Hi,
Is it safe to use this plugin which is not updated for 3 years (!)?
I search a way to restrict all bbpress (forums, pages, uploads) to members only. Is there another plugin or functions to do that ?
Thanks.
Hello,
I have BBPress 0.9 on an older website of mine and I would like to upgrade to the current WordPress version. Since my website is a simple static website I was thinking about installing WordPress in the /forums/ directory and add the BBPress plugin.
Is the above possible?
Thank you.
1) I’m trying to figure out how to reduce the size of the Heading/Title bar of the forums/topic etc.
The default is about a 1 1/2 inch thick solid bar. However; the text Forum/topic/post and freshness is about a third of that width. I’d like the title box to be more stream lined rather than bulky as it is…
I’ve been trying to locate the appropriate CSS file and lines to update but have had no luck.
2) I assume this is kind of the same formatting issue and can be resolved the same way. Each topic in the forum is allocated about 1 1/2 inches of space to show the topic titel, and its corresponding counts. Again I only need that space to be about 1/2 inch at most.
I’m aware that its probably most appropriate to use padding and margins to explain what i’m seeing and trying to change. But I’m a novice and figured i used jargon more familiar to me.
Hi all,
I’m working on a website (being hosted locally for now) which should have a forum translated to Dutch. I’m following all the necessary steps to my knowledge, have downloaded the stable, 100% completed language files, uploaded them to the correct folder as mentioned on this site, but the translation isn’t kicking in.
Under Settings in our WordPress Admin panel we have set the language to Dutch (Formal), I read that this isn’t desired because the translation for the forum might not kick in? Should I use the other route instead, adding a line in the wp-config file, pointing to accompanying translation files?
WP version is 4.4.2
bbPress version is 2.5.8.
I hope some of you may recognize the problems I’m having and can steer me in the right direction. Thank you in advance for your time and help!
Kind regards, Blux78
The code isn’t better, but I wanted to be sure that code itself wasn’t an issue. obviously posting the exact code works, although it doesn’t preform what you wish.
So back to the gallery plugin author for his help
I don’t know what giving throttle capability does the dics only discuss the setting
Throttle posting every
Set this to the minimum time (in seconds) between posting new replies in bbPress forums. This is useful to help stop spamming or other attempts to interrupt the normal flow of the forum.
Hi @brad3n,
When there is a mention of functions.php to add code, it’s always referring to the functions.php of your (child) theme, never inside a plugin.

Pascal.
@ezhikorn There are a lot of different functions.php files I’m seeing a lot of different folders within the bbPress plugin. Which one specifically do I add it to?
I am quiet new to this whole WordPress and bbPress world lol, but I am learning at a very quick pace. I have a blog-style page where my forum is located. Now two things first; Is there a way that I can add an image into the (i believe its called) menu sidebar area of the page my forum is on? Second; is there a way that I can permanently rewrite the forum background color at all to a black background or transparent? I have a black background on my website and then this white box appears with the forum in it. Hopefully pretty easy stuff to fix/or alter. Thanks ahead of time for all the help!

P.S. Must add that I’m doing this all in a sub-domain visible to only me. So at best I can only provide screen shots.
Whilst I can see some of your concerns, there are no security concerns that bbpress will let your users access your wordpress site backend – none of us would use bbpress if it had backdoors like that.
You core issue seem to stem from
I had to install some bbPress code in my functions file to stop non-administrator profiles from seeing the WordPress main menu at the top of the forum.
Please explain further? or give us the code you used.
With that, in having to add code such as this I subsequently shut down my entire site due to adding code the functions.php file that it didn’t like. Not a good situation for me.
That is a wordpress issue, and if you are not good at coding you should not be editing files ion a live site. You really need a test site
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/testing-your-bbpress-installation/creating-a-test-site/
Yes you can set up a separate domain/sub-domain with wordpress and bbpress running, and just show bbpress in this site. BUT you can’t have this administered by the other wordpress site (well at least not at any level of understanding that you would have – you are not ready for multisite 🙂 )
So either you run one site or two sites. 1 site will not give you security issues if set up correctly in wordpress. 2 sites will mean lots of duplication of usernames, double updating, and more room for error.
I’d suggest you look strongly at the test site route – this will force you to learn about how a wordpress site is put together, which will allow you to do changes with confidence of more technical knowledge and no risk to live
Good luck, and do come back and let us know how you get on
But why have I to participant group, default from wordpress and other from bbpress. Is it rigth?
it’s not the default behaviour.
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
Hi!
Thank you for the reply. I just want to edit the wp_editor that displays when I click
“Topics” > “New Topic”.
I want to remove a couple of buttons of that editor, but I don’t want the change to be global, as I have a lot of other editors with specific parameters. This function works:
function my_format_TinyMCE( $in ) {
//styles for the editor to provide better visual representation.
$in['content_css'] = get_template_directory_uri() . "/build/styles/tiny-mce-editor.css";
$in['block_formats'] = "Paragraph=p; Heading 1=h1; Heading 2=h2";
$in['toolbar1'] = 'formatselect,bold,italic,underline,superscript,bullist,numlist,alignleft,aligncenter,alignright,link,unlink,spellchecker';
$in['toolbar2'] = '';
$in['toolbar3'] = '';
$in['toolbar4'] = '';
return $in;
}
add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'my_format_TinyMCE' );
BUT! It will affect and overwrite parameters to my other editors.
The Hooks/Filters in the documentation of bbpress work, but they seem to only affect when creating a topic/forum not from the wp-admin but from the actual bbpress page.
Any ideas? Thank you!
ok, so you need to amend form-topic.php
Presumimg you can use FTP and use an editor
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
So in form-topic.php you need to amend line 28 from
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() ) : ?>
to
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && (bbp_get_forum_title() == 'other' ) : ?>
This should then only allow new topics if the user can create a topic and the cforum title is ‘other’ forum
This is untested, but should work !
not quite sure what your questions is.
bbpress will assign the default role on first user login – that’s the way it does it – in effect if there is no role it gives the user then default. So when s2member creates the account, you may not see a bbpress role until they have logged in.
if that isn’t your question, then I’m not sure what you mean by
However, they still cannot access the forums because a subscription has not been created in s2Member
Isn’t that exactly what a membership plugin should do??
bit confused, but please come back and explain some more !
Hello Mr. Pascal, all. I changed my theme to default Twenty Sixteen and the forum worked as expected.
I was able to find the root cause of my issue in a incompatibility between Be Theme and bbp Style Pack.
Once I removed the template files, the style worded as expected. However I lost theme customization, so I need someone to tweak the template files for me.
– There is no major bug in bbPress Toolkit
– There is no major bug in bbp Style Pack
– There is no major bug in Be Theme
I have a incompatibility, maybe related with !important I can see back and forth.
To solve this issue, I have removed the template files from Theme Directory and started to recreate a new one, step-by-step, until I find the issue. (I also have a bug with verbal tense here!!)
Thanks for you attention reading this.
If you find a similar issue, please consider incompatibility with your theme.
Regards,
Celso.
Let me try to explain it another way. bbpress has some existing roles like, Keymaster, Moderator, Spectator, Participant and Blocked.
In the functions.php I added my own role (Globale moderator), with specifix capabilities.
When I set a user to my custom role (Globale moderator) he/she can’t read/see any forum/topic, only the root of the forum. When he/she clicks on a forum/topic, the 404 error page shows up, Oops! That page can not be found. Even when all capabilities are set to true.
When I set the user to an existing role of bbpress like, Spectator (or any other role of bbpress), the user can read/see all the forum/topics.
What is wrong with my custom role? Didn’t I added it correctly, or? I really don’t know.
ok – can only suggest it could be a theme or plugin issue

Glad to hear ! If you are missing anything bbPress related, just get back…

Hello again. I keep testing the forum and I found the images. They are working, but there is another problem: I must click a category to see the images. I need to “expand” the forum front page to display all categories… “open” with the pictures and small description.
I believe something is wrong with my forum setup, the bbPress toolkit is working just fine. I am close the target result, similar to http://www.24baby.nl/forum/
Hello!
I’m having some issues styling the buttons in the bbPress Topics/Forum section. My website contains a large amount of TinyMCE editors — some need specific styles and buttons. Assigning this was very easy to my custom editors, but I’m facing an issue when trying to customize the bbpress editor. None of the code I found in the forums seems to do anything to the buttons.
Here is a snipped of how I’m modifying my other editors. Since these are custom, Is easy to modify by just adding the parameters.
wp_editor(
$options['callout_body'],
'callout_body’, //ID OF EDITOR
array(
'textarea_name' => 'page_options_employer_guide_thrive_overview[callout_body]',
'media_buttons' => false,
'textarea_rows' => 8,
'tabindex' => 4,
'quicktags' => false,
'tinymce' => array(
'toolbar1'=> 'bold,italic',
'toolbar2'=> '',
'toolbar3'=> '',
),
)
);
The buttons that I need displayed in the bbpress editor are different from any other custom post type or options page editor.
I’ve tried every snippet I could find in the forums with no luck, no change. I tried to hook to the examples and add filters, with no luck as well.
I hope I’m clear enough to what I’m trying to achieve.
Thanks
Hello Pascal. I install the bbPress toolkit and the plugin concept is good, but I found issues I’d like to report.
1) The feature “Replace text Oh bother! No topics were found here!…” is not working. I wonder if the issue is because I am using pt_BR translation. I can see the same message (in portuguese), and my alternative text never show up.
NOTE: “Completely remove message and box for empty forum…” is working fine.
2) Display featured image in front of forum name, image width: 50px does not show any image. I see the featured image option in forum page, I loaded a icon-like image but no result.
3) I also have problems with some features from bbp Style Pack… Maybe a theme incompatibility? My theme is a premium one, to be honest with a good quality so it’s weird. I do not expect this kind of bug, I believe is something related with my site.
WP version 4.4.2
Theme Betheme 11.9
PHP version 5.6.18
bbPress version 2.5.8-5815
site url http://qnapclub.com.br/site/forums/
I think the problem is something else. Because, when I set everything on true, even the moderate, he still isn’t working. When I choose a predefined role by bbpress, it’s working fine. When I choose my own role, and set everything to true, he doesn’t.
Yes, this sort of hack would certainly work.
These forums aren’t *that* big. Why is this a problem? Is it a problem with bbPress?
Hello! My website currently has a forum for ‘news’ and a forum for ‘other’.
I want my users only to be able to create topics under ‘other’, but not under ‘news’. I do want them to be able to reply to both topics made in ‘news’ and ‘other’.
I tried setting the ‘news’ forum status to closed, and the topics under there on open. But it still makes users unable to reply on them.
Any way I can achieve my goal? Maybe with the help of another plugin?
I’m currently using bbpress with buddypress and the free version of the theme Quest.
I’m running WordPress 4.4.2, bbpress 2.5.8, buddypress 1.9 and Quest 1.4.1 (which are all the latest versions at creation of this topic)
Thanks,
Jasper
