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' );
more info on using action hooks

to enable visual editor install this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/
to remove the code button use this
add it to your child themes functions.php or a functionality plugin.
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'rkk_bbp_edit_quick_editor' );
function rkk_bbp_edit_quick_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['quicktags'] = array( 'buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,img,ul,ol,li,close' );
return $args;
}

in the trac they are trying to add this feature and at least an option to disable it.

[bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1430]
if you do not want pingbacks and trackbacks remove any code that is for the comments section when you create a bbpress.php and see if that fixes it.
just delete the user from the WordPress backend
go to users>all users then search for the user you want to delete
hover around there avatar and name and you will a bunch of links which one of them says delete
click that
then the next screen which is added from bbPress which says
[] delete all content
[] attribute all content to: {some username}
tick delete all content then confirm deletion
try this
add it anywhere you add custom css
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-author {
margin: -15px 10px 10px;
min-height: 100px;
padding-left: 80px;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name {
clear: none;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 0;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
position: absolute;
top: 15px;
left: 0;
width: 60px;
height: auto;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-author-role {
font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal;
}
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content {
clear: both;
margin: 10px;
padding: 0;
}
@satanicdogooder
did you add these too?? it seems like its the only thing your missing when i checked your website.
/* try to make these two different types of dark shades if you care about having an AB color pattern of replies/topics/forums. */
#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: inherit;
}
#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background-color: inherit;
}
Hello,
I’ve been looking for a function to delete all user posts and topics from a user ID without luck. What I’m looking for is something like:
delete_all_posts_and_topics(bbp_get_current_user_id());
Anyone know if bbPress has a similar function or some clue to how implement it?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Is it a secret or something?
no i pretty much told you that its might be just switching the loop-single-topic.php file in your child theme with the original bbpress plugin version if you wanted the smaller avatars.
if it still looked weird the rest would’ve been just fixing a couple of lines of CSS
to completely remove them you would need to hand me a link to your site and I’ll give you a little CSS which will allow you to remove them.
you can also just remove the avatars with PHP
but just adding this code should work on an original bbPress loop-single-topic template.
.avatar-14 { display: none !important; }
is the bbpress support is dead ? :/
Holiday weekend here in the U.S.
You’re using two versions of software that aren’t labeled as being compatible, so your mileage will likely vary. If you can be more specific and take a bit of initiative to investigate what’s broken, it’s possible someone can help you work this out. That said, your best bet is to use current and compatible versions.
Same problem with last version of WP and bbPress.

Hello,
I am hosting a wordpress website with bbPress.
Everything is working great, expect for 1 thing that is pretty annoying.
How can I use the empty space, since I use 2x site bars, the space is already limited.

Ah well, I can tell you where I went wrong the first time I tried to do it – I didn’t have any users other than the ones that imported in the site (multisite install), even though I had plenty of users in the network. Once I put the users into the site where I was running the forum import, then it worked properly.
Probably a simple matter, but not something I intuitively realized since it’s my first time attempting to use bbpress and manage the setup/import/etc by myself.
WP – 4.0.1 – multisite bbPress 2.5.4
Forgive me if I’m asking a repeat question but I’m struggling to find an answer and I’ve searched every combination here I can think of…
I’ve imported from phpBB into a new bbPress install on a new MU install.
The user names on the previous phpBB are not the same (emails, user names or display names) for the accounts they need to be attributed to on the bbPress.
I saw a reference in one of Stephens posts last week about deleting users and changing their posts to a different user, but I’ve not been able to find the directions.
Any help would be appreciated, it’s the last thing I need to do so that I can kill the old phpBB and move forward with the bbPress.
Hi those codes worked great on the bbpress forum paage! However they did not translate to the topics section. I added them to my child Css.styles.

Any idea why the background of these pages did not take to the CSS change?

Hello:
Using the following: (Twenty Thirteen, WP 4.0.1, bbPress 2.5.4, bbPress-Admin Bar 1.7.1, bbPress-Email notifications 0.3, s2Member 141007)
We can no longer add attachments (pdf docs, and the like) into Forum Topics. Previous attachments into Topics are also no longer available or present in the older Topic posts.
The Media Library shows the attachments as linked to the Topic post and a separate page for the file when opened with limited settings available in the sidebar when you view the Media Library item (Forum post attachment).
The Forum Topic post attachment capability was available prior to recent updates of WP and our plug-ins. Also, more strangely, – prior attachments that were no longer viewable in the Topics became viewable on the open web through Google search of our domain name. The path of the files were shown as “/wp-contents/uploads/2014” even though the documents were posted/attached in a secure (“Subcriber” login required) Forum. The world could see our file attachments but not our secured users, ironically enough.
I’m totally confused now with the settings of s2Member and bbPress that will allow secured users to attach files to their Topic posts without them being viewable by the world. The option to attach a file to a Forum Topic post, is in fact, now gone. We did use Forums to post documents to logged in user members to our site under a specific Subject. Is there a better way or am I missing new settings somewhere?
I appreciate your help or suggestions. Thanks!
