I’ve hit a brick wall trying to figure this out.
This is what I intend to do:
1. Replace comments with bbPress Replies (can easily be done using with ‘bbPress Topics for Posts’ plugin)
2. Allow Guests/Anonymous replies (again done easily through Forums settings – “Anonymous posting”).
At this point I ran into problem. I only want guest/anonymous users to be able to post replies against “Topics for Posts” but not necessarily want them to create topic. bbPress doesn’t seem to have any settings for that.
So here I am, seeking community suggestions to do that. Help!
You can customize the <?php bbp_reply_author_link(); ?> and add more attributes to it like what is explained in this guide.
bbp_reply_author_link
The functions you found, show the default arguments set for the links.
bbPress 1x standalone is not going to work with any new WordPress plugins, unless you use custom code to allow it to somehow.
The plugin list labeled Legacy on this site, is for plugins that with bbPress 1x. The plugins section on this site, pulls plugins that work with bbPress on wordpress.org, are plugins that work with the plugin version of bbPress 2.
Your users do not really have to type a code?? They just they could just type regular smilies in text and it would output to the icon.
:) :( :P
Also I just told you, WordPress has smilies and emojis that you can use. The bbPress plugin can use WordPress’s library too. SO you may not need a plugin.
I am guessing you want something like a custom quicktag button that will show a dropdown of the smiles on your site. I can create a ticket for this if you want, and then we can see what the devs think of trying to add this to core.

If you have the bbPress plugin activated on your WordPress site.
Go to Tools > Forums, then select the Import Forums tab at the top, then in the forum platform dropdown select mingle forum.

Well here is the trac ticket for Drupal Advanced Forum.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2756
Any help toward creating it/leading us to the right software to test out is greatly appreciated.
Apologies about bumping the thread. I was new to the forum. I tried BBPress as standalone first and that didn’t want to work with the WP plugins. I then made it part of a WP Website, and that didn’t work for the smiley plugin WP-Monalisa. Suggest that it should at the very least be removed from the bbPress list of plugins as it is listed here. AND it didn’t work for my stand alone Website.
I really don’t want my visitors to have to type a code first before I see the smiley. I want it as one would find everywhere else in real forums. Without a plugin. I also don’t want to code it. WordPress is supposed to be for people who don’t have to get under the dashboard, preferably stay out of it. I spent probably a few hours last night researching this and I know for a fact I’m not the only one asking WordPress and especially bbPress to add smileys to people who make posts without having to load a plugin for it – or in the very least create a dedicated plugin by the developer of the bbPress that works at the time of downloading the stand alone software or WP Plugin.
i found it here :

mt theme is enfold.
and work like charm. and solved it
many many thanx
I already have WP Edit installed as I use it on the admin side. Is there any way to get the WP Edit buttons to show up in BBPress?
indeed.
I have a forum management philosophy with an existing group and give them access or not to a particular part of the forum.
but I have the impression that on bbpress with buddypress it’s not the same ? …
I have found that the following files have functions that might be making the size stick no matter what
From bbpress\includes\topics\template.php
function bbp_get_topic_author_link( $args = '' ) {
// Parse arguments against default values
$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
'post_id' => 0,
'link_title' => '',
'type' => 'both',
'size' => 80,
'sep' => ' ',
'show_role' => false
), 'get_topic_author_link' );
And from bbpress\includes\replies\template.php
function bbp_get_reply_author_link( $args = '' ) {
// Parse arguments against default values
$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
'post_id' => 0,
'link_title' => '',
'type' => 'both',
'size' => 80,
'sep' => ' ',
'show_role' => false
), 'get_reply_author_link' );
If someone could write me a function for just the size part perhaps that would work? I don’t know enough to be able to write one myself lol
Closing as this is a duplicate to this topic.
BBPress and the TruePixel Premium Theme
@bahamamom66
Why didn’t you post a link in your other topic, and why did you create another new topic for the same issue??
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-content-not-showing-up-on-forum-page/
Also I tested your theme out and have not come across the same issue you are having. I didn’t need to create a “forum page”, it just worked fine out of the box.
What was the content of the template?? It should be similar to the single-user.php template in the extras folder in the bbPress plugin, but you know molded to your theme.
I wish I knew today how to use the page builder with BBPress.
I don’t think you can or there is not really a point to, since you cannot edit all the topics in your forum or anything. Or it just might not work and break the bbPress layout.
Closest thing I can think of is to use a quote plugin like this, which when a user is quoted will insert an @user for each user quoted.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-direct-quotes/
Copy the bbPress templates into your child theme in a folder called bbpress.
Theme Compatibility
The files you may need to edit are in
loop-forums.php
loop-topics.php
loop-replies.php
For widgets I think that would only be in the widget settings, and not really a frontend thing. You may need to create a new widget with your own terms if it bugs you too much in the backend.
That crashed my sight for some reason. Any thoughts?
@tallsam
Did you place the code snippet I placed earlier correctly?? It seems to work fine on my test site.
Same thing goes for @pinkishhue‘s code.
These both work if you want to show only 1 revision log on the Frontend of your forums.
But first, is there going to be an update to bbpress that will remove the extra revision statements? If so, any thoughts on when this will be ready?
Not really remove the statements, but just make 1 visible. Have no idea when @netweb’s code will make it into core.
@tallsam
Do you want them all gone?? This topic is all about just having one visible on the frontend.
Also there might be a bug about the revisions somewhere I think. Haven’t fully checked that one out though.
But you can always disable the revision logging from being displayed in the forums in Settings > Forums, there will still be revisions on the edits in the backend though, since it is a post type in WordPress. And hide the existing revisions with CSS using the first half of pinkishhue’s code.
There is a way to limit the total number of revisions kept per post though in WordPress.
But if you do want to completely remove the revisions you can use a plugin that @casiepa listed, but this may remove ALL revisions of any post or plugin using the revision system in WordPress. Some custom css plugins may use it, and clearing the revisions may lose all your saved styles.
Did you make your forums hidden? Hidden forums are only seen by admins and mods
Did you clear any cache/do you think you set up caching correctly? Caching is a common issue that could cause issues for beginners?
Could there be a plugin/php code snippet you may have activated that may be causing this issue? A plugin/custom php code snippet could conflict with bbPress somehow.

I have just tried to load the wp-monalisa plugin and it turned everything in my Forums OFF.
What exactly did it turn off?? I have an issue where the smiley code won’t paste and that is it.
Was a bit disconcerting as when I logged into the Forum the forum index did not show and the links to the Forum would not work, nor the pages.
Link to your forum so I could see this. It may just be a bbPress theme compat/theme issue.
There must be a hick up somewhere as I don’t have anything special – just the BBPress Forum plugin and the Ultimate Member plugin.
I could replicate an issue a little with using a default theme and while having TinyMCE activated, and the default toolbar editor tab is the HTML one it doesn’t seem to work unless I switch to TinyMCE and back.
It does work with bbPress and how its default quicktags editor though.
@deanhills
First don’t bump up 7 year old topics, it is annoying.
Second that bbPress in this topic was a standalone forum software and is entirely different from the plugin version now.
bbPress can use WordPress’s supplied smilies.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies
🙂 🙁 😛
And even its emojis
https://codex.wordpress.org/Emoji
💀 👻 👽 😺 😸 😹 😻 😼 😽 🙀 😿 😾 🙌 👏 👋 👍 👊
Roll on 7 years and there are still no dedicated emoticons/smilies for BBPress. I’ve been testing the forum for use, but what forum on earth is worth its while if it doesn’t have smilies?
I tried the recommended wp-monalisa and ironically that completely disables BBPress when it is activated.
NOT impressed!
BBPress Version 2.5.8

This site was working fine but suddenly when a user is logged on it shows the forum name and the number of topics and replies but then shows the statement: Oh bother! No topics were found here!
When logged in as Admin everything appears as it should
I have deactivated and reactivated BBPress, made all the repairs, tried to build a separate Forum, all to no avail
Any Ideas please ?………. Oh and on the Forum Statistics on the Sidebar it still says Forums 0
Very grateful for any help.

Hi!
After a google search, it looks like, there is no way to edit the links/breadcrumbs, if you have a bbpress-forum in WP installed: Always there is a “forum/forum” in the breadcrumb/link.
HOW I CAN DELETE (Actualy) “ONE FORUM” ?
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
