ok, bbpress use pages slightly differently.

Are you trying to get the sub page to show in the menu?

Hi All,

My site is http://www.buyineastvale.com

I am using the latest version of WordPress.

I downloaded the bbPress plugin to use for my site’s forum.

Now I want to add a page of Forum FAQ’s as a sub-page underneath the “Forum” parent page.

However, when I create a new page on my site’s back end and then designate the “Forum” page as its parent page and upload it, that page on my site then gives me a message on the front end when clicking on it that says “Sorry, no such page. It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.”

For the sake of this example, I created a page called “My Name Is” and assigned its location as a sub-page (with “Forum” being its parent page on the back end). And when clicking on the “My Name Is” page on the front end, I get the same “Sorry, no such page” message.

This leads me to believe it is an issue with bbPress (and not my theme, which is Weaver Xtreme).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you SO MUCH in advance!

Hi,

When someone marks his reply as private it’s properly displayed in forums (blue background and comment not visible to other users), problem is if someone is subscribed to that topic he will get private reply to his email. What can I do to prevent private replies being sent to subscribed members?

Is there anyway to add image to the BBpress toolbar besides the “img” quicktag? Im afraid my members on my forum will not know how this works or there image wont have a link. Right now i have the GD bbPress Attachments plugin which can make a user add an attachment but the problem is when someone adds an attachment it gets added to my wordpress media which I do not want. Is there anyway to add an image to the visual side of the BBpress toobar?

Hi! Why thing like hour or minutes in language it’s as normall srtring not as plural? Can we change that in bbpress? It’s very uncomfortable..

There is more I would have to write like identifying spam for moderation.

And also knowing the difference between human spam vs robot spam and what suggestions I listed in the guide would help fight each one.

Hopefully though it helps you fight spam in bbPress.

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/user-topic-created.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/user-topic-created.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Then modify or overwrite woth your modified file

admin and keymaster are two seperate things

If you are an admin (or someone who is does this)

go to

Dashboard>users>all users and select your profile and edit

Near the bottom, you’ll see your bbpress lkevel, set this to keymaster

bbpress doesn’t auto subscribe to new topics

try

topic subscribe

and whilst you’re there this is useful too

If you want to change it everywhere then put this in your functions file

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == ‘Forum’ ) {
$translated_text = ‘new text’;
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘change_translate_text’, 20 );

Is there a way to redirect bbpress user profile to wordpress author page? Can anyone tell me some hooks that can be possibly put in the function.php?

Your help is highly appreciated.

[DrCath]

Yeah!

@robkk

found the solution in one of your previous posts

No register or login buttons?

installed the plugin recommended and it worked!

I tried gd-bbpress-attachments but I can’t restrict file types.
Participants can attach a js.file for example.
Anybody knows ho to restrict attachments to certain file types?

Best wishes.

a user posted their way of getting this here.

How can i use my site roles to display in the forum instead of bbpress roles ??

[Robkk]

Try some troubeshooting and also double check in settings > forums in the Topics and Replies Per Page section make sure to set 9 replies per page.

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

You can try this but I don’t know if this would affect the other links from loading or not.

.forum-archive #bbpress-forums {
  display: none;
}

[Robkk]

You guys might need to hire a developer to design this for you. I think it would require a bunch of if statements.

bbPress Conditional Tags

[Robkk]

Try some troubleshooting , it could be a plugin issue.

Also I guess see if you set up the two themes the same.

[Robkk]

The ugly one is the default bbPress layout. Since I do not know how you go the other links below that I can suggest maybe hiding one of them with CSS.

[Robkk]

I am still not able to understand it. First I dont know how to create a child theme and second I dont know how to do what you are suggesting. I am also facing some issues with buddy press. The buttons are not displaying properly.
Can you suggest any other good community plugin?

There is no plugin to just fix it. bbPress is inheriting a template from your theme that is causing this issue. Since all themes are different creating a plugin to fix them all would be really difficult.

To create a child theme you can read this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

If you need help with anything , please tell me exactly what you need help with or at least tell me what you understand.

And what buttons are not displaying properly?? This is probably CSS so I could do this for you easily.

Also since you are using a paid theme (Canvas) , you might want to consider contacting your theme author for help.

I cant just do it for you for free, you can contact me through email if you want me to do it for you.

Thank you robkk !
This was exactly what I was trying to find/figure out.
Now I am wondering what other BBPress and WP URLs there are that I would like to use.
