Same problem here .. . all plugins except bbpress deactivated didn’t work out, also switching to twenty-twelve/twenty-fifteen didn’t work out …

[vpontin]

Hi all!
Its a pretty noob question, but i didn’t find anything related to my issue…

I added a quicktag to the wordpress default editor


function generico_quicktags() {

if ( wp_script_is( 'quicktags' ) ) {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
QTags.addButton(
'pov_generico',
'POV (Genérico)',
'[pov-generico]',
'[/pov-generico]'
);
QTags.addButton( 'pov_generico', 'p', '<p class="fala generico">', '</p>', '', 'Fala (Personagem Genérico)', 10 );
</script>
<?php
}

}
add_action( 'admin_print_footer_scripts', 'generico_quicktags' );


But this don’t show in bbpress reply editor. How can i add this there too?

[Antipole]

Firstly, thank you for responding.

I have disabled all plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress.
I have switched to the theme Twentyfourteen.

I still have a problem. Since simplifying as above, I have, signed in with admin rights, created a new topic in an otherwise empty private forum called ‘Domestic Water’. As that user I can read it etc.

I then log out and back in as Testuser2 who has site role of Author and Forum Role of Participant. When I select the forum ‘Domestic Water’ from the list in the side bar I get a screen as shown here.

Note that Private is repeated twice. The blue box is correct, saying there is one topic in the forum.
But I then get a yellow box “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

Your further advice will be very much appreciated.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Robin W]

try adding

# bbpress-forums content-area ul li {
margin-left: 0px !important;
}

to your child theme style.css

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Robin W]

can you provide a url to this – this doesn’t look like a standard bbpress page. Are you also running buddypress?

[Robin W]

The footnotes don’t work within the forums (even for me, as the admin).

Without taking time to install this plugin and test, I cannot of course see what the above means .
There are thousands and thousands of plugins and bbpress cannot be tested with all 🙂

If they work together then they are compatible, if not then probably not ! There may well be a way to make then work together, but you’d need to find someone to carry out this work. You could try the footnotes plugin author.

And, on a larger note: Does bbPress, by default, isolate itself from other plugins?

Sorry but I don’t understand your question.

[Robin W]

try

bbpress wp4 fix2

[Robin W]

forums should be fully functional for logged in users, so your issue should not be there !

A request for guidance from a bbPress newbie, who has searched for help and tried various plugins but not found a solution.

I am setting up a WordPress site (V4.2.2) with bbPress (v2.5.7). I want most forums to be browsable by registered logged-in users but not by the public. A logged-in user should be able to subscribe to a topic without admin approval, so they can contribute and get notified of new discussions or comments.

If I make the forum Private that seems to stop unsubscribed but logged in users from seeing the forum. I need something like a ‘Logged-in users’ permission.

Any guidance on how to set this up will be much appreciated – thank you.

Best Regards

I added some css in the custom css plugin, in order to get my bbpress forums full-width (drawing the code from an example in these forums). Success! or so I thought.

But not quite. Now, the “members” pages associated with the pulldown menus at the upper right are “too long”–text entry/text display boxes run over into the space of my right content sidebar. When I deactivate the css plugin, my problem goes away.

(WP 4.2.2, bbpress 2.5.7, Buddypress 2.2.3.1; theme is TwentyFourteen; I was able to see the same problem previewing 2013.)

Here’s the css in question:

.site,
.site-header {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
	background: none repeat-y right 0;
	padding-right: 0;
}

.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, 
.page-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.form-allowed-tags {
	display: none;
}

div.bbp-breadcrumb, 
div.bbp-topic-tags {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

.bbpress .hentry {
	margin: 0 auto 48px;
	max-width: 100%;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {
	.bbpress .site-content {
		margin-right: 0;
		margin-left: 182px;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1080px) {
	.bbpress .site-content {
		margin-left: 222px;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1218px) {
	.bbpress .site-content .entry-content {
		margin-right: 0;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 673px) {
	.bbpress .site-content {
		margin-right: 0;
	}
}

Can anyone help? I’d love to keep the full-width forum pages, but if it messes up the member pages, it’s a deal breaker…

I followed the advice under: Using bbPress Forums with BuddyPress Group Forums

It is possible and quite powerful to use both bbPress sitewide forums as well as BuddyPress Group Forums. A few caveats apply in order to ensure an easy setup:

1. After installing and activating bbPress, please go to your admin dashboard under “Pages/All Pages” and find any page using the slug of “forums”.

2. If such a page slug exists, as would be normally be the case if you first installed BuddyPress, it is recommended that you delete this page so as to free-up the use of the “forums” slug for bbPress.

3. Be sure that you also empty the trash of this “forums” page to free-up the slug.

4. You can then create a new page slug for BuddyPress Group Forums, using a different name. Eg: “Group Forums”.

5. After creating a new page (Eg: “Group Forums”), go into Settings/BuddyPress/Pages and choose this new page to act as the placeholder for BuddyPress Group Forums

6. Finally, go to Settings/Permalinks and click “Save” to ensure that you update your permalink structure

All was going well until I got to Step 6 and when I saved it crashed the wp-admin. I have spent two days attempting to fix the problem to no avail.

I have to turn off User Groups in Buddypress to get bbpress to load. When I turn on the User Groups and set the Group Forums at Settings/BuddyPress/Pages it crashes. Then I have to FTP Delete the bbpress and change the settings back in order to reload bbpress and take another run at it. Something is wrong.

I am using bbpress 2.5.7, BuddyPress 2.2.3.1, with the BuddyBoss Theme and Child Theme and WordPress 4.2.2. All other plugins are deactivated.

Any suggestions?

[tarnvogL]

@andrew55
bbPress should do this now by default like this site has it.

@robkk for me it doesn’t :/
any suggestions why?

And a year later I must add my thanks- I also have been able to use all this so that it works nicely, including the additional location field and with both website and/or location showing in the profile only if it is filled in…

Getting the location to show in the profile properly took a little more than the changes Steven mentions making to Robin’s code… For anyone else who might come this way here is all of it put together…

/* Add Location field to bbPress user profile page.
 */
function ntwb_user_contact_methods_location( $user_contact ){

	/* Add user contact methods */
	$user_contact['location'] = __('Location');

	return $user_contact;
}
add_filter('user_contactmethods', 'ntwb_user_contact_methods_location');

/* Show Location in bbPress user profile.
 */
function user_profile_bbp_location_information()	{
//this function adds the location to the profile display menu
	$location=bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'location' ) ;
	if ( ! empty($location) ) {
		$label1 =  $rpi_options['item1_label'] ;
		echo "<p>" ;
		printf ( __( 'Location : ', 'bbpress' ));
		echo $location;
		echo"</p>" ;
	}
}
add_action ('bbp_template_after_user_profile', 'user_profile_bbp_location_information') ;

/* Show website in bbPress user profile.
 */
function user_profile_bbp_website_information()	{
//this function adds the website to the profile display menu
	$url=bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'user_url' ) ;
	if ( ! empty($url) ) {
		$label1 =  $rpi_options['item1_label'] ;
		echo "<p>" ;
		printf ( __( 'Website : ', 'bbpress' ));
		$url='<a href="'.$url.'">'.$url.'</a>';
		echo $url;
		echo"</p>" ;
	}
}
add_action ('bbp_template_after_user_profile', 'user_profile_bbp_website_information') ;

hi!

On default, bbPress displays all usernames in lowercase letters.
How can I display the upper case letters for all users?
I already searched in some topics for the answer, but haven’t found anything useful.

Thank you!

[Blaze Miskulin]

I have Footnotes installed on a site which uses bbPress. The footnotes don’t work within the forums (even for me, as the admin).

Are these two plugins incompatible? Is there a simple, sustainable way to make the Footnotes plugin work within the forums?

And, on a larger note: Does bbPress, by default, isolate itself from other plugins?

[DealL]

Hi!

I am planning to create a new forum website using bbPress. I want to change / add / remove topic headings. Since, I am yet planning I will use latest versions of WordPress and bbPress

eg;

instead of : Topic, Voices, Replies, Freshness

I want : Posts (Number of replies to the topic) Views (number of views) Posted By (Name /username of topic starter) Latest Reply (latest reply by + minutes ago)

I even want to add a few more headings like catagories

Thanks a lot for the help 🙂

[VeeLow]

I’m in the same boat as ChecMark: starter-theme appears to do literally nothing to my bbpress forum.

I note that instructions upthread are ambiguous: one guys says you need to put it into root of theme, not child theme; another guy says put it in child theme. I tried it in both, using twenty fourteen and a child; I also tried it in a basic twenty-thirteen. Nothing. I can see the folder, and move it around with File Manager, but no matter where I put it, it seems completely without effect!

I’m a rank beginner, obviously. What could be wrong?

New user:

I’ve recently installed bbpress on my wordpress website.

The freshness/voice columns look out of shape, how can I fix this?

Here is the link: http://worldinsport.com/forums/forum/sports-general/

Many thanks

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

The plugin comes to wordpress org! Checkout https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-permalinks-with-id/

Right now without auto flushing rules 😭

[kitfreeman]

Hi Thanks for your reply. Yes, there’s a theme option to show extracts only, but it only works when the bbPress plugin is deactivated. Does the advice you’ve given still apply? Thanks again.

[amckinnell]

Hi there,

I am still seeing this issue in version 2.5.7 where notification emails are displaying all the email addresses in the bcc field. This is becoming an issue of privacy for my members. I raised this topic before, and someone said they were working on it, but then just closed the topic.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bcc-field-in-notifications-is-visible-to-users/

I have asked my webhost and they say it is not a server issue. Can someone please help?

Thanks.

Anne.

@robkk , thanks. Actually, I had written some code like that for my website late last night. The result can be seen in action at http://dcjtech.info/forum/articles/operating-systems/linux/ . I even figured out how to migrate the bbpress-simple-view-counts data to my implementation. The migration was easy (a few SQL queries via phpMyAdmin) and not at all complex as other developers thought (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sync-with-simple-view-counts).

I installed bbPress as a plugin, so I have a WP blog I do not want commented.
The documentation is easy to understand, but difficult to navigate/search for me.

Thank you very much.
Cheers!
