bbPress add Right Now in Forums metabox to all users. This widget (metabox) have links to /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic or /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply. But this links available only for admins and users with Subscriber, Contributor… getting wp_die page with “Cheatin’ uh?” text after they click on some link.

I think that not good. Remove the links or make it openable 🙂

if you still dont see any changes in css after you have followed all the information correctly.

the last thing i could think could cause the problem is either clearing cache
and also bbpress- new ui plugin , if you have this installed it might cause some issues in styling

you can use this plugin

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

but this also needs to be used with

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/

and you can also this plugin which has bbcode and alot of other functions added to it.

I have buddypress and bbpress installed on my website. The members really like the new buddypress feature where a dropdown list of @names appears when they start to type an @mention to other members. Is there a way I can get this working in the bbpress forum area of my site too?
Thanks 🙂

[hypnoscribe]

I am using Thesis 2.1 theme and adding .css changes in the custom css section where all my other site customizations are.

This is the info in the css crib :

#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #a0668d;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}

But what i want to do is change all the submit buttons individually beacause .bbp_user_edit_submit button is not showing proprely.

But i have yet to find the right path to change the submit buttons.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, in the user edit section. When on profile, the avatar is grayed out. How can i fix this?

And… how do i fix avatar size in topic section.

Sorry for typo mistakes, im french canadian speaking.

Hi hope u r all well… I downloaded github version and followed steps as described

– Converted 2000 MDB with Bullzip Converter
– Imported sql dumpp into new table
– Cleaned out Forum Topics and Replies and then imported data into those two tables with datefixed
– Ran Forum Import

Success on

– Created users
– I can see all the forum topics and replies in the DB, post meta an posts, and buddypress activity tables are full of all my imported data with dates

BUT i i see no forums under forums in admin, no topics under topics and when i try to load replies the server just about dies….

I have tried Forum Toll repairs a few times – but does not seem to do anything – as in i cannot see any forums, categories or topics in frontend or admin – yet all the data is in wp_postmeta
and wp_posts

Any ideas?

WordPress 4.0 running Twenty Fourteen Child theme.
bbPress Version 2.5.4

The Forum

Somebody posted in “Cultivars”.
I created a new Forum called “Identification” and edited the Post so that it’s parent was in “Identification” rather then “Cultivars”
The result is that if you look at the forum “front page”, the Post still seems to be in “Cultivars” but is really in “Identification”

I disabled all the plugins and the child theme but that did not cure this problem

Any ideas?

[Robin W]

my plugin

bbp additional shortcodes

creates that list

either use the plugin, or crack the code open to see what parameters I set

Hi, I’m trying to export bbPress to move to a different forum software and I was wondering how to do so. I’m kind of a noob with this, but it seems to me there is no way to easily export bbPress since it doesn’t have its own table in phpmyadmin.

Hopefully I’m wrong and there’s an easy way to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

[jeffacubed]

I’m not entirely sure it’s a WP multisite core-architecture issue or a specific WP + BP in a multisite environment issue. When I have some ‘testing’ time set aside, I’m going to work through freshly re-creating this entire multisite user-registration conundrum w/ bbPress. The non-plugin sol’n involves having a distinct wp-signup.php files for each separate site across the multisites, though my first attempt at that did not work (likely something in the custom wp-signup.php I created, that I overlooked/mis-understood).

@lauramelos – As an intermediate sol’n (if your multisite bbPress user registration issue was the same as mine, in that all new registrations were re-directed back to the ‘root’ site), then Login with Ajax (LWA) did resolve that issue, at least for me (i.e new user registrations complete on the site the user is registering from, not re-directing back to the root (site ID=1)).

It’s on my ‘to do’ list to fully understand what’s really at play here…

I am an Admin on this site. I am seeing my username and Gravatar applied to Topics and Posts I did not create. I’ve never participated in this forum. The authors are relevant but the gravatar and username assigned to their posts is mine not theirs.

Here is a perfect example. If you visit this page it probably looks normal.
http://icmmaca2.wpengine.com/forums/forum/mmaca

Next I offer this page:
http://icmmaca2.wpengine.com/forums/topic/your-gym-or-business-featured-on-mmaca-site

Please compare what you see to this screenshot which is see what I see.
http://icmmaca2.wpengine.com/images/bbpress-example.png

My user name is indeed pcgs51 and that logo is my official Gravatar but the posts are from other members of the site. My Gravatar all over this forum but these items are not from me.

Steps taken:
All plugins except for bbpress are now turned off but issue continued
I tried using the theme Twenty Thirteen but issue continued
Contacted WPEngine and had a caching exception applied to the site to ensure their agressive caching was not the issue. No luck.
Try viewing this in Incognito. Issue continues.

I don’t know what else to share with you. Please let me know. Thanks.

[Robin W]

ok, then try

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

No.s 1 & 2

[Robin W]

ok, by default bbpress shows this format

La Vie En France (1, 0), Bouwen en verbouwen (1, 0),

So you must have changed some code to get the display as per the permalink

Can you explain what you have done so far, as it should show the same in both

[tharsheblows]

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?

[Robin W]

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

[kendorama]

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
