Hi All,
Why when I have updated bbpress to the version 2.5.4 I have lost the language files ? The po and mo files are not any more in the languages folder….
Is it a bug or how to solve that for the next update ?
Thanks
Regards,
That doesn’t seem to be possible in 2012, which forces a sidebar if you want a search facility, and which consumes a lot of vertical space with the identity of the contributor, including a large avatar.
Good job we’re in 2014 then 🙂
If you switch on the search facility
dashboard>settings>forums and look for search allow forum wide search, you’ll get a search bar at the top of the forums page
for the avatar size use the following code in your functions file
function my_bbp_change_avatar_size($author_avatar, $topic_id, $size) {
$author_avatar = '';
if ($size == 14) {
$size = 24;
}
if ($size == 80) {
$size = 110;
}
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
if ( !empty( $topic_id ) ) {
if ( !bbp_is_topic_anonymous( $topic_id ) ) {
$author_avatar = get_avatar( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ), $size );
} else {
$author_avatar = get_avatar( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email', true ), $size );
}
}
return $author_avatar;
}
/* Add priority (default=10) and number of arguments */
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_author_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_current_user_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
The example increase the size, just change to to what you want
see https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/ for how to do that
you can also remove things like keymaster – just come back with what you want – and we’ll try to help you
Your link takes you to a registration page
there are several ways to get a login.
You can use a sidebar and add the login widget

or you can add a login to your menus

or a modal login

Ok,
Can you confirm that that you actually followed my instructions? Which weren’t to re-install the widget. If you’ve simply done that then you would not have changed any settings (they remain in the database on deletion and are just re-enlivened when the widget is re-installed) and you would still have the problem. If you follow the instructions, this changes settings and in many cases gets it working.
But assuming you haven’t tried to guess what I was trying to get you to do, and have followed the instructions and these didn’t work, then we’ll try approach 2.
This involves installing another plugin and using that to set conditions on the sidebar.
so go to dashboard>plugins>install new and look for ‘widget logic’ by Alan Trewartha and install that.
This lets you set conditions on when a widget appears in the sidebar.
so now in your main sidebar if you look at any widgert you’ll see a new box at the bottom which says widget_logic
for any widgets you want in all your pages including bbpress – just leave this blank
for widgets that you just want in bbpress pages add the logic
is_bbpress() in the widget logic box
for widgets that you don’t want in bbpress pages add the logic
!is_bbpress() in the widget logic box
I’m extremely new to WordPress and totally new to bbpress. I have designed a community website in 2012 which seems fine, and want to add a forum.
It needs to be compact and waste no space, or people won’t use it. That doesn’t seem to be possible in 2012, which forces a sidebar if you want a search facility, and which consumes a lot of vertical space with the identity of the contributor, including a large avatar. My very first experimental shot is here:
http://www.hundredthmonkey.eu/?topic=wish-list
and you’ll see what I mean. I wish I could attach a screen shot of the Sibelius.com forum, which is my ideal.
I am thinking that the only solution will be to link out to a separate site with a really compact, unfussy, uncluttered theme. Can anyone suggest?
can you post the code from your current bbpress.php
‘ Not trying to assign “blame” here, but it seems that this may be a case of where one can’t solve a problem until one admits there really is a problem to be solved. ‘
sounds awfully like you are 🙂
A problem needs a problem definition, so if you can supply a series of repeatable steps which a) create the problem, and then b) eliminate it, I’d be delighted to have a look – by the way I’m not a bbpress developer, just a humble user like you who tries to give back something for what I have gained from this great free software. If you like to help, then that would be great !
Thanks for the reply. I hear what you are saying, but it seems that this problem — with the menus somewhat randomly disappearing and reappearing when you deactivate/reactivate other plugins — is particularly prevalent with bbPress. At least I haven’t run into it before, and it’s not because I’m a “newbie” with little experience using many different plugins in the same site. Not trying to assign “blame” here, but it seems that this may be a case of where one can’t solve a problem until one admits there really is a problem to be solved. Yes, I fully appreciate how much great free software that is available out there, and it doesn’t all have to be “perfect” – but I think in this case perhaps it could be better with a bit of effort applied to eliminate/reduce this problem. Cheers.
@surachar
I deactivated, deleted, reinstalled, and reactivated the Easy WP SMTP plug-in and tested: same result (below.)
OK, but did you just deactivate the plugin, and then test a forum post. I was keen to see if the problem was being caused by bbpress or the plugin.
@nightcoder – you’re issue may or may not be the same. That’s why I’m keen to get surachar
to see if they have the problem without the plugin.
The bit of code you quote is the bit that sets up the variable for the to address, but as far as I can see there’s nothing there that should be causing a problem, it simply strips the http part from the URL as set in wp_options ‘home’.
These issues will occur with different combinations of plugins, and it is nobody’s fault.
and it will never be eliminated.
Wordpress is free open source software. It allows others to hook into it using Filters and actions, as well as using templates and functions. Additionally theme developers can affect the way wordpress functions. This lets lots of other people change how wordpress works and add both functionality and looks.
So if two developers both hook into the same bit of code, the actions of one can alter or even cancel out the other’s code.
With many thousands of plugins it is simply impossible for developers to test to see if their plugin works with every other plugin out there.
bbPress is thoroughly tested with the latest version of WordPress, in combination with all of the wordpress default themes (twentyten, twentyeleven etc.) to ensure it functions. Most bbpress plugin developers will also test against this combination to give a good degree of conformance.
This is the best that you can get.
It is no more the fault of bbpress that it doesn’t work with plugin A, than it is the fault of plugin A that it doesn’t work with bbpress!
Sorry but that is life 🙂
Open source means you get lots of great FREE software but you don’t get an integration guarantee – it’s pretty damn good, but sorry not perfect.
And It’s nobody’s fault !
I have experienced similar problems with the bbPress menus not showing in the dashboard. For example, I have a site where both CPT UI and WordPress SEO plugins are installed. The menu items appeared adjacent to each other in the dashboard – then WordPress SEO menu appeared just above the CPT UI menu. After I installed bbPress, the Forums, Topics and Replies menus did not appear in the dashboard. When I use Chrome inspector to look at the code, it appeared that the bbPress menus were trying to display below the WordPress SEO menu and above the CPT UI menu — but they did not appear. I tried deactivating the WordPress SEO plugin to see what would happen and, sure enough, the bbPress menus then DID appear in the dashboard, just above the CPT UI menu. I reactivated WordPRess SEO, and everything now looks fine: SEO appears above Forums, Topics and Replies, followed by CPT UI.
So, perhaps all’s well that ends well, but this semi-random behavior is concerning. I’ve seen other similar issues myself, and employed different solutions recommended by others on different discussion threads. One of these involved installing the Capability Manager plugin. That fixed the dashboard menu problem but BROKE the CPT UI plugin! I deactivated Capability Manager, which un-broke CPT UI, and still the menus displayed correctly. So, again, all’s well that ends well — but what the heck is going on here? It would be nice if the bbPress plugin developer would weigh in on this topic — and figure out a way to eliminate these issues.
Stephen and Robkk, once again thanks for everything you do here.
I will continue improving my bbPress and will post some codes once I´m done.
And I try to track ‘all the things’ here on bbpress.org, I’m not necessarily able to participate and/or contribute to everything going on here but do typically read every post here on the site, luckily the forums here do not need much moderation, but some day to day maintenance is needed.
and we all thank you for that 🙂
ok, you have some distinct display issues caused by lots of adverts,masking any input, which are certainly not helping, but tried it and received no email.
This is a wordpress/host set up issue not a bbpress one.
EDITED : see post below
ok, could be many things, and we could spend a lot of time trying to track down the exact issue.
So we’ll go for two options
presuing that the “downloaded recommended plugin” is bbpress wp tweaks then lets start with :
Deactivate bbpress tweaks
Dashboard>plugins>bbpress tweaks>deactivate
Go into widgets
Dashboard>appearance>widgets
And look at the bottom of the left hand side. You’ll see an “inactive sidebar”, with your entries on
Below this is an “inactive widgets”
Drag all the entries from the inactive sidebar to the inactive widgets area.
This then allows wordpress to delete the sidebar
I normally log out and in again at this stage – probably not needed, but I’ve never bothered to check
Then basically reverse the above
Re-enable bbpress tweaks
You see the bbpress sidebar returns
Drag the entries back from the inactive widgets area to the sidebar
let us know if that works.
Cool, added the latest change, you can see where it was and where it moved to 😉

Are there any updates on importing an old bbpress forum? I am trying to do it at the moment and cannot seem to work it out.
Things are getting tricky and or difficult following the actual code here 😉
I just made a GitHub gist containing the original bbPress files and then progressing through each of the above posts revising the code in each file.
You can see it here https://gist.github.com/ntwb/695bc26b44d6458040c7
Scroll to the very bottom and you will see the descriptions of the revisions and links to each change 🙂
If you have a GitHub account you can ‘fork’ my Gist, edit and revise your own versions, it makes sharing code so much simpler to follow, but is only a suggestion of course, don’t feel obliged to have to create a GitHub account and continue as you are here if you like. Showing revisions, green code is new code and red is removed code along with line numbers is what makes version control so awesome, you are able to clearly see what has changed and where exactly 🙂

Unfortunately I pasted the code correctly, but I still do not see a link anywhere
well like is said i had trouble with it too i had the code in my content-archive-topic.php and then it disappeared for some reason.
But before i had the code there i just threw it into loop-topics.php so it should work.
But if your a style freak like me you will get annoyed whenever you look at your favorited topics and subscribed topics and also see the new thread link there too.
Any other ideas perhaps?
No idea, flush cache?
Sorry for bothering you man
nah your not bothering
ok delete the new thread code from content-archive-topic.php
and now copy loop-topics.php into your child theme
the entire code of loop-topics.php should look like this
<?php
/**
* Topics Loop
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_loop' ); ?>
<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" class="bbp-topics">
<a class="bbp-new-topic-button" href="#new-post">New Thead</a>
<li class="bbp-header">
<ul class="forum-titles">
<li class="bbp-topic-title"><?php _e( 'Topic', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php _e( 'Voices', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-freshness"><?php _e( 'Freshness', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="bbp-body">
<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</li>
<li class="bbp-footer">
<div class="tr">
<p>
<span class="td colspan<?php echo ( bbp_is_user_home() && ( bbp_is_favorites() || bbp_is_subscriptions() ) ) ? '5' : '4'; ?>"> </span>
</p>
</div><!-- .tr -->
</li>
</ul><!-- #bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?> -->
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_loop' ); ?>
Okay, I’ve just tried to delete the line get_footer in my old bbpress.php file and it worked. The only problem now is how to set it to full width. Can you help me with that. Sr for double posting.

hi there, I am running latest wordpress, buddypress and bbpress. on my registration form I have the standard wordpress details – username, email and password fields – but then I also have the username field for buddypress – in profile base fields which cannot be deleted. how can I delete one of these – or sync them – so that user only has to enter one username and not get confused with which username to use for logging in etc. please – someone I need urgent help on this – have already asked in buddypress forums but no luck yet. pllllleeeeeeaaaaasssseeee.
Thank you.
I would also like to update, so after reading some more last night, I found the documentation on the short codes. I tried making a dedicated page and using the short codes to load the main forum index. Now this works in almost every way, including using the proper sidebar that I want, however, the search option at the top is now off set, with the button below the bar instead of next to it. I have been fiddling with the CSS for awhile to see if I can get it to align properly, but so far no luck. And now, even the page provided by the bbpress plugin is doing the same thing. So maybe I messed something up, or maybe I’m just missing something, but if I can get this solved, I will have a perfect solution.

I am having an issue where the Login Widget is no longer showing the current logged in user’s name. The avatar and log out links are there, but the name has disappeared. Could it have something to do with changing the primary “name” profile field?
what am I doing wrong guys?
reading carefully
your suppose to put <a class="bbp-new-topic-button" href="#new-post">New Thead</a>
above <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_index' ); ?>
like this
<?php
/**
* Archive Topic Content Part
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
?>
<div id="bbpress-forums">
<?php if ( bbp_allow_search() ) : ?>
<div class="bbp-search-form">
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_is_topic_tag() ) bbp_topic_tag_description(); ?>
<a class="bbp-new-topic-button" href="#new-post">New Thead</a>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_index' ); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_index' ); ?>
</div>
tell me if you got it to work now
