In fact just done it

[Robin W]

That’s the way it works at the moment – it annoys me as well

You could use the plugin

WP Modal Login

This has a modal (popup) login that is happy for you to get it wrong.

It has a widget that you can use. it’s not a pretty in the widebar as the bbpress one, but smarter when it’s launched.

I have just started using this linked to a menu item, will be documenting how to do the latter when I get a moment.

Just wondering if I allowed my users to upload photographs, would it slow my site down? Not sure this is a BBPress question but – well it is kinda?

Ta,

You should be looking at the bbpress.css

Suggest you look for Topic and reply content and look at padding

[Karnifexx]

I’ve already run a full text search through all files includes in the bbpress plugin. No files contain a reference to ‘bbp_template_before_forums_loop’, except loop-forums.php where it is called from.

There’s some code in the documentation to add a Login/Logout to the menu

item 11.

I am documenting a ‘modal’ (popup) login to add in a few days.

While I appreciate your work, this is not a viable solution.

The fact that bbPress comes out of the box with a box that says “forum” makes no sense.

Any forums I’ve seen (IPB, XenForo, phpBB, etc etc etc) have boxes for each category, and then the forum names, not a box that says forum, then the categories, then the forums underneath, bbPress’ layout makes no sense and I am not looking to download a child theme and then have to customize it because I don’t currently possess enough CSS and WordPress knowledge to do so.

I am learning, Im not sitting around or anything, but bbPress should look like the other forum layouts because it’s current layout makes 0 sense.

Are there any repositories with some example images of how to go about styling bbPress? I don’t know if it’s just me but bbPress has been around for years if I’m not mistaken and there’s a surprising lack of documentation on it for how popular it is.

[Karnifexx]

bbpress has a large number of do_action() statements. I am familiar with this at the wordpress level but I am unable to locate where bbpress registers a large number of these actions. Specifically I would like to change the behaviour of:

do_action( ‘bbp_template_before_forums_loop’ );
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, everywhere, i mean everyone on every tutorial is mentioned, that you must install the plugin like this

1) Visit the WordPress Administration Screen and navigate to Plugins > Add New.
2) Search for bbPress
3) Locate the bbPress plugin and click install
4) Activate the plugin

But i dont want people to have to install it, i want the plugin to be allready integrated in my custom theme im building. But when i copied it to my plugin folder (in my custom theme folder, not the “wp-conetnt/plugins” !!), and i required it in my functions.php. after this, the web get stacked, it kills my browser, because there is hundreds of error messages:

Warning: ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /www/doc/domain/www/wp-content/themes/theme/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php on line 316

Warning: reset() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /www/doc/domain/www/wp-content/themes/theme/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php on line 321

………….

Does anybody know how to integrate it? it would be great if there is some tutorial. everywhere i find how to use it, or the 4 steps to install it by zip uploading.

thanks for help

Hi,

I’m trying to build a theme for my BBpress site and I would like to add a class to my body tag that changes depending on where the user is within the forum but only for within a forum area.

For instance… On my BBpress installation, if I have these forums:

• Green
• Red
• Blue
• Yellow

If the user view topics within the ‘Green’ forum/sub-forum it add the classname ‘green’ to the body tag i.e “<body class=”green”>” I would like it to use the Forum’s title that is set. Can somebody help?

Preferably the code to be in functions.php or header.php / bbpress theme files. I don’t want to hack the bbpress core files.

I want to do this so I can change the way it looks i.e background colour etc.

And the Homepage stays the same: <body> (with no classname unelss set within the header.php of the theme file.

Thanks

I just wanted you guys to know that this plugin/extension is fantastic. I was spending ages scouring the internet for a solution for the conversion of an old SMF forum to BBPress, and this was absolutely perfect.

Running Wp 3.8.1 and BBpress 2.5.3

[Darth]

Is there a simple way to re-order topics like you can Forums? At the least, I’d like to have older at the top/newer at the bottom.

After doing a lot of searching/research I am completely confused as to how to accomplish this. Thank you in advance!

I am using the latest WP 3.81 and bbpress 2.5.3

Hi there
Im just getting to grips with bbpress and Buddypress but I cannot see anywhere my users are able to logout? Is there a shortcode I can put in a separate page?
Very confused
Thank you

Hi,
I am setting up a community blogfarm using bbPress and S2member. All the forum menus are there but when I click any of them all I get is “page not found”. All the other settings seem to be okay. Any suggestions ? Can anyone help?

[gawakamy]

Hi, all.
I added bbpress forum in the Appearance menu. So the forums are showed as list view. There are featured pictures in each forums. What I would like to do is that the forum shows as grid view with thumbnail and title.
I have researched about it a lot, but was not able to find right answer. Need help.

[Robin W]

Think you probably need to crack open the plugin, and see where GD bbPress Attachments is adding a filter, and exactly what code it is using. You might then be able to mod this in your loop to re-strip it out.

[Robin W]

No problem. Just a quick thought, as I might be able to solve it a different way.

Are you using a page called forums and the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]

or did it just come sup in your menu when you installed it?

It’s Ok, neither is wrong, I just need to know which !

ie which in section 3 of the attached did you do

I’ve been all through everything I could think of in the wp directory and the bbpress directory looking for where the depth of the indent of the threaded replies is set, so I can change it a bit, to about half of what it presently is, hoping this is possible…

If someone could please point me to the right place it would be sooo great…

I am trying to figure out how to display User information such as Twitter, Website, etc in the bbPress user profile. Is this possible?

I’ve searched Google and cannot seem to find a solution. Thank you!

Hello!

I’m having an issue with bbPress 2.5.3, Slider Revolution 4.0.5, and Woocommerce 2.1.2. I contacted Slider Revolution, and they said they couldn’t figure out the issue and that I should contact my theme creator since their plugin came bundled with my theme, but the theme creator says it isn’t a theme issue, so I’m reaching out to bbPress since the Woocommerce help desk is down for the weekend in hopes I can at least get a leg up – even though it’s a pretty weird triple-plugin conflict.

1. When all plugins are activated, layer styles in Revolution Slider’s slide editor show a tiny white font in all the previews, but only generate default dark text.

2. When all plugins are activated, I cannot add a slider to a page where bbPress forums are active – it just doesn’t appear, even when I have disabled the theme’s default header, or tried to insert it via shortcodes or php. (Any other page and the slider loads fine)

3. When I deactivate bbPress and its associated plugins, the slider loads correctly because there is no forum on the page.

4. When bbPress and Woocommerce are both deactivated, everything works as it is supposed to in the editor as well.

Existing sliders on the website still load correctly – it’s just an issue of making new ones with a forum on the same page, and getting the editor to work. bbPress prevents a slider created in the Slider Revolution plugin from being published on a page with a forum, and Woocommerce messes up the editor.

Any help or ideas are appreciated. I’ve tried the troubleshooting options in the plugins and nothing seems to fix the issue. Thanks!

[Robin W]

The page you are using to display is a full width page.

Since you are using a child theme of twenty twelve, I presume you still have the default template which has a sidebar.

If so, then copy this file, and rename it to bbpress.php and put it into your theme’s root ie
wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-Child/bbpress.php

That will ensure that bbPress uses a template with a sidebar
