i think there is a setting to turn previous comments into bbPress replies in the discussion settings in the wp-backend > settings > discussion .

[Robkk]

I’d set these to show short excerpts only

is this an option in your themes settings??

but im going to assume your theme thinks bbPress is a blog post , adn that you should create a bbpress.php file and remove any unwanted code.

this plugin will help you find the right file to copy to create a bbpress.php file.

i see you also made a topic at BuddyPress.

i think Dan already helped you on this , but if you have any specific questions for bbPress you can ask away.

bbPress shouldnt have comments??

if you havent already create a bbpress.php file and remove any code for WordPress comments.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

this plugin will help find the file you have to make a copy of to create a bbpress.php file

[Robkk]

look at the subpages on the left too.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Robkk]

create a bbpress.php and remove any post meta code like by (author) published (post date)

basically your theme thinks that the bbPress archive page is a blog post so it structures it like so , it keeps the forum limit low as if it was an excerpt.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

this plugin will help you find the file you would need to copy and create a bbpress.php file from.

Further to this, I tried also installing it on a site where I have optimize member installed. It now appears that bbpress has created a user category called “keymaster” and has placed myself (the administrator) in that category. However, I am now unable to access my wordpress dashboard….. seems that bbpress broke the back end – I hope there is someone out there that can help me.

I have even logged in via ftp to try and clear any bbpress files, but there is no files remaining after deletion. thanks.

[alandc12]

When installing bbpress I am not directed to any setup page – instead, I am told that I do not have permissions to see that page. I am logged in as the administrator and running the latest version of wordpress. I can see that the plugin is installed, but there is nowhere for me to make edits and set it up. I have even tried heading to the /forums page, on my site, but nothing.

Any ideas?

I love the bbpress-simple-view-counts plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-simple-view-counts/). However, it has not been maintained in months. Could the bbPress developers consider integrating this plugin into bbPress and include a dashboard widget (or admin page) showing a list of topic-pages and their view counts? If such a feature is added to bbPress, can it be made to migrate the bbpress-simple-view-counts plugin’s data?

Wordpress 4.2.2
BBPress 2.5.7
Parent theme Genesis, child theme also by StudioPress

Need to make the content and reply body font size slightly bigger. Looks like it’s rendering at the equivalent of 5 or 6 pt. I tried theme Twenty Twelve with the same result. Styling for all other classes is fine.

http://pharmacytechnology.kryptonbrothers.com/forums/topic/complex-event-processing/

the class is “bbp-reply-content” – And same result for “bbp-breakcrumb.”

I see that these are set as 12px in bbpress.css which would be fine, so I have an override in place somewhere.

Is there an existing topic for this? I use Firebug occasionally but not often enough to avoid this post in the bbPress forum.

Thanks

Is there a way to restrict login and comments to the bbPress forum?
I do not want comments on my blog posts and pages. Is my only option to go back through each post and in future posts choose the “No Comment” box?

Thank you

HI

My embryonic site is at http://www.morebusinessnetwork.co.uk/forums/forum/general-discussion/

I have 3.9.3 (and I can’t easily update at the moment) and have just downloaded bbPress

I have created two forums that have no parents – ‘re-engage with out speaker’ and ‘more business network’

On settings I have forum root = forums and forum index as what should show.

There are two or three posts in each forum

At the moment the landing page is showing ‘oh bother there are no topics in this forum’- which isn’t a lot of help.

I’d like it to show a list of the forums, and a list of the topics in that forum (say the last 5 etc)

How would I set that up please – happy to provide anymore info.

Many thanks in advance

Edward

Hope this is the correct forum to post this request. We are considering a major platform change for our website, TheWorshipCommunity.Com (http://www.theworshipcommunity.com) – I’ll refer to it as TWC in this post.

TWC is built on two platforms:
The blog/articles are based on WordPress.
The forum is based on vBulletin, which is out of date, and needs major overhaul.

I’m strongly considering BuddyPress and bbPress. bbPress is a no-brainer because we HAVE to keep the forums. That’s where the bulk of our community exists.

So, my question is should we also use BuddyPress? I get a little confused on the difference between “Groups” in Buddypress and the forums … and “Group” forums.

I know that the vBulletin importer works because we’ve already tried it. I guess my big question is when you use BuddyPress and bbPress together … are the user accounts shared? Meaning … once we import all of our thousands of users from vBulletin, is there user accounts now created for both bbPress and Buddypress .. or is it still treated like two separate accounts?

I would be beyond grateful if someone who is experienced in both could look at our site and give some honest evaluation on if this combination would be right for our community.

Thanks!

Hi

I’ve recently installed bbPress. It works fine but it’s had an unwanted side-effect on the Category pages on the rest of my site. I’d set these to show short excerpts only, but after installing bbPress they now show full posts, which I really don’t want. Is there a way I can tweak bbPress to stop this effect. Can anyone help, please?

Best, Kit

I have installed the bbPress plugin and have managed to get the Posts into the Topics of the forum (using bbPress Topics for Posts plugin). But I can’t seem to bring across the comments to be replies from the topics? It seems to just remove the comments and not show anything, and in the admin side of things, comments become -1 where there was usually 34 which is strange cause they are still there… Deactivating the Topics for posts plugin seems to bring back the comments however. Any ideas? or does anyone know what the best way would be to Bring an already made wordpress blog into a forum style (along with comments)?

Thanks.

Hello,

I have trouble finding a solution for this problem. I am using bbPress with the Private groups plugin. All forums are private, with specific groups assigned to them. The content of the forums/topics/replies is sensitive and should be completely hidden from non-registered users.
However, topics and forums are still searchable through Google (I have managed to hide user info) and if a logged-in user logs out, he/she can now see topic titles of all forums. Example: http://superpsiholog.si/topics/

Is there a way to hide this information as well? I want non-registered users to see absolutely nothing about the forum and if possible to also prevent any information to show on search engines.

Thank you in advance,
Katarina

How do I change the text from “This forum contains xxx topics…etc”? I can’t seem to locate it.

Thank you.

I have had problems with yootheme on a project but have overcome them by simply ‘overriding’ ALL of the plugin files by copying them into the theme directory – not the directory for the ‘style’ as the warp framework calls it but the theme root directory. It seems you have to provide an override for every file to get all the different views working.

Just follow the process laid out in the codex:

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

And remember to override ALL the files!

[Robkk]

its not just for Admins , it could be useful to moderators in bbPress’s case , and also be handy for participant users if you have BuddyPress installed.

you can install this plugin to remove access for certain user roles.

WP MultiSite v4.2.1, bbPress v2.5.7, Plugin: Social Login

On this site, bbPress.org, and my own bbPress (sub)site, I notice that there is a menu item for Dashboard as a non-admin user. When I logged in as a non-admin user on my own site, I had access to my dashboard. And I was registered as a user for the entire MultiSite network. When I was in Documentation on this site, bbPress.org, I saw a submenu item for Dashboard. Dashboard is not a menu item when in the bbPress.org Support Forums – just ‘Create a New Topic’ is in the submenu.

I don’t like that. I don’t understand it. I only want forum users, nothing more.

I thought it was something I did until I saw the same thing on this site.

Please advise.
Thank you

[Robkk]

you insert this into a child themes function.php file or a functionality plugin

function rk_show_role_classes($classes) {
    $replyid = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
    $bbp_get_role = bbp_get_user_display_role($replyid);
    $bbp_display_role = strtolower($bbp_get_role);
	  
  
	$classes[] = $bbp_display_role;
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','rk_show_role_classes' );

this custom css you can put in your child themes style.css file or a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .keymaster div.bbp-topic-content, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .keymaster div.bbp-reply-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .moderator div.bbp-topic-content, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .moderator div.bbp-reply-content {
background: #f8f8f8 url(images/team-member.png) top right no-repeat;
}

now for this to work exactly like the other site , you can download this image from here, by right clicking save image as, then uploading the image to your child theme in a folder called images. Make sure its named “team-member”
