@wiste What I think/expect is the following:

1. \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-forums.php
2. \wp-content\themes\mytheme\bbpress\loop-forums.php
3. \wp-content\themes\mychildtheme\bbpress\loop-forums.php

I’ll try to have a closer look at this sometime in the next few days and report back 🙂

Much of this is theme related, we have a ticket in Trac for some microdata additions for breadcrumbs be the actual format for forums, topics & replies doesn’t have an ‘official’ spec so there really isn’t an easy way of supporting scheme.org or microformats with bbPress at this stage.

Your best workaround is to customize your bbPress templates to fit a markup of your choice and this really comes down to how your theme is currently doing this.

[Stephen Edgar]

You would probably be best of making a copy of some of the bbPress templates.

Details on getting started with this are here https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Then take a look at the content-statistics.php template and add that code with the styling you want to content-archive-forum.php

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the follow up, your right you probably don’t need the bbpress.php file now.

(I replied to your other topic about the admin replies link.)

[Stephen Edgar]

You would need to customize your templates. To get started with this follow the steps here to make copies of your templates for use in your theme.

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

Then start by taking a look at loop-replies.php

[Stephen Edgar]

That was a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project and is an awesome plugin.

You should take a look at @rmccue’s bbPress plugin https://github.com/rmccue/bbPress-Reply-by-Email. It works quite well but is a little complex to setup.

There are no current plans to integrate this feature into bbPress core and the recommendation is to use a plugin for this feature.

I am new to CSS and trying to change the formatting of my post-content div. My forum home page, and topic pages look okay but the margin in my post content page isn’t quite right. I can fix it by inspecting element and performing the change below, but then it reverts to being broke again.

I change it to this:

#bbpress-forums .post-content p {
margin: 0px 0px 0px !important;
display: block;
}

but then it reverts to this:

#bbpress-forums .post-content p {
margin: 0px 0px 20px;
display: block;
}

Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Forum is here:

Try making a copy of the Twenty Eleven page template sidebar-page.php file and rename it to bbpress.php

[LabSecrets]

@benjik

Sounds like the problem is that you actually “do” have a page called “forums” that is in the trash and you have to EMPTY the trash to get rid of it. Once you do, then you can create it again with the proper short codes and page slug of “forums” (instead of “/forums2”)

Cheers!

I am having the same problem. When I install bbpress the index is showing up as a blank page. If I create a forum page and put the index short code on that page the permalinks to do allow the page to be /forums, It will rename it to /forums-2. I assume this is happening because the bbpress forum plugin is reserving the /forums. If I click view on a topic from the admin panel I am able to see that topic but as soon I click in the bread crumbs to the root forum I am brought back to the blank page. Help?

[Denver Prophit Jr.]

@netweb I’m getting this also. I’m using a page with shortcode at http://www.hosting-4-oscommerce.com/forums/ and google rich snippet test results at http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hosting-4-oscommerce.com%2Fforums%2F

[WPDragon]

Hi..I assume this is a CSS thing, but can someone please help with.

I’m trying to get my Forum to look as close as possible as the current popular Forums today…one thing I wanna add is the Stats at the bottom of the page..for example:

WHO IS ONLINE?
In total there are 115 users online :: 35 registered, 0 hidden and 80 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)

If someone can assist with what line of code I need to use to make the STATS Horizontal across the bottom, rather than Vertical – I would appreciate it!

Thank you!

[Robin W]

I’m afraid that I am a bit lost, because I’m not sure what you are showing me under this link.

However if you want to remove parts of the breadcrumb you can add a function to your functions file

eg

function mycustom_breadcrumb_options() {
	// Home - default = true
	$args['include_home']    = false;
	// Forum root - default = true
	$args['include_root']    = false;
	// Current - default = true
	$args['include_current'] = true;

	return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'mycustom_breadcrumb_options' );

If you want to lose the breadcrumb all together you can use

function bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb ($param) {

return true;

}

add_filter ('bbp_no_breadcrumb', 'bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb');

Otherwise come back and explain a bit further about what your link is taking me to eg is this a page and what is the content of that page

I’ve been trying different variations of things and I assume that’s probably what you mean by “Try just leaving the page with the default template”. To make it work I had to name the copied “Full Width Page” file “forum.php” (to get rid of sidebar widgets) and to extend bbp over the entire page I added this width to css…

#bbpress-forums {
	width: 900px;
	background: transparent;
	clear: both;
	margin-bottom: 20px;
	overflow: hidden;
	font-size: 12px;
}

I do also have a bbpress.php file but it doesn’t work alone and haven’t wanted to delete it, just in case, now that the forum.php has resolved things. But again I assume that it’s not needed–the bbp.php file, in my case.

So now that that is done, the “Replies” button in Admin will not open “All Replies”, only the “New Replies”. I started a new topic as this may be unrelated.

Thank you much.

[Stephen Edgar]

I can directly add the vimeo url to the topic and it seems to work. Is that the best way to do it?

This is the easiest and best way to do it as WordPress is actually controlling this rather than you having to use shortcodes.

See this for more info (and other links that work the same way) https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

[Stephen Edgar]

Your trial and error is 100% spot on for what you should be doing 🙂

That said you want to make a copy of the bbPress templates so your hard work isn’t overridden when you update bbPress, how to do this is here https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Everything you need to do to achieve your end goal is in these templates, you don’t need to go looking elsewhere to change things.

Basically all the changes you need to make are to the loop-xxxx.php templates, primarily loop-forums.php, loop-single-forum.php, loop-topics.php, loop-single-topic.php, loop-replies.php, loop-single-reply.php and later the loop-search.php templates.

In the ‘loop-xxxx.php’ remove the headers as you’ve already done in ‘loop-topics.php’ and in the ‘loop-single-xxx.php’ remove the columns.

[Stephen Edgar]

Use ‘Private Forums’ for your ‘Registered Users’ as you must be logged in to see these forums and use a ‘Public Forum’ with ‘Anonymous Posting’ enabled for your guests.

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum

[Stephen Edgar]

The subscribe to email notifications was a bug, it is now fixed in bbPress 2.5.3

I installed that plugin, pulled up a user who was a Participant, and changed “View hidden forums” from “Default” (which was set to “Denied”) to “Allowed.”

And then boom, the Participant account could then view the forums.

Here’s the odd part though: we have 3 forums and they are all set to Private, not Hidden. So changing this setting shouldn’t have made any difference. Private forums are visible to Participants by default.

…

I realized that one of two things were off: either the participants were NOT allowed to view private forums, or else the forums were NOT private. Had to be one or the other.

The repair tool “Recalculate private and hidden forums” has a bug in it 🙁

When that repair tool is run private and hidden forum are assigned both _bbp_private_forums and _bbp_hidden_forums statuses so this is why a user with the Participant role could not read a private forum as after that tool had been run it was also been given the hidden status also.

The workaround for this is to do exactly what you did by “changing each forum from Private to Public back to Private” as this doesn’t touch the broken repair tool and sets the visibility status correctly.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2512

Thanks for your patience here @martyn-chamberlin and your detailed info helped a great deal finding said bug, just need to write a patch for it now. 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

It is an issue with your theme not playing nice with bbPress 😉

Try making a copy of your themes full width template eg. page.php file (Or page-sidebar.php if you want a sidebar) and rename it to bbPress.php then all your bbPress pages will use this template.

How’d that go?

[Stephen Edgar]

Try just leaving the page with the default template as this might be confusing things a little.

(Keep the bbpress.php file with Twenty Fourteens full width page code in it.)

How’d that work?

[Stephen Edgar]

This will be an issue for WPTouch Pro 3 Support

http://www.bravenewcode.com/wptouch/ OR https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wptouch

[Stephen Edgar]

Firstly looking at https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#Finnish_-_Suomi_.28fi.29 and https://i18n.svn.wordpress.org/fi/trunk/dist/wp-config-sample.php

You should be using define ('WPLANG', 'fi'); for WordPress
You should be using bbpress-fi.po and bbpress-fi.mo for the bbPress filenames.

Now the Finish translations they are only at 77% translated, 814 translated, 234 untranslated & 48 waiting approval.

You can add the missing translations using your WordPress.org user/pass via https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/fi/default

Then I’d suggest contacting the Finish translation team via https://fi.wordpress.org/contact/

There also might be some related translation discussion at https://fi.forums.wordpress.org/

Let me know if there is anything else I can help out with 🙂

Hi All, I am a bit confused and I need some advice. I have a bbpress forum and I want to place vimeo video in the topics and replies. Is there a plugin (or plugins) that allow me to use shortcodes. Viper’s does not seem to work.

I can directly add the vimeo url to the topic and it seems to work. Is that the best way to do it? Shouldn’t I be using shortcodes instead.

I am running the lastest WP 3.8 and the latest bbpress.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Greetings,

I’ve got a unique request … would like to “remove” the columns which show ‘Topics’, ‘Posts’, and ‘Freshness’ from each Forum list, and likewise ‘Voices’, ‘Posts’ and ‘Freshness’ from the list of each Topic section.

Not being a coder, I’ve managed to remove the Topic column header titles by commenting out the appropriate lines in the (e.g.) loop-topics.php … and I’m guessing functions.php is where the columns themselves can be ‘stopped’ (?), but many trial-&-error attempts have so far been unsuccessful.

A little help would be greatly appreciated!
Bob

This only started yesterday. My members cannot access their profiles or start new threads. They get an error page. I as site admin can start new threads though so Im not sure what it is. I just had a coder go in and spend an hour trying to see what the problem was but he couldn’t do so. I’m not sure why this is suddenly happening as it was working fine before. I need help asap please.
