cool!! i will test it out on my test server and give ya some feedback later

i also see your plugin was mentioned here too

WPWeekly Episode 182 – John James Jacoby Talks BuddyPress, bbPress, and GlotPress

[Robkk]

i found this plugin which pretty much has it, no styling though.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-info-widgets/

but bbpress.org uses

forum shortcode to list the forums.

regular bbpress topic tags widget

they are just links , you can put the menu widget there, create a new menu and put your feed links there, they will be exactly like the links what bbpress.org uses just replace the domain name with yours

custom development for the forum info.

[Robkk]

follow this guide.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Robkk]

maybe this topic will help

Change the color of individual role names

[Robkk]

i think this is per-forum moderation that will be added to bbPress core in the future.

[Robkk]

maybe you could use this plugin to get what you wanted

@alice-kaye

i know that finding the id in the page source is a little easier since your using CSS.

but i also like to point out that you can use this plugn for finding the ID in the backend of WordPress for the forums/topics/replies sections to show the post types ID.

its pretty useful.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/

as for the CSS you could be missing a few periods.

.bbpress .single-forum .postid-20 #fixed-background { background: url('http://www.heartwoodgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffxiv-background.jpg') !important; }

you are using the newest version of bbPress right??

you didnt try to use a “bbpress standalone theme” and try to install that right??

because i see the layout on the forums are tabled when the newest version of bbPress uses lists.

[Robkk]

@numumar

are you using an old version of bbPress or are you importing from an old version of bbPress??

because from what i can tell you dont need a bb.config.php file on the new version of bbPress to work with the newest version of BuddyPress they work flawlessly no problem, well since bbPress became a plugin for WordPress now.

you also might want to go to https://buddypress.org/support/ for help setting up BuddyPress

@seo45

if your theme author did not copy all of the bbpress templates to your child theme (use a child theme if you didnt) you can go into the plugin and copy the loop-single-reply.php file into your bbpress folder.

if your theme is highly customized and copying the file from the bbpress templates to your child theme is causing issues, contact your theme author for help as your theme might be highly customized.

this link might help explain better how to copy the templates you need into your bbpress folder, but since you have customized templates from your theme already try not to overwrite them.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Robkk]

did you create a bbpress.php ?? it might help this issue but im not sure.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

[Robkk]

i see it on the right..i think.

is it a userpro widget or does it do this automatically??

if its just a userpro widget , and you want to remove the sidebar from all bbPress forum areas create a bbpress.php from page.php or single.php and remove all the content you dont need especially the get_sidebar php code.

heres some help on creating a bbpress.php

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

if userpro does it automatically contact the plugin author.

if you need any help creating a bbpress.php file and removing the unnecessary code you wouldnt need , reply back and possibly paste your page.php file first.

@dealtek

dont edit the core files or you will lose them the next time you update bbPress.

please follow this guide instead

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

and please create a child theme as the guide says to , because it will make customizing bbPress alot easier. you can edit all the bbPress templates that you have copied to your child theme safely if you go to appearance>editor and choose your child theme and find the bbPress templates/css, you can also use FTP and a advanced text editor like notepad++ to edit files on your cpu.

here is more information on child themes

Functions files and child themes – explained !

the left margin CSS for bbPress threaded replies is

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-threaded-replies {
	        margin-left: 50px;
	}

to make it smaller for a small device use something like this.

put it anywhere you can put custom CSS

or if you copied the CSS file into a folder called bbpress into your child theme , you can add it below

/*--------------------------------------------------------------
	 Media Queries
	--------------------------------------------------------------*/
	
	/* =Standard Mobile Landscape
	-------------------------------------------------------------- */
	@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-threaded-replies {
	        margin-left: 20px;
	}
}

you can remove the reply author image too if you want

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-avatar,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author a.bbp-author-avatar {
	        display: none;
	}
}

Robkk, thanks so much for responding to me!

I’m still trying to figure out how to use an FTP client, so I pretty sure that I haven’t created a bbpress.php file. I’ve been trying to use FileZilla, but it’s not working as smoothly as I’d hoped.

My site is www.http://artintheblood.net, and the forum is www.http://artintheblood.net/forums. I really appreciate any insight you can offer. Thanks again!

[Robkk]

it might be a theme issue, if you havent created a bbpress.php file please do so it usually fixes most common theme issues.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

you can also link to your site and see if i can find any conflicting CSS that might be causing the issue.

Hello. Since few people asked for it (I think there was even thread here few months ago), I’m trying to make my plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-rating/) compatible with bbPress. As far as I understand, bbPress got own filters for content and that’s exactly where I got stuck. I can’t find list of filters. I found bbp_get_reply_content and bbp_get_topic_content but they exhibit kind of weird behavior. bbp_get_topic_content does exactly nothing, and bbp_get_reply_content filters content of first post, which is actually topic and I’m pretty sure should be filtered by bbp_get_topic_content.
Screenshot
So questions are:
– Is there a list of filters?
– If no, what are filters I should use to filter content of topic, reply and forum?
– What is this problem I described above?
bbPress version is latest stable available.

[dealtek]

ok I found css in

templates/default/css/bbpress.css

[dealtek]

ok basic newbie question….. where do i look for this?

– in WP I can go PLUGINS> bbpress> edit – on the right are some php files – but not sure where to look for the CSS stylesheet for bbpress?

– in Appearance> edit css – I do not see any bbpress stuff?

I have access to the ftp directory for the plugin – do I need to go there?

Hi @johnjamesjacoby,

I currently have bbpress 2.5.5 installed and the participant role can’t create topics and view/initiate replies. All other forum roles are working just fine. Tried everything: remapping,deactivating all plugins except bbpress, changing the theme (2013,2014 & 2015)….still its not working.I don’t mean to be brash or rude , but are there other options beside these plugins (q&a , user role,bbPress Capabilities)Please help out.Looking forward to your feedback.

Hello,
Is there a action to show another php action to only the author of the topic?
For example, if the author was looking at the topic he would see some text and if someone else was looking at it they would either see nothing or some other text.
Also, is there a action to detect if a topic is open or closed?
For example, If the topic is closed then another function would appear and if it is open then that action would not appear or something else would.

If you are not following what I am referring to then it would be the bbpress directory files. bbPress > content-single-topic.php

[awpt]

another question sorry for the double posting , so I was looking in database to uninstall bbpress for a new installation but I cant find also the bbpress tables in database

[awpt]
