bbPress queues up its CSS stylelsheet using WordPress’ standard functions wp_enque_stylesheet() so it shouldnn’t cause any issues.
I’ve never tried Redhat’s Openshift, nor even knew it was a thing until now.
Do they use a “standard” copy of WordPress or is it modified somehow?
What versions of WordPress and bbPress are you having this issue with?
Hello,
I’m looking for a forum software for my site, but none on the market seems to be satisfying!
It seems forum software has peaked with vBulletin 3.6, 12 or more years ago! How come nothing seems to beat a piece of software that is 12 years old?! Many of the top forums that use vBulletin 3.6 don’t want to upgrade, simply because there isn’t anything better, anywhere.
(here is an example of typical vB 3.6 forum: http://paganforum.de)
My question/suggestion: Why can’t BBPress (or anyone else for that matter) match the design and functionalities and design of vBulletin of 12 years ago?
BBPress should do whatever it takes to reach that level, then we will be ready to pay!! There is a huge need out for a modern forum software! Plenty of people are stuck with their vB 3.6, simply because there isn’t anything better…
But from all the demos I have seen, the current BBPress interface looks and feels more like a Helpdesk support system than an actual forum…
Could someone please direct me to a version/skin/addon of BBPress that looks most similar to a vB 3.6 forum? Thank you!
Redhat’s Openshift has a nice WordPress option which was how I found bbPress. However, I am seeing that when deployed on openshift, the URL that the page ends up using to obtain the default bbPress theme data seems to be looking in the wrong spot.
The root page is looking at mydomain/var/lib/openshift/longHexKey/app-root/data/plugins …
This yields a 404 for the bbpress.css file and editor.js.
whereas if I change that to mydomain/wp-content/plugins …
The file comes back correctly.
I’m just starting to get things going here with this stack so I’m not sure if this is a bbPress thing, a WordPress thing, or an OpenShift thing, but other plugins seem to be doing it ok. Is there a straightforward edit I can make to the bbPress files?
Hi there,
i want to download plugins for bbpress1.1 or lower. i have bbpress stand-alone version installed and need plugins for that please send me some links to download or if i can find them in a single file it will be great.
I have been commenting out the error that disallows duplicate posts and replies:
if ( !bbp_check_for_duplicate( array( 'post_type' => bbp_get_reply_post_type(), 'post_author' => $reply_author, 'post_content' => $reply_content, 'post_parent' => $topic_id, 'anonymous_data' => $anonymous_data ) ) )
bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_duplicate', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Duplicate reply detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!', 'bbpress' ) );
Obviously this isn’t ideal – everytime we upgrade I have to remember to do this. Is there any way to override this in my theme files?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks. I am not really sure if this is a Buddypress or BBpress area to ask as it becomes a bit of a grey area. It this using buddypress templates, or is it using bbpress templates….not quite sure. I guess more research is needed still. I guess at bit of both, to an extend. Thanks
Hi,
I want to stop new topic creation on my bbpress groups page, i contacted bbpress and they said i need a customer code to stop new topic creation on bbpress groups. Can anyone on here help?

Thanks for ur reply! Honestly I dont understand ur reply well, maybe I did not explain my problem clear: ((I am developing a website and I used buddypress and bbpress.))
When someone comments on my replies in ‘Activity’ page, I get notification for it which is the way it should be. So when I have, say 6, new comments on my replies I have a notification says u have 6 replies (…blablabla) which is OK. Then, I click on that notification and I will be directed to the ‘notifications’ page which is OK too. But the ‘notifications’ page shows nothing! It should show me a list of all the 6 replies!
I appreciate if anyone help me where in my theme I should dig into, as I am sure it’s my theme problem.
Thank you!
Hello!
I’d like to know if there’s a plugin for bbPress which doesn’t allow non-logged in people to see any of the topics in the forum and redirects them to the login page?
Have a great day,
Ecroow
Hi again,
I’ve created a developpment server and disabled all plugins (without bbpress) and change my template to use default template.
Same issue :/
1. Does anyone know how to move the reply box in bbpress forum from the bottom to the top!? I tried to code but it does not work for me!!?
2. Is it possible to make the reply box as it is in the activity page? (which is very small and handy)
Thank you!
Surely there is a way to change the reply author without going into the admin panel?
The devs made it possible in the 2.6 version of bbPress I think.
https://github.com/ntwb/bbPress/blob/master/src/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php#L117
Not sure how to do what you want with a filter.
Check to see if this is theme specific or see if changing the forum search slug is causing this.
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/
2.6 alpha did just get updated with the 2.5.10 security fix.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-5-10-released/
I rolled back bbPress since I read they changed their mail headers in 2.5.4 – so I went from the latest (2.5.9) to 2.5.3
Update it to the latest version.
Edited the database and added multiple addresses in the wp_options field for admin – still no notifications.
Maybe consider reverting this to what you had previously.
Did you do all what is described below @benjieblock?
Create a forum and subscribe to the forum, and create a topic with your admin account and also subscribe to it on a live test site to test these subscriptions in.
Create a test participant user to just post test posts in that topic you just created to test topic subscription emails, and create topics in the forum to test forum subscription emails.
I guess now just check on your Admin/Keymaster email {your admin user email} to see if any of them sent.
This is just troubleshooting to see if you can even get 1 subscription email, either topic or forum subscription emails using bbPress by default without any new plugins.
If it works without any plugins we can go from there.
IF it doesn’t we need to find a plugin/theme/custom code snippet that might be causing an issue.
Also in the future the larger your forums grow and if you allow both subscription emails for every mod and keymaster in your forum, you will need to consider using smtp and AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions.
Follow this. If you theme has a specific way of creating a child theme follow any of their own guides.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
The categories and topics are all weird. I just wish it looked standard like every other major forum out there.
It may be how the default category and forum layout bbPress uses. Maybe consider using this loop-forums.php file in a child theme.
https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout
Per forum moderation is coming in the 2.6 release of bbPress.
THere might be a premium plugin that can add this feature, I think it was Press Permit Core, not entirely sure though.
Robin says his plugin Private Groups may be able to do this type of thing too.
Is is possible to download BBPress.org Theme for our forum?
I have searched in the forum before but the last topic I found is 6 years ago and I didn’t find anything useful.
Thanks!
Okay so we use the Valenti theme for our site which is gorgeous. But I hate the way it styles the BBPress forums…
The categories and topics are all weird. I just wish it looked standard like every other major forum out there. Minecraftforum.net is a good example of the layout I’d like to see.
Does anybody have any suggestions on what I could do to achieve that? I have searched through these forums and all of the methods seem outdated as they aren’t working for me.
@earl_d I made a tutorial for BuddyPress which you could adjust for the bbPress version. e.g. in the B. Full-width Layout section, instead of creating buddypress.php, create bbpress.php at the root of your theme’s folder. Good luck.
Twenty Twelve Theme
On the bbPress side, you’ll probably want to use bbp_insert_topic(). Usage is near-identical to wp_insert_post() – see here if you’re unfamiliar with this:
wp_insert_post()
I’ll leave interaction with the Postmark API for you to figure out 😉
I am running the latest BBP with WP 4.53 and BP 2.6.1.1 with sitewide and group forums using a 2012 child theme. I would like to show the forum pages full width in twenty twelve. I have tried several options to do this from using CSS to change the site content width along side copying the full with template and remaining Bbpress.php in the 2012 child theme folder as well as copying the Bbpress template folder to my 2012 child theme folder.
None of that has worked the closest it comes is the removal of the sidebar but the Bbpress content still doesn’t display full width. I have looked through the codex and the forums here but have not found a solution. Is there something I am missing? Can anyone point me to a definitive solution to this nagging problem. thank you
Hi,
The solutions mentioned in the shared URL is related to reply on a topic/post via email instead of creating a new topic/post.
We have checked this but it does not seems a complete solution to create a bbpress topic via email. Can you please help us out how a topic can be created using postmark email API?
