Hello, i have set up some categories and forums, but I see that something is going wrong, everything is one forum next to the other one on the listing on the index and category index.
I have checked bbPress forum files to see I i can manage to edit some html out but I can’t figure this out, heres a screenshot.
WordPress version: 4.0.1
bbPress version: 2.5.4

Hi,
I run http://baconcape.com and we have an issue with the bbpress plugin, the full post in a topic or replies don’t show up. I think it is an issue with our match ticker plugin and bbpress.
Here is the link to our bbpress forums http://www.baconcape.com/forums/ the match ticker is just below the breadcrumbs.
Topics don’t show up unless they are stickied as you can see here: http://www.baconcape.com/forums/forum/counter-strike-global-offensive/
And topic content or replies don’t show up which you can see here: http://www.baconcape.com/forums/topic/post-your-team-name-and-lineup-here/
Does anyone know how we can fix this? I think the match ticker is telling bbpress to not show certain things but I don’t know where I should look or how to fix this?
If you need admin or something I can provide that, our email is bacon.cape@gmail.com
Thanks for trying to help,
Adam
Hello!
Paragraphs in posts have stopped working.
The paragraphs or new lines I create in the editor don’t show up when I submit the post. Instead, all the text is merged together, making it much harder to read.
Does anyone clever have some sort of magical solution to this very frustrating problem?
Thank you my friends!

I wonder if it has anything to do with a recent fix I used for the forum search….
I added “bbpress.php” into my child theme. This file can be downloaded here: https://gist.github.com/mattyza/1b01583441b11c8d04d0
Add the following code into my “functions.php” file: https://gist.github.com/mattyza/f210cadb7f70188d513d
The bbPress Codex is back up and runninng for the users listed in @JJJ’s post abbove, a couple more tweaks are needed to fix a couple of outstanding issues.
@robkk I’ve added you as an Administrator, @robin-w you are also an Administrator now 🙂

Hello,
I’m loving wordpress and trying to love bbpress, I think I’m very close to getting there. I have a large phobia community I’m working to convert to bbpress.
On my Forum list view the alignment of the Topics and Posts (also called Voices and Replies in the stock install?) looks good.
But on the Topic view, the alignment is off and pushed over to the right. Is there any way to fix or control this alignment issue?
You are correct, the string Last comment, Topics/Replies are NOT bbPress strings, these strings will be in either the theme you are using with custom bbPress templates or a plugin you are using.
As a side note, WordPress 3.9 and bbPress 2.5 and above versions no longer need define(‘WPLANG’, ‘tr_TR’); in wp-config.php, and coming in WordPress 4.1 you can select your language from in WordPress settings 🙂
The biggest advantage of the above is translations will be included when you update WordPress or bbPress, the only condition to receive the language packs automatically is that the language pack is 100% translated, if that is the case then translations are automatically delivered. 🙂
It would be amazing if you could help get the Turkish locale 100% for bbPress 🙂 If you use BuddyPress that would also be awesome, WordPress is already 100% 🙂

Hello,
It has been 2 years since I couldn’t resolve this issue.
I have a bbpress forum installed on my wordpress site. http://www.outdoorhaber.com/forum
The site is in Turkish.
Some information for you to eliminate errors
I added define(‘WPLANG’, ‘tr_TR’); to wp-config
I exported https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/tr/default po and mo files
I renamed the exported files to bbpress-tr_TR.po and bbpress-tr_TR.mo
I put those 2 files both in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages and wp-content/languages/bbpress (I tried to put files only in 1 of the folders and vice versa, but did no good)
I am about to have a complete brain meltdown, just because of bbpress language issue.
The weird thing is; I download bbpress turkish files from various sources. 1st the official project page (by exporting), then some people translated the files.. I want to translate “Last comment” but there is no match (nothing to translate) in po file. (The one exported from here https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/tr/default)
Come one please export a po file from the link above, and ctrl+f “Last comment” in poedit. You will see, there is nothing to translate..
Here is a screenshot for what I mean
Here are my po and mo files
http://www.outdoorhaber.com/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-tr_TR.po
http://www.outdoorhaber.com/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-tr_TR.mo
The reason why I gave so much detail is to eliminate unnecessary “did you do this, that” replies.
Please someone help me.
When I imported bbpress forums into wordpress, some posts had html code remaining. This is very simple code like <p></p>, . Is there a plugin that will clean up this simple html code in the posts?
it should still work no problem . since it bascially is using a filter that bbPress provides to activate the visual editor
but i mean if you do come across a problem with this very light plugin just uninstall it.
see if this helps, copy the link and search google
github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout
download the .zip file and upload the loop-forums.php file to your bbpress folder in your child theme.
you create a category by create selecting new forum in the WordPress backend and changing the type to category.
to put forums under each category make sure all the forums you want under a specific category has the parent as that category
the docs should help out alot for learing how to use a child theme for your bbPress installation
Codex
read some of this , highlight site names and search google.
nutsandboltsmedia.com/does-your-website-really-need-ssl/
but basically if your website is doing some kind of credit card transaction , definitely
if your site forums are all private community an secure connection would help
if you have paid memberships an Secure connection would help
Do most of you purchase an SSL for your forums ?
im just going to show you some examples of forums that use a secure connection somewhere
heres a list or sites that bbpress.org likes.
bbpress.org/about/examples/
dalluva.com uses a secure connection on their register/login forms
support.advancedcustomfields.com/ doesnt use a secure connection even on their store on the rest of their site , they let users pay with paypal on the store
mojo-themes.com doesnt use a secure connection on sign up and forums but they use it for their store section
hub.jmonkeyengine.org/ doesnt use a secure connection
community.presscrew.com/ doesnt use a secure connection
swnk.org doesnt use a secure connection
tamrielfoundry.com/ doesnt use a secure connection
I had upgraded a bbpress from 1.1 to current 2.5.4. And I realized yesterday, that there is about 75 replies that are not showing up. I do believe they are spam replies which occurred sometime with bbpress 1.1. When I go into wp’s dashboard to view replies, it just shows the number of replies “Publisher (75)”, but there is no way to see a listing or view any of the replies. If I go into Widgets, and put recent replies in a sidebar, the rest of my sidebar contents disappear. The same happens if I put the replies widget in the footer. The only plugins installed are Askimet and BBPress. The theme used is Twenty Ten. I believe I have to go into the database to view and probably delete the replies, but I’m not sure where to look. In what part of the database are replies hosted?
Well, what I want in wordpress is:
add_action('delete_user', 'delete_posts_and_attachments');
function delete_posts_and_attachments($user_id) {
$args = array (
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'any',
'author' => $user_id
);
// get all posts by this user: posts, pages, attachments, etc..
$user_posts = get_posts($args);
if (empty($user_posts)) return;
// delete all the user posts
foreach ($user_posts as $user_post) {
wp_delete_post($user_post->ID, true);
}
}
But where and how can I delete posts from bbpress? any help will be appreciated :\
Odds and even no. replies have alternating colors
#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: #fbfbfb;
}
#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background-color: #fff;
}
the IP blocking feature in the comments section is different than i expected you would probably need a seperate ban plugin to do as i meant.
the word filter does work in bbPress though
I’ve typed a reply to you and submitted it but bbpress isn’t displaying it. If I try again it tells me I’ve already submitting that comment but it isn’t showing up?? Is this a bbpress bug or is my comment awaiting approval or something? Is there a limit to adding links in the post? I had 3.
no its not a bug its a spam prevention measure since the spam attack only 2 links can be posted now.
if you need to link us with more than 3 just post the url without the http://
i can just highlight and google search it.

this is for the padding.
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum,
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
overflow: hidden;
padding: 8px;
}

the tiny avatar CSS is ok but just so you know if it was any bigger the css will make the image distort and look blurry.
you can change the avatar size in the templates if you go to the loop-single-topic.php file and find something similar to 'size' => 14 i think in your case it would be 16 maybe
and change that number to 24
you should also do this to the loop-single-forum.php file too.
—
also add this additional CSS so you can remove the voice count number making everything awkward
.bbp-body li.bbp-topic-voice-count {
display:none;
}
to remove it in the templates go to loop-single-topic.php
and remove this
<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php bbp_topic_voice_count(); ?></li>
its the ip address of the current user
to know for sure search this in google: whats my ip address?
and then it should show it there
the ip addresses only show for admin users
its there so you can ban the users that are spam , human/bots
you can ban them using WordPress comment blacklist in settings>discussion
bbPress uses some of those settings too.
use this css to remove it.
span.bbp-author-ip {
display: none !important;
}
The CKEditor Plugin makes it possible to use CkEditor with WordPress comments on articles (frontend). But there is no option to integrate it with bbPress or BuddyPress as I already mentioned. Either the plugin should offer those options or bbPress/BuddyPress. That would be great.
For now, mybe there is a core hack to get CKEditor into bbPress.
I am using CKEditor prior to TinyMCE with WordPress (up to date version). The editor works within backend for writing a new WordPress article. There is a plugin for WordPress which will integrate the CKEditor. I would like to use CKEditor with bbPress to create new topics in Forum (frontend) or comment on Topics, but couldn’t find any solution to integrate it.
I really like the way bbPress works with WordPress and BuddyPress. Clean, lightweight and straight forward. But integrating a powerful editor would be +1 🙂
Thanks again Robkk
I was able to successfully replace the loop-single-topic.php file in my theme with the stock bbpress version and voila, large avatars are removed as I desired and they’ve been replaced with the stock smaller ones. Awesome!
Searching the support forums here I was also able to find this code and add it to my Custom Code section which allowed be to play with the size of the avatar too. Awesome again!
.bbp-body .bbp-topic-title img.avatar,
.bbp-body .bbp-topic-freshness img.avatar,
.bbp-template-notice img.avatar,
.bpp-author-avatar img.avatar {
width: 24px;
}
I think one of the last pieces I need to fix before converting my phpbb3 forum to bbpress is adjusting the padding on the Forum list and Topic list pages.
http://splitboard.com/talk2/
The padding is much larger than I desire, I’d like the padding to be as minimal as possible which will allow for more content on the screen without scrolling.
Can you please help me adjust the padding to be closer to the stock bbpress styling, like here?
As you can see, the topics are much narrower.
Thanks!
Let me know if there’s already a topic on adjusting the padding or if I should start a new thread.
Thanks Robkk
I’ve typed a reply to you and submitted it but bbpress isn’t displaying it. If I try again it tells me I’ve already submitting that comment but it isn’t showing up?? Is this a bbpress bug or is my comment awaiting approval or something? Is there a limit to adding links in the post? I had 3.
I sure would love to share my comment regarding your last suggestion.
Hello there,
I would like to integrate CKEditor with bbPress. I have already installed a plugin to integrate CKEditor with commenting wordpress related posts, but I have not found anything to make CKEditor visible with bbPress. Is there any way to add some code to core files? I am fairly new to to bbPress.
@robkk,
Thank you for that here is a little more info because i don’t understand where to place that code:
What I want to do is add a button ( which I will later style in my css) that will just take the user back to the forum (basically a button that is a breadcrumb).
I would place all the information here but bbpress reply box is not letting me for some reason. But you can read the information here where I placed it in the wrong section before I asked it here https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-add-a-button-in-loops-replies-php-file/
Hello Robkk! Thanks a lot for your detailed suggestion. I know this way to delete users from wordpress backend, but I’m looking for the function who does this in order to add a little code to my bbpress frontend 🙂
you can use any of these hooks to add a button there using a function
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_subscription_action' );
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_subscription_action' );
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_favorites_action' );
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_favorites_action' );
