Hey all,

I thought I’d post this here because I’m tearing my hair out and the only stuff I seem to be able to find is quite old so pertains to older versions.

I have a BBPress based forum set up at https://www.crispygeek.com/forums

Depending on who posts, the avatars can sometimes be a touch … gigantic shall we say. What I want to do is set the maximum size to, say, 48 pixels.

I’ve had some success finding a tag in style.css as part of my global theme. The problem is, this also messes up the images on my front page news feed. And while I am starting to get the hang of this, I’m still relatively noob when it comes to some parts, I’ve found some really old posts that suggest some changes, but they tend to confuse me as to exactly where I need to make these changes. I’m hoping someone is able to offer some guidance on what I need to do to get this going,.

Hi @senatorman , I think you’ve replied in the wrong topic (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-alpha-problem-importing-phpbb/page/2/#post-178123).

Just to follow up on your error: I’ve copied and pasted my queries from a Ms Word document and something got broken.
In fact you look at the single quotes in the queries they are all wrong (’ instead of ‘).

I have fixed the query for you and you can find the new version below:

Hi Simon,
Please check my response to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-disapeared-from-wp-admin/ and let me know if that helped or not.

@deeve007 – it’s doable, but you’ll need to do some coding.

The key file you want is

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php

so

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/user-details.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

you’ll see the tabs in this file.

Do come back with what you are trying to do if you need further help

Hi,
If you confirm that WordPress is correctly sending out emails for other WordPress tasks, then it’s most probably one of the other plugins blocking something. Did you try to deactivate plugins like bbPress – Private Replies, bbPress – Report Content and bbPress Protected Forums ?
Pascal.

[senatorman]

Thx @Giobby. A had already read your topic, and do as you told, but i keep this problem.

-The first topicpost has always the correct author
-The second ans all other posts in that topis has the anonymous as author.

This problem has nog every topic, some topics had for al posts the correct author.

Iám sure, there is a problem in the converting file, and it looks that this problem online exist by big phpbb forums

Please. BBpress team, can you look at this problem?

[ddennison2016]

I deactivated bbpress today, and the next thing all site is broke with HTTP code 500.
I tried to reset plugins, reset themes, checked for htaccess entries, nothing.
I put it back, no chance.

Class ‘BBP_Theme_Compat’ not found in /home/sites/pcforum.ro/public_html/wp-content/themes/pcf/functions_bb.php on line 32

Update – i fix it.
Found the code and remove it. Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

Check out the docs in the codex, this I think should help you get started:

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress shares WordPress’ users settings, you an see an example of it for your own bbPress.org and WordPress.org profiles here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/darrenbergman93/
https://profiles.wordpress.org/darrenbergman93/

When logging into bbPress it is just logging into WordPress with the same username and password so you should be good to go there also 🙂

Hello

I’m having difficulty using bbpress and woocommerce membership plugin together. I can create a forum, log in with a user that has participant permission and create a topic and content. once it is posted to the forum, the user is unable to view the content within the topic, in fact the original post is not visible. The Admin user is able to view all topics and comments.

Doesn’t seem to matter what permission settings I give the user, the content is not visible.

Anyone out there get woocommerce membership plugin and bbpress to work together?

[Stephen Edgar]

Hi if you’re still around would like to know how you changed Freshness to Last Post?

bbPress 2.6 will no longer use “Freshness”, the default is now “Last Post”

[Stephen Edgar]

You can do this by creating a child theme and editing the form-anonymous template, you can find details on doing this here https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

[fdecicco]

sorry,
the conflict is with a custom taxonomy named Topics, not a post type as I thought before.

It seems that I should be able to change the slug for bbPress but not sure how and where. The settings page does not do it.

[fdecicco]

i am trying to integrate bbPress on a site that has a custom post type of ‘topic’ and this seems to be preventing me from getting bbpress working. I cannot get to the topics page for any forums as the custom post type somehow redirects all the links.

Any idea of what I might be able to do to get around this issue. changing the topic post type that already exists is not an option at this point.

I already tried to change the bbPress settings but nothing seems to make a difference. I am totally out of ideas and things to try.

thank you.

[Dave]

This should be simple but haven’t been able to find info on how to do this.

I want to add a custom tab/link with content to the bbPress profile page (NOT using Buddypress at all), I’ve come across people saying it can be done, but no actual guide/info to how it can be done.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

[Robin W]

less shouty with the title, and a little bit of patience would be great !

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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

[ammii101]

Hey, so recently I set up a localhost server (WAMPSERVER) and installed WP and bbPress. I then tested out the sign up function and realised that the Password Confirmation email was not being sent; even after using different emails and providers.
I would appreciate some help in fixing the problem 🙂

[parker012]

Installed BBpress Forum plug in. cannot see it anywhere on my wordpress site. Any help would be great, John

[mod note: fixed title]

[lincelot]

I have updated WordPress but still have the same problem. When I change my admin roles I can briefly see the BBpress options in the wp menu. But after one click they disappear form the menu…

Seems like a bug to me or a malfunction with an other plugin?

[Ansif]

Hi,

Anyone, can you please let me know : How can i able to modify listing options in default bbpress templates?

I want to edit listing options in : bbpress/loop-topics.php

I referred this forum : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-list-of-topics-under-specific-forum/

But, not helped well.

Thanks! 🙂

I read through this forum because I am experiencing similar issues…(I am a keyholder). I am using both Buddypress and bbpress. I do not have programming knowledge or experience, I do not understand codex or php, I’m just looking for someone to hopefully assist me with a simple solution to these issues, so that when people sign up as users, their interactions are seamless and they are able to quickly find the information they are looking for.

1. When logged in as a user, I am not able to access forums without using the URL to the page. I used the “user roles and capabilities” plugin as recommended above, to change the user settings in the back end so I could view “private” posts and that sort of worked but I still have to use the URL to find the forum page. I have also run the tools for both Buddypress and bbpress. There are several links in the user profile area but they all seem to direct me to the user activities only…I cannot link to any of the content posted by other users through those links. (Same with the tool bar at the top of the page and all of the drop down menus).

2. I just created a topic to post under a forum. Under my keyholder account, I am able to see the topic when I click on it but when I try clicking on it as a user, it doesnt show up. It just tells me there is “0 replies, has 1 post, and last updated by me” and the topic is not there.

[Robkk]

On the theme’s product information page located on Themeforest it says it is.

It even has this listed in the other features area in their product description.

Custom bbpress styling + custom login system – you can now build a community with ease.

[jiujitsutoday]

I have the latest version of WP and I will be using this WP theme.

Should bbpress install and run ok?

[giobby]

I hope this helps you: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/import-phpbb-wrong-authors/
I had to write some custom queries to fix the wrong authors problems.
Can’t promise it’s going to work, but when I’ve run some counts on the tables during the process it looked that all the orphan posts were correctly reassigned to the wrong author.

Good luck!
