Hi – the 1000 posts thing is a known issue which will be fixed in 2.6.

In the meantime do these two steps in order (but test them first! always test first):
1. change this code: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2615
2. run the “Recalculate the position of each reply” tool in Tools -> Forums

Again, test it all first before doing it to your live site.

Are you using bbPress 2.5.4? Prior to that, sending subscriptions was slowing things down, too.

[Splendorito]

Hi,

I have a problem, it seems whenever somebody post anything on the forum. I get a truncated message warning. Anybody that had a similar problem? by the way I use google apps for handling my mail.

All the best,

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/shortcode-on-the-page-php
I added [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] page post_type, how to make that outputs only 5 replies.
I added this code here:

function bbp_single_topic_query() {
		if(is_singular( 'download' )) {
		if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ) )
                bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'latest-topics' );   
      }
return;
	  }
add_action('bbp_template_before_topics_loop','bbp_single_topic_query');

it does not work for me. I maybe doing wrong?

closest you’ll get is my plugin

bbp additional shortcodes

If you can do some coding, you should be able to refine this further to your needs

I’ve tried it on a fresh install. I’ve tried it on my site while changing to a default theme and I have same issue.

Weird thing now too is I have a sandbox and a main site and when I do sub forums one has them side by side, the other on top of each other. Same versions of theme and bbpress… why would it do that?

[Robkk]

this is the css to customize the color , i already put purple in, you can change that to a specific color.

if you are using the bbpress-new ui plugin , i dont know if that will cause a conflict or not.

copy this css anywhere where you can put custom css

jetpack custom css module
custom css plugin
bbpress.css file

HEADER

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: purple;
}

i also put the footer css just in case you want to edit that too.

FOOTER

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

do mess with the templates in the plugin folder they will just be gone when you update the bbpress plugin.

just copy the templates to your child theme and edit those.

do not do inline styles, you can just add a class to the link and add the css to the bbpress.css file that you should copy to your child theme in a folder called css.

i would recommend not to put the code into your pagination template. it would be fine if you just put it into content-single-topic.php you can just put it i think under
<?php bbp_single_topic_description(); ?>

i gave you the wrong code earlier actually so my bad, the one i had takes you to the forum index.
this is the final code should be this exactly

<?php if ( bbp_is_single_topic() ) : ?>

<a class="bbp-back-to-forum" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>">Back to <?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>	
	<?php endif; ?>

what this does is only show the link on a single topic, so it wont show it on topics started page a subscribed/favorited topics page.

it takes you to the forum of any topic you have, so if you have multiple forums you wont have to write the exact link everytime.

it adds a class which is a.bbp-back-to-forum

and the link shows the actual name of the forum.

then you can style the link by using.

a.bbp-back-to-forum {
float:left;
}

drop the css into your bbpress.css in your child theme.

also please read the codex, it has alot of very useful information about bbPress.

I want to change the color background for the table where it says Forums, Topics , Replies and Freshness. i don’t know css or php I am using dreamweaver to try to figure out these short color codes. This is what I want to do: (photoshop was used to create the effect)

Like how the new ui plugin for bbpress does it but my color scheme. I just cant find the table

[pcgs51]

I am working with a site that has bbPress. Its an old site and I was only recently informed of issues. One I’m currently trying to fix is an issue where I’m seeing my Gravatar appear in Topics and Replies. But I have never participated in this forum.

However, I see my Gravatar and username in Topics and Replies which makes no sense. My client said he was seeing similar issues with his Gravatar. But for now I can only address mine.

• I tried updating all plugins
• Used the Tools>Forums> Repair Forums I selected each relationship to repair one at a time but no luck.
• Turned off all the plugins except for bbPress.
• Deactivated the theme and activated Twenty Thirteen. No change.
• Logged in as a different Admin and still see MY Gravatar and my username.

WordPress: v. 4.0
bbPress: v. 2.5.4

I’m stumped. Any ideas or similar experiences?
Thanks

Hey guys,

What´s the best way of having private message system in BBpress?
I used to have Buddy and BB combined, but BuddyPress was overkill for my site.

Thanks in advance.

[terri.swiatek@yahoo.com]

Thanks @Robkk it wasn’t loop-replies.php but I found it. pagination-replies.php was the one.

I added it in right after bbp-pagination-count

<div class="bbp-pagination-count">
		<a style="float:left;" href="http://intranet.skmgroup.com/forums/forum/skm-forum/">Back to Forums ></a>
		<?php bbp_search_pagination_count(); ?>

	</div>

I floated it left too so it was positioned where I circled in red.

Also this only seemed to work when I created a bbpress folder for the files in my child theme. Overwriting the template files in the plugins folder didn’t seem to do diddly.

[RaidenRattlehead]

And nevermind. I just re-enabled the bbPress plugin after disabling it to make sure that it’s bbPress causing the issue and now it works no problem at all.

Sorry =/

[RaidenRattlehead]

Hi all!

I have found that bbPress is causing the buddypress bar not to show for regular users. It only shows up for my admin account when viewing the front-end of the site. You can test this by signing up for an account at http://www.raidenrattlehead.co.za and checking if the bar shows up for you.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Kind Regards

making a post in my bbpress/wordpress forum site, i click the “link” in the wysiwig editor, add link and title then post, all the text, images put in with “img” button work except the front end post ignores the anchor tag. i can see the tag is there when i go back to edit the post.

here is the copied tag which bbpress generated:
++<+a href=”http://earthjustice.org/blog/2014-october/turning-the-tide-of-history-for-maui-s-four-great-waters&#8221; title=”Turning the Tide of History: Maui Waters Flow Again After 150 Years” target=”_blank”></+a>++ (i had to put plus sign + in the code because this post/bbpress.org forum is ignoring the tag too)

here is the post http://theboatpeople.org/forums/topic/maui-waters-flow-again-after-150-years/
you can see the above anchor tag in the page source using a web browser.

i can’t remember if i’ve ever used the button before in the last years. this id is the admin so it’s got to have authority to use this tag, it shows up in the wysiwig editor.

thanks for any help!

Hi I’m new on bbPress.
I have the following problem with the shortcode.
When I use the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] the forum shows up like this:
Forum
La Vie En France (1, 0), Bouwen en verbouwen (1, 0), Het franse dossier (1, 0), Het kopen en verkopen van een huis in Frankrijk (1, 0), Alles over deze website (1, 0), Recepten (1, 0), Chez Jo-Jo (2, 0)

When I use the shortlink it shows up as it should be.
How can? and what to do, because I prefer to use the shortcode.

Wordpress 4.0
bbPress 2.5.4
Theme Twentyeleven

[CodingMachine]

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies li div.bbp-reply-content div {
font-size: 16pt;
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
min-height: 0px;
}

[CodingMachine]

and to change the headers use this plugin ‘bbPress String Swap’

[CodingMachine]

@vadim use bbPress String Swap plugin to change the name of voice author… basically any

[CodingMachine]

Hi @andrecgro just do one thing create a folder named ‘css’ in themes/child-theme/ and copy bbpress.css from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css and paste the file in the css folder and then edit any element you want to… u can try those css too

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/

[Robin W]

ok, all I can suggest is a conflict with another plugin or your theme

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.

[Vadim]

I did so:
Font was larger, but the design has changed.

/* Я */
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: 15px;
}
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-info .bbp-forum-content,

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li,

[andrecgro]

First of all, congratulations of your plugins, you guys did a real good job, again.
I’m trying to customize the theme of my bbPress forum and I can’t figure out how to edit some things.
For example, how can I edit,individually, the itens “Author” and “Post” on the section 5 of http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/

Thank you guys for helping me.

[Vadim]

bbPress 2.5.4, WordPress 4.0, Theme: Accelerate.

Font size does not depend on the theme.
Extra small font is not convenient read.
Please do, the size of 16px.

I can do it myself, I know the file bbpress.css.
But also for the new font size need to customize the size of all the blocks of the forum.
The names of the words in different languages ​​have different widths blocks.

[eugenetim]

Hello.
I want to chande default size of text area for new topic creation and reply. Didn’t find any working solutions for that simple task. Can you help me?
Note: I am using bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin. So I need solution that will work with visual editor too.

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

@pooledge just update my super-duper plugin 🙂 now it works fine with all permalink setups. Checkout and update — https://github.com/korobochkin/bbPress-permalinks-with-id

Known issue
If permalink looks like site.com?p=123 (not pretty permalink), the topic and reply edit links looks like:

site.com/?post_type=topic&p=814&topic=TOPIC_SLUG&edit=1
// TOPIC_SLUG — I dont known right now how to delete it but works fine with this parameter.
