I’m having issues left justifying my forum as a whole. I use WordPress’s 2011 theme.

I want to have room for widgets on the right hand side–I’m using BBPress wordpress Tweaks for the widgets.

The main page of BBPress is left justified, like so (which is what I want). This allows room for the widgets on the right hand side.

As soon as I click into a subforum, the interface is centered, leading to the widgets being pushed all the way down (and looking ugly). How can I left justify this as well?

Hello BBPress experts! I need some help today.

I want to remove these pages permanently so it goes to 404:
http://website.com/member/topics/
http://website.com/member/replies/
http://website.com/member/favorites/
http://website.com/member/subscriptions/

At this time, I’ve only found out how to remove the content. I need these pages removed.

Best regards,
Ben

Playing around with a test WP install with bunch of plugins I intend to use in production.

So I installed WP at /blog and installed handful of plugins, notably bbpress and buddypress, yoast seo

This is the problem:
http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/

It doesn’t show all the forum categories. It’s showing up like a blog post/page instead.

This is one of the parent forums:
http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/forum/the-buzz/

Why is it showing /forums/forum? I only want it to be for example /forums

Now, if I try to go to http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/forum/ to see the whole list of forums like it should be, it redirects me to “forum banners”?

MY SETTINGS:

permalinks: post name

Yoast SEO: %%title%% %%page%%

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

Hello,

I am using BuddyPress with bbPress. Firstly I had a problem in which replies were not visible in forum topics. Then I followed this thread, and after installing bbpress wp4 fix I got my issue fixed.

But now a different issue has come where all my topics are redirecting to the first topic. Check my forum HERE. Although the link coming is proper, its just content is of first topic.

Can anyone please give me a solution for this?

[Matt]

I tried this and it actually works.

Place Adsense over single from topic

That is really simple way to place ads over the single topic of your bbpress forum. You just use ftp to customize the following file

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php

Just place your Adsense ads code over or under

Also you can place that on otherwhere such

content-single-forum.php
content-archive-forum.php
content-archive-topic.php

[gdavide]

I’ve successfully installed bbpress2 and migrated every content from the old mingle forum and topics/reply to bbpress, by following these advices:
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/

To rewrite every old mingle topic’s google search to bbpress, i’ve modified the .htaccess file on the root directory as shown below:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum/forum-group2/discussioni-forum1/(.*)-thread\d+ http://www.mysite.it/forums/topic/$1/ [R,L]

(in my case i’ve only one forum)
It works!

[Robkk]

your registration page is made from BuddyPress.

unless there is another registration made from the bbPress register form shortcode that is causing the problem.

you can try deactivating your plugins one at a time and try to find if there is a plugin causing the issue.

other than that i guess go to https://buddypress.org/support/

Ok, I’ve had a look, and worked out where bbpress was overriding the moderator issue.

I have released a new version 2.5.2 which will do as the help text says

Moderators with a group set can only see, participate and moderate open forums (those with no private group set) or forums which they belong to.

Moderators with NO group set can see, participate and moderate all forums

Please update and come back and confirm this does what you want

[Robin W]

see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but basically at the end.

[Robin W]

Wish I was a team !!

I suspect that this is how it works.

For participant roles I can use my plugin to tightly control access.

For moderators, originally moderators could see and moderate all forums.

I then amended this to allow them to moderate only forums with no group set or with their group set. However this related to moderation, I have sort of presumed that moderators could see other groups and have participant rights in them, just not moderate, as it was moderation that I was controlling.

I suspect that some users would like it as above, and others with no rights for other private forums, as you desire.

I’ll take another look at the code to see how easy it is to change, but moderation hits into many places in the core bbpress code, and I’m not sure how easy it would be to be that flexible.

bbPress have two types of notifications: new message in topic or new topic in forum. Functions that sends messages in bbpress/includes/common/functions.php. You can’t redeclare they. You need to remove default functions and add your custom one. Here is my working code for armyofselenagomez.com wich sends emails via external SMTP server (like Mandrill. but I use Yandex, like Gmail but in Russia). Be careful with priorities and numbers of arguments to pass.

Logis of process:

1. User leave a message or create a topic.
2. Create single wp-crone task which create messages and send it.

Positive sides of this solution: Emails sends per user (not 1 email per 100000 users like in bbPress by default). Site work faster because emails send via cron, not immediately. I dont store emails or messages to send in DB, just topic ID. Emails sends via SMTP server (not just PHP Mailer or wp_mail()).

Hi Robin and team,
I am using bbp Private groups plugin with bbpress. This has been of great help for many. However, I am having this strange issue with moderator type of forum user.
Moderator user though assigned to a single private group is able to view forum topics and create topic that belong to a different group.
Below are two users I created in the system. Both belong to same private group:

Name Private Group(s) Wordpress & bbPress Roles
—————– ——————– ————————–
nishant.moderator Group1 GroupA Subscriber/Moderator
nishant.participant Group1 GroupA Subscriber/Participant

I have created two forums. Below is a snapshot of Management information tab of bb private groups:
Group1 Group name : GroupA
No. users in this group : 2
Forums in this group :
ForumA
No. forums that have this group set : 1
Group2 Group name : GroupB
No. users in this group : 0
Forums in this group :
ForumB
No. forums that have this group set : 1

nishant.moderator is able to view topics and add topic for ForumB as well which should not be allowed ideally.

Please help me with this issue.

Thanks
Nishant

Hi everyone,

though I’ve used this forum a lot lately, here’s my first post:

I’m using a custom plugin which uses Mandrill API instead of wp_mail() to notify (future) users.
I’m trying to hook bbpress notification to use templates with Mandrill yet after hours of search around the web I can’t find how to do so. Could you please, help me on this one?
I’ve already created a setting which enables me to pass the name of the wanted template but I don’t know how to superseed bbpress wp_mail() method…

Thanks in advance

[Robkk]

1. heres a pretty good tutorial in the docs to style your bbPress forums with some CSS

bbPress Styling Crib

2. if your talking about maybe downloading some already styled templates there is none, i think bbPress standalone had this but theme compatibility makes giving away already styled templates pretty tough.

if you actually want to see what users could create with bbPress check out some of the sites listed here

bbpress.org/about/examples/

3. as long as you follow this link

codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

you can use the templates to customize bbPress forums to your liking.

also checking the rest of the docs wouldnt be bad too.

codex.bbpress.org/

Hello! I’m finishing a custom theme to bbPress, but one thing that is challenging me: bbPress editor displays a simple textarea, and nothing more. I also used the plugin to enable visual tab, but also failed. By using the theme Twentfifteen, the editor appears normally.

Can anyone tell what’s going on?

PT: Olá! Eu estou acabando um tema personalizado para o bbPress, mas tem uma coisa que está me desafiando: o editor do bbPress exibe uma textarea simples, e nada mais. Também usei o plugin para habilitar a aba visual, mas também não deu certo. Ao usar o tema Twentfifteen, o editor aparece normalmente.

Alguém pode dizer o que está acontecendo?

[Robkk]

hmmm thats weird

hopefully while your trying to fix it , you didn’t do more harm than good.

heres a list of things you can do

contact your hosting providers support

see if they can find any issues you might have if you installed an SSL certificate or any other issues that might cause it like a CDN setup or such in their environment but im only guessing.

post a topic here https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation

im saying post a topic here because I don’t know much about this kind of issue , and im sure the people at their support team can help. I just know some stuff about bbPress and some stuff in WordPress to get by, like I said it’s highly unlikely that bbPress or BuddyPress could cause the issue im not ruling it out but its highly unlikely.

if your site is a live site do a scan also at sitecheck.sucuri.net

do a scan just in case something bad might of happened.

you can also wait until someone else picks up the topic from here and give you any other additional information.

[Robkk]

@freeman7

you can delete it with ftp if you really want to

BuddyPress and bbPress shouldn’t mess with the login process, but deactivate them using the ways mentioned in that tutorial and see if that fixes your problem.

its most likely not BuddyPress and bbPress though , so try to find another plugin that might be causing it.

[Robkk]

the way bbPress outputs the login page bugs me, a lot. What I am trying to do is add a login box to my layout, when I did – I found it added a list and a horrible fieldset around the whole thing. This doesn’t work with my design at all.

are you using the shortcode [bbp-login] ??

you should use that shortcode if not.

more shortcodes supplied with bbPress that you can use.

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

I found there is no template readily available to just change. Really?

yes there is its called form-user-login.php

So, it seems all I can do is hack away at the core code, which will all be reverted once a new version comes around.

dont do that

[Brian]

I havent installed any security plugins.

I use the http://www.mysite.co.uk/wp-admin/ and it redirects to http://www.mysite.co.uk/wp-admin/PHP

Can i delete the buddypress and bbpress plugins using FTP?

[Brian]

Hi

I have installed buddypress and then bbpress.

I created to users in another browser. I then logged out of the my wordpress site and when went back to loggin it wont allow me to. It will only accept the users i created for the buddypress site.

Now i am unable to login to wordpress ay help appriciated??

[Robkk]

i found this, i havent tested it though with the latest version of bbPress and WordPress though.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-ignore-user/

[Editor Mike]

Hi,

I have tried searching but found nothing relevant.

Does bbPress have a plugin that allows users to ignore the posts of other users?
Like the friend/Foe feature that PhP forums have?

[Robin W]

It bugs me as well.

Two solutions I have documented

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

You can also copy the core file into your functions file, hack it and rename it. There are several places it needs renaming, and if you would like to post your working solution, I’ll happily make a functions file version, as long as I can use it publicly
