Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Robin W]

This is a known error that occurs in some circumstances.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412

The fix is to deactivate WP_DEBUG in wp-config

This is just information and should not affect its working

[Lumartist]

Okay,

I did install a complete fresh wordpress with only bbpress. Then I added

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

to the functions.php of “Twenty Fourteen”. And again, the same problem as described above. I have to click row one. If I click below it nothing happens.

But – I also found out, that it is a problem of “Chrome” only. Everything is working fine in Firefox and others. Here the cursor jumps to row one if I click into the text field.

So I guess it might not be a problem of bbpress… Not sure.

Any Ideas?

Update WordPress to the latest version as well as bbPress? You should be fine, they’re compatible. It’s mostly other plugins you might have to worry about, but generally things should work. Make sure you take a backup of your data before proceeding.

I have found some more information that may be relevant. My forums still exist, here’s one http://whichinvestmenttrust.com/forums/topic/our-top-10-tips-on-where-to-start-as-a-new-investor/

The option to select a bbPress forum is gone when I’m creating a post but even if I use a short code such as [bbp-single-forum id=8671] the forum still fails to appear in the post.

I can’t figure out what’s stopping this from working, what is blocking it?

[Lumartist]

Okay,

I did a few tests. The Problem also appears if I enable the visual (tab) editor via functions.php, like described here: BBPress Codex, and even if I use this Plugin: bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

This is what it looks like on the Website: directupload.net Image

And this is how it looks like in chrome dev tools: directupload.net Image

Can’t believe that I am the only one with this problem… Or am I doing somethings wrong?

[dice2dice]

I had to deactivate all plugins to determine which one was causing an issue for my site. After identifying the issue (nothing to do with BbPress) and reactivating my plugins all forums have disappeared from the sites and as an option in WordPress new forum posts.

As BbPress and BuddyPress have bother both reactivated I have no idea why the forums are gone?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I’ve gone through my site several times reviewing many different options but I can’t figure this out?

My site is: http://www.whichinvest.com
I have the latest versions of WordPress/BBPress/Buddypress.

Thanks

Hello Robin,

I don;t know what the issue is with this forum, but that last reply with the pictures is the post I’ve tried to post 2 days ago…

I already solved it with custom css
http://www.pc-helpforum.be/topic/55670-wordpress-bbpress-plugin/#entry437428

(your reply wasn’t visible at that time either).

So again I don’t know what’s wrong with this forum that post get delayed posted for over a day, but it isn’t really helpful.

[Robin W]

When you read the bbpress information when it comes to customizing templates php ect it says to create a bbpress folder

I’ll take another look to see if we can improve the wording.

‘bbpress’ templates do need to go into a bbpress folder, but creating a ‘theme’ template for bbpress needs to go in the theme root.

I think that what it says, but clearly it’s not that clear 🙂

Thanks for posting

Latest WP and bbPress versions.

Go to http://www.5firemen.com/forums/

Can anyone tell me why it says “Shop” on for the title? I never titled the page and can’t find where to change it.

Thanks!

Please go to http://www.5firemen.com/forums/topic/911-stories-whats-your-name/

See below the post, where the notices state:

How do I turn that OFF?

Thanks!

It’s likely inheriting the bullets from your WordPress style.css rather than something coming from the bbPress stylesheet. So what you can do is add something like the below CSS to your bbPress stylesheet.

#bbpress-forums li {
    list-style-type: none;
}

That will likely remove bullets from forum posts as well, but it’s hard to get specific without seeing the site itself.

Hopefully that takes you in the right direction.

I’m having some problems, I cannot reply in my original post?!
When I write my message and I hit post, it does something, refreshes the page, and nothing happens, no new message or anything?!

So i’m very sorry for making a new thread, but I see no other option (i’ve been trying to reply for 24hours now without success from multiple systems)

So this was my reply on this topic

Thank you for your reply, but when I change forum root slug from forums to forum, it now allso screws up the forum page when I access it from the main website bar.

I cleared the tickbox at the forum prefix, no change either )but now the url says forum instead of forums everywhere, but still no fix.

If you have any other options for me, please let me know.
For now thank you very much!

To clearify things I´ve made some screenshots

WHen I use the website menu bar and klick on forum, everything is fine!

View post on imgur.com

WHen I klick on a subforum, still fine!

But when In the forum string I klick on forum, things go bad..

It looks like its a second footer widget area. I would edit the footer file in your child theme to do this and then inline custom css to take care of it. you would need to reference content-statstics.php to include the different pieces for stats in the footer.

for example if you place this inbetweent your <footer> and </footer> you ahouls have desired effect.

<div style=”width:66%; float:Left;”>
<?php get_sidebar( ‘footer’ ); ?>
</div>
<div style=”width:33%; float:right;”>
<?php $stats = bbp_get_statistics(); ?>
<table style=”border-width:3px” >
<tbody>
<?php do_action( ‘bbp_before_statistics’ ); ?>
<tr>
<th><li class=”blue-bullet”><?php _e( ‘Registered Users’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>:

<?php echo esc_html( $stats[‘user_count’] ); ?>
</th>

<th><li class=”blue-bullet”><?php _e( ‘Forums’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>:

<?php echo esc_html( $stats[‘forum_count’] ); ?>

</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th><li class=”blue-bullet”><?php _e( ‘Topics’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>:

<?php echo esc_html( $stats[‘topic_count’] ); ?>
</th>

<th><li class=”blue-bullet”><?php _e( ‘Replies’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>:

<?php echo esc_html( $stats[‘reply_count’] ); ?>
</th>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_after_statistics’ ); ?>

</tr></tbody></table>

<?php unset( $stats ); ?>

Now you will have to play with height box text size and add some custom css to your your style.css to get the bullets i added this right here.

ul.blue-bullet li {
color: blue;
}

and all that did is define the color of my custom bullets.

Then for users get the widget that is already included added to your footer sidebar. you should be good.

Ok I have been playing with this for a while. When you read the bbpress information when it comes to customizing templates php ect it says to create a bbpress folder within your child theme. Well bbpress isnt looking for custom folder with in my theme so it ignores anything i place in that folder. How ever if anyone is having this problem just place your custom files in your child themes directory. bbpress finds them with no problem then. for example I just redid the content-statistics.php I did not want the the list to take up so much page so I changed the formatting of the file so it would display not with a default <dl> block style but in a <table> format. you can see this here. Only the file wouldn’t read in the bbpress folder.

[wannial]

Fixed it with some custome css

[Robin W]

ok, so it sounds like a theme issue, so I googled ‘wordpress theme pinboard bbpress’ and got this

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-forum-homepage-displaying-oddly?replies=8

the advice is closed to perfect as this looks very strongly like your problem. The only issue might be that the page.php file has been changed in a later version and the lines might be slightly different.

Read this first for background

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

so try the following

1. copy page.php and rename it bbpress.php
2, edit the bbpress.php file
line 12:
<?php post_class(); ?>
to
<?php $classes=get_post_class(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $classes); ?>
4. modify LOCAL forums.php line 18:
<?php the_content(); ?>
to
$content = get_the_content(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $content); ?>
Save this file and reload it to your theme

As the link says, you should really put it into a child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but either way keep a copy of it.

Come back if this isn’t clear

Hi,
I’m using this plugin:
bbPress 2.5.4
BuddyPress 2.1.1

I have language file in /wp-content/languages/plugins
– bbpress-it_IT.mo and bbpress-it_IT.po
– buddypress-it_IT.mo and buddypress-it_IT.po

I edited them about my necessity, but today when I install a plugin I read:
“Some of the translations in need of updating. Wait a few seconds while we are updating.
Updated translations for bbPress (it_IT) …

Update translation performed successfully.
Updated translations for BuddyPress (it_IT) …

Update translation carried out with success.”

Why?
I can disable the update of language file o protect my language file?

Thanks.

Hello,

I have imported the users from phpbb into wordpress(bbpress) using Importing Tools. But the users are not able to login to system. are there any setup required to allow imported users to login?

I have checked the wp_usermeta table and many rows filled for imported users along with this column ‘_bbp_password’.

In wp_users table password is empty for imported users. I have read some where this password will update after the first login. But in my case the imported users are not able to login in WP.

can you guys help regarding this?

thanks
rehan

[Robin W]

Hey great, glad that you are fixed, an sort of see what he has changed (essentially the code was executing for a page which bbpress is and he’s essentially limited it to categories). Chances are that it won’t affect anything else.

I presume he will release this as a permanent fix at some stage, but in the meantime, keep a note of this change, in case it gets overwritten by a plugin update.

[Serch1]

Sorry for the thread up, but hope there is a function by default to delete all user posts at bbpress forums. Someone know what function is?

Thanks a lot in advance.

[MBenningfield]

I searched and maybe I have the terminology incorrect but I am wondering if there is a “verified member” plugin that I can use on bbPress. You know, similar to Twitter and Facebook’s verification marks? I am asking because our website has members that are actual wrestlers, etc, and we’d like to be able to let posters and the like know that when they say something to these guys they are in fact talking to the real deal and not some kid that made a screen name that says “hulk hogan” or something like that.

Is there a way to do this?
