I left my setup using only

wp: 4.0.1
bbpress: 2.5.4
buddypress: 2.1.1
theme: twentyfourteen

I still can’t receive email notifications for my subscribed topics.

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Hi there,

If you select “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” in WP – Settings – Readings then bbpress new topics and replies won’t be shown in Buddypress Activity.

[Sam Rohn]

you could also try to select the specific adsense css element within whatever bbpress element and then do something like

li.bbp-header .adsense {
display: none;
}

I suspect it is the loop-single-forum template

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then

remove lines 20 and 24

line 20

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

line 24

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

come back if that doesn’t work

Hi all,

I’d need to convert a bbpress-version 0.73 to the newest version.
Is there any converters etc that could do this?

I tried to use the bbpress-plugins importer and selected the old database as a source but I got an error saying that bb_meta-table is missing from db. I found out that this table has not been used in the earliest versions such as 0.73.

[atfpodcast]

I understand. Im still waiting on bbpress staff to address my issues.

[Stephen Edgar]

Sounds great, have at it 🙂

Check out and edit the Google doc here.

General guidelines on creating new codex articles:

Codex Standards & Guidelines

Make a copy of this template for each page you create:
https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=1767&action=edit

[Robkk]

i think that these topics should be discussed in a guide for users in the codex.

How to Moderate in bbPress
How to Deal with SPAM
SEO and bbPress
Common Mistakes to Avoid

How to Moderate is for users who are brand new to dealing with a forum, and are not sure how to handle it.

Dealing with SPAM will definitely be useful because alot of users make topics about how to handle it.

SEO and bbPress , there is some topics about this subject and help optimizing it would be quite useful.

Common mistakes is useful too so that users know what not to do.

what do you guys think??

[antderdog72]

i am using wordpress 3.9.2 and bbPress 2.5.4-5380.
I want to change user role automatically based on total replies created by user, so when user reached the number of total replies it will change the user role automatically.
Is it possible to do that? How I can do that?

@elenams

i thought i replied to this one..

pretty much the plugins stlye.css file will get you headed into styling bbPress the way you want it.

you copy the style.css file from the bbPress plugin folder and put it into a folder called css in your child theme then edit the new style.css file from there.

if its just small changes you can also put it into a custom css plugin of your choice.

more information on styling bbPress can be found in the codex

Codex

[Robkk]

this is not CSS its mostly PHP

from what it looks like just copy the templates the userpro plugin author gave you and place it a folder called bbpress in your child theme. the url to it should be wp-content/themes/avada-child/bbpress.

info on creating a child theme

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

[Robkk]

well it looks nice how it is already but thats my opinion.

but if you really want the default bbPress look , i think all you have to do is copy loop-single-topic.php from the bbPress plugin templates and let it overwrite the exact file in your child themes bbpress folder.

i suggest you test it out and make sure it works well in a local development area on your CPU.

@atfpodcast

well im giving up on the bbPress quicktags toolbar issue you have.

[Robkk]

huh?? i thought i replied already..

well its font-color: black;

and just using color:black; works too

any other CSS tips checkout the guides on styling bbPress in the docs

@webui1

dont make test replies in the bbPress forums

create a local-hosted site and do all the testing there.

[Robkk]

@foresme

try this.

if it doesnt work reply back

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
margin-bottom:10px;
}

[Robin W]

I don’t specifically know if that is default bbpress behaviour, suggest you try

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

If none of those show a change, then it is probably default behaviour.

Hi People !

Since today i have a forum, and i use BBpress.

http://diablorunology.com/forums/

Look very nice and all, good job! very happy with BBpress.

Only the thing is i am using the login widget or any login for users, after failed login it redirects the user / subscriber to /wp-admin.php… thats not good, because it will shut me out because i use failed login attempt plugin, also i dont want them there to be redirected.

I dont want subscribers users to go to wp-admin after failed login, how can i fix this ?

[foresme]

Hello!

I am using the Canvas theme with bbpress. I used the above fix to solve the bbpress search issue, however now bbpress seems to have lost the ability to create line breaks.

The line/paragraph breaks that are created when typing into the editor, disappear when the post is submitted, and all the paragraphs merge together making the post much harder to read.

Anyone clever got any ideas? Please help!

The problem could also be related to the new version of WP 4.0.1 which I just updated to.

Best,

Esme

Hi there,

I do ticking the option ” Notify me of follow-up replies via email” but I don’t receive any email after a member posting a new reply.

Do you have any idea?

WP 4.0.1
bbPress 2.5.4
Buddypress 2.0.1
TwentyFourteen theme

[peter-hamilton]

Been a while, spent quite a lot of time looking for a solution for the “name” issue.

Wordpress registration checks if a “username” is already used, this is great.

Buddypress is the problem cause they also add a “Name” field to registration, and this can be duplicate creating issues when multiple John Doe’s appear in my forums and activity.

Solution

I created a dirty solution by changing the label for (buddypress) Name to Username, and added a line of text urging new members to fill in the exact same name as the did in the “Username” field.

Although people can type whatever they want there, I hope most will just copy the first name.

This way the @name and username should be similar on all pages.

Then I also removed the option to change this name in the profile edit.php through CSS so no longer can people change their nicknames.
Unless a code savvy member goes to change the CSS in chrome, then the box will appear and they can change their names.

Wishlist

A solution/function where Buddypress or BBpress copies the username and adds that in the nickname field by default.

Anyway, here is a link to my current register page:

BBFacelook registration page

P.H.

[unihead]

Sorry, completely confused by that reply! 🙂 I’m not a programmer. Is this standard bbpress behaviour? It seems weird if it is.

[lynnham]

Dear bbPress,
I am contacting you all on behalf of my client who is currently having problems with their website. One of her staff members sent me an email saying they were unable to edit, delete or remove posts on my site’s forum. Not even their own. Their also experiencing problems with posting and/or responding to post. It sometimes allows them to write the post and press the post button but when they check to see if their post has loaded, it is nowhere to be found. I reached out to the organization that powers the forum but I don’t think they will be able to assist me. I’m not sure if WordPress or Buddypress controls the forums on various websites or if the organization that powers the forum can help with forum issues.
My client is using WordPress 3.7.4. and bbPress 2.4.

suggest you read

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

in particular section 6 that talks about adding a register page and putting this into your menu

and yes bbpress will work alongside buddypress

[Robin W]

sorry, but since your site requires login, we can’t see

However I’d suggest you check that no plugin updates are needed and then

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
