@schwarzkopfclub Thanks you have been a legend and set me well on my way. Also gave me the terms to google and find a plugin that will help generally also:

What The File is the best tool to find out what template parts are used to display the page you’re currently viewing!:

Also on the codex:

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

Thanks again,

Hello,
I have a problem with bbpress.
a couple of days ago a problem started with making accounts on my site.
When a new user is making an account he receives an e-mail with an activation link in that mail.
When he clicks that mail he is comming on a page with an box where he needs to add an activation code.
But in the mail there is no activation code. only a link like: http://website.nl/activate/79d6b96dbaaf352d993dafae852f9b26/

So looks like the account should be activated direct from that link but this is not working.
Also when i enter the code 79d6b96dbaaf352d993dafae852f9b26 again in the field where is aked for activation code this is not working.
So people can not make new accounts at this moment on my website.
Who can help me solve this?

Kind regards

Daniel

latest wordpress and bbpress version installed

I have a site in 3 languages, made with the Enfold theme and the WPML plugin.
English: hidden
French: default
Dutch

In the footer widget area of the theme, I added the bbPress “Recent Topics” widget, and it is only showing in the French site. In the Dutch site, the footer widget area is empty.
This also happens in sidebars.
Other (bbPress) widgets work perfectly in both languages.

What can I do to solve this? Where can I find the code to change it?

I’m using WordPress 4.4, bbpress 2.5.8 & WPML 3.3.3

Your forums are here, I don’t know if your theme hardcoded the forum tile url or not, so you may need to contact your theme author.

yoursite.com/index.php/forums/

[Robkk]

I think it is your current blog theme that has customized BuddyPress templates and css styles. The theme authors could be following this guide

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

[Robkk]

I cannot replicate this issue on the default single site installation of bbPress, or on multisite, using the bbPress forum index shortcode.

Glad you fixed it using a tool?? Do not know for sure what tool exactly you are talking about though.

[Robkk]

Wait do you want full width or with a sidebar??

Making Forum Width 100% in point

Does the bbPress wp tweaks sidebar work on a single forum or single topic page? It may not work if you placed the forum index shortcode in a custom page.

[Robkk]

^That CSS code should help remove the annoying notices, but keep the important ones.

Hi,
Some questions to you:
– You have 2900 replies, how do you know to what topic they relate to ?
– If you have 1400 topics and e.g. 5 forums, how do you know to what forum a topic belongs ?
– To show some stats, how do you know when a topic or forum was last changed ?
=> All answers are the same: It’s coming from the meta data of the posts. So this data really needs to be filled.

Please refer to the bbpress codex for custom imports (https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/custom-import/).
I think you will find what you need overthere, if not, give us a shout here again !

Pascal.

Dear all,

I am trying to achive similar look at forum listing as they are on phpbb forums:

I found plugin that add a line at forum tittle which are unread by the user,and they are marked with one blue vertical stripe. But that isn’t what I was looking for. I would be very happy if some one will help my problem.

1.I would like to add an icon beside the name of subforum and the forum name must me like on the picture like just a tittle and look seperated from subforms.

2.Secondly after the 1. point I would like to create a unread/read diffrent icon like if the subform is unread the icon would be green if it is read the icon would be green.

I know the whole point is in style.css but any help or basics steps will be helpfull.
Thanks for any link, code, plugin, style.css, etc.

Br Nejc

[Pascal Casier]

Had a quick look and it’s using standard div naming, so I looked at how I did it in one of my plugins. The below css should hide the message, but not only that one as also these ones will be gone:
– Oh bother! No topics were found here!
– You must be logged in to create new topics
– Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content

.bbp-template-notice {
	display: none;
}

.bbp-template-notice.info,
.bbp-template-notice.error,
.bbp-template-notice.important,
.bbp-template-notice.warning {
	display: block;
}

Hope you can decide…
Pascal.

All my quotes are broken on my forums now, its showing the quote code and not formatting after updating to 4.4

[Mei Ling]

Hello,

whant kind of code should I use in my child theme to get the last visit in the BBPress profile?

I thank you in advance

Regards

Mei Ling

[bschaich]

Looks like bbpress codes are not computing if they appear on a front page.

Reproduction:
1. Make a new page and name it foo
2. Enter the string “[bbp-forum-index]”
3. Check the preview of page (Everything should work as expected)
4. Save the page and publish
5. Goto settings -> Reading and set the page “foo” as front page
6. Call your site.

What should happen is that nothing appears on the page, except its title.

Versions: WordPress 4.3.1, bbpress 2.5.8
Wordpress is running in MU mode. Dont know if this is really an issue.

Man, this took me a million calls of that front page to get it. It might also have destroyed the structure somehow, as somtimes I had the impression that bbcodes did not work at all. This went away after using the restructure feature/tool.

With best regards,
Benny

Hi,
1. Just read item 17 on https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ . Or use a plugin like ‘bbP Toolkit’ or other to do it for you.
2. hmmm, I see a complicated way in programming this, but maybe somebody comes with an easy solution

Thanks for your reply, but I’m not sure I quite understand your instructions… I’m versed in css but not so much so with php.

I replace the “back to discussions” code with <?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?> – ok.

But where do I find the “back to discussions” code? And its just the one line <?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?> I replace it with?

thanks!

I want to remove the voices column, it never updates when I want it to, and I am getting tired of trying to figure it out.

Can someone help me remove this in a neat way – ive tried editing the following:

}
li.bbp-forum-topic-count,
li.bbp-topic-voice-count,
li.bbp-forum-reply-count,
li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
	float: left;
	text-align: center;
	width: 10%;

but it just removes the posts column as well. and I dont want that.

@devyncjohnson

I talked to the devs awhile back on this, and as long as you insert the links manually with html or with the link quicktag button, your links shouldn’t have a rel=”nofollow”.

Just add this to your functions.php file your child theme instead of commenting out the code.

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );

[meriadoc84]

I tried the code anyway and it worked after I realised that the bbpress forum pages were linking to the primary theme (iFeaturepro5) rather than the child version I have created. I really don’t understand that at all because the Child theme was the one activated at the time. The main thing is the side bar has gone.
Anyway, thanks for the help. A final touch would be to be able to reduce the size across the screen a little. Is it possible to change from full width to a percentage; say 80%?

[Robkk]

I just tested out the code and it seems to work fine. Make sure that you copied over the whole bit of code and did not miss anything. I put the code on a gist file so maybe it will be easier to copy over.

https://gist.github.com/robkk/b24443ad53ece6d2b7c9

I tried Tiny MCE Advanced and it caused alot of issues – half of an individual post showed up in my black background – half in the “white” text area

Maybe this is a CSS issue?? Not sure really.

still did not allow proper showing of the above formatting (showed code when published)

The code fixes it whenever you make a new post, it might not work for existing posts that have not parsed everything, it might need to be republished on the old posts.

really a mess so I went back to WP Edit

I have come across an issue that was present using WP Edit.

Also – all buttons are working fine in my other areas (like Sabai directory) for front end users – just BBPress?

bbPress tries to be secure for frontend posting for users, so that they do not post harmful javascript. It might be a little too secure.

[Robkk]

@drewamca using this PHP code snippet will also work too. Add this function to your child themes functions.php file or add it to a seperate plugin like functionality.

function filter_bbp_get_quicktags_settings( $settings ) {

 $buttons_array = explode( ',', $settings['buttons'] );

 $buttons = array_diff( $buttons_array, array(
   'del','ul','ol','li','close'
 ) );

 $settings['buttons'] = implode( ',', $buttons );

     return $settings;
 };

 add_filter( 'bbp_get_quicktags_settings', 'filter_bbp_get_quicktags_settings', 10, 1 );

Here is a list of the default buttons you can add to the function.

strong, em, link, block, del, img, ul, ol, li, code, close

Hello Pascal,

I am not getting the recent topics if i indicate the id of a subforum. It seems like it only works when you are in the root. If i put in ‘any’ in the Parent Forum ID field every topic is shown. My answer is still not answered. I don’t know which code to edit.

Thanks for your help.

[Robkk]

You should be able to add information to the page you added the registration shortcode to. YOu can also copy the form-user-register.php file into a child theme in a folder called bbpress and edit it and add another notice or a description surround in paragraph tags. You can also create/edit a page-user-register.php file and put that in the root of your theme, and make sure to select the template for your register page.

I cannot really replicate the issue.

I am kind of thinking that possibly you may have BuddyPress activated and do not know that the plugin also has a frontend registration form that is created on yoursite.com/register.

Hi, i enabled topics and replys in the search with custom code that i was given here, the thing is that when search something and finds a reply, when i click that reply it redirects me to that individual reply, not the whole topic so i cant see the context of the reply.
What can i do?

[Robkk]

@meriadoc84

It is specific to Point.

It would require a similar process to create the file/and the code in the file though.

I am sort of following this guide.
