ok, on issue 1

Not sure what you are asking? You decide what to show in dashboard>settings>bbp topic count.

If that doesn’t answer, come back with a url to a specific page and exactly what you want removed.

on issue 2.

You just create a directory in your child theme called bbpress and any files you change in there

eg

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

where
%your-theme-name%

is the actual name of your theme !

subscribe is shown above the forums and topics for logged in users.

bbpress authors have not released these bits as widgets, which is a shame as the bits on the left are quite useful !

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

It could be 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.

Then come back

Hello,

I just installed bbPress, but I don’t have the “forums” tab to start to set it up. Though I can see the “forums” page at SplitBoarding.it/forums

I erased the cache. I use WP 4.1.1 with Divi 2.0 theme.

Do you know how to solve it?

hello guys,I install bbpress an create child theme for it and work good,only problem is Post Formatting option not work,if active this option not show bbcode buttons and hide teaxtarea border,now what`s my problem,please if need use function or action help me,i am programmer and I know php code.
thanks for help.

[Robin W]

not a quick php answer.

looks like css might be the way to go

Twenty Fifteen, no sidebar

but you want it specifically for forums (although not sure how they’ll navigate out again).

forums use

#bbpress-forums as the css tag, so maybe combine that with the code abiove

My issue is very similar to

buddypress.org/support/topic/bbpress-post-edit-causes-multiple-activity-entries/

I am using a premium wordpress theme, Buddy

Any solution?

I am trying to move my Joomla install over to WP, and am having some troubles with the Kunena importer to BBPress.

When I attempt to do the import, it successfully moves over some of the information, but stops every time when it tries to import the topics. It gives me the error:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘******.jos_kunena_topics’ doesn’t exist]

The problem is that I don’t use the jos_ prefix anywhere in my tables, and it seems to be automatically inserting that prefix into the table when trying to import. I imagine the table it’s looking for is not actually jos_kunena_topics, but rather just kunena_topics.

I am using Joomla 2.0.19 with Kunena 3.0.5, attempting to move over to the latest versions of both bbpress and WP.

Any help will be appreciated.

Wordpress: 4.1.1
bbPress: 2.5.6
Theme: underscore

I installed wordpress, bbpress and a bunch of other plugins in a local server with xampp. Everything worked fine.

After migrating the installation to a webspace with the plugin backupbuddy the following error occured “ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?” when I want to create a topic or a reply in the frontend:

– in the backend/dashboard I can create topics, replys, forums etc – works fine
– in the frontend – no matter what user, admin or moderator the error occurs
– I used the tools > forums > repair and reset – nothing
– I deactivated all other Plugins – nothing
– Deleted and Reinstalled bbpress – nothing (Do I have to delete database table from bbpress manually? or are they gone with deleting the plugin bbpress?)
….the error still exists and I can’t post or reply.

I read some older post here in the forum, but there it seems to be different that the error comes up on local installed wp.

Any suggestions or solutions?
Would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hi
I use the latest version of wordpress and bbpress and the twenty twelve theme.
My users can not check the option “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” so that they receive a notification by email.
The same checkbox I see below this window.

Who can help me out.

Thanks Robkk. I’m afraid that code didn’t fix it completely, however it gave me the missing piece to figure it out.

I had previously added a bit of found code to override my theme putting bullet points before everything in bbpress. Using your suggestion, I added the text indent to that code bit and it worked. The final solution for anyone else who finds this:

#main-content #bbpress-forums ul ul li, #main-content #bbpress-forums ul li {
margin: 0px;
text-indent: 0px;
list-style: none outside none;
}

I am attempting to create a forum site not unlike this site, but I need to support groups.

As a user I want to be able to create a group so that I can have forums which are private to the group.
As a member of a group I want to be able to invite other users to my group without having to friend the user.

I had group functionality, provided by BuddyPress but was lacking forums. I installed bbPress to gain forums, but given that groups is not a retired feature. I lost my groups admin tools.

Currently using the TwentyTen theme. I still have the ability to create a group, but users are required to friend someone and have them reply before they can be invited to the group. Not something that works for this group of existing users. I need to be able to administer groups and then have group members able to invite others without the friendship requirement.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I’m working on a new site in a multisite configuration running
WP 4.1.1
BuddyPress 2.2.1
bbPress 2.5.6

[sharlene_c]

When I try to search in my forums, I get no results unless I only use a single word to search for. Is this the standard functionality of the search form in bbPress or are there some parameters somewhere I can customise to search for a phrase?

Thanks in advance.

try this

#bbpress-forums #page-container ul li {
  text-indent: 0;
}

@flyfisherscorner – unfortunately the way bbpress works means that changing theme widths rarely works – Don’t blame me, I didn’t write it !

[Robin W]

add this to your style.css

#bbpress-forums {
width: 700px !important;
}

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[FlyFishersCorner]

Hello,

I’m currently running Robin’s plugin to display total posts by user. However, below each avatar I now have “Post Count:” and “Total Posts:”

I’ve messed around in the loop-single-forums file, but don’t want to break the plugin as I believe this is the file that Robin’s plugin calls to work correctly.

I’m sure it’s simple, but I just can’t figure it out / don’t want to mess something up.
My forums can be viewed at http://flyfisherscorner.com/forums

Also, as a follow up: maybe a newbie question, but how can I make sure that the eventual changes won’t be lost on updates? Just put the altered file into a bbPress folder in my child theme, or do I need to create all the folders to give it the same “path” as the file has in the main wp-content folder?

In other words, if I put the edited file into my child theme, can I just stick it directly into a bbPress folder, or do I need to create folders in there to mimic the directory path (e.g. bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php)?

Thanks a million!!

[Robin W]

no sorry – I can see nothing wrong with the code – it seems fine, so don’ know why it is doing this.

as long as you have tried

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.

which you say you have, then can you list all the forum settings in dashboard>settings> forums in case there’s something in there.

[wplove3268]

I’m in the process of importing a phpBB forum into bbPress and found, during the import, that there was a broken image icon where the “progress” image should be.
Indicated in the code like this:

I’m importing a very large forum and it would be nice to know where I am in the process.

Any idea of why that would not be displaying correctly? I am using bbPress 2.5.6 with WP 4.1.1

Hi – I’m planning to import data from an existing SMF forum to a new site built with WP/buddypress/bbpress which is being developed in a subdirectory of the existing site.

I’m not super tech savvy, but I just want to make sure that the existing forum on SMF keeps running smoothly as I import the data. I’m assuming nothing will be deleted after import.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thank you!

[Robkk]

usually its just copy loop-forums.php into your child theme in a folder called bbpress and edit this

<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Forum', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

but since you have bbpress in another language maybe edit the .po file??

using something like Poedit might help if that is the case.

and also how to create a new one in this page for different forum topics.

well what exactly are you going for , show recent topics sitewide below that??

[BuddyPressLost]

Looking at the import folder in bbpress I don’t see any PHP-Fusion. Does anyone know of the method to extract users, threads and articles from Fusion to WP?

I found one in the tickets area. But they don’t seem to work.
