bbPress doesnt have a specific admin area for itself, it basically just uses the existing WordPress admin area.

you can,

create all the forums in the backend.

create some topics/replies in the backend but for me its better to do it frontend.

go to the settings menu go into the bbPress settings by going to settigns > forums in the backend of WordPress.

manage users in the backend.

use the addditional tools in the tools section, its named forums.

use the moderation and blacklisting settings in settings > discussion.

if you need help trying to find something else reply back.

BuddyPress should have this feature , bbPress is also compatible with BuddyPress.

Hello!

I am admin/keymaster.

I tried with twentyfifteen and it still looks the same. Im not sure if i understand it clearly, but if yes, then: If i set it not equal then in the breadcrump it will show the bbpress’s virtual page for the forum root-and in the url also, and not my real wordpress forum page i created with shortcodes.

Hi,

I am running WP 4.1.1 with Buddypress 2.2.1 and BBpress 2.5.6 my website can be found at http://www.bewitching-fiction.com with the forums underneath.

I initially set up my page with Twenty Thirteen and upgraded to the supported Firmasite – all items are up to date.

I have one single user who is unable to post anything at all; she registered on the forums and authenticated her profile within hours of the site going live and was unable to create any posts so this week I removed her and she then (working with me) recreated her profile and again attempted to post something on an existing forum. It turns out that no matter what she does she is unable to participate in any of the conversation threads already on the forum and, having checked her profile and settings, I am unable to see anything wrong with what is on there.

Advice as to why it is only happening with this one user would be great; as would anything that you can think of to get it working. I have already stripped it down to basics and then built the site back up again with her.

[jayd94]

Sorry if i wasn’t clear. So my problem basically is: BBpress has the forum root option, that i set the same as my wp page’s slug. It works, forum is shown on the wordpress page, and the url is okay, and the breadcrump is also okay.–>but setting the root to show forum on my wp page also breaks my [bbp-single-forum id=xxx]-shortcodes—-it seems to now show up on the page as if it was this shortcode:[bbp-forum-index] instead of each and every one of my[bbp-single-forum id=xxx] shortcodes.

I just made one, check it out !

Allow users to vote up or down to topics and replies inside bbPress, just like you can on StackOverflow for example.

Hello!

First: I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 running The Thinker Lite theme. I’m using bbPress 2.5.6 and my site is artintheblood.net.

I would like to change the color of the hyperlinks that appear in posts on my forum. For example, I’d like to have them be blue. I went in yesterday in hopes of doing that, but when I made the changes via the bbPress style pack (which is completely brilliant), ALL of the links were changed. The topic titles, user names, everything.

Is there a way to only change the color of links that appear within posts? Or is this just a lovely pipe dream that exists in my head?

Thank you so much for any advice you can offer!

We got the private topics to show to Participants by using the plugin “Capability Manager Enhanced”

suggests that something is not right with the transfer.

The documentation is right

Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users with a forum role can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/keymasters can see these forums

so

are you still using

bbPress Advanced Capabilities,
Capability Manager Enhanced

or both?

I’d suggest they are not helping

I’d suggest you turn both off, and the report back with what is happening, and we’ll fix it from there

any kind of wordpress/bbpress or other website that has open public registration needs very strong anti spambot protection, i use a few different plugins, but some spammers still get through sometimes, no one plugin will get them all…

these 2 work well together, but a few bots etc will still slip though, search this bbpress forum for more anti-spam info

Our phpbb3 forum was migrated to a brand new WordPress installation with bbPress installed (not BuddyPress). It was done by a consultant, so I am not sure how much of the code was custom vs a phpbb3 migration tool.

We got the private topics to show to Participants by using the plugin “Capability Manager Enhanced” and allowing the read_private_topics and read_private_replies. This now allows Participants to read the private topics, but also allows them to see Hidden forums. They cannot see the content/topics of the forums, but they can see the hidden forum titles.

The remapping to default was done with the repair tool. It had no impact, except to require me to go back and reset the handful of users that were not set to Participants.

The big question that seems unresolved in many threads is whether Participants are supposed to see Private topics/replies, or if that is a misprint in the documentation? Why would we have to use the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin to do what the docs say should happen by default.

exporting and importing from bbpress to bbpress is strangely one of the hardest things to do. The plugin authors have not got round to fixing this yet (they are not lazy, just it hasn’t hit the top of the pile!).

any chance of a url to your forums?

[Robin W]

We just migrated all the users into the database, so is there some other flag we need to set for everyone?

Last sentence is what we need to start with !

Can you explain a bit more about what the current site is, and how you got here

Have you just set up bbpress, and if so can you explain more about the migration of users? or have you migrated from another forum to bbpress? or what is happening?

Also exactly did you do to ‘remap everyone to the default’?

[Robin W]

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]

bbpress hooks to wordpress registration, so any wordpress recapcha should work, you just load the relevant plugin and follow instructions

[ajsonnick1]

.entry-title {
display : none !important ;
}

works but not with #bbpress in front.

[pazzaglia]

Unfortunately, with the upgrade to WordPress 4.x these little snippets no longer work – I read elsewhere that bbpress search had some updates which likely render these snippers useless. : (

If anyone has the updated code, I would really appreciate it!!

Ciao,

can you follow

and then come back

Hi, I’m a brand new bbPress user, just downloaded it, installed, and began following the documentation here on the site.

Everything seemed to be going well. If I click on the menu I created for the forum, the test forum page comes right up. However, over where the topics should be listed, it says ‘no topics’. But I did create a topic, again, following the instructions.

Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong?

TIA,
Martin

hi, i’m running WP 3.9.2 with bbPress 2.5.6

when viewing a user’s profile, clicking on the links ‘Topics started’ & ‘Replies created’ do not list the topic/thread titles, even though there is a post count.

does anyone know why is that, and where may i start looking to rectify it?

thanks 🙂

[pazzaglia]

Thanks, that’s more than I can do – so Installed Plug-in Organizer and that helps me to make sure that any bbpress anything loads only when someone is in the /forums/ directory.

Ciao,

I tried three plug-ins from the WordPress repository and all of them send Text e-mails for bbpress notifications.

– bbPress Notify
– bbPress Notifications
– bbPress Custom Reply Notifications*

I also tried Satollo’s bbpress plug-in, Satollo x bbPress, which DOES send HTML e-mails and is available only on his website (not in the repository) but it’s a little buggy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t but every time someone submits a comment they get a page with php warnings and errors-eeek!

I’m only a PHP tweaker, not writer, and cannot make out the spaghetti code of the three robust plug-ins to find where and how to add the information that the notification should go out in HTML.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks!

Someone suggested that I install bbpress on a new wordpress install on a subdomain, rather than on my main blog. Is this necessary? I already have 50,000+ visits per month to my blog, so I anticipate high traffic to the forum also.

The first basketball is given by a div class of ‘page-title’
The second basketball is given by a div class of ‘entry-title’

so you could try

#bbpress-forums .entry-title {
display : none !important ;
}

in your child theme css
