Im trying to create a sub forum list style.

Ive tried the bbstyle plugin and the various codes I found searching here.

Only one to work at all was this. But its not what I want. The theme is Kleo with bbpress/buddypress.

.bbp-forum-info a.bbp-forum-link {
display: block;
}

Use this CSS to remove the box shadow for links in bbPress.

#bbpress-forums a {
  box-shadow: none;
}

Hi, I am new to WP so appreciate your patience.

I need to have BBP subscribers notified of new forum/topic and/or replies but not sure how to make it work. I’d had thought the fact each Forum has “Subscribe” option made me think it would notify by email out of the box.

SMTP is working. In fact, bbPress Notify (No-Spam) works, but it sends out to hardcoded recipients, not subscribers who chose to subscribe specific Forum.

Added issue here is I have 2 private groups. So the notification really has to be subscribers choice per Forum.

WP4.4.2
BBP 2.5.8
So far I have
AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions 2.1
bbP Manage Subscriptions 1.2.0
bbP private groups 3.1.9
bbP Toolkit 1.0.6
bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.10
Better Notifications for WordPress 1.3.9.5
topic subscribe 1.0

I understand the bbPress Notify has paid plugins to respect the private group and user opt-out, but this is a non-profit organization and everything is coming out of my pocket.

Hope someone could point me to a right direction. Here is the URL
http://jazztokyo.org/forums/
but you won’t see all the forums in the private groups.

Thank you in advance.

P.S., yes it is reproducible with TwentySixteen.

@tharsheblows I don’t know if it matters but just letting you know that your code fixed this for me! thanks!

Hey Stephen,

I really appreciate your help! 🙂

Probably the most noticeable issue after the import are the attachments. They are basically a number with opening and closing ATTACH bbcodes. For example:
[ATTACH=full]872[/ATTACH]
In xenForo, this links to attachments/photo-jpg.872

Then there are the quotes to other posts. These simply just come in as text and the post IDs don’t match those in bbpress. In xenForo, the quoted posts link back to the post that was quoted. For example, here is an imported post with a quote:
http://surveyorconnect.com/portal/index.php/forums/topic/july-2015-photo-submittal/#post-1647874
and here is the original post in xenForo:
http://surveyorconnect.com/threads/july-2015-photo-submittal.323039/#post-331560

I’ve also noticed that soft deleted posts (only viewable by mods and admins) in xenForo are coming in as public posts.

I realize I may be asking for too much, but I figure it doesn’t hurt to ask. 😉 I do understand though if it’s just not possible. I’ll keep looking around for other bbcodes as well.

Thanks!

Pascal, thank you for helping me!

By misaligned I was meant that the avatars are not on the same line as the user name. Your code solves this issue:

img.avatar.avatar-14.photo {
 margin-bottom: 0px !important;
display:inline;
}

There is a side-effect though: the avatar gets underlined if you use ‘display:inline;’. If there is a way to remove the underline? ‘text-decoration: none’ does not seems to work.

Here is a link to the test forum with your code applied: http://rugby-forum.ru/wp3/forums/forum/test-forum/

Thank you!

[Pascal Casier]

And
display:inline;
will show on 1 line… all depends what you want.

[Pascal Casier]

What do you mean with ‘misaligned’ ? Where do you want them ?

This will already get it away from the text:

img.avatar.avatar-14.photo {
  margin-bottom: 0px !important;
}

PS. Next time please include the link to you site because for CSS we always need to see the site itself.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, welcome back.
If your subsite is on the same server, towards the same MySQL or MariaDB… then for the performance it will probably not help a lot.
Why not trying to go to the root of the issue and try to reduce the 10s loading to at least 8s so that the extra 2s from bbPress are not adding extra ?

Please note that WordPress requirements/recommendations are on https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

Some things to check first:
– Have you run all the repair tools of bbpress after import to be sure your structure is optimized ?
– Have you deactivated any not-needed plugin ? Is your theme ready for bbPress ?
– Are you using any cache mechanism to improve speed where possible ?
– Did you try to run performance tools like the P3 plugin performance profiler to narrow down the possible slow parts ?
– What score do you get on gtmetrix.com ? Or what did the pingdom tools indicate ?
– Is it for all people in the world the same ? Check with sucuri performance.
– Some further reading: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

If it would come to database queries, also check these plugins:
– https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
– https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor-bbpress-buddypress-conditionals/

Then of course there are a list of performance improvements that can be done on caching, offloading, … with plugins like W3 Total cache, batcache, WP Super Cache or other. Also check autoptimize and using cloudflare.

Also note that in the upcoming bbPress v2.6 (hopefully before the end of this year), a lot of focus went on possible performance issues.
Hope it helps,
Pascal.

[Stephen Edgar]

Awesome 🙂

If you look at the phpBB and SMF importers they have near the end of the file a bunch of regular expressions for converting custom BBCode into native HTML for WordPress.

Get me a list of what you want copied from the SMF/phpBB importers to Xenforo and I’ll add them.

If you need more, or tweaks to them happy to help out here also.

[Wendell]

Tried the import again and saw some results I hadn’t seen before. The last several lines of the conversion said something about converting anonymous posts. That’s the first time it’s ever done that and it seems to have worked great. 🙂

Now I just have to find a way to convert all of the xenForo bbcode into something that will work in bbpress (such as image attachments).

Thanks for the help!

[Pascal Casier]

Can you just paste the code snippet ? To comment on that.
Thanks, Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Check the source code of my bbP Manage Subscriptions. It might give you the correct things you need.
Pascal.

[Kineta]

This seems like it should be easy, but I’m really having trouble finding documentation.

I’ve got as far as getting the forum subscription ids (bbp_get_user_subscribed_forum_ids( $user_id)) but am struggling to get an outputted list of forum titles & links. That’s all I want – putting it into a shortcode to add to a widget.

[tech55541]

Thanks @robkk, that code in functions.php did the trick.

Hello,
Actually after further testing, my code above for some reason hid the Forums, Topics, and Replies menu from people who had access to view them. Here is an updated piece of code that does not have this problem.

/*Customize the BBPress roles to allow Participants to trash topics
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'ST_add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

function ST_add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role ){

Hello,
Is there any code I can use to make sure that any post with 3 or more links must be approved by a moderator or keymaster?

Thanks.

[tech55541]

Hello,
Please try this CSS code.

.bbp-author-role {
display: none;
}

Thanks.

1. how to seo setting in per post in bbpress’s forum?

2. how to insert adsense code in per post in bbpress’s forum?

[jtsimmons]

Hello, first I’d just like to say that I’ve thoroughly searched this issue, on Google and here on the forum, and have found no conclusive answers to this.

Right now I’m noticing tons of p and br tags in bbPress HTML, and I’m confused as to whether this is stemming from wpautop or is actually part of bbPress template files itself.. to test I’ve literally deactivated wpautop itself (and checked site-wide on other pages to verify it was indeed off) and the tags still remain on bbPress pages.

This is making it extremely hard to custom style bbPress while navigating these tags, as they break the layout in needless ways.

Here’s some examples..

Thanks for reading,

[johnmontfx]

Following up with research complete….New Relic is really awesome for this type of stuff.

It does come down for the most part to the quantity of the forums/sub-forums. Most of the time spent was in the template calls for each sub-forum. However, it also appears a bit of the additional time is due to the Groups plugin which makes the SQL query a bit more complex.

So I’ve decided to set my home page to be a view of recent topics (which, frankly, is a bit better anyway because it shows more activity of interest) and the performance is going to be much better for members.

However, one hitch here is that I’d like to have a “forum home-like” page available for view for those that want it. With an additional requirement that it is under the /forums/ URL ‘subdirectory’ (due to various robot rules, etc). In other words, something like /forums/all or /forums/views/all . I can’t use the bbpress shortcode for a page because I can’t put the page under the /forums/ subdirectory. I looked into using views, but that doesn’t seem to work either.

I’m probably missing something obvious (and I’ve done considerable googling), but it’s not seeming to be as easy as it sounds. Probably should start another thread…

Thanks again for the insights…

[semperaye]

Yes! But not that code! 🙂

Here is what worked:

`@media screen and (min-width: 980px) {
/* This is the width of the forum content area */
.bbpress #content {
max-width: 95%;
}
/* This is the width of the forum list */
.bbpress #primary {
width: 66.6666%;
/* border: 1px solid red; */
}
/* This is the width of the forum list */
.bbpress #secondary {
width: 33.3333%;
/* border: 1px solid blue; */
}
/* Center the contents of the sidebar */
.bbpress #secondary aside {
margin: 0 auto;
display: table;
}
}

[uschesch]

Thank you!!

I removed the customized code from the template.php file in the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common folder – copied the template.php file into my theme’s bbpress folder, and then readded the custom code to the file.

I now see the subscribe link. It does appear at the bottom of the page though instead of in the breadcrumbs.

Really appreciate your help!

Thank you.

[Pascal Casier]

Argh !
Please never change directly the bbPress files. At the next update you will loose your work.

If you want to change files, you can refer to the codex (like on this page: https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/)

But if you want to keep it easy, check out my bbP-Toolkit plugin where you can customize your breadcrumbs or if this is the only customization you want to do, check out https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#4-turning-off-or-changing-breadcrumbs
