This had got my head spinning. I have a new bbpress install, and have set up a login widget with a ‘Lost Password’ URI. I’ve also got a lost password page, with the [bbp-lost-pass] shortcode.

When I go direct to the page, or click on the lost password link, I can see only an empty input box, and a big ‘Reset My Password’ button. Do I have to do something else to set up the widget?

The page contents are mostly hidden in the css. The legend (which says ‘Lost Password’) is disabled (bbpress.css):

.bbp-login-form fieldset legend {
	display: none;
}

And the label for the input box is hidden in the template (form-user-lost-pass.php):

<label for="user_login" class="hide"><?php _e( 'Username or Email', 'bbpress' ); ?>: </label>

So, presumably some JavaScript somewhere should magically make all this appear, but it’s not firing, or I’ve just messed up. Any ideas? Note that I also have a lost password form in Woocommerce, but disabling Woocommerce doesn’t affect this. Thanks.

Content-aware sidebars works well with bpress, and can recognise forums and bbpress user profiles. However, I can’t see any way to make it recognise forum search results, so my sidebar menu changes when a user does a forum search.

Has anyone managed to sort this out? WP 4.2.2, bbpress 2.5.6. Thanks.

Stephen – I don’t know if this has changed since your post, but this isn’t great on bbpress 2.5.6, since it also affects the text for the topic subscribe/unsubscribe. Instead of seeing Favorite | Subscribe, you get Favorite (Subscribe). To fix this, you need to post-filter the args, and check before:

function sa_after_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args($args) {
   if(empty($args['before'])) {
      $args['before'] = ' (';
      $args['after']  = ')';
   }
   return $args;
}

add_filter(
   'bbp_after_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args',
   'sa_after_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args');

I recently installed the bbpress plugin on my WordPress website. The theme I am currently using is built on the Genesis Framework. The avatar image shows up on single post. However, where ever the small avatar image is to be displayed it doesn’t.

I have my show avatar settings enabled. I would grealty appreciate it if someone could take a look http://hunniemaid.com/forums/ and give me some insight on what the issue may be. Thanks in advamce.

Hey Guys,
I have a small problem.
I will use the hierarchical Style. For this option I create a directory on my theme called ‘bbpress’ and put ‘loop-forums.php’ into this. But it doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much in advance for your answer,
Tobi

Sorry for replying to this old stuff, but I have nearly the same problem.

When I use the bbPress slug /forum the page title becomes empty, only “Forum |” is displayed.
When I change the slug of the forums page the title is correct.

Please see the effect on the two identical pages:
Using bbPress slug – Title missing
Using custom slug – Title displayed
The forum is visible only for logged in users but you can see the effect in the page title.

Thanks
Chris

OK, after a long, painful day of multiple attempts, we finally successfully migrated our forums to bbPress. We’ve been on vBulletin for many many years.

We integrated with BuddyPress – the site can be seen here:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com

First Impressions:
Clean, slick, overall, a better design once we tweak the .css to make the forums (specifically) look better.

Performance: not sure if it’s a plugin or what, but overall performance is sluggish on both the Buddypress and the bbPress side.

Biggest Disappointment:
By far, the biggest disappointment and biggest feature request, in less than 24 hours of use, is the inability to find ANY plugin or way to easily let a forum user in bbPress show UNREAD threads/replies in one location. I’ve installed the pencil plugin, the “go to first unread post” plugin (which doesn’t seem to be showing up) and another plugin that puts a “new” icon next to a forum .. but that still requires one to click on each forum and dig through to try and find the actual new post or reply.

Someone PLEASE tell me that my 24+ hours of searching and scouring these forums and google results that a decent way to do this is out there? (w/o modifying core files)

@grantadmin

it is custom css , and its not in the bbpress.css file

it is custom just for what you want.

Add the CSS to any where you add custom CSS

like a child themes stylesheet
or a custom css plugin

[Robkk]

@sultanuddin

you will need to hire a developer for this.

one that has experience with WordPress , bbPress , and creating Android applications.

[Robkk]

it is displaying like this because bbPress thinks your forums is a blog posts because of some code that should be only for blog posts.

create a bbpress.php file

Hi guys,

The members of our bbpress forum would like to be able to search by user. e.g. they might want to search for all posts by a user named ‘member1’ that contain the text ‘sample words’. I thought they might be able to use search parameters somehow for this, i.e.

user:member1 “sample words”

Is there any way to achieve this in bbpress?

Thanks
Van

[greenhoe]

I’m not using any currently but I installed a few different ones just so I could see the roles and none of the bbpress roles appear under any of them.

[ew4055]

I used the Step-by-Step Guide to set up BBPress and it still isn’t working for me. My forum displays the forum names in a weird chunk of text, not in the nice layout of a forum, please help.

My website is here: http://swakpack.org/forums/

WordPress version 4.2.2
bbPress: 2.5.7

And no, I admit this does not happen with the themes Twenty Twelve etc. the forums look perfect on those themes.

[Robin W]

Yes, one is from your theme, and one from bbpress.

which one do you want to lose?

[usr79223992]

I went through the documentation of adding actions (https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-4/) and then I looked up the places within the code for the following 3 events:
– user registration
– topic creation
– reply creation
I see, that I could add code before and after the “submit” button, but that’s not exactly what I need.
I need to add an function call for ga.js directly to the button.

Example (this is the code line for the “submit new topic” button):
<button type=”submit” tabindex=”<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>” id=”bbp_topic_submit” name=”bbp_topic_submit” class=”button submit”><?php _e( ‘Submit’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?></button>
this must become:
<button type=”submit” tabindex=”<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>” id=”bbp_topic_submit” name=”bbp_topic_submit” class=”button submit” onClick=”_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’, ‘Forum’, ‘New Topic’]);”><?php _e( ‘Submit’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?></button>

How can I achieve this?

[sultanuddin]

I am new here, and i wanted to find out whether is it possible to have a forum discussion using mobile phone app.

What i really wanted is to create a forum in my website admin, then different users can follow my link, and also have forum discussions using there mobile phones (Android only). I have found out that there is reader option in android to search and follow your favorite blogs.

Looking forward for a Solution.

[Ricsca2]

He says that is not supported with the current version of wordpress.
Why this option is not defoult with bbPress?

Thanks

[GrantAdmin]

Hi Robkk
this may sound silly, but where to add this like on which page?
Just climbed through all the CSS files of bbpress and I couldn’t see anything that matches this to edit or where the right place to paste it.

sorry for the noob q’s

[fmckinnon]

Hey Gang,
Not sure if this is a setting, or an issue with our GrandMag theme (BuddyPress/bbPress theme).
Take a look at our forums at:
http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/discuss/

If you click around, you’ll see that a forum title appears twice:
Once in the regular black font, then underneath it in a blue font.

Same thing with EVERY forum thread:
Example:
Getting Aquainted – Introductions (in black)
Getting Aquainted – Introductions (in blue)

Any clue where this is coming from?

[aristotlewp]

Is there a way to force an email to all forum members whenever someone creates a new post or posts a reply? Basically, my client wants all members to get emails for everything.

Wordpress Version 4.2.1
bbPress Version 2.5.7

[Robkk]

Go through the troubleshooting in here.

Before Posting

Also know to disable caching for logged in users.

Since this is an odd issue I am probably going to ask you a bunch of questions to help find the problem if the above steps do not work.

[tarnvogL]

@Robkk

it is not the fault of the child theme, I deactivated it and used the default twentyfourteen theme, without any modifications. The problem still remains.

Maybe this information will help: In the backend, WordPress also displays all users in lower case letters. Do you think there is anything I can do to change this? Maybe it is not a problem of bbPress, but more an issue of WordPress..
