@akyboy

list some links you are trying to change in bbpress.

[Robkk]

you probably need to make a bbpress.php file.

I have installed bbPress fine and have setup a forum without any issues. However when I create a new topic within the forum the initial topic text I entered does not show. I have also noticed that all of my forum topics are displayed as blog posts and replies are posted as topics rather than replies. I have tried re-installing bbPress and the same problem exists.

Here is a link to the forum I have created.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

@mnhfile

your welcome 🙂

and well editing .php files and using FTP is kind of advanced if you dont know what you are doing and are messing with the wrong directories or templates.

but as long as you know what you are doing and just copying a template over to your child theme in a bbpress folder it is really easy.

you can copy all of this and overwrite it with an editor like notepad++

or you can just go here download the .zip , unzip and get the .php file and just plop that in and overwrite the other one i gave you before.

@johnohfs oh , well the grey bars are actually the li.bbp-header and li.bbp-footer that hold the labels

here are what css codes are causing the problem.

changing display:inline; to display:block; should fix the problem for you.

#main li {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 14px;
display: inline;
margin-right: 5%;
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 769px)
#main li {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 18px;
display: inline;
margin-right: 12%;
}

i think putting .bbpress if you already created a bbpress.php file or #bbpress-forums before #main li { should fix the problem, so that only on bbpress pages would have a different css for the #main li

Css or php changes by sftp not updated to my wordpress site. I figured out this is not parent/ child theme problem .. I am using godaddy wordpress managed hosting and this issue occurs because of their cache layer and i don’t know how to clear it. I try to contact them but unable to reach them beacuase of voice issue in international call.

Anyhow my tab/heading problem is solved because of loop code in this link https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robkk/better-bbpress-responsive-theme/master/bbpress/loop-forums.php

i want some modification in tabs/heading — like in the picture arrow appears which show or hide forums../// or modification like tabs act like toggles (function).

@pavle123 ask the guy on Qucksprout , he runs bbPress ask him if its bad for SEO

i dont think there would be a problem though.

[Robkk]

i don’t see anything wrong really

the layout already looks pretty clean .

if you want suggestions on how to style your bbPress forum , i suggest you ask your sites users on additional improvements then go from there.

[Robkk]

thats some custom development right there.

you can of course display the Original Poster and Recent Poster’s image using code that is already in bbPress.

getting an avatar image of the frequent posters is custom development.

[Robkk]

for just the forum and topic title links

#bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title, 
#bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
font-size: 16px;
}

Hi,

I’m using WP 4.0 and bbPress 2.5.4-5380. I just downloaded the latest Brazilian Portuguese translation files (.po and .mo). I renamed them as the way they should be (bbpress-pt_BR.po and bbpress-pt_BR.mo), and uploaded them to wp-content/languages/bbpress but these words: “Activity”, “Notifications”, “Profile”, “Mentions”, “Personal”, “Favorites”, “Friends”, “Groups” are still in English.

I tried to edit the .po file, it’s 99% translated and there are not these words to translate (I didn’t find them).

I’ve already google this problem, and nothing worked for me.

Why should I do?

[JohnOHFS]

Looking for suggestions on how to clean up the look of the bbPress CSS. Here’s a link to my forum page: http://www.ourhomefromscratch.com/forums/

I’m capable of fixing it if I know what to fix. Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

Yes, that was the problem. I added bb_ to table prefix and re-ran. Now it imported all users, forums, topics and posts from old version 1.2 bbPress. Woo-hoo! Thanks.

[FrancescoR]

bbpress didn’t imported any accounts (just the admin one) 😉

[brunof13712]

Hi,

How do I create links for user profile?

I’d like to have these buttons on my menu: ”profile”, ”edit profile”, ”topics” etc.

But the links I see on bbpress are especific for each user, like: http://DOMAIN/forum/users/USERNAME/

Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

If the users were imported AND you can see them in the WordPress backend then you can assign the topics and replies manually be editing each topic and reply manually or doing this directly in the database.

This is extremely time consuming and I do not recommend it.

My only recommendation is to reset bbPress and import again.

I am having problems working thru this upgrade process. I just successfully upgraded all users, posts and forums from bbPress version 0.9.0.7 to version 1.2. Conversion worked great.

Now I am working on upgrading from bbPress version 1.2 to the latest. I installed WordPress version 2.5.4-5380. Then installed the bbPress plugin version 2.54.

In Tools, Forums, Import forums, the correct information is entered. I also put a check mark in the box “Convert users (Attempt to import user accounts from previous forums)”. However, after clicking “Start” it trundles along and says “no users to convert”, “no passwords to clear”, “no forums to convert”, etc . . .

Checking in Forums and Users, I do not see any of the previous users and forums added. I wonder if we need to add table prefix info (i.e. “bb_”) into the importer settings?

hello, good day!…I want to put a button "thanks" for each post in the user profile and the Times Appears "Thanked"

but I find this plugin or shortcode, or a way to do

example:

I found this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-like-button/

but does not show the data in the public profile …

although the plugin either to pay, no matter
It is now important for a forum

help!
kind regards

[Stephen Edgar]

Same thing, that was what I meant 😉

Also after resetting the forums check that any previous or duplicated users do not exist, this is an issue that sometimes results in having to manually delete previously imported users, it is fixed in the next release of bbPress.

Extra Notes: Make sure you are importing from phpBB v3, if you have been previously using a bridge plugin between phpBB and WordPress you will also have issues.

Try

Forum/Topic headings

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles
 
 {
font-size:  16px;
 }

Topic/reply text

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p
 
 {
font-size:  16px;
 }

[Robin W]

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

Hi. I’m just getting started with BBPress and would am looking for a function which will allow me to customise an existing user role: I’d like to simply REMOVE the capability for a PARTICIPANT to PUBLISH a TOPIC.

Any pointers will be very gratefully received.

NB: I’ve already tried a plugin called BBP Capabilities but that only let’s me customise a specific user’s role where I’m looking to change the role capabilities glbally.

Thanks

[Sam Rohn]

sorry, i think i may have misunderstood the OP

if your root wp root is site.tld/blog, i do not think you could have a bbpress 2.x forum at site.tld/forum, unless maybe some .htaccess trick might allow it

[Sam Rohn]

bbpress 1.0.2 is obsolete for a few years now and is no longer supported, current bbpress is version 2.5.4

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/

using wordpress and bbpress 2.x, you could set up wp at domain.tld/blog and put bbpress (2.x) on a wp page like domain.tld/blog/forum

see the bbpress codex for more info on setting up bbpress 2

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