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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
ok, something is truncating this into excerpt
You need to see if it’s a plugin issue, switch back to a default theme.

sorry, you need to put it at the end of your functions file

Hi,
I have just decided to go for bbpress. I have some questions I hope someone can reply on.
Today I am on phpbb3 version 3.10 and some kind of unofficial version, phpbb3-seo, not supported by phpbb3 themselves. I made it a vanilla once and it can be done again.
Since 5 years I am on a custom phpbb portal solution. I am after the CMS functionality. I have almost completed a bridge between phpbb and Drupal, but got cold feets on Drupal. I want to goo with WP!
I wonder if there is a best practice for importing the db to bbpress? My DB has 90,000 posts and is over 350 MB in size. Will I have to go trough a vanilla? Can I bring with me the anonymous posts from deleted and anonymous users?
Looking forward to your reply!
Ps. If anyone want to give me an offer doing this for me I am open ears. I need one version now, and anonther version once the site is developed. We can exchange the DB trough Dropbox.
Cheers
ok, you will need to modify
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply
make a copy of this file, and put in in a directory called bbpress within your theme, so you end up with
wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply
If you know any coding you basically need to take out the div bbp-reply-author, and further up after the date add the author name
If you don’t know how to do any of that come back and I’ll try to help, but I have limited time to customise bbpress for individuals 🙂
you should be more specific next time so i could give you what you wanted
copy loop-replies.php from your bbpress plugin to a child theme folder named bbpress, if you havent created one create one
more information on this
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/
remove this entire code inside of your loop-replies.php in your child theme
<li class="bbp-header">
<div class="bbp-reply-author"><?php _e( 'Author', 'bbpress' ); ?></div><!-- .bbp-reply-author -->
<div class="bbp-reply-content">
<?php if ( !bbp_show_lead_topic() ) : ?>
<?php _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?>
<?php bbp_topic_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php bbp_user_favorites_link(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php _e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- .bbp-reply-content -->
</li><!-- .bbp-header -->
if you want to keep the favorite and subscribe links just place this code anywhere where you want to put them
<?php bbp_topic_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php bbp_user_favorites_link(); ?>
i use wordpress a plugin bbpress
i dont know that make difference
how to remove the author box on left page post completely?
please help
OK, the way I see it is like this.
There are two avatars cause the forum/topic list has two elements that use an avatar.
1. the avatar from the poster of the topic, this avatar is there with the topic title.
2. there is in the freshness an avatar displayed for the reply poster.
In between the topic title and topic freshness there is an element that handles reply, post and/or voice count.
This makes three elements inside this forum list, two with an avatar, hence two avatars.
The list itself is situated in an UL (unordered list in a bbpress php file called loop-single-reply.php).
This ul has three LI (list) elements inside it, the first topic-title, second topic-count, and third topic-freshness.
btw, you have a cache plugin that prevents s to check your CSS in chrome etc.
This line of code will put the avatars where they need to be, you just add this to your themes CSS file, and remove the display:none from your .avatar CSS.
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 8px;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
Here is how it looked for me after adding this.
good luck

@ttmt place this code into loop-topics.php above the <li class="bbp-header">
<a class="bbp-most-popular-button" href="http://sitename.com/forums/view/popular/">Most Popular</a>
@robin-w I think the second one would require PHP and i hate PHP , but i can tell you the second one is going to use scraps of this
<a href="<?php bbp_user_replies_created_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Replies Created", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Replies Created', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>
and some of this , basically the wp-get-current-user and output a link
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
anyone please help how can i put name email title put into one table when user post topic or reply?
another question is how to change these name email title font bold and larger and the table boarder color too?
thank you i use wordpress with bbpress plugin
No, I am not using this plugin. I just implemented the bbpress forum and have not made a full switch to it.
oh my bad , easy confusion when you said you replaced wordpress to a forum, i guess you ment user engagement.
When you said, that this functionality will be implemented in the future, you meant bbpress topics for posts?
yes , but the feature you suggest could be good for topics for posts, and going to Dashboard>replies
Now, on the other hand, I have to click the forum, the subforum, the topic, and scroll down to the end, to be able to reply.
Robin said go to Dashboard>replies , so you can see every reply and just click view to go straight to the reply, and make time a little faster , but yes a reply button would be great
Because I would like to see a reply button on the Dashboard–>Replies section
I would too , this is actually not a bad feature implemented in the core since it would be great for workflow for moderators in my opinion
so suggest a feature in the trac
@netweb should look at it
Never mind I just fixed it. In case anybody else experiences this problem, here is what I did:
(back up database first)
1) deactivate BBPress
2) install User Role Editor
3) Click the red Reset button which will reset all roles to WP defaults
4) Re-activate BBPress.
I have had this strange issue on two different sites now, where after installing BBPress, admin accounts are unable to access wp-admin directly. I can get to the sub-pages just fine such as themes, menus, etc, but when I try to go to the main wp-admin page, it tells me “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
When I click the “Dashboard” link from the admin, it redirects me to the Updates page.
And, interestingly, when I deactivate BBPress, the Dashboard menu item in the admin disappears entirely!
Clearly something must have gotten corrupted somewhere. Anybody have a fix?
Running latest WP and bbpress versions, the main index list of forums at /forums is cutting off midway through the list:
http://www.londonfosteringachievement.org.uk/forums/
I feel like this is probably something very easy to fix but can’t seem to locate the issue, any help gratefully received!
No, I am not using this plugin. I just implemented the bbpress forum and have not made a full switch to it.
When you said, that this functionality will be implemented in the future, you meant bbpress topics for posts? Because I would like to see a reply button on the Dashboard–>Replies section…
@robin-w just helping out
link to show a list of the most popular topics
this is easy you can just create an html link to the (most poplular) view in bbpress
<a class="bbp-most-popular-button" href="http://sitename.com/forums/view/popular/">Most Popular</a>
‘View my posts’ link so user could view a list of there posts
this would require a link to replies created
which i think you could if you edit some of this function
<li class="<?php if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) :?>current<?php endif; ?>">
<span class='bbp-user-replies-created-link'>
<a href="<?php bbp_user_replies_created_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Replies Created", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Replies Created', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>
</span>
</li>
I’ve just started using bbpress and I like the simplicity of it. I’ve been trying to customize it to my need for the past 2 weeks (yeah, I am slow). This is something that I came up with that I’d like to share with the community since I’ve learned so much from over here. And I am really proud of myself for coming up with this since I usually suck at php and css.
If you want a new topic, or new reply button on top of your topics list ore replies list.
You can just add this code to your functions.php and you are good to go. This way, it will only show a “new topic” link if the user is logged in. If they are not, then it’ll show a text saying “to post a new topic register or login”. Of course, you can change the code to whatever you want. And make sure you change the links to your login and register pages. And you can add class to customize the text with css.
//function to add new topic thread
function bbp_login_thread_link() {
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
<a href="#new-post">Create a new thread</a>
<?php }
else { ?>
<p> To create a new thread <a href="http://yourwebsite.com/login">login</a> or <a href="http://yourwebsite.com/register">register</a></p>
<?php }
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' , 'bbp_login_thread_link' );
//function to add new reply thread
function bbp_post_reply_link() {
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>
<a href="#new-post">Post a Reply</a>
<?php }
else { ?>
<p> To post a reply <a href="http://yourwebsite/login">login</a> or <a href="http://yourwebsite/register">register</a></p>
<?php }
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic' , 'bbp_post_reply_link' );
I am hoping you guys can add this to this article which has examples of layout and functionality. That article helped me immensely and I will feel honoured to have contributed to it.
I originally posted this on the BuddyPress forums and it was suggested over there that I post it here too.
Rather than copy/paste it, here is the link to the original post:
Showing BuddyPress hidden group forums to group members on bbPress forum index
Any help woud be appreciated.
Yes, you did it. Everything is perfect now. Thanks a lot for your hard work. I guess this is solved now.
Actually, I still have other things related to this theme and bbpress but I guess I’ll create different topic for them. Hope you’ll help me with them too.
ok so if your code savvy, two approaches
1. the hack
I haven’t tried this, but it should work fine
go into
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes.php
and look at line
355 which says
bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-topic' );
change that to
bbp_get_template_part( 'content', 'single-topicb' );
That will then get bbpress looking for a php file called ‘content-single-topicb.php’
so then you can use the method in my first post to create that file in your theme ie as per first post, but just rename the file with a b at the end.
YOU WILL need to change this each time bbpress upgrades as it will overwrite – hence why it is the hack ! But that’s hardly difficult !
2. the proper way
Would be to create your own version of the shortcode, by copying all that particular shortcode into your themes functions file, BUT renaming it (or you’ll get already loaded errors), and then lots of editing to get it to work.
Personally I’d go route 1, and just make a note to change that file each time bbpress upgrades
ok, I’ve worked out that error
You have two issues
1. the code is slightly wrong, I’ve corrected it in the documentation, but you need to change your line 168 from
function add_new roles( $bbp_roles )
to
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
ie an underline between ‘new’ and ‘roles’
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY
2. you have now put the code in a core functions file of bbpress, and it cannot run there as it calls code that has not yet been loaded.
The code needs to go into your THEME’s functions.php file, not any functions file with the PLUGIN bbpress.
Please read again
Functions files and child themes – explained !
ok the template you are after is
wp-content/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic.php
this will alter it wherever this template is used.
make a copy of this template and put it in a directory called bbpress in the root of your theme, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-topic.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
Then modify this file
to remove breadcrumbs take out line 14 which says
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
then move line 44 (will probably be line 43 if you’ve taken out then breadcrumb!) which says
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' ); ?>
You may need to play with where to put it 9i haven’t tried it) , but after lines 21 & 22
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
looks a good start, if not just keep moving it til you get what you want.
If you only want it to look like this for the shortcode, then that is doable but a lot more complicated !
