Perhaps it is related to the toolbar in bbPress?

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

/* header and footer that says AUTHOR , POSTS , VOICES, TOPICS , FORUMS */

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header, 
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
background: inherit!important;
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 8px;
text-align: center;
}

/* this is the background of the forums and topics that display the title, the freshness stats and so on. */

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, 
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 8px;
background: inherit;
}

/* this is the header that shows the post date and post ID */

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-header, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header {
background-color: inherit;
}

/* 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;
}

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

Hi there,

I am currently doing some theme modifications and was hoping to get BBPress working with a Travelify theme which I’ve modified. It doesn’t seem to be working however, and shows up as follows:

http://mellxx.byethost5.com/blog/forum/

If anyone could help/ has any ideas and/ or could suggest any similar themes that BBPress is compatible with, that would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Joseph 🙂

I managed to implement a custom function to search by $forum_id and it’s all working and great, and it was done using the instructions from this page.

What I need is a way to search by user. Here’s what the search by forum function looks like:

function my_bbp_filter_search_results( $r ){
	//Get the submitted forum ID (from the hidden field added in step 2)
	$forum_id = sanitize_title_for_query( $_GET['bbp_search_forum_id'] );
	//If the forum ID exits, filter the query
	if( $forum_id && is_numeric( $forum_id ) ){
		$r['meta_query'] = array(
			array(
				'key' => '_bbp_forum_id',
				'value' => $forum_id,
				'compare' => '=',
			)
		);
	}
	return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_search_results_parse_args' , 'my_bbp_filter_search_results' );

I tried changing all instances of the word “forum” to the word “user”, but no dice. I tried doing searches like this:
http://mysite.com/search/?bbp_search=testword&bbp_search_user_id=123

But nothing I does works and I’ve spent many hours tearing my hair out trying to get it working. I would hugely appreciate any assistance making it happen.
Thanks

Hi,

I am having problem on my site where I have a bbpress login/logout widget and without typing any user/password in field of widget if I press the Login Button then it redirect me to wp-login.php login page. I need a solution on how do I redirect them to home page or to the page I want?.

WordPress: 4.0
BBpress: 2.5.4
BuddyPress: 2.1.1

Thanks.

Why would some one pay for support on a non working plugin lol

its works for other users

I dont have caching but with all plugins deactivated other then the ones needed for forums its not working

again im just trying to bring up possible conflicts that might be causing the issue.

or just give up on having bbCode.

well i guess you just tell your users that your site has oembed and it can be used in the forums as long as you have Auto-embed Links checked in the forum settings.

and that any youtube/vimeo video link will automatically embed
imgur/flickr will automatically embed and so on.

images from other sources can use the img button in the quicktags toolbar

and options like bold/italicize/link/block-quote can be used from the quicktags toolbar.

we have been using block-quote button back and forth so to replace quotes you can do that too.

list of available oembed providers

https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

more on forum settings

[Robin W]

1) just use the

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

shortcode on the page to do that

2) That can all be done using coding, but would require a lot of code and expertise both within bbpress/wordpress and to link it to a payment product to take the money, and you’ll lose a lot of revenue in commission on 75p payments on say payal, who take a 20p a transaction charge as well as 3.4% commission.

Ballpark say £100-£200 for a coder to write that all for you (without looking that’s the sort of figure I’d expect to charge to write that, but it could be a lot more)

You would do better to look at a ‘membership’ site plugin, and take a payment per say ten ‘ads’, and use something like ‘bbp notify’ to know when they’ve posted, and a simple excel spreadsheet which you manually update. Then suspend membership or block posting when they have used up their limit.

Topic pages are not appearing. They appear as links on the indexes, and I can create new ones, however if I click them, I am taken to a page of a messed up template

so I suspect that the links are working fine, it’s just the template is conflicting, suspect theme issue

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.

[Robin W]

you can just untick the toolbar option for each user in dashboard>users and edit a user

If you want to disable for all but admins, put this in our functions file

<?php

//disable toolbar for non-admins

if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
show_admin_bar(false);
}

Functions files and child themes – explained !

@bsilverop thanks , ya need anymore help or find something awkward in your bbpress section of your site please feel free to make a new topic

[drakesong]

Hello, I am fairly new to WordPress.

I recently added bbPress to my site and tested out the forums.

I created a “testuser” so that I could post on the forums; however, after signing into “testuser”, I found out that the role “participant” can access the Dashboard of WordPress and through the Dashboard, the Theme Options and change it.

Not sure if this is supposed to happen or not but I would like to know if there is a way to restrict the “participant” from accessing Dashboard and other WordPress options.

Thanks

WordPress Version: 4.0
bbPress Version: 2.5.4
Theme: Lightly modified Skeleton (http://themes.simplethemes.com/skeleton/)

I’m using this code: http://pastebin.com/7NQnubJP to add custom fields in a specific forum. Everything is working great except for when I try to edit an existing topic. When I try to edit an existing topic, the custom fields aren’t displayed on the page, and therefor aren’t editable. Only the normal Title and Content fields are displayed.

The issue still happens while using an unmodified Twenty Fourteen theme (besides adding the relevant code to the functions.php file, of course).

I haven’t had any luck finding out what the problem is, but I’m hoping it’s something simple.

I appreciate any help!

[Robkk]

im not sure about the e

have you been editing templates??

did your theme come with bbpress templates already in it??

but i did find this other little bug that shows the little checkbox thats right by Notify me of follow-up replies via email thats all awkward and what not.

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input {
margin: 0 0 8px;
width: auto;
}

Hi Rob,

i have bbpress.css in my theme css folder

when i was setting it up i read instructions and i think i did it right 😛

so it is in:
/themes/tank/css/bbpress.css

I have used code you just posted and i see difference but still not the way it is supposed to be )

[Robkk]

@akyboy

hopefully you are putting it into your child themes stylesheet
or in a plugin like jetpacks custom css

it doesnt have to be in the bbpress.css file, because the code is in your themes stylesheet.

since it didnt work try this.

blockquote {
font-style: italic !important;
width: 200px;
float: none !important;
clear: none !important;
padding-bottom: 15px;
}

[akyboy]

Thanks Rob,

tried to put in in both themes style.css and ../themes/tank/css/bbpress.css

doesn’t work

[Nellples]

Bingo! Works much better, thanks so much Robkk you’re a superstar!

I don’t suppose you happen to know where the random ‘e’ character has appeared from above the Quicktags do you? I think its been there since I first installed bbPress.

[shriji252]

thanks bud

I had @import in my child theme

did as mentioned in

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

put below code in style.css in child theme
———————————————–
#bbpress-forums {
font-size: inherit !important;
width: 100% !important;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0 !important;
margin-left: 182px !important;
}

.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0 !important;
margin-left: 0 !important;
}
———————————–
