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.

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

[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 p.bbp-topic-meta,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li,
div.bbp-template-notice p,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper textarea.bbp-the-content {
font-size: 15px !important;
}
#subscription-toggle { 
background: #E7FFE8;
margin-left: 5px;
padding: 0px 3px 0px 1px;
border-radius: 2px;
font-size: 15px;
}
/* /Я */

[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.

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.

[Robin W]

Try

Codex

[filiip]

Probably plugin is too old for the WordPress version I am using.

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

Now, I am trying to modify bbpress theme. I am using Arras theme for the page and I would like to make some changes with default bbpress theme. I am new in this waters. But I am learning now. 🙂

[Robin W]

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.

Come back with the results

[Robin W]

STOP !!!

Ok, the codex has a couple of errors as it had not been updated following the release of 2.5.4 and also had some text that had been badly edited.

You have two choices – you cannot do both

either

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 3

which I have just updated with new code, or put this in your functions file

function remove_counts() {
$args['show_topic_count'] = false;
$args['show_reply_count'] = false;
$args['count_sep'] = '';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'remove_counts' );

Both work

[temi_t]

I am trying to set up a discussion forum on a website I manage using the step by step guide provided by bbpress.

I got through the steps of creating a forum and topic. However when I click on the forum a message displays that 1 topic is present in the forum. Then another message says “Oh bother! Nothing was found here!”

I have uninstalled the bbpress and re-installed it but I’m still running into the same problem.

Here’s a link to the forum page. It can also be accessed from the website’s main menu as follows: SURVEY >> PTRC Forums

My WordPress version is: 4.0
bbPress version: 2.54

Thanks in advance

[Barryman91]

Deactivating bbPress does fix the problem, though it could be a conflict between other plugins. I will try to debug them one at a time on a test server, thank you very much for the help so far!

[kendorama]

I read this: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/

and placed the same code into the loop-single-forum.php but it has an error.

[Robin W]

bbPress forums can be private, public or hidden.

private are only viewable if logged in, hidden are only viewable by mods and above.

However my private groups plugin will give you all the control you need

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

re importing

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/mingle/

[Robin W]

Groups and activity are buddypress not bbpress, suggest you post this is the buddypress support forum
