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

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!

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!

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.

Fixed it with some custome css

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

I am using wp-mail-smtp & the test email works fine by the way. Any suggestions to why it does not work for BBPress?

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

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?

[xprt007]

Hi

The recipe plugin update ended up solving a small connected issue, but not the main one mentioned above. I informed the author again this morning & he quickly acted saying he found the bug in the plugin:

OK, bug confirmed and (hopefully) found and resolved.

Could you please edit the file php/class/rpr_core.php in the recipepress-reloaded plugin folder and change line 317 from
if( !is_page() && ! is_attachment() ){
to
if( is_home() || is_category() || is_tag() ){

This should be it. However this might introduce other problems I couldn’t find so far.

Editing that file immediately made it possible to get the forum archive at /forums, with the recipe plugin activated, which was not possible before.

The hope is nothing else is affected by this change. So I am going to check if the forum & other aspects of the site are running normally. I have no experience to tell if that code could affect some other function in WP.
It seems the cause lies outside, though it affects bbpress.

I had not yet got time to try the short code solution.

Very grateful, though for your support.

Kind regards

ok, the database entry for usermeta is correct, and a moderator should be able to see forums in the dashboard.

I’m stuck as to what to suggest next, usually not see dashboard items is a conflict between bbpress and another plugin, but you’ve already tested for that.

My only other thought is to create a new mamp, and then export and import forums to it and see if it’s something in that.

[MBenningfield]

I installed the GD bbPress Tools plugin and the plugin itself works great. However, when you go to edit profile so that you can edit your signature, everything is “white” and you can’t see what you have written, etc. I originally had this issue on the actual bbPress forums but I downloaded the bbPress UI settings and changed it to a dark theme. I am completely lost in codec’s and css, etc, but I would like to know what to do to change this as it is really annoying some of the people that joined our site. I’m attaching a picture of what the issue appears to be.

Wordpress Version is 4.0.1.
Theme is Falcon (Child theme of 2014 themes)
GD bbPress Tools version is 1.6

Thank you guys for helping me out with this! I set up the bbpress folder within my theme and added the file to it, it worked like a charm!

[Dirk]

No, I don´t have bbPress Advanced Capabilities in the mix anymore. I deleted the plugin.
I installed it, because I thought it may help me with my problem.
When I first ran into these problem I had no capabilities changing plugin installed at all. bbPress worked fine. It started with changing the login_name in wp_users in the database of a user who was Moderator.
My workaround in the moment is changing the Moderator to Keymaster, so he can create forums in the dashboard and the common users, who don´t see the WP-toolbox on top of the page, can create topics and answers over the frontend. But it doesn´t give me a good feeling that something is wrong and I am not able to repair it. I don´t know now where I should dig deeper.
Can I provide you with more information?

Hi there!

I apologize if someone else has already posted about this, but I did a search and didn’t find someone with my exact error. But I have been using bbPress version 2.5.4 with WordPress version 4.0.1, and it was working great for the past few days until I tried to use CMS2CMS to transfer over my forum from phpBB to WordPress. It now has “Page Not Found” errors, even after removing all traces of the CMS2CMS plugin. I can not access any portion of my forum, but everything looks fine on the back end. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of my plugins and still continue to get the error. What am I missing?

Here is the link to my site:

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Disregard, I atleast have it figured out for now. I copied the theme-styles.php file to the child theme and then searched for;

	if ( is_page_template('page-landing.php') || is_page_template('page-alt-home.php') ) {
		$layout = "Full-Width";
		global $solostream_options;
		$solostream_options['solostream_layout'] = $layout;

and added the following right below it…

	if ( is_bbpress() ) {
          $layout = "Full-Width";
          global $solostream_options;
          $solostream_options['solostream_layout'] = $layout;
     }

I have a child theme setup using the Child Theme Configurator plugin. I have the following in the child theme folder; style.css, function.php and bbpress.php (renamed from page.php).

I am using the WP-Englightened theme.

I copied the page.php to the child root and renamed it to bbpress.php. There doesn’t seem to be anything in that file to remove for the sidebar.

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'before' ); ?>

<?php 
	if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 
	global $do_not_duplicate;
	$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID;
?>

						<div <?php post_class('singlepage clearfix'); ?> id="single-page-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

							<div class="entry">

								<h1 class="page-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

								<?php if ( get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'video_embed', true ) ) {
									$video_embed = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'video_embed', true );
									echo '<div class="post-feature-video single">';
									echo '<div class="single-video">';
									echo $video_embed;
									echo '</div>';
									echo '</div>';
 								} ?>

								<?php the_content(); ?>

								<div style="clear:both;"></div>

								<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>

							</div>

						</div>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'after' ); ?>

I tried putting this in the style.css file based on a thread here.

.site,
.site-header {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
	background: none repeat-y right 0;
	padding-right: 0;
}

.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, 
.page-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.form-allowed-tags {
	display: none;
}

div.bbp-breadcrumb, 
div.bbp-topic-tags {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

.bbpress .hentry {
	margin: 0 auto 48px;
	max-width: 100%;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {
	.bbpress .site-content {
		margin-right: 0;
		margin-left: 182px;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1080px) {
	.bbpress .site-content {
		margin-left: 222px;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1218px) {
	.bbpress .site-content .entry-content {
		margin-right: 0;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 673px) {
	.bbpress .site-content {
		margin-right: 0;
	}
}

If I create a page and use the short code for bbpress and tell it in the page options to do full width it works fine for the main page but not for the rest of them.

[Robin W]

hmmm… This conmbination should be able to see forums in the dashboard

Do you still have bbPress Advanced Capabilities in the mix? I’d still suspect this to be the issue if you have eliminated plugins and themes.
