I’ve been developing a threaded forum view for one of my sites which shows bbpress posts and replies from all categories. It’s not quite like recent posts as it shows the most recent post and replies threaded, then the next most recent post etc.
I keep running into the need to implement bbpress functions but I’m outside of the bbpress pages so I’m not getting the bbpress functionality. This keeps turning into a roadblock for me.
Perhaps I can create a NEW CUSTOM Page within bbpress to achieve the ability to utilize bbpress functions? Or can I call all the bbpress functions from my custom theme OUTSIDE of bbpress?
I am trying to figure this out. I will get it eventually.
Theme Compatibility
Thanks again!
Cheers!
I found GD “bbPress Attachments”
when I upload an image and edit the topic, the files are not visible anymore.
Is it possible to configurate the path of uploades images ?
Hello,
I am searching for a Image-Uploader for bbpress.
What is recommandable?
Best Regards,
Lisa
i can’t see and option in buddypress to upload anything.
See if this guide helps.

On this post is a simple way to add a ranking based on post count.
User ranking system?
Where it says
echo '<div class="all-stars"><i class="svg-icon one-star"></i></div>'
That is where you can add your images like this.
echo '<div class="all-stars"><img src="image source"/></div>'
Make sure they are different for each post count specified in the snippet.
You may need different CSS than what was mentioned in the post though.
Never mind, found my answer LOL just had to change one little bit 🙂
//* Change BBPress Breadcrumb Seperator
function filter_bbPress_breadcrumb_separator() {
$sep = ' / ';
return $sep;
}
add_filter('bbp_breadcrumb_separator', 'filter_bbPress_breadcrumb_separator');
Hmmm, that code works but when I add it the code I added to change the seperator stops working. And if I add the function for the seperator after the code you gave me that one then stops working lol
Here is the function I am using for the seperator, maybe they need to be combined somehow to work properly together?
//* Change BBPress Breadcrumb Seperator
function custom_bbp_breadcrumb() {
$args['sep'] = ' / ';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_breadcrumb' );
This is a known bug. This might be resolved in the next release of bbPress though.
There is a workaround listed in the ticket also.
A workaround is to select the topic(s) to restore and use Bulk Action to restore.

Does installing the Query Monitor and Query Monitor bbPress & BuddyPress Conditionals help you any find these out??
Sorry for the late reply.
Did you run the repair tools one a time in Tools > Forums??
Troubleshooting
I bet you just closed the topic as well and the color of the text is a gray color that is hard to see.
Use this CSS to fix that.
#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #aaa;
}
You do not have to use the bbPress shortcode for registration, you can use alternative plugins for frontend forms if you want.
Do users need to register with the forum first to see the content of a post?
bbPress by default has nothing that would hide the content of a topic post. It will make a whole topic hidden if the forum is private and the user is not logged in, and the topic and forum could also be hidden if it is a hidden forum.
If you want a menu item for registration you can create a custom link to the default WordPress registration form, or if you have another plugin that adds frontend forms you can link to that page if you want.
Question really is: how does a user of the educational material get to see the forum questions/posts?
It really depends on the LMS plugin you might be using with your bbPress forums really. By default though a sticky/closed post should be kind of visible, the gray is hard to see sometimes.
Sorry for the late reply.
I am not sure exactly how you may have gotten this issue in DIvi, I have never came accross something like this.
Only thing I can think of is that you copied the extras templates from bbPress and put it in the root of your child theme without editing the templates to match your theme.
Did you try running the repair tools in Tools > Forums one at a time??
Has this issue always been present??
Also here is some custom CSS to fix a weird avatar padding issue on your forums. Just add the CSS code into your child themes style.css file or anywhere else you can add custom css like in a seperate plugin.
#bbpress-forums .avatar {
padding: 0;
}
THe issue in the image is a common theme related issue. The styles for list items in your theme is affecting the list items in the bbPress forums.
I would give you a simple CSS fix, but you need to create a forum on your site, all I see is the notice saying you do not have forums.
If you want to create full width forums, it is pretty easy if you are familiar to editing theme templates. You just need a simple loop and the surrounding classes to style it all together. Sometimes full-width templates can be copied and renamed to create a simple bbpress.php file in your theme.
Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template
I say just stay away from using iframes for this simple task.
Use a plugin like this to hide any bbPress pages if the user is not logged in. It hides the bbPress feeds too.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-members-only/
And you do not have to make a topic private if the forum is private. Make sure to make the forums private by going into Forums > All Forums and editing them from there.
Edit: Just saw I pasted the wrong url haha sorry
Here is a function to show the You Are Here: text.
function rkk_breadcrumb_text() {
$args['before'] = '<div class="bbp-breadcrumb"><p><span class="bbp-breadcrumb-text">You Are Here: </span>';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'rkk_breadcrumb_text');
You may have to edit this function later if bbPress shows their breadcrumb items in a list though.
Hello everyone, I am new to bbpress and slowly working my way around lol
I’ve modified template.php to add the text “You are here:” to the breadcrumbs to match the breadcrumbs for the rest of my site, but I’d prefer to use a function to make these changes instead. The problem is I cannot wrap my head around the proper code and nothing I have found through searching has worked so far.
Can someone help me with this please?
My site: http://www.lissyhunnybee.com/discussions/
I have the latest versions of both wordpress and bbpress and am using the Darling theme which is a child theme of Genesis/Studio Press.
Thanx in advance 🙂
bbPress Version 2.5.8
WP MultiSite Version 4.3.1
I have bbPress plugin in a MultiSite. There is only one forum on a subsite dedicated to the forum.
I think all is okay – I am just confused. Everything works.
Problem:
I have a page I cannot edit, I don’t know how to access the edit. There is no content. It is what would be the landing page for all the forums?
Home/Forums/…
http://toni-esl.com/eslforum/write/
You can only navigate to the page with the breadcrumb menu.
I would simply ignore it, but it looks awkward.
Or maybe I have done something wrong?
Any input is appreciated. Please keep it simple, dumbed down.
Thank you
Hi Everyone,
I have just set up my first bbpress forum on my website http://www.whichinternationalschool.sg
However I can’t see it under the menu header and page I’ve created. I have checked visibility options and they are set to public, and menu headers/pages seem to be correctly done too. Any advice on why the forum isn’t displaying would be greatly received. Running twenty fourteen theme.
Thanks in advance. Elaine
Hello
I’ve a wordpress site with WP 4.3.1 with buddypress 2.3.4 and bbpress 2.5.8.
In the forum we have topics which are being used as profiles i wanna use the forum ranks as extra avatar.
I also want to add en avatar which can be uploaded by the user it self.
How can i do that with this combination or it it impossible?
I’ve search for plugins but i couldn’t find any one compatible with the current wp version.

@gene-stevo,
I didn’t see your review yet :-p . Just hope they serve (still work in progress)!
Enjoy bbPress.
Pascal.
So i dont wanna make a a social network. I spend too much time on BBpress so now it’s time to say good bye ?
I have just re-installed bbPress after looking at several alternatives as although it was the first I tried it seemed to be incompatible with the custom template I am having to use.
Link to screenshot
I looks to me that the forum needs a wider page in order to organise its components properly as they are jumbled up. The forum does work in that I can enter text – it is just a bit of a mess. I might even suggest styling is very minimal
I have tried making a full width page (no sidebars) and then substituting page name into ‘Forum root’ and it seemed to work BUT the forum was loaded with sidebars as before so no improvement.
I have read of a somewhat complex solution involving child templates and monifying style sheets but that seems dreadfully long winded and prone to error for a WP non-coder such as myself.
Is there an easier way to prevent sidebars from loading?
Or is there a way I can generate a page eminating from a different template on which I can load bbPress? The latter might give me a nicer forum styling too.
Is there a way to load the forum into an existing page via html/Js code for example – as an iFrame perhaps?
Thanks for any help – if it has to be the most difficult way then please say!
BBpress works fine, but from replies I can´t see about 1/2 inch on the right side. Testet with Firefox and Opera and Safari. (It works on Safari on iPhone.)
Please have a look.
