bbPress Styling Crib
Thank you Stephen! Just noticed a typo on my part, fixed it and mostly everything imported perfectly. Just finding a few data anomalies (thanks to Lotus Notes…) but I should be able to fix them within BBPress. Thanks again for your support on these forums, I appreciate the good work you’ve put in.

@eduardosilva Thanks for the link. It worked for me too. This should be officially be added to bbPress plugin list, or someone should create an official plugin for this. It’s very useful when you have a support forum and need some automation when it comes to topic closing (and also don’t know any php to create it from scratch 🙂 ).
I’m using bbPress 2.5.3 on WordPress 3.8.1
Hi,
I’ve set up a bbPress forum on my WordPress installation. Thanks to Jetpack “widget visibility” feature, I’ve put the bbPress Login Widget on the Forum and Topic page types.
But I found no answer on how to display the Login Widget on the forum root. It’s kind of confusing for users who land on the forum root and can not see any registration link…
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your reply!
In fact we do not want the WP comment form to appear, but it was just a trial to see if we can do something with the social media postings.
If we leave that part, I mean WP comment form on bbpress page is not required.
But if I need the bbpress topics and replies as such to be posted by using social media accounts and shared on social media walls as well, what method do you suggest. Does bbpress provide support in this regard.
Thanks!

put this code into your style.css in your theme
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: #dc9e5a !important ;
}
You should select the color you want
Yes, bbPress uses the same system as WordPress, how to do that is explained here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Combating_Comment_Spam#Default_Comment_Spam_Tools
You can and should also enable and use the Akismet plugin.
It isn’t quite possible yet, comments are disabled by bbPress for bbPress pages.
That said, we are working on a ‘feature’ that will enable comments for parts of bbPress.
So it is possible, just a fair amount of work would be needed to integrate the comments in way you mention above.
Rather than post a comment though why not post a reply instead?
bbPress’ forums, topics and replies are WordPress custom post types so have a pretty good base to work with just like any WordPress custom post type.
Hi Robin,
In fact we were trying to figure out if it is possible to post in the bbpress forums via social media accounts.
ie Integrate the bbpress comment form (the place where we reply to the topics or create the topics) with social media, so that if I am logged into my google account, I can post in the topic through my google account using the same comment used by bbpress and this will get shared automatically in my google plus account as well.
This is different from social login which can be achieve with various plugins. Using the plugins for social logins we login with social media accounts and post but it does not automatically get shared on our social media wall.
I am not sure whether it is possible now. But if you have any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks!

Hi friends-
I’ve been using iframes to embed pages on my blog from time to time and not only do I not love the look, but I’ve recently noticed some conversations about some sites having objections to this application.
Does anyone know if there’s code I can use on my WP blog that looks like the FB page links, where it shows a relevant image from the page and the article headline?
Just to be clear, this is for use on my WP bbPress blog, using an OptimizePress theme – not for a Facebook page… I asked on another forum and had no luck.
Thanks in advance – grateful for your wisdom and experience!

Ok, most likely duplicating page.php would be the way to go, you may have to add what is also inside loop-page.php though looking at your other pages on your site these also don’t have a sidebar so again it’s hard to say exactly what is needed as I don’t have access to this theme as it is a commercial theme.
Did you post (and or look) on http://organicthemes.com/support/ to see if they have instructions on using bbPress with that theme?
Hello Stephen,
Thanks for the response!
Regarding how incomplete bbPress is: When a new user installs bbPress it’s very unclear how to actually get it functional.
Thanks for the page template advice. Notice how page-sidebar.php doesn’t exist?
I did duplicate sidebar-blog.php to see if that solved it, yet this is the result:
Absolutely nothing… it broke the forum apparently? 🙁
Within the forum page itself I can’t define a page template for it to adhere to:
I’m a new user of bbPress and I’d like users to be able to register themselves, that’s it! Is there any easy way to achieve this?

This is NOT a database issue, WordPress and bbPress use the same database.
This is a theme issue, visit the website of your theme and see if they have some tips on setting their theme up with bbPress.
Try creating a new user and giving them the WordPress ‘Administrator’ role and bbPress role ‘keymaster’ log out and log in with this new user and see what happens.
Hello Stephen,
I have installed bbpress forums on my website and it was working fine. Recently I made updates to a wordpress flip book plugin and also activated the Yoast SEO plugin. Not sure if they are related, but now I’m unable to create a new forum.
In the admin panel, I click on New forum, enter the title and some text and click Publish (Note: Type, status, and visibility are already populated). When I click ‘Publish’ nothing happens. The forum is not created.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Can you create a ticket on Trac for this and we can take a closer look:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
Add as much detail as you can including reproduction steps so that we can recreate the issue.
-”Recalculate the parent topic for each post” did nothing
The 3rd bit of code ‘Reply parent topic id (If no parent, then 0)’ will fix that.
-”Recalculate the parent forum for each post” set all of the Topics in Admin panel to “(No Forum)”, where before that was the only text that was actually displaying properly.
The last piece of code I posted above ‘Topic parent forum id’ will fix that.
It just seems strange that before I tried the tools it was properly mapping topics.forum_id to forums.forum_id to retrieve the forum title that was displayed in the Admin Topics page, and only on the Admin Topics page.
bbPress stores all sorts of extra ‘meta data’ in WordPress’ wp_postmeta table relating to each of bbPress’ custom post types. Essentially without the additions of the above bbPress only knows a partial set of the data it needs and as such when the repair tools are run it tries to repair all this data but if some key aspects of the data is missing, in this case post_parent it will end up with the results you are now seeing in the dashboard where each topic is not associated with a forum and each reply is not associated with a topic.
Clear as mud, hey? 😉 I’ve been here many times and am right now writing a BuddyPress importer update and am currently here again 😉
When I view the public Topic page, the forum is excluded in the breadcrumb.
The WordPress plugin page for bbPress redirects to this bbpress.org site.
Just post your questions here on this site and search for questions from other users to see if someone else has experienced the same issue.
So what is your question?
This is unrelated but seriously, how do I open a support ticket for bbpress forum plugin? I’ve gone to the core wordpress site and this site doesn’t give me an option to start a thread.
Please help.
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.
for admin see
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-wordpress-admin-bar-for-all-users-except-administrators/
toolbar is a wordpress level function, not bbpress so it depends on what wordpress level you have your moderators set to.
Ok so i guess im confused. i too want the forums to look more like the way it was mentioned above. where the category has the forums under it like this site. http://teamoverpowered.com/forums/
I see that bbpress creates or uses the pages forums to put its code there. im not a code master. can someone point me in the right direction? im not looking for the nice pictures, just a category as a header and the forums of that category below.
