Hello Forum,
My bbPress forum is displaying all of the replies instead of showing just a few replies per page.

WHAT I WANT: I’m trying to set up a single-topic forum on my website on this page (http://learn.serve-smart.com/topic/the-secret-to-service-reflection-learner/). Right now I’m using this short code: [bbp-single-topic id=2073]. I want users to get a prompt, see the responses of three or so other users, and respond to the prompt themselves.

WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW: The page is displaying every single reply to the topic on a single page. This is despite changing the bbPress settings to “3” for “Topics per page” and “Replies per page” under the “Topics and Replies Per Page” and Topics and Replies Per RSS Page.”

WHAT I’M RUNNING:
Database: Latest WP
Theme: WP-Forge
Key Plugins: Latest bbPress plugin, Latest LearnDash plugin

Thanks in advance for your help!
-Ryan

The Remember Me area of the Sidebar is wrapping onto 2 lines. I’m not sure how to fix this. I’m using the Divi Theme (Elegant Themes). Do I have to edit CSS within my template or within BBpress files? I tried to find the CSS using Firebug but wasn’t successful.

I’m having some issues converting an SMF forum to BBPress. The SMF forum has about 7,500 members, 7000+ topics and 45,000+ replies.

It seems the links to images are not being imported, my guess it is a problem with the [img] bbcode? But not sure.
I understand that I won’t be able to get attached images imported but i would think that linked images would not be a problem.

Also some of the posts are being truncated. I might get the first sentence but the rest is dropped. But not on all of them.

I tired slowing the import down to 50 items at a time with a 2 second pause but still same results.

I’m on a dedicated server. Latest bbpress version, and SMF version is 2.0.4

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

maybe a theme or plugin conflict

try

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.

Have you tried

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

In essence you need a .php from your theme that has a sidebar, and rename this bbpress.php within the root of your theme.

Hello,

My sidebar is missing with my newly installed Striking MultiFlex theme. I’ve tried many of the solutions from this board, but none have worked.

These did not work:
http://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

http://bpsocialnetwork.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/twenty-eleven-theme-compatibility/
I think Step 3 is missing a ‘)’, but I don’t know where to put it.

Any ideas on how to make my sidebars appear on all of my bbpress pages? My site is in maintenance mode, so I can’t post a link.

Thanks,
Matt

Ok, here is a very simple answer to a very simple question.

Inside of your website admin area under appearance is a place to put custom CSS called Edit CSS.

At the bottom of whatever else is in there add the following code:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p, #bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {font-size: 16px;}

That will make the font 16 pt. if you want it some other size then change the number.

This turned out to be a clash with the admin-message plugin (wpmudev.org).
If I comment out the include_once statement at the very bottom of admin-message.php, which pulls in all the spammy advertising stuff WPMU put into your admin pages, the forum menus reappear.

As this issue seems to occur with quite a few plugins, it might be useful to draw up a list of plugins which cause compatibility issues with bbPress.

If you know of any please comment in this thread.

Hi,

I have recently installed bbpress. I have created a single forum called ‘Talk’.

When users register, I have set their status to automatically reflect them as ‘participants’. According to bbPress, Participants should be able to, reply to as well as create new topics.

However when registering and logging in on my bbPress page, newly registered users/participants are not able to create new topics; they can only reply to already existing ones which I have created as admin.

Can anyone point out why this may be the case?

Thanks!

[batmanfan]

It’s GD bbPress Tools plugin, and yes it’s the WP 3.9 update issue. GD will update their plugin today.

[batmanfan]

Has anyone used this plugin and successfully set up? I tried with no success 🙁 Is it compatible with bbpress forum? Thanks

[janfeng]

I want wordpress = post_name
and bbpress = post_id

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress does not include support for attachments ‘out of the box’

If you are using an attachment plugin for bbPress contact the author of that plugin.

[Stephen Edgar]

You can select from various default avatars included with WordPress in the WordPress Dashboard -. Settings -> Discussion (/wp-admin/options-discussion.php)

Or look at adding one of the many avatar plugins:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar and/or https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=avatar+bbpress

I don’t mind editing core files if that is what needs to be done.

This should never be done, when WordPress or bbPress has an update you will lose the changes you made.

[DietPipsi]

Hello. I would like to know if there is a plugin or work-around to have a folder or drop-down list of folders to choose from a listing of pre-uploaded avatars, similar to other forum softwares.

I do not want users to use gravatar, twitter or upload their own avatars. I just want a listing from the folder on my website. However, I am having trouble finding a plugin or tutorial on how to do this.

I apologize if what I am asking for is something simple to do, because I am completely new to wordpress and bbpress (I came over from phpbb). I don’t mind editing core files if that is what needs to be done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Stephen Edgar]

I created a fix for this a few weeks ago, details are here.

[jbdizzle]

I even completely removed bbpress and re installed…. this is frustrating…

[tharsheblows]

Oh good! Glad it’s all going well now.

Ha – I just got a “slow down; you move too fast” posting error. Trust me bbpress.org website, I’m human.

I just moved @conundrum89 reply to it’s own topic:

Plugin: bbPress Go To First Unread Post

== Description ==

bbPress Go To First Unread Post is a literally named plugin that allows registered users to jump to the first Reply in a Topic that they haven’t viewed yet. This gives your bbPress forum the simple and expected functionality of non-WordPress counterparts like phpBB, without a lot of coding.

First, you activate the plugin on a blog that already has the bbPress plugin enabled. This is all you need to do to activate the basic functionality of the plugin, which includes:

* Automatic tracking of last reply viewed, per topic per user.
* Link next to the title of a topic if the user has unread posts (between the title and pagination)

The plugin also includes two template tags for extra functionality:

* Mark Topics as Read link
* Mark Forum as Read link

Here it is!

I hope this suits your needs, guys. If there’s something that doesn’t work or you’d like added, you can let me know here or send me an email through the Plugin page.

Please consider donating if you enjoy it! 🙂

I am having a strange issue. Newly created forum posts can not be ready because the path to that post is incorrect / not complete.
My main forum address is /support/forums/
Within that, there are a number of forums that point to: /forums/forum/forumname (for some reason, the /support/ is dropped).

When you go into a forum, you can see the posts list. The first post is called “Welcome”. When you click on the post to see content, BBPress takes you to the following URL:
/support/forums/topic/welcome/

The forum name is left off the URL, so the page is not found. Has this happened to anyone? Any idea how to fix it?

[Hardeep Asrani]

@tharsheblows That’s not only. I have also submitted a ticket to add this in core & fortunately, it will be the part of the next bbPress release: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2519

‘I am using bbpress forum for Members Only’

do you mean

Add bbPress Members Only Forums to Your WordPress Membership Site

or another plugin?
