I’ve installed BBpress, now trying to figure it out. First off, I want to make changes to the appearance.
It appears to install in wp-content/plugins/bbpress – which makes sense. AS to a URL, it seems to be located at mysite.com/forums, but there is no such page in my WP page listings.
Can someone give me a source to go to to understand how to customize this? Please take note than I am essentially HTML illiterate. I need a cut and paste approach to making changes.
Thank you all in advance,
George

Ok, it looks like the problem is partly in our theme, but there is a change in 2.5.5 not mentioned in the changelog that is triggering the issue. It seems to be related to this:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2607

We have a check on WP_Query->is_search that is returning true in the topic and reply loops when I believe it should be returning false. The resolution of the above ticket was supposed to fix this same issue…

Hi guys
I have bbpress installed and my main forum page has a rev slider on it and the shortcode to pull in the forum underneath.
However I want the header (or just the option for any image) to be output on the single forum pages.
Anyone know how?

You can see here with the header:
http://79.170.44.148/semsnet.co.uk/forum/

Bland/no image:
http://79.170.44.148/semsnet.co.uk/forums/forum/policy-voice/

Thanks
Mat

Hello,

What is the shortcode to display the recent replies in a page instead of a widget ? I want the appearance of the recent replies to be just like in a widget (that means a simple LIST), so none of the shortcodes here (http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/) corresponds to my request.

Thank you for your help.

Hi there,

I updated to the latest bbPress today and now Participant users are not able to edit their own posts and replies anymore (the Edit option doesn’t appear next to the posts). All other roles seem to be doing fine. I’ve tried deactivating all plugins and switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme but the problem persists, so it does seem to have been caused by the update. I’m running WordPress 4.1.1.
This is the website:

Home test

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Is there a hover text plugin for bbpress? I’m look for something that will let you create a custom list of words or acronyms that when ever someone puts them in their posts, when you hover over them it’ll show you the definition. I found one that’ll work in the wordpress posts, but it doesn’t work in the forums.

Tom,

I’ve the same problem which has stopped by porting over from phpbb to bbpress.
The freshness url is always correct per forum but the short-text is always wrong…

Cheers

Just starting with bbpress and only created one topic- but it has disappeared.

[DanaJoy2008]

I am using bbPress 2.5.5, which is the newest version, I believe.

I’m positive that I didn’t use a bbpress standalone theme. If it’s relevant, I’m using The Thinker Lite as the theme.

As I said above, I was able to see replies without a problem one day, and the next they were gone. I’ve wracked my brain to think of anything I might have done to inspire the change, but I can’t.

[Waltteri Turunen]

I have a problem where all the bbpress related caps have been removed from the roles and I can’t add them. I can add and remove other capabilities but not the ones related to bbpress, regardless of the role.

(I’m using User Role Editor Pro)

And to find that file you need access to your server.

In your wp-content yhere is a folder called plugins, in there there is a folder called BBpress.
In the bbpress folder is a folder called templates, and in there a folder called default.
In that Default folder is another folder called bbpress, and that is the template folder where you can find the loop-single-reply that you can copy to your child’s bbpress folder

[Lalit_patadiya]

Go to \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\common folder and open template.php file and go to line: 2319 and put the condition as bellow

if($r[‘current_text’] == ‘Forums’){
$crumbs[] = $r[‘current_before’] . ‘/put your text here./’ . $r[‘current_after’];
}else{
$crumbs[] = $r[‘current_before’] . $r[‘current_text’] . $r[‘current_after’];
}
try above code it’s work for me

Hello,
Using the new topic shortcode, is there a way to get the forums of the current user? or is there a way for me to edit this snippet `<p>
<label for=”bbp_forum_id”><?php _e( ‘Book:’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?></label><br />
<?php
bbp_dropdown( array(
‘show_none’ => __( ‘(Select One)’, ‘bbpress’ ),
‘selected’ => bbp_get_form_topic_forum()
) );
?>
</p>
` to reflect forums from the current user?

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; }

[Robkk]

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
