i am using wordpress 3.9.2 and bbPress 2.5.4-5380.
i want all my user (participant or moderators) can create new forum in front-end, so they not enter the wordpress admin, is it possible? if yes can anyone tell me how to do that.
thanks
The template you choose in the page only applies to that page, you need to set up the file as bbpress.php to get it used throughout (I don’t write bbpress so can’t tell you why!)
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
Hi,
I’ve recently just switched my site over to bbpress from phpbb3. Currently love how i can style it alot better than phpbb3.
The only option I would really like at this moment is to have each roles name’s be in different color.
I know of the bbp-author-name in css but that changes all the author’s name colors. I would basically like a Keymaster to have lets say Green, Moderator to have Yellow, and Participant to have White.
Something similar to that. Is this possible at this stage?
I think that might get me to where I want to be. Assuming if I remove the “spectate” ability they can’t view any topics, but still post a topic.
When I implement the second set of code (for Creating New Roles) from this page: https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/. I get the following error in the admin area:
Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘add_new roles’ not found or invalid function name in /wp-includes/plugin.php on line 214
I thought it might be a conflict with the plugins I had installed, but disabling them didn’t solve anything. I assume the code is supposed to go into my functions.php file? That’s where I tried it anyway.
Thanks for the help.
bbPress forums play an important part in an outdoor recreation club site I administer. Members make heavy use of notification emails to be informed of changes in scheduled events.
Html entities in notification emails annoy the members. The members are non-technical. They don’t understand why characters such as & ‘ and – are replaced with strange codes in email.
The fix is trivial, apply html_entity_decode() to the subject and message body before sending. I don’t see any security risk in this. (Someone please let me know if there is a risk; I’m using this fix on the site.)
Can this be added to bbPress?
Perhaps it is related to the toolbar in bbPress?
what do you mean??
the toolbar just puts out basic html, i dont have an idea why it would be causing the problem.
if you think adding a bbcode plugin will make that bbpress quicktags toolbar use the bbcode instead that wont happen you need some custom functions.
and just in case you didnt know to use the bbcode you have to manually write something like this
[youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwW_WrAk4Kk [/youtube]
I’m trying to format the background and the border for the lead topic, just as you’ve done here in the bbPress forum. I used Firebug to see your code, which is
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body {
border: 1px solid #dd6;
}
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body div.topic {
background-color: #0099FF;
}
But when I add this to my child theme’s CSS (where I’ve successfully made other bbPress changes), nothing changes.
I don’t know if something else I’ve changed is preventing this from changing or maybe if you have something in the setup that I don’t have, something that allows you to style this in CSS when I can’t.
Any suggestions? The forum is private, but I can get you in temporarily, if that would help. Or I could paste into a comment all the changes to bbPress I made in my CSS.
(Note: I changed your color for testing purposes)
Thanks for any help you can give me.

@pilxy i can see on my mobile device but not really on desktop
and you should just revert any changes you made that involves this issue ,and just wait until your theme author updates the theme.
like i said the main problem is that the div class that they used for the reply link in the comments section is just .reply and to make sure it doesnt have conflicts with bbPress it should be just like .comment-reply or any other class besides .reply .
And when they use .reply a they could have just used .comment-reply-link since thats the a class
there is some css that needs to be fixed that uses .reply , in the style.css and some in the rtl.css
and there is also probably some css in the mobile stylesheet
there is a function that uses .reply a and .reply a:hover in the custom-styles.php file.
all these things and probably more if i missed something need to be changed
Hello, @Robin-W
Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried to deactivate all plugins i have except for bbpress(actually i also tried to reinstall all of them that can be connected to bbpress) and it gave no result.
I am in fear of changing my theme as it can just break all the site, so i can’t do it now(but my theme author actually was the on who suggested to use your plugin, so i believe it shouldn’t be the case)
So currently i have this:

What i have now:
5 groups in plugin, member testuserrq is subscriper to a site and a participant to a forum. He is inside group1 in plugin. I have some forums private and they are marked only for groups2-4. This user can’t see this forums when he is browsing forum, but if he will try direct-link he can see it and he can browse it further(for example by direct link to a forum and then to threads in this forum)
I tried different options in plugin, created new forums and changed groups, but still problem with direct link persists. If i will give user reader right in forum he cant see this themes anymore, only as participant. Changing his role to site does nothing(i can even turn it off).
I tried installing capability manager enhanced to look what capabilities this role have and i see it has read private forums – should it be this way? I guess it is how it goes by default.
Please, try to give me any direction where i can look at, because its crucial for my site(as i rely on forum much and forum access security is a subject of a main concern)
Sorry for so many text and this mess 🙁
thank you so much for your support with that link in the end i ported the code from an original wp theme(stock with the install) into a file called bbpress.php and inserted that file into the custom theme im using, i also removed the edit function from the original code as its not required on that page.
my next question if i can is that that page shows its name in the tab as kixeyeunion.uk/forums instead of saying Forums is there anyway to change that?
Hi _ck_
Do you have an updated version of your plugin that works with the latest version of bbpress?
Here’s the only one I can find for download:
https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/bbpress-theme-switcher/trunk/
Alternatively, how can I get this working without a plugin?
Thanks for all your work!
see
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
and
Custom Capabilities
you need to play with setting up some new roles probably one that has topic capabilities but not reply capabilities, and setting that to the default.
WordPress Version: 4.0
bbPress Version: 2.5.4
I have a forum where anyone (ideally, even users without an account) will be able to post a topic, but only users in certain groups will be allowed to view and post replies to the topics.
I’ve been working with these two plugins:
Members: https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/
bbPress Permissions: https://github.com/ZanderAdam/Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions
They’ve allowed me to setup everything except the feature I described above. Google searches haven’t yielded anything either, just how to setup general user roles.
Is it possible to do what I need to?
I appreciate any help!
ok on this you have to contact your theme author and tell them to change this in your theme in its next update.
in file style.css on line 1475 change .reply a {
to a.comment-reply-link {
in the file custom-styles.php in parabola/includes/custom-styles.php
on line 212 and 213 change
.reply a { to a.comment-reply-link {
and .reply a:hover { to a.comment-reply-link:hover {
they should also change the .reply div class to something else maybe like .comment-reply
because bbPress has a .reply for all of its replies
Perhaps it is related to the toolbar in bbPress?
Post Formatting Add toolbar & buttons to textareas to help with HTML formatting
Hi im having a bit of a problem, after i installed bbpress i wasnt getting a link on the from side for the forum so i made one through the menu system, this is great now have the link to the forums but for some reason its split in half please could some one advise what it is i should do?
kixeyeunion.uk/forums <<< you can see from there that its just not right.
thank you in advance for any support
The question has already been asked at least twice on their support forum, but unfortunately there was no help from the authors. That’s why I’m asking here.

I really like the theme, have tried several others, but I haven’t found the one that offers as much looks and functionality as this one does. On the other hand I also really need to include the forums, and I have to find out the solution how to use them together…
@pilxy
you need to change this css code to make sure its only shows in the comments/replies content.
im not so sure on how to do this one.
contact your theme author
i just checked and they use bbPress for their support forums.
im sure they would help more than i can right now.
I’ve also noticed my ‘Submit’ button is way further down the page and out of line with the ‘Tags’ input box, any ideas here too?
thats normal , you can see it is aligned on bbpress.org because thats something custom.
bbpress.org uses this css …i guess you can go off of it as an example.
but it causes an issue on smaller device sizes this will make it collide with the tags input.
you will need additional media query css to make it look better on smaller devices.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-form fieldset.bbp-form button {
float: right;
margin-top: -120px;
}
I can’t also seem to make the quicktags bar the correct width, always seems to over-run the width despite me trying lots of different styles etc.
you can fiddle with the padding but the below css will not make it over-run.
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper div.quicktags-toolbar {
padding: 5px 0;
min-height: 30px;
width: 100%;
float: left;
}
I’ve still not found how to deal with the strange ‘e’ character,
i asked if you edited any templates , i didnt really get an answer but if you did,
it could be an edited reply-form.php and a topic-form.php .
so if you already copied these files to your child theme, check them out and see if you left a stray character somewhere.
other than that i guess make a bbpress.php if you havent sometimes if users dont it adds some additional stuff that are only suppose to be on blog posts.

Hi,
I’m using latest WP version (4.0) and have bbPress 2.5.4-5380 installed.
I have a problem with the profile (Avatar and Username) on the replied posts.
Profile in the First post is allways fine, but profiles in all other posts below are not aligned properly and have some kind of border/background with an hover effect.
Here is the link to my test page forum: http://www.geosledec.si/wp/forums/topic/new-topic/
The problem must be theme related as it only exist if I’m using that theme. TwentyEleven works fine.
I tried asking for help in the theme support forum, but it seems no one can help me there, so I hope someone here has a better knowledge and could help me deal with that.
Thank you. 🙂
easy way i think would be to just install this and choose the dark color.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-ui/
you can also use this below css and copy it where ever you can put custom css
jetpack css module
custom css plugin
you can find the exact css in bbpress.css and just replace it with the one im posting.
you can of course change inherit to and other color like black or its hex #000 for example.
if im missing something please reply back

I’m using Eclipse as my theme on wordpress.
http://generalstcg.byethost15.com/?forum=general-discussion
This is my website.
I want to be able to change the color of the text because if you go on my website, it’ll be white on white.
Is there a way to make the background a darker/blacker color and keep the white letters?
I read about bbpress.css but I have no idea where to find it or to look for it.
Can someone please help?
Thank you!
@realerq
It could be a theme or plugin issue
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.
then come back
