I think you need to name the files bbpress-it.mo and bbpress-it.po

[matalena]

Hi,
I just followed the instructions to set bbpress in Italian but no luck, the basic page I created is still showing the headers in English (e.g.: Topis, Posts, Freshness, weeks, and so on).
I copied the latest .mo and .po from the development section and renamed them bbpress-it-IT.mo and bbpress-it-IT.po. Copied them as per instruction in the proper location. Was there anything else I had to do? I appreciate your attention, thanks.

EDIT: found the mistake, sorry, as you can see from what I wrote I used a dash instead than an underscore 😀 Sorry for the waste of time!

Hi,
I currently have bbpress 2.5.3 installed on WP 3.8.1 and my biggest problem is that I don’t have the FORUM tab on my dashboard after fresh installation? I can’t find any settings for bbPress as well!! I’ve refreshed my browsers and empty all the catches, but no luck! Please help, big thanks for your soonest reply.

Hi guys,

I’m trying to tinker with my bbPress forum and the font sizes of the parent forums and sub forums. I found this code (#bbpress-forums li a) and entered it into my custom CSS field, but it affects both parent and sub forum titles. How do I target the parent forum titles and sub forum titles separately.

Thanks!

Functions in bbpress are held in the template-tag files

so for instance
bbp_reply_admin_links is held in bbpress/includes/replies/template-tags.php

bbp_topic_admin_links is held in bbpress/includes/topics/template-tags.php

bbp_list_forums is held in bbpress/includes/forums/template-tags.php

open these up and you’ll see what argumens they use, and how to filter – from your post I am presuming you know how to create filters.

I guess he means this:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/yarpp-for-bbpress/

I’m not sure if I trust YARPP to be performant enough though.

[Robin W]

you could try the following plugin that I use

bbpress notify

It lets you set who receives

once installed go to dashboard>settings>forums and you’ll see options.

These are set at WP-roles, so you would probably have your moderators as editors. If you a code person, I’m sure you could mod the plugin to look for bbpress moderators.

We just downloaded bbpress plugin, but somehow forum page and topic that we created is not showing up.
can you please check: http://forbixindia.com/fbx/forums/topic/forum-home-automation
http://forbixindia.com/fbx/forums/forum/forum-for-electronics/

Are the versions compatible?
If not what can I do? I cannot migrate to any higher version of wordpress for sure.

A quick reply would be really helpful.

Thanks for your reply Robin but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work.
For me the line with <?php bbp_list_forums()?> is line 44 and not 30.

I’m not completely sure I am doing it right, I change the following in the file bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php – <?php bbp_list_forums()?> to

<?php bbp_list_forums(array (
'show_topic_count' => false,
'show_reply_count' => false,
'separator' => '',
));?>

Is that correct? I tried different endings as well, since the original line ends with just )?> I tried ending the new one also like that but all it gives me when I reload the forums is the following
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’, expecting ‘)’ in /home/virtual/mydomain.com/public_html/familjen/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php on line 45

If <?php bbp_list_forums()?> is line 44 then line 45 has to be 'show_topic_count' => false,

I’m very confused here!

WAIT A MINUTE NOW! It was just me not realizing the => represents => but => turned to => when I copied it into this post so now it works. Many thanks!

I have a WP installation with bbPress installed. I am setting up moderators and would like them to receive emails from posted forum topics and replies so they can keep up with the forum when they are not logged in. I set up forwarders in the server for the email account for the forum domain email address (example team@ourblog.com).

But then I realized that I get these topics and replies sent to me via the generic email account for the hosting account (myuserlogin@box###.bluehost.com) on the server. I also get then to my primary email account and I am not sure how that happens, but thought this was because I checked “Notify me of follow-up replies via email.”

How does “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” actually work? I can’t find anything in documentation that explains this. Does it harvest the topics and replies and send it to the email of the poster who has checked this feature? Why am I getting this mail sent to the my isp default box number for my account?

If I could figure out how bbPress is determining email addresses, then I could solve my own problem.
Thank you, Matoca

No problem !

Item 2 on the attached

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Skez]

Hey everybody!

Me and a friend have been looking for this for several hours now without look. I’ve found some outdated posts about it but since they’re outdated any eventual fix doesn’t work.

What we want to do is remove the topic and reply count from the Forum titles (marked red in the image). I’ve personally checked probably all .php-files in bbpress\templates\default and few in the includes folder looking for anything related to topic, reply count. Either I’m looking in the wrong place or I’ve missed them.

As you can see I marked something with green as well, this isn’t as important but I would like to either remove that one or rename to Star or something similar since pressing it sends you back to the start page.

Appreciate all kinds of help, cheers!

Odd. Could be a bug in several different places, but bbPress does use BuddyPress’s bp_core_current_time() function before calling bp_activity_add() in BBP_BuddyPress_Activity::record_activity().

I’d start your trouble shooting there, and see what time is being calculated.

[acasmi]

This is an odd problem.

Whenever anyone posts to the bbpress forums, the relevant activity notification shows up in the buddypress activity stream (frontend) as “44 Years, 1 month ago” and in the back end activity stream as “January 1, 1970 at 1:00 am” regardless of when it is posted (although obviously not 44 years ago!)

All the other activity posts (friend requests etc) show the correct times.

I have the timezone in WordPress dashboard set to UTC+1 (I am in Europe). WordPress, buddypress and bbpress are all current and up to date. We have the site running on a Windows IIS server.

Anyone help on this would be greatly appreciated!

(crossposted to buddypress.org as I have no idea if bbpress or buddypress is the problem, or neither!)

[lizat]

Is it possible with bbpress to have indented discussions like this:

something like this…

Post 1
…. Reply 1.1
…. Reply 1.2
……..Reply 1.2.1
…. Reply 1.3
…….. Reply 1.3.1
…….. Reply 1.3.2
…….. Reply 1.3.3
Post 2
…. Reply 2.1
etc.

Is this possible?

A guest/anonymous user created a topic yesterday despite this not being allowed (I have “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies” unchecked.)

How could this happen and how can I fix it?

I have all current versions of WordPress, bbpress and buddypress if thats relevant. I also use GD bbPress Tools and bbPress String Swap.

[UnknownTitle32]

when I go to my forum page, sometimes the categories don’t show up and when I go to the category page sometimes the topics don’t show up… Also when I click the link at the top of my site which points to http://sonsofanarchyforever.com/forum/ it goes to random topics, instead of /forum/… Any thoughts?

[iol2014]

Hello, thank you very much, I did as you wrote,
I re-saved the permalinks
I created a new page and inserted this shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
and breadcrumb now is: Home › Forums
while I changed the name of the root from ‘forums’ to ‘blogs’ because I want bbpress to show ‘blogs’ as its title and name everywhere in bbpress.
Thank you in advance

[nicmare]

How can i overwrite bbpress functions? I want to pass custom arguments in:
function bbp_get_topic_admin_links()
function bbp_get_reply_admin_links()
and
function bbp_list_forums();

example:
i want to remove the seperator form bbp_list_forums: ‘separator’ => ‘, ‘
now i modified the corresponding template.php files. but i think its better to find the righ hooks to pass custom arguments to those functions?!

thanks!

I really struggled to find a polls feature for bbPress that met my needs, so I created my own!

Hi, I have the exact same problem, did you manage to fix this @estepix ?
or did you have to use the outdated plugin Threaded Replies? :/

I really need pagination WITH threaded replies on my bbpress forum the same way @estepix explained it. Because when a topic has over 500+ replies it is NOT conceivable to display them on the SAME page.

Do someone have a trick to do the following?

Enable threaded replies N levels deep

Break replies into pages with N top level replies per page and the first/last page displayed by default
Replies should be displayed with the older/newer replies at the top of the page

Thank you very much for your help 🙂

Hi Mycelus,

I would recommend trying to gain a little css knowledge if your up for the challenge as it can get a lot done with WordPress and bbPress. Even just by hiding things with display:none or positioning things absolutely to get them in the right place.

If you want to try and get the look and feel of phpbb or ipboard then you could take a look at the bbPress starter theme I created. It gets you onto a good footing with the layout and then you can go onto styling the colours from there.

http://www.epicwebs.co.uk/bbpress-tutorials/bbpress-starter-theme/.

You can also find the topic about it here on bbPress: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-have-created-a-bbpress-starter-theme-with-a-phpbb-look-and-feel/.

Good luck! 🙂

[Mycelus]

Hey guys. So I’m used to the regular forum format like phpBB and IP Board where it looks like this: http://imgur.com/XlyR6cc

So, where it says Welcome to IPS, that’s the category name.

Under that, you have News and Information, and Pre-Sales, those are your FORUMS.

Then you have a space underneath the categories as can be seen in the picture.

This makes sense because your CATEGORIES are SEPARATED from each other, and the FORUMS, are listed underneath.

The way bbPress it, you can click a category. This makes ZERO sense, there is NO reason to click on the category.

Also, as can also be seen in the picture, the amount of topics, and replies are to the right side, with the recent reply, time, latest thread, and time to the right.

This can be done by anyone with some moderate CSS knowledge and WordPress know how, unfortunately I possess little of both.

So I’m here for your help. Please share your wisdom with me and help me get this layout. This is a layout SO many people have asked for, yet I have found no tutorials on getting anything like this and it just astounds me considering how popular bbPress is, I don’t know why bbPress has a god awful layout.

Note: Please do not make any “well this is how bbPress is supposed to look like so you should deal with it” comments. I’m not here to hear that.

Thank you in advance to anyone who helps me achieve this. I really appreciate it.
