Which tends to suggest that you are having the issue rather than that the codex doesn’t work !

css is loaded at various times, and changes can be overwritten by later loads.

Try putting ‘!important’ after a few to see if that helps, if so then apply to all. This tells the code not to apply later changes.

eg

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
 background: #eaeaea !important;
 }

Hello,

I am using a page called forums and the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] but the sidebars do not appearance.

I have located the page_sidebar.php and copy in the theme directory as bbpress.php.

How can I to select the page sidebar? Actually the space to sidebars is reserved but the sidebars do not appears. Click in any discussion to check it out.

Thanks in advance

This is not a bbPress issue, bbPress only uses the standard WordPress avatars.

Check out the FAQ and/or support forum for the plugin you are using that let’s users upload their own avatar.

The WordPress language pack for zh_CH includes the following code:
https://i18n.trac.wordpress.org/browser/zh_CN/tags/3.8.1/dist/wp-content/languages/zh_CN.php#L84

83	/**
84	 * Youku wp_embed handler

86	 * Embed code last updated:

89	 * Feel free to submit or correct URL formats here:

93	 */
94	function wp_embed_handler_youku( $matches, $attr, $url, $rawattr ) {
95	        $embed = sprintf(
96	                '<embed src="http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/%1$s/v.swf" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" width="480" height="400" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>',
97	                esc_attr( $matches['video_id'] ) );
98	
99	        return apply_filters( 'embed_youku', $embed, $matches, $attr, $url, $rawattr );
100	}
101	wp_embed_register_handler( 'youku',
102	        '#https?://v\.youku\.com/v_show/id_(?<video_id>[a-z0-9_=\-]+)#i',
103	        'wp_embed_handler_youku' );

So as you should be able to have this in WordPress posts and pages etc that ‘should’ flow on down to bbPress to allow you to use youku 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Hi 🙂

bbPress follows WordPress list here https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

Oh…. Look… You should be able to 🙂

Are you running WordPress with define('WPLANG', 'zh_CH'); in your wp-config.php?

[Stephen Edgar]

WordPress can only have one page titled page_name and use the slug page_name thus this then extends to bbPress.

I thought we had a bbPress ticket for this on Trac but I can’t find it right now https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org

[Stephen Edgar]

Probably you should use http://chamabox.co.ke/forums/feed and http://chamabox.co.ke/topics/feed, any bbPress page, section, forum topic, just add /feed to the end of the URL and you should be good to go.

That said, I see the feeds are broken, it looks like either the ‘wdsi-slide_in’ or ‘mailchimp’ plugins are injecting content into bbPress’ RSS feeds. What happens with these plugins disabled?

[Stephen Edgar]

There are a few bbPress signature plugins, maybe one of these will do what you are looking for
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=signature+bbpress

[Stephen Edgar]

It shouldn’t have done that 🙁

I’d suggest going to ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ and resetting your forums which will delete all forums, topics and replies and optionally imported users and have another go at it.

You would probably be best setting up a test install of WordPress and bbPress to make sure the import finishes successfully.

If you find it keeps doing this please create a support ticket in Trac and I’ll take a look at why it isn’t working. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

Here is another way to do custom profile fields:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/user_contactmethods

bbPress will display any of of these fields you add or remove for a users profile page, as many of few as you like.

[Stephen Edgar]

If when you decide to come back to this you’ll want to use the_excerpt

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

There are varios examples scattered throught this site also

https://bbpress.org/forums/search/the_excerpt/

[Stephen Edgar]

There are a couple of weird things happen with bbPress and setting them to ‘private’ from the backend, we just haven’t tested it thoroughly enough.

There is a ticket on Trac somewhere, can’t find it at the moment though 🙁 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org

There is also a plugin that gives each user their own forum that no other users can see, I am not sure if moderators have access to this forum or just the user and the keymaster.

The name of that plugin? I have no idea, I can’t remember the name of it, what I do remember is that this feature has nothing to do with the name of the plugin nor is the feature even included in the description. It is an idea not fully implemented and approx 75% of the code is just sitting in the background doing nothing. So if I remember what it is I’ll come back and update this. 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

There are a few plugins that offer this functionality: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress+subscribe

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for sharing your code and and yes some more docs on this would be great.

Anyone can add docs to the bbPress codex https://codex.bbpress.org/

You just need to login with the same username and password you use here on bbpress.org

https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-login.php

Have a look at the current pages and or create a new page

https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page

This cannot be achieved at this stage with bbPress, the only option is to ‘Opt-In’ and there is no availability to have the defaults the other way around.

Is there any chance of this being changed at some time? Perhaps as a config option? Being subscribed by default is the most requested feature by users on my forum.

[Robin W]

Not a buddypress expert, but suggest you try with all plugins except bbpress and BP deactivated. If that fixes, re-enable one at a time to find the problem.

If plugins doesn’t fix, switch to a default forum such as twentytwelve, and test again.

Come back and let us know if any of that helped.

[Robin W]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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.

try

bbPress Styling Crib

for starters

[chimerapro]

Hello, ive been trying to figure out exactly what i need to do to make bbpress match the theme on afewunited.com check under community page and you can see it can anyone help me solve this issue? im new to all this css/html5 stuff.

[Robin W]

you can’t – wordpress and bbpress use a language called php to create the html code, so this code does not appear anywhere, it is made up of lots of function and css calls.

Sorry !

[Adonismoet1608]

theme: Analytical Lite
the latest version of wordpress and bbpress

my font,background, and reply background is white
so all text is hidden.

i have tried applying the codes from styling crib into my theme css but it still dosent work.

I installed the most recent bbpress version. Everything went well, except for the inline moderation tools: delete, split, close, … When you click one, the pages reloads, but nothing happens.

URL: http://tinyurl.com/pchoupn

Any idea’s?
Thanks in advance!

[Robin W]

yes, but you’d need some php, so depends what you mean by ‘I don’t really know PHP’

the plugin bbp-last-post plays with code in this area, so take a look at that

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-last-post/

and look at

bbpress/includes/common/wdgets.php for how to put a title in
