Sorry for the late reply, got sick.
Guys I think you missed the main point. Uploading images is not a problem. I do use GD bbpress Attachments. The problem is that when you don’t type anything int he text field, the upload is not allowed.
And this is exactly what I need – I need to upload images without adding any text to the text filed. I think it is actually a bbPress limitation.
Please let me know if there is anything that can be done here.
Thanks.
Elijah.
I have:
WP 4.4.2
bbPress 2.5.8
BuddyPress 2.4.3
Karma theme 3.0.3
Please see my forum home page here: http://www.cytoviva.com/userforum/
What I want to do is hide the “white area” with the logo and menu (products, gallery, etc.) ONLY on bbpress forum pages, not the rest of the non-forum pages. Here is the code for my bbPress.php page created from copying another template page and saving it in my child theme (as instructed).
Can anyone tell me what to edit/remove from this page to just remove the home menu, but LEAVE the main top menu (home, about us, client sites) in blue?
I have tried several things and can’t seem to get anywhere.
Thanks in advance!!!

This doesn’t seem quite right, what theme are you using? Have you made any custom templates for bbPress and that theme?
Can you post the URL to your site so I can take a closer look please.
I’ve updated and sent a new pull request đ
https://github.com/damon18/dizkus-bbpress/pull/2
It pretty much covers everything, I removed most of the unused bits and pieces
⢠Removes unused anonymous/guest topic and reply importing
⢠Updated zk_dizkus_topics and zk_dizkus_posts table joining logic
⢠Removes unsupported topic favorites importing
⢠Removes zk_dizkus_users tables references, all usable user data is available in the zk_users table
⢠Removes unsupported user profile fields
⢠Renames all the phpBB things to dizkus
It appears dizkus supports topic subscription, forum subscription, and forum favorites. bbPress doesn’t support forum favorites so thats out, but topic and forum subscriptions should work fine
⢠zk_dizkus_forum_favorites – forum_id
⢠zk_dizkus_subscription – forum_id
⢠zk_dizkus_topic_subscription – topic_id
Lastly, the one broken thing đ Based on the way bbPress’ importer currently works it needs to remain SQL compatible for ~25 different database schemea’s, this is really hard đ As such I couldn’t find a way to ignore the topic being imported a second time as a reply. So you will see after importing you will have a duplicate post, one is the original topic, and the other is a reply. I’m not sure if the database you shared with me is the complete dataset or not, if it is then manually deleting the duplicate after import would be my suggestion. If not, we can work on making a tweak/modification/hack to the original database to achieve this.
I tried about 6-8 themes and they all have the same result. Ok, if its just a theme issue then don’t worry. I thought it went deeper than that. I guess WordPress themes are not tweaked for bbPress so this is likely to occur with most themes and need a manual edit.
I am still in the process of testing before moving site so lots of other things to iron out yet.
Thanks.
As I said I’m a WP newbie trying to understand how everything works. These are my considerations so far. I do not want to hurt anybody.
After a couple of days of testing I’m really going insane trying to get a minimum acceptable installation.
While I understand that acceptable is a moot concept, I mean “similar classic feature of all free forum scripts out there” I’m not speaking about cutting edge features but really standard forum features since phpBB 2 hence:
- extended user profile
- private messaging
- user signature
- post count and join date below username
- post preview
- attachments with inline images
- quote replies
- report
- sticky, new, hot for topics
- view unread content
Now I understand that all of them can be obtained through 10 different plugins but I’m really scared to do so for these reasons:
- 10 different plugins and authors are very difficult to maintain. Chances something screw up are high, no matter how godd is the code.
- some of plugins implementing above features seems already nearly abandoned
- In one of my past life I was so naive to dope my Joomla installation with several third party mambot/plugins. When I had to upgrade I discovered that several of them where abandoned giving me a hege PITA to upgrade
- In a recent life I avoided to dope my IP Board installation with plugins but during a main upgrade I had the same problem with some mods I made by myself
Now I’m trying to bring everything to wordpress + bbpress but I see that it is a steep climb just to get what in 2016 is considered a forum with basic features. I’m not a developer otherwise I was already coding the missing pieces.
Please: less plugins – more core features
Hi,
check the different snippets and plugins I mentioned in this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/setup-login-for-private-forum/
Pascal.
Not sure where you have put the screenshots, but I don’t see them : https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/tk-bbpress-stats/
They should go into the assets folder there. I normally use png, but I suppose jpg is possible too. And as Robin says: all lowercase !

Hi, Thanks for this detailed test.
Performance is among the main improvements in 2.6, so if you are in testing phase, could you check that version ? https://bbpress.org/download/
Thanks,
Pascal.
I am now testing bbPress for a move away from SMF but very surprised by bbPress responsive reaction. As the browser narrows (on pc) the freshness, topics and posts count do not collapse. They are also shown as totals for the category and each board.
It seems like a total waste of screen to include that and detracts form the important information – the category and board titles. It also happened on several themes I tried so I guess that makes no difference.
WordPress 4.4.2
bbPress Version 2.5.8

im having a issue with the login widget of bbPress. whenever i login as an admin it works fine, than it redirects to the forum again. but when i login with any other user it redirects me to the homepage instead of the forum. i want that all the users redirect to the forum again. can anyone help me out?
thanks
I think we should wait and see what bbPress has for us…
@valery-kondakoff
This is a bbPress stylesheet issue. The bbPress plugin has it where most of the forums background areas are styled instead of being transparent for better theme integration. You can fix this using Robins plugin and change the headers and background color to different colors to match your theme.
This issue is theme related, because bbPress is just inheriting the CSS styles from the themes stylesheet. Same thing with the other themes, there are just some styles that could affect some classes in the code that can make the layout look different.
In the theme compat code in bbPress, has it where you can use default WordPress conditionals like is_single() which should show up for each single forum and topic, and is_archive() for the forum archive (forum root page) and topic archive (usually at yoursite.com/topics or forum root).
So while you did create a single forum page using shortcodes as an easy to do workaround, as the code for the “indentation” is created by your themes CSS and only for single pages using ,while you created a simple page. When you enter the normal forum url in 2016 you will see the same “indentation” you see on topics.
You are on the money on what CSS to use to fix the issue, there is just some media queries that you need to add is all. There will be a slight margin to the right around 700px width when the sidebar goes under the content, but a page has that same margin in your theme and for consistency I just say leave it in.
This CSS should help your help solve your issue.
@media screen and (min-width: 61.5625em) {
.bbpress .entry-content {
float: none;
width: auto;
}
}
if everything is planned there will be great future in bbpress...
You can place this view shortcode into a page and just link to it anywhere.
[bbp-single-view id='no-replies']

@pahkiller read the closing topics section in this guide. It is for closing topics from any new replies, you can also read the rest of the guide about closing forums which will make participants unable to create new topics and replies in a forum.

Hello,
I would like to know how to add some text before the BBPress new topic box. Like here for example, it gives some instructions on what to include to help out the process of getting support. Here is an image from wordpress.org support showing the tips above the new topic form.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_h6oU4LzDtlWXdyd1NXTU9NNHM/view?usp=sharing
Any ideas on how I can do it?
Thanks.
Thank you for adding a ticket. Hopefully this will be fixed.
Maybe it is a good idea to add another ticket as well: the bbPress does not follow switching color scheme in the default WP theme (Twenty Sixteen). Here are the details and a screenshot: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-does-not-support-the-default-wp-theme-when-switching-to-dark-scheme/
Thanks for the test. I have the same issue on 2016, so I created trac ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2921
Let see if something can be done, for now you will have to live with the CSS trick above
Pascal.
Just tested several default WP themes with bbPress (from 2010 to 2016). Here they are: http://vkondakoff.synology.me/photo/share/8erFChRr
2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015 are looking good. 2011 is cropped by it’s right side even without anything in WP sidebar. 2014 is just to small is size (don’t know why). 2016 is just cropped on the left side…
Here it is: http://rugby-forum.ru/wp3/forums/
Looks like this code helps a little bit:
.bbpress .entry-content {
float: none !important;
width: auto !important;
}
Are there any better solutions? And why bbPress reserves this space?
Thank you!
OK it seems to work only if you been to the wordpress logon screen. When i restart the browser i cannot login. I have now added a button to login via wordpress logon screen. If i click it, then back the login BBpress login fields work! so strange!
I did it very nice with activated TinyMce for bbpress (simple one) and media upload button.
Then with one snippet limmited users to se only own uploads. It is easy to find on Google.
Now with Shortcode UI (Shortake) it is very easy to make plenty of visual shortcodes for forum. So play with it and use it for attachments.There is allways way to remove other media modal tab items.
I will play a bit with it in future. BBC codes as shortcodes, etc.
@mimbelli, try not to revive 4y old posts please. Just post your own đ
For uploading files, the 3 products I know of are âGD bbpress Attachmentsâ, âImage Upload for BBPressâ and âbbPress Multi Image Uploaderâ. Have a look if it would fit your needs.
If you use BuddyPress as well, then there is also âBuddyPress Forum Editorâ.
