Hello,

this is how it looks today:

the words ware not in one row. I would like to improve the appearance. Thatswhy i want to have all words in one row and the button left or maybe centered.

But i don’t know how to realize it.

Regards

[teamoo]

Yes, this is very strange.

I’ve placed the link for my forum and for my “test” topic below. I’ve been searching with the word “Wellsville” as that is unique to topic below. All it returns is the newest blog post which does not have Wellsville in it anywhere.

My standard search within WordPress works as it should. Should the bbPress search be limited to the forum? That would be good.

Hi, I have just installed bbpress to have a forum functionality in our website. However, when I tried to create a topic or reply to existing topic/post, the text editor seems to be disabled until I click on the editor buttons. There is no error in the console.

Here’s our website

[Navinn]

Hi, it doesn’t change.
I also tried this:

#bbpress-forums #top ul:first-child > li > a {
  color: #b84444!important;
}

i don’t know it that helps, but my custom CSS contains this:

li#menu-item-107548 .avia-menu-text span{
font-size: 22px;
}

#header_meta {
background: #4a96cd;
}
#top ul:first-child > li > a {
color: #eeeeee;
}

#top ul:first-child > li > a:hover {
color: #4a96cd; 
}

/* Main Menu - HIGHLIGHT BLOCK */
#top .avia-menu-fx {
display:block;
position:absolute;
border-style:solid;
border-width:5px;
}

.avia_desktop .av-hover-overlay-active .av-masonry-image-container {
opacity: 1;
}

.qa-faq-title { font-size: 110%; }
.faq-catname { font-size: 150%; }

.header_color .main_menu ul:first-child > li > a {font-size:110%; 
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.av-inner-masonry-content.site-background {
opacity: 0 !important;
}
}

.single #main .content .entry-footer{
float: left !important;
}

/* Couleur de la sideBar */
.main_color .sidebar { background-color: #eeeeee; }

/* Couleur des liens vers pages de même niveau dans la sidebar*/
ul.nested_nav a:hover {
color: #4a96cd!important;
}
ul.nested_nav a {
color: #404040!important;
}

/*Classe pour centrer les images dans le menu*/
p.menu-image {
position: relative;
top: -9px;
}
li#menu-item-107543 a .avia-menu-fx {
bottom: 11px!important;
}
li#menu-item-107544 a .avia-menu-fx {
bottom: 11px!important;
}

/*Désactiver la bordure en haut a droite du menu*/
.avia-menu.av_menu_icon_beside { border-right: none; }

#top #header .avia_mega_div > .sub-menu.avia_mega_hr {
padding-top: 5px;
}
#top #header .avia_mega_div > .sub-menu {
padding: 20px 20px 20px;

Users are reporting an error when logging in using the bbPres login widget:
Warning: require_once(/home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/example.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/functions.php on line 1705

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/example.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/functions.php on line 1705

I noticed that the filename is different in the referenced location, it has a capital letter in Example.php When I change the filename it resolves the issue.

Why does it need to reference the Example.php converter anyway?

Good day house, please can anyone help me with this, i have created a forum using bbpress but when user click on register, the register page opens but once you fill your username and email, the wordpress admin page opens saying check your email for your password.
Please i don’t want the wordpress login page to show to my user when they subscribe to my forum and secondly when the password is being sent to the user via their email, the sender ID is wordpress, is there no way i can customize the sender to be my site name?

Thank you

[Robkk]

i think using this instead will allow more customization options to the widget

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/

[Robkk]

i thought it was because you closed the topic but no your theme is adding some weird CSS to the first topic.

see if this CSS fixes your issue,

#bbpress-forums #top ul:first-child > li > a {
  color: #b84444;
}

[Robkk]

i found this gist here , and it might be useful.

https://gist.github.com/trishasalas/9818135

plop this into your child theme functions.php or a functionality plugin

add_action( 'bbp_template_before_replies_loop', 'bbpress_rss' );
function bbpress_rss() {
$url = "http" . (($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']==443) ? "s://" : "://") . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo ' <a href="' . $url . 'feed">Subscribe via RSS</a>';
}

EDIT: @netweb thats sweet!!

I’ve visited your site and I saw there was no side bar. Make sure your sidebar is active first (DASHBOARD -> APPEARANCE -> WIDGETS). Then pull The widgets you want to display in the Sidebar section. Give the Widget a Title, the title will then display in the Sidebar area. To style any element you can inspect the element by right clicking on it -> select inspect element -> a window will pop-up showing you the div class or div id of any element on that page. eg(#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper textarea.bbp-the-content). This div comes from inspecting the elements on this very page. You can even change things in the right-side window of the inspector and see the changes happen instantly. Elements like background-color, text color and font size and so on.(TRY IT)
You can place this div inside your themes CSS file and change the elements within it. Example text color, font, font-weight. eg

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper textarea.bbp-the-content {
from width: 100%; to width:50% !important;
from margin: 0; to margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px !important;
from font-size: 12px; to font-size:14px !important;
}
the !important is used to override the styles already created within the plugins css

You can also see an entire page by using right-click -> view page source

I am using WordPress 4.1.1, and bbPress 2.5.6 with the Theme Twenty Thirteen, and bbPress does not display correctly, all pages of the forum look like this, and the rest of website look fine. Does anyone have any suggestions I could try in order to fix this?

[Stephen Edgar]

This is included as an optional option in the next release bbPress 2.6 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Mike, thanks, much appreciated.

I’ve copied and pasted it into a GitHub Gist here:
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/9ff3f1ed93ae9671a93b

It makes it much clearer to read and update, if anyone wants to make improvements or suggestions drop a comment on the Gist 🙂

This is a great start and I hope to one of these days get attachment importing into bbPress importer 😉

[curvemeister]

I want to offer this php script in exchange for the help Stephen’s script provided. It ran successfully on my installation, going from SMF 2.0.4 to bbPress 2.5.6 / GD bbPress Attachments 2.2. Most of my time is taken up with consulting, and I regret that I will not be providing much in the way of support for this script.

This is a stand-alone php script that you must modify to target your SMF install. I suggest using notepad++ to edit for readability, and something like FileZilla to transfer your file to your host. Install and run the script in the root folder of your WordPress folder. I used Putty configured for an SSHconnection. Do not try to run it via http – the script will time out.

Thanks to Stephen Edgar for providing the original php on which this is based.

No, you’ll need to repeat whatever you did when you originally installed it.

see

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

[Robin W]

Yes, deactivate and delete the current plugin – you won’t lose the forums !

then

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/

and download the appropriate version at the bottom of the screen to your pc and then uploads it and activate

I am trying to install bbPress 2.5.6 with the Sweetdate theme using WordPress 4.1 Everytime I install the bbPress plug in I get the 500 Internal Server error. Removing bbPress using FTP resolves the issue so it looks like a bbPress issue. Other plug ins install fine. Any suggestions ? The site is not yet up. Thanks.

[shogunteam]

Hello all,

can someone please tell me how to downgrade the bbPress plugin? After the last update my forum is available only in english and i dont know any other way to fix it (there is no polish version of the new version yet).

It is ok, if I delete the plugin and install the old version per ftp? Are the old settings saved in the database?

Thanks for an answer!

Best regards,
shogunteam

I’m running WP 4.1.1 and bbpress 2.5.6

I wonder if there’re plugin:
1. shows if a topic has picture or not (in the topic title), it’s better to show the sizes of the pictures if any, that’s important for portable devices since traffic is expensive
2. shows if a user is online or not below his/her avatar

Hi,

When I go to create a group in the front end;

1) I enter group name and description;
2) I insert the name and description of the group I want to create
3) If i press next step, i am faced with a Wp error page asking: “Si è davvero sicuri di voler far questo?”, clicking on the “riprovare” me page not found.

The group is not created.

I installed WordPress 3.8.5 with the theme Avada version 3.6.1 of ThemeFusion.

The main plugin installed are: bbpress (version 2.5.6), buddypress (version 2.2.1), wpml, GEO my WP (version 2.5 with add-ons: Groups Locator, Xprofile Fields, Post Types Locator and Members Locator) and U BuddyPress Forum Attachment.

Thanks in advance

Good morning,
I’m tring to use BBPress with my website, but somehow the first topic always have a different color, making it difficult to read.

Here is the link: http://www.rhinopiping.com/Forums/forum/rhinopiping/

Would you know which kind of css I should add to change this? Thanks

[mvaneijgen]

I still have this problem on the latest bbpress and wordpress. Im trying to embed the shortcode on the feedback-no-search.php so that it displays when there is no search result and the user can ask the question on the forum. For admins it works fine but for non-admins get the message “You cannot create new topics.”

The fix that @satrya and @robin-w posted also doesn’t work on this version of bbpress, but again thats ia comment from a year ago.

[mvaneijgen]

I do and admins and moderators will see the form and can work with it, but users/subscribers will see the message “You cannot create new topics.” as described here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-topic-form-shortcode-issue/ a topic from almost 3 years ago.

I place the shortcode in the search result page if there are no instances found of what they are trying to look for, so they can ask that question on the forums.

[Robkk]

id say look at the bbPress breadcrumbs code and copy that and add it to your custom breadcrumbs.

its in bbpress>includes>common>

then search breadcrumbs in an editor like notepad++

[Robkk]

bbPress doesnt output shortcodes use something like this
