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?

Forget to mention I am using the bbpress 2.6-alpha.

[Sziban]

Just changed 10 minutes ago. Almost all of the bbpress files updated. (Still functioning well.) Is this normal?
Example:

[Robkk]

Follow this guide and place the CSS files from the bbPress plugin in a child theme then customize it from there. Or use a custom CSS plugin. Whatever works best for you.

[Robkk]

I recommend not using a page builder when creating bbPress forum post types. Use a page builder to make custom static pages, not try to customize bbPress dynamic pages.

I reper this proplam:

Hey,

It’s pretty simple, install User Role Editor plugin into your WP. Then visit plugin and reset all user roles to default and it’ll work…I had same problem but now it’s working..

Thanks

and

Never mind I just fixed it. In case anybody else experiences this problem, here is what I did:
(back up database first)
1) deactivate BBPress
2) install User Role Editor
3) Click the red Reset button which will reset all roles to WP defaults
4) Re-activate BBPress.

thx

Am I missing something? I can edit the forums just like the page editor, but when I click “update” nothing seems to go through. How can I make it so it works? I’ve tried even switching themes and seeing if that helps, nothing.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 2.5.10 is out, and is a security release for all previous 2.x versions. 2.5.10 includes additional escaping on user display names in places where names & avatars are commonly displayed together.

These changes are internal to bbPress and do not affect any third-party themes or modifications to bbPress template parts. If you are using a third-party theme or template parts, you will inherit these fixes automatically.

Please take a moment to update your bbPress installations to 2.5.10. If you’re using WordPress’s built-in updater, it should only take a click or two.

These fixes have also been ported over to 2.6, which we continue to run here at bbPress.org and BuddyPress.org.

Hi Steve,
And where is your bbPress related question? If your question is general for WordPress then you’re better off in https://wordpress.org/support/
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Only one tip: Ask on the BuddyPress forum. 🙂
This forum is for bbPress related questions so you might have more luck on buddypress.org/support.

The “Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly.” will be caused by either your theme or a plugin.

Try switching theme to Twenty Fifteen to see if the error is fixed, if not deactivate all your plugins except bbPress and then reactivate each plugin one-by-one until the error appears again, then you’ll know which one is causing the problem.

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly

[yckelvin]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I install the bbPress and find the search box and button are in separate line, I review the code of form-search.php

<form role="search" method="get" id="bbp-search-form" action="<?php bbp_search_url(); ?>">
	<div>
		<label class="screen-reader-text hidden" for="bbp_search"><?php _e( 'Search for:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
		<input type="hidden" name="action" value="bbp-search-request" />
		<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr( bbp_get_search_terms() ); ?>" name="bbp_search" id="bbp_search" />
		<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="bbp_search_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>" />
	</div>
</form>

There is not line break tag <br> between the input element, does anyone know how I can remove the break?

Best regards,

Kelvin.

If you want to take a custom CSS based approach, you could use the body.bbpress selector.

In your case, an extra selector is needed for the main forum page. It’s not ideal to hardcode page IDs in CSS this way and normally that wouldn’t be required – but you seem to be using a custom page instead of a regular forum archive there.

Example:

body.page-id-174,
body.bbpress {
  background: white url("http://replace.me/with-image.png") repeat top left !important;
}

If you add the above to your child theme stylesheet it should get you in the right direction. Please also note if you are able to add it after the existing custom background CSS rule, you can drop the !important modifier.

Of course, don’t forget to add a legit URL in there!

Hope that helps 🙂

[davidnator]

Thanks for the reply Robkk! So is there any way to easily only revert the other pages but not the bbpress pages?

[Barry]

Would this snippet work for you? You could add to a custom plugin, or to your theme’s functions.php file if that’s how you like to do things.

function bbpress_unhook_email_notifications() {
	remove_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_notify_topic_subscribers', 11 );
	remove_action( 'bbp_new_topic', 'bbp_notify_forum_subscribers', 11 );
}

add_action( 'init', 'bbpress_unhook_email_notifications', 100 );

[Robkk]

I don’t think this has anything to do with bbPress either. Remember these support forums are just for the bbPress plugin.

Maybe go into these support forums instead.

https://wordpress.org/support/

[Robkk]

This seems to not be about bbPress at all.

Contact your theme author if this is theme specific.

I had a problem with my Dutch languge setting.
I just wanted everything in dutch.
My site was already in Dutch (WordPress 4.2.9)
This is what i did and one of those things worked.

– So, my site is in dutch
– Installed bbPress and it was in English.
– In my settings i changed the language to English and back to dutch.
– In home/updates all the way down i ran the language update.

Now my site and forum are in Dutch.
Hope this works for others.

And if not..

I’m having the same problem, the source of which is because USER IDS aren’t matching between each installation. When importing new users, a new user ID is generated for each account on the new installation, so BBpress is not able to recalculate properly since author ID numbers for forums, topics, and replied do not match. It would be GREAT if BBpress had a recalculation method based on USER EMAIL instead of user ID. IDs change between installations but emails usually do not when transferring between wordpress installations. Very broken atm.

[Robkk]

You are going to have to create this by yourself.

bbPress comprises of custom post types, so you should be able to use post_meta.

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_meta/

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_post_meta

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_post_meta

Here is a good example of using custom post meta with bbPress.

https://wp-dreams.com/articles/2013/06/adding-custom-fields-bbpress-topic-form/

There are some bbPress support forum plugins that you may need to look into that may add something similar of the features you want.

You can create a custom topic form input for the users to explain why this is important, a topic status that indicates where the topic is at and indicate by color, resolution deadline could be time it was closed.

There is also many hooks that might be helpful.

[Robkk]

Can’t you just disable bbPress forum subscriptions in Settings > Forums, and just keep the BuddyPress notifications.

BuddyPress might send out emails for their specific components too, you might need to head to their support forum for this.

[Robkk]

I agree with you it seems odd to have it this way, created this ticket in favor to change it.

1. An answer to this is really a personal opinion on what you prefer specifically from each.

2. For WordPress you need a theme, Im sure its the same for others.

3. Just so you know WordPress is the CMS and bbPress is just piggybacking and using APIs from such. WordPress is updated quite frequently. You can allow bbPress to update automatically if you want through some plugin.

4. I don’t know why you brought up phpbb here, but bbPress can be automatically updated using a plugin. WordPress is updated automatically for security releases, and sometimes hosts cann allow you to just allow it to update automatically all the time.

5. Blog functionality comes packaged with WordPress, you can add other features using plugins or themes.

6. Read this for hardening WordPress.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

7. For captcha plugins that work with bbPress check out this guide.

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/forum-moderation/dealing-with-spam/#registration-spam

8. Use a plugin, or online service, or check your hosting provider.

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/backing-up-your-database-and-files/

9. Yes this forum has more than 100k topics. Users you will be fine.

Also which plugins will be better for users and forums so that their updation does not affect the live site once it is launched.

IF you are talking about plugin/theme/WordPress updates. Try to avoid automatic updates so you do not come across issues during an update and check to see if the update does not have any issues below rolling it out. Or just take frequent backups to avoid update issues and just roll back to a previous state.
