If you create a page with the same slug as your forum index, you can use either the [bbp-forum-index] or [bbp-topic-index] shortcode in your page content to output the list you desire.

bbPress won’t complain, and you’ll be able to customize the page title and content if you desire.

It’s not exactly a hidden trick, but it’s what we use here on bbPress.org and seems to work OK. If that approach is creating a broken breadcrumb, that’s definitely a bug.

Hi, i have the same exact problem.
I don’t really know why everybody isn’t tagging this as an issue. As far as i can see, it’s just nog a logical way to do it.

– on the one hand, a forum index is created by default, but cyou can’t use it on it’s own if you want to start customizing things.
– So you need to make a page and put the index in there.
– On the other hand, you can’t easily specify what your page for the root is, so there is no way to let the breadcrumbs be redirected to the index page.

– Are there other options? because the enormous bit of code to fix it is a bit too complex for me.

Hello,

I try to import my phpBB 3.2.0 (latest stable version) to bbPress (latest version 2.5.12) using the default import tool in the WordPress 4.7.2 backend. The phpBB is clean, no mods / plugins or custom styles. I get this error:

Repair any missing information: Continue

WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]
CREATE TABLE MNmAD_bbp_converter_translator ( meta_id mediumint(8) unsigned not null auto_increment, value_type varchar(25) null, value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default ‘0’, meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join (meta_key(191), meta_value(191)) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;

No data to clean

Starting Conversion

I don’t know any MySQL so I don’t understand what to do. If relevant here the collations used: utf8_bin (phpBB) and utf8mb4_general_ci (WordPress).

Any suggestions?

I deployed the bbpress plugin.
on the Lost Password page, using the Lost password shortcode, I cannot finalise the action to do a lost password. get an error message that says that captcha has not been entered.
Problem: captcha is not even on the screen.
Note: it is however on the WordPress Lost Password screen.

Any help on how to get the captcha feature on the Lost password bbpress functionality?

Great, so the root issue of this topic is now resolved, awesome +1

I suspect the redirects are caused by the juggling in the ST_tweak_trash_meta_caps() function, I’d look there, most of that code shouldn’t be required.

p.s. Note, I only cut and pasted your code to test, I didn’t look closely or test beyond what I needed to test 🙂

[malburke]

I may look into that, although I must admit I have very basic knowledge of code.

Thank you for all of your consideration.

[Robin W]

untested as I’m short of time this evening but…

create a directory in your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, 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-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

if you take out line 44 which says

<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>

Then sub forums will not be listed

[Robin W]

hmm, just been thinking about this.

Displaying topics and replies would require some filters, but stopping widgets/searches etc. from picking up these topics would require much more.

In effect it would be my private groups plugin re-written to topic level.

Lots of code I think, and beyond time I currently have available.

[Robin W]

ok, that is a bit like asking me how to open your car’s hood – it’s fine to tell me that you have a Nissan Navara, but since I don’t have one I don’t know how your car does that !!

Since your theme is paid, I can’t look, so the following is a guess

I would suggest you theme has a setting in css like :

blockquote::before {
  color: #ccc;
  content: open-quote;
  font-size: 4em;
  line-height: 0;
  margin-right: 15px;
  vertical-align: -0.5em;
}

so you could reduce the font-size to say 2em.

[Stephen Edgar]

@sallyruchman, using your code in your original post with the change suggested by @robin-w allows my test user to delete their own topics and replies.

I’ve saved the code used as a plugin here: https://gist.github.com/ntwb/56ab5a4eab8bbcdc90fc2bdfc2c57838

Could you please test this again @sallyruchman and confirm te results please

@casiepa

I can set a single moderator per forum, but can’t seem to set several

tried

user1

that worked

but

user1, user2

doesn’t

nor does

user 1 user2

any ideas?

[Robin W]

ok, just taken a look.

Your theme has

#commentform #submit, .reply, #reply-title small {
    background-color: #025a7e;
    color: #ffffff;
}

in your theme's css.

try putting this in either the css custom area of your theme if it has one, or in the custom css part of my style pack plugin

.reply {
    color: #000000 !important;
}

[Robin W]

if you are happy with css codes then

bbPress Styling Crib

Otherwise the bbp style pack will let you change it, and much else besides

Hi Joe,
I started using WP just recently and also am using twenty seventeen. I run into the same dilemma on how to make the pages a bit wider, especially the bbPress forums.
I am completely new to CSS coding but after scouring the forums for some solutions I found this:
1. In your dashboard click Appearance>Edit CSS
2. At the end of what’s there, on a new, line insert this code:

/* wider wrapper in large screens */

@media screen and (min-width: 48em) {
.wrap {
max-width: 1200px;
}
}

You can play with the number in front of “px” to see what fits your needs.
One caveat though is that it will widen all the pages in the theme and I don’t know how to apply this code to specific pages, and I’m sure there is a way.

The beauty of this theme is that you can put this code (or any) in the CSS editor and you see the result immediately, you don’t like it, delete the code no harm done.
Hopefully this helps.

cheers
Roman

OK I did manage to solve this and wrote a simple plugin using code I found here. I will be sure to post it later.

[rnmartinez]

I am running a site with WP 4.6.3 and bbpress, as well as TinyMCEadvanced.

If I disabled tinyMCE advanced I can post with bold, italic etc.

If I enable tinyMCE advanced, all I get is HTML code like:
<span style=”color: #0000ff;”>Testing styling of forums posts.</span>

If I login in as admin this does not happen, as there is a small box which says You have the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.

How can I make it so that all users can use this? My main concern is adding different colour text.

[clemoendo]

Thank you for the response, but this is my problem:
– I want to hide the archive category from the forum index, not from the entire website. My archive page contains the shortcode: [bbp-single-forum id=488], which is the id of the category.

Participants should be able to go to the archive. I want an archive category to save old discussions, but I don’t want the archive category and its subforums to show up in the forum index, as this is too messy.

[Anonymous User 7823331]

hello. Sorry, I will not make you happy.
I use the BBpress 2 years ago one and any more, so now I do not any any experiances in bbpress. My problem was just bad name of files with slovak language. WRONG: bbpress-sk-SK.mo . CORRECT: bbpress-sk_SK.mo.
I just did everything according https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ and repair those files and than was everything OK.

50x type errors can cover a multitude of sins.

Do you have access to the PHP or web server error logs, at all, and if so are you able to match up any notable entries that coincide with these errors?

[Barry]

Hey Ludovic,

Quoting a bbPress Codex entry on forum visibility and accessibility:

Private – Only logged in registered users with a forum role can see these forums

With that in mind, so long as the user is logged in and has been assigned to a forum role (ie, participant) – which can be set directly if required via the edit-user admin screen (ie /wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=xyz) – then they ought to be able to access the private forum.

Does that help at all/am I misunderstanding?

[TheDream18]

Almost 2 years. This code still work good. Thanks

[killlakillftw]

I’d like to excuse myself in advance for any childish behaviour.

I’ve been trying to remove this outline in the login widget for a while now and I can’t seem to find the correct CSS code for it or where I edit. It also shows up on my registration page where I used the shortcode.

Pictures.

As you can see, when I am logged in it’s perfectly fine. Also, this is the RKK login in the pictures but it’s the same for the original bbPress, like, exactly the same.

I’m sorry I forgot to add my site: http://cooldown.cf

[maybader]

I use polylang plugin to create a two language site: English and Arabic. I installed bbPress and created two index pages using short codes: one that is linked to the Arabic home page and the other is linked to the English home page (in the main menu). But I used the same short code. Now all new forums appear on each of the pages regardless of the language. I do not have a language selector for new forums (or any forums for that matter). I am not sure how to get the new forum to appear in its specific page. Please note that this is my first site, I am practically a novice… So feel free to guide me to the right approach. May
