I found the way to fix the gray out issue for most people. However this didnt worked for me.

In this folder: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css
Open up bbpress.css and find #bbpress-forums .status-closed,

I changed color: #ccc; to #000;

This should have fixed the gray out issue. However it did not worked =/

This is a paste of the bbpress.css file: I changed line 59

Hi all –

Using Twenty Twelve theme with bbpress version 2.5.4
I have a topic that has over 1,000 replies and spans 36 pages when set to 30 per page.

Now whenever a reply gets posted the user is directed back to page one of the topic, instead of going to the bottom of the most recent page.

This started happening yesterday after the topic went over 1,000 replies.

Any suggestions why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I installed and activated Bbpress, but it doesn’t work.
I should see the menu item “Forum” and “Topics” in the dashboard, but don’t see anything and it didn’t create any new page. It didn’t do anything.

Thank you,
Luca

this is probably a theme page issue

see

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

depending on your theme, you may need to do some renaming and editing of files – reda the article and then come back if you need further help

[Robin W]

From front end it looks like this:

http://temp.stillrunnin.com/runnin-board/reply/edit/

That is what it should look like

can you just check if this is an issue with the replies that were imported, or just new replies created or both, and how these relate to topics that were imported?

In other words do all the following have the same issue?

topic imported, reply imported
topic imported, reply created in bbpress
bbpress topic, reply created in bbpress

[Robin W]

Put the following in your functions file

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

you can put in multiple lines eg

if ( $translated_text == 'old text1' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text1';
	}
if ( $translated_text == 'old text2' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text2';
	}

Hi, i’m getting in a twist trying to sort out my forum index page. It seems like i have 2 versions of it.

When i setup my forum i created a new page called ‘chat’ and added the [bbp-forum-index]shortcode to it. Everything at first looks to be working great but when i click the index page in my breadcrumbs it takes me to a different index page called ‘forum’ which doesnt have the custom side bar that i set up (which is visible on my ‘chat’ index page and topic pages. One interesting thing is that this ‘forum’ index page picks up my theme styles nicely but my ‘chat’ one loses my theme font.

I have tried changing my forum slug to ‘chat’ to match my new page and this does resolve the breadcrumb/2 index page issue. BUT i then lose my custom side bar and still dont have the font styling.

I’m confused on what is going on here so i’m not clear where i need to head to get this sorted out. Should i be making my slug and forum page be named the same or is it that i need to work out why i have two index page? Any advice would be massively appreciated.

As a note, i used wp tweaks for my custom side bar although i already had SimplePage side bars installed which i use elsewhere on my site. Also, my site uses a custom permalink structure that includes category/post name rather than just the standard postname structure

I am using wp 4.0, bbpress v2.5.4 and here is a link to my site

Chat

Many thanks

Robin W., after reading that, I think I should explain my problem better. I do not want to change my entire WordPress site’s language. I really just want the ability to customize the text on bbpress, such as “Create New Topic”. I want the text to be both in Chinese and in English. Is there a way to manually do that? Thank you.

Hi

If you mean “3. Creating a forum page”, method 2, I tried that & was able to create this forum using the shortcode => [bbp-forum-index].

On the Forum settings page & “/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=forum” page, it seems this only deals with the forum supposed according to the bbpress default settings to appear at /forums, but consistently wont.

Does it mean all the forums & subforums have to be created using shortcodes (if so, any link where to find them?).

This problem is not being experienced on another site sharing the same web hosting account, and has a separate domain. In the root of this particular, problematic site is some web directory. I wonder whether its moved the site to?

I had a similar issue of consistent failure of accessing /recipes, generated by the recipepress reloaded plugin showing the recipe archive page, even with recommended default settings & permalinks, but just like the bbpress forum at /forums, it had the right url, but content of the site/blog front page. The plugin author, though said it was a bug in the plugin & changes in the code corrected the problem described here. Correct link now here.

Could there be anything in this root folder .htaccess of the web directory (unrelated to WordPress), which may be causing this & affecting the functioning of bbpress (& not other plugins like Buddypress & co) or WordPress proper & in directory.com/wordpress & even in wordpress.directory.com? I ma not conversant with .htaccess & co. 😉

So just wondering what to do next.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

Kind regards

Hello,
I’m trying to convert a phpBB 3.0.x to bbPress using the default import tool by bbPress, but it looks that user avatars are not imported.
Anyone know how to import theme? (my phpBB has over 5000 users so I cannot import them 1 by 1 :P)

[Michael]

Thank you all for the kind words, bbpress has worked out well for me and my Italian Wine Lifestyle site. Keep up the great work, bbpress folks!

Cheers.

Oh great, Robin. It works for me. Thank you very much!

<?php
$idbbp = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'idbbp', true);
$forum_id = bbpress()->current_forum_id = $idbbp;
$x='[bbp-single-topic id ="'.$forum_id.'"]';
echo do_shortcode($x);
?>


[Robin W]

you won’t be changing subscriber – that is a wordpress role – bbpress has it’s own roles, and probably that is participant.

I’m sure you can , but haven’t tried so don’t have code offhand.

Suggest you just create a new custom role, and then set your bbpress user to it.

[Robin W]

ok, well without spending hours recreating your issue, I’d suggest you try

<?php
 $idbbp = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'idbbp', true);
 $forum_id = bbpress()->current_forum_id = $idbbp;
$x='[bbp-single-forum id forum id ="'.$forum_id.'"]‘ ;
 echo do_shortcode( $x);

[Robin W]

I think you found a topic on an issue – since it didn’t fix it, suggest it is not relevant.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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.

[galiulinr]

I installed the plugin Easy digital downloads that creates custom record types post_type = download. I edited single.php file removed <? Php comments_template ();?> And I want to insert the code to show the theme of the forum bbpress renamed to the new file single-download.php
In the custom field on the product page I insert ID Forum.

[NLBlackEagle]

I found a topic on this issue, however I Didnt managed to fix it ( Im using Magicraft theme by the way )

I found the bbpress.css and added:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .status-closed a {
color: #ccc;
}

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics ul.super-sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics ul.sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-forum-content ul.sticky {
background-color: #ffffe0 !important;
}

Anyway, even if the gray out issue was fixed, I still can’t see any content of the closed topic.

[Robin W]

see

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

and you’ll see a capability for a user to close their own topics.

you need to either amend the participant role, or create a new role with this capability

see https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/

Hello everyone,

After searching about a hour I gave up and decided to create a topic.
I hope that there’s a plugin somewhere in the corners of bbpress which suits the idea i have.

I managed to block the creation of topics using the ‘bbPress Protected Forums’ plugin, however I can not find any plugins to block replies/comments on these topics.

I would like to add this since I will be adding a ‘Read this first before you post!’ with the rules in it at every single subforum and I dont want any replies on those.

Could anyone help me out with this?

OS: CentOS 7
Wordpress version: 4.0
bbpress version: 2.5.4
bbPress Protected Forums version: 1.0

Can it be installed on a club website for “members only” to view the whole bbPress section?
• Can you set up different forums to be only accessed/viewable to certain members?

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

• Can it host pictures?

Usually people use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

[Robin W]

i have created custom role’s (parent and teacher)

How have you done this – using a plugin or by coding?

set dynamic role for bbpress forum itself

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
