Ok found a good fix for this!

in bbp_signature.php

in function bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature & function bbp_topic_content_append_user_signature

change

$signature = bbp_get_user_signature ( $user_id );

to

$signature = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Signature’, $user_id );

Then in Buddypress profile fields add a field called Signature.

Bam fixed.

I even went ahead and added a bbcode parser to the plugin so it works real nice. you can download the full fix here

Thank you very much

[NFLpigskingirl]

I had to change the theme for that to work — but I’m totally okay with that

How do I allow people to post?

[Jared Atchison]

You need to adjust the width of parts of the table.

.bbp-reply-author { width: 20% }

is a start.

[Jared Atchison]

bbPress is very much under active development. You can see that in the trac timeline – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/timeline.

The spam periodically gets to a high level on the forums because

1) There are only a handful of moderators at the moment

2) The spam is human generated and most of it does not get caught by akismet

Hope that helps

[Jared Atchison]

As a moderator here (and this runs pre 2.x bbPress) there is a *lot* of spam that gets through. Every morning I go through and delete everything that has popped up over night

Hi everyone! I’m new to BBPress and I’m quite the technology newbie, so please be as simple and specific as possible when answering my question otherwise I’m liable to not get it

Here goes: I have WordPress and installed BBPress. I have the Piano Black theme. My site is called Pro Football Chick (profootballchick.com/forums if you want to see what I’m talking about). Anyhow, I want the forums to have a tab on my front page at the top — like the About, Home, and Contact pages. I also noticed that there’s no way for someone to add a topic — how can I fix that?

Thank you SO much!

[Andrew]

Thanks Lynq! I placed this bit of code into my page.php template file and it’s working like a charm. I didn’t know there was a ‘forum’ post type.

Great! Thanks so much for your help!

There’s seem to be some unnecessary line in

f5666014.527a5f.css located in “.reply a, .reply a:visited {” and “.reply a:hover {“

Try to remove these lines in your f5666014.527a5f.css:

.reply a, .reply a:visited {

display: inline-block;

background: white;

color: #333;

font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

font-size: 11px;

text-decoration: none;

margin: 4px 0px 0px 0px;

padding: 2px 10px 2px 10px;

border: 1px solid #DDD;

-moz-border-radius: 5px;

-khtml-border-radius: 5px;

-webkit-border-radius: 5px;

}

And this:

.reply a:hover {

background: #09C;

color: white;

text-decoration: none;

border: 1px solid #09C;

}

What are your hosts using as web hosting control panels? cPanel, vDeck or something else?

Take me as an example (I’m using vDeck 4), in your control panel, navigate to “File Manager” (or similar name). If your install your website in root directory, then navigate to /wp-content/plugins/ and upload your bbPress zip file there. For sub-directory, navigate to /”sub-directory”/wp-content/plugins/ and upload it there. Uncompress the zip file.

In your wordpress dashboard, go to Plugin section. You should see the bbPress in your plugin list. Activate it and you’re done.

Actually there’s an easier way to do this. Navigate to Plugin > Add New. Search for bbPress and click “install now” and activate it.

Thanks, sniperkitten. I didn’t realize the bbpress developers were still active. I’ve been searching everywhere for answers and everything I read said they weren’t going to update. I’m glad to hear this isn’t the case .

As far as hidden forums, I found a work around b/c we’re going to protect our content through Wishlist Member – but what I was referring to is when you create a forum, it can either be set to “private” (which is for admins), ‘hidden’ which is supposed to be (from what I’ve read) so it’s visible to certain members and not others – like membership levels. It doesn’t seem to work though. When I set the forum to “hidden” it still shows. I looked around on various sites and the last thing I could find on it was posted 6 months ago saying it was a bug, and it would get worked out. But as far as I can tell it hasn’t.

Thanks for responding!

[Sniper Kitten]

Looks like you ask in the inappropriate place. You should ask this in WordPress or BuddyPress Support Forums.

You’ll need to create a custom page template for those pages, but there’s no easy way to do this unless you have some knowledge about PHP.

For a quick start, you can refer:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages

To create a page template:

Yeah, I’d really enjoy an easy way for users to add images to their posts. Find a bit odd that there’s a parser for Youtube links and a lot of of other media types, but not normal images.

Preferably it would would just as adding a Youtube link does, meaning – just add a link ending in .jpg, .png, .jpeg and .gif and it would show the image.

[Andekvakk]

Hello.

In my bbPress forum the username and IP is standing right for the avatar, and I want it to stand over it.

Is that possible on an easy way?

Here is an screenshot of the problem:

And here is how I want it to be:

Is there a way to let normal users post images on bbPress 2.1? Just discovered only admins can use <img> tags in replies.

[Sniper Kitten]

This is one of your line your author box output:

<a rel="nofollow" 1"="" score:="" required="" title="View <span title=" href="http://www.wisewahm.com/members/admin/">Beginner Admin's profile" class="bbp-author-name">Admin</a>

And the result is: Beginner Admin’s profile” class=”bbp-author-name”>Admin

Shouldn’t it be something like this:

<a rel="nofollow" 1"="" score:="" required="" title="View Beginner Admin's profile" href="http://www.wisewahm.com/members/admin/" class="bbp-author-name">Admin</a>

The result will be: Admin

Thanks, sniperkitten! To answer your question, I’m using the default BuddyPress theme (1.5.5.) by the BuddyPress Team. I really appreciate the help. Thanks to you, my forums are up.

[russwittmann]

all that is in the file is <?php bbp_list_forums(); ?> i don’t see a parameter

[Lynq]

I use this in my main theme page loop.

<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>

// Main homepage H1.

<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

<?php } else if (get_post_type() == 'forum') { ?>

// Forum H1

<h1 class="entry-title">Forum Title</h1>

<?php } else { ?>

// Fallback

<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

<?php } ?>

Let me now if this helps, good luck!

[Lynq]

You have the following css, which is positioning the element absolutely. Just remove it. Line 862 on style.css

.reply {

bottom: 15px;

line-height: 1.2em;

position: absolute;

right: 15px;

}

Good luck!

Hi Sam,

I had a hard time looking for the archive-forums.php, until I found it in the bbp-twentyten theme folder in bbp-themes folder. From my understanding I’m not using this theme for bbPress (or am I?)

I made the changes as you described and nothing takes effect. I’ve tried moving about the archive-forums.php into different areas, my main theme folder, the bbPress includes folder and others to see if I could find the right spot it needed to be in order to be called, but without luck.

Where do I need to place this file in order to have it activated or used by bbPress?

I also tried creating a new ‘theme’ for bbPress following the direction here.. https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/themes-and-templating/

But it seems to call in my bbPress theme into my main WordPress theme area, and I don’t want to change th WP theme, I just want bbPress to use this file to generate it’s <h1> Title.

Any help would be awesome. Thanks for your time!

[Andrew]

Hey Jobjorn,

I’m still pretty green with bbPress but I think you could make a plugin to modify that base page title. I think the function you may want is this..

function bbp_get_forum_archive_title( $title = '' ) {

global $bbp;



// If no title was passed

if ( empty( $title ) ) {



// Set root text to page title

if ( $page = bbp_get_page_by_path( $bbp->root_slug ) ) {

$title = get_the_title( $page->ID );



// Default to forum post type name label

} else {

$fto    = get_post_type_object( bbp_get_forum_post_type() );

$title  = $fto->labels->name;

}

}



return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_forum_archive_title', $title );

}

It’s located in the bbp-forum-template.php

Gadzooks! It seems to me that’s critically important I can’t really use bbpress until something like this comes along

Help?
