For some reason on a brand new install of BBPress, all pages work as expected, except the archive for the forums, the home page of BBPress.

View post on imgur.com

So is there a way to make that archive page work by listing the available forums?

Site also runs elementor, if that helps.

[Robin W]

sorry I’m just a bbpress user who helps out here and I have limited time to try stuff.

you could look at

actually just remembered that this plugin does this

GD bbPress Tools

I have set up my bbPress as no registration is required, but another plugin needs registration to use the service.
Is it possible to disable the user information on bbPress for users who are already logged in wordpress?

The theme (Astra) has a child theme, the bbPress child theme is not installed yet.
Wordpress is ver.5.9, bbPress is 2.6.9.

Thank you.

Test to see what REPLY does 😀

Edit : actually any REPLY button on any message is simply a reply to the entire topic ?

Second question : can we quote on BBpress ? this is very useful, i dont see this option

Thanks 🙂

Hi Robin

Sorry if wasn’t clear

i mean im looking for custom made bbpress templates ready to download (free or not) that would give a different look to bbpress
where can i find that ?
thank you 🙂

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress registration

dashboard>settings>general has the ‘anyone can register’ option

[Robin W]

all the user customisable templates are in

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

Hi Robin

Thanks a lot !

Ok so i can see we can totally customize the bbpress frontend files

then i have a question : where can i find custom templates of bbpress ?
if i search for “bbpress themes” i only find whole wordpress themes, but i want to keep my theme, i just want a custom /bbpress/ templates files to have a custom look

where can i find that ? thanks a lot 🙂

[Robin W]

if you want to change the text and have FTP skills then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit change line 85 to read what you want

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[Robin W]

to hide

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form label {
	display: none;
}

put this in the custom css of your theme or the custom css of my style pack

[DeepBlue]

Really great features to improve BBpress, i have been working on it all day 🙂

by the way, i cant find how to rename (or remove) the label “Topic Title (Maximum Length: 80):” above the title topic field

I would like to rename it by Topic Title, or nothing

thanks 🙂

[DeepBlue]

Your plugin is awesome thanks Robin !
i wonder why they dont use it on this bbpress forum, especially the visual editor

[DeepBlue]

Hi

I have a problem with sticky topics

they show full width at the very top of the page window (outside the bbpress template)

i checked the css : it comes from the position, if i disable position:fixed, the sticky topic comes back at the right place :

.sticky {
/* position: fixed;

Any idea ?

Thank you 🙂

I just installed BBpress and made the configuration of a register form.
When I try to register and hit submit a blanc form appear.

In the youtube video’s which a saw the Membership: Anyone can register has to be marked on. But this option isn’t visibel in the menu.
What I am doing wrong or how can this be solved.

Thanks in advance

Hi

I am customizing BBpress with Elementor

i managed to add a theme builder template for bbpress with display conditions :
Forums > Forums
Forums > Forums by author

That’s all i can find as conditions on theme builder
so it applies to forums but not to :
– forum home
– topics
– profiles

i can’t figure out how to include those in the template
i tried the Any child of condition but i can’t find the forum homepage in the list
i can only set Any child of … and then add each forum one by one, which is not a good solution when a forum has plenty of forums

the easiest solution would be Any child of “Homepage forum”

Any help welcome thank you

Hi, I am working on a Forums site which uses bbpress, but the topics created doesnt show up in the forums, unless you run the repair tool from Admin Panel. Is there any way of doing it automatically, through code?
My idea is to run repair tool in CronJob, so I dont have to manually run the Repair tool every single time!

I currently use two BBPress plugins. They are:

“GD bbPress Attachments” to enable users to attach files with replies
“bbPress Moderation” for holding replies until they are approved

When I try to attach a file with a BBPress reply, that file is dropped as soon as the comment is inserted as “pending”. The attachment is not there when I moderate the comment as an administrator. This problem does not occur when I disable “bbPress Moderation”

This is the forum:
https://www.eeweb.com/forums/

This is an example of a topic that can be replied to:

I have manged to come up with a way to achieve what I want and thought I would share it with others on this BBPRESS forum.

So I wished to show an activity stream that lists the most recent post /replies, which can include many posts from the same topic as the standard widget does already, but also expand the each post so it is readable by default (like a preview window) ?

So I already use GD Power Search for bbPress and have created a custom search parameter via hyperlink which shows the newest post regardless of where they may come from as either a single topic or multiple, the key is post post/reply freshness.

The link I used (added to menu) is (https://uktechhub.com/forums/search/-/?gdpos=power-search-request&gdpos_search_types=reply) which performs a search each time for newest post/reply and displays the text box.

A crude workaround, but it works 😉
