if you were here I’d give you a big kiss.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , your welcome i guess?? haha

about it not being updated in over a year , the plugin is very simple it basically just outputs a shortcode at the bottom of blog posts.

and also that this functionality is going to be implemented in the future release of bbPress.

so when the update comes and says bbPress for WordPress comments in the changelog of the plguin. you can pretty much just remove the topics for posts plugin from there on and just use bbPress.

[Robkk]

add this anywhere you can add custom css and see if this works

.bbpress .container {
max-width:100%;
}

if it doesnt try this also

.bbpress .container {
max-width:100% !important;
}

[Robkk]

yeah you shouldnt edit the core files.

i see there is additional quotation marks in your code maybe replacing it with this will help.

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '90' ) ) ); ?></span>

@shortgigs

its probably because your bbpress styling is custom or you need to clear some cache maybe.

make an administrator account with also the forum role being keymaster. and send the login details to robkk17@gmail (dot) com and ill check on it later.

i need an administrator/keymaster account just so i can check on the IP address thing.

[dice2dice]

It is the plugin. I had it turned off because WordPress warns that it hasn’t been updated for over a year.

@robkk if you were here I’d give you a big kiss. I’ve had over 30 emails/contact form messages from website members complaining about the forums disappearing. My web designer in in the Arctic for Xmas, I couldn’t find anyone else with bbPress experience, couldn’t find any instance of a similar problem through many, many internet searches, it’s been a stressful 24 hours so thank you very kindly.

@skisma i think that was just a mockup from this website in the link below

and the author of this topic just stumbled upon it.

http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?630149-bbPress-theme-project-Design-wireframe-UI/page3

and since this is from 2009 it is most likely the bbpress standalone version 1.0x and such

but you could accomplish close to the same result using wp-usersonline plugin and also the inbuilt stats shortcode and just a little bit of CSS.

create a new topic about this though.

[Robkk]

untick topic/reply edit logging in settings>forums to disable the logging of future posts.

and add this CSS anywhere you can add custom CSS to hide the edit logs on any existing posts.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-reply-revision-log {
display: none;
}

Hi there,
im pretty new to WordPress and css.
Till now everything worked fine but now im trying to resize my bbpress forum (www.die-dunkle-wache.de/forum) to the whole width of the browser.

I tried to change the Template but this didnt work.
I just want the forum to resize all the other pages and the navbar schould stay like they are.
Hope u can help me.

Best Regards,
Gotzak

@dice2dice

are you using bbPress Topics for Posts??

because i think that plugin has that kind of functionality if i can recall.

[dice2dice]

See the following image which is in the ‘New Post’ section of the back end of the site. The arrow highlights where there used to be an option to add a bbPress forum but it’s now gone:

http://whichinvestmenttrust.com/wp-content/uploads/bbPress-option-has-gone.jpg

[dice2dice]

Yes the forums still exist @Robk but they’ve disappeared from posts.

What I mean by that is when you create a new post you have the option of adding a bbPress forum, an option which I always took so that every article has a new or an existing forum linked to it. But the option to add a forum has disappeared, and worse than that so have all the forums have disappeared from every post.

Here is a great example of a post that that had man comments and that looks ridiculous without its forum:
http://whichinvestmenttrust.com/investor-clinic-income-life-required-inheritance/

Thor forum is always at the bottom of the page.

I don’t understand how I simply cannot have forums on my posts any more and after 20 hours of searching around the internet I have no semblance of an answer.

How does bbPress integrate with WordPress? What would prevent it from suddenly not integrating?

[dice2dice]

Where is bbPress support???????

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[sharongraylac]

Hello there,

Just integrated bbpress into my website, and noticed a strange CSS issue.

The replies in forums are shifted to the left, slightly wider than the original post. This not only makes the author’s avatar shift to the left, but it also hides my left-sided border.

This occurred BEFORE I started tampering with the CSS.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Here’s my mock forum: http://bellynsoul.com/forums/topic/another-test-topic/#post-7650

Thanks so much!
Sharon

My question is simple, but for the life of me I cannot find the answer.

I am creating my own theme from scratch. Currently I’m working on bbPress integration. So far everything is going well; however, I would like to remove the | separator that appears between Favorite and Subscribe (Favorite | Subscribe) when viewing a post. I cannot find where this dang separator is located and it needs to be gone.

Please see the attached image for further clarification. You’ll quickly see how the separator does not belong.

thank you for any assistance.

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?

Btw: As soon as I add links into this answer it disappears…

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.

[dice2dice]

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

I want to update wordpress 3.9 version on my videos website but little confuse that bbpress will work fine after updation.

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.
