Looks like bbpress codes are not computing if they appear on a front page.

Reproduction:
1. Make a new page and name it foo
2. Enter the string “[bbp-forum-index]”
3. Check the preview of page (Everything should work as expected)
4. Save the page and publish
5. Goto settings -> Reading and set the page “foo” as front page
6. Call your site.

What should happen is that nothing appears on the page, except its title.

Versions: WordPress 4.3.1, bbpress 2.5.8
Wordpress is running in MU mode. Dont know if this is really an issue.

Man, this took me a million calls of that front page to get it. It might also have destroyed the structure somehow, as somtimes I had the impression that bbcodes did not work at all. This went away after using the restructure feature/tool.

With best regards,
Benny

Using WordPress 4.2.1, bbpress 2.5.8.

The problem I have it the following: (dots are spaces, eg. how many times enter has been pressed)

“Example post
.
.
.
Example post”

won’t keep its original spacing and gets squeezed into:

“Example post
Example post”

I don’t want to increase the default margins, I just want bbpress to recognize spaces in a post.

I copied the bbpress templates from the plugind folder into my themes folder.

And now they’re there!

[nilay89]

Hello Robkk,

I do not understand about it.Right now my bbpress Version 2.5.8.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
1. Just read item 17 on https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ . Or use a plugin like ‘bbP Toolkit’ or other to do it for you.
2. hmmm, I see a complicated way in programming this, but maybe somebody comes with an easy solution

Hello,

I have BBPress and BBPress Notify plugins. Below are my issues.

1. I want to Move Forum “Subscribe” button to the right. It is coming just after name of forum page.
2. I want to disable topic subscription. Only Forum subscription required. Is there any way to do it.

Kindly help me with some solution.

Obvious newbie, so thanks for any help.
Here is my first problem. When I click on the forums tile it goes to page not found.
When I try to create a page called forums with the forums slug, it renames itself to forums-2 or forums-3. To me this means forums already exists, but I cannot see it in my pages list.

Also, I need a easy to read guide? Any suggestions?

@tobias-claren

Is there perhaps a plugin for this plugin (bbpress)?
For simple moving the forum order with drag & drop

Not specifcally with bbPress, but for custom post types (bbPress uses custom post types).

[Tobias Claren]

Hi.

Near 2016, and the same “horror”.
The problem is, if I add another forum, I have to change the “order” number in all forums.

Is there perhaps a plugin for this plugin (bbpress)?
For simple moving the forum order with drag & drop.

[yufeng621]

In bbpress,I use <?php bbp_topic_excerpt() ?> to show the excerpt,but it can’t show the picture in the topic,how can I do that? Please hele me.

[meriadoc84]

I tried the code anyway and it worked after I realised that the bbpress forum pages were linking to the primary theme (iFeaturepro5) rather than the child version I have created. I really don’t understand that at all because the Child theme was the one activated at the time. The main thing is the side bar has gone.
Anyway, thanks for the help. A final touch would be to be able to reduce the size across the screen a little. Is it possible to change from full width to a percentage; say 80%?

[Robkk]

I just tested out the code and it seems to work fine. Make sure that you copied over the whole bit of code and did not miss anything. I put the code on a gist file so maybe it will be easier to copy over.

I tried Tiny MCE Advanced and it caused alot of issues – half of an individual post showed up in my black background – half in the “white” text area

Maybe this is a CSS issue?? Not sure really.

still did not allow proper showing of the above formatting (showed code when published)

The code fixes it whenever you make a new post, it might not work for existing posts that have not parsed everything, it might need to be republished on the old posts.

really a mess so I went back to WP Edit

I have come across an issue that was present using WP Edit.

Also – all buttons are working fine in my other areas (like Sabai directory) for front end users – just BBPress?

bbPress tries to be secure for frontend posting for users, so that they do not post harmful javascript. It might be a little too secure.

[Robkk]

You should be able to add information to the page you added the registration shortcode to. YOu can also copy the form-user-register.php file into a child theme in a folder called bbpress and edit it and add another notice or a description surround in paragraph tags. You can also create/edit a page-user-register.php file and put that in the root of your theme, and make sure to select the template for your register page.

I cannot really replicate the issue.

I am kind of thinking that possibly you may have BuddyPress activated and do not know that the plugin also has a frontend registration form that is created on yoursite.com/register.

[jessicana]

Hello

I have bbpress activated on two our of three sites on multisite.

On the second site, bbpress login widget shows login but it does not show register. Registration is enabled from the network settings for the whole network. Anyone can help with this?

I need the widget to show register and log in.

Thanks

@meriadoc84

It is specific to Point.

It would require a similar process to create the file/and the code in the file though.

I am sort of following this guide.

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

[opc0de]

Hello.
Do your project, your theme still works? Can I still download it?
I am developing a WordPress theme with roots.io/Sage and I seek a bootstrap theme that I could modify to bbpress.
Thank you very much.

[Robkk]

Are you using the bbPress v1 forums in BuddyPress and not the separate version 2 forums??

[Robkk]

@reedy

copy loop-forums.php or any other templates you want to edit to a child theme into a folder called bbpress and you should be fine.

Theme Compatibility

[Robkk]

Since I am sure your theme is using custom templates to have the edit/or replace the back to disscussions code with <?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>. It would be preferred if you copied the file you would need to edit to your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

[LNflam75019]

dear sir or madam

I have install BBPRESS.

Correction: problem NOT solved: I have my theme’s breadcrumbs, but not from bbPress.

thanks!

I’ve added BBPress to my site and for the most part it is fine. I’m using a genesis theme and I’ve got the bbPress Genesis Extend plugin too. One problem though – when looking at the forums main page and an individual forum (eg. ‘General Discussion’) some of the text gets squished up too soon when resizing the window. The text ‘Topics’ ‘Posts’ and ‘Freshness’ start overlapping because the content of bbpress gets too small too fast – leaves a big gap on the right too, between bbpress and the right column. If I make the window even smaller, the right column moves below which is fine. And of course if I make the window even larger its fine. But there is a range where it shouldn’t be so squished.

On an individual forum page, the text voices, posts and freshness get squished. On individual posts pages, the responsiveness works as expected.

The site is password protected so I don’t know how to post a url here, I have a screenshot, but don’t see a way to upload it.

I’m using the latest versions of WP and bbpress.

Any idea how to fix this? Do I need to edit something in the bbpress css file? If so, what do I need to edit? If not, how else could it be fixed?

Thanks!
Trisha
