I have this problem after just installing bbpress for the 1st time. I’ve noticed that whatever page I have listed for ‘Forum Root’ in Settings will not respond to many of the page changes. I’ve tried adding breadcrumbs and they won’t show. I’ve tried removing the sidebar altogether and the sidebar still shows. I try changing the sidebar to a different set of widgets and it doesn’t respond.

If I change this ‘Forum Root’, the page will then accurately respond to all changes. I’m using Enfold theme.

are you sure bbPress is causing the problem??

deactivate and reactivate your plugins one at a time and check and see if the problem persists when bbPress is activated to make sure.

[Robkk]

contact whatever theme your using support forum.

bbPress adds a title out of the box, with no additional editing of files.

it all depends on your theme.

[Robkk]

in a unmodified bbpress fresh install you should see the ip right around the users avatar in a topic.

block bots if its regular people that are just acting wild go edit their profile and change it to blocked.

[Robkk]

@evilhare if its a bbPress WP Tweaks plugin problem go to their support.

if you think it could maybe your themes compatibility with the plugin go to your theme support.

@minoumimi

i dont recommend users creating new topics from the admin bar or the backend unless there just keymasters and maybe moderators too.

i would even allow only keymasters and moderators in the backend of my site.

users should only edit the topics/replies using the admin links on each post.

if you only do this they should only edit their own posts

as for being the proper tools ,

there is a tag input box by the topic if you have tags enabled

tinymce toolbar can be activated using
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

and the revisions should show up if you activate revision logs

attachments can be available with some plugins

other than that the other stuff the users shouldn’t touch.

[Robkk]

so if we forget

no one forget.

@durqrimast contact userpros support

i cant test it out without buying the plugin.

i did find this in like 20 seconds though

http://userproplugin.com/userpro/forums/topic/integrating-userpro-profile-links-user-badges-in-bbpress/

[Robkk]

try combining the two into this and try it.

i tested in twenty-fourteen and it worked.

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body div.topic {
    background-color: #0099FF;
    border: 1px solid #dd6;
}

@melanie-bund

if you are a web designer from the website thats mentioned at the bottom of the website

you can do alot of things to make it where a forum doesnt look awkward

changing posts, voices, freshess, topics lalbes at the top to just icons

and more depending on where your imagination takes you.

i suggest maybe only showing the topic count in the forum archive

and move the freshness stats below the title of each forum

and showing only the posts stats for any forum you have just entered

and move the freshness stats below the title of each topic.

more info on designing can be found at the docs

I’m finally getting back around to working on this and realized I’ll need to hide the topics from a specific user role as well. I can’t just remove spectate/participate capabilities because I need them to be able to post topics, just like users who aren’t logged in.

I’m having trouble finding a way to get the current user’s role for bbPress so I can use it in the same manner I used the user’s ID above.

I found this function, but it returns the WordPress role (administrator, editor, etc):

function get_user_role() {
    global $current_user;

    $user_roles = $current_user->roles;
    $user_role = array_shift($user_roles);

    return $user_role;
}

Can I somehow adapt it to return the bbPress role instead? (keymaster, moderator, etc.)

[Robkk]

long characters are going to show up like this anyway

splitboard.co
m

you could lower the font-size a little bit more with css to allow maybe 2-3 more characters
but its still going to break the word apart if there is a certain amount of characters anyway

you could add more width to div.reply-author
maybe to about 150px

add this anywhere where you can put custom css

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author {
width: 150px;
}

you also might have to add some @media query css too if i missed it.

[Robin W]

there is no [bbp-activate] shortcode

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

what are you trying to do?

[fractalmask]

Removed multisite and converted to single

bbpress tools shows

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

may be issues in roles ? because multisite sets admin user as super-admin ?

[evilhare]

I have the same problem… I have the forum page set to show the bbpress sidebar but it doesn’t show

[evilhare]

Okay, let’s see if I can explain this issue.

If I have a domain, riftchurch.org. I point it to an existing website, restorationgroup.org

I have bbpress installed on restorationgroup.org, and so anyone going to riftchurch.org can see the forum. However, when they click login or register, it does nothing. It only works if they go directly to restorationgorup.org

Is there some way to address this issue?

[Robkk]

you add this to your themes functions.php or a functionality plugin.

you then use css to style the roles from there.

add_filter('bbp_before_get_reply_author_role_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_reply_css_role' );
function ntwb_bbpress_reply_css_role() {

	$role = strtolower( bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ) );
	$args['class']  = 'bbp-author-role bbp-author-role-' . $role;
	$args['before'] = '';
	$args['after']  = '';

	return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_before_get_topic_author_role_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_topic_css_role' );
function ntwb_bbpress_topic_css_role() {

	$role = strtolower( bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) ) );
	$args['class']  = 'bbp-author-role bbp-author-role-' . $role;
	$args['before'] = '';
	$args['after']  = '';

	return $args;
}

It grabs the topic or reply author role and adds another CSS class with prefix bbp-role- so you now have a new set of CSS classes e.g. bbp-role-keymaster, bbp-role-moderator, bbp-role-participant etc that you can then add your custom CSS styles to.

link this was from

Hello,

I’m using WordPress 4.0 running the Valeni Theme.

In my bbpress forum on the topic pages, usernames longer than 12 characters are being truncated.

See example:

Is there any way to prevent this?

Thanks!

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

@robin-w send it. bbpress.org delete spam replies immediately?

[colinsp]

On my site I have several boards in each Forum. Is there a way of showing which of the boards have the latest post? Or alternatively is there an option to show unread posts?

Wordpress 4.0, bbPress 2.5.4. The forums are not available to view as they are member only.

What I want is some indication of which board the red circled item refers to in the attached image.

The reason for this is that sending out subscription emails one by one was appreciably slowing down some large sites, so in the last update they switched to bcc’ing in subscribers.

It’s fairly straightforward to change how the subscription emails are handled once you know how. If you unhook ‘bbp_notify_topic_subscribers’ you can then hook in your own subscription function.

Below is similar to what I did – I have it in a plugin but you could put it in your bbpress-functions.php file too, I think – this should be in a child theme. If you do this, please test it first as this is simply an example and not necessarily working code. I’ve gone ahead and simply pasted in the function that was used in the previous version of bbPress so you don’t have to find it.

//custom topic subscription emails, unhook old function, hook in new one
remove_action( 'bbp_new_reply',    'bbp_notify_topic_subscribers', 11, 5 );
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply',    'mjj_bbp_notify_topic_subscribers', 11, 5 );

Hi everyone, I need help, so I am appealing to the community.
I spent many hours trying to fix this display, but I can not.
Version of WordPress: 4.0
Version of bbpress: 2.5.4
Template: WP-Critique

I can not be specific to the forum sidebar to the racine, but I have elsewhere (subjects, answers …).
Here is my forum http://www.googland.fr/forums/
I carefully followed the help provided on https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ (part 8), I have certainly misunderstood.

I created my bbpress.php based on page.php, here is the code.

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<?php global $wp_query; $postid = $wp_query->post->ID; ?>

	<div id="page" class="clearfix">

		<div id="contentleft">

			<?php if ( get_post_meta( $postid, 'post_featcontent', true ) == "Narrow Width Featured Content Slider" ) { ?>
				<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/featured-narrow.php'); ?>
			<?php } ?>

			<?php if ( get_post_meta( $postid, 'post_featgalleries', true ) == "Yes" ) { ?>
				<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/featured-galleries.php'); ?>
			<?php } ?>

			<div id="content" class="maincontent">

				<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) { yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>'); } ?>

				<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/banner468.php'); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

				<div class="post clearfix" id="post-main-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

					<div class="entry">

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

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

						<?php the_content(); ?>

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

						<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>

					</div>

				</div>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
				
			</div>

			<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar-narrow.php'); ?>

		</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Can anyone tell me how to edit the file and what I have to put into it.
I would be very grateful for help.
Thank you

@drhands

if there really is an issue

ask that plugins author for compatibility with bbPress in a future update

[Robkk]

try this

this removes some black padding when you reach a device width of 480px
15px or a little bit less should be good.
if you want more just change 15px to whatever you want.

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.site {
    box-shadow: 0px 2px 6px rgba(100, 100, 100, 0.3);
    margin: 48px auto;
    max-width: 960px;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0px 15px;
}
}

this makes your bbpress forums full width

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.site-content {
    background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;
    float: left;
    min-height: 150px;
    width: 100%;
}
}

if you made a bbpress.php file put .bbpress in the begginning so it would be

.bbpress .site-content
