Hopefully this will be setup for you soon:

i want use wordpress and bbpress forum in…

[ozgurpolat]

Hi Stephen ( @netweb ), I spent my whole sunday afternoon setting up two test sites where in one of them (http://kooksjournal.net/forums/) I have bbpress 2.5 and in the other one (http://kooksjournal.com/forums/) I have bbpress 2.3.2 installed. I created two users for bothsites.

“guest” user is a subscriber, “test” user is the admin. they both have the same password “welcome”

if you login as “guest” user and visit this forum: http://kooksjournal.net/forums/forum/science-technology/welcome-to-the-science-technology-forum/

you will see that the css is broken, but if you login as admin “test” you will see that the page displays normally.

if you do the same for this forum: http://kooksjournal.com/forums/forum/science-technology/welcome-to-the-science-technology-forum/

you will see that there is no css problem for both “guest” and the “test” user. I hope this helps.

Hello, after importing from a phpBB forum where I had custom BBCodes I have the problem that they are not changed in actual html.
I would like to know how can I implement such custom bbcodes in my bbpress installation.

I did some tries making a custom plugin with something like this inside (this is just an example):

function bb_table_replace( $text ) {
$text = preg_replace('/\[tabella\](.*?)\[\/tabella\]/ie', "<table>$1</table>", $text);
return $text;
}
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 'bb_table_replace');

But I had no luck. It seems however to find my regexp pattern but its replace is wrong, it’s made after the matched pattern (adding to it, instead of replacing).

Any help?

Just tried to install 2.5 on WP 3.7.1 and can’t get it to consistently appear. I know it’s something related to permissions, just can’t fix it.

If I attempt to apply Administrator permissions to my account, the BBPress menu on top and on the left will suddenly appear. As long as my permissions in the db are set t a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;} the menu shows up.

The moment I attempt to click on anything such as Add Forum (which attempts /wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=forum), I notice BBPress changes my permissions to a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;} and the menu options vanish. If these are the top-level permissions, why is it removing menu options and telling me everything is invalid? Is this even compatible with 3.7.1?

I disable the toolbar for users – it always looks like an add-on and clashes with the theme style

I use a sidebar, and put the login widget on it.

I then customise the login widget as per item 3 of

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Robin W]

Yes use buddypress and bbPress together.

For how to do this see this excellent video

crzyhrse – I am in the process of trying to improve the documentation – I started using wordpress & bbPress earlier this year and am still learning. This is community software, and community documentation, so I am trying to do my bit by helping the documentation side, and by spending time on the forum helping others where I can. The step by step guides I am writing are designed to fit the bill of “cohesive simple directions”, but if they are failing or you haven’t found them, then they are not working as planned. Let me know and I’ll try to improve layout and/or content, but I need good feedback to do this.

The text change suggested by renai42 works (with a small change) if done to the bbpress.css.

Can I ask you to look at

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

and the styling crib

bbPress Styling Crib

I’ve just tested and added Renai’s css so look there for what to use.

If you can improve wording or content to help others – please let me know what could be better phrased.

If it doesn’t work, come back with what you did, and I’ll see if I can help further

Hey guys,

Can I ask, are you comfortable with changing font sizes on a WordPress website? Regardless of bbPress.

If so then it’s exactly the same. If you wanted to you could even create a section inside your main themes style sheet for bbPress specific styles.

Good luck!

Hi,
In posts, my theme only has page-navigation at the bottom.
I added it also at the top of posts, no problem

The issue is that now there is also a (sort of) page-navigation at the top of every page in the bbpress plugin part, which I don’t want of course.

How do I exclude the added code from showing on the bbpress pages (the whole plugin pages for that matter)

Thanks, Ron
WP: 3.7.1
bbPress: 2.5

Nevermind, solved it:
SOLVED:
Had to put it inbetween:

<?php if ( is_singular('post') ) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>

[Robin W]

bbPress can do all the above.

See

Codex

for a step by step guide.

Can bbpress be configured to require registration before posting?

Yes, and you may want to set a manual registration if you want to vet who joins. The documentation explains.

Are there additional plugins?

Yes, lots of them that’ll let you add stuff to the forum and customise it for you

[crzyhrse]

OK, I have been at this off and on for days, trying to find how to merely, easily, simply change font sizes in bbpress…

I tried as best I could to do as directed here by Jared… It doesn’t work…

I concur with renai, the attitude of many moderator responses with brief, vague, inexplicable, information lacking answers, and the seeming total lack of any easily findable cohesive simple directions to do much of anything…

Come on- How much more basic and normal can it be, to want to change font sizes…??

[Asynaptic]

Both of these new discussion forum implementations have great new ideas that can be incorporated into bbPress. And they both have integration plugins for wordpress users:

https://moot.it/
https://moot.it/docs/wordpress.html

http://www.discourse.org/
https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse

Some of the features are already implemented in BP and bbPress, like the notifications mention feature (@name). Many others would be great to implement (like, “remember your place” which stores where you read up to in the thread so when you return you don’t have to remember or scroll to it).

Anyway, just wanted to open up the topic as I don’t think it has been discussed at all previously.

[mouffles]

I’m sorry but the devs should really correct this, cause it’s a bad ux for forum users, i found many thread talking about this specifical issue since 2 years (-_-) and it’s has never been corrected :

Not taken to correct page after posting to long topic

Permalinks for replies on long topics lose /page/ and number

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2291

I will bump the topic since i have a correct answer to this issue.

[MediaSVI]

I just installed the latest WordPress and BBpress and the forum opens fine on a computer but when you open it on a mobile device it does not open and I get “oh brother there are no forums found”?

[justsayno1]

No worries, I like putting up answers like this because people have done the same for me and it was a life saver. Also I feel like this is something that bbpress should just be able to do through the admin panel so I thought I would help out any one who wants to not expose their users real names to everybody.

This is not a bbpress css problems.. you can modify css.. create a folder named css in your theme folder and copy and paste bbpress.css here…

Bbpress use for future the css in your template, you can modify css and when bbpress being updated css remaining same..

Remove clear none and show all replies in your user profile!!

[jeepdon]

Well, to be fair, *I* don’t use it, bbPress.css came that way. I’d prefer not to modify bbpress.css since it’ll become an ongoing maintenance thing every time the plugin is updated. If it’s a problem, I’d like to see it fixed.

[FreeWPress]

Why you use clear none?

#bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper fieldset.bbp-form {
    clear: none;
}

Re: http://powershell.org/wp/forums/users/dlwyatt/replies/

You’ll notice that the container for the page content is getting a 0px width and massive height calculated. The CSS style #bbp-forums has an “overflow: hidden;” style. Removing that style element fixes the display – but I’d like some confirmation that this is indeed a bug? The content in this specific case has a lot of PRE/CODE styling, so I’m not sure if there’s some weird interaction going on that I just can’t figure out.

The container in question is a ul#topic-0-replies, classed with .forums and .bbp-replies. The overflow attribute I’m referring to is coming right from the top of bbpress.css.

Note that I’m using the default styling/theming for BBP.

First, Inspiration Point (http://www.inspiration-point.org) is using a child version of TwentyEleven. I’m using the latest WordPress software.

I did some reading and I’m liking what I am hearing about the bbpress forum plugin. On my site, there is area that I’m calling Shore Classified. Here’s what I’d like to do:

Shore Classified is born out of a frustration I had with my church. It’s not because they didn’t want to put a request on the church’s mailing list. It had to do with limited resource and wary of unwanted advertisements. I’m not the only one

Why not create a place where people can posts “blog updates”, “Christian business”, “Church Events”, “Help Wanted” and etc. My initial thought is to limit this to a region. It can easily be expanded.

I, obviously want to be careful and it’s why I didn’t jump on it. 🙂 Are there additional plugins? How can I best set the forum to safeguard against unwanted trolls? Can bbpress be configured to require registration before posting?

There are probably other questions that I should be asking. I’d appreciate some inputs. Thanks in advance.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481#comment:7 I made a comment and reverted back to 2.5.0

[FreeWPress]

@inetbizo There is a patch for this issue: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2481

[MediaSVI]

If i got my forums click on forum and then click on a thread my bread crumbs read like this:

Home › Topic › This is a Test

They should read:

Home › Forum › Control Ants > This is a Test

If I click on “Topic” I get a 404 error.

I did install the BBPress String wrap plugin but that did not help and I have no idea how to edit it.

Goto to this page and click on the stick thread and you will see what i am talking about.

How can i fix this?

Thank you for your time.
