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.

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.

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

Try adding

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

to your style.css

Functions files and child themes – explained !

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

see

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

Hey there support!

I do have bbpress 2.5.4 installed and use it with WP 4.1.

After having started playing around with bbpress (and reading up
on the necessary essentials of php and customizing), I found myself
already at the end of my wits…

Despite topics being created and associated within a specific subforum
(where two out of three are private forums), they are being listes clickable
in parallel across various forums (that do not contain that certain topic).
Distinction is possible by the path listed (small) underneath the topic title,
but it is very confusing to the paricipant.

How can I limit the topics listed to the content of their (parent) forum?

If need be, I can point you to an exemplary URL, but would prefer to set the message to “private”, though…

Cheers,

Oliver

Hello,

In the users BBPress profile, for some reasons, the answers are not shown.
But topics work fine.

Any idea where I should look?

Example : http://www.crowdfundiz.com/forums/users/eternalas/reponses

[Rosa Parker]

This is my website: http://ecoperate.com, WordPress version is 4.0.1 and bbPress version is 2.5.4.

I noticed that the little avatar icons displayed in bbPress widget areas (e.g. to show recent posts or comments) don’t have any margin on the right and appear as though they stick to the text. In my case, this is a footer widget that displays the latest topic. I would like to add margin-right, but the problem is that the avatar icons in the actual forum area fall under the same CSS selector and appear to have enough margin already (they also have a border). So, when I add margin-right, it affects not only the widget icons. How can I do that, though? Is there a way to separate them, so that the icons in the forum area remain the same?

Many thanks in advance,

Rosa

This is my website: http://ecoperate.com, WordPress version is 4.0.1 and bbPress version is 2.5.4.

I have two forum groups running on my website (‘Opportunities’ and ‘Forum’); both of them highlight a different item in the menu when they’re active. Now, what I can’t manage to do is highlighting the respective menu items in the forum topics. At least not in a way they can tell the parent forums apart.

This works perfectly:

.single-topic .genesis-nav-menu .menu-item-71 > a

With the exception that only ONE of the menu-items is highlighted for every single topic (71 refers to menu item ‘Opportunities’). What I want to achieve is differentiation, by somehow linking the single-topics to the right parent forum. How can I do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙂

Thanks,

Rosa

Hi there, I am a newbie to bbpress and need some help. I have installed and activated bbpress on my site on WordPress 4.1 and none of the admin menus such as Forums, Topics, Replies appear in the backend of the site on the left hand admin menu. I was wondering what might have gone wrong and how to get this to work. I have tried deactivating other plugins and still no good. I have also tried uninstalling and re-installing a few times without any luck. No actual error message appears on the site so I do not have anything else to go on, so maybe someone has some tips. Thanks

[jhon1327]

Hello.
I want to know is there anything have similar like this page http://bbpress.org/forums/new-topic/
I could not find it

[Robin W]

ok, at least we know you’ve got the right file !

Try the following

delete all the content from wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

and then paste the following in

<?php

/**
 * Single Forum Content Part
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

	<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>

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

		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

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

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

		<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>

</div>

save and then try it.

[Robin W]

ok, but with default theme twenty fifteen, the user set to participant, and just bbpress the edit will show, so something is affecting this.

[krw1243]

Aha! I was falling prey to this ticket:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2739

Implemented the workaround in the ticket, and I can haz formatting!
