This fixes the list issue.

#bbpress-forums li {
    list-style: none !important;
}

I created a user called “deleteme” and I see the issue you are talking about.

Do you have multisite enabled or at least a subsite for testing.

the wp-login.php page leads to yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php instead of just yoursite.com/wp-login.php.

Check it out right now to see if I am even a user to just the yoursite.com site. If I am see that I am even have a forum role like participant.

The redirect to the home page is because of some piece of code in bbPress for the frontend login forms. You can easily fix this by setting it where Admins can go the Admin and other users redirect to the home page using the plugin you have already installed.

Does it ever get maintained or at the very least, moderated?

it seems plenty of Plugin developers are almost “gaming the system”, it is already hard enough to attract new people to your plugin before you have developers committing readme changes into the recent stable tag, e.g adding a period/removing a period from the end of a sentence. (which, to those unaware, causes their plugin to shoot to the top of the bbPress plugins list almost as if it has just received an update… wherein fact it hasn’t.)

Not to mention the amount of plugins that are in no way related to bbPress, yet still use the bbPress tag?

It doesn’t seem like the plugin guidelines are enforced much either, since every single plugin seems to have a boatload (30+) tags attached some of which aren’t even relevant.

(And to name and shame, here’s one: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Flogin-page-styler&old=1263429&new_path=%2Flogin-page-styler&new=1263429&sfp_email=&sfph_mail= – most recent change to the stable tag was to remove a period from the readme… really? Note, this plugin has a free and premium version… I wonder why it is being bumped constantly…)

It is just frustrating to see this going on in all honesty. The WordPress Plugins page doesn’t suffer from this as it doesn’t display the plugins in a list form.

I think there is an issue with the bbp_make_clickable() function that is causing this especially the part that leads to the function _make_url_clickable_cb() in WordPress.

bbp_make_clickable() is in

\bbpress\includes\common\formatting.php

bbp_make_clickable

_make_url_clickable_cb() is in

\wp-includes\formatting.php

_make_url_clickable_cb()

Will make a trac ticket once I gather the information to write down.

Does your SEO plugin allow allow you to edit the titles and descriptions of custom post type archives? Most SEO plugins do. And in them you look for forum archive to edit the front page of the forums.

Here is the bbPress conditionals if you are using something custom.

I think it will release when it is finished, so there isn’t exactly an ETA.

Most of the performance tickets/performance improvements headed into bbPress are definitely holding back the release date, and I always see the devs find new areas to improve performance drastically too and that pushes it back even more.

[Robkk]

You can try this instead. This hides the “this forum contains … topics… and” description that is blue on top of forums.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', '__return_false' );

You can try this CSS for the reply/topic form text areas.

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

Anything else you want on this site I am sure there has already been a topic about so searching the forums might be best.

@lfeddern

If I remember correctly I think this allows you sort replies in a topic on a per forum basis.

I tried plugins and reading other posts on here but nothing seems to work. I’m using the DIVI theme with my bbpress and can’t seem to remove the “Forums” page title. I want to remove the table and take out that gap that is there. It just seems unnecessary. Is there a way of doing this without modifying any crazy files?

Closing this in favor of your other topic.

I am starting to think that filter may not be the best way to translate content. It was widely used though and was recommend a few times in these forums.

The dangers of the gettext filter

While trying to find the bbPress string swap plugin that was a bbPress plugin that use to do this exact thing fine. I came upon this that lead me to find the alternative to the gettext filter and using global $l10n;

https://github.com/justintadlock/hybrid-core/issues/49

Here is an example with BuddyPress and I am sure there is a way to make this kind of thing work with bbPress.

This might be custom development for now. You may need to hire a developer for this type of functionality.

Here is a guide to help people create custom user roles with custom capabilities.

Custom Capabilities

The whole each user gets a private forum thing could be possible in the plugin bbPress Private Groups but I am not entirely sure. Having specific roles have their own forum is possible with the plugin though, a group of users not sure about just 1 specific user to each forum.

Upgrading the role after they have done something is custom development also.

[Robkk]

Does this CSS help any?? If it doesn’t add !important to it.

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper textarea.bbp-the-content {
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

For this ticket, I have the logic on paper what is needed and part of the code already in one of my projects. But need to finish some stuff for the association first.

For the participation part, I’m helping in the forum and will stick to that for now. But any bbPress developer can have a look at my code of course to get inspiration 🙂

But we can have a chat about it, no problem.

Any contributions to that ticket would be much appreciated.

Any other participation in the bbPress project would be much appreciated also.

You can also try something like this too.

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea, 
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form select, 
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;

bbPress currently allow a user to subscribe to topics and forums. I can’t seem to find anyway for a logged-in user to subscribe to an author. Is this something that can be added later?

There’s a plugin called: “Wp Author Subscribe” but it doesn’t render correctly on TwentyFifteen theme.

Thanks.

Hello bbPress Users,

Recently I’ve been wanting to create a bbPress forum on my WordPress website. I was able to successfully install the plugin through WordPress, create a new forum, set Settings, etc …

However, I simply cannot login to the new forum I’ve created (The forum looks awful right now, but I’ll worry about that until AFTER its functional): http://epochgames.co.uk/forums/forum/test/

Try yourself to register (which I’ve had no problem with: I receive the registration email, and have seen my account appear in WordPress Dashboard settings related to Users), but then try logging in … when I try logging in, I’m taken back to the same page, with the same login box, and unable to post. And yes, there is a thread there, but I was only able to post it after checking “Allowing guests to post” in Settings, which I’ve since disabled.

I even downloaded Peter’s Login Redirect plugin, and tested my forum account to redirect to a different page on the domain after login … and it does redirect, but I’m still not logged in! Really weird, right?

Also I’ve noticed that when trying to login to WordPress via the wp-login.php page redirects me to the main page, instead of the Dashboard. Thankfully, I am logged into it and can access the Dashboard, just need to use the Dashboard URL. When I disable the bbPress plugin, the WordPress login properly redirects to the DashBoard.

Any ideas what could be wrong? I am definitely a WordPress Newbie, so it could be something simple, but I’ve not found a topic in this problem with this same problem, I’ve skimmed through the FAQ and found nothing about this … any help would be great.

Hi,
Just so you don’t feel lonely, it seems similar to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/you-must-be-logged-in-to-reply-to-this-topic/ that I’m trying to understand …

You are not on CloudFare, are you ?

Hola Sole29,

I must admit I don’t know Private Content, but from what I can read on their website, they have a ‘wordpress user system sync’. This should sync the users to wordpress.
Once they are wordpress users, you can grant them rights for bbPress.
That would be my way to go…

I would propose to check with Private Content, because I fear it has to come from that side.

Pascal.

[mica123]

I would like to add that I have just now set up bbpress quickly on another live site hosted by another host to see how it would behave and there were no problems.
So it looks that the fault is on the server side? If so, how can I persuade the webhost to deal with it in more detail? All they said was that it looks that there is no caching on the server we use.

Wordpress: 4.3
Theme : Bridge 7.5

Hi bbPress!
I have a site with two registration types.
One for instructors user ( by wordpress registration ) the other for Student users (Private content registration – plugin).

I would like a forum where only registered user can partecipate.

There is a problema: The Private Content plugin has a registration that is completely different to the WP login system.

When I login with studente user I can’t reply or create forums.

The students users haven’t capabilities…

what do you recommend ?

Hi
I’m trying to convert a large PHPBB forum to bbpress using the built-in importer. It fails and I’ve been investigating why and looking for a solution. I keep coming up against “it will be fixed in 2.6” but I can’t see any eta for the next version being rolled out. Any update available?

Hello there.

I want to use conditionnal tags in order to display some details. The main page (frontpage) of the forum uses a WordPress page but doesn’t keep the content nor the details (SEO details such as meta description).

I want to add some details (content and meta values). I want to make some conditionnal tags and I need to know how I can do.

I checked this forum and Google to know if I can use, with an if, is_bbpress or is_frontpage, but no answers solved my problem.

How can I force anything to be displayed where I want in the main page of the forum? Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Thibaut.

Hi @devyncjohnson,

I see nofollow adding for bbpress on the following places:
– line 344 of wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/functions.php
– line 1703 of wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php

Also check:
– line 298 of wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/formatting.php

Maybe you will find what you look for.
Pascal.
