Not quite sure what you are after

There is a bbpress widget that shows latest topics which you can put into your sidebar.

Otherwise come back and explain some more !

[Robin W]

Think this thread should help you

http://wpml.org/forums/topic/conflick-with-bbpress/

[Robin W]

it’s coming from bbpress stylesheet.

there may be a quicker way to remove this, but one that should work is as follows.

I don’t think you have a childtheme, and now may be the time to consider having one, see https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-2/ for more details

once done you need to navigate to

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css

copy this file into a folder called css within your theme, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/mychildtheme/css/bbpress.css

where mychildtheme is the name of your childtheme

Then edit every line that has

background-color : xxxxxxx

change to

background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);

NOTE it goes from background-color to background
and it is only the background color that you’ll be changing, not lines which just have color: as that’ll be text!

eg

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-header,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header {
	background-color: #f4f4f4;
}

becomes

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-header,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header {
	background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
}

This will make the background transparent, but with a darker tint shading that you have in your sidebar (the amount of difference is on the 0.4 bit, 0.1 is the lightest, 1.0 the darkest).

Come back if that doesn’t fix it, or for further help

[Robin W]

the answer is probably yes – a forum post is a post

You might do better to install bbPress WP Tweaks Widget Logic plugin which gives you a forum specific sidebar

alternately (or additionally) use widget logic where you can use code like is_bbpress()or the negative !is_bbpress()to control where widgets are shown

[Robin W]

Biloute,

There are lots of ways into bbpress and wordpress. Can you post a link to the screen you’re talking about so that we can clearly see what text you want to remove.

Hello BBpress,

Im an new user and would really like to hear if its possible to integrate your system with zendesk (ticket system).

What i need is that when a user makes a topic on my forum, its create a Tickets which i can reply to make an answer on that question. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

First time using BBpress with a new site i was helping with. Installed the setup forums with no problem and everything was working fine for a few days then blam, everything died. I was not even installing or editing anything at the time. You can see the result here –

http://www.ukdynasty.co.uk/forums/

I reverted back to original twenty twelve template but still the same and deactivated plugins.

whats going on anyone?

[Andrea]

Hi folks,

Same problem with me, new BP install, new BBPress install but no bbpress menus in my dash at all.

In my case it did turn out to be a plugin clash, and in case it should help anyone else, “WP Survey And Quiz Tool” plugin conflicts. Disable the quiz plugin, and the bbpress menus magically appear. I did manage to set up my forums, then reenable the quiz plugin and they both appear to function correctly.

Cheers

I never get any errors, just a blank page. But only if i reply to some other members forum thread, if i reply to a forum thread i have started, then this problem doesn’t appear…. Also i just noticed that my admin account receives notifications via mail, but not my moderator account…both are subscribed.

I tried deactivating all plugins except bbPress, but the site crashed completely, showing me empty gray pages. I then activated BuddyPress, and the website started working again, so BuddyPress must be activated for some reason. I also tried repairing the forum, and reinstalling entire bbPress, but still the problem remains. However, when i reinstalled BuddyPress, then it started working again. And for some reason BuddyPress latest version is working, the last time i tried to update, it broke my entire site….

At any rate, i think it is working now…

[Robin W]

Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Suspect this could be because your path is slightly different.

Can you go into a profile edit for me , that is into bbpress and then go into edit for a real username

The in the url you should be something like

http://mysite.com/forums/users/admin/edit

Post on here what that path looks like. You can substitute mysite.com for your site, and admin for whatever username you are using, it is the stuff around that I am after.

Hey Stephen!

Thanks so much for the help! 😀 I should’ve mentioned that I tried those already and they didn’t appear. It works with other bbpress functions, but just not the author avatar as you shared with the codex. I updated the version of bbpress. buddypress and wordpress that I am using to try and see if that worked and still nothing. The avatar shows just fine in the mychildtheme/bbpress/loop-single-topic. It shows up with the topic index shortcode. Any ideas as to what the problem is? I’m pretty confused as to what’s going on!

Thanks again @netweb !

[Stephen Edgar]

This is a known issue, we should have a fix in either the next bbPress release or WordPress 3.9

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2504
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27031

@koendb

Which bbpress file should I add the below filter to to get that feature? Thanks.

function short_freshness_time( $output) {
$output = preg_replace( '/, .*[^ago]/', ' ', $output );
return $output;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_time_since', 'short_freshness_time' );
add_filter('bp_core_time_since', 'short_freshness_time');

I have set up the bbpress and works great…with the exception that it does not show on an iPhone. The new 3.8 theme Twenty Fourteen works great and changes to reflect large screens, tablets and phones. The entire site works well in all views with the exception of bbPress on the iPhone. (The forums do not show up.)

Does anyone know a fix for this? I would love to implement this bbPress on my site, but worry that some of my users may ONLY have access via phone. Any suggestions?

[m-one]

I’m using Widget Context to manage sidebars on my site. If I set a widget to appear on Blog Index and All posts it appears in my forum sidebar (which I don’t want). I’m trying to work out why this is so my first question is – are bbpress forum topics classed / managed as posts? and are forum indexes classed the same as blog indexes/archives?

This might explain why Widget Context treats them as such.

Many thanks.

Hey guys. This should be pretty simple, but I’m still new to everything so I wanted to ask for help.

This is an example link in question.

http://www.skyforgelabs.com/forums/forum/news-reviews/

So as you can see, it is my website, forums, and then a forum, and then the name of the forum.

What I would like is for it to show like this:

http://www.skyforgelabs.com/forums/news-reviews/

Basically it should skip the “forum” part, because it’s redundant and it would improve my SEO a bit, and it looks much better.

Any idea on what I would do in my settings to achieve this?

[Darth]

Ah ha! I didn’t realize that BBpress was also installed inside my Avada Theme folder. I was changing it directly in the BBpress inside the “plugins” folder.

I just changed the loop-forums.php inside the theme folder and it worked. Thank you so much for the help, and sorry I didn’t realize the dual installation sooner.

Hi there!

After hours and hours of reading forum and trying I have this problem not solved:

Import from SMF to BBpress. Users are listed as “imported_name..” And the in the forum the links of the users go to “username-2”

I read here about “assigning all its topics/replies to username”.

Topic author names prefixed with "imported_"

So I try to delete the users “imported_” – but then the wordpress asks me within the deletiong process to assign all topics to one of the former (undeleted) users.

So, how can I assign the Forum-Posts and Topics to the original users and delete the doubles? I don’t know how to do it. And I can’t find it, not even in the repair-section of the forum…

Would be great if someone could help me,

Thanx! 🙂

Simps

[Robin W]

hmmm…

Should work !

Are you changing it in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php?

or in your child theme?, and if the latter can you detail the path from wp-content/ onwards

[Ilya]

For participant user search results doesn’t not show topics from private forums.

If I add to default capabilities in bbp_get_caps_for_role() at /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.php line 191 the follow line 'read_hidden_forums' => true, then it works, but forum has visibility “Private” not “Hidden”.

How can I override bbp_get_caps_for_role() without modifying core files?

[Darth]

Sorry for the delayed response Robin.

Yes, I am talking about the “Forum” in the left of your pic.

I made the following change, as suggested:

<li class=”bbp-forum-info”><?php _e( ‘The Darth Side Forums’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>

But, it didn’t take effect. The change is shown as listed above in the actual code, but When I go to “inspect element” on the page it still shows:

<li class=”bbp-forum-info”>Forum

[aravindbachu]

Simply too frustrating. I believe I am going to quit bbpress now. I am just unable to get a bloody “edit my profile” link in the menu!!

I am surprised that such a small function isn’t provided in bbpress.

bbpress sucks. badly.

[koendb]

@jslom I think I used something from this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-a-featured-image-to-a-forum/

[bc328]

Hi,

This is the link of my forum

Right below the word “Translation” is the path of the forum, ‘Home>forums>Translation Subscribe’.
How can I remove the path?

And if possible, I have one more question.
How can I control the width of the forum? I think the width of this bbpress support forum is wider than my forum, whose width is too narrow.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Im working on a site with buddypress 1.9.1, wordpress 2.8.1 and bbpress 2.5.1

I have several groups with their own forums, the problem is, the groups AND the forums are to be hidden, if you are in, you know, if you arent, you dont have to even know it.
As an example:
User 1 can view forum A
user 2 can view forum A and B
User 3 can view forum B

But there seems to be no way to make it work, if i set it to hidden, then even the group users cant view it, and on private, is viewed by all members, even if not accesed…

using moderator is out of question, those are two different things, and anyway, being moderator doesnt resolve, as it gives you visibility of all forums.

Any help¿
