Welcome.

When I disable the jetpack plugin, the menus are showing up, but:

Still there is issue with showing up topics.

Yesterday, the menus have been showing up with the jetpack plugin enabled.

When I have installed the plugin (bbpress) a few days ago, the menus has not been showing up, I read that I have to install User Role Editor, I installed it, activated and it worked (since then the menus has been showing up). Until yesterday.

So I do not think there is issue with the jetpack because yesterday they (the menus) have been working with the jetpack plugin enabled.

Maybe there is issue with user role?
I would like to give you access to my dashboard, so you can take a quick look into an issue.

@Robkk

Thnx, bbPress Pencil Unread works fine.

I enabled the “add media” button in bbpress through bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab plugin(by enabling “Fancy editor media upload”), and i can see the button in the forum, however i got error when trying to upload a picture:
“You don’t have permission to attach files to this post.”

the site role is Author while the forum role is Participant.

I can add media if in wordpress, and I can also add media if the user is changed from participant to Keymaster.

the code is in ajax-actions.php, however, if i remove it i got “HTTP error.”

        if ( isset( $_REQUEST['post_id'] ) ) {
                $post_id = $_REQUEST['post_id'];
                if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ) ) {
                        echo wp_json_encode( array(
                                'success' => false,
                                'data'    => array(
                                        'message'  => __( "You don't have permission to attach files to this post." ),
                                        'filename' => $_FILES['async-upload']['name'],
                                )
                        ) );

                        wp_die();
                }

[inventorgeorge]

The topics are just about, Ok, a little small, but the replies are unreadably small. How do I change These parameters so people can read what has been posted?

WP 4.1.1
bbPress 2.5.6
site is chameleon-business-systems.com, theme is Expressions

Thank you for any/all help

[Robkk]

it probably could be done with any unread post plugin but here is two that have that exact kind of feature.

[Robin W]

sorry that feature is not in bbpress.

[sajjad]

Hello.
I want to use bbpress for my support forum.
Which way is better to use for increase SEO and rank of main site?
1- use bbpress in a subdomain? (http://support.mysite.com)
2- use bbpress in a folder? (http://mysite.com/support)

If i use bbpress in folder, google think it is for main site or separated site?

[Robin W]

Why does the Codex not have these details available to the user?

Unfortunately good coders tend to be rubbish documenters ! I’m just a user of the software I wrote a fair amount of the codex as I was building my first bbpress forum two years ago, when the codex was open for all to contribute. Unfortunately spammers put pay to that, and now only certain people have access.

but does that not indicate a design flaw within bbPress itself?

The authors had given a way to switch the code off, and a flaw depends on how you define it. Many themes work perfectly well without the need to create a bbpress.php, so putting it in the plugin is a more logical area – maybe? Anyway not my cause to argue, I just use the software !

If I ever get the time, I would be more than willing to write up what each template file does within the codex.

Would be fantastic of you would, send it to me via my website on http://www.rewweb.co.uk and I’ll happily add it to help others, and credit you !

Glad you got fixed in the end !

[Jake Hall]

Hey Rob,

Thanks for that. Why does the Codex not have these details available to the user? I see countless posts on here with people requesting how to do this, and those that help suggest a wide variety of solutions which, in my opinion, aren’t the right way to do it. I guess its the easiest way though, as it avoids the user having to edit 20+ files to remove the breadcrumb, but does that not indicate a design flaw within bbPress itself?

I’ve essentially fixed that flaw within my installation by removing the breadcrumb in all templates, and adding it to the bbPress.php file. One place to edit, one place to remove – instead of twenty!

If I ever get the time, I would be more than willing to write up what each template file does within the codex.

Dear,

I always used SMF on my Joomla website, but now i have a new website build with WordPress and i house bbPress. But i have a problem.

If someone post a new topic or new message, i saw i small icon to let me now that i have a unread message in that topic.

But in bbPress i don’t see it, how can i fix this? My website is http://www.linksquest.nl

[Robin W]

hmmm

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

[curvemeister]

Hi again,

Here is an improved version of the SMF to bbPress script. This version supports additional, non-image filetypes, and has more safeguards against inserting attachments multiple times if the script is interrupted and restarted. Since I am not yet savvy in the ways of submitting source code to the forum, I am cutting and pasting, which seems to butcher the syntax horribly…

Many thanks, again, to Stephen.

I presume you want rid of the one to the left of search ?

that should be in

bbpress/templates/default/bbopress/content-archive-forum.php line 24 in 2.5.5

[Robkk]

I did open Filezilla and I searched for “cache” — I found a cache.php file, but I didn’t even attempt to go mucking about in there!

yep , dont edit files or delete any files you might cause another issue with your site.

I’m a little glad to hear that you’ve possibly had a similar problem; maybe I can ask some other people on the site to try out different browsers and see if I need to go clean out my CPU cache.

something like it , im sure its common too , like i said i dont remember 100%

If you have a chance to add more classes to the CSS code, I would be extremely grateful. I really appreciate the time and effort you’ve spent on my issues.

i tested with your theme and this seemed to work.

.bbpress span#favorite-toggle a,
.bbpress span#subscription-toggle a {
	color: #000;
}

.bbpress span#favorite-toggle a:hover,
.bbpress span#subscription-toggle a:hover {
	color: #707070;
}

[Robkk]

@davidnsfw

alright since i think your site has jetpack installed

make sure you have the custom css module activated in jetpack .

now go to appearance > edit css

copy this code into your custom css editor.

.bbpress .post-section {
  margin: 0 2% 20px 2%;
  width: 96%;
}

.bbpress #content-main {
  width: 100%;
  margin-right: 0;
}

hit save

check and see if it works

if the code does work, reply back on here that it works now.

if the code doesnt work i need to see if any Custom CSS on bbPress would show . so copy and replace my old CSS code that you just previously pasted

with this code

.bbpress a {
  color: red;
}

now see if your links on your forum are red

if it turns red, reply back here that your links are red and that i need to add more classes to your original CSS so i could make your forum full width.

[mel77]

Hi Robin, thanks for your help.

It turned out to be a theme issue. I managed to fix it by using the 2nd option in part 3 of your guide “Creating a forum page”: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/

[Jake Hall]

Hi Rob,

Can’t show a live link since it is not currently live.

Here’s how it looks:

Essentially, can you see the breadcrumb inside its own content box? that’s what I have added manually. That is where I want my breadcrumb, it looks much better separate from the forum content.

However, the breadcrumb then also appears within the forum root / home page.

I was able to edit this out in every other page via the user of template files found in /bbpress/templates/bbpress and /extras, however, I have been unable to spot a template which I can edit for the forum root page.

Every other page is working flawlessly. Just this one page.

[Robkk]

These two Custom CSS rules should help.

put them anywhere you can put custom CSS

child themes style.css file
jetpacks custom CSS module
a standalone custom css plugin.

.bbpress .post-section {
  margin: 0 2% 20px 2%;
  width: 96%;
}

.bbpress #content-main {
  width: 100%;
  margin-right: 0;
}

if this does not work try this CSS for a test

if the links in your forum turn red the CSS is working.

.bbpress a {
  color: red;
}

if the links are red and my above CSS rules for full width arent working i probably have to redo the CSS rules i gave you above to include more div classes which will be super annoying.

[Robin W]

You are not understanding the problem.

spot on !

the code you gave is an action, so would not contain the breadcrumb unless some other code outside bbpress is actioning it.

can you give us a link/url to a page and tell us what you want moved/added/changed

[Robkk]

I’m still working on how to disable caching for logged in users.

what cache plugin are you using??

Is there a way to make it so that the Favorite and Subscribe buttons aren’t blue too?

here i think i copied how the sidebar links are shown.

.bbpress a.favorite-toggle,
.bbpress a.subscription-toggle {
    color: #000;
}

.bbpress a.favorite-toggle:hover,
.bbpress a.subscription-toggle:hover {
    color: #707070;
}

[Robkk]

Slightly NSFW

i laughed at this.

@davidnsfw add !important after 96% like this

.bbpress #content-main {
width: 96% !important;
}

and see if that works.

[Robin W]

try adding

.bbpress #content-main {
width: 96%;
}

to your style.css

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Robin W]

bit of a difference between

and wanted it removed completely

and

I merely want to move it.

🙂

but it doesn’t seem as if that’s possible.

um, yes it is, you just hadn’t asked !

just use

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

in the code

there are many template files that use this

just look in

templates\default\bbpress\

and you’ll find all the templates

tell us where you want it, and we’ll try to help further

I’m so sorry — I thought you might want me to make a new topic here on this bbPress support site. I would have happily made a new post on my own website!
