic without a forum like what you have on your test site for the heck of it, and I still have not run into issues.

Here is my custom twenty sixteen child theme that you can use and test yourself.

Ok, this is very unusual, but after a lot of testing it seems that @mentions do not get linked when there are spaces in front of the @mention in multiples of 2.

The autosuggest feature works fine when typing the post. The @mention links correctly when looking at the users buddypress activity feed, but the end result in the forum post is a plain text @mention IF there is 2, 4, 6, 8, … spaces in from of the @mention.

If someone has a solution to this that would be great, but I would settle for someone pointing me to the function that converts the @mention to linked text after database retrieval.

I tried also simply using twentysixteen theme and adding reply.js to the existing js folder (in case there was some issue with using a child theme) and this didn’t work either.

Hello.

I’ve had the plugin, Yet Another Star Rating installed on my blog for quite a while now. Today I decided to install bbpress. Normally, once bbpress is installed, it creates new options in the dashboard menu (Forums, Subjects…). My problem is, when the “Yet Another Star Rating” plugin is activated, the bbpress menu items disappear from the dashboard menu (Forums, Subjects,…).

Can you give any advice on how to have both plugins installed and working?

[primarypanda]

Hey!

I’m almost done with my online community. Everything works except one thing. I have a forum (bbpress), but would like a second page on my website with a completely different forum (for another purpose). Is this possible somehow? Can I perhaps install bbpress a second time, and if so, how do I do this? I don’t want the visitors to have to sign up again though! 🙂

Best regards,
Anton Ljungberg

Yeah sure test it out on this site that I will probably delete later.

Hello,

I have several Group forums and each of the forums has 5-6 moderators. However when there is a new question in the forums none of the moderator receive notification that there is a new question.

I also installed bbPress Notify plugin v0.2.2. My BuddyPress version is 2.5.10.

Thank you.
Elly

[Robin W]

ok, I think the first is your theme, but try adding this to the custom css

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-content, #bbpress-forums p.bbp-reply-content {
    color: #1e73be !important;
}

and also add this for the Reply to :

.entry-content fieldset legend {
    color: #fff !important;
    }

Hi all,

I have recently made my website https, since then my bbpress has been playing up. The problem I have is;

Forums can be accessed by admin, but the forums are not. When a subscriber tries to access a forum, it gives “Page not found” message on page tab and “No Results Found” in the page.

Any comment appreciated.

Cheers

[james8181]

Hi robin,

2 areas that will not style with the plugin:

Topic replying styling tab
6. Topic/Reply Text Font
(the actual text in all the content areas – what users have written)

I have set this to black but it stays as white. it is inheriting this p from my theme, but i need it white elsewhere. Anyway to target this only within bbpress?

Also, when replying to a topic, there is no where to style the label above the form, the bit that says “Reply To: (topic name)” I need this to be white. Do you know the css for this bit?

I think after these 2 things it is looking pretty good for me.
Thanks

Hi,

Im having issues displaying breadcrumbs for my forum. Im also using Avada. Its my first time setting up bbpress. Im trying to style it aswell using bbp style pack but it does not seem to work. How did you manage to style your forum?

[Stephen Edgar]

@abdurhman This has been added to bbPress 2.6 and will be released soon.

In bbPress 2.6 you can have forum moderators for single forums, moderators do not have to have access to all the forums on your site

[james8181]

Hi Robin,

I have been trying to persevere with this but i am having problems styling this still. I used the parts from the codex to style the background as below, and that is working nicely.

/*1 Forum Header and Footer*/
/*2 Reply header*/
/*3. Template notice info*/
(also manually changed the background color of the reply form)

Everything past that up to 8 does not take effect. I would like to just have all of the text in the forum as black as it is currently white on white. My theme settings for text are set to black so i am not sure why it does not inherit this.

I have tried manually changing each element on there but nothing takes effect (tried prefixing them all with #bbpress-forums like your snippets too). IF you could spare a moment could you take a look at the page (I’ve changed it to show when not logged in) and advise me on what i am doing wrong. Below are all of the areas of text i need as black which i am just appending with { color:#000000;}

A) On the list of all forums page:

bbp-forum-info
bbp-forum-topic-count
bbp-forum-reply-count
bbp-forum-freshness

B) on any topic page with create a new topic option:

bbp-forum-description
bbp-topic-permalink
bbp-author-name
bbp-topic-freshness

(The following bit of text are just showing as “label” in chrome inspect so not sure how to target them)
Topic Title (Maximum Length: 80):
Notify me of follow-up replies via email
Attachments:
No file chosen

C) within a topic with reply option

bbp-reply-content
bbp-topic-description

(The following bit of text are just showing as “label” in chrome inspect so not sure how to target them)
Topic Title (Maximum Length: 80):
Notify me of follow-up replies via email
Attachments:
No file chosen

2)

I have noticed a seperate issue:

http://clashingbeavers.com/beaver-forums/
If i enter any forum and then navigate back by clicking on the Home > Forums link within bbpress UI it will take me to a diffrerent url

http://clashingbeavers.com/forums/

and this one looks different. How to stop it taking users to this other url?

Sorry this went on a bit and your advice is much appreciated!
Many thanks

[james8181]

Actually, i will just use change the css using this very informative article:

bbPress Styling Crib

I was being lazy not to have done this originally!
cheers!

[Robin W]

Ok i think the issue is … to much subcategory …

I hope BBPress will be optimized in the futur

Hello,

When any user posts in any forum the following error messages appear, however the message DOES actually post. Anyone know what is causing this problem? and how to fix it. I am not a programmer so the code does not mean much to me

Thanks for you help

[payges]

Oh ok, thanks for that

If i decide not use the bbpress private groups plugin and keep the forums to private would that keep the forums/user info private?

[payges]

Hi,

Hoping someone can help. I want a private forum which only logged in users can access. I have also installed bbpress private groups to set up groups of users for particular forums.
The forums have been set to private and the groups plugin has allowed me to create groups and manage access to forums based on these groups.

What is concerning however is that google is returning search replies of the url:
http://www.mysite/forums/user/useremailaddress/
I can then access their profile; topics; replies and favorites…

This is a HUGE problem for my users.

How do i go about restricting this as I have obviously incorrectly assumed this would be covered with the steps I have already taken

Many thanks.
