[Asynaptic]

I’m a bit baffled as to why this 3 month old ticket is sitting here all lonely:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2498

bbPress.org and buddypress.org both have this functionality so the devs already have this one figured out. Right?

There’s also this plugin which provides the same functionality:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

which can be integrated into core following the wordpress development model of features as plugins.

Unless I’m off my rocker again, and missing something… in which case please take pity on me and set me straight!

[Halo Diehard]

Yes, it is possible, this is a bbPress forum: http://www.halodiehards.net/hd-forums/

(Edit: Courtesy of @lynq’s work in discovering the layouts – thank you lynq!!)

[Halo Diehard]

I’ve been working really hard on getting this up and running for a loooooong time, needed to convert it from phpbb3 so users were integrated. Been playing with the css and getting it mobile ready, integrating it with BuddyPress and such. Still got some bugs to work out, but I saw this section and figured it was time to share what’s possible. This is using the Custom Community theme, modified with css in a child theme of my design.

http://www.halodiehards.net/forums (if the link doesn’t work, I’ve changed the url from ‘hd-forums’ to ‘forums’)

Edit: I designed it using @lynq’s work found here – http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-have-created-a-bbpress-starter-theme-with-a-phpbb-look-and-feel/

[Halo Diehard]

Done! I see on there that bbPress may be integrating a way to view unread posts someday – – that would be AWESOME!! (I know there are plugins, but do you know how many plugins I’m using to get my bbPress to behave like a normal forum? O.o) Thanks for your continued support!

[Halo Diehard]

Hey guys, I’m going to be changing the bbPress editor color scheme to work with a dark theme, and I’d like to know where the correct place is to do this? Where is the original css for the editor? Where would I put the “child” css? (if it’s different than the css folder in my theme)

I’ve been searching the forums, ‘net and files and can’t find it, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m using the most recent versions of WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress.

Hi, i have recently been put in charge of fixing a website and i wanted to add a forum, bbpress seems perfect. So i get to installation, it goes through fine. But after installation, there is nothing that shows that i have it installed, the only indication is that is in my installed plugins. There is no place were i can insert the forum into my site or even view any options for it… Please help 🙂
I am using v. 3.8.1 wordpress and bbPress v. 2.5.3

[carterlongbeach]

Hi. I’d like to automatically include a hyperlink to users’ groups (Buddypress) or a custom profile field (BBpress) in all of their topic and response posts in forums. It would be something like a signature, but would be automatic, not a choice.

Any suggestions? I’m not a coder.

I’ve searched support and plugins to no avail. Thanks.

Running WP Version 3.8.2 , BP Version 1.9.2, BBpress Version 2.5.3

Hello,

I’m working on re configuring an existing site that has a WP blog and a BBPress forum. One of the changes I’m doing, is making replacing our existing CMS with WordPress. I’ve changed permalinks to ‘Post name’, great.

The problem come in now that I’m trying to create a new WordPress page with the name ‘page_name’ with the url “http://www.mysite.com/page_name” however, there is a forum with the name ‘page_name’ already with a url of ‘http://www.mysite.com/forums/forum/page_name’ that seems to be consuming the permalink that I am trying to set for the page.

Is there anyway to configure BBPress to not consume the ‘/page_name’ permalink when it’s URL is ‘/forums/forum/page_name’

[mlocke90]

I would like the ability to make topics in a certain forum only visible by their author and the moderators.

I have been messing around with;
http://wordpress.org/plugins/members
http://www.tehnik-design.com/tehnik-bbpress-forum-permissions

but cant seem to get them to function properly for topics. If anyone knows a way to do this I would love to know.

Hi,

I think I have some theme compatibility issues with my freshly installed bbPress. I’ve just installed bbPress to my new WordPress site, and when I’m trying to open the forum index page, it will show only a mostly blank page with my theme’s top menu. However, the title of the page and the body part of the HTML source seems to be OK – my body tag looks like this:

<body class="forum bbpress single single-forum postid-30 logged-in admin-bar no-customize-support">

I’ve tried to use [bbp-forum-index] shortcode in a page, and it shows the index, but of course I can’t use the forum in this way neither, since if I try to navigate to one of my forum topics, it will also show the blank page.

I’m using Academica theme (the free one), but I’ve found a solution for an other theme (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/) and it seems that fixing my issue would evoke some PHP coding, which I’m not so familiar with. So if you have some tips or solutions, share with me, I’d be very thankful. 🙂

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Ohh, and here is the link to my only forum: http://homeschooling.hu/?forum=probaforum
…and to the page with the shortcode: http://homeschooling.hu/?p=38

[hscoder]

I know this is old thread. But my reply can be useful for the others.

You can change the font-size in your bbpress forum through editing your bbpress.css like as :

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
font-size: 14px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid #eee;
margin-bottom: 20px;
clear: both;
}

In this article writer is explaining step by step. See this:

How to increase the font-size of the content in bbpress forums

thanks

[leopolds]

Hi,

I have just installed bbpress on my site, which is using the latest Twenty Fourteen child theme (only some simple css modifications.)

I want the forum listing page http://leopolds.com/discussions/ to look like this http://leopolds.com/bbs/ (created using shortcode).

There should be:

– No right-hand sidebar and centered content. I created a bbpress.php in my child theme folder and copied the full-width page template code to it. But it still looks different. Contents are not centered.

– No post-like forum listing. All forums I created are displayed under the usual forum listing section like posts.

Please help. Thank you very much.

probably a conflict

Check other plugins

Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

Turn off all other plugins apart from bbpress, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

Check themes

If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

[Robin W]

This is all set in your theme’s page templates.

You can copy one of these and rename it bbpress.php and put it into the root of your theme.

bbpress will then use that one, and you can delete the sidebar from the bbpress.php

come back if you need further help

[Robin W]

nothing bad in doing that

as bbpress has different custom post types for topic and reply, you could also link to the action bbp_theme_after_reply_content action and put a topic condition on
something like

function display_after_topic() {
	if( get_post_type() == 'topic') {
	$text="hello mother" ;
	echo $text;
	}
	else {
	return ;
	}
}

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_content', 'display_after_topic') ;

[varma]

Ok.. so i found out a way to do it while checking the bbpress functions.

You can enable the bbpress show lead topic using this function

bbp_show_lead_topic

and then easily add any code to the content-single-topic-lead to display anything after the first post in a thread.

Is there bad side doing this?

[varma]

+1 on this.. I also want the same. 25+ nested replies are showing in one page, that’s bad.
Hope bbpress support will release a fix for this soon.

Hi there.
I have installed BBPress.
But I want to: Remove the sidebar
The calling code is a sidebar (plug-ins) in the footer template
How can I remove only the sidebar, but keep the footer (with counters)?
I can remove the sidebar, but remove all counters calling code (including the footer, too)

Hi

I would like to insert a custom code or eco a shortcode after the first post in a topic. ( or say adsense after first posts)

I have tried to implement this – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/displaying-adsense-ads/

But seems to be not working correctly.

When posting the code in loop-sing-reply, its getting showing below all replies.

Anyway to show only after the first posts.

Hope to get an help soon.

[Karretto]

Hey!

When I have bbPress activated and want to go to the plugin overview, the whole page appears white. So nothing is there.

Reinstalled it, still the same error.

Any idea what could make that problem?

[Robin W]

I am writing a bbpress specific solution at the moment – hope to publish in the new few weeks

[Robin W]

ok, add this in

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #000000;
}

and then come back with any others

[Mycelus]

Why is there only like 10 options for the bbPress editor..?

Where do I change the color of font or the size or underscore, etc etc…

[Robin W]

ok, you have several routes to go

If you think you will be making other changes, then it may be worth you reading this

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

but if you just want to get this going then download this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

and then put this code into it

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
color: blue !important ;
}

a:link {
color: blue !important ;
}

Obviously you can change the blue to whatever, or use hex codes to get any shade you like

Come back if that doesn’t work, and I’ll try to help further
