Hi,
I noticed textarea for newtopic description is generated using bbp_the_content function. I.e., not available in form-topic.php site specific copy.
- bbPress 2.5.11
- WordPress 4.6.1
- site (internal)
If this is worth your time, how do I add placeholder attribute in the following list, without breaking the upgrade mechanism? I mean if it is a five minute job for any of you. Otherwise I can spend my own time to work around it using css… it’s nagging me that you all would not have forgotten to allow for this …reasonably important thing… I think.
function bbp_get_the_content( $args = array() ) {
// Parse arguments against default values
$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
'context' => 'topic',
'before' => '<div class="bbp-the-content-wrapper">',
'after' => '</div>',
'wpautop' => true,
'media_buttons' => false,
'textarea_rows' => '12',
'tabindex' => bbp_get_tab_index(),
'tabfocus_elements' => 'bbp_topic_title,bbp_topic_tags',
'editor_class' => 'bbp-the-content',
'tinymce' => false,
'teeny' => true,
'quicktags' => true,
'dfw' => false
), 'get_the_content' );
Here is what I am trying to do, i.e., add the words “… and a short description of the topic here.” in the blue area.

Thank you!
I’m not seeing any issues with this @piratesjv81
If you look at this screenshot https://cloudup.com/c-PvKdbwPl0
The forum testtesttest is a sub-forum of the revision tests forum and they both have the subscribe link to subscribe to the forums
So I am using bbpress alongside buddypress. This is great because running a little gaming community, it is awesome having the ability to use the widely know traditional forums as bbpress offers them while adding some great social features brought by buddypress.
Now I’ve done my research and figured out that bbpress relies on the wp profile informations (since well wp and bbpress work great together). Aside of that, there is some synchronisation between buddypress and wp profile informations.
What I’d like is be able to use only one avatar for both plugins. bbpress fetches the wp profile avatar while buddypress as one on its own. So my idea is to fetch buddypress’s image when displaying the user’s avatar on the forums.
I tried to search for documentation on this and didn’t find much. I ended up digging the plugin code and stumbled upon, while looking in the /plugins/bbpress/includes/users/template.php file, bbp_current_user_avatar() which uses bbp_get_current_user_avatar() that calls get_avatar() with the desired size and user id.
So I guess the obvious step is telling bbpress to look for the buddypress profile image rather than use this get_avatar() function, which I suspect is fetching the wp profile image.
But I am stuck here, mainly because I am new to wordpress, also to php. I should be able to sort myself out with some indications (how and what to use) or even some pseudo code.
I want to do this because I want people to not use their wp profile (there is not much there anyway) and rather go through their buddypress profile only.
Thank’s in advance for any help.
@hotloverspassion,
did you create a new page and name it “new topic”. This is where you will place the short code [wpmu_bbp_topic]
Looks great, but is this usefull when my old phpbb forum is moved to a sub-domain, and my new forum is now on the main-domain?
For example.
My old phpbb is moved to archive.domain.com
My Bbpres is on domain.com
How can u use your code, and where must i place it?
The wrong old Google phpbb urls goes to domain.com
Also I don’t know if this function I created to add capabilities did anything in combination with deactivating and activating bbPress, but this function was in my Theme functions.php file during the process of doing the deactivation and activation. 😉
// bbPress Keymaster capabilities fix
function aitpro_add_caps_bbp_keymaster_fix() {
$capabilities = array(
'keep_gate',
'spectate',
'participate',
'moderate',
'throttle',
'view_trash',
'publish_forums',
'edit_forums',
'edit_others_forums',
'delete_forums',
'delete_others_forums',
'read_private_forums',
'read_hidden_forums',
'publish_topics',
'edit_topics',
'edit_others_topics',
'delete_topics',
'delete_others_topics',
'read_private_topics',
'publish_replies',

'delete_replies',
'delete_others_replies',
'read_private_replies',
'manage_topic_tags',
'edit_topic_tags',
'delete_topic_tags',
'assign_topic_tags'
//'test'
);
$role = get_role( 'bbp_keymaster' );
foreach( $capabilities as $cap ) {
$role->add_cap( $cap );
}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'aitpro_add_caps_bbp_keymaster_fix');
I managed to reinstate the forums by deleting and reinstalling plugins in a particular order. It didn’t seem to work if they were installed or updated in a different order even if the end installed-active list was the same. I’m running genesis theme with a child theme and the issue started with upgrading to WP 4.7.
Here is what I did which solved it, I do not know why (unfortunately):
1. using ftp, I overwrote bbPress plugin with an old version dated 5/6/2015
2. in the wp-admin area, under plugins, update the plugin to the current one
3. in the wp-admin area, search for, find, install and activate the plugin ‘User Role Editor’. then the ‘Forums, Topics, Replies’ appeared in the sidebar of the dashboard
4. then I could open tools/forums and could see the forum-fixing items here: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/tools/repair-forums/
5. magically all seems to work now
Eureka I found where the problem is. Yeah!
On my Live site this is the DB value for wp_options > wp_user_roles is missing the “keep_gate” and all other capabilities.
Live site DB value: s:13:"bbp_keymaster";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:9:"Keymaster";s:12:"capabilities";a:0:{}}

Hi Guys
I have TinyMCE loading in my forum for when people post to it and I’m using a plugin ( https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/visual-editor-custom-buttons/faq/) that allows me to add custom buttons to TinyMCE. These buttons appear just fine in the backend when creating posts/pages but the new buttons do not appear in the forum post area.
I have this function in my functions.php for adding TinyMCE in forum.
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = array('toolbar1' => 'bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, blockquote, alignleft, aligncenter, alignright, alignjustify, bullist, numlist, outdent, indent, cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, link, unlink, image, removeformat, pastetext',);
$args['quicktags'] = false;
$args['teeny'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
How do I get the buttons created in this plugin to appear in the front end forum area?
So anyway as far as the DB is concerned I have all the necessary caps, which I expected. Still poking around in stuff.

Hi! We have bbpress installed on a relatively large wpengine-hosted wordpress site. Suddenly, about a week ago, all pages started redirecting back to the homepage. Annoyingly, changing the permalink settings back to “Plain” fixes the issue, but that kills our SEO and breaks all hardcoded links back to our forum. We’ve set it to Plain on our production site temporarily, but need Postname permalinks to work again. On our staging site, you can see how any page does a 301 redirect back to the homepage (example: http://fiverrforum.staging.wpengine.com/categories/welcome/community-rules-guidelines). Wpengine support says that our htaccess files look good and are standard, and insist the problem lies with bbpress. They’re adamant the problem relates to a setting within bbpress or with how bbpress is handling permalinks. I’ve tried disabling plugins to see if it’s a conflict of some sort, and the issue persists. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated!
theme and bbpress both displaying
you can turn off the bbpress breadcrumbs using
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
or by using the style pack plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
I’ve only thought about it briefly, you’d need to write a set of custom templates so that everything passed the AMP specs https://www.ampproject.org/docs/guides/responsive_amp
I know bbPress uses CSS’ !important in a few places so that we can force a few things for our “template compatibility” in supporting as many themes as we do, you can't use!important` with AMP: https://www.ampproject.org/docs/guides/responsive/style_pages
Apart from that issue of the top of my head, I don’t see why it couldn’t be done 🙂
Don’t know if anyone else has (or will have) this same problem, but I have a Category that has probably 60-70 forums, and I anticipate adding more in the future.
Like the OP, I was also only showing the first 50 forums on the category index page.
I used @casiepa ‘s filter but I had to fix the typography (I think that’s the right word?) Not sure because I’m still new to all this and completely self-taught, so there’s lots I don’t know but what I do know is the following code WORKS! (On bbPress 2.5.11-6121.)
// filter to show more than 50 forums on the index page
function casiepa_increase_forum_per_page( $args = array() ) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 100 );
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'casiepa_increase_forum_per_page' );
@netweb thanks a lot
I contacted my theme support team and they fix the problem adding this custom css code.
.bbp-topics ul.sticky, .bbp-body .sticky {
position: initial;
}
I wouldn’t have contacted them without your support and orientation. Once again thanks a lot!
P.S. can you edit your answer and delete the image? thanks.
Im wanting to add a forum to my wordpress site, I dont know how much it will grow but i want it to be flexible, i’m not a coder or designer, I only know the basics,
I know in the past bbpress had a lot of issue and was lacking in features but i’m assuming this must be possible now.
Im wanting a good looking full featured forum as good as any stand alone forum(xenforo, phpbb, mybb).
can this be done ?
if so how ?
How can I add the extra feature without bloating the site ?
Can i download any pre made bbpress.css ?
any good example
ok, untested but try
wp-content/plugins/bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-search.php
copy to your PC and
line 17
<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="bbp_search_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>" />
change to
<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="search_submit" value" />
save this file to
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-search.php
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
@Robin W — Thank you for sending me the CCS code. It worked. Yes, I know how to move files by FTP to edit on a PC. You’re help would be greatly appreciated.
in the file
bbpress\includes\common\shortcodes.php and amend the ‘bbp-single-forum’ shortcode
1. you have two css declarations that are affecting
#main-col .elements-box ul li, #main-col .post ul li {
list-style: inside none square;
padding-left: 0;
}
and
#main-col .elements-box ul ul li, #main-col .post ul ul li {
list-style: inside none circle;
}
if you are not interested in having circles or squares anywhere on your site out this in your css.
#main-col .elements-box ul li, #main-col .post ul li {
list-style: none !important ;
}
#main-col .elements-box ul ul li, #main-col .post ul ul li {
list-style: none !important ;
}
2. whilst some styling can be done, it would take an change to a template to achieve what you want for search. If you are familiar with moving files using FTP and editing files on your PC, come back and I’ll help further
3. Can’t see that as it only shows to those logged in.
So the regex we use #([\s>])@([0-9a-zA-Z-_]+)#i in bbp_make_mentions_clickable()
The ([\s>]) is checking for a whitespace character before the @ symbol
The code here below is from using TinyMCE and as you noted @atmojones there’s some non-breaking spaces html entities for the instances when an an even number of spaces preceede the @ symbol:
The root cause is every second space is swapped out with nbsp; which makes sense from a HTML perspective, where this takes place I’m not so sure of, it’s either in TinyMCE directly, or WordPress via wp_spaces_regexp() in wptexturize() (I think it’s the former)
The workaround for bbPress and I suspect BuddyPress also, would be to check for both ([\s>]) and nbsp; preceding the @ symbol
Here’s the results of swapping ([\s>]) for ([\s>;]) (Adding a check for just the semi-colon):
Testing one space @atmojones
Testing two spaces @atmojones
Testing three spaces @atmojones
Testing four spaces @atmojones
Testing five spaces @atmojones
Testing six spaces @atmojones
The resulting code from the above:
<p>Testing one space <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
<br> Testing two spaces <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
<br> Testing three spaces <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
<br> Testing four spaces <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
<br> Testing five spaces <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
<br> Testing six spaces <a href="https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/atmojones/" rel="nofollow">@atmojones</a>
</p>
The above doesn’t really show the code, multiple spaces are stripped:
I suggest you post this on https://buddypress.org/support as the function bp_send_email() is a BuddyPress function 🙂
