Hello

On the site I am working on (not yet live) we are using BBpress Forums integrated with a Buddypress installation. Both the Buddypress Group and associated BBPress Forums are marked Hidden.

Users with Group Role as Member can properly see the Forums when viewing directly.

The issue comes to when we try to have users view the Forums via Short Code.

Only those with a Group Role of Moderator or higher can see the forum via Short Code.

WP is 3.6, bbPress 2.4, BuddyPress 1.8.1

Allowing others to create accounts for your forum.

I had problems with this (various instructions skipped steps or were vague), so once I worked it out I thought it might be helpful here.

Install BB press as per the instruction

Once you have activate the plugin on your WordPress Dashboard (Plugins > Installed pluggins > activate) you should get a welcome message. At the bottom of that screen is a link to follow to alter your basic forum settings (or if you have closed that screen: Settings > Forums from your dashboard). Set them as you like.

You will now have a new section of your Dashboard – Forums. Hover over Forums then select ‘add new’. Name your forum etc.

Now create 3 new website pages on your website. ‘Forums’, ‘New users’ and ‘Lost password’. On the New Users page copy the following text exactly [bbp-register]
On the lost password page put this text: [bbp-lost-pass]
Remember to update/upload the pages.

Now go to Appearance > Widgets. Drag and drop the ‘BBloggin Widget’ into your side bar (on the left. Make sure you have the side bar activation in Appearance > Customize > Layout).

The widget will pop open and ask for 2 urls. Put the URLs of your new New Users page in the Register box and the lost password page in Lost password box. Click save at the bottom of the widget box.

Go to http://www.’yourdomain.com/forums and you should see your new forum, with a login widget at the side. Click the register link and it should take you to a form other people can fill in to create a new account (you may be logged in to your forum already, so either log out, or try it on someone else’s computer. Just to check it works.

Hi Xevo, many thanks is correct…

Regards…

[Tecca]

Find this in your bbpress.css file:

#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

Within that, there will be font-size: 12px. Change the pixel number to a higher value.

The bbPress.css will be located in your bbPress folder in your plugins. If you don’t have the bbPress.css in your theme, copy that file and put it into a folder called “css” directly with of your theme files.

bbp_is_search()

[Xevo]

Haven’t tested it, but this should force all the content (or at least most of it) to take over your themes font-size.

#bbpress-forums { font-size: inherit !important; }
div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags { font-size: inherit !important; }
#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 { font-size: inherit !important; }
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li { font-size: inherit !important; }

Hi all, in wordpress we can use is_search to define if page is for search results, is possible to use one function like these in bbpress?

For example i want to not show siderbar in bbpress search, what function i can use?

if…?

Thanks for your time…

[Xevo]

Try removing bbpress and uploading 2.4 manually via ftp.

Make a database backup before removal though.

Does anyone have experience running bbPress (WP plugin) on LiteSpeed? Could you share your experience?

Apache was too sluggish for us so we moved to nginx but we really do miss .htaccess

Hi.

I have a site with WordPress+bbPress 2.0

Today I tryied to upgrade bbPress from 2.0 to 2.4 and all our forum topics are not shown now.
I have a custom theme.

I’m not sure if I have done well this bbPress upgrade: I just deactivate current bbPress rename bbpress folder to _bbpress to maintain old version just in case, download new bbPress from site and upload and uncompress, so now both versions of bbPress appears on WordPress administrator: 2.0 deactivated and 2.4 activated.

I tryied to rename premalinks of forum and topics as I read this could fix this issue, but not on my case.

Any help?

Thank you.

@csotelo Most excellent dude…. That said, I made one too 🙂

You can grab the latest revision from https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2402

The main differences are:

• Forums
• Updated code formatting and inline docs
• Uses kunena_categories.parent_id for Forum parent ID
• Imports Forums topic & reply counts
• Uses kunena_categories.alias for forum slug (seo)
• Includes Category/Forum forum type input & callback method
• Includes Open/Closed forum status & callback method
• Topics
• Ahmmm

Ok, I just stopped at ‘Topics’ as there are quite a few differences there, I based mine on Kunena v3.0.1 Forums, What version are you importing from?
(There are some significant changes here)

[Nykess]

Hmm, my theme was already responsive; it must somehow be interacting with the changes that were made. 🙁

[Stephen Edgar]

@nykess bbPress 2.4 included some updates to make it responsive as detailed here.

[Nykess]

On mobile, portrait view, username/role/etc. aren’t left-aligned and have a margin-top of 0.

This could be my theme, but it wasn’t this way prior to the most recent update.

Thanks.

P.S. Avatars don’t show on mobile. How can they be enabled?

[Stephen Edgar]

@akgt “all posts and topics have the same titles” this is fixed in bbPress 2.4

@kcurlsjr This is a known issue on forum visibility, details are in ticket #2408 and a possible workaround is in this thread

[John James Jacoby]

Fixed already for 2.4.1; I’ll release next week.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2405

[John James Jacoby]

A bug, fixed in trunk and will be part of 2.4.1 next week.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2405

Sorry about that.

I did make a new topic 3 weeks ago and it got zero replies: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-profile-url-uses-the-username-can-that-be-changed/

I am really stuck…

[guly]

I’m trying to import a bbpress 1.0.2 forum to the latest version of WordPress-bbpress (2.4). It has 37,000 topics, which all seem to import OK and look good. But when the importer is importing replies, it seems to stall out around 70,000. It gets slower and slower until it’s a crawl.

I’m wondering if this is due to the wp_bbp_converter_translator table that apparently is created to help translate the standalone bbPress posts into WordPress? This table is now 500,000 lines already. Or is there some other explanation? Is it because I am using bbPress 1.0.2?

[Justin Tadlock]

It looks to me like bbp_title() is overwriting the title when it’s not a bbPress page. Since bbp_title is a filter on wp_title, it should bail and return the original title when it’s not a bbPress page.

That’s my best guess from a quick look over the code. I’m not familiar enough with the bbPress code base to know for sure though.

[kedinn]

Just install bbpress and widget disappear from my topic

my web site is http://www.comoprogramar.org

please help: (

[Xevo]

@johnjamesjacoby @netweb Just calling out.

[Xevo]

This was just a rough draw, but like Tecca said, you should put it in style.css or the proper bbpress replacement stylesheet.

[Xevo]

Have you tried disabling all other plugins and running a standard wordpress theme?

I doubt this is a problem with bbPress.

[Xevo]

Had this problem a while back too, with me it was caused by a plugin auto activated by Page.ly.

Have you tried doing a clean install on a wamp or something like that?
