How’s it going Stephen?

The “bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab” plugin was malfunctioning so I disabled it and followed the link you posted above and the solution worked in that it enabled the WYSIWYG editor in the forums but I had other issues that I was hoping it would have solved but it didn’t. Rich text copied and pasted in Internet Explorer get’s converted to and posted as raw HTML. Is I’ve tried switching themes to see if it’s a theme issue but it’s not.

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix available for this?

Please advise me…your help is appreciated.

I am using wordpress 3.9.1, buddypress 2.0.1, and bbpress 2.5.3. I am using child themes. I cannot change the css for bbp-reply-content without changing bbp-topic-content. Around line 315 in bbpress.css, if I change something for bbp-reply-content, that changes the reply and topic content. For example, in the below changes nothing happens. I have background color set to white, and the background for repy-content is commented out. If I comment out topic-content and use the background change for reply-content, then all topic content and reply content will have a white background. I would like to be able to change the background on the reply content and NOT on the topic content. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content{
  margin-left: 130px;
	padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
	text-align: left;
  background-color: white;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
	margin-left: 130px;
	padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
	text-align: left;
  /*border:5px solid red;*/
  /*border: 11px ridge #7D573A;*/
  /*background-color: white;*/
}

This might be a preposterous question, but I’m going to try asking anyway.

So I’m trying to get bbPress to send out emails when a new reply has been posted in a topic. This feature appears to work fine when the subscribed members have yahoo or hotmail, etc addresses. When a member with my school’s .edu address subscribes, no email notifications are received. Nothing in junk or spam filters either. I figure it must be getting caught in some other spam filter/firewall I don’t have access to. Regardless, a majority of users on the site I am working on will be users in educational settings (IE, Profs, Drs, and students), and I’m afraid that since my school’s filter is catching these notification emails, other users on my site will also not be able to receive notification emails.

Is there any way I can make the notification emails “less spammy” or something? Something to make it less likely to get caught by spam filters?

I know it’s got nothing to do with the .edu extension. I managed to send it to a friend’s .edu email from a different university. I picked up this project part-way through, but I am pretty sure no code changes have been made to the plugin.

It will almost certainly be your theme.

I had a quick look but couldn’t work out quite what it was doing at that point.

Since I think you have the scope theme, maybe check on their support forum, as have paid for support and access.

http://www.themezilla.com/support/forum/wordpress-themes/scope/

and search for bbpress as a start – there may well be a simple solution.

If not then put a support topic on their site, and come back and tell us what they said

If i push “reply” on any post then default reply form push my post directly under that post. If i don’t push “reply” on any post then default reply form behaves as if I pressed the answer under the first post in the topic. Is it possible to change this behavior? I need this – if i don’t push “reply” then my post appears last in topic as if i pressed the answer to the last post of the topic.

ok, so we’re back to setting the default template that bbpress uses, but this time to one with a sidebar

possibly a conflict

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.

I just started using BBPress as a private forum on my site.

Whenever someone posts, all the topics inside of that Forum have their freshness update:

Can anyone offer assistance one why this is happening? Thanks!

Hello,

I am using the latest BuddyPress with the bbpress forums. For some reason on my forums page my images and margins are out of whack. I didn’t do anything different to them. You can see here http://www.passingrass.com/forums/ Ive tried re-sizing them and it didn’t help. I also tried to re-install them.

Any advice would help. Thanks.

[jeremyers1]

Do I need to do anything to get WangGuard to work with bbpress, or do I just install it, get the API key, and let it go?

[giantqtipz]

hi guys,

new to the forum here. I installed bbpress on my site, but the layout is completely messy.

the forum on my site is http://redwhiterocket.com/?page_id=4

any tips and inputs on how to fix the layout?

[Stephen Edgar]

We actually pull the list of plugins using the WordPress plugin API, the good thing is that the plugin API is getting some updates this week so we should be able to include some of those enhancements into our plugin list https://bbpress.org/plugins

[yoosuke]

Wow! At last!

I could solve all problems of mine!
It is thanks to you, Mr Robin W!

Well, yesterday I came up with new ideas.
And I tried, but It’s too hard for me to make it.

So, Would you please advice me one more time?

I’ve made ​​a new topic.(here)

many thanks…

[yoosuke]

I’m looking for advice on how to display day of the week at “reply-post-date”.

In topic pages, “at” is used in the display of posting date. like…

2014/05/28 at(←here!) 00:21

I want to replace the display from “at” to “(Sun)”.
In other words, I want to display a day of the week of posting time.

I tried many times by using PHP function “preg_replace”.
However, it was too difficult for me. Code that I made ​​is as bellow.

function change_reply_post_date($output) {
$output = preg_replace( '/at/' , "<?php echo get_post_time('D'); ?>" , $output );
return $output;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_post_date' , 'change_reply_post_date');

In this case, it did not result in an error.
However, “at” disappeared.

What should I do?
Would you please advice me?

WordPress: ver3.9.1
bbPress: ver2.5.3

[Robin W]

you could try adding the following to your functions file

add_filter( 'd4p_is_bbpress', '__return_true' );

or seeing if your theme or other plugins are affecting

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.

[Robin W]

Can you just eliminate theem or plugin issues, this should show descriptions (content) on the category pages.

I presume you have read the

I have already activated gd bbpress attachments, but nothing changed. Is there anything in settings I don’t understand?

[Robin W]

yes that’s the way it is supposed to work – try the plugin

[Aezaz Shaikh]

Okay understood. But how will i assign forums to course ? Sorry for my bad question but i am totally new in bbpress.

Thank you 🙂

[Jerry]

Okay, got it working! Thanks much for your help. One note: I had to change “if ($countr !=0)” to “if ($countr > 1)” to get the result I wanted. Evidently, bbpress is considering the first topic author as the first reply author. Strange, but whatever; it now works. Thanks again!

[Evan Herman]

Unfortunately I missed the survey.

I would love to see attachments and resolved/unresolved tagging. I heavily use bbpress for support forums with a few of my plugins, and have to install 2 or even 3 plugins to get it where I need it to be for a support forum.

I would love to see a module of sorts added to bbpress code that enables support forum features.

[Aezaz Shaikh]

Hi

Forgot course post type point. I just want separate discussion board for each course.

I installed bbpress crated forum and topics but can’t figure out how i create separate discussion board for each course?

[Hymer]

I test BBPress forum in http://varosvedo.hu/forums/forum/kozter/ and I see that the forum visitors have no possibilities to attach images or other files. If I am inlogged as admin, I can attach media, but I have access to all the media in the homesite.
