How to set a maximum size(width and height) for signatures,
so user will not put oversized and very long images into their signature?
Is there any Spoiler BBCode plugins available for BBPress?
for no. 2
add
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
color: #666 !important;

}
to your style.css
Quickest way in your child theme remove the nickname form the form-user-edit.php template.

Currently in the edit user profile section of our bbPress (we deny access to the dashboard), users have a choice between displaying their username or actual name elements. They also have the option to write in a nickname and display that instead.
Is there any way to remove the nickname portion so that users can only display their username or actual name? Our concern is that users may abuse this ability to constantly change what name is displaying for them and it will be hard for us to police if necessary.
Thanks for the amazing plugin!
Hi, I have a question about forum migration. I need to migrate a Drupal 6 forum into BBPress. I see Drupal 7 migration is supported http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/. I have some questions:
Can this migration be easily done from Drupal 6?
Can I pay a BBPress professional to do it?
in the meantime, you can move it in your style.css
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
Yes,
If you have a forum page ie a wordpress page that has [bbp-forum-index] in it, (ie you’ve use method 2 rather than method 1 in this link
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
then go into edit on your forum page
Switch to text from visual and put
Create a new topic before the [bbp-forum-index] to get it at the top or after it to put it at the bottom.
or you could use
[bbp-topic-form] after the [bbp-forum-index]
or
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] to display a single forum topic form.
Lots of possibilities.
If you don’t have a set wordpress forum page, then you can create one, see method 2 in the link above
Do you have any static pages set in Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading (/wp-admin/options-reading.php), if you have a page here for the ‘Home’ and it has long text as it’s title that can cause the issue you see.
I am pretty sure you need to create a bbPress template for your theme, make a copy of page.php and rename it bbpress.php.
It looks like there are some similar questions in the theme support forums but I cannot see the answers as I am not a registered owner of the theme.

This has been updated for the next release of bbPress, it is floated right to the same way topic favorite and subscribe links are.
Just add the bbPress plugin to your WordPress install would be my tip 🙂
There is two parts to this:
1. The ‘moderator’ role cannot be currently set to only disable moving topics to another forum currently, to change this though a couple of tweaks to the form-topic.php template would achieve this end result.
2. There is also a bug where moderators can move a topic to a group forum that they are not a member of that we are looking into in #2639
Thanks extra sets of eyes with all of this ‘import’ stuff is always handy, boat loads of data all just starts to look the same after a while 😉
Indeed, ‘Reset Forums’ will remove everything bbPress, as long as you also check the ‘Delete Imported Users’ they will also be removed.
The wp_bbp_converter_translator is not explicitly required, if your site can create this table bbPress uses it as part of the import process, if not it will just use the ‘out of the box’ WordPress database tables. It also gets deleted when resetting the forums. It also relates to the bugs I found yesterday that I am working on fixing and as I stated above I am pretty sure your imports are not using wp_bbp_converter_translator as if you were you wouldn’t have had any stickies.
As to redirects you shouldn’t need that table for those, depending on your old phpBB permalinks
some simple right up to some advanced .htaccess will get you what you want.
A week or so back whilst messing about with splitting and merging topics I happened upon a WordPress feature for 301 redirection of old URL’s to new URL’s. I am yet to try this as it has only popped into my head as I wrote the previous paragraph that this may be something that could work so that imported topics and replies include full redirect support.
So much so I just gave it a whirl, if I store and old topic slug e.g. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9 I can query on the fly that topics new post ID and 301 redirect to it’s new permalink e.g. phpbb-v3-standard-topic 😉
It still doesn’t quite work though due to some URL weirdness presumably with one or a combination of the .php, ? and & characters, I am quite sure we can do something here though 🙂
No need for multiple topics within minutes of each other and the same topic, closing this one.
See https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-can-i-find-the-forum-ids-bbpress-2-5-4/
Using bbpress 2.5.4 and the subscribe text is bunched up against the last option (current forum) in the forum breadcrumb trail. While functionally not a problem it does go towards making the forum and site look unprofessional, so I was wondering is there anyway to fix this?
Nvm I found a explaination while digging around another support thread. But just in case someone stumbles here looking for the answer I’ll share.

“go into dashboard>forums>all forums and then edit for the forum you want. Now go look at the url address bar at the top of your browser and it will look like
http://www.mysite.com/post.php?post=2922&action=edit
so 2922 would be the forum number” – Robin W (Moderator)
Source: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-show-topics-from-every-forum-when-using-bbp-forum-index/
I was wondering where can I find the forum ID’s? Trying to use the single forum shortcode, but dunno where the ID’s are. (Wish they were listed in Forum > All Forums via a ID column).
I was able to locate bbp_single_user_details_avatar_size in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php which eventually lead me to the following function that accomplishes what I needed (resizing the avatar):
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);
Increase avatar size in bbpress
I’m hoping someone can help with locating “post_author_avatar_link” for me as well. I suspect the bbpress structure has changed since this answer was provided because I’m unable to locate the folders mentioned.
Thanks in advance.
Just to update: I no longer think it was the BBpress update causing my issue, so you can pass me up for now, I will investigate a bit further. thank you.
Thanks for your answer Stephen.
Well, indeed, I got the plugin from WPML (I asked really nicely 🙂 … their support is very good anyway).
I am in contact with them now.
Strange thing is that they use the same combo on their site : WPML + BBpress + BBpress-Multilingual plugin. It works fine.
Two days ago i had an update showing for BBpress, and after I updated my forum page stopped showing. I can get to some of the forums via the ‘recent replies and topics’ on the sidebar, but when clicking on the FORUM link from my main menu, this is all that is showing.
Warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in /home/content/p3nexnas05_data01/83/2102083/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1344
WP Version – Version 3.9.1
BBpress Version – Version 2.5.4
ok try
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
As soon as you’ve got the site vaguely going again, you need to STOP !!!! YES STOP!!!!!!!!!!
Then take a breath, and create a test site – you cannot continue to develop your site in live, and you need a child theme. So you’ll need to read.
Functions files and child themes – explained !
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
Once you have a test site, you can change things there first and then when you are happy put it into live.
