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.

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) 😉

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

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

I’ve only just noticed the same issue as everyone else, I DO have S2member installed, but that wasn’t the issue.

Turns out it was down to the Custom Search plugin by “bestwebsoft” https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-search-plugin/

I’ve raised the issue on the WP support forum https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-40-breaking-bbpress-not-showing-1st-forum-post?replies=1#post-6172365

Hello guys,

As you know forums can be dangerous in SEO unless all of your topics contain lots of content and information.

I would not like to get a Penguin penalty in future, just because I have a forum.

It is impossible all forum topics to be “thick”. There are ones who are “thin” and which we might not want to index.

So, can authors of the plugin contact YOAST perhaps, and ask, if it would be possible to have an option to index only either “popular topics” or topics with lots of content.

What do you guys think about this?

[Pavle123]

I have been using this piece of code to call the default bbPress breadcrumbs.

/**
 * Filter to call default bbPress breadcrumbs
 */
add_filter( 'bbp_get_breadcrumb', 'myfix_bbp_get_breadcrumb', 1, 3 );
function myfix_bbp_get_breadcrumb($trail, $crumbs, $r){
        // This will remove wordpress-seo filter to disable bbPress breadcrums by default
        remove_all_filters("bbp_get_breadcrumb",10);
        return $trail;
}

WP version: 4.0
BBpress version Brand new install. 2.0 I think?
Link to site: http://www.sofakingnews.com/forums/

I would to be able to increase the font size of Forums and Topics without increasing the size of Freshness (and possibly Posts and Voices)

The custom css I’m using to increase Forums and Topics is:

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums {
color: #FFFF;
font-size: 16px;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
font-size: 16px;
}

This is in a child theme under style.css

Also, it seems these people were able to achieve this:

Dall’Uva Forums

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

bbpress 2.x uses your themes template for most of it’s css

[designscape]

I have one other issue if you can help OR should I start a new thread?!?

What is the best way using BBpress to notify anyone when a new forum, topic or reply is created?

[Robin W]

And lastly, how can I add sub Forums.
So the main Forum is Android, and when you click on Android, there are more forums like Apps, Games, Phones etc.

see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/separate-forums/

[Robin W]

you can just show the latest topics as a list by using

http://www.mysite.com/topics

say as a menu item or make this your home page.

alternately you can post the latest xx topics using

bbp additional shortcodes
