I have 1 000members.
Can somebody point me in the direction of how to get the cool site widgets we see on these forums, like forum info, tags, feeds. slick forum list and etc. i don’t see these widgets as part of the default bbpress
Hello everyone,
I’d like to know how to change the breadcrumbs on my bbPress installation. On the topics pages, the breadcrumb is something like this:
Home / Topics / *Forum Name* / *Topic Title*
Is there a for it to be like:
Home / Forum Index / *Forum Name* / *Topic Title*
Hi,
I’m running the latest bbPress (2.5.4) and using Gravity Forms and the Custom Post Types addon to automatically create a bbPress reply when somebody submits a form. This is mostly working – the reply post is created in WordPress, I’m setting the _bbp_reply_to, _bbp_forum_id and _bbp_topic_id meta fields and it looks like it should in the backend.
However it doesn’t appear as a reply under the topic when you view the forums.
If I edit the newly-created reply in the WordPress admin backend (just hitting Update without making any changes) it does then appear.
I presume there’s some additional step required to update the forums metadata or relationships? I’ve tried using the “repair forum” tools after creating the reply, and calling bbp_update_reply from a hook on form submission, but neither seem to make the reply appear. The only thing which does is clicking “Update” in the backend.
Any pointers would be very much appreciated! It feels like I’m 90% there but am missing some vital “refresh” step at the end.
Using the Hueman theme with latest bbpress and wordpress. The forums page has the correct sidebar, but when I click on a topic, a another, different sidebar appears.
Unfortunately, deactivating all plugins did not help. I did not test a default theme.
If I create a child theme and install the bbpress codes, will I still potentially have a problems with this, or will this no longer be an issue then?
jakerobbins and Robkk, thanks for the reply.
I understand it can be hidden with template customize or css customize.
however for maintenance reason (bbpress update etc.) I would like to know the way by filter.
some customize has already done by add_filter except bbp_anonymous_website.
thank you.
Hi there!
I’m using Enfold theme and I recently downloaded BBPress to use it on my site.
However, BBPress doesn’t seem to be working properly. Whenever I create a new topic, the page gives me a 404 error. Then its title appears listed in the parent forum, but the content of the topic (the main content of the topic) does not appear. I only get the box to reply the topic.
Could you guys please give me a hand? Thanks in advance!
This is a new current installation of WordPress, Buddypress and bbPress
I’ve created two forums. one group forum and one non-group forum. Both show up on the forum index at *.com/forums/
The non-group test forum works fine. Clicking on the index test forum link goes to *.com/forums/forum/test-forum/ the topic link goes to *.com/forums/topic/test-topic/
The group forum isn’t working. Clicking on the index group forum link just returns to *.com/forums/
However when I mouseover the link it shows *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/
I can go directly to the topic in the group forum at *.com/groups/accessible-woodworking/forum/topic/accessible-woodworking-test-topic/
I’m thinking it has something to do with the setting for the Group Forum root, but I don’t know how to change it.
Any and all suggestions welcome. Thank you in advance.
the bbcodes notice i think you can turn that off in the plugin your using, i think its gd bbpress tools.
you can remove the unrestricted html notice with some CSS if you want its only displayed to Admins/Keymasters only, so its not that big of a deal.
you can use this PHP code to remove the notice above the topics/forums
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' );
function ja_return_blank() {
return '';
}
Figured out the avatar issue itself.
Basically used the following code (though this may not work for everyone – not sure if it’s based on theme):
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author img.avatar, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author img.avatar, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
border: none;
max-width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 12px auto 0 auto;
float: none;
}
#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-reply-revision-log img.avatar, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topic-revision-log img.avatar, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar, #bbpress-forums .widget_display_topics img.avatar, #bbpress-forums .widget_display_replies img.avatar {
float: none;
margin-bottom: -7px;
border: 3px double #ddd;
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
}
i creep BuddyPress forums here and there , but yeah i read that topic
i think someone brought this up awhile ago on the #bbpress slack channel too. Specifically the Pimp your Press forum.
i don’t think its really a hierarchy issue and more about people not knowing exactly what a forum is for and how they interpret it to be.
For example one user could think that Pimp your Press could be to “show off your bbPress installation” to another it could be “How could i tweak/design my bbPress installation?”
i think they should just bring back the descriptions of the forums and place them sort of like they did in 2011 in the link i posted above, so that users know what exactly the forum is for.
As for bbpress.org changing the forum archive to a different layout, who knows. It does look real nice how it is now and like i said i don’t hierarchy is not really a problem, but if they did change it i think they would because they had the same layout for a couple of years.
oh and the epicwebs theme hierarchy is not part of core , the developer just did a cool function to use bbPress’s code to look that way. There is i think 2-3 ways to do that type of hierarchy, and the other two ways are in a bbpress trac ticket scheduled to be in a future version of bbPress.
Wordpress version: 4.1.1
bbPress version: 2.5.4
phpBB forum version: 3.1.3
I’m running into an issue trying to import a phpBB forum into bbPress. I’ve checked and rechecked my database information/login. I have the correct table prefix for what the old database is using. I’m getting the following error when I press start:
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘users.user_website’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(users.user_id USING “utf8”) AS user_id,convert(users.user_password USING “utf8”) AS user_password,convert(users.user_form_salt USING “utf8”) AS user_form_salt,convert(users.username USING “utf8”) AS username,convert(users.user_email USING “utf8”) AS user_email,convert(users.user_website USING “utf8”) AS user_website,convert(users.user_regdate USING “utf8”) AS user_regdate,convert(users.user_aim USING “utf8”) AS user_aim,convert(users.user_yim USING “utf8”) AS user_yim,convert(users.user_icq USING “utf8”) AS user_icq,convert(users.user_msnm USING “utf8”) AS user_msnm,convert(users.user_jabber USING “utf8”) AS user_jabber,convert(users.user_occ USING “utf8”) AS user_occ,convert(users.user_interests USING “utf8”) AS user_interests,convert(users.user_sig USING “utf8”) AS user_sig,convert(users.user_from USING “utf8”) AS user_from,convert(users.user_avatar USING “utf8”) AS user_avatar FROM phpbb_users AS users LIMIT 0, 100
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I need to edit “Search Results” text on /view/search/?s= from my bbpress search topics widget. bbPress is not translated well in my language (czech), so I need to edit core files.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Hey @robin-w,
Along the same vein as this, I just signed up one of my friends as a user to test privileges and make sure it’s all working as it should be. When I signed him up, he was not automatically assigned a forum role. Is that due to the changes I’ve made or is this normal?
I want to make sure that I didn’t make a mistake somewhere in all of this. I’d like the base user role to be “Apprentice” so that when they sign up on the site, they have the lowest role.
If this is something that has to be set for each user, that isn’t a problem, again, I just want to make sure I didn’t muck it up.
Thanks! 🙂
Edit: I see that there is an option, of course, in the Settings » Forum, it was set to Advisor (since the others didn’t exist earlier). But it didn’t set him as Advisor. It just set him to None for forum role.
2nd Edit: (Firstly, I know that I’m nuts, I just keep thinking of other things). I installed a plugin called BuddyPress Registration and I’m wondering since that locks down the entire BuddyPress/bbPress system until users are approved, if maybe that’s why it’s set to none initially, so that they have zero access to the forums. -ponders-
now, I removed bbpress and set up again … but again same problem… you can try

Dont know if you spend time on Buddypress forums, where they explained the need for the red category blocks (green here) which was down to people posting mostly in he wrong category, and all the non pimping posts in the pimp-it category show that there might be a hierarchy issue, perhaps due to growth.
Is there any plans for a change in he bbpress forums to have a different layout, more like with the epicwebs function now part of the core that allows to separate forums by category?
It’s really great to know that you’ve learned this much in two years. I have hope for me yet of understanding this!
What I see that you did was move return $bbp_roles; from the middle of the code, down to the bottom, while also removing the secondary and unnecessary function and filter, keeping only the 'add_custom_role' portion of the function/filter.
I am definitely curious as to how it’s working without the 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' filter, for the renaming of the roles? As I write this, I’m not even sure how to explain the question I have. Haha.
But I thank you for all of your help. You’ve been absolutely fantastic and I appreciate all of the information.
This was actually a ton of fun, despite my code not working out without your help. As someone who has a deep interest in web design (I do it for a living, without the code-end of things), I think this has fueled me into wanting to learn more about how this works and delve deeper! 😀
So basically, am I to understand correctly that you simply removed:
/* bbPress Custom Role Names */
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
return array(
Which then left you with one function and one filter, but due to the way the code is written for the base three roles (keymaster, moderator and participants), that code is changing their name, regardless of the function and filter?
Hope I’m grasping that correctly.
ok, so the following combines what the first does with what the second does and achieves what you want
/* bbPress Custom Roles */
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
'name' => 'Craftsman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
'name' => 'Journeyman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role4'] = array(
'name' => 'Adept',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role5'] = array(
'name' => 'Artisan',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$moderator = bbp_get_moderator_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$moderator] = array(
'name' => 'Councilman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$keymaster = bbp_get_keymaster_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$keymaster] = array(
'name' => 'Advisor',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$apprentice = bbp_get_participant_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$apprentice] = array(
'name' => 'Apprentice',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
ok, quick answers and I’ll come back in a short while
a filter is a way to alter core code without having to change the core files. In effect if a function on the core is called ‘fred’ and writes the word ‘fred’ to your screen, then (as long as the function author has left the right code in there) you can write a filter to change ‘fred’ to ‘bert’ by adding a function (say a function called Bert) that writes ‘bert’ and then ‘add filter(‘fred’,’bert’) tells the system to ignore the fred function and put in the bert function, so it writes bert.
Now you have two filters which are overwriting what the core code in ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’ does, so in your original code you only had one filter so was fine.
In your second version, the first filter did the new roles, but the second filter to the same code overwrites the first (thus nullifying it) , so you were just left with the second one working.
bit like
original says write Fred
First filter says write Bert
Second filter says write Harry
So the code writes only Harry
BUT simply combining the two won’t work either as a filter has to return something and only one thing, so the code will quite as soon as it encounters a ‘return’ command.
Since the first half has ‘return $bbp_roles; ‘ it quits at that point and the second half isn’t exectuted.
So we need one function with one return and one filter (you actually can have more than one filter, but that’s more advanced!) – I’ll now go and look at it
