I am trying to do the same change. I want to get rid of the box that says, “THIS FORUM IS EMPTY.” Why does it need to be there? It’s so uninviting.

I am using the forum as a category, which is an option, so why does it insert “THIS FORUM IS EMPTY” when I choose “CATEGORY”? That message should automatically change or disappear when a forum is used as a category. That would be a permanent and logical fix on the developer’s end.

My problem is that I don’t know where to insert the code that you suggested above. Is it on the site dashboard or in the site hosting? Please start the instructions farther back.

Very nice effect, but would require

code to get the required avatars
code to create the required html (the example is using pug not native html)
code to output the html in the right place
code to generate and load the css
and more code to probably wrap all this into a plugin

A ton of work.

Like everything it is possible, probably 2-3 days work to design and implement.

Hi,

Thanks, I’m found Your solution/plugin and it work, but it needs lot of custom css fix. (Sample: the widht, style plugin add %, but i would like use the editor (FSE) widht value.

It’s very strange to me that bbPress, which is an Automatic plugin and isn’t compatible with the WP Core theme. I wouldn’t “expect” a block editor structure, just that it works with shortcodes. And i would like to minimalize the plugins number. =/

[Robin W]

no need to put the forum within the members area

Just make the forum public, say on a page using the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode, or if just one forum then the [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] where $forum_id is the id number of the forum.

and anyone member or not will be able to read it.

Then make sure that in

dashboard>settings>forums>Anonymous the tick box is NOT ticked – then only members (those with wordpress accounts) will be able to post.

[Robin W]

I’ve just taken a look, and you are using Oshin.

Try adding this to the additioanl/custom css part of your theme

.bbpress .reply {
       position: relative !important ;
       top :0px !important;
       right : 0px !important;
}

Using simple HTML and CSS code, you can make your own realistic fake broken screen. So do that you can use AI tool like ChatGPT or Figma.
And Then you can make your own plugin and direct HTML paste.

[casperrues1]

I’m looking to add a creative “broken screen” effect to my bbPress forum. The idea is to make it look like the screen is cracked, either when someone first enters the forum or after performing a specific action.

I’m unsure of the best way to achieve this. Should I use custom CSS or JavaScript to create the effect? Or is there a plugin or feature in bbPress that could help with this?

Any suggestions will be very helpful for me.

Example page: Broken Screen

I’ve explored custom CSS and JavaScript options, and also checked out the following resources:

bbPress

Codex

https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Even after going through these, I’m still unsure of the best way to achieve the effect.

[casperrues1]

I’ve just installed bbPress, but after the installation, I’m getting a white screen when I try to access the forum.

Some things which I have tried so that it get fixed:

Clearing my browser cache
Disabling all plugins (except bbPress)
Checking for errors in the wp-config.php file
Reinstalling bbPress

I’ve checked these resources, but they didn’t resolve the issue:

Codex

The white screen still shows up, and I’m not getting any error messages. Has anyone else faced this issue or have any suggestions?

Hi, my forum actually only has one forum, so I would like disable the /forums archive page. I also use the shortcode and add all topics to my front page, so I /topics this archive page becomes redundant.

Currently, I just 301 them but is there any more elegant way to simply disable them using php?

Thank you!

[Robin W]

that will be theme dependent.

you may be able to use the function is_bbpress()

[Robin W]

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
if ($domain!='bbpress') return $translated_text ;
  $translated_text = str_replace('Forum', 'Elephant', $text) ;
return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

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

Hello,

I am creating my forum site and ideally I do not want the user profile to be clickable is there a setting or some code I can add to disable the links to the user profile/author links? If that isn’t an option does anyone know how I would adjust the styling within elementor for these pages and build a template for it?

[mastersofphotography]

I’ve also tried the following:

– Deactivating Elementor + Elementor Pro.
– Added the code in then last step on this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-elementor/
– – I’m not sure that thread is super relevant to my situation. I didn’t try putting any templates at all.

I’m also experimenting with adding a brand new WP install at /forum/, and managing the forums as a separate CMS instance.

[Robin W]

thanks,

1. so can you confirm that with the footer option set at

'If you are using shortcodes in your footer, this option should ensure they display correctly '

The shortcode in the footer works.

2. on the GCS problem, does this only happen on ‘forum’ pages, or is it throughout the site?

[Robin W]

ok, I need to to go back to standard footer to see if this fixes the gce issue as per previous post

So as a further test if you did not have the conflict with gse before, can you select the ‘standard footer’ option in the style pack theme settings and whilst this will give you back the original shortcode problem, does it fix the gse problem, that will get me closer to the problem code !

[yt]

Yes, I enabled the option:

If you are using shortcodes in your footer, this option should ensure they display correctly

in the previous update you provided and it is still enabled.

[yt]

Thank you very much for your time spent solving my and others’ problem.

In response to your questions, it should be stated:

1- Yes, I cleared the cache on the server and the browser before the last test.

2- To be sure, I also tested the site with four browsers: Chrome, Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera, and they display the same error.

3- To clear up any doubts, I deleted the site in Google Custom Search and recreated it.

When we haven’t made any customizations yet, the code works fine, but as soon as we make a customization, such as changing the color of the search box from white to black, the problem appears.

4- Since I had placed the code in the header section under the header navigation, the problem occurred. I also tested the code in other parts of the site, such as the sidebar, but the problem remains.

5- Unfortunately, I didn’t understand what you meant by the “Select standard footer” option in the theme settings of the style pack” because I basically don’t know where it is located. If possible, please tell me how to access it so I can do it.

[Robin W]

this is related to the country part of your url

so

https://telium.io/topic/usb-license-on-hyper-v-guest/

does exist, but the link above is

https://telium.io/en/topic/usb-license-on-hyper-v-guest/

which has the ‘en’ part in it, and resolves to a 404

[Robin W]

no problem, I’m just a guy sat in his kitchen trying to help others – happy to see if we can resolve.

Can you confirm that you have cleared cache on both server and browser before the latest test. If so…

At the moment I am trying to work out which bit of code is causing the issue, and your test eliminated one area.

So as a further test if you did not have the conflict with gse before, can you select the ‘standard footer’ option in the style pack theme settings and whilst this will give you back the original shortcode problem, does it fix the gse problem, that will get me closer to the problem code !

[yt]

Yes, the shortcode is only displayed for logged in users.
But the problem of not changing the color of the shortcode in the forum footer as I explained earlier remains.

[yt]

With many apologies
Regarding the shortcode problem, I forgot to mention that this problem was tested in four browsers, and the results are as follows:

A- In the Chrome browser, there is no problem of not displaying, but there is a problem of not being able to color, that is, when I place the extension shortcode inside the shortcode block and then place this block inside the group block and give it a color, for example, red, the shortcode is displayed correctly in the footer of the site with red color, but in the forum, the shortcode color is not applied.

B- In the Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera browsers, it is not displayed at all.

[yt]

2- With the update of the bbp style pack plugin to the new version, a new problem appeared related to the Google Search Custom activation code (gsc) on a personal site, explaining that:
I use the gsc code in the Custom HTML block in the site header to activate Google Search on the site.

Before updating the above plugin, there was no problem in executing the above code on the site and forum, but as soon as the plugin was updated and even before activating
If you are using shortcodes in your footer, this option should ensure they display correctly
It was observed that the words #gsc.tab=0 were added to the end of every address, including the site and forum, such as

خانه

and
https://ghazavatonline.ir/forums/#gsc.tab=0

and
https://ghazavatonline.ir/concept-corruption-and-prostitution-in-article-639-islamic-penal-code-tazirat/

This problem is such that it cannot be solved by disabling the add-on and inevitably the entire code from the above block must be deleted, which I also inevitably deleted.

It is also worth mentioning that, to make sure that the recent problem is related to the bbp style pack plugin, I created a test site and activated the previous version of the plugin and used the Google code. There was no problem with the site and forum addresses, but after updating the plugin, it was noticed that the problem with the mentioned addresses appeared.

Is it possible to solve the recent problem in particular?

Thank you for all your hard work and honest efforts.

[yt]

Hello Mr. Rubin
Thank you for your efforts in solving the problem and updating the plugin.
Since it was not possible to send the entire answer at once, I will send it in two parts:

1- I updated the plugin and enabled the option
If you are using shortcodes in your footer, this option should ensure they display correctly
but unfortunately the problem of not displaying the shortcode in the footer of the site and the forum was not resolved and still remains, which you can see on the site and the forum at the following address:

خانه

and
https://ghazavatonline.ir/forums/

* It is worth mentioning that, with the plugin update, the problem of not being able to view all templates in the site editor section, which I had previously announced, was also resolved. I do not know if it was related to the shortcode problem or if you fixed it separately. In any case, thank you very much for fixing this problem.

Hello,
No links, as we are not yet far enough to be stuck there, but the website is a wildlife travel blog and marketplace (as well as members area). I am using a plugin called Armember to create a few members areas within my site. I am using bbpress for much of the stuff that the members can do (mostly discussion forums of various kinds)

I am looking for two things, I found small plugin extensions for BBpress for each, but both have generated errors, and the second crashed the whole website.

Firstly, I am looking for a plugin which will list all contributions that a member makes, on their profile page. There are going to be a variety of forums as well as direct contact, but I am eager to allow people to have a kind of simple blog within their profile. I found “posts on profile” plugin to do this. This way, any post made on any forum, will be listed. Does anyone known another plugin which would do the same thing? Posts on profile is 10 years old, and so not surprisingly, it is causing errors. Alternatively, is there some sort of code I can add, which will do the job without a plugin? cant believe that this is a rare need?

The other thing I was looking for, was the ability for readers to be able to rank posts – BBp core has this capability, but on installing BBp core, the whole website crashed instantly. As such, rather than trying to work out what plugin is crashing with it, it is likely to be better to find another. I am simply wanting to be able to give people the ability to rank other peoples posts, so that we can sort on a sensible metric (this cant be unique to BBP Core)

Any help greatly appreciated.
