Make sure your users are triggering any ‘bad words’ in WordPress comment moderation.

Moderation and BlackListing

[Stephen Edgar]

If you only want to have a forum on that site install WordPress and bbPress in the domain forums.example.com. If you want to have separate blog and forum you should look at WordPress Multisite using sub domains, your forums would be the 2nd site at forums.example.com and your WordPress blog would be at eaxample.com.

A good starting point is https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

[Stephen Edgar]

You can also post on http://jobs.wordpress.net/ if your looking for a WordPress/ bbPress developer.

[Stephen Edgar]

I am not sure what you mean, bbPress does not include any links titles details

Could you explain it in more detail please, maybe some screenshots if that will help and/or a link to your forums.

[Stephen Edgar]

This is a theme issue, you should make a copy of your page.php file and rename it bbpress.php in your themes folder.

[Stephen Edgar]

You copy the files to /mytheme/bbpress as stated in the links above.

You also should change your template as I suggested above, that is the primary cause of your issue I think.

[Stephen Edgar]

See the following https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

Should the admin get an email when a post goes into moderation if I have E-mail me whenever A comment is held for moderation selected in the Settings > Discussion.

I have no idea 😉

bbPress is not currently doing this, nor have I got to the this bit in the recent code updates I have written. This is probably something we would want to iterate on further once the changes we have been making as linked above in #2589 and ‘Per forum moderation’ in #459 and how we handle notifications for not just keymasters but also specific forum moderators also.

[Stephen Edgar]

This I’d think (I don’t use Facebook) would be an issue for whatever plugin you are using for sharing to Facebook. Rather than just picking up bbPress topic title it is grabbing more than it should.

are you using a child theme ?? with bbpress.css in your child theme??

cause what i might think is that you have put bbpress.css into your child theme a long time ago

but the bbpress plugin updated their css with a repsonsive layout and you just dont have that code in your child themes bbpress.css

if im right , you can just check out the bbpress plugin and copy styles to your child themes bbpress.css

[Robkk]

@tonydes child theme

you put it either one i guess,

i copy most of my code into my custom css editor in my theme because it works automatically for me

but if i have to put the code into my bbpress.css in my child theme , i have to add !important alot

[Indrekkor]

So the post appears in “Activity”, but not in other views ? (general forum view etc.)

This is probably not a bbPress problem, but it is caused by a plugin you use for cacheing.

You could always turn-off whatever plugins you are using (not neeed for forum to lose functionality) and then see if everything is OK.

ok, so what happens at the moment is that the bbpress.php calls the footer.php at the bottom of it.

The footer in turn calls the sidebar (this is an annoying habit that theme developers have started doing, sidebars should be called in theme pages not in footers aggghhh!).

so what we’ll do in bbpress.php is simply take out the call to the footer, and put the footer code minus the sidebar into the bbpress.php

so in bbpress.php remove the line which says

<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>

Then put this code in it’s place

</div><!– .content-wrap –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_main’ ); // oxygen_close_main ?>

</div><!– #main –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_main’ ); // oxygen_after_main ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘before_footer’ ); // oxygen_before_footer ?>

<div id=”footer”>

<?php do_atomic( ‘open_footer’ ); // oxygen_open_footer ?>

<div id=”footer-content” class=”footer-content”>

<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( ‘footer_content’, hybrid_get_setting( ‘footer_insert’ ) ); ?>

</div>

<?php get_template_part( ‘menu’, ‘subsidiary’ ); // Loads the menu-subsidiary.php template. ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘footer’ ); // oxygen_footer ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_footer’ ); // oxygen_close_footer ?>

</div><!– #footer –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_footer’ ); // oxygen_after_footer ?>

</div><!– .wrap –>

</div><!– #container –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_body’ ); // oxygen_close_body ?>

<?php wp_footer(); // wp_footer ?>

</body>
 </html>

Come back with what that does !

heres is a straight link to where you need to be, but reading the whole page isnt bad too

[Robin W]

ok, could be a number of issues

start with theme and plugin as 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.

Then look at the documentation to see what else you might need to do

Hi!

I installed the BBpress plugin to my wordpress site http://www.wacky.no

I added a new forum (unable to see categories..maybe thats the problem?)
I added a new topic..

But when i save – and visit forum its only a black screen http://www.wacky.no/forums/forum/wacky-forum/

What do i do wrong?

[dice2dice]

I found a better solution that the one I was using whilst searching the BBPress Plugin forums. ‘bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab’ – works much better, though I can’t get it to upload images at present, but atleast there are other image embeding options for bbPress.

[dice2dice]

Sorry @netweb, I discovered your reply only this evening.

I followed the above instruction but it hasn’t resolved my issue.

Until a couple of months back, as soon as a member posted in a forum on my site they could see their post. Now they can’t unless they go to their profile and click on ‘Activity’.

The posts eventually appear but take so long that it completely stops the fluidity of conversations.

Has anyone else come across this issue and does anyone have any suggestions for how it might be resolved?

I have the latest version of both WordPress and bbPress. My website is http://www.whichinvest.com

Thanks

[dice2dice]

Hi,

The editing tools I have available to members of my site are the same on this forum, with ‘b-quote’, close tags etc.

These are confusing for members who are not technically minded.

Is there a better solution that perhaps looks more similar to Microsoft Word icons or something else that is easy to use?

I am trying to implement a search box inside a Buddypress group that searches on the contents of the Group Forum. I found some helpful instructions here

Basically, I pasted the following code outside the loop in the “content-single-forum.php” file. (Of course this was done to a copy of the bbpress file which I imported into my theme’s bbpress folder):

<h3>Search Forum</h3>
<form role="search" method="get" id="bbp-searchform" action="">
<label for="ts">Search the support forum topics</label>
<input type="text" name="ts" id="ts" value="<?php echo ( isset( $_REQUEST['ts'] ) ) ? $_REQUEST['ts'] : ''; ?>" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</form>

This code however, performs search only on the topics and not the replies.

Can someone suggest appropriate modifications to the code so that it searches on both topics and replies rather than just the topics.

Many thanks!

[Robin W]

it’s not taking

.bbpress #sidebar-secondary {
 display:none ;

}

try

.bbpress #sidebar-secondary {
 display:none !important;

}

[aussiestar14]

I changed
<div class=”bbpress-wrap”>
<div id=”bbpress-content”>

in my bbpress.php and added

.bbpress-wrap {
width : 100% ;
}
#bbpress-content {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 30px;
width : 100% ;
}

.bbpress #sidebar-secondary {
display:none ;

}
to my style.css

but still have the right sidebar below -.-
What did i do wrong?

[joejozwowski]

I’ve had a number of my users complain about this, so I would like to change it so that it redirects back to where you logged in. but I have no idea where to start.

I’m using the bbPress Login Widget in the sidebar for people to log in and out of their account

[Robin W]

What can I change to eliminate the sidebar remnants that remain?

The code in your style.css was supposed to do that ie

.bbpress #sidebar-secondary {
 display:none ; 

}

I cannot see the other sidebar on your site – have you cleared your cache/refreshed your browser, and if you can still see it tell me which browser (eg IE, Chrome etc.) and give me a specific url

We should be able to crack this one 🙂

[watstyl08]

OK!

I tried this, and I think we’re getting extremely close 🙂

Note that you also have to remove this code from your bbpress.php file

<div class="aside">
		
		<?php get_sidebar( 'primary' ); // Loads the sidebar-primary.php template. ?>

The only problem with my Forum now is that the “right” sidebar still shows up, albeit below the full-page forum. Check it out here –> http://www.ibeacon.com/forums/forum/ibeacon-com-forums/

This is my code for the full-page template

‘get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>

</div>

<?php do_atomic( ‘before_content’ ); // oxygen_before_content ?>

<div class=”bbpress-wrap”>

<div id=”bbpress-content”>

<?php do_atomic( ‘open_content’ ); // oxygen_open_content ?>

<div class=”hfeed”>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

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

<?php do_atomic( ‘before_entry’ ); // oxygen_before_entry ?>

<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” class=”<?php hybrid_entry_class(); ?>”>

<?php do_atomic( ‘open_entry’ ); // oxygen_open_entry ?>

<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( ‘entry_title’, ‘[entry-title permalink=”0″]’ ); ?>

<div class=”entry-content”>

<?php the_content( __( ‘Continue reading <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘oxygen’ ) ); ?>

<?php wp_link_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<p class=”page-links”>’ . __( ‘Pages:’, ‘oxygen’ ), ‘after’ => ‘</p>’ ) ); ?>

</div><!– .entry-content –>

<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( ‘entry_meta’, ‘<div class=”entry-meta”>[entry-edit-link]</div>’ ); ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_entry’ ); // oxygen_close_entry ?>

</div><!– .hentry –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_entry’ ); // oxygen_after_entry ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_singular’ ); // oxygen_after_singular ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div><!– .hfeed –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_content’ ); // oxygen_close_content ?>

</div><!– #content –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_content’ ); // oxygen_after_content ?>

<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>`

What can I change to eliminate the sidebar remnants that remain?
