I have threaded replies enabled, the box ticked, and the forum subscribed, but I am not getting any BuddyPress notifications when someone responds to the topic. @Robkk, It probably is a bug. I wish more people would work on BBPress, but I know you can only go so far with volunteer work (and they did go pretty far! Especially with BuddyPress. BuddyPress is awesome.).
I used the plugin wp-members and put the forums in the member area. I have been speaking to the author of that plugin who is brilliant with support and he had problems at the begining as well. So I have done loads more searching and it is known problem which BBPress do nothing about
There is no solution out there BUT what you can do is change the main search function to include forums and that is what I have eventually done. I do think BBPress should provide a proper solution
So you ditch the BBPress function, it does not work. And amend the normal search to include forums. I used this code snippet to help.
/**
* Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'forum' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
$forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

Does this custom CSS help any?? This is what I have making a custom theme in twentytwelve.
#bbpress-forums #wp-link {
font-size: 13px;
}
#bbpress-forums #wp-link .screen-reader-text, .screen-reader-text span,
#bbpress-forums #wp-link .ui-helper-hidden-accessible {
position: absolute;
margin: -1px;
padding: 0;
height: 1px;
width: 1px;
overflow: hidden;
clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
border: 0;
word-wrap: normal!important;
}
Hello,
if you look at our latest topic, you will see the blue notice bar. In in, the time is formatted incorrect. There should be a comma, or even better, the word “und” between the hours and the minutes, not a full stop. I tried to change it in the translation, but there is only a code for the whole timestamp. I would suggest to update bbpress in this regard, so the timestamp becomes localizable.
Best
Manuel
so if you go in as administrator and hover over forums, you get a list of
all forums
new forums
forum moderators
or what do you get?
sorry but my test site is set up for buddypress at the mo for something else, so don’t want to alter to see what you get with just bbpress and my private groups
Hello there,
I use WP 4.4.2, bbpress 2.5.8, this is a post in our forums.
To insert a link in my copy, there is this popup window. Apparently, it gets its styling from various sources, including my theme’s settings, where for regular text, I set the font-size to 17px, while line-height of 26px is hard-coded into the theme. As you can see (if you click the link-button in the reply form below the sample post given above), this disturbs the styling of this popup.
Is there any way to a) make this popup draw its styling from the back-end CSS (where the same window is used, and looks fine), which in any case I would like to suggest for future updates of bbpress, or b) style it with custom CSS?
Thank you
Manuel
Thanks for your research. Im also still searching. Hope some other bbpress lovers will find any solutions.
Cheers
🙂
Do you agree with the fact that “Moderator – Cannot create and edit forums”?
Not sure I either agree or disagree, or that it is a fact – I’m trying to help here, I’m not trying win an argument in a bar, but as a user of this software I haven’t tested every feature 🙂
The documentation for bbpress says that moderators can publish and edit forums
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
Is it this that you are asserting isn’t true?
Edit the code in the Gist and add style to the Span tag like so.
// Span
‘span’ => array(
‘class’ => true,
‘style’ => true,
),
I am not sure why you would even want the more tag, as it might be useless in the frontend of your site and bbPress forum posts.
Unfortunately, using just CSS, there is no way to assign different colours to each forum.
Yeah there is. I used to do this with CSS way back.
Here is something I did real quick and an image to show you, that you can do it.
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-parent-forum-8 span.bbp-topic-started-in a {
background-color: #00a6eb;
color: #FFF;
padding: 3px 5px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-parent-forum-0 span.bbp-topic-started-in a {
background-color: #E25E00;
color: #fff;
padding: 3px 5px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Okay I tested the bbPress forum search on my localhost setup with the latest bbPress, BuddyPress, and WordPress, and I have no issues.
I am running a default setup, and I do not have the forums under a directory called “members area” though. If you run bbPress in the default setup without putting it under the “members area” directory would it work on your site if you searched “forum” for your only forum on your site?
I am not entirely sure how you did the members area directory on your site in the first place, I am not entirely sure it is a sub directory in a multisite setup.
bbPress reply posts are having issues with CSS from your theme that is for WordPress comments.
Try this CSS, add it to your child themes style.css file or add it to a custom css plugin.
#bbpress-forums .reply a {
float: none;
padding: 0;
color: inherit;
font-size: inherit;
display: initial;
position: initial;
}
@davidstriga
I think if you have threaded replies enabled in bbPress, if you reply to another reply, you get a BuddyPress notification (if you have the notifications active), I think there is a bug in bbPress’ code for that feature though.
@pestocat for the latest bbPress v2 plugin, you need to install the Akismet plugin from wordpress.org.
@rothaar bbPress by default does not have this kind of layout or the “by” in the last post column, so it is definitely your theme.
I think that the “by” is just in a template, maybe loop-single-topic.php and loop-single-forum.php in your theme.
It might be best to create a child theme and manually edit the template and then translate the word to your language.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Just copy your main themes bbPress templates into your child theme, and edit the files I listed above.
Do I need to add the Akismet plugin or is already in the main bbPress plugin.

Hi Karen,
I suspect that is coming from your theme and not from bbPress as I don’t recognize that column as being standard WordPress.
If this is a public site, could you post the link here so I have a look ?
Thanks,
Pascal.
I would like to know how I can put up a ‘forum cover image’ on the page of each of my forums…..
I was hoping to use the ‘featured image’ function and display a landscape image on top of the page.
For example, if i am running a fitness forum community with a cardio workouts forum, and put up a cover image showing pple doing cardio….. and then for the weights forum, i’d have a weights cover image.
How could I do this?
FYI My knowledge of wordpress, bbpress, buddypress is beginner – intermediate. I know how to edit files, but not write code myself.
Hi there,
I want bbpress being displayed in spanish. My wordpress page is usually in english. I found a topic about the same problem already in this forum, where one of you guys said that the homepage language has to be spanish if you want that bbpress is in spanish. So I changed the language in the general settings in wordpress to spanish but the forum sentences of bbpress are still displayed in english (for instance: “This forum is empty.Oh bother! No topics were found here!Create New Topic in…”). I also put the .mo and.po files in my ftp manager like its recommended here in the forum. Nevertheless it is not working. I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance and best regards
I am using BuddyPress with BBPress, and, if I create a topic, I get a notification that someone commented in the topic, but, as a participant of a topic, I don’t get a notification if someone replies to my comment in a topic. There are a couple bugs I’m working out on my site (allianceofhealth.com), and I’m not sure if this is one of them. Is this a feature that I might have to program into BBPress or BuddyPress (whichever one’s responsible for the notifs).
Replying to my own post in order to help others with the same problem: The plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has a widget which does exactly this. It costs a little money but also contains a wealth of other enhancements to bbPress making it worth it.
Hi all!
I use Woo Memberships and Subscriptions to run a pretty healthy membership type site at schoolofbookkeeping.com. The public should be able to view forums, but not reply or create topics. When a subscriber logins, of course they should be able to. However, if they cancel their subscription, Woo turns “subscriber” into “customer” BUT I have no idea how to turn “participant” into “spectator.” I’ve tried to bulk edit in users, but it won’t stick. Each user has “customer, participant.” I am forced to edit each user and change it within their user profile. This can be extremely time consuming. Any ideas?
