Hi Robin,

If you put bbpress.css inside your theme/bbpress/css folder it should load that css right?

Can I then add that into there or does it have to be the main style.css?

Thanks so much!

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone had any insight to the “My Account” menu on this site up in the top right.

Does anyone know if this is a plugin or is this all back end coded?

I checked several places bbPress and WordPress plugins but I cant find anything thats looks like it.

I did check the “Author Avatars List” plugin.

I am also guessing it might be “membership” related outside of bbPress.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This is perfectly fine or if it said
http://www.gaucinforum.com/members/japs/
that would be fine too.

I am assuming there is some code in the bbpress members pages that says to use nickname instead of username?

or is there some php to add to my functions to make wp register users nicknames as there username with a 1 or something.

I hope that makes it clear whats happening and what I need to happen?

Thanks
Mark

Sorry I thought I was but you know what its like when your in the middle of it 🙂

The site is gaucinforum.com
When you go there you can only access the home page the contact page and terms etc without being registered.

The registration page is standard bbpress with 3 additional fields (not really relevent)
The user registers with
Username : japs
Name : John Powell

In the background it has created a user with
Username : japs
First Name : John
Last Name : Powell
Nickname : John Powell
Display Name Publicly : John Powell

I am using the plugin BP Display Name to force Display Name Publicly As : Username
and I have added the code
define( ‘BP_SHOW_DISPLAYNAME_ON_PROFILE’, false );
to my wp-config.php

If you have FTP access then :

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then you need to chnage the line

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form() ) : ?>

to do a check for keymaster and author

something like

<?php if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster())  || bbp_get_reply_author_id() == bbp_get_current_user_id() : ?>

bbp_get_reply_author_id() might need to be bbp_get_topic_author_id() – you’ll need to try it to see

Give this a go, I’m very short of time at the moment, so haven’t tested !

[Robin W]

I have to say I think your programming skills are probably better than mine !

The views bit hooks to bbp_has_topics, so the args are the key part to get this going, rather than needing to alter php files

see

Adding Custom View Shortcode

for how another user got a custom view with meta data working – I’m a bit tied up at the moment to write the answer, but judging by your post above you should be able to work it out !

If you don’t then come back and I’ll try and help when I get some time

If you do, please post the whole solution here in the spirit of sharing – it would be a good one to have for other people, and to add as a plugin to the other plugin.

[Robin W]

or add the following to your style.css

. bbp-reply-content a:link, a:visited, a:hover {
color: blue !important ;
}

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve had a look.

It could be a theme or 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.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

The link to padelstar works

the link to EVELYN PADEL just seems to go to another page

Copy bbpress.css to your theme-folder/css folder and change to whatever you like.

Hi,

The hyperlinks inside my forum content aren’t blue and are only blue when I hover over it. Is there code to change this?

I think we changed the “bbpress-forums a” to black since we wanted the main forum listings links to be black and not blue, but we want to change the links WITHIN forum content to blue so it’s more obvious.

Thanks

pretty much every wordpress them is compatible w bbpress out of the box at this point, but this is a good place to start –

I am having the same problem. I’ll try to be less ranty about it, but it’s definitely frustrating.

I am importing a forum from a wordpress 4.1/bbPress 2.5.4 install on an old site to a wordpress 4.1/bbPress 2.5.4 on a new site. There’s no way to do this from the Import Forum screen, so I also have done this via the standard WordPress Export/Import tool as suggested.

In my case, content shows up on the back end, but not on the front end. Also, accessing the Replies page on the back end results in a segmentation fault on the server. Taking these steps with no plugins and default theme has the same results.

Like the original poster here, I would love to find what is the correct import procedure to just move a bbPress install from one site to another.

[Savedin1080p]

I’m unsure of any other sites with the same template or forums. You can go to the donate page and see that the white box on the left is there, but it is not there on the forums. When I disable bbPress it shows up. I will disable bbPress to show what I mean.

I *think* I’m going about this the right way — but I may not be, so any advice will be appreciated.

I’ve moved a long-standing forum group onto bbpress. We’re loving it, but members have asked me to make it work more like our old program. I’ve seen a lot of chatter about view-unread elsewhere. I’m using the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/ — that hasn’t been updated in forever, but works nicely and gives us what we are used to. It creates a meta-key for each topic, each user: bbpress_unread_posts_last_visit_$user-id with the associated value being the unix timestamp.

Combined with the plugin to go to the first unread post, this works. I’ve also created buttons where the user can reset that meta-key to mark forums as read / unread.

Now I want a custom view, “Unread View”, that will look for topics where
_bbp_last_active_time > bbpress_unread_posts_last_visit_$user-id

Since $user-id is dynamic, I’m thinking that I can’t just specify the view in the functions.php file and be happy.

What I’ve done:
added:
—–
// adding custom view for unread
function my_custom_views_init() {
$args = array ();
bbp_register_view( ‘unread-view’, __( ‘Unread View’ ), array( $args ), false );
}
add_action( ‘bbp_register_views’, ‘my_custom_views_init’ );
—–
to my functions.php file.

created
unread-view.php based on loop-topics.php with the logic to test if
_bbp_last_active_time > bbpress_unread_posts_last_visit_$user-id
and only show the topic if it is… (I’m not sure if I have the logic right yet, or if this is even the right loop to put the test…)

Added a page with the short code
[bbp-single-view id="unread-view"]

But there’s clearly a link missing. I need something to tell the system that I want to use my unread-view.php instead of loop-topics.php for “unread-view” ONLY.

And I’m not sure how to do that. I’m clearly missing more than a little bit of the logic here. My programming skills are pretty basic, so any help you can give me would be appreciated.

[Robin W]

Not quite sure why, but the replies class is not showing

Try adding

.forums.bbp-replies {
  clear: both !important;
}

to your style.css

that fixed it in my browser

Thanks

The problem is with this plugin :

Custom Post Type Page Template
Version 1.0 | by Hiroaki Miyashita

Do you know another plugin with its features compatible with bbPress ?

Thanks a lot.

[andreippo]

@korobochkin, thanks a lot for sharing this.

Should I just paste you code on bbpress/includes/common/functions.php and change the attributes of it?

What does selena_network refer to?

Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone,

First time trying out bbPress, and I’m finding that my first try is not looking that great. I’d like to have something that looks at least as good as this forum here (the bbPress Support Forum). Does anyone know where to find really good themes that make bbPress look it’s best?

[Robin W]

ok,

It could be a theme or 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.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Robin W]

ok, it’s caused by your themes style sheet

line 5600 says

.no-touch .reply {
  visibility: hidden;
}

and this is hiding bbpress reply

you could try adding

#bbpress-forums .no-touch .reply {
  visibility: visible !important;
}

to your css file

[RenaiSens]

Hello,

I use WP 4.1 with BBpress 2.5.4 and Paid Membership Pro 1.7.15.2.
I added PMPro bbPress plugin 1.1.3
I use the twenty twelve WP theme.

I can’t see the topics of a forum and I can’t add a topics ‘I have the membership level access).

Here my process with images (add http://www. before the screencast.com URL) :

1 – I create a forum open public with the access for all the memebership level :
screencast.com/t/3rE0CXKzXIfI

2 – I create an OPEN topic for this forum from the backend : screencast.com/t/RRNr2EbRiA

3 – from the website, connected with the good member level, I can see this forum into the index of the forum [bbp-forum-index] : screencast.com/t/qFqjlR0i

4 – But when I click on this forum I only can read the description of the forum but I can’t add a topics. I can’t see the added topics area :
screencast.com/t/wp2IEgzZg

I need help to undestand what happens and how can I fix that.
Pendind your answers.

Thanks
Regards
Ludovic

if it’s not a plugin issue viz

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.

the it is likely to be a a theme issue
