think this needs raising with Divi who say their theme works with bbpress.

If you get an answer, do post back here, it will help me help others

[ollietubb1]

I would like to add a title banner to all my forum pages so that it is consistent with the rest of the website.

This page is an example of what I would like it to look like – wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forum-home/ – this is created with Divi though with shortcodes which doesn’t work so this is just for visual representation.

So, I think I am after a way to inject this title banner into the forum pages, perhaps using the functions.php file, I am not entirely sure but would really appreciate some guidance on how to crack this.

This is my current forum layout – wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/

Thanks so much,
Ollie

PS. I am using latest version of WP and bbPress.

Hi there,

I hope someone can help. I have an issue with these two bbPress pages.

See here example: wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/users/ollie-tubb/

It picks up the divi default formatting rather than the structure of the other pages, see example here: wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/advice/finance/

It needs to sit in the same style template but I don’t know how to do this. I am using Divi theme but i am using the bbPress default set-up (not shortcodes).

Help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ollie
PS. I am using latest version of WP and bbPress.

The changelog page https://codex.bbpress.org/releases/ is not mentioning version 2.6.8 nor 2.6.9. and links to blog are not working.
Would be handy if that would be accurate.
The blog is ok though.
Thanks.

bbpress (here and on your site) uses the gravatar system, so upload you pic to there

https://en.gravatar.com/

or for your site you can also use a wordpress upload plugin such as

WP User Avatars

it could be a theme or plugin issue

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Thank you Robin, it is a he said she said thing now. I didn’t think it was native to BBPress and just wanted to verify. I will dig deeper and see if there is a plugin that allowed it and go from there. Thanks for the response.

[Robin W]

not in native bbpress, hence why I was asking how they were doing this – might be a buddypreess thing, or code added.

‘the recent update’ – which update ? bbpress 2.6.9 was released over 2 months ago.

I haven’t seen any capability changes in the last few releases

and where exactly are they changing this to blocked?

Hello, I just installed bbPress into our WP site that is running BuddyPress with a Woffice theme for intranet and I have a problem with language localization.

The site language and other settings are set to the Czech language. The bbPress seems to be confused and some things are translated, but some things are still displayed in English. I checked the language file with translations and I can clearly see, that the strings that are shown in English ARE actually translated to Czech.

1/ View on the front end. As you can see, something is in Czech, something in English

screen here > http://folpc.cz/screen11.jpg

2/ For example, the String “CREATE NEW TOPIC IN…” is translated in bbpress-cs_CZ.po like this, which is correct but unfortunately, it is not shown
English > Create New Topic in “%s”
Czech > Vytvořit nové téma ve fóru „%s“

Any suggestions on what to check? Thanks!

[rngeer]

Hello,

I manage a website with BBPress and BuddyPress. I am being told that Moderators are now unable to block users after the recent update. I don’t use it in the front end and wanted to see if anyone knew if there is a setting to allow this at all that may have changed.

Thank you,

[Robin W]

looks like a theme issue- your theme is seeing this url as a post and showing a ‘post excerpt’

try

bbPress WP Tweaks

to see if changing the default wrapper will help

(I’ve posted this previously but it got stuck in moderation, so I’m removing most of the URLs, hope that was the issue.)

I’ve been battling this bug for months now and it’s driving me up the wall.

When a forum user has more than one page of forum topics or replies, the pagination links do not generate correctly.

Take this user, for example: …com/members/adaptprep/forums/

For forum topics, the URL that is generated for the page 2 link is:
…com/members/adaptprep/page/2/
when it should be
…com/members/adaptprep/forums/topics/page/2/

For forum replies, the URL that is generated for the page 2 link is:
…com/members/adaptprep/page/2/
when it should be
…com/members/adaptprep/forums/replies/page/2/

I have seen many users with similar issues, but so far no solutions. Can anyone help?

I should say that I simply help out here, I am not a bbpress plugin author, but have several plugins that add to bbpress capability.

Simply they both have registration functions as they are separate plugins, so if you only use one, it is useful to have a registration function, but as I say any WordPress registration function will do the job.

As for my second para, perhaps if I re-phrased it to read as I intended…

Many people do not use both bbpress and buddypress, rather some have just bbpress or just buddypress, but some like to have both – for instance I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites but many have just bbpress.

[restorm]

Thanks, Robin. I understand that both BuddyPress and BBPress create WordPress users. But if Buddypress users and BBpress users are identical, I’m wondering why BBPress has a Forum registration function.

The second part of your response seems to be assuming that I was asking why BuddyPress and BBPress aren’t included in WordPress. I wasn’t asking that. I was asking why Buddypress and BBpress aren’t together in one plugin.

[Robin W]

Buddypress and bbpress just use wordpress registration and login, so any wordpress, buddypress and/or bbpress registration/login will register/log you into all these.

Many people do not need either bbpress or buddypress, but some like to have both – for instance I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites.

[restorm]

I’m creating a new BuddyPress site that will be primarily organized around Groups. Each Group will represent a city, and each Group needs to have multiple Forums (such as for neighborhoods within the city). Two questions, please:
1) How do I create multiple Forums for Groups? When I set up a new Group, it asks if I want the Group to have a Forum. But it says nothing about having more than one Forum.
2) I’m confused about the difference between a BuddyPress user registration and a BBPress Forum user registration. Do I need both? Does the Forum registration just register them for one Forum, or for use of the whole BuddyPress site? If they register in BuddyPress, do they also need to register to take part in a Forum?

In general, I don’t understand why BuddyPress and BBPress are separate plugins. It would make a lot more sense (and be less confusing) if they were all in one plugin, wouldn’t it?

[gene-stevo]

Hi Folks, I’ve used bbPress successfully before but I think I’ve done something wrong this time around.
I’ve added a menu item (for logged in users) to the forums but neither of the new forums displays.
Previously each forum would be displayed one above the other but this time just some search text.
Forums page:https://conwycameraclub.com/forums/
Sample forum when previewed from editor:
https://conwycameraclub.com/forums/forum/general-chit-chat/
or…forum/how-do-i
I’m sure I must have missed something but can’t think what. It appeared so simple last time.
Cheers, Eugene

in short please:
How to access to bbpress dashboard>settings>forums>editing
and when in the ‘editing’ page to which parameter should I look for
thank you

[ronih10]

Thank you,
I have little experience in WP and bbpress.
I accessed as Admin to the WP dashboard, clicked on ‘forums’ and find out that this is not the right place to go.
Please let me know how can I get to the ‘bbpress’ dashboard and when click on ‘edit’ what parameter should I look for in order to set the changes I asked.
Thank you again
