Hi robkk,

Thanks for your fast reply. I am not too good with CSS format.

I just added “Adding CSS” plugin and was trying to see some code to work with it, but unable to do it.

Is there some code generator and if not the plugin, I guess I can add it in “Style.css”

I just need when people posting in forums they have options to change color and size of font. I am unable to find something like and as for CSS I am not very familiar with that.

Thanks
Nik

Stephen… Thank you for your reply.

Here is my current issue.

When the bbPress plugin is activated, I can access my website via zippe.biz/wp-admin.

When the bbPress plugin is deactivated, I can not. Instead what I see is a page that displays:

Error 500
The server encountered a syntax error, and could not complete your request.
Website owner? check your code, and your debug log, you may find a ‘parse’ error in there.
Visitor? Try and reload it in a few minutes.

I disabled then deleted bbPress and still saw the error reported above. I then re-installed and re-enabled bbPress and the error went away. I then disabled bbPress and the error returned.

I have no idea what to do next. My hosting provider is working on this as well as we’re not sure where to focus our attention.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

@kevinbcarney The Deleting Conversion Table… Failed is nothing to worry about, this is just cleaning up and removing the extra database table if you had previously imported forums.

@jordanpinski wrote

“My issue with the plugin is the ‘edit’ feature on posts doesn’t work”

Could you clarify what you mean by this, editing WordPress Posts or bbPress topics/replies?

Rob is also correct above (presuming you do want to delete all bbPress data)

• Run “Reset Forums”
• Deactivate bbPress
• Uninstall bbPress plugin

I’ve just tested this and I have no issues accessing the dashboard after performing the above steps.

Caveat: You are correct that the bbp_keymaster role is still assigned to the user in wp_usermeta, though this should not block access for you to WordPress’ dashboard, there is a tweak to the uninstall/deactivation for bbPress 2.6 listed here in #2580. I also came upon another issue that I’m updating a patch for now, but again, none of this should be stopping yopu from accessing the dashboard after deactivation and/or uninstall.

As Rob wrote, what other plugins are you using that may conflict with this? It could be any plugin role or capability related and/or other plugins that extend bbPress functionality.

bbPress Styling Crib

[lizbeck]

Hi all,

I just installed bbpress using the shortcode to display the forums on my frontpage, but I don’t think the lists are displaying as intended. In the part2 instructions it says the default look is:

But, by default my forum is displaying as a list: http://pubs.hamlin.org/tech/

I’d be happy to use the default view if I could make it work. Does anyone have an idea of what’s going on here? I’m using the twentyeleven theme.

Thank you in advance for your help!

It’s been a long time but I have a problem with the last provided code. It should would perfect, were it not that my username contains a space. And the code doesn’t change a space to a dash.

Could the code above be modified to achieve this?

Thanks so much in advance!

One I’ve been playing with

bbp additional shortcodes

[Robkk]

how to show 5 recent topics on homepage like bbpress.org??

is it just the recent topics widget, or and edited version of the bbpress index shortcode??

[ttmt]

Hi all

I’m using the default bbPress to which I have added custom css – nothing crazy just some colour changes etc.

Everything seems to working fine apart for the user settings page.

The avatar shows with the navigation underneath.

The information about post started shows and I can edit the user details.

‘Your Posts Started’ doesn’t show any posts.

If I checked the page source it shows the code but it’s offset to the right of the window and just shows it as empty boxes.

[Robkk]

copy content-single-forum.php into your child theme then add

<?php if ( bbp_allow_search() ) : ?>

		<div class="bbp-search-form">

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>

		</div>

	<?php endif; ?>

above

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

[palmdoc]

Anyone using the Google Doc Embedder?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-document-embedder/

I use it to embed PDFs in forum posts and it works fine.
It’s just that I and users often forget the format of the shortcode so I wonder if it is possible to have a button in the editor to aid one in creating the shortcode?
[gview file='URL']
Is it difficult to do so?

Thanks

[Vikram Singh Rana]

Hey I had the same problem and wanted my forum to have a full width looks. I visited your threat and used the code about but it didn’t worked for me. I have tweaked it and it is working for me now. I had the same problem of topics disappearing.

Please use this code, it should work perfectly fine.

<?php

/**
 * bbPress - Forum Archive
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

get_header(); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_before_main_content' ); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' ); ?>

	<div id="bbpress-forums">

	<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

	<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>

	<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>

		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

		<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

		<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>

</div>

	</div><!-- #forum-front -->

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_after_main_content' ); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

[Stephen Edgar]

Ha! Yes, I was messing about with that yesterday thinking it would solve the issue here but it does not 😉 If you add the bbPress views widget to a sidebar you will see all those views in the gist you linked above, you can also add the shortcode [bbp-single-view id="single-random-topic"] to a page it it will display the ‘topic’ list template with a single random topic.

So it can do all that ^^^, but it will not work as a ‘button’ so you can’t have a button with ‘Click this for a random topic’ 🙁

Something like this should work though:

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/ca87b9b75a42215b2889

function ntwb_bbpress_random_single_topic() {
    if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'orderby' => 'rand', 'posts_per_page' => 1 ) ) ) {
 
        while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();
 
            ?>
            <a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?></a>
            <?php
 
        endwhile;
    }
}
// Hook into action
add_action('bbp_template_before_lead_topic','ntwb_bbpress_random_single_topic');
// Add it as a shortcode [ntwb-bbpress-random-single-topic]
add_shortcode('ntwb-bbpress-random-single-topic', 'ntwb_bbpress_random_single_topic');

I’m hooking it into just before the ‘lead topic’ (bbp_template_before_lead_topic) in the example above but you could hook that anywhere you would like.

I also add it as a shortcode [ntwb-bbpress-random-single-topic] for use that way.

Make any changes you want to the HTML, I am just doing it as a HTML a anchor link with the permalink bbp_topic_permalink() and the link title as the topic title bbp_topic_title(). Change all that HTML code to a button, remove <?php bbp_topic_title(); ?> and replace with Random Topic or whatever takes your fancy.

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress includes two vBulletin importers, one is vBulletin3 for vBulettin 3.x and the other vBulletin is for the 4.x versions.

Did you try the both or only the 3.x version?

[Stephen Edgar]

Typically if you want to reverse the order of replies then also adding bbPress “Show lead topic” is handy:

bbp_show_lead_topic

@farsite281 Thanks for this though you should submit your translations in the GlotPress project you linked above:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/ca/default
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/ca/default

Catalan Language

• /dev 43% translated, 466 strings translated, 602 Strings untranslated and 401 strings waiting approval
• /2.5 44% translated, 467 strings translated, 572 Strings untranslated and 160 strings waiting approval

The best resources to help get you started are:

The main transators handbook: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/

The WordPress translator community blog: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

bbPress translations reference: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

WordPress Catalan project site: https://ca.wordpress.org/

The reason I state that it is best to provide (and update) the bbPress (including WordPress, BuddyPress and Akismet) translations at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects is because each of these projects can have the translations updated as part of WordPress’ “Automatic Updates”, just like you see updates for your plugins and themes, if any of these projects are 100% translated you will be offered to update all of your translations from the WordPress dashboard updates page.

Hello,

I’m trying to modify aspect of bbPress installed in my wordpress. I’ve read diferents posts but I can’t find the solution.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

I need to change aspect buttons in bbPress because of font color and layout are similar and you can’t distinguish them.

http://i.imgur.com/71FmGz2.jpg

Could anyone help me or give me a clue to resolve this issue?

I use Rush theme and wordpress 3.9.1

Inici

Thank you

[Robkk]

which one would you suggest?

i have no idea , i have no opinions on any of them since i havent tried any of them.
You can try each one on a local site if you want and make your decision off that.

But what i can say is that this rating plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget/

is on https://codex.bbpress.org/feature-plugins-tracking/

and it also has some integration with bbpress.

Basically I want it to show up in only a few of my subforms next to the bb codes on top ^^^

I have no idea how your going to show the ratings on a few subforums , your probably going to need help on that too, (i have no idea how to help you on this)

[cybarmitzvah]

[Robin W]

yes that’ll do it, put the ‘or’ in and it should be fine eg

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user)  || $role == 'bbp_moderator'  ) {

 echo " <div class=\"reply-author-role\">";
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
	echo "</div>";
	
         }
        else {

}
?>

The || is an ‘or’ argument, so the if line says ‘if user is keymaster or (||) moderator’ then…

The else is not really needed, as I presume you’ll do nothing, as you only want it to display if…

Come back and let us known that it worked.

[Robkk]

ok @robin-w i got it where it just shows for keymaster but how do i add moderator

heres what i have

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user)  ) {

 echo " <div class=\"reply-author-role\">";
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
	echo "</div>";
	
         }
        else {

}
?>

[Robkk]

@robin-w

ok this works great when i tryed it on a default theme.

but on my custom bbpress theme , i seperated each item in the bbp_get_reply_author_link code and wrapped them in a class so i could better position each item.

so im using

<div class=bbp-reply-author-av><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => 'avatar' ) ); ?></div>

<div class=bbp-reply-author-name><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => 'name' ) ); ?></div>

<div class=reply-author-role><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?></div>

now i have 3 avatars, 3 author links, 3 author roles displaying on 1 reply now.

how should the code be if i dont want to mess with the args and i just want to display this..

<div class=reply-author-role><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?></div>

if the display user in the reply is only a keymaster and a moderator.

something kind of like this but where it actually works for my bbpress custom theme.

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator');

 echo " <div class=\"reply-author-role\">";
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
	echo "</div>";
	
        else {

}
?>

[Robin W]

wasn’t setting who the user was ! Try

function role_show () {
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator')  $args['show_role'] = true ;
else $args['show_role'] = false ;
return $args ;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_reply_author_link_parse_args', 'role_show' ) ;
