I have a very similar problem and I must admit I have posted it as a seperate topic, but you guys seem so close to the problem (and solving it) that I trust it’s ok to post here as well.
I am using the Listify Theme and there does not fundamentally seem to be a default template that will work with bbpress. No matter what template I choose and copy as the plugin-bbpress.php template for example – it won’t work. Here’s an example of the page not working – http://tattsamistake.com/forums/
So….I built a custom page and put the shortcode in it – and the page works. BUT when I click thru to a forum, I get my navigation path which links to the forums page that doesnt work – ie the path shown is … Tattoo Removal Australia › Forums › Tattoo Removal
and if i click on ‘forums’ it goes to the non-working page – http://tattsamistake.com/forums/
BUT if i go and change the slug from ‘forums’ to ‘Tattoo-forum’ (the customised page that does work) it goes and applies a non-working template to that page, so in effect killing the page.
I guess to solve it I need the following…
1. A way to tell it where the forum short-code is without over-writing the page template
2. This may sound very silly but is there such a think as a generic bbpress.php template that I can use and upload to my site? Sure it won’t look like my site, but it would be a starting block.
3. Can I just get rid of ‘forums’ in that path, or at a pinch just get rid of that path from displaying completely?
Any help much appreciated!
I am using the Listify theme at http://tattsamistake.com
For some reason none of the page themes will work with bbpress (if I am wrong would love to know!)
So I followed the instructions on building a new page and adding the forums short-code to it. Even then it isn’t ideal but it will just about do – you can see it at http://tattsamistake.com/tattoo-forum/
If I click on any forum I then get presented with a directory ‘path’ to go back one page ie – Tattoo Removal Australia › Forums › Caring for Tattoos
The problem is – if I click on ‘Forums’ I go to the ‘default’ forums page that doesn’t work, rather than the new forums page that I built (that mostly works)
If I go to settings and change the name ‘forums’ to the same name as my custom-made forums page, it then overwrites my page template choice with the template that doesn’t work for forums – so it breaks the page
So in short – how can I get that ‘path’ Tattoo Removal Australia › Forums › Caring for Tattoos
to point to my working forums page, rather than a non-working forums page?
Hope this makes sense!
If they get the keymaster role make sure you disable registration til you get this fixed.
can you please answer these questions so i can narrow down what the issue might be??
has this issue always been there when you first installed bbPress?
did you import any forums and this issues has started?
did you install any plugins that modify s the capabilities of users?
is your default WordPress role for registration a subscriber in settings>general?
have you had a large amount of spam lately?
have you had any security issues lately?
Right now i cant tell what what causing the issue?? It is either some capability plugin settings that are messed up , or that you have been hacked??
How do your users register through your site?? Do they use the normal WordPress login forms, or do you use the bbPress shortcodes , or something different??
Also do you have multi-site??
well okay did you just change a users bbPress role from something to another but in your database it keeps the original role>>
do you have any steps for me to recreate the issue??
Nice to see that other people would like to see this as part of the standard set-up as @roberts-1 says… I am running the same versions using Momizat’s ‘Goodnews’ theme
I’ve just tried @undergroundnetwork ‘s code and it works great for me as an admin… but for some reason, the other users with lower levels of access, don’t get the same result – they only get WordPress results, none from bbPress.
Any ideas why? I’d really like to just have one search that does it all instead of one for forums and another for blogs etc.
Cheers
Hi, im having this weird issue where the members of my site copy an image on their desktop and paste it on the bbpress text box.
This is not an issue with bbPress , it is expected for it not to work since the url of the image is from the users computer.
Just give your users a place to insert images from the users computer correctly.
There are two plugins which you can use.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
and this if you have BuddyPress installed and do not mind the visual editor being activated in bbPress. this plugin also allows inline image uploading.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-forum-editor/
Where should I place this code? single-post-reply.php? Sorry, new to bbPress. Thank you for the response.
Problem solved. These are the lines I had to add:
#bbpress-forums #bbp-search-form #bbp_search {
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
-moz-box-sizing: content-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
box-sizing: content-box;
height:12px;
line-height:12px;
margin-top:2px;
}
#bbpress-forums #bbp-search-form #bbp_search_submit {
height:10px;
line-height: 10px;
-moz-box-sizing: content-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
box-sizing: content-box;
}
@-moz-document url-prefix() {
#bbpress-forums #bbp-search-form #bbp_search {
height:14px;
line-height:14px;
}
#bbpress-forums #bbp-search-form #bbp_search_submit {
height:10px;
line-height: 10px;
}
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-search-form {
height:20px;
float: right;
}
Update: I figured out that I needed to be editing the bbpress.css file in my bbpress folder, and that I needed to edit the following definitions:
#bbpress-forums #bbp-search-form #bbp_search {
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
}
#bbpress-forums #bbp-search-form #bbp_search_submit {
}
However, if I add “height:15px;” to both entries the result is that the boxes become smaller but the “Search” text in the button is cut-off completely, instead of re-positioning and/or resizing. If there is a way to reposition/resize the text it will work.
Hi, im having this weird issue where the members of my site copy an image on their desktop and paste it on the bbpress text box.
I really dont know how to be more specific, people open a picture with the Windows Photo Viewer and do right click on the picture, then Copy it and then go to my forum and paste it.
I tried doing it and the thing is that the image looks like its really there, but when you click “publish” that image transforms to the “url” where it was on the member computer (c:users/desktop/blabla.png).
Is there any way so i can disable this bug(?) or whatever this is?
I thought of disabling copy and pasting with javascript, but i prefer not to do it, i will lose more than i’ll win
I see the profile page of bbPress combined with BuddyPress has a “friends” tab, but is there anyway or any plugin to have a “follow” feature that shows who you follow and who follows you?
As a feature, you would get email updates on who you follow.
Like it, at first loved the slow/lazy loading effect but find it too much for all pages, perhaps on activity and feed page remove the lazyload.
For the rest an awesome theme
P.H.

Thanks @robkk, my bigger interest is having the reply-to author populate in the text box. That would be awesome so the notifications can be triggered. I am leery about posting jobs on there, I get a ton of spam when I have done so in the past.
Yeah it would be awesome , all i can do is reccommend extending the feature of @mentions when bbPress adds its own.
As for the spam maybe i shouldn’t reccommend that site anymore?? But you know what i meant though you can go to any freelance website you can find that has users experienced with WordPRess and bbPress.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .reply {

@juggledad
@robkk: Just to clarify something, the OR function_exists(‘is_bbpress’) was added (with some other code, to get around a bug that bbpress doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge or fix. see https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2723
Thanks for pointing that out, i did not know about that bug.
Okay with this bug in bbPress you cannot use the WP conditional is_single() to affect all of the bbPress pages, since for some reason there is a bug for single user pages.Thanks for creating the trac ticket, I tested out and see that yes it does not work on user pages. Over the next few days/week i will check it out and see I can come up with a fix.
But this bug is easily avoidable by creating a bbpress.php for your theme and just using the_content() instead of bfa_post_bodycopy() and removing OR function_exists('is_bbpress') from the bfa_post_bodycopy() function. The bbpress.php file also helps remove other post meta that might not be useful for bbPress forums instead of using CSS to hide them.
The OR function_exists('is_bbpress') you can keep in bfa_get_options.php though as i do not see any problems with that.
If there is something you can find on your end to fix the issue with your theme and bbPress then please drop an answer on this topic, because i haven’t looked and learned your theme 100% yet. Removing the function exists and creating a bbpress.php is the quickest solution to the problem that I could find.
@kitfreeman
This excerpt issue that you are seeing affects all of these areas
category pages
tag pages
author pages
archive pages
search result pages
and the home page
which is where all the excerpt theme settings modify.
sorry Friday through Sunday you can expect slow support responses.
it should be like that by default , participants shouldnt be allowed to mark topics spam, they can edit but for whatever time you have allowed in settings> forums.
you can answer these questions to help me help you.
has this issue always been there when you first installed bbPress?
did you import any forums and this issues has started?
did you install any plugins that modify s the capabilities of users?
is your default WordPress role for registration a subscriber in settings>general?
@fmckinnon
you do not have to be subscribed to the topic for it to be unread and show if i remember correctly, and its just the area the plugin developer put it.
that plugin should display a list of topics that are unread in the subscriptions area.
it should kind of similar to these screenshots here, it looks really different because the developer was using a custom theme.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-mark-as-read/screenshots/
if there is a way to use custom user meta in wp-query then i could just give you a snippet to add a custom view for bbPress that would list all the unread topics in one place , and you just place a shortcode in a page and all.
viewing unead forums is not part of both of these two plugins i think but you could mark a forum read in both to clear any unread topics in it.
unread replies go to first unread post shows which topics that are unread replies using that little [>] icon.
bbPress is inheriting .hentry and .reply styles from your theme.
you can add this custom css to fix it.
#bbpress-forums .reply {
margin-left: 0;
text-align: inherit;
}
#bbpress-forums .hentry {
margin: 0;
}
Hi,
I have WP 4.2.2 and bbpress 2.5.7.
When I put bbpress Login Widget into sidebar, it is not displayed properly. Widget fields are in mess.
The sidebar is 751px width.
Please do you have any suggestion?
Thanks
I am a little confused on how and when updates are included in the released versions.
Specifically, I am working on converting / importing a forum, but have run into errors, such as the sync table not being created. I do a Google search and find this –> https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2650 which states that the problem has been corrected. Great!
The problem is, the code shown here –> https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5525 is not included with bbPress version 2.5.7, which is the latest release as of this writing. Lines 1023 through 1038 do not exist (just as an example as they are only comments… I picked this as it was easy to spot and just for reference).
In fact, there are a bunch of things that are said to be fixed in the Trac (Thanks, Stephen), but they do not appear to be included with the official release of bbPress.
Am I missing something?
(Just a comment, but it would be nice to have version info in the headers of files as I cannot tell which version of converter.php is included with 2.5.7 without doing a diff on them and figuring it out from GIT.)
You must edit the file activity.php that is located at /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php
find // Get the activity stream item, bail if it doesn't exist
and apply the patch manually that i have given in post # https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-post-edit-causes-multiple-activity-entries/#post-160330
No, do you have any idea why i can’t see topics below Forum names?
What you are seeing is the list of forums, you then click a forum to see the topics for that forum.
if you want each forum to have then topics below it, then use shortcodes within a page
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
see
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
or use the shortcodes from
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/ in a page
Also i was wondering how i can order Forums by some hierarchy?
If not using the shortcodes above, then use dashboard>forums>all forums and edit a forum. On the right hand side you’ll see ‘parent’ and ‘order’ boxes that let you build a hierarchy
What i found is that this bug is because of your theme and not really bbPress.and no problem.
