Hello, when we click favorite or subscribe button on a topic, it doesn’t work and show a window with “undefined” . But right click and “open new window” works.
when replacing the bbpress theme with the basic one, it does work. But when I install the starter pack https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-have-created-a-bbpress-starter-theme-with-a-phpbb-look-and-feel/ buttons dont work anymore and are showing “undefined”
Any ideas which file can be causing this? :/
Thanks
Hello @robin-w thank you for your answer 🙂
Errr personnaly I think I have found the culprit… when replacing the bbpress theme with the basic one, it does work. But when I install the starter pack https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-have-created-a-bbpress-starter-theme-with-a-phpbb-look-and-feel/ buttons dont work anymore and are showing “undefined”
Any ideas which file can be causing this? :/
Thanks
To fix the ‘subscribe’ link add this to your themes functions.php file or your bbpress-functions.php file in your theme directory.
To change from Home › Forums › My ForumSubscribe
To change to Home › Forums › My Forum (Subscribe)
function ntwb_forum_subscription_link( $args ) {
$args['before'] = ' (';
$args['after'] = ')';
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args', 'ntwb_forum_subscription_link' );
If you don’t want to add it manually add it to your functions.php file grab the entire file here and add it as a standalone plugin to your WordPress install.

I’m not sure/clear what you mean for your ‘freshness’ issue, can you post a screenshot or link to your site please 🙂
Hey, I’m a total newbie. No real experience of CSS or PHP, stuck for what to do. I’m using the Mantra theme, and it’s absolutely fantastic, but the forums don’t display quite right. The ‘subscribe’ button for subscribing to specific forums is right next to the forum title, without any spacing (“Home > Forums > GeneralSubscribe”)
Also, the ‘freshness’ title is displayed just below and to the right of the topic title, with time of post below both ‘voices’ and ‘posts’. Would provide link but constantly changing site to try and fix.
If I change theme it works, so it must be a theme issue, but I could really do with sticking with Mantra. For the level of customisation it’s very easy for me to use.
Thank you 🙂
That actually appearing from your themes template and not bbPress’ templates.
If you open up your page.php template of your theme (Or whatever the primary temmplate is) you will see something similar to this code:
<div class="entry-author-meta">
<p class="author-name">Published by
<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="#" title="#">#</a></span>
</p>
<p class="author-description">
</p>
</div>
Now make a copy of your page.php template (or again the main template your theme uses) and rename the this to bbpress.php open up the bbpress.php in a text editor and remove the section of code that I listed above.
bbPress will now use this template rather that your themes default template.
Thanks for the thread. Based on this I managed to develop a solution that does not require hassling with the template files. Just add this to function.php in your theme:
/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
}
}
I have created a child theme to my Twenty Eleven theme and it is active. But when I want to do changes by inserting code right under the code sector that ends with:
……
@import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”);
it does not take action.
For instance, I want to change the font size in a bbPress forum by putting in:
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-info .bbp-forum-content,
#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta {
font-size: 18px;
margin: 5px 0 5px;
padding: 0;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
but nothing happens.
What is wrong?
I’m going to close this topic as it is not going to be helpful for anyone.
@mycelus Feel free to open new topics though try to keep each topic not so broad a scope i.e. wanting to know how to change everything at once etc, break it down in parts and search for the site to see what others have done.
Eg. To change the way the forums are listed use this snippet shown here.
Most of all choose your words carefully to not offend or insult others rather than some the terminology you used in your screenshot above and your follow up post. There is no need to make any of this personal, nor will personal attacks on anyone be tolerated.
@mycelus – if you stopped attacking those that are trying to help you, you might get further.
You need to make a choice – stick with bbPress and start ASKING for help, or go elsewhere – your choice ! 🙂
Hi,
I’m quite new to bbpress and trying to set up a forum. Now there’s a problem, the forum description is only shown at the single forum pages (after I edited the code using the bbpress documentation), but it’s not shown on the main forum index page, although the documentation says it has to be.
Look for yourself, but please be nice, it’s still under construction and looks like a mess:
http://www.thespiritualpath.de
Could anyone help me please? I’m able to alter code if I have a template, but I’m not a programmer, so please try to explain what to do for beginners. 😉
I forgot to mention, category descriptions are shown, but not forum descriptions.
Thanks in advance.
Hey Robin,
I add the line in this php file location
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.php
// Participant/Default
case bbp_get_participant_role() :
default :
$caps = array(
// Primary caps
'spectate' => true,
'participate' => true,
// Forum caps
'read_private_forums' => true,
// Topic caps
'publish_topics' => true,
'delete_topics' => true,
'edit_topics' => true,
// Reply caps
'publish_replies' => true,
'edit_replies' => true,
// Topic tag caps
'assign_topic_tags' => true,
);
break;
}
In this case the delete_topic does not work,
if i put delete_others_topics there it will work for all users.
“And I agree, this is not because YOU don’t like bbpress the way it is, that EVERYONE do, it is not true. Some people like it this way because it is simple.”
what? you agree with what? that sentence made no sense to me.
Im in the process of getting my subdomain set up with my host. Waiting on them to try the starter pack.
Hi,
The Starter pack https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs (by Lynk = https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-have-created-a-bbpress-starter-theme-with-a-phpbb-look-and-feel/) does exactly all that you want. I see you posted on this topic, did you try it?
It turns basic bbpress to this for example: http://teamoverpowered.com/forums/
And I agree, this is not because YOU don’t like bbpress the way it is, that EVERYONE do, it is not true. Some people like it this way because it is simple.
I have looked through both pages you listed multiple times. They show you simple things like turning things on/off, or changing how it displays. It doesn’t actually look any better.
I’m not hurling abuse, Im just sick of hearing “this is how bbPress” is.
Im saying, bbPress’ structure makes no sense. Just because it’s free, doesn’t mean it’s ok for the structure to look god awful. It’s fantastic software, it just needs restructuring, you can see this by all the people here and around the web that are trying to figure out how to make it look right.
I think you need to seriously consider taking some anger management classes.
bbPress is free, it costs you nothing, is developed and maintained by a bunch of nice guys who do this for free, and is supported on this site by more nice guys who again do it for free.
If you cared to read to documentation instead of just hurling abuse at us, you’d find fixes or tools that would let you alter what you are complaining about for instance the inline list is discussed in
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
and turning off the counts in
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
Because bbPress is flexible and all of what is displayed can be altered with either a little php or in many cases a plugin.
However in your case I’d simply suggest that you find different forum software and annoy someone else, rather than whinging on this support forum.
@magic-komplex You can find the latest German translations for bbPress here (Both ‘de’ and ‘de formal’)
Hi,
I just installed the latest version of bbpress and now I’m searching for German language files for this version. The latest version I could find was 2.0 or 2.1, but that one didn’t work, actually there’s nothing translated at all, except from some parts within the backend.
I just need a translation for the front end, cause most of my users don’t speak English, I’m fine with English within the backend.
Any help would be highly appreciated and sorry if this is the incorrect forum for this request.
Hi,
Title says it all really. I am trying to customise the recent topics widget; using it to display topics from a specific forum; and I would like the title to link to the forum from which the topics are from.
I have registered a sidebar for this in my functions.php file and I’ve tried the following code, but it doesnt work as its not adding the URL into the title:
register_sidebar(
array(
'id' => 'forumcontent',
'name' => __( 'Forum Home Content - Colleges', 'textdomain' ),
'description' => __( 'A short description of the sidebar.', 'textdomain' ),
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget-topic-list %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '' . apply_filters( 'bbp_get_forum_permalink', get_permalink( $forum_id ) ) . '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3><a/> <br class="clear"/>'
)
);
I am trying to create something similar to this: http://postimg.org/image/55qwbgoe3/
I am currently editing the the bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php file directly which I know is a BIG NO NO! and I should create a custom widget for this, but I am not really sure how to!
I am currently using WordPress v3.6 and Bbpress v2.5.3
Thanks
I don’t CARE if bbPress is “made the WordPress way.”
bbPress is awesome, but the way it has been structured makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
You guys are missing CRITICAL forum features such as quoting, multi-quoting, signatures, and more, and NO plugins should not be filling this stuff in, the point is to integrate these necessary features into the software.
There is ONE plugin for quoting and it SUCKS, it literally sticks the post under a LINE, not in a nice blockquote separated like ANY other forum software would.
You guys have a bar that says “Forum”. What the HELL is that supposed to show the user??????????????? That’s where the category label would go, on any forums, there’s a reason all other forums do that. Do you see car manufacturers making 3 wheel cars because that’s “their way”? There’s a way to do things right. Making a stupid structure is not how you do things “your way.”
Everyone I have spoken to agrees with me. The forums on bbPress and WordPress sites for support are a freaking headache. You guys have everything just cluttered up to the right side, it’s such an eye sore even writing this post is giving me a headache.
Don’t tell me “it’s the WordPress way.” So sick of hearing that. People here have made it clear that the format for bbPress’ structure SUCKS. You guys cram every forum side to side inline, why?? WHY?
I am disagreeing with the “WordPress” way, and trying to figure out how to legitimately get this to be noted. I’ve posted it in bbPress Trac and it’s been just looked over.
Wow! On the front page of bbpress.org and everywhere we mention bbPress:
"bbPress is forum software, made the WordPress way."
bbPress is not like all other forums, it was not made to be like other forums, it was made the WordPress way allowing for customized functionality by plugins and/or themes.
So maybe you should post on http://jobs.wordpress.net/
since bbPress uses custom post types, it looks very likely that you have a conflict.
Have you tried the pods support site?
I’m using bbpress and also a plugin called Pods (for implementing custom post types)
The problem I’m having is that the “Forums” page in the admin shows only items of the “articles” custom post type, and not the actual forums. Is this type of conflict common? I haven’t altered the default post type of bbpress.
so when you are doing all this testing, has the w3 cache plugin been deactivated? and have you then cleared your browser?
As SE says working on say twentythirteen with just bbPress as a plugin works, so if this is not working for you, then you will need to look to your host provider for help.
WP 3.8.1 – SP 5.4.1 (but also isn’t working with 5.4, i just upgraded when trying to fix this) – BBP 2.5.3
I’m working on a duplicate copy of my wp db (I always do a test run before working on live site).
However I just noticed this error in my php logs:
“PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class bbcode in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/parser.php on line 979” while reading response header from upstream
So I think some other plugin (or maybe wp itself?) is declaring that class already. I’m going to debug this now.
I made the importer with SP v5.1.4 and every now and then upgrade to the latest just as I did earlier.
I’ve got nothing else that comes to mind at this minute, it’s quite late here so I’ll take a closer look in the morning.
A couple of things will help though, what versions of WordPress, bbPress and SimplePress are you using?
