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

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?

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?

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¿

[JacobWard]

Okay, so if you click my website then go to News & Update then Go to Weapons Update you will see It is not showing what I Posted I tried different browsers I tried uninstalling bbpress and budypress and reinstalling them even just tried bbpress alone that still did not work I have all the latest versions and everything can someone please help me I cant figure this out. I purchased my Template so I’m really not looking to change it but when I tried other templates it still did not work as well what am I doing wrong????

http://wwww.naruto-mmo.com/

[Robin W]

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.

[craftersuniversity]

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.

[Stephen Edgar]

Checkout the docs here 🙂 https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_topic_author_link/

[domainhorizon]

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.

[jalbaiges]

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
