If you look at the blog post it doesn’t have any comments, instead it has bbPress replies.

[Asynaptic]

@netweb unless I’m missing something your reply was simply to link to the blog post and forum discussion of the announcement of version 2.5:

@synaptic Look at this actual blog post, instead of comments it is this forum discussion

Blog Post: https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/11/bbpress-2-5-released/
Discussion: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-5-is-out/

Yes, I’ve read the blog post. That is where I got “replacing comments with bbPress topics” text snippet (which I mention above).

I’ve also read the forum thread discussing and congratulating the release. That doesn’t explain what “replacing comments with bbPress topics” is either.

I do not understand what this is referring to. I’m still waiting to hear an answer.

thank you

As per my reply here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-5-is-out/#post-139438

There is a fix now available if you want to grab it before bbPress 2.5.1 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress Users are WordPress users so if your WordPress user can be generated from the plugin plugin ‘wp-member’ you should be good to go, nothing else needed except to create your private forum.

[Stephen Edgar]

You should have your translations in /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ not in the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages/ folder.

See this for further information, also if your translations are at 100% for your language there is a very high chance you will now get this automatically updated when new translations are added/corrected etc.

[Stephen Edgar]

No idea, going to need much more detail information to track this down.\

Can you update to bbPress 2.5 first and let me know if that fixes your issue.

Greetings to All,

I am having trouble with bbPress or Buddypress. I have posted a few test forums but the Sign Up process is not working.

Everything works fine with my “social login plugin” but I never recieve any email to activate when signing up straight through my website or bbPress/BuddyPress. I tried this a few times without any plugins and it still did not function.

The users are showing up on the back end, but not able to login after submitting information to create profile.

Please help, I would like for this to work before I start my email campaign. Thanks

KLAXON wailing in the distance…

What does “replacing comments with bbPress topics” refer to exactly?

It was mentioned in the bbPress 2.4 and 2.5 announcements.

Thanks!

KLAXON slowly fading out…

I think I might setup some kind of experiment with one of my unused domain names and write a few posts here linking to the site and analyse what the traffic is doing and where from.

If it hackers trying to login to the site that is one thing or it could simply be thousands of bbpress.org users wanting to check out my awesome bbPress site 😉

I am having some trouble figuring out how to change the font type on my forum. Everything looks good except the forum index, which is using a font that looks like it’s done with a typewriter. I want to use a bolder, darker font link the rest of the site has. I’ve copied the bbpress to the themes folder and made a CSS folder and copied everything to there. I was looking through the code and I couldn’t make heads or tails out of it. Can someone go to http://www.lowvisionrants.com/forums and tell me how to change the font of that main page so it looks normal?

The changelog is here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/changelog/

[svcslzysh]

I tired the new update and it resulted in blank pages across my entire site. I was able to get back to my wp-admin only to see:

Note I see this with my regular blog posts as well. When I disable bbpress my blog works again and post name appear correct.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give. My forum is down until I figure this one out or find the last version and restore.

Hi,

I have been having problems with forum building and would like to know if bbpress is capable of adding new members to the forum automatically incorporating wp-member plugin.

Basically a paid site which has a private forum, once someone pays their membership they automatically gain access to the forum.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Richard

[alex.sakota]

Not sure if this older post is of any help…create your plugin which will take keywords and add to META tags…

Is bbpress SEO friendly???

Sure appreciate if somebody could update? (post is 5 years old)

After the upgrade to 2.5 there are CSS errors because the include is broken! The cause is that the programmers didn’t thought about people hosting WordPresss (and bbpress) on Windows platforms. (Windows uses a different slash and different directory root/paths).

I’m hoping for a 2.5.1 fix 😉

ERRORS:

Note that the slashes are missing from the ‘plugin_dir’ part.

I think the problem is within the “private function setup_globals” of the bbpress.php file or the “public function __construct” of the bbpress-functions.php file.

And to answer your question yes their is a bbpress.css file in avada.

I don’t know if i’m allowed to post it here, could you confirm ? Themeforest and GPL… If yes I will.

[Thibaud]

Sure, although the first steps of customization comes from avada theme who integrate styles for bbpress as you can see on this page : http://theme-fusion.com/avada/forums/forum/general-information/

The following is the css i added to the style.css file of avada. I’m a begineer so let me know if something is wrong.

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header, #bbpress-forums #bbp-single-user-details #bbp-user-navigation li.current a, div.bbp-template-notice, div.indicator-hint {
background: rgba(255, 204, 0, 0.65) !important;
}

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
font-size: 17px;
}

li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-topic-voice-count, li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count {

text-align: center;

}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author .bbp-reply-post-date, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-tags a, #bbpress-forums #bbp-single-user-details, div.bbp-template-notice, div.indicator-hint .bbp-arrow {

font-size: 15px;
}

And a few BBpress specific’s plugins :

Social Login (also a wordpress plugin)

Orbisius bbPress Enhancer

bbPress New Topic Emailer

bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

bbPress2 shortcode whitelist

bbPress2 BBCode

And unfortunatly bbPress Threaded Replies doesn’t work with bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab, it’s one or the other.

[Asynaptic]

First, thank you to everyone involved! 🙂

Second, apologies for the dumb question, but I remember this from bbPress 2.4 and it is mentioned again above:

What does “replacing comments with bbPress topics” refer to exactly?

That instead of using WP or other (disqus) commenting system, comments are only posted to bbPress as forum threads? or something else?

[John James Jacoby]

Discuss bbPress 2.5 here!

[Stephen Edgar]

Out of luck at the moment due to your choice of bbp_user_subscribe_link for your example.

See bbPress Trac Ticket #2418

Generally though take a look in the Codex, there are a few examples to help you out:
eg https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/

[unklee]

I am sorry to say I have uninstalled bbpress because I cannot stop the spam without introducing registration methods that I’m not happy with. If only this plugin could be made to work for bbpress!
