Hello there,

I am tearing my hair out to try and change the with of this forum block (area in white) on my site. It is far too small and want it to be wider.

http://khalsaspad.com/forums/

If one then clicks on “Traders talk forum” the width changes to a wider width.

If you then click on “Trading rules and motivation” it changes to a different width again.

How can I change the change the width of the area in white on all the forum blocks to be nice and wide?

I am using bbpress 2.4 and WordPress 3.61 with the picochic theme.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance.

Hello there!

There has feature of Page Attributes and we can choose [full width page (no sidebar) on Pages & Post. but cannot do it on BBpress Forum.

So How can I do it on the bbpress Forums?

thanks

This is not loaded by bbPress, probably some other kind of plugin or theme doing this.

[Xevo]

If it is a paid plugin they should be offering faster support in my opinion.

I had the same problem with a plugin a while back too, unfortunately it’s not a problem that bbPress has to resolve. In my case I just rewrote the other plugin.

You can edit the theme files and remove it from there.

Here’s more info about editing the bbPress theme files.

You can find your answer here.

@tecca can you explain more in depth what i should do if i don’t have the bbPress.css in my theme? Copy which file and where do it put it in my theme files? thanks for helping – i’m new.

I figured out how to do this and more, unfortunately I have found little documentation about using the extras folder in the BBPress template files and how really wonderful they are for advanced customization without the use of additional hooks.

EXTRAS Folder located at:
plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras

To increase the amount of items you can customize in your bbpress theme, copy pages from out of here and paste them into the folder:
plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

In this case I needed to customize the individual topic page titles so I copied single-topic.php from out the extras folder pasted it into the bbpress folder. Then I opened up my theme’s page.php file and compared which style, entry-content, and container tags needed to be pasted into the single-topic.php page. I then exchanged bbp_topic_title() for bbp_forum_title() and styled it with my default WordPress styling tags and placed the topic title below it in a smaller more reasonable font than my site’s default .entry-title style.

The end result is the topic page displaying the forum name up at the top in the site-standard page styling with the topic title below it in a smaller reasonable font, as topics are generally WAY LONGER and should not be styled with the site’s main title styles by default.

I’m a administrator on my site and I can’t change my own role on bbPress forums, when I go to users > my profile in the dashboard there is no option to change my the role, but the option is present on all the other users, what’s wrong? running last version od bbpress, buddypress and wp.
disabling all the plugins changes nothing

[BuckyOHare]

The problem is topics tend to be much longer than forum names or general pages on my wordpress site and need to be styled differently than a default .entry-title css. I imagine this could be done with a filter or by altering a core file of bbpress. I don’t know how to create a specific filter for this job though.

If I can’t do that then I’d like to be able to at least not display the topic title on the topic page but I can’t seem to differentiate .entry-title css from any bbpress specific page title attributes and end up just altering all wordpress page titles in the process.

Also FYI, I just downgraded to bbPress 2.3.2 and everything works great. Seems to be some kind of issue with 2.4.

[tc2013]

I have the exact same problem – WP 3.6.1, bbPress 2.4. Any edit or reply to topic loads the whole post html into the window. Also have tried deactivating all other plugins etc. with no results.

Can anyone help us with this issue? Pretty frustrated at this point..

[Daniel J. Lewis]

Is there any way to bulk-move topics?

I run a Once Upon a Time podcast and forums with bbPress. We have a spoiler section for each episode of the TV show. After that episode has aired, I like to move the spoiler topics into the main discussion for the TV show. This was easy with phpBB, but bbPress doesn’t seem to offer this feature.

When I go to Admin > Topics and filter the list by a forum parent, I have no options for changing that forum parent or moving the topics in any way.

How can I do this easily on a regular basis? Editing each topic individually is not practical.

bbpress version is actually 2.4. I accidentally took that # from another plugin.

[seamtv]

I am having the same problem with bbPress 2.4.
In my case, I am also using buddypress (1.8.1) with Group forums.
The interplay between hidden groups in bbPress and buddypress hidden groups is a bit confusing. Buddypress allows for granular membership levels in its Group forums (for unlimited and different sets of members), whereas bbPress does not (only three levels of membership). This appears to be wreaking havoc with my security settings. For example, anything posted in a buddypress hidden forum is appearing in my sitewide activity – even to non-logged in members. I suspect this may have something to do with the conflict I describe above (because the bbPress forum is ‘Public’, even though the buddypress Group is ‘hidden’).
I look forward to a fix soon.

Hi, we have installed the follow:
WordPress Network version 3.6.1
bbPress version 2.4

I do not have found some way to prevent the instant publish of topics and replies loaded by Participants.
There is a way, to do the approval for the publish of the topics and replies by the Blog Administrator or by Blog Editor ?

[Stephen Edgar]

BuddyPress’ forums are powered by bbPress. BuddyPress doesn’t include forums.

I am not familiar enough to answer the ‘images in activity’ hopefully you can find something on https://buddypress.org/support/

[Haris Zulfiqar]

This has been a long standing issue.

The problem here is that, in the user profile favorites page, only topics that are created by the user and marked as favorite shows up. Any topic that is not created by the user and marked as favorite will not show up in user profile page.

Is this by design or is this a bug?

I am using WordPress default theme with only bbPress plugin.

[jayce103]

Hey everyone.

I really could do with some help as I am trying to see if BBPress is the way forward.

I want to show images inline on the activity feed. Is this possible? I know it can be done in buddypress but want to use BBPress.

As a sub question. What are the benefits of using BBPress over BuddyPress? I can add friends, post in groups etc with BP so why use forums inside groups?

Any help or advice deeply appreciated peeps.

Jayce

I am using WordPress 3.6.1 with plugins Buddypress 1.8.1 and bbpress 2.3. I am trying to import the latest topics and replies from specific bbpress forums into specific wordpress pages.

I started with a Mysql query:

$query=”SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘topic’ OR post_type = ‘reply’ ORDER BY post_date DESC”;

Then (in pseudo code) I planned to do the following:

// since forum is a parent of topic which is a parent of reply
// if post is topic get forum id
// if post is reply get forum id from the parent of the topic
//create an array of latest topics and replies associated with their forums
//print latest topics and replies for each forum to different wordpress pages.

The problem I cannot seem to solve is – where to get the name of the forum from? Without getting the name of the forum from somewhere in the database, my only option would seem to be to hardcode the forum id’s of each forum with their respective names. Which means every time a new forum is created this needs to be added in manually in the code. None of the tables I see in the wp database seems to contain the names of the different forums. Even if one of the other tables did contain it I am still not sure how I would then associate the forum id’s from the wp_posts table with the forum names from another table – presumably I would have to do some kind of join? Or maybe I am going about it completely the wrong way – is anyone able to help an inexperienced developer out of his depth navigate his way through this problem?

Hi,

I’m currently installing a BBpress forum.

I’ve two problems :

-I can’t change the “visibility” of a forum or a category : It’s doesn’t save the change.
Have you any idea to fix this problem ?

And also, I want to know if is possible to “separate” the different category of my BBpress forum since a PHPBB forum ?

Thank’s !

@bigblueball Can I ask why you left vBulletin for bbPress?

I’m looking for an alternative to bbPress because I can’t fix it, it doesn’t work well and has poor support documentation.

I don’t want to make the same mistake again and so I’d appreciate a little feedback on vBulletin.

Thanks

I checked the code of this plugin and it uses a filter on bbp_has_forums that tries to catch the $args from the original query but they are not transmitted through the filter in bbPress, so it uses the default ones and doesn’t take care of the post_parent argument. You should try to contact the author of the plugin, maybe he can alter the query without parsing all args again. The Codex says it is possible with $query->set().
