That worked. Tesseract does have an area for “customizing additional CSS” and that is where I put the code you entered.

Incidentally, is there a good plugin to customize my bbPress look and feel?

Thank you very much.

[Robin W]

ok, I think your theme is doing this

this should fix

.reply {
  margin-left: 0 !important;
}

If your theme has a custom css area, then out this in there

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @myrax

Should be something like this:

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form legend {
    background-color: #121212;
    color: #DDDDDD;
}

[nesiditsa]

Hi, dayan89! You should do corrections in core code of bbpress – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5338. After that it needs to run “Recalculate the position of each reply” repair tool (Пересчитать положение каждого ответа – in Russian).

First pass at diagramming bbPress Theme Compat. Have not included info at https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/template-hierarchy-in-detail/ – haven’t read the source code for it nor played with those yet.

SVG embedded in HTML – use Ctrl/Cmd + to zoom in and Ctrl/Cmd - to zoom out. Right click + drag right/left as needed after zooming in.

The arrows showing template partials pointing to the other partials pointing to the main template file/s could be confusing for many. Possibly, itemizing each main template file in association to the partials would be clearer e.g.

/theme-folder
     |__ archive-forum.php
              |__ /bbPress folder 
                        |__ content-archive-forum.php
                                   |__ form-search.php
                                   |__ loop-forums.php
                                   |__ feedback-no-forums.php

Thanks to this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-change-the-color-of-the-text-and-box/ I was able to change a lot of colors, since the theme of my site is dark background with white letters.

There is one code I’m still looking for.
When you reply to a topic, above the large reply field it says ‘Reply to [name of topic].
This text is still in white and it needs to be black.

Can anyone provide me with the right code so I can add this to the custom CSS?
Much appreciated!

Hi, May I know where can I get Function.php file? I couldn’t find it. And is it necessary to paste the code below into the file?

function jm_bbp_shortcodes( $content, $reply_id ) {
return video( $content );
}
add_filter(‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘jm_bbp_shortcodes’, 10, 2);
add_filter(‘bbp_get_topic_content’, ‘jm_bbp_shortcodes’, 10, 2);

This post happened 2 years ago. Is there anything new that I need to do?

[jaroslawistok]

Since are buddypress and bbpress now cooperating I thing there is more compatibility in their Plugins. When I put a media Link to buddypress wall it shows in player (Video and audio).

But bbpress only has an option to embed media which maybe even mostly work but on buddypress the media link than appears as code (Video scr = ….and so).

Why doesn’t bbpress use just mediaelements.js script as core from WP and maybe ads oEmbed instead?

There is no possible to have similar design in both.

eather buddypress shows links in Player or bbpres.
Any Idea?

Also there is a problem to have this also in comments.

jetpack makes also codes. It shows it in player but in buddypress stream again (video src=…)

Is there any solution to have media Links and embedded elements in the same way on buddypress, bbpress and comments?

Thankfully for any Idea :o)

Sorry.
There is no specific function for that. I just wanted to point you to my code so you get the necessary bbp functions that you can call. There is nothing already created for you there, I just wanted to give you some examples about how to handle subscriptions.

[haddlyapis]

Hey,
Where would i find the necessary code in your plugin?

[Pascal Casier]

With my bbP Toolkit plugin an admin or moderator could force that for a specific user.
If you want this automated for an existing forum and the existing topics, you would find the necessary code in my plugin.
But probably you want to somewhere keep a record of the users that clicked this button so that for every new topic, that user also gets subscribed automatically.

Thinking of it, it might be easier to create an extra capability/role, apply them to users that want to have a ‘subscribe-all’ and then on every new topic creation check that and add the subscriptions…

Just some ideas, no codes, but I hope it gives you a start.

Hi,
I am looking for a plugin/piece of code that i can apply to the main forum page so that users can subscribe to all topics and sub-topics in one go.
Can you help?

[John James Jacoby]

This is a classic question/problem, that has many-many possible answers.

Your first resource for improving anything should be what’s available on this codex page:

Improving Performance

Everything that’s on that page should be considered, implemented, and tuned. Most of that isn’t specific to bbPress (and is appropriate even just for most WordPress installs) but plugins like bbPress will show huge improvements with adequate caching available.

* Concurrent users
* Database slowness
* Page load times
* Excessive database queries

Improving each of those 4 things requires tweaking & tuning specific things for your specific hardware setup. And if you’re on shared hosting, you might not be able to change any of that configuration at all.

The “concurrent users” problem that BuddyPress & bbPress sites have is actually a good problem to have – it means people are using your site and participating in your community. Server configuration is critical here, as is having adequate hardware that will be ready to serve those requests to your users.

The reason most WordPress installations don’t have the same problem, is because there are fewer (if any) logged in users interacting with a traditional blog, news, or website without participation. Comments are the only database interaction, and most people disable them these days anyways.

There are companies (such as WeFoster) whose primary focus is on optimizing their hosting environments for active communities. They’ll offer all of the above and more to help you tune specific things.

In my experience, it’s easier to identify a specific performance concern, and improve that one thing until you’re happy enough to move onto the next concern.

untested, but this should work

args['before'] = '<div class="list">' ;

return $args ;

If you only want to change it on your local installation, you can read the codex on https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/

Thank you! That’s what I need.

[Pascal Casier]

So it’s display only ? But the input of the topics and replies is happening somewhere in a ‘normal’ bbPress forum, right ?

I think you need to create a theme that only displays what you need. It will be easier then just displaying everything with the shortcodes.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Custom bbPress Theme

[Pascal Casier]

$args is only the 3rd argument of the bbp_get_reply_admin_links function !
So if you want to deal with the args, it should be:

function hw_get_reply_admin_links ($retval, $r, $args) {
$args = array (
			'before' => '<div class="list">',
			'after'  => '</div>',
);
return $retval;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_admin_links', 'hw_get_reply_admin_links', 10, 3 );

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
It’s a bit difficult to understand where this is coming from (it might be part of your theme), so if the site is publically availalble, a link to it might be nice.

It might be that following point 3 of this codex page will help you: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/

[theredeclipse]

Thanks a lot, it works now! I’ve removed “class=”bbp-author-” and rest of the code doesn’t display so its suits perfectly for me.

Now I trying to change args of bbp_get_reply_admin_links (stored in bbpress/includes/replies/template.php)

Thats my hook

function hw_get_reply_admin_links ($args) {
$args = array (
			'before' => '<div class="list">',
			'after'  => '</div>',
);
return $args;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_admin_links', 'hw_get_reply_admin_links' );

What’s wrong here?

[DessertGuru]

I’m going to use bbPress but via shortcodes so that only topics and posts within the topics are displayed on pages. I don’t want the full Forum Root, Forums, Topics etc., displayed on a page. so I’m going to create individual pages for each topic assign the bbpress shortcode for the topic and posts. So is it really necessary to do page/slug assignments in bbpress setup and have the full thing displayed even though I’m not going to use the full bbpress forum display structure and I certainly don’t want to the public to see it.

or does anyone have any other suggestions on how to accomplish this?

The “forum” will the individual Page, the Topic will be the posts from users on the assigned page. there won’t be an actual “topic” for each forum since the forum is the topic.

Hi,
bbPress translation is centralized here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/ru/default

If you want to propose a new translation so everybody in the world that uses it in Russian gets your update (when it gets approved), then you can do that using the above link.

If you only want to change it on your local installation, you can read the codex on https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/
