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

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

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.

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!

[krw1243]

I’ve also tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling bbpress, to no effect.

[krw1243]

I’ve tried themes that claim to be bbpress compatible, as well as twenty ten, twenty twelve, and twenty fourteen – all look the same.

[krw1243]

I’m trying to add BBPress to my WordPress site, but after installation, my forum looks completely unformatted:

http://fortcollinsmodernquiltguild-fcmqg.rhcloud.com/forums/forum/fort-collins-modern-quilt-guild-forums/

I’ve tried removing all other plugins that didn’t come with the site, removing and re-adding themes, using the default themes, but it always looks like this. Is it supposed to look like this until I do something? Or is something else messing with what should be some sort of sane default formatting?

[Martyn Chamberlin]

Afraid I’ve already tried deactivating all plugins besides bbPress :\

[Robin W]

no problem, I remember my first time playing with FTP, which was only two years ago !

Great that you making progress !

the directory should be

wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/bbpress

[jtstables]

Should I use ‘bbpress’ie or should the directory just be wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress ? And should I use %your-theme-name% or should use my theme name, twentyeleven ? I am very confused and don’t want to mess this up.

[jtstables]

I went to the link above on how to create a child theme but when I tried to follow this link,https://make.wordpress.org/training/modules-in-progress/child-theme-module/ it was a 404 error. So I’m going to try and change the main theme. I go to the Twenty Eleven theme directory on the ftp to make the ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress directory. Correct? Should I this be the exact name of the directory? ‘bbpress’ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

[terence.milbourn]

I have installed the latest version of BBPress on a WP Multisite install, on in its own subdomain, which I guess I could map with a cname if it would help solve this problem.

I did this so that I could theme the forums differently to the primary domain.

The url looks like this now… http://forums.domain.tld/forums/

Is it possible to run BBPress as the forums subdomain, and not the subdirectory?

[Robin W]

There are companies who do this for a fee for instance

Migrate Mingle to bbpress

(I have no connection nor have I used these people !!)

[Robin W]

ok, no problem, I can’t judge how technical people are 🙂

You can do this in your main theme, but you would do better to create a child theme

Don’t be intimidated, the following should explain

Functions files and child themes – explained !

when you get to

What is FTP and how do I access it?

To access your files, you’ll need an FTP client. Some host providers do with within their administration area, check with your host provider if in doubt

I’m pretty sure form memory that hostgator has an area that does that called c-panel, but check with them if in doubt

[hms9999]

I am moderator on a BBpress forum that is being set up, I am trying to set up the forum topics, which I am able to do, however I cannot see how to set up sub topics.

I want to set up something like:

Your Music
Your video recordings
Your audio recordings

The user will then be able to post to the Video and audio topics.

When setting up the topics, I get the Topic Attributes options of the ‘forum name’ or ‘no parent’. I do not get any option to set the parent to ‘Your Video recordings’.

Many thanks in advance
Regards
Howard

Hi All!

I need to decide if WP is the way to go or build something from scratch in Laravel/ASP.NET MVC.

I need to be able to:

-Each user will have its private area (more than one private forum)
-Will have to be able to tag/categorize their forum posts
-Need for a way to store bbpress content encrypted in db.

Virtually i need to be able to create a network of private diaries (of course it will not be only that but that is the core).

Should i go full custom?

Hi Guys,

I have been looking at other support avenues as I’m really struggling to get anyone to aknowledge my issue over in this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/notification-email-link-problems/

Are there paid support options or any other avenues anyone else can recommend?

Thanks

Steve

[Robin W]

bbpress doesn’t do it’s own moderation

1. Do you have askimet running? This can flag users, and bbpress looks at this database.

2. What do you have set in Dashboard>settings>discussion in moderation and balcklists

[Robin W]

not sure why you’re posting this in bbpress support forum?
