To create a topic you choose the forum you want to create a topic in from the left forums list.

then you scroll down to the topic form.

to fix your issue.

#bbpress-forums .reply,
#bbpress-forums .reply:hover {
  color: #000000 !important;
}

try adding this to your functions file

add_filter('bbp_has_replies_query', 'modify_replies_query');

function modify_replies_query($bbp_r) {
$bbp_r = 'ASC';
return $bbp_r;
}

I’ve been working hard at setting up a site for my podcast and things had been going swimmingly, but while looking around at some RSS feed import widgets and such today, somehow I seem to no longer have working BBpress forums. It doesn’t seem like it would be related, but who knows?

The forums still show in my dashboard, and I was able to create a forum page by hand and get it to show the index with shortcode, but when I click on any of the forum links, it gives me a page not found error. It seems to do so even if I swap to one of the bundled 201x themes.

The RSS widget I was testing out is RSS Multi Import 3.15 and I’m running WordPress 4.2.2 with the Generate Press theme 1.2.9.8 and BBpress 2.5.7. Website is http://www.whitebookpodcast.com.

I’m a quite a newb to delving in to WordPress stuff, so I have to admit that I’m at a loss. Any thoughts on possibilities?

I have several issues on my site, including buddypress/bbpress and would like to hire someone who can problem solve possible plugin conflicts, etc. Where is a good place to go to find people who are available, not crazy expensive, and who can quickly fix what is wrong. Is there a job board somewhere?

suggest you look on/raise in

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[Shmoo]

That’s why I installed it.. Testing the code and by the time my forum is done bbPress 2.6 will be released I hope.
But still, a missing core stylesheet?

Some developer who has worked last on the code should’ve mentioned it don’t you think, maybe the developers have some fancy tool where they test/fork the alpha and beta versions with?
I just downloaded the latest version (trunk) of the trac website.

Hi,

Lots of plugins make this message appear :

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /srv/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3560

How could we correct this, it’s very annoying because even my functions (not related to bbpress) causes this !

For example, this code display bbpress error :

if (!current_user_can('update_plugins')) {
 	add_action('admin_init', create_function(false,"remove_action('admin_notices', 'update_nag', 3);"));
 }

[BenM]

In fact, I prefered to do iy myself. It’s not specific to bbpress and I’m very surprised that WP doesn’t have this feature natively.

For the ones who nedd this, here is my simple code :

function yournamespace_exclude_menu_items( $items, $menu, $args ) {
    // only hide items in front, not admin
    if ( !is_admin() ) {
    // Iterate over the items
    foreach ( $items as $key => $item ) {
      // hide menu items which leads to pages with 'private' status
      if ( !is_user_logged_in() && get_post_status($item->object_id) == 'private' ) unset( $items[$key] );
    }
    return $items;
  }
  else return $items;
}

add_filter( 'wp_get_nav_menu_items', 'yournamespace_exclude_menu_items', null, 3 );

yes

Hi Everyone,

Please, i want to make my wordpress site a forum website. so, have decided to use bbpress.

And i want my forum to look exactly like this forum (styling and everything)

So, have decided to use a template file.

So, can somebody help me with the php code and css code to make my forum look exactly like this one.

Thanks in anticipation.

[Shmoo]

I just downloaded 2.6-Alpha (trunk) version and installed it but the bbpress.css stylesheet is missing.

??

[PJ Brunet]

The trouble is, by default bbPress has a lot of bells and whistles (features) that will quickly clutter a small screen.

So it’s a lot of work to clean up the clutter and remove unnecessary design elements, borders, etc. Convert “px” to “em” and percentages. Use something like Flowtype to resize your text.

Here’s an example of what you can do: http://linkedexpertsalliance.com/forums/

I spent about an hour just cleaning up the boxes and borders bbPress draws around the text editor, which makes all of your editor buttons too small to press on a phone. You want that text editor to use up the full width of your device. I tried to make those buttons responsive but the problem is you need those buttons to be big enough to tap, like the “bold” button is tiny. In the end, decided to go with a fixed viewport. It’s just lots of little tradeoffs here and there that makes it frustrating.

Hello Ben,

Add this function to your functions.php file:

add_filter( ‘bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args’, ‘bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media’ );
/**
* Allow upload media in bbPress
*
* This function is attached to the ‘bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args’ filter hook.
*/
function bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media( $args ) {
$args[‘media_buttons’] = true;

return $args;
}

This adds an “Add media” button to the write panel.

Hello!
Tell me, please, in what file you can edit the сascading style sheets for forum on bbpress?
– To change the font size (too small).
– To change the order of sub-forums – that was a column (and not in line).

* bbPress version – 2.5.7

[bayan.assaf]

Hello,

Here is your solution:
Add the following to functions.php file in your child theme:

add_action(‘media_buttons’, ‘ml_pre_media_buttons’, 1);
add_action(‘media_buttons’, ‘ml_post_media_buttons’, 20);
function ml_pre_media_buttons($editor_id) {
if (!$editor_id == ‘bbp_reply_content’)
return;

$GLOBALS[‘post_temp’] = $GLOBALS[‘post’];
$GLOBALS[‘post’] = null;
}
function ml_post_media_buttons($editor_id) {
if (!$editor_id == ‘bbp_reply_content’)
return;

$GLOBALS[‘post’] = $GLOBALS[‘post_temp’];
}

it’s in

You could probably filter it by

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s.' ) {
	$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last giraffed by %3$s %4$s.';
	}
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s, and was last updated by %2$s %3$s.' ) {
	$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s, and was last giraffed by %2$s %3$s.';
	}
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s and %2$s.' ) {
	$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s and %2$s.';
	}
if ( $translated_text == 'This forum contains %1$s.' ) {
	$translated_text = 'This elephant contains %1$s.';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

in your functions file

I believe the following in your functions file should work

function no_edit_lock($retval, $cur_time, $lock_time, $post_date_gmt){
 return false;
 }
 add_filter( ‘bbp_past_edit_lock’, ‘no_edit_lock’, 1, 4);

I am importing data from a PHPBB3 3.1.4 installation.

Known issue that is being worked on.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2716

[netentry]

In a WordPress 4.2.2 installation, using bbPress 2.5.7, I am importing data from a PHPBB3 3.1.4 installation. Both PHPBB and WP4.2.2/BBPress 2.5.7 are on the same server.

The import of data (a MySQL database of about 95MB) includes ONLY “replies.” And those imported replies are added to the DB as posts, but those posts are not visible in the WP Admin (they can be seen using a DB tool like PHPMyAdmin). NO forums are imported.

Running Repair Forums tools all work successfully, except the following:

Recalculating reply menu order … No reply positions to recalculate!
Counting the number of topics in each forum… Failed!
Repairing BuddyPress group-forum relationships… Failed!
Counting the number of topics each user has created… Failed!
Counting the number of topics to which each user has replied… Failed!
Counting the number of replies in each forum… Failed!

Basically, so far, I cannot import any data from a PHPBB3 installation, except “replies”.

The PHPBB3 installation is fully functional. It works properly.

Based on the information above, who can give me guidance toward a solution?

Many thanks for your time.
Bill

@jonny5ive7

either one is okay as long as you put the bbpress.css file in a folder called css in your child theme , and the style.css from your theme is a child theme.
