I have a plugin that does xx topics

bbp additional shortcodes

if that is what you are after

[giuseppe23]

Thats OK I found the solution..
Changed the #bbpress-forums a with the code below

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body a{
	color: #000;
}
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body {
	color: #000;
}

It worked fine..

[giuseppe23]

Peter thankyou but I tried like this and I just did again with yours now but didn’t change anything
I did this one wich worked fine:

.bbp-breadcrumb {
	color: #fff;
}

Code above changed the color to white but codes below didnt change anything.

.bbp-breadcrumb p a {color: #fff;}
.bbp-breadcrumb-home {color: #fff;}
.bbp-breadcrumb-current {color: #fff;}

I have a black background of my wordpress site and site color is white for blog but for bbpress I changed only the header and footer background colors and used the code below

#bbpress-forums a{
	color: #000;
}
#bbpress-forums {
	color: #000;
}

So I did this because bbp-topic has white background and in this case the links became #000 as site background but the breadcrumbs are on the top where the background is black too and I need to change the breadcrumb link color to white …

Hi All,

I can see that there is both a vBulletin and a vBulletin 3 option to import a forum. Do I simply select ‘vBulletin’ in order to import a VB5 forum, or am I stuck?

Many thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,

[Peyman Moghaddam]

It’s ok I found the answer here:

Thanks! In case anyone is wondering, I amended the bbpress.css file

[giuseppe23]

Hi , Is there any way to chnge the breadcumb link color?
I tried

.bbp-breadcrumb a{
	color: #fff;
}

The code above does not change the color.

Hi all

Is there a template in the bbpress theme that appears on every page

I’m using the following code in loop-topics.php to show a link to the users profile page

<a class="bbp-profile-button" href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>">Profile Settings</a>

This works but only appears on the topics page.

I would like the link to be on every page.

This is a wordpress thing than a bbpress thing.

you can see on settings>general in the wordpress backend when you go to email its says right below it

This address is used for admin purposes, like new user notification.

to disable that add this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-new-user-notifications/

more info here

http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-disable-new-user-notifications-in-wordpress/

[Robkk]

im able to do this all using a child theme and copying bbpress templates into my child theme of course, so that i am safe when a new bbpress upgrade happens.

[Robkk]

bbpress does exactly what your talking about.

the only thing you want is just to display the published date , while not showing latest activity at all??

[Robkk]

bumping too soon ?

at least you did not create an entirely new topic

bbpress has that tabled layout by default , its your child theme

Stargazer Colloquium added that kind of layout to your theme.

what you can do is find each changed template you dont want and just replace it with some of the original bbpress template code by copying it there.

and also check on the bbpress.css in your child theme

[ALBCODERS]

I read many articles here but couldn’t try any solution.
I’m triùying to change the background color of bbpress header and footer and I found this article here
I’m using propanel and a custom-style.php iùwith the code below I can change the color but not background..

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header,
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
background: <?php echo $bbpbg; ?>;
color: <?php echo $bdcolor; ?>;
}

Do you have any idea I used also this one but I didnt get success.

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% <?php echo $bbpbg; ?>;
color: fff;
}

Is there a Plugin / hack to provide for Social Sharing Buttons on each reply on a thread which share that individual reply ( along with its images etc.. ) to a Social Site and not the Topic itself ?

For eg. say there is a Jokes thread with many jokes. Now I want to share one particular Joke on a Social Site, not the thread itself…..

Using WP 3.9.2, bbPress 2.5.4

Site :

http://getjoy.in

[Learner]

Can the free version of :

http://rating-widget.com/

be used to give ratings on Threads of bbPress , with a seperate rating possible on each reply too ?

Also, any other alternatives for the same purpose ?

[FlickChicks]

Hi,

I have put the “(bbPress) Forums List” widget in my sidebar, but besides showing bbPress site-wide forums, it also shows forums from Buddypress groups. How do I make it so only bbPress forums show in the list?

I am wondering if something in my bbPress settings is off. For my “Forum Root” I listed “forums” and where it says “Forum root should show” I have “Forum Index”. My “Single Forum Slug” is “forum”. I have “Enable Group Forums” selected, and under “Group Forums Parent” I have “-Forum Root-” selected. Would any of those settings have something to do with it?

I appreciate any help offered. I have looked at several support forum posts and don’t see anything answering my specific question.

Thanks!

[Robkk]

yeah i still dont get why bbpress doesnt do that. I knew my bbpress on my local site did it before, or maybe i was messing with some other forum…

but yeah i found this site does what you need to.

click reply and the reply form goes up.

do you have anything??

[Matoca]

Update: Bluehost crashed all my domains this afternoon due to a server problem and when they finally brought it back up, everything is working fine. I’ll never know what it was that they disabled that caused the server so many forum problems for over 12 hours. I had all other kinds of issues too besides this.

Bluehost has mentioned on past occasions that a conflict due to PHP versions was causing problems with my sites (white screen of death for 24 hours in June). They are trying to drop support for PHP 5.2, I don’t use that but use PHP Fast 5.4. However, I wonder if bbPress requires 5.2 for some functions? It would be helpful for future reference.
Thank you, Matoca

Thanks, I checked into the activity loop and it looks like that would do the job. All this time I’ve been messing around with bbPress.

Could you give me any guidance on how to simply add the activity loop? As is probably obvious, I am very new at these things (and have been ‘winging it’ so far with code and whatnot).

[Jerry]

Because I am trying to use a filter to change the wording within the file activity.php, within the bbpress directory, I think I’m in the correct forum.
I am trying the change the wording for the activity stream in buddypress: “jerry started the topic Doctor Sleep in the forum Horror” to “jerry added the book Doctor Sleep in the category Horror.”
I can go to bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php and make the change there. But I prefer to do this via a filter in bp-custom.php. I am ALMOST there. Here is the filter code I have in bp-custom.php:

add_filter( 'bbp_activity_topic_create', 'change_activity_wording', 1, 4 );
function change_activity_wording($activity_text, $user_link, $topic_link, $forum_link ) {
	$activity_text    = sprintf( esc_html__( '%1$s added the book %2$s in the category %3$s', 'bbpress' ), $user_link, $topic_link, $forum_link );
	return $activity_text;
}

What this produces is: “added the book in the category” and removes “jerry”, “Doctor Sleep”, and “Horror.” Basically, my filter is removing $user_link, $topic_link, and $forum_link. I’m thinking I need to redefine them in my function change_activity_wording? Or am I off track here?
If someone feels I should post this in the buddypress forum, let me know and I will do so.

[wp_maybe]

Does anyone know of any way to perform search on single bbpress forums? Has anyone implemented such a search functionality? Any helpful resources you can suggest?

Thank you

[Halo Diehard]

To add to the above post, I just tested with default theme and all plugins of except bbPress, BuddyPress and bbp buddypress profile information and the issue persists. Just wanted to rule out any conflicts, since I hadn’t done the first rule of testing plugins.

[Halo Diehard]

Ok, I created the second Label with the same name and it does the same thing.

Then, just as a test, I created another Profile Field with a different name, “Gamertag2”, labeling it in the plugin. To further test, I created a separate Profile Group and made another Profile Field in there, “@mention”. I went into the plugin and labeled that as the fourth one. All the labels show up under the profiles, but none of the info, even though everything is checked to show in the plugin.

It would be SO awesome to have this work. I searched for quite awhile today to find something, and found a thread by Jacob Jacoby from like five years ago talking about integrating BuddyPress and bbPress profile fields! So it’s well overdue to have something for non-coders, and that would be sweet for it to work.

I’ll keep testing whatever you ask, so just let me know how I can help.

Edit: I kept it all set up, so you can see it at the same link above.

[Stephen Edgar]

Pretty much anything can be done regarding bbPress/BuddyPress integration, they both play extremely well with each other, it is just really a matter of coming up with what you actually want

A couple of recent things that come to mind:

• https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pm-button-in-posts/
• https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-profile-fields-under-avatar-in-bbpress-forum-posts/#post-149983
• https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-not-show-buddy-x-profile-fields-on-bbpress-if-not-filled-in/

To add the @halo-diehard usernames add the following to loop-single-reply.php just after bbp_reply_author_link()

<?php bbp_user_nicename( bbp_get_reply_author_id(), array( 'before' => '<p class="bbp-user-nicename">@', 'after' => '</p>' ) ); ?>

What else did you have in mind?

[Brandon Moner]

I have a page named “The Hive” that I placed the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] onto in order to make that my forum index page. However when i go into a forum and then back out via the breadcrumbs at the top of the page, I’m no longer on the “The Hive” page index, but the “Forums” index.

I’m pretty sure I’m doing something wrong, so how can I have it to where…
1) I create a page to host the forum index named “The Hive”
2) When I click into a forum, the breadcrumbs read “Home/The Hive/[Forum Topic]”
3) When I click on “The Hive” in the breadcrumbs, it takes me back to “The Hive” page I created.

Now I am brand new to bbPress and as such, the method I outlined above might not be the way to do it. I’m not concerned with the process so much as the end result which can hopefully be something that doesn’t confuse the visitors when I launch the site.

[ajbuono]

Hi, I’m attempting to create a general chat page (private for registered users) using bbpress, although not getting very far with it. The goal is to have one chat page where once users are logged in, they can easily make posts in a similar way as they would on a facebook feed page, preferably with the newest posts on top.

I’m using WordPress 3.9.2, and bbPress 2.5.4.

Any advice would be very much appreciated!
