Hi guys, I’m pretty new(bie) on WordPress, hope some1 could help me.

I’ve created a little test site here: http://www.elite-force.it/test

Then, I’ve installed bbpress and I’ve created menu entries with those magical-fantastic short codes.

Everything seems going fine, of course it will need some CSS adjustment but I don’t panic on that… else way I panic because I can’t reach profile page…

My forum is: http://www.elite-force.it/test/forum/
And profile for my user should be: http://www.elite-force.it/test/forums/user/goose/

When I go to my profile page, something strange happen… It seems that bbpress use my homepage php to build the page.. of course result in a home-similar, with a “THESE POSTS ARE BY: ” on top and any other infos…

I read that bbpress look for page.php if there is no bbpress.php on theme root folder, but if I also create a copy of my page.php or post.php doesn’t fix the problem.

Is because that template uses dynamic pages? there is no solution? I mean, There is no way to override bbpress page settings and make a different view for the profile page?

Please… help those noob

[fasttimes]

Sorry if this has been answered but I was not able to find this in my search.

1. Can PHPBB topic views be imported into bbPress?
2. How can they be displayed instead of voices?

Thanks in advance for your help. Would really appreciate knowing how to make this possible.

Thanks,

Hi Robin,

Not sure what was confusing about my questions? I’ll try and make them a bit more clear.

1. The only place within bbPress that says: “Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue” is on the page after clicking on a topic if you’re not logged in. This is what needs to be edited and I can’t find the php code to edit this.

I need to edit the text that’s contained in the yellow box because the default links to Login and Register take you to the default WordPress login and register screen. I don’t want that and would like to:

A. Remove the links altogether and just leave the text.
B. Edit those two links to lead to my front-end Login / Register pages instead.

In other words, If you go to the default forums page, after clicking on a forum you are taken to the discussions page. If you’re not logged in, at the bottom is a yellow box that says “You must be logged in to create new topics.” This is fine because it not only says exactly what I want it to say, it doesn’t have links to Login and Register.

Next step…

After clicking on any of the listed discussions, you are then taken to the topics within that discussion. If you’re not logged in, at the bottom is a yellow box that says “Sorry, this forum is for verified users only. Please Login or Register to continue. This is the text that I need to edit because the login and register links don’t take my users to the pages I want them to go to. Instead of the front end login and register pages that I’ve created, these two links go to the default WordPress login register. I can’t have this.

How can I:

A. Remove the links altogether.
B. Edit the links to lead to my front-end Login / Register page.

Thank you so much for your time!!

Cheers!

bbPress Geniuses! I need your help!

According to the theming docs, bbPress is designed to look for a series of layout templates in this order:

‘plugin-bbpress.php’,
‘bbpress.php’,
‘forums.php’,
‘forum.php’,
‘generic.php’,
‘page.php’

The standard way to change your layout is to build a layout, and name it one of those so that bbPress finds it and displays it. This is simple, but it does not work if you use the “Headway Theme (or others like it) because it does not use traditional page layouts. Instead, layouts are created dynamically and output to php (somewhere… working with Headway to figure out where). This means I have no static php to copy or modify.

HERE’S WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP

My idea to fix this is to change the way bbPress looks for template files. The easy way to do this is just modify the code, but then it would be overwritten every time I update.

I think the best way to do this is to write a little plugin or a function for my functions.php file that modifies that list above to look for a different file than page.php.

But… I’m not so good with php, and hoping someone could help me figure out how to write that function or filter or whatever it would be called. 🙂

Hello

I’ d like to change my font size in bbpress, because its to small. I found a lot of stuff and I could change the most of the fonts but there are some fonts left:

user role is still very small
the topic descriptions are still small

Like:

Topic title (i could change this size)
startet by: Findolfin (this text is still very small)

Which is the right atribute?

Actually my code looks like that:

/*bbpress Forum Text fix – text ist lesbar*/
#bbpress-forums { font-size: inherit !important; }
div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags { font-size: inherit !important; }
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results { font-size: inherit !important; }
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li { font-size: inherit !important; } 

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
font-size: 18px;
}

span.bbp-admin-links a {
color: #bbb;
font-weight: normal;
font-size:14px;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-decoration: none;
}

div.bbp-template-notice {
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
padding: 0 0.6em;
margin: 5px 0 15px;
border-radius: 3px;
background-color: #ffffe0;
border-color: #e6db55;
color: #000;
clear: both;
}

Any links to where I can get bbPress forum skins?

[Robkk]

deactivate your plugins one at a time , and find the plugin thats causing some issues.
switch to a different theme and see if it works there

other than that contact GD bbPress attachment plugin support

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

[Robkk]

style one

bbpress looks plain , its like the canvas for a web designer

or fork up money for something thats really easy.

[Rob222]

I have to admit bbpress is ugly! Period. Is there any custom themes out which I could apply to my bbpress forum to make it look prettier?

[stote]

Hello,

I have installed the GD bbPress attachment plugin but the attachment button is not appearing. I have tried researching into it but cannot work out why it is not working. Please help!

Wordpress version is 3.9.2 and bbPress version is 2.5.4.

Many thanks!

[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.

Hi Guys

The link to create a new forum is missing in he WordPress backend.
I have the ‘Forum’ link in the menu on the left, but there is no ‘Add New’ or ‘New Forum’ option.

I am logged in as Admin

I have BBpress 2.3.2
ihave “bbpress quotes” plug in and “GB BBpress attachemtnts” plug in.

If i disable the attachments plug ins i lose the ‘Forum’ link in the left hand menu completely! When i reactivate this plug in i get the Forum menu item again with only the ‘Archive forums’ option

Can anyone help? I just need to create one more forum!

Thanks in advance for any help or advice guys

🙂

What Rob said, also like the fact that the thing I always go looking for is the template notice “You must be logged in to create new topics.” to see if it matches the site, it does, nice 🙂

WPCanday still works for me also and I’m going to leave RatsClan there for now as it has a special place in a few of the bbPress developers hearts 😉 and as it looks like the “Playing Cards” will be returning in 2014 🙂

You can see a sneak peek of what the “old site” looked like here.

[Stephen Edgar]

Use the ‘Views’ widget in a sidebar or shortcode [bbp-single-view id="no-replies"]

https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/ https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[divyesh25]

hi every one..

i am not know much about bbpress. i want to display list of topics on which user never do reply.

thanks,

[Robkk]

only thing i could think of is changing your quote method to bbcode.
or deactivate your plugins, and activate them one at a time to find if there is a plugin issue.

but yeah not sure at all, you could also contact wp-monalisa support too

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-monalisa

but yeah its more of getting support from gd bbpress tools.

[Robkk]

contact gd bbpress tools support https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/

[Robkk]

i like the web design of everything.

background image on whole website, opacity on hover of topics, related topics, whose online , polls on topics look.

yeah pretty nice design.

on the bbpress examples page, yeah rastclan is dead, but wpcandy still works for me

Hi, I’m currently using WP 3.9.1 and bbpress 2.x
My site is at mmo4teen.com
I’m using the Stargazer theme. I installed the gd bbpress tools for quoting.
Here’s the problem. When I quote a comment that have emoticon ( using wp-monalisa ), I can see them normally on visual editor and see their code on text editor but when I post it, I can only see the code.
If anyone wanna try it. Login with:
user: 55
pass: 123123
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I have already installed bbPress successfully and some users post new topic/replies normally. However, one user’s new topic/replies are automatically marked as spams after he submits his posts. Is there any way to stop this? And does this relate to IP Address Blocker or anti-spam plugin?

WordPress version: 3.9.2
bbPress version: 2.5.4

Any help is truly appreciated. Hope to get response soon.

Regards,
Linh Do

you should be remove *template Name : ….*
its not a page template, should be have some code like this in start file :

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying bbPress content.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage BuddyBoss
 * @since BuddyBoss 3.0
 */

get_header(); ?>

	<!-- if widgets are loaded in the Forums sidebar, display it -->	
	<?php if ( is_active_sidebar('forums') ) : ?>		
		<div class="page-right-sidebar">

	<!-- if not, hide the sidebar -->
	<?php else: ?>
		<div class="page-full-width">
	<?php endif; ?>

			<!-- bbPress template content -->
			<div id="primary" class="site-content">
			
				<div id="content" role="main">

					<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
						<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
						<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
					<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

				</div><!-- #content -->
			</div><!-- #primary -->

			<?php get_sidebar('bbpress'); ?>

		</div><!-- closing div -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I deleted the left empty bbPress sidebar, but now the oxygen side appears. There is no difference when I change location settings for primary sidebar to just appear with posts.

the right sidebar is working very good.

Hi guys,

I’m not sure exactly why this is happening, but I’m guessing it’s due to the way subscription emails are sent out and the no-reply address grabbing the site info incorrectly.

Am I right in assuming that when there are subscriptions to a forum/ topic, they now get sent out as one email with everyone Bcc’d?

Anyway, when someone posts a new topic on my site – and I guess there are subscribers – I say guess, as I don’t think there is a way of us seeing subscriber numbers – an email must get generated to notify them.

Well I’ve been getting non-deliverable emails back at me saying that one of these emails was sent to noreply@www.mywebsite.com and that the address doesn’t exist.

Well with the www. in there it won’t exist.

Why would BBPress be trying to send an email to a noreply address in the first place?

Could someone explain – it’s probably obvious, so sorry in advance!

Thanks so much for your time!

Ross 🙂

Hey all!

Just finished working on my 1st attempt for a bbPress layout, the site was originally phpBB and I converted it over to bbPress with the custom theme. It’s also responsive for tablets/phones. Let me know what you think, thanks!

I was also browsing the bbPress Examples page and noticed there were a few dead links on the page, not sure if anyone can update these:
