Steady, wasn’t accusing you of doing anything wrong ! A programming error can occur in plugins, or as a result of a combination of plugins. “You have a programming error” is very different from “you created a programming error” ! That you have an error doesn’t mean you created it !

I still find that when I submit I get a http500 error, but the post has posted. If I click refresh it then works fine.

As you have tried this with all plugins except buddypress disabled, and you have tried it with just twenty-eleven, then I’d suggest you try without buddypress to eliminate that.

If you still have the problem, the suggest you delete and reload both bbpress and buddypress plugins in case they glitched when loading.

The only change i have made to bbPress is in my child theme, but the problem is still there when my child theme isn’t activated, so it couldn’t possibly be the problem…

[craftersuniversity]

What do you mean, programming error? I didn’t make the bbPress plugin… Since the problem is still there even without my childtheme, i couldn’t possible be at fault here.

Hi, I’m on WordPress 3.8.1 and have just installed bbpress 2.5.3

I’ve set up a forum here: http://www.luciddreamingland.com/dream-journal/

The set up documentation was great, thanks!

It’s looking great except that there’s a white box covering the main part of the forum.

I’ve tried everything to get rid of it including turning off other plugins and moving to TwentyEleven without success.

Any suggestions on how to remove it?

Thanks so much.

Hello again.

I have been fighting for a while with the issue and I finally got a solution. I will write it down just in case it could be useful for somebody. Let me say I believe it might exist a smarter solution than mine, so, if you find it, live a comment here, thanks.

Two steps (bbPress 2.5.3):

1) In qtranslate/qtranslate_hooks.php, add the following filters:

add_filter( 'paginate_links', 'qtrans_convertURL' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_permalink', 'qtrans_convertURL' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_permalink', 'qtrans_convertURL' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_permalink', 'qtrans_convertURL' );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_favorites_permalink', 'qtrans_convertURL' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_subscriptions_permalink', 'qtrans_convertURL' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_profile_url', 'qtrans_convertURL' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_edit_profile_url', 'qtrans_convertURL' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_replies_created_url', 'qtrans_convertURL' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_topics_created_url', 'qtrans_convertURL' );

First four are for the standard navigation inside the forums. Last six are for the user profile menu.

2) In bbpress/includes/common/template.php, modify a couple of lines in bbp_get_breadcrumb() function:

In line 2250, replace:

$crumbs[] = '<a href="' . trailingslashit( home_url() ) . '" class="bbp-breadcrumb-home">' . $r['home_text'] . '</a>';

with

$crumbs[] = '<a href="' . trailingslashit( qtrans_convertURL(home_url()) ) . '" class="bbp-breadcrumb-home">' . $r['home_text'] . '</a>';

And in line 2267, replace:

$crumbs[] = '<a href="' . esc_url( $root_url ) . '" class="bbp-breadcrumb-root">' . $r['root_text'] . '</a>';

with

$crumbs[] = '<a href="' . esc_url( qtrans_convertURL($root_url) ) . '" class="bbp-breadcrumb-root">' . $r['root_text'] . '</a>';

That’s all! Hope it serves.

[jalbaiges]

Hello everybody,

I am using qTranslate with bbPress. Content is properly displayed in every language, but internal links (to forums, to topics, to user profiles, etc.) are not translated, so when clicking on such a link you are always redirected to the main language.

I believe this can be successfully addressed by applying some filter using “qtrans_convertURL”, but I don’t know where.

Any suggestion?

Thank you very much!

[iambob]

Didn’t see a ticket in Trac yet per RavanH, so I just created it: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2543#ticket. Seeing the upstream looks to be 5+ years open I hope there’s a quicker fix! 😉

Best regards,
Bob

I just don’t understand how WordPress.org manages to have a “view your profile” button in its support forums which are said to be bbpress forums.

[malkah]

Hi

Is there a way to remove the rel=nofollow from bbpress posts?
I want the links inside posts to be indexed.
website: topfitnesstip .com

Please give specific instructions.

thanks

[crzyhrse]

Because I have no idea how Robin might get it otherwise, I’ll put this here as well, though the subject may call for a new thread? (although in a sense the subject here has also been about communication…)

In case you want to put this in the crib..?

Went looking for a way to change the submit button in bbpress, bigger, colors… Finally was able to assemble searched out bits and pieces from a couple places and with some experimenting accomplished my goal with this, put into the theme’s child style.css:

#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #a0668d;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}

I laud your efforts Robin, there really are not that I’ve ever found any organized simple ways or directions to make simple changes to simple and common things for us simple and common folks, neither for bbpress or wordpress… And a lot of what is there is old… The two links you’ve offered above are the best I’ve seen so far, and are apparently still works in progress…

No complaints here at all, just a recognition of the difficulties that are present in volunteer community efforts, especially one as widespread as all this is… WordPress is amazing, sort of like the whole world reaching to itself for shared community, open source community, so to speak…

[Andreasjj]

I am using the listings theme by umbrella, and would like to use the supprtte theme for the bbPress forum at my site.

I have no clue about how to install this bbPress theme while still using the listings theme.
– How do i do this? 🙂

Thanks in advance,
Andreas.

[hitkid]

Hello all,

I am trying to add bbpress functions such as bbp_get_topic author and so on.

<?php
			$args = array( 'post_type' => 'topic', 'posts_per_page' => 10 );
			$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
			while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
				the_title();
				bbp_get_topic_author_link ( array( 'size' => '60' )  );
			endwhile;
			?>

I can get the_title(); and the_content(); but am having problems with getting this in:

bbp_get_topic_author_link ( array( 'size' => '60' ) );

and more so. Is there anything I’m doing wrong?

Thank you for any help I might get 🙂

[crzyhrse]

Well, After a lot of doodling around I’ve accomplished my goal, increased all the forum’s various text font sizes… Here is the gist of it…

I took a copy of the bbpress.css and put it into TextWrangler. Searched for all instances of font-size, made that all be listed at the top in a split window as a guide, then went through and searched and replaced for each different font-size, adding 2px to the px sizes and 0.2em to the em sizes.

Then on a copy of that, with all font-size instances again listed at the top to guide me, I went through and eliminated everything BETWEEN the sections that had a font size in them. I ran all that was left through a code checker- http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator -which said it was good.

I then tried what Jared suggested at the beginning of this thread and that I’ve seen suggested elsewhere (often by Jared), I created a folder in the theme’s child folder called bbpress, and copied that modified and reduced bbpress.css file into that folder…

No go, that did not work… So, I then copied and pasted that very same code directly into my child theme’s style.css, and yea, it was working, changed it all… Went back and got rid of thee above mentioned folder, and it still worked..

It may be that there are things that didn’t need to change to accomplish my goal, but it works, nothing is too big and all of it is now easy to see without squinting… 🙂 I could imagine doing a similar process for other sorts of changes, if a change seems to be called for…

Here is the modified code… I believe I could have also eliminate everything but the font sizes and the parts that do the targeting (properties?), but I think this makes it easier to place where things are at in the full file, and I might want to change some other font attributes at some point…

Hoping this might be helpful… I’ve sured learned some things today…

[JeremyCh]

After thinking, it should not be that difficult, if we can see the file via which new posts are getting added / deleted, we can simply call bbpress’s native bbp_user_post_count to update the post count in the database, right ?

[JeremyCh]

Strange … I have just posted this, and see in bbpress’s forum page that I have posted this more than a year ago …

[JeremyCh]

Hi guys

I’m wondering if we could store the post count in the database. That also means we need to update the database everytime someone adds / delete a message.

I’m using the memberlist plugin, and this could have helped me to display the member count of each member (without having to call bbpress’s method for each member individually) and I could also sort members list based on their post count.

Any idea ?
Thanks guys.

Hi Robin,

Adding the !important, I have placed the below into the theme’s child, and then just to see what would happen when that didn’t do anything, placed it at the bottom of the bbpress.css file, here- /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css

Neither attempt made the change I am looking for, to increase the font size of all the forum text in general, which is presently about the same size as this text is here… I’ll tweak the number once something I try is effecting a change… I am always clearing all caches when I ever do any changes, just to confirm that…

bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
font-size: 16px !important;
}

I am going to keep looking and playing with it but wanted to report this now… I am accepting your offer of help. Some feedback is that in a lot of searching in the past I hadn’t come across the pages your links above sent me to, and they are helpful, though still with some vagueness and gaps that can leave on a bit floundering… I you want to hear more let me know…

[Anonymous User 13302461]

I have noticed a few bugs.

The freshness is displayed wrong sometimes, seeming to point to the time the thread was made and not the latest activity, or perhaps to recent activity on the wrong thread, because:

Some topics I click on “recent post by” next to the freshness, it takes me to a completely different topic!

The forum “subscribe” link is missing

The topic “subscribe” or “unscubscribe” links make a popup box saying “Undefined”

Shame because default bbpress layout for multiple forums, categories and sub categories is awful.

[napalees]

Hi, I’ve updated to newest version recently. And I’m experiencing a serious bug… If I remember correctly. I installed BBpress some time arround november. It workewd OK for me. Now when new user registers with me he does not get forum role automatically. I must assign it manualy. In forum settings Automatically give registered visitors the Participant forum role is checked.
I’d appreciate your help on this problem or link to the older version whitch was official around the end of november

TIA

[Robin W]

ok think I understand now. If you make a copy of your custom page template eg. page.php file and rename it to bbPress.php then all your bbPress pages should use this template.

[Robin W]

Certainly works in the template both in childtheme and if you do it in the original location – just tested the latter.

It could be that either I’ve not explained well enough or or we’re talking about a different “Forum” position.

The change you make should be from :

<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Forum', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

to

<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Elephant', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

if you want it to say Elephant.

If that is not the issue, can you confirm that it is the “forum” in the top left of this example that you’re talking about

https://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/53/2013/11/forum-5.jpg

[boriskamp1991]

Hi guys!

First of all! thanks for this amazing plugin! I’m really excited to use it!

I have installed BBpress along with Buddypress.
Now I would like someone to take a look if everything is ok? I have no idea if everything is ok, for example, I am missing the breadcrumbs for the forum, maybe I am missing more.
Here is my forum

Also, is it possible to get all the topic pages, forum pages (basically all pages that are related to the forum) on a custom page? Like I did with the http://www.militaryscalemodelling.com/forum/ page?

Thanks!

[Robin W]

If you’re reasonable at php, download a plugin I wrote for adding town and county to bbpress, and crack this open.

bbPress town and county plugin

It has the code to add two fields (town and county) to profile, which displays under the avatar on topics and replies. But you can alter and use this code to add any fields the users profile so that they can edit and update.
