Thought I would join in as well as this works perfectly in my buddypress/bbpress setup. Would there be a way to style it now? I want to make the font smaller.

there are two reward type plugins that integrate with bbpress i know off the top of my head.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/mycred/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/achievements/

and maybe more.

But i mean if you really have something different and unique then make the plugin.

but hey if your just looking for plugins to develop for bbpress i wouldnt be mind if you fork this.

https://github.com/master5o1/bbPress-Post-Toolbar

this plugin just isnt structured well, it really slows down a site too, but has alot of good elements.

or combine some elements of this editor to give a responsive bbcode editor, i wouldnt mind at all.

Hi there, thank you for the swift response. I am currently using bbpress, as stated above. I read trough and implemented the information you linked me to, but still no luck. Here is the code in my theme’s page.php file. Maybe you can help me since I can not seem to figure out the code 🙂

<?php

get_header();

$is_page_builder_used = et_pb_is_pagebuilder_used( get_the_ID() );

?>

<div id="main-content">

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

	<div class="container">
		<div id="content-area" class="clearfix">
			<div id="left-area">

<?php endif; ?>

			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

				<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

					<h1 class="main_title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
				<?php
					$thumb = '';

					$width = (int) apply_filters( 'et_pb_index_blog_image_width', 1080 );

					$height = (int) apply_filters( 'et_pb_index_blog_image_height', 675 );
					$classtext = 'et_featured_image';
					$titletext = get_the_title();
					$thumbnail = get_thumbnail( $width, $height, $classtext, $titletext, $titletext, false, 'Blogimage' );
					$thumb = $thumbnail["thumb"];

					if ( 'on' === et_get_option( 'divi_page_thumbnails', 'false' ) && '' !== $thumb )
						print_thumbnail( $thumb, $thumbnail["use_timthumb"], $titletext, $width, $height );
				?>

				<?php endif; ?>

					<div class="entry-content">
					<?php
						the_content();

						if ( ! $is_page_builder_used )
							wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'Divi' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) );
					?>
					</div> <!-- .entry-content -->

				<?php
					if ( ! $is_page_builder_used && comments_open() && 'on' === et_get_option( 'divi_show_pagescomments', 'false' ) ) comments_template( '', true );
				?>

				</article> <!-- .et_pb_post -->

			<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

			</div> <!-- #left-area -->

			<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
			
		</div> <!-- #content-area -->
	</div> <!-- .container -->

hello, i hope you can help me.

i installed bbpress 2.5.4, i also installed buddy press 2.0.2, so i could have a private group forum.

this is what i want.

i want to have 2 forums. one for general public and another to vip public.
in general public forum anyone should be able to participate.
in vip public forum group only members can see and participate here.

so i installed buddy press to have this vip public group.
and i choose some vip members but when going to the forums… this group is not visible, not even to the vip members.

what am i doing wrong? or is my bbpress not compatible with the buddy press?

please help. and thanks

mobile look is bad in nearly all themes or they just hide things

well yeah but bbpress support fixed the way replies look a while ago by floating the name and role to the right of the avatar.

I think the only problems now is just the way topic/forum stats and freshness display.

And also if you have breadcrumbs , subscriptions , topic descriptions ,and topic tags they become a mess at the top.

thing is though the easiest way to fix some of these things is to hide them with css.

other ways might be to use a mobile theme, or maybe jquery.

The best mobile version of a bbpress website ive seen is probably quicksprouts forum

http://www.quicksprout.com/forum/

the big part i like is that the permalink to a forum and topic has a huge tap target which is great for mobile users.

Im trying to figure that out but its going to take awhile, but yeah easiest way to get it is to probably have a mobile theme.

i am also trying to implement the way some mobile websites display forums , and also the way mobile apps display forums, example : reddit is fun app on android, or tapatalk.

and this site here also need a mobile version

it does , i saw they made a ticket in the trac to make the site responsive , so im sure its gonna happen in the future.

Has it been created or should I develop this with my team? I believe it would be a great addition to BBPress; awards when a user gets a certain amount of replies or topics and custom awards you could add. If we get at least 15 replies of interest, we will develop this plugin. We will charge a small fee for a life-time license.

Look forward to your input.

You need to get bbpress to use the full width template

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

[solhuebner]

I think you should sell it and so be able to improve it over time 🙂 but the bbPress urgently needs a better look (mobile look is bad in nearly all themes or they just hide things) and this site here also need a mobile version… Crazy in these days to only offer a desktop view…

[Robkk]

i would use a different forum index layout.

read whats on this and download the file and see what you can take off of it.

Alternate bbpress index page

[bertusschoeman]

Good day, I am running the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress and would appreciate some assistance with getting my forum’s sub pages full width. I am using Elegant Themes’s Divi theme.

So I can choose to have the main Forum page full with by checking that in the page settins – http://secularsociety.co.za/forum/ but as soon as you go to one of the forum’s sub pages it resizes it back to a page that has a sidebar – http://secularsociety.co.za/forum/topic/ask-an-atheist/. I’ve read and tried a bunch of things without any luck. I am also not a css master, but I am willing to try anything.

Thank you for your time.

Any progress on this?
I really love the design and how useful it is. Once again good job, bbPress deserves something like this 🙂

Hi,

bbPress V2.5.4
WordPress V4.0
http://www.angestforum.se

I’ve just created translations for bbPress and BuddyPress using PoEdit. The BuddyPress translation works fine. But the bbPress translation doesn’t change these words:

1. Number of topics, number of posts (in forums overview)
2. “Post Topic”-button
3. “Voices”, “Posts” for topics

Other things, like “Topic Title” and “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” etc. are however translated.

What is overriding my translation for these things? Any help is much appreciated. The language in wp-config is set to sv_SE (swedish).The translations are titled bbpress-sv_SE.po and .mo.

[Robkk]

i checked this out and i think you need to fix the “Filed Under” that is under every forum.

if you havent made a bbpress.php do so to fix that.

@lynq I hope you can help me.

As you see here, in the general section it shows the topic and posts count nicely on the correct place.
However on the sub-forums u can see the counts are just ext to the name. how can i position these so they get on the same position like the ones above?

I tried to add a class here

// Parse arguments against default values
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
		'after'             => '</ul>',
		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'        => '</li>',
		'count_before'      => '(',
		'count_after'       => ' )',
		'count_sep'         => ', ',
		'separator'         => ', ',
		'forum_id'          => '',
		'show_topic_count'  => true,
		'show_reply_count'  => true,
	), 'list_forums' );

Like this:

// Parse arguments against default values
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
		'after'             => '</ul>',
		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'        => '</li>',
		'count_before'      => '<div class="counts">',
		'count_after'       => '</div>',
		//'count_sep'         => ', ',
		//'separator'         => ', ',
		'forum_id'          => '',
		'show_topic_count'  => true,
		'show_reply_count'  => true,
	), 'list_forums' );

to then style it in css, but when i try this it doesnt show the count anymore and i cANT EDIT IT IN CSS.

[Topknotch]

Brilliant worked a treat !! Now to move all smf posts to bbpress 🙁
thanks Robin for all your help

[Robin W]

ok, I downloaded the theme and had a play

you need to create this file as bbpress.php

<?php global $theme; get_header(); ?>

    <div id="main">
    
        <?php $theme->hook('main_before'); ?>

        <div id="content2">
            
            <?php $theme->hook('content_before'); ?>
        
            <?php 
                if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
                    /**
                     * Find the post formatting for the pages in the post-page.php file
                     */
                    get_template_part('post', 'page');
                    
                    if(comments_open( get_the_ID() ))  {
                        comments_template('', true); 
                    }
                endwhile;
                
                else :
                    get_template_part('post', 'noresults');
                endif; 
            ?>
            
            <?php $theme->hook('content_after'); ?>
        
        </div><!-- #content -->
    
        <div id="sidebar-primary">

   <?php
        if(!dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-bbpress')) {
            /**
            * The primary sidebar widget area. Manage the widgets from: wp-admin -> Appearance -> Widgets 
            */
            $theme->hook('sidebar-bbpress');
        }
        $theme->hook("sidebar_primary_after");
    ?>
    
</div><!-- #sidebar-primary -->
        
        <?php $theme->hook('main_after'); ?>
        
    </div><!-- #main -->
    
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Then in your style.css you need to add the following to the bottom just above the

/* =END

#content2 {
  float: left;
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 630px;
}

That should do it

@vegasinc I’m glad to hear that helped. Hope bbPress resolves the issue soon.

[rookpsu]

I think I found the issue.

Problem with the default "do not reply" email address

True to form, my domain begins with an ‘s’ so it was truncating the first letter as well. I assumed I just typed it in wrong.

[Robin W]

try using the method shown here

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[rookpsu]

Only after updating to the latest version of BBPress did I start receiving subscription email notifications.

The problem is, somewhere, at some point, I set the reply email address to one which doesn’t really exist so every time someone leaves a post in which they’re subscribed to I’m getting this email seconds after it:

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

noreply@domain.com

Technical details of permanent failure:
DNS Error: Domain name not found

I simply can’t find where I have to go to change this email address so that my inbox isn’t flooded with this delivery error notifications.

Any help is appreciated.

[Robin W]

you have a smart theme that is displaying that, which someone has customised.

can you look in your theme and see if you have a folder here

wp-content/themes/eighties/bbpress

If you have can you list the files held there

[Robin W]

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.
