This problem isn’t solved. I’m using bbPress 2.1.2 now, and I can’t, for the LIFE of me, find any way to make it so that “content-archive-forum” looks like “content-single-forum”. Or make it so that the breadcrumbs root, “forums”, just goes to a page of my choosing, ignoring “content-archive-forum” altogether. I wish content-archive-forum just looked like content-single-forum to begin with. That would solve ALL my problems!

This is getting real old. It is, and has always been, the one thing ruining bbPress for me…

in example above, the problem is the DOTS.if we will remove those dots, parsing will be correct:

is parsed to:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29725651@N02/sets/72157630105769752/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/29725651@N105769752/</a>

also btw – in the bbpress is bug in link parsing:

is parsed to:

Give this plugin a try if you only want to do some CSS tweaks.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-custom-css-file/

If you do want to go down the custom templates route https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[John James Jacoby]

You should add this to the codex showcase page.

[John James Jacoby]

You can stop bumping this. I don’t know what “proper attention” means to you, but I can’t look at it any more than I already am. If it’s critical to you and your site, dive into the code and start fixing things.

[John James Jacoby]

Not a bbPress problem. Looks like your theme is a child theme of BuddyPress’s bp-default, and it uses hardcoded relative paths in its @import rules. Any number of things could be going wrong here, but it wasn’t updating bbPress that caused this to happen.

[Stephen Edgar]

Don’t copy any templates into any of the bbPress plugin folders (/wp-content/plugins/bbpress)

The details of what to do are here: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Stephen Edgar]

Check the Codex https://codex.bbpress.org/ for the latest docs and to get you up and running please see:

‘Getting Started with bbPress’ https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

If you would like to help us get the docs updated please login with the same credentials you use here on bbpress.org to https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-admin and help out however you can.

OK, I’m with you now, are you going to use a BBCode plugin for bbPress to render the HTML output?

I have just started working on a patch to add CSS for bbcode_quote, bbcode_quote_head, bbcode_quote_body and a few of the other CSS classes that are are parsed with bbp-parser.php

[DNBrawler]

You need to use the login shortcode and the register page template. Theres also a login widget available.

I’ve spent days on this too, and although this topic didn’t help. it’s one i came across in my search, so thought i’d update with what worked for me.

I think it’s now quite simple, but very unintuitive. Hopefully my explanation works for you guys too.

IT’S NOT IN THE BBPRESS.CSS file! Arghhhhhhh

Firstly, I started using chrome instead of iexplore/firefox. Using this I navigated to the topic/reply box that wasn’t letting me see the text, right click, and select inspect element. The box at the bottom, and to the right, can then help you identify where it’s picking up styles from. You should see a section at the bottom saying matched styles, in my case ‘content.css’

If you hover over the style name (content.css for me) it should show you the location file and the section of code you need to change

The file I needed to amend was http://www.your_website_here.co.uk/wordpress/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/skins/wp_theme/content.css

And I just changed the section below, where color: #fff was previously different

body { font-family: Georgia, “Times New Roman”, “Bitstream Charter”, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; color: #fff; margin: 10px; min-height: 100%;}

I really hope this method helps others, as it’s been getting right on my nerves

[meamrussian]

I’m having the same issue. I see two conflicting instructions for theming:

This page shows to make your own template within /my-templates/your-theme/. This page shows to put it in your wordpress theme folder: /themes/your-theme/bbpress/bbpress-files.php. So which is it?

Nevertheless, I tried doing it both ways, and neither show in the dropdown in forum settings. I tried copying the theme-compat theme in order to customize bbpress.

Can someone help, please?

[moneyonlinetalk]

I have been trying for ages to make this works for my website, i activated the bbpress forum and create a page name forum, insert some few bbpress shortcodes and all i get is the “Forum is Empty” is there anywhere this can be resolved? Is there any tutorial on it?My site is at Latest Universities Newsany help will be appreciated.

those was RAW data from MYSQL DB …

i actually DON’T NEED to convert BBCodes – i need original post texts, and that is the problem, cause bbpress converter convert [quote] to DIV

temporary fix was – to get original text from the phpbb_posts table via wp_postmeta key _bbp_post_id

Have a look at the raw data in your MySQL database not the rendered HTML output, apart from some ‘line breaks’ (<br />) you will find this data is identical.

phpBBv3: phpbb_posts.post_text   bbPress: wp_posts.post_content 

If you are actually wanting the importer to convert phpBB’s BBCode during import that is being worked on for future versions of bbPress and the import/conversion tool.

Thanks for all the work you do, netweb. I was also happy to see some dude suddenly appeared with a solution to this important feature of stripping bbcode of useless stuff: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884

[Stephen Edgar]

Also see this TRAC ticket #1924 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1924
And http://wpimpact.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Untitled-11.png

[Stephen Edgar]

When importing from phpBB BBCode is NOT converted, this will hopefully be an option in future releases.

Here’s the list of bbPress User Roles and Capabilities if that helps:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

[Stephen Edgar]

Every thing up ^^^^ here looks and sounds good as does the FAQ 🙂

“Is there any way to subscribe to tag feeds?”
Only by RSS, just add /feed to the end or a tags URL https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/faq/feed

“What I’m wondering is whether we need to provide anything for the forum members?”
As the docs get better I think they will be universal enough to be used by all parties and by utilizing a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-admin-bar-addition/ I think ‘the docs’ can be delivered to quite a few target audiences being discussed above.

> The new admin bar entries will only be displayed if the current user has the bbPress/ WordPress capability of moderate. (Note: I am open for suggestions here if this should maybe changed to a more suitable capability.)

[LabSecrets]

Thanks, I wasn’t here at that time, but good info.

The videos would not need to be embeded on any other site, they could “live” in an unbranded Wistia project container with the other bbPress-only videos.

Question Two: What about any standard leader-trailer info? If we want to do this “right” it seems we should take the extra time to have an agreed-upon leader and trailer for all these videos, as this would make them all feel professional and part of the bbPress “product”.

Any input previously shared on this point? If you want, I can create some samples and share them here.

[Siobhan]

We discussed using videos in the WordPress Codex. The consensus was that videos were great so long as they were done on an clean, unbranded WP install (localhost or something like that).

[LabSecrets]

Can someone from the group (or John?) please advise how you prefer for us to handle referencing our video content? We current, for example, have this popular video: http://labsecrets.com/2012/01/23/buddypress-and-bbpress-forums-made-easy/

Should we grab the embed code and put it into the codex as needed for each video, or do you prefer we keep embeds outside the codex and link to it directly.

Based on previous discussions with John, I do not want to create an improper embeds or links to our commercial endeavors…

See, eg., our addition to https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/ (re. BuddyPress and bbPress), this is where a video would be helpful.

Please advise?
