Thanks for the replies gentlemen. It was a simple thing. In the bbPress WP Tweaks plugin, I needed to select one of the other available pages.

For anyone else with the problem: Dashboard>Settings>bbPress WP Tweaks. The bottom 3 were bold and, therefore, available for my site. Selecting page.php did the trick.

Select template file that you prefer bbPress rendered in. Make sure template file is present in your theme directory. If sidebar is not displaying make sure you put some wodgets to “bbPress sidebar” in widgets page then try different forum wrapper from this list.

plugin-bbpress.php
bbpress.php
forums.php
forum.php
generic.php
page.php
single.php
index.php
Files with Bold text exist.

Just after posting the above message, I decided to give it one more try and added width property to the bbpress.css file under #bbpress-forums . And voilà, it is showing properly now. Although I have no idea why it is ignoring the same one in style.css.

[Robkk]

you can use this PHP function

function rkk_topic_av() {
	    	echo bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '32' , 'type' => 'avatar'));
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_topic_title','rkk_topic_av');

here is some custom CSS you can use.

li.bbp-topic-title .avatar-32 {
  margin-right: 5px;
}

then to remove the small one you can copy loop-single-topic.php into your child theme into a folder called bbpress.

look for

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'sie' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>

change it to.

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'type' => 'name' ) ) ); ?></span>

Nice plugin. I did it manually in bbPress profile screen and BuddyPress screen, with SVG Wifi colored icons. Not easy to explain how, different files involved.
But for topic user info could not manage it. Different queries.

Just checked. Ignore User plugin works well even 3 years old:

Hi,

I have bbpress installed on a multisite (network activated) but for some reason the CSS and JS is not being linked to properly. When looking for them the site is looking in http://roobla.com/var/sites/etc/etc/etc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js and /css/bbpress.css.

You can visit any page on my website (roobla.com) to see the JS like this in practice. I had to deregister and reregister the CSS but I’d prefer to not have to.

The network’s primary domain is cultiplex.com and Roobla is a subdomain.

Can anyone shed any light on what could be causing this, please?

Thank you for your help,
Sam

I did end up creating a local test environment to find that solution

Having a test environment is something that every site should have !!

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

[Robkk]

this should be a direct path to the activity.php file that you would need to edit

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php

follow all the comments in here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2690

and you should see dans fix for the patch to make it work.

[admiralmuttonchops]

Should anyone ever come across this with the same problem I was having, it was the Google Adsense for Responsive Design – GARD by The Plugin Factory, The Digital Hippies plugin that was causing the conflict with bbpress. Once I deactivated the plugin, all of the menu options and functionality were there.

Thanks Robin for the help. I did end up creating a local test environment to find that solution.

[Robin W]

Not one I’ve heard of.

I can’t find the word ‘unable’ in this context within bbpress at all – can you get your user to get the EXACT wording including capitals, spaces and punctuation, so that I can track whereabouts in the code it appears.

Also what plugins are you running that could have this in them?

[andrew55]

Thanks for the suggestion. I decided to install a separate version of WP and install forums in there – my original WordPress database got huge with bbPress.

I then imported phhBB into this site. Next I will connect this site to aMember, although I’m not sure how that will go. Wish me luck!

[dennismcclure111]

I am running WP at version 4.1.1 and bbpress at 2.5.6. I have one participant in the forum who continually gets an error message when he tries to submit a reply “Error: Unable to reply right now”

Other participants are not having the problem and I haven’t been able to recreate it.

My site is http://www.93regimentalcan.com

[Robkk]

your issue very well might be the same as the trac tickets you posted

but i cant confirm.

i suggest you contact the bbPress plugin developers in slack.

@andrew55

sorry i made a typo

i meant to say

All i can recommend now is put all your data back from aMember all to your phpbb installation and just import phpbb cleanly into bbPress.

[Robkk]

bbPress i think will have @mentions in a future release, but for now you can use BuddPress’s own scripts for bbPress using this function.

add it to your child theme functions.php or a functionality plugin

function custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts( $retval = false ) {
	if ( function_exists( 'bbpress' ) && is_bbpress() ) {
		$retval = true;
	}
 
	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts' );

its old but there is this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-ignore-user/

[joym]

Is this not a standard feature in bbpress? Some people don’t get along and their user experience would be better if they had the ability to block another member. Can anyone help with this? Thank you.

[admiralmuttonchops]

I appreciate that, but I don’t have FTP access. Someone asked me to put a forum on their site. It’s not my site and they don’t particularly want me messing anything up that currently works. They wanted to stick with WordPress, so bbpress made sense, but it isn’t working.

[joym]

Hi, you’ve done a very nice job with your site! Since you seem like you’ve figured a lot out I thought I would ask about a block/ignore feature. I don’t believe it’s in the bbpress package, would this be something you could help with? Thank you.

[Robin W]

ok, suggest you create a test site and try to fix there

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

[admiralmuttonchops]

Hi –

I just installed my first attempt at bbpress and nothing is showing up in the dashboard menu. There is no forum option, no tools and no options under settings. My site role is listed as “Administrator”, secondary and forum roles as “Keymaster”.

It will be complicated to disable all of the plugins or install TwentyThirteen. Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what the problem might be? WordPress 4.1.1 & bbpress 2.5.6, running Bolid Theme (Is that known to have a conflict). Thanks in advance.

[joym]

Hello everyone. I’m new to bbpress. I have both bbpress and buddypress installed. In bbpress the @mentions feature doesn’t create the popup screen. I’m confused as to where the notifications are for a mention as well. Can anyone help me understand the way this works or how it should work?

Thank you.

[andrew55]

Robin W – thank you. Now it makes sense why there is no styling only on that link.

I found the setting in your plugin to disable it. BTW, you plugin is awesome. bbpress wouldn’t work for us without it.

I have it on my list of plugins to donate to.

Thanks again.
