bbpress uses the wordpress system of gravatar, so you’ll need to do that

How do I upload my avatar on this site? On bbPress.org? Went to edit my profile but don’t see an option.

Thank you both for the help. I installed the “Simple Custom CSS” Plugin and fixed both issues by adding the following code there, after removing the code to “get sidebars” in bbpress.php

/* Change Post Font Color to Black */
.post-inner .entry{ color: #000; }

/* Increase Forums to Full-Width of Page - after removing get sidebar code from bbpressphp */
.bbpress .main-inner,
.bbpress .main,
.page-template-full-width .main-inner,
.page-template-full-width .main  {
  background: none !important;
  padding-right: 0 !important;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
}

/* Increase Font Size on various items in bbPress */

These are not BuddyPress notifications, but are in fact bbPress email subscriptions right??

[Robkk]

Yeah you can’t do what you want now using that specific plugin, you can using widget logic, or creating a bbpress specific sidebar for all the widgets you want/not want to display on bbPress pages.

Contact the display widgets plugin author to possibly add this feature to hide/show widgets on bbPress user profiles, and maybe specifically the edit profile page. All they would need is just use these supplied bbPress conditionals.

bbp_is_single_user_edit()
bbp_is_single_user()

[Robkk]

There are a ton of social login plugins that will work, just search for them here.

There are plugins that can autopost bbPress topics to twitter like bbp-tweet, and many other different ways like using Jetpack or NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster.

Allowing an anonymous forum, but allow twitter social registration to your site…making sure that the thread posters topic is created on the thread posters twitter page, and each reply post reply to that users twitter page post…all sounds like custom development, and you should try to find a developer to create this for you.

[Robkk]

The last three items are probably added by some plugin that hooks into the registration form. bbPress’ registration form template uses the same hook as the WordPress default registration form, so any plugin that hooks into one will hook into the other.

Hi,

I have installed bbpress on my website and it works, but it looks messed up.

http://matchedbetting.review/forum/

If someone could at least point me in the right direction to get started I’d be grateful – to get the layout look half decent. Also the sub pages don’t have a sidebar too (which I think I have found stuff on the forum to help me with that).

Thanks

[walterfenley]

Hi there,
i am going to use bbpress for my upcoming forum but, i have some question if anyone can help i will be very thankful to him.
Make user register and login only through twitter.

And such users who logged in through twitter can post.

It will be even better if a thread is automatically added to the twitter page of the thread poster.

If will be even better if the replies to the thread are automatically added to the reply to that twitter post.

(Would it be even possible to automatically assign a twitter account for the user when he register for my forum? Because a user might find it boring to have to go through the process of creating twitter account)

(

Allow entire forum to be anonymous forum.

Thread-starter can write a link like “google.com” and then the webpage screen frame of “google.com” will appear inside the thread, or appear as the 1st reply to the thread.

[powershelldon]

Is there a way (either a plugin, or even manually in MySQL) to purge old topic subscriptions in bbPress?

We auto-close topics after 180 days, and it’d be kind of nice to “clean up” the database and remove people’s “notify me of replies on this topic” subscriptions, too.

[mygirlywho]

I have a rather large vbulletin database – just under 2M posts in 160k threads. I am looking for a solution with better photo posting options than vb. I’ve been reading the threads here and I’m not sure if this is a good fit. If I can get it imported, is it just too big to run on bbPress without being slow as a snail?

[siparker]

I imported my vb forum into bbpress and finally its workign as i want it.

with a few bugs to be dealt with but the main one is every notificatio0n that has ever been created is now being sent. the forum has been live since 2007 so now i and all my members are slowly getting every notification they ever recieved before. from 2007 to date.

thats not great

any ideas on how to stop them?

I made a breakthrough in this and am now managing. Had a bit of a DUH moment, looked at page source and found where the bbpress CSS file is linked from.
🙂

[LilGames]

Where does the “(bbpress) Login Widget” get its styling from? The default layout I have right now has bad layout regardless of sidebar width. For example there doesn’t seem to be enough width for even the word “Username:” to appear without the colon wrapping around like this:

Username
:

Same for “Remember Me” which looks like this:

Remembe
r Me

The input text fields have plenty of room to the right they could align to.

I would attach an example image but this forum doesn’t seem to support that feature. I have searched the support forums and documentation and haven’t found styling advice that works. Can someone tell me exactly what CSS is required to modify this widget? I have tried just setting the background color so I know I have the right CSS path and yet, I can’t get that working.

Yes, I’ve inspected with Chrome inspector. Yes, I have experience with CSS and styling other parts of the WP site I am working on. It’s just widgets that I can’t seem to get the CSS “path” right.

THanks

Hi, I am newbie in the world of wordpress and bbpress . Would I recomendais some thread or site with good tutorials ? Mainly bbPress . Thank you

[fpradmin]

Well, I definitely appreciate the help, but most likely I’m doing something wrong or not placing the code in the right location. I replaced my bbpress.php with yours(although there wasn’t a lot of difference). Then I tried placing the .css code in my custom css file, at the top, then in the middle, then at the bottom.. none of which had any effect. I then tried to edit my styles.css, which is actually my Main.css(because of the way the Hueman Theme moves and hides it for minification). I put the css code there, at the bottom, and it still had no effect, so eventually I took it back out and returned things to the way I had them. If it shouldn’t be just placed at the bottom, where should it go? Again, I’m not a developer so I’m a bit nervous playing around with the code too much.

Any idea how to increase the Font Size? If I could increase the Font size, I might even consider leaving the sidebars in place, just for the sake of leaving things well enough alone, before I break something.

[Robkk]

Or another possible pinch point is the Tool’s kits option to remove css from non bbpress pages

the bbp toolkit plugin just dequeues the bbPress default stylesheet if the page is not a bbPress one. Here is the function for that feature.

function bbptoolkit_unqueue_bbp_scripts() {
	if( ! is_bbpress() ) {
		$bbptoolkit_rem_defstyle = get_option('bbptoolkit-rem-defstyle', false);
		if ($bbptoolkit_rem_defstyle) {
			wp_dequeue_style('bbp-default');
			wp_dequeue_style('bbp-default-rtl');
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'bbp_enqueue_scripts', 'bbptoolkit_unqueue_bbp_scripts', 15 );

This may not be the conflict as I think robins plugin doesn’t mess with the default stylesheet in bbPress. So it might be something else.

[Themezly]

I am working on a theme and need to deque all bbpress scripts and enque my own if I am on forum pages. This is what I used to start with

	if( !is_admin() ){ 
		/**
		 *	Replace bbpress style with our own
		 *  @internal
		 */
		function _thz_action_bbpress_style() {
			
			wp_dequeue_style( 'bbp-default' );
			
			if (is_bbpress()){
				
				wp_enqueue_style( THEME_NAME. '-bbpress' );	
		
			}
			
	
		}
		
		if (function_exists('is_bbpress')){
			add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', '_thz_action_bbpress_style' );
		}
		
		
	
	}

issue with this is that is_bbpress() is not recognized on pages that use any bbpress shortcodes like

[bbp-forum-index]

Can someone please provide a working conditional that runs only on forum pages and not throughout the whole site. Thnx!

[Robkk]

This is the bbpress.php file that you would need and its required code.

https://gist.github.com/robkk/a89e6cff104f70556f52c6df3f6b69b0

This is the custom CSS you will need.

.bbpress .main-inner,
.bbpress .main {
  background: none !important;
  padding-right: 0 !important;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
}

This will not work for pages with bbPress shortcodes though.

But you can work around that since most shortcodes are supposed to be placed in pages, you can create another template just for full width layouts in your theme. You can use this whenever you create a new page and select the template to use for your page.

To create a full-width template, you can literally just copy the bbpress.php file I created for you, rename it to full-width.php, put it in your child theme, now you need to edit the file and place

<?php
/*
Template Name: Full-Width
*/
?>

right above

<?php get_header(); ?>

You will need more custom css for any page using this template in your theme and it should be

.page-template-full-width .main-inner,
.page-template-full-width .main  {
  background: none !important;
  padding-right: 0 !important;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
}

If you plan to use both, just combine the two custom CSS statements, and now you should be good to go.

It´s WP 4.3.3, PHP 5.3 and bbpress 2.5.9 on a remote server

EDIT: PHP is 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23

[Robin W]

is this a local server installation?

and also can you tell me what versions of wp, bbpress and php you are using?

[semperaye]

Apparently bbPress doesn’t recognize or work out the latest post (freshness tweak) when you have:

category -> category -> forum -> topic

Unless…there is a reply attached to that topic, then the latest post/topic will show up.

[Robin W]

loop-forums.php is a file that sites on your server, you cannot ‘call it’ from within php.

You access the file using FTP and an editor.

see ‘What is FTP and how do I access it?’ within this link

https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

[khunmax]

The following CSS works to resolve issues .2 and .3 above:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list {border:none; color:#INSERTHEXCOLOROFYOURLINKS;}

I am still hopeful to receive some input on 1. .4 and .5 and the best practice question.

Kind Regards

Max
