@wpgerd

you should of added the changes to a child theme.

follow this so the next update you wont lose anything

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Robkk]

make sure you are NOT just placing the new CSS at the bottom of the file , because the media queries will make it show for certain browser widths.

place any custom CSS before this note in the bbpress.css file

/*--------------------------------------------------------------
 Media Queries
--------------------------------------------------------------*/

/* =Standard Mobile Landscape
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

and any media querie specific size you want to have custom CSS please put custom CSS to the ones in the file.

^^i know it has to be that for sure.

Hello Robkk,

thanks for your great help. I add this code in my style.css of the child-theme and everythings looks nice now. Thanks.

What is your recommondation? I made in bbpress.css, but I think if there is an update of bbpress-Plugin, this possible will be deleted. So it’s better to add this changes in the style.css of the child-theme?

@kiwi3685

what importer did you use , the one listed in tools>forums Import??

because i see the bbPress one doesnt have much information in the codex and it is still in beta testing.

this could work or not , im only guessing to try to help

what you could try is go to tools>forums Repair forums and check

Remap existing users to default forum roles

and see if that fixes it.

there is also a ticket on the importer for SMF

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2380

[Robkk]

well thanks for finding the code , im sure this will help alot of users who run into the same issue.

[Robkk]

this will help put less of a margin after the captcha, if it doesnt work add !important at the end of the 0

.cptch_block {
direction: ltr;
margin-bottom: 0;
}

this is for space above the register link

a.bbp-register-link {
margin-top:15px;
}

and im not sure how this is going to do with the checkbox but try it.

.bbp-login-form label[for=rememberme] {
width: auto;
display: inline-block;
}

[Robin W]

either add this to your functions file

add_filter('protected_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_protected_title');
function ntwb_remove_protected_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}
 
add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}

or use

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack

[mvaneijgen]

Have even more code to also redirect them to a page if a users fills in nothing

add_action( 'wp_authenticate', '_catch_empty_user', 1, 2 );

function _catch_empty_user( $username, $pwd ) {
  if ( empty( $username ) && empty( $pwd )) {
    wp_redirect($referrer . 'http://yourdomain.nl/aanmelden'); 
    exit();
  }
}
add_action('wp_login_failed', 'my_front_end_login_fail'); 
 
function my_front_end_login_fail($username){
    // Get the reffering page, where did the post submission come from?
    $referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
 	
    // if there's a valid referrer, and it's not the default log-in screen
    if(!empty($referrer) && !strstr($referrer,'wp-login') && !strstr($referrer,'wp-admin')){
        // let's append some information (login=failed) to the URL for the theme to use
        wp_redirect($referrer . 'http://yourdomain.nl/aanmelden'); 
    exit;
    }
}

Not my code this is all scattered from around the web

[mvaneijgen]

I just copied text from another website and paste it in the visual editor and the message will have html tags in te text (not rendered html)

<h2 style=”color: #00bbaa; margin: 0px; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; line-height: normal;”>SVG for web</h2>
<p style=”margin: 15px 0px; color: #000000; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;”></p>
<p style=”margin: 15px 0px; color: #000000; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;”>Twee jaar geleden dachten wij een goed idee te hebben, een HTML app m....

This is what it looks like.

[Robkk]

you can try tools>forums then repair forums

and just post an image using the img button by providing a url or link to an external service

[Robkk]

i dont know why only chrome and IE , but try this

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author a.bbp-author-name,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author a.bbp-author-name {
word-wrap: break-word;
font-size: 12px;
}

make the font-size smaller if you want

[Robkk]

@sunflyer

.forum-archive div.bbp-breadcrumb {
	display: none;
}

[Robkk]

see if the shortcode works in a default theme first

as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

if it still doesnt see if its a plugin issue

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the issue

if its not a plugin issue and is working in a default theme then your right about it being your theme

do the other shortcodes work fine?? if so see if you only messed up this file below

did you do any customization to this file content-archive-forum.php

[Robkk]

try this CSS code for a test to see if it works , if the background turns black it works.

input#bbp_search_submit.button {
	background: black;
}

[pfeufer]

If this helps: Below is the code that shows up when I Inspect Element for the Search button. And the same code I change in the Style window of the element inspector to make the Search button appear the way I want it to:

media=”all”
.userwall_delete_post >button:hover, input[type=”submit”], input[type=”button”], input[type=”reset”] {
-webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 7px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 7px;
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 20px;
padding: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
}

I’ve got a custom theme I made, it might not be coded properly since bbpress seems to work fine on twentyfifteen.

Anyway, I use a custom page with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] inside and the page as a custom model. When I go to my page the forum shows, but when I try for instance to go inside a topic, it doesn’t work and instead of taking me where it should, the shortcode is shown.

As I said I made my own theme and it’s kinda hardcoded, if someone could help me making the modifications I have to make in order to make the forum work, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

[pfeufer]

Hi Robin,
I pasted the code below into my Editor (Appearance/Editor) and it has no effect on the Search button on the main BBpress Forums page:

#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #a0668d;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}

I even tried putting a space then !important after each style, but no dice. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks!
John

@robkk: Thanks for your reply!

I tried the plugin with the settings you mentioned. I still don’t have the option to only add the reply form to a specific topic!? It just gives some cool extra features for the shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]. Am I right?

Moreover it doesn’t work with the LMS “Learn Dash”. Everytime I want to save the settings at the discussion box they are gone after klicking update. Neither in Courses, Lections or Topics – Posts. When I add and activate bbPress forum topic for comments in the normal WordPress Pages and Post it works fine.
Do you have any suggestions?

[Robin W]

ok, I still think that the import topics still have the old site forum id’s which won’t be correct

As bbpress uses wordpress posts then on import it should have allocated new postid’s for both forum and topics and linked these. The following work will be to see what it has actually done, then we can work out what to do next !

so on the new site

1. go into dashboard>topics and pick a topic without a forum, and edit it.

The url at the top will give the post id

eg

http://mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=15602&action=edit

make a note of this as the newtopicid (I’ll refer to it later as that)

2. Then go to the forum that it should be, and again edit, and use the url to get it’s post id, and note this as newforumid (I’ll refer to it later as that)

Then go into the OLD Site and

3. go into the same topic and note the topic id as oldtopicid,

and

4. go into the it belongs to and note the number as the oldforumid.

So now we have newtiopicid, newforumid, oldtopicid, and oldforumid !

Then go into phpmyadmin on the OLD site (where it worked), and go into the sql tab and enter

SELECTpost_parentFROMwp_postsWHEREID= xxxxx

where xxx is the oldtopicid you noted above

This should come back with the correct oldforumid as the entry under post parent

Then go into phpmyadmin on the NEW site (where it doesn’t work) and enter the same query, and see what that comes back with

then come back and tell me what that reveals !

[darkoned12000]

How would we expand on this code to allow different forum roles to have different posting and topic limits?

Example:
Member = Can’t create topics, but can post replies 5x
Bronze = Can create up to 25 topics, and can post 250 replies
Silver = Can create 100 topics, and can post 1000 replies
Gold = Can create unlimited topics and unlimited replies

I wanted to create some new forum roles and was wondering if this sort of thing is possible? If so can someone assist or point to some functions that I would need to use to help accomplish this. Because this code example looks good I would just need to alter it with maybe some IF logic to look at the users role first and then limit them to topic and post counts.

Any thoughts?

[pfeufer]

Thanks again Robin. So I did put the following code into the Editor at first, but it did not work:

input {
border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px !important;
font-size: 10px !important;
}

But according to the bbPress Styling crib (https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/), the code should look like this:

#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #a0668d;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}

I guess what I am asking is, when I inspect a element in my browser (Chrome) it seems like I cannot just simply cut and paste the css code from the side inspector column, but rather, start the code with #bbpress-forums

Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

[Robin W]

thanks for posting this, and yes you are right that you need to copy that file accross, otherwise it will get overwritten by updates.

You can also achieve the same result by putting

function retina_avatar ($args) {
$args['size'] = 160 ;
return $args ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'retina_avatar'  );

into your functions file, of course ‘As long as your CSS specifies a width of 80 (or whatever you prefer), you won’t see any change in the size of the avatar in your browser’

Thanks again for a useful post

[Robin W]

yes, you should see that you are using a child theme in the editor (it will say ‘This child theme inherits templates from a parent theme xxx’ under templates at the top right, and after the templates you should see style.css.

if you’re going to get into css in a big way, then you would do better to use FTP and an editor such as notepad++ – see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[pfeufer]

Thank you Robin!

Last question, do I have access to the child theme’s style.css via Appearance/Editor, or do I paste the code into the child theme’s style.css file via TextWrangler (or some other editing program).

Thanks!
John

[Robin W]

sorry, and that’s just anything you need to change (ie your code above), not the whole bbpress.css file !

so put the stuff above in your child theme style.css and ignore bbpress.css !
