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:
https://www.eeweb.com/forums/topic/easy-to-build-digital-am-fmsw-receiver-dec-2021/
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 😉
sorry, I’m just a bbpress user who helps out – they won’t listen to me 🙂
I finally fixed my forum with another workaround.
I change template.php in topics folder, from
// Pretty permalinks, previously usedbbp_use_pretty_urls()`
// https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3054
if ( false === strpos( $topic_link, ‘?’ ) ) {
$url = trailingslashit( $topic_link ) . bbp_get_edit_slug();
$url = user_trailingslashit( $url );
// Unpretty permalinks
} else {
$url = add_query_arg( array(
bbp_get_topic_post_type() => $topic->post_name,
bbp_get_edit_rewrite_id() => ‘1’
), $topic_link );
}`
I disable permalinks for edit of the topic when It’s Italian
// Pretty permalinks, previously usedbbp_use_pretty_urls()`
// https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3054
if ( false === strpos( $topic_link, ‘?’ ) && strpos($topic_link, ‘/it/’) == false ) {
$url = trailingslashit( $topic_link ) . bbp_get_edit_slug();
$url = user_trailingslashit( $url );
// Unpretty permalinks
} else {
$url = add_query_arg( array(
bbp_get_topic_post_type() => $topic->post_name,
bbp_get_edit_rewrite_id() => ‘1’
), $topic_link );
}`
I hope this helps.

Problem
I want to use bbpress in wordpress to create an anonymous forum.
In the current state, when you try to create a thread, your name and email address (private) are required. Also, there is a website input screen, though it is not required.
It also says, “The following HTML tags and attributes can be used. and
a href, blockquote cite=””, etc. are in blocks, and the HTML in those blocks can be used.
What I want to solve
I would like to remove the name, email address, and website fields, and disable the use of HTML tags.
Please let me know how to solve this.
Please help me.
What I have tried
I searched and searched, but couldn’t find anything.
ok reinstall wordpress and database didnt work :/
Maybe wordpress 5.9 updated something,
Can anyone suggest me a theme that allowed html formatting tool bar of bbpress work. (Only theme I know that have html tool bar is twenty-twenty one)
Or is there anyway I can enable html formatting tool bar for other theme? (Just make sure I have enable it in the setting but most themes do not seems to have it)
Thanks!
ok, so if my solution above does not work, your issue is site specific, so without visiting your site and an example I cannot give you code – in essence I can look at what the browser is receiving and see the correct code needed. You can contact me via my website
Contact me
and give me some access details, and I will try and help further.
However alternately if you know how to use FTP, you could try this
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
you will see that line 16 says
<h2 class="entry-title">@<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_nicename' ); ?></h2>
delete this line and save
then 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/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
this is a known bug.
either
if( !function_exists( 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' ) ){
function bbpress_browser_supports_js() {
echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' );
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file –
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
or use
Code Snippets
or
install
bbp style pack
which has the fix built in
Hello,
After recent update to bbPress 2.6.8 and then to 2.6.9, toolbar disappeared. Despite “Add toolbar & buttons to textareas to help with HTML formatting” is set. It’s too hard for forum users to edit HTML manually. The problem reproduces in Chrome, Edge and Firefox.
Screenshot is here https://imgur.com/a/McIo6p0
Is it possible to fix?
Thank you!
I think I get what you’re saying, but I’m not quite following what to do. I’m sure it’s easy. 🙂
Would I just use– for example– an existing WP installation, and install the latest bbPress as a plugin? Then, once installed in WP as a plugin, I go to bbPress, dashboard > tools > … ?
I presume there will be an “update database” process. Cool. This will be interesting. Backup, of course. 🙂
Thanks!
bbpress now requires wordpress, but you can set these two up with bbpress version 2.x, and then import the bbpress1 forum
so once installed go to
dashboard>tools>forums>import forums and select bbpress1
Hi there. I discovered bbPress circa 2007. I might have updated the version since, and most likely did. I probably stopped using it by 2010. I don’t know how to even determine what version it is (filename ?).
At that time, I was not using WordPress on that domain. I used bbPress as a standalone forum software.
Bottom line: is it possible to upgrade that installation? What would be my steps to at least salvage the db, perhaps install a WordPress and re-use the old bbPress. Quite honestly, just curious.
OK so this is what I got back this time from Elegant Themes (Divi), more promising:-
Hi Ollie 👋
I’m very sorry for the inconvenience, it is a known bug at the moment that the template does not work on the bbpress profile pages. Our dev team is aware of the issue and will fix it in future theme updates. 👍
So, please be advised at the current time bbPress does not work fully with Divi theme. I have asked when the fix will be and will advise as soon as I hear something firm.
Best,
Ollie
it may be a load order issue, try
#bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper h2.entry-title {
display: none !important;
}
Hi,
I’ve tried adding this to the theme css and to the bbpress css and neither worked?
Thanks,
Tess
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
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
