FYI a better way instal of hacking core or using CSS is placing this in your functions.php

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' ) );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' ) );

function ja_return_blank() {

ja_return '';

}

You are correct! It looks like my theme is hardcoded to make this happen. Thank you for your support!

[alienalias]

In what folder(s)/line(s) of code in bbpress files in my cPanel can I change the font size for the description of that particular forum thread or thread descriptions? I’ve searched this forum, but can’t find it anywhere using the search. Please help, as the descriptions of my forum/Topic titles are MINISCULE and will strain the readers eye. THANK YOU for your help!

Hello

I have just received a response in German bbpress forum where you can change the date when an update does not always need to manually (except changing the class name or the bbpress WP Theme gets an update) …

In the wp-theme style.css add the following:

div.bbp-template-notice.info {display: none !important;}

This causes the system tray is no longer displayed in the forums and in the individual posts.

I hope this will help any other peoples

But I’m still on the search, the number of posts and the number of topics to delete (numbers in parentheses after the forum) – because you know a solution?

Thank you very much

[John James Jacoby]

Something with your theme is hardcoded to make that happen. Nothing bbPress can do about it if the theme takes over.

Hello

In the German Forum bbpress unfortunately I found nothing about this problem … I want to delete the numbers behind the forum (post number / number of subjects). Where can I find this code?

Thank you in advance!

Do you mean you want a wysiwyg editor in bbpress such as TinyMCE? (Which include bold, italic, etc)

bbPress 2.0 does not comes with a wysiwyg editor. bbPress 2.1 do have a TinyMCE editor, although it’s still under development.

You can try this plugin Rich Text Editor For Comments or Basic Comment Quicktags

Thank you!!!! Thank you very much )

It all works perfectly!

…. And yes, I would also like to get rid of every post in this area – you’ve got a solution?

Again, thank you very much!

[Sniper Kitten]

Do you mean you want the bbPress to appear in the mainpage (http://www.yourdomain.com) but not sub pages? (http://www.yourdomain.com/forums)

I don’t think you need to give me the admin login info. It’s just a few step:

Create a page with the following shortcode:

[bbp-forum-index]

Navigate to Setting > Reading in your dashboard. In the “Front page displays” option, select the page you created as front page. Now the forum should show up in the mainpage.

That’s it!

If I have a category and a description as initial treatment – this is unfortunately appear AFTER all the forums. I would like to have this but BEFORE all forums, as this is my opinion makes more sense.

Is this possible?

And sorry for my bad english, i’m swiss )

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

Hi, I’m a real wordpress noob. I followed the above instructions step-for-step only to come across this message in the middle of the instructions…

“[Note: You will have to create the link to your sitewide forums page in your custom menu or main navigation. The menu links in the image below were created prior to setting up this tutorial.]”

Now, I need instruction to create the link to my site wide forums page in my custom menu or main navigation.

Hi…

I’ve added bbpress forums to my WordPress account without any problems, but I want to use a different image header for the forums than for the rest of the site. In which file does bbpress pull the header from my site, and is it simply possible just to plug in a different image into the code instead of it finding my regular header?

Forums are at http://ovcball.net/forums/

Thanks!

[mudechevy]

See the author box here: http://www.wisewahm.com/forum/topic/test-2/? It looks like I’m missing an opening or closing tag somewhere and I can’t figure out what file to check. I’m using bbpress & buddypress with the buddyboss theme.

[iamthegz]

[iamthegz]

BuddyPress Forums Extras – BBCode to HTML 0.3.0 installed (No change to my forum)

and now I’m here.. is there a plugin for avatars ?

Can’t wait for a reply have a great day all

[Andrew]

Hi Scoe, Thanks for the Code to alter the forums breadcrumbs. I was wondering if you could let me know which file you found the h1 located in? in order to change that? I’ve been looking everywhere.

I think you brought that file into your main theme directory to overwrite bbpress’s standard files?

[John James Jacoby]

You can use bbp_get_forum_last_active_id() to get the post ID of the latest topic or reply. From there you’ll have to use WordPress functions to get out what you need.

(This, of course, is assuming you’re using bbPress 2.0 or beyond)

hi.

Really need help with this i need to remove all old files and get new ones

[engin1984]

Hi. Is there any code to topic author profile link?

Something like that: get_topic_author_profile_link

I don’t want to use: “><?php topic_author(); ?>

Hi Folks, I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction on where or what to modify.

I’ve got BB press set up at the root slug ‘Forums’ and when I navigate there I get a list of the 5 forums I’ve created so far. The page title on that page is currently the last forum I added.

SO the page display’s ‘Off the Mat’ as the page title in the h1 of the main content

while below is a listing of 5 different forums (the last of which is Off the Mat).

How can I modify that page title to be something like ‘Community Forums’ or similar?

I understand I’ll need to create a plugin, and get a bit of bbpress code pulled into it and then modify it, but looking at the includes folder I really don’t know where to start. And once my plugin file is created it goes where?

Thanks for any help you can give.

[chr313]

Hi everyone, I wanted to see if there are any shortcodes or code for displaying my favorites or for my topics started? If so I can just display them on a custom page. I’ve been all over the forums and cannot find anyone who has asked for this.

Thank you for any help,

Chris

[Arion]

Sure.

I have the Black Label wordpress theme on my site and as such it comes with a fullscreen background image option on every post and page. I bought this theme for this very reason. Now, when I plugged in bbpress, I had to use the shortcodes on the main forum page which was no problem but when I click on the forum or the topic links, I get sent to a page that instead of saying “edit page” in the admin bar, it says “Edit forum” or “Edit topic” and doesn’t allow me to set the background image.

Now I looked into creating a default background image by changing some .css but this sets that image for ALL the pages, (page.php) and though it is overridden by the set background image in the theme, it isn’t pleasing to my eye to have one background image when you open and a second or two later have another one pop up on top of it. So I trashed this option.

Did some research on how I can resolve this problem and found a previous thread here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Needless to say that it interested me that I could create my own wrapper and have the forums and topics open up in a special page and have a set background for that page alone that won’t affect my other pages.

Well, this is the skinny of my situation. I hope I gave you enough info this time, sorry for not doing it from the get go. Can I do this? Where do I change the default wrapper to my new one? I’m imagining it’s in the function sets. Or perhaps there is an even better solution to my situation. What do yo suggest Brandon?

Oh, and thanks for your time

[John James Jacoby]

Happy to help, but I’m only one person; can’t do it all. It’s way more helpful to everyone (and the project) if you dive into the code and figure it out in your free time rather than relying on mine.

Also, no reason to create one topic and point to your old one. It’s spammy. Closing this one.

[wexler]

Getting the same issue as #smell-bag. Not sure why. Here’s what I’ve tried.

Slug is set to: forum

(went to WP screen options and [x] slug so that option became visible.

I created a blank page and called it: Forum

and added shortcode: [bbp-forum-index]

I set Permalink to: http://mydomain.com/forum/

Under WP settings/forum…

Archive Slugs

Forums base: forums

Topics base: topics

Single Slugs

Forum Prefix [x]

Forum slug: forum

Topic slug: topic

NOTE: I’ve tried combinations/permutations changing these settings and it seems to modify the breadcrumb link of the word: forum

to something other than what my page points to.

If I create the page with a permalink:

http://mydomain.com/forum/

then the breadcrumb URL for: forum(s) suggests it will link to:

http://mydomain.com/forums/

if I reverse it with the plural version (forums)

then the breadcrumb URL becomes the singular format: forum.

Suggestions?

[humanrights4tibet]

– go to your WordPress admin backend

– go to add new plugin

– either search for bbpress plugin, or if you’ve downloaded the .zip already, go to upload tab and navigate to where you downloaded it to

– press install now

– activate it

Then you get a new section in your dashboard – forums, topics and replies

Off you go
