i’m making all changes live to my site as i havent launched yet (hopefully in 2 days) and my hosting companies servers are running Litespeed.

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks like you have patched the file correctly.

Can you view the source and get the stylesheet path and paste it here:

eg.
A ‘failed’ example
<link rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="http://localhost/wordpress37/wp-content/C:devhtdocswordpress37wp-contentpluginsbbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.5-5199" type="text/css" media="screen">

A ‘working’ example:
<link rel='stylesheet' id='bbp-default-css' href='http://127.0.0.1/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.5-5199' type='text/css' media='screen' />

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you hosting this yourself on Windows?

If so we have a patch for bbPress 2.5.1 here
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481

We have had no known issues of this for bbPress 2.4

Who is your webhost provider and/or what software package and version are you using locally? eg. XAMPP 1.8.3

Hi,

I have a bbpress Version 2.3.2 installation that works fine but if I upgrade to Version 2.4 or 2.5, the css breaks for subscribers and only for child forums. What I mean is if I have a parent forum and create a child forum, when a subscriber visits the child forum, css doesn’t display properly, but if the user is admin, there is no problem. Not sure how to fix it.

Thanks

…the search members (filters) has drop downs. Is this a part of the BBpress plugin?

No, this not part of bbPress, it is part of your ‘Sweet Date’ theme.

[Stephen Edgar]

We have a patch ready to ship with bbPress 2.5.1

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481

If you could test that patch that would be great, I have tested it on XAMPP 1.8.3 , Apache, IIS and a couple of other systems but we’d like some feedback on the patch before we release 2.5.1 to make sure we haven’t broken something else. 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes, it is a bug in bbPress 2.5, we have a patch in and ready for bbPress 2.5.1

Details are here if you want to apply the patch yourself:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481

If not bbPress 2.5.1 is not far away….

[kiwi3685]

I wonder, have I misunderstood this new (2.5) feature.

I expected that once I am subscribed to a forum I would receive email notification of any new post or reply in that forum. But I haven’t received any (and yes, there were posts overnight to forums I have subscribed to)

Am I wrong? Is “subscription” different to “notification”?

If they are different, what is the design purpose of subscriptions?

I had assumed that the subscription feature would mean I could deactivate ‘bbPress Notify’ plugin, but it seems I still need it.

[focallocal]

i added the 2481.01.2.patch but bbpress still breaks my site when active (it was fine before the update)

and here’s screenshots of what’s happening on my site: http://imgur.com/a/4SNAC

sorry, i have learned from this to wait a few weeks before updating – but if anyone could help me to see what what i’ve done wrong here that’d be a huge help.

EDIT: As your issue is fixed I removed the huge code chunk you posted. Netweb 3rd Dec

[kiwi3685]

I simply added this to my bbpress.css file (in my theme folder)

#subscription-toggle {float:right;}

[focallocal]

thanks for the style sheet fix. any idea how long before its officially fixed in bbpress so i can decide whether to have a go at it myself or to wait?

i’m a little nervous about messing around with code as updates seem to break the things i change.. ironically in this case.

[focallocal]

i think i am having the same issue, although i dont understand what windows would have to do with it.

i updated and the styling on my site was broken. if i deactivate bbpress it comes back to normal. here’s some screen shots: http://imgur.com/a/4SNAC

notice after the update the headers have turned blue, the outlines of all elements have gone and the image in the top left of the header has moved to the top of the page. the site is: http://www.focallocal.org

[brucedongcai@gmail.com]

Stephen, fyi. I believe that I have the same problem like this one. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/why-is-forum-index-in-bullet-points/
I am also asking them how did they fix it.

thank you

[Robin W]

You might need to play a bit, and come back if this either works or doesn’t, I’ve only had a quick look, and suspect there’s a much better way…but

You main theme uses ‘Helvetica Neue’,sans-serif and the forum is using Arial

I’m still on 2.4.1 so can’t tell you which lines you need in version 2.5

So in the bbpress.css file you’ve correctly copied to theme’s folder, do a search for “font-size” and where you find it, add a line

font: ‘Helvetica Neue’,sans-serif;

That will take it in common with the main theme’s font.

for instance

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3 {
	background: none;
	border: none;
	font-size: 16px;
 	line-height: 1em;
 	margin: 8px 0;
	padding: 0;
	text-transform: none;

you’d alter it to say

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3 {
	background: none;
	border: none;
	font-size: 16px;
 	font: 'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;
 	line-height: 1em;
 	margin: 8px 0;
	padding: 0;
	text-transform: none;

hi Stephen, I am using Window Xampp Apache (3.1.0.3.1.0). I guess that I am not using Window IIS.
more information as the following base on the research.

I installed bbpress & buddypress on my site which has pitch theme. I suspect this could be from my theme formatting the bbpress forums this way.the pitch theme is working perfectly. I created a page which is called “Forums”(forum index page). I chose the default template. My forum index page is just a bunch of bullet points listing each text for the topics

example:
—-
Forum
Topics
Posts
Freshness

Group Forums
group one (2, 0)

I also asked that Pitch theme is compatibly with bbpress and buddypress or not.

Thank you

Hi,

This is definitely a bug in bbp 2.5 on Windows. 2.4.1 does not have this issue. You can reproduce it by reverting to 2.4.1 (works again) -> update to 2.5 (doesn’t work again).

<link rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="http://localhost/wordpress37/wp-content/C:devhtdocswordpress37wp-contentpluginsbbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css?ver=2.5-5199" type="text/css" media="screen">

Windows 7 x64, httpd+php+mysqld, latest stable WP, BP, BBP

[Cars10]

I agree, the location is so hidden, I would have not found it without you.
Can bbPress make this link more prominent and better located?

Thanks

I try to adderss this by CSS for now, but css class is same everywhere, so need to think clever ,-)

[Robin W]

It shouldn’t do – just tested with bbPress 2.4.1 and editing by admin in either the dashboard or in the options when viewing the post doesn’t change it’s “published” date, which is what the forum uses as it’s display order.

Have you got any plugins or changes you’ve made that could affect this.

And.. has this just started happening and what version of bbPress are you on?

[FreeWPress]

I remember wich one time i have disabled all plugin in my site and i lost mosto info for major of them.. in particular bbpress, when i enabled it show 404 page in all topics and forums.. I have saved. I go in options and see all options correct, and save it.. after saving it work fine… Mistery…

[FreeWPress]

what is your wordpress version? Have you try to save again all bbpress forum options?

[Robin W]

Diggories,

Some great tips there.

mm, the upgrade will have overwritten the change – as per first post

Of course you’ll need to make a note of this change, as it is lost whenever you upgrade bbpress versions

I haven’t upgraded yet, let me know if putting it back fixes it !

[robertFudge]

Thanks for the reply, this theme uses BBpress and the search members (filters) has drop downs. Is this a part of the BBpress plugin? Any help is appreciated.

Take a look at the Data Parameters of WP_Query https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Date_Parameters

You can also create custom views in bbPress eg.

function ntwb_register_custom_views() {
	bbp_register_view( 'popular-topics', __( 'Popular Topics' ), array( 'meta_key' => '_bbp_reply_count', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'unpopular-topics', __( 'Unpopular Topics' ), array( 'meta_key' => '_bbp_reply_count', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'order' => 'asc' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'random-topic', __( 'Random Topic' ), array( 'orderby' => 'rand' ), false );
	bbp_register_view( 'closed', __( 'Recently Closed' ), array( 'post_status' => 'closed' ), false );
	

}
add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'ntwbc_register_custom_views' );

[FreeWPress]

yes topic subscriptions are ok.. it work fine..

I don’t have bbpress.php in my child theme folder…
