I’m new to bbpress, having previously only used phpbb where all the codes are present as follows:
Italics:
Bold:
So on and so forth. But these codes aren’t working for me on bbpress.
What are the codes for formatting text on bbpress, ie. bold, italics, underline, centralising, changing the size, etc?
Or is there a plugin I can get so the text bar appears at the top of the page like it does on a phpbb forum?
1. Here is what I found at 683; but I am not sure this is it:
#latest th, #forumlist th, #favorites th {
text-align: left;
background-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);
font: 11px Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
padding: 5px 9px;
color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
}
How do I change it to a hex color code?
2 & 3. The existing image is just a thin color bar that I guess is repeated to fit across the top as the header if I am correct. It’s the url you have posted above.
Can I just replace that with a full size jpeg that fits acroos the entire header? If so; what size does the jpeg need to be?
Regards,
John
Hey John,
1. Sure you can. Replace this image and you’re done http://www.homedesignsense.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/images/page_header_tile.png
2. You mean add the blog logo? You can add anything you want. You can do it in the header.php file of your theme
3. I’m not sure of what are we talking about in this 3th point 
4. You can find the search box in the header.php file arround the line 33 I guess. Look for the function
<?php search_form(); ?>
Then place it where you want.
Regards.

look for this code. It’s there TWICE
forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small> –
replace
–
with
& # 8 2 1 1 ;
take out the spaces
Thank’s a lot everyone. The forums are working really nice 
If anyone is interested in seeing it in action, here’s: http://www.escoladinheiro.com/forums

Same thing here
Actually, it looks like they’re all complete in the original too. Maybe you didn’t copy all the way to the end of the lines. Notice the scrollbar in the code window – there’s more to the right.
Can we decide if we’re working on bbpress 1.0.3 or bbpress 1.1?
Quote. It is very important for new tickets and plugins updates.
I voted for it being called 1.0.3 as a bug fix release for 1.0.2.
I’d prefer that too. I’ve tagged my new tickets as 1.0.3, but doing this makes the milestone seem never ending…
Hi Petehd,
Everything you can find it in the file http://www.homedesignsense.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css
1) You can find in the 683 line of the css file (background-color)
2) Remove the background-color in the line 109
3) You can find it in the line 106
3.1) the sub-title in the line 89
You can ask me any other cuestions in my forum 
Regards,
quicoto.
Hi!
I don’t think you have understood the Erwin’s question..
Erwin, it’s normal.. when you activate the deep integration by BP, it updates a table (bp_options, or something) with the new bbpress address (inside bp root).
So you need to access the bp or bb database, find the link you think is wrong, and edit it with the right link.
..my suggestion is to reinstall BP and BB, if you haven’t user or important data.
It looks like the 2 plugins bbpress-integration and wordpress-26-and-bbpress-09-integration are conflicting. You must delete any one of them via FTP.
The theme is based on a few functions lifted from classipress which provide a profile management page via wp theme pages rather then some god awful admin edit page.
As for bbress, I just re-coded all profile links to point at the wp profile, like
<a href="/people/<?php post_author(); ?>"><?php post_author_avatar(); ?></a>
I redirect registrations back to wp and I use the same DB for the forums and wordpress, so I just run some sql here and there pulling what I need displayed in wordpress from the forum and vice versa.
I need to put the bb profile info such as last posts, subscribed etc etc into my wordpress author pages, I think it should be possible – everything else has worked eventually.
Hi TellyWorth,
Thanks for popping up.
Please send examples to Akismet support – false positive problems are usually easy to fix.
Mate, that’d be really awesome. Basically every 2-3 days on this forum half my posts are marked as Spam. You’ll notice that if ChrisHajer isn’t on the forums for a day or so that they appear quiet, and when he does come on there’s a host of “rescued from Akismet” posts.
I think you’d get some great examples here by going through bbPress.org
<title>
<?php
if( function_exists(‘bb_title’))
{
bb_title();
} else {
wp_title(‘«’, true, ‘right’);
}
?>
<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
</title>
I quite like this – very simple; also following the Vanilla 2 forum style.
The thing I like about your themes is that they’re easy to modify; which is evidently why they are popular (if I’m not mistaken).
Great work refueled.
Kevin John – I wasn’t aware that you could use an if statement like that on wordpress. Good to know for future.
I tested, but it’s not working friend: http://www.escoladinheiro.com/forums/
I really need to remove that blog title on the forums so i can lauch it 
Kevin, can you adjust that code for mine?
i’m using this one:
<title>
<?php wp_title(‘«’, true, ‘right’); ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
<?php if( function_exists(‘bb_title’)) { bb_title(); } ?>
</title>
Akismet is not great on forums, it catches alot of legitamite posts and marks them as spam. That said, it also catches a good percentage of the spam too.
On one of my forums, 100+ spammer registrations a day is about the norm. One of WordPress and bbPress’s plus sides is it’s easy to register, so there’s alot of automated bots out there.
Not having Akismet activated with the amount of registrations / traffic you’re recieving is probably a bad idea.
Phpbb has a feature where you have to approve a member’s registration before they become members
Thats not built into the core, infact very few moderation abilities are; but I’m sure there’s plugins to enact such functionality. Zaerl had something like that I belive.
I am using WordPress MU, the Buddypress Magazine theme
bbpress is not built to, and does not play well with WPMU.
If you’re using WPMU, I strongly strongly advice BuddyPress instead of bbPress.
They are somewhat integrated
We probably need somewhat more information
As long as you’re ok with me writing this without testing:
<title>
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
<?php
if( function_exists('bb_title'))
{
bb_title();
} else {
wp_title();
}
?>
</title>
Hi Paulo,
This is one of the main issues with bbPress and WordPress. Here is a quick and dirty fix which should solve your specific issue:
<?php if( function_exists('bb_title')) { bb_title(); } ?>
Put this in your WordPress header theme next to the closing title tag like this:
<title>
// WordPress code
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
<?php wp_title(); ?
// but this line after the existing WordPress code
<?php if( function_exists('bb_title')) { bb_title(); } ?>
</title>
Realistically though, in the long term, duplicating the themes in bbpress and WordPress is the best way forward.
=============
Additionally,
On your WordPress pages there’s a popup delivered from “MaxBlogPress”, that is running an annoying little script that messes with browsers. It keeps moving further down the page, so that when you hit the bottom of the page it keeps making it longer and longer and longer etc. Apart from being annoying, it made it look like your site had been hacked. I hope thats not the case Bro, but if it is, you can go looking for it in your code.
It doesn’t appear on the bbPress pages, only WordPress pages.
Hi Kevin, the problem is my header and footer are running a lot of custom codes for grabbing my subscribers and twitter counters for example. This information is grabbed from WordPress plugins that connect on Feedburner and Twitter API’s. I have also the problem that the blog uses a 960 grid system for the layout. I’m really unsure how to move the header and footer to my bbpress folder without crashing everything
You mean on the front page of the forums (public) or somewhere in the admin?
If the front page of the forum, just open the front-page.php file in your template folder, and remove from line 11:
<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?>
to line 45:
<?php endif; // $topics or $super_stickies ?>
That will just leave a list of forums on the front page. Is that what you mean?
If you do that, and you have a long list of tags and short list of forums, the footer won’t be pushed all the way to the bottom. But first let’s see if this is what you want to do.
