well i think bbpress in the future will have more functionality for moderators.
i think its assigning one to each forum or something like that, cant remember much.
what kind of panel of controls should moderators have, like explain a little more??
@pavle123
I understand that man, I would rather have this as a plugin or just a template for my forums opposed to a theme, as I do not want to change a theme.
well if i make a child theme you can just take whatever code is in the templates and the bbpress.css file i have.
I know this info about quicksprout because I am an active member of a community and it has been mentioned by the owner (i think there is even a sticky post about forum cost since many people ask this over and over).
J just saw the topic , it even says he plans to spend 20,000 when its all set and done. When I really looked at it I can see there is some modified plugins like bbpress direct quotes and new ones like how it has reputation under each user, but c’mon 20,000!!!
What I do not like about their theme is that you have to click on the subforms in order to see if there is a latest post already there.
well i like to keep some freshness stats when the forum is mobile. And how i have it right now is the latest post time goes to the latest topic in that forum.
that’s a bit of styling needed
add
#bbpress-forums {
margin: 25px !important;
width: 960px !important;
}
to your theme’s style sheet, or preferably to your child theme

Hi,
i know maybe this question was made a lot but i did find nothing ab that.
I use .html on PAGES plugin which works good with the site but not with bbpress.
My bbpress categories and topics still have the slash at the end of the url.
How can I add the .html extension url at the end of every bbpress url?

Hi Folks,
i came across the same problem. To prevent bbpress adding a prefix ala “Forum: lalala” to the meta title do this:
function my_generate_titles( $new_title ){
// reset the format to title only
$new_title['format'] = '%s';
return $new_title;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_title_parse_args', 'my_generate_titles' );
@saulmarq you can query your title data within the function and set the $new_title[‘text’] var with the value you want to display

How can I change the template for ther forum page?
Exampel /forums/forum/bbpress/
i dont know what you are talking about Millerzoe….
thanks to an aswer of shanebp. in the buddy press help section i came out with the solution.
i am a rookie so i didn’t know the basics on how to use buddy press with bbpress…
so maybe a rookie can find this helpfully
this is what i did.
i went to bbpress.
i created a forum called general public and another called vip section
then i went buddy press group section and i created a group called vip, here is the thing. the group doesn’t make a forum. you must make it firt. in this example i took the vip section forum.
this were my steps
1) in FORUM. i created:
*general public forum (the one everyone must be able to see and participate) has the standard settings
*vip section forum (the one only for the people of the vip group) has this settings: tipe: forum; State: Open; visibility: Private
2) in GROUPS. i created a new group called VIP
this were the settings, Is a Hidden Group. and invitations can only be given by admins and moderators
in this way:
– when people is not logged in they can only see the general public forum.
– when they logging they can participate in the general public forum, they can see the private vip section forum but they cannot participated in it (i wanted that they would see it neither but this is how it works) in other words, they can see the group forum (vip section) but they cannot see what´s inside.
– when a member of the vip group logging they can see and participated in bouth forums.
Hi,
Which plugins I need to use to leave my bbPress more robust, similar to IP.Board. I need to have the control panel for moderators and several other similar things with IP.Board.
Help me, Please.
Best Regards,
Icaro
Developers: please… design a simple plugin for people like me. A very-simple-plugin that allows me to change colors, fonts and two or three things more. I would be help a lot to BBPress users than don’t know how to use CSS.
It’s on my list of things to do when I get some time – agree it would be really useful, but I need to learn a bit more about how to get plugins to write css !
Ok, you’ll need to copy this and rename it bbpress as per the above
As this is a theme file, I’m having to guess a bit about what it is doing, so this may or may not work.
So once you have this as bbpress.php
delete
$is_page_builder_used = et_pb_is_pagebuilder_used( get_the_ID() );
and replace it with
$is_page_builder_used = TRUE ;
come back and let us know if that works
Hi,
i found an error in your css file. I read this media query:
@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px), screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
}
This rules does’nt work because it is semantically incorrect.
Normally the plugin works fine but if you try to minify your css file (I tested it with w3 total cache), the minify file generates an error and doesn’t work correctly.
Please, can you fix this ?
Thanks
Andrea
P.s.: I found this error on bbpress and buddypress wordpress plugins.
Im not using phpbb, im using bbpress
Hi, I’ve read here that bbpress redirects users to the homepage instead user’s profile as wp does.
That’s perfectly cool, but I would like to redirect my users into the /forum’s page instead the home.
How could I change this redirection? (only for subscribers/participants role)
Thanks!
🙂
Hi
I am using bbPress plugin and getting so many spams, Please help how can I get rid of spams in forums registration and Topic Registration.
I need to secure the registration process. I’ve been battling spam bots all weekend. Please help.
Thanks
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() );
?>

$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 );

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.
