I look after a site that is purely used as a forum and news posts and have two small groups that have an exclusive membership, the groups are hidden and until recently they appeared on the groups list. They are now invisible to the members of said groups though the list shows that there are some, you just can’t see them.

I am using the following:

Theme: Quest (1.3.0)
Plugins: Anti-Spam by CleanTalk (5.31), Buddypress (2.4.0), BBpress (2.5.8), FEEDZY RSS Feeds by b*web (2.6.1), Jetpack by WordPress.com (3.8.0), MailChimp Forms by MailMunch (2.1.3), Meta Slider (3.3.5), Sitewide newsletters (0.4)

I have tested this with Twenty Fifteen (I do not have the others installed). It works with Twenty Fifteen (but looks pretty awful).

I know that I can give people links to the forums, but it looks incredibly odd and is rather difficult for those who aren’t so savvy (or are looking for something quickly).

Does anyone have any idea why this isn’t working?

Hello community,

My requirement is that I need just a single forum. So ive created a forum and now I have to create topics and assign it to that forum. The name of the forum comes in the slug.

Is there anyway I dont have to create this forum. How about siteurl/bbpressslug/ simply lists all the topics and these topics dont have any assigned forum. What is the shortest way to accomplish this.

Also in that case, how do I use shortcodes like the following
[bbp-topic-form forum_id='$forum_id']

Thanks

Hi. I am hoping someone can assist me with this request.

I have installed BBPress and have created forums for my site.

http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/forums/

My background is dark on every page of the site, but I want to make the forums (once you drill down into a specific forum page & topics index page & replies page) white.

The problem I am having is that these pages are not actual pages – I have no idea where they are. I thought I would find them in my pages but the only thing there is the Forum page I created and inserted the BBPress forum shortcode.

I tried using the following code in the Divi Theme options & it worked; however, it changed all my backgrounds in all my other pages that I do not want touched :

For these types of pages :
1.http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/foru … community/
2.http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/foru … ic-2-test/

/*BBPress each indiv forum background – drill down 1*/
#main-content .container {
background: #ffffff !important
}

/*BBPress each topic/reply background – drill down 2*/
#main-content {
background: #ffffff !important
}

Thanks so much for any assistance you can provide.

i closed it, reopened it now it appeared again. then i added a testreply now when closing and reopening it doesnt disappear anymore?

[Robkk]

I get a 404 when I go to the test topic for some reason. Can you close the embed topic, and also add a test reply so I can see if this issue is present.

[Robkk]

@tallsam Its not really an issue since it should show a list of items in the latest version of bbPress and since Stephen’s ticket he linked to has not been committed yet.

IF @pinkishhue’s Custom CSS code does not work after you placed it in your child themes style.css file and have also tried adding !important on the end, you can try my custom php code snippet.

Make sure to place this into your child themes functions.php file in your child theme.

// Only return one entry for revision log otherwise it gets cluttered
function bbp_trim_revision_log( $r='' ) {
 $arr = array( end( $r ));
 reset( $r );
 
 return( $arr );
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_revisions', 'bbp_trim_revision_log', 20, 1 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_revisions', 'bbp_trim_revision_log', 20, 1 );

I recreated a clone, exactly the same that the principal website.
All is the same, I remind that the website are configured on wordpress multisite.

Login : bbpresshelp
password : Helpme15

Work (click on author and get the author profil) : http://testsite.fieci-cfecgc.org/forums/topic/test/
Doesn’t work (click on author and redirect to homepage) : http://www.fieci-cfecgc.org/forums/topic/test/

I’m very lost

[natinho68]

No, it’s me who missed something, I give you only the link who works, the clone site …
Here is the real site : http://www.fieci-cfecgc.org/forums/topic/test/

Hello,

Customizer doesn’t save correctly when WP_DEBUG is enabled and bbPress is active.
With that I mean that the save button doesn’t change state after the AJAX call has been successful. This leads to a “navigation confirmation” alert after saving when trying to navigate away from Customizer.

I haven’t tested this without enabled WP_DEBUG, but bbPress also outputs the following notice:

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /...../wp-includes/functions.php on line 3784

WordPress version: 4.4-beta3-35590
Theme: Twenty Sixteen 0.1.20150828

Thanks!

[Pascal Casier]

To be honest, never seen this question before. Normally you want to explain there what it is without cutting the phrase 🙂

The only way I see right now would be a jQuery like this one (50 is limit):

<script type="text/javascript">
function bbppc_cut_forum_text {
jQuery("div.bbp-forum-content").text(function(index, currentText) {
    return currentText.substr(0, 50) + '...';
});
}
</script>

Then don’t forget to wp_enqueue_script to have this running.

But I have NO IDEA what the impact will be on other pages !!! And I didn’t test it either, just a quick thought.

Pascal.

[Momshof]

ok – I have moved the forum nav tab to the top of the page with the others & I have added all files to my divi child theme.

http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/forums/

i was able to keep my forum index page looking the same – yeah!

My category, topics, replies pages are full width BUT they still have that white running down the sides.

[jeroenkosterr]

Thanks for your reply. I have given you the wrong information. I have a root forum with several subforums. In want to show the latest topics from one subforum that has 4 childforums.

[Pascal Casier]

Then I’m really out of ideas 🙁

What you could do is just delete all of it and restart from scratch : https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/testing-your-bbpress-installation/creating-a-test-site/

There is something wrong with your local installation… I have never created a local one, but immediately went to a provider to have an account (even the very basic one). Maybe someone else has some ideas here.

Pascal.

[lvictor]

Yep, the default theme there’s no topic display issue (tested before I posted here.) Just wondering if there was a standard code snippet that should be included in any template in order to get bbpress (wasn’t thinking it would be terribly different from template to template.) Since it’s a pro template, at least I can give their support forum a shot.

Anyone out there w/a similar theme conflict issue, how did you resolve it?

[manteli]

Hi Pascal! I finally found the reason: it is the bbpress language file.

I started everything from scratch and tested theme and plugins one by one. Your plugin works like a charm! 🙂

But when I finally switched my test site to my language (Finnish) and uploaded the language files (.po and .mo in wp-content/languages/plugins folder) it automatically makes a switch to the standard longer time stamp. How is this happening, can you help me with this? Thanks!

[xponera]

Hi, this was a good lead. My host had another recepie for .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/
RewriteRule .* - [CO=wordpress_test_cookie:WP+Cookie+check:%{HTTP_HOST}:1440:/]

It worked at once.

Thx

Hi Pascal,

Thanks for answering so quickly. I installed WordPress, then I added my Weaver Xtreme Pro template, and then I added bbPRess.

At this point I am not using any plugins that deal with members’ roles or anything like that. It pretty much plain vanilla settings except for the settings.

I do have the settings set for auto role but it doesn’t appear to be saving the “Participant” role that I preset.

So far we are still in testing mode so we haven’t promoted the site to customers yet. I just noticed that the logins that I was creating didn’t have the forum role specified in the profile.

One of the issues is that someone subscribes to the site, they get the subscriber role in WordPress but that doesn’t automatically give them a forum role. Most of the people that we are dealing with are “low tech” so If they have to log on and give themselves a forum role that will make things difficult for them. Is there a way to automate the process?

Thanks again,

Andy

[AlixFalconer]

Thanks Pascal – tried adding that as custom CSS – as you can see on the right hand side of this post http://casteofassassins.com/forums/topic/test-topic – the overflow is still being hidden on the right hand side of the post?

[AlixFalconer]

It’s a gaming site – can make one forum dummy and make it public with a test post?

Welcome, Killer

I’ve created a test forum and put in a dummy post – the others are restricted access atm but in the test forum you should see a post that is cropped

[Robkk]

I don’t want to import from my yahoogroups

Ok

I just want the feature of having an email address that will post to the forum subscribers without having to go into the website.

This is the only post via email plugin for bbPress I think. I am not sure if it does exactly what you are wanting by sending the message to the user they are replying to as I never really tested it out.

[vinaynellagi]

@johnjamesjacoby Thank you for your support.. I did what you suggested but But whenever I corrected some of the characters I would go about 10 topics further and it would stop again. I also tried to delete some records altogether. But no improvements then. However, As a last try I have installed the bbpress in test folder on the live server and started the import process from the live Database. So far I have imported all the users (~17,500), forums (~30), topics (~225000) and running on ~350000th reply in the last 2 days. I am not sure how it worked. But the same DB export did not work on my local instance. However, I have to bear with the time it takes on the live server.

On the side lines if this import completes Do I have to invite all the users to re-register in the forum ?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I didn’t test, but I suppose it’s sufficient to remove the delete_xyz capabilities from this role to remove the trash and the moderate_comment for the spam ?

Wordpress: 4.3.1
Divi Theme: 2.5.5
BBPress: 2.5.8
bbp style pack: 2.8.3
http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/forum/

Hi – I am new to BBPress. I am hoping some one may be able to assist with the page formatting of the forums/category/topic pages et etc. I am trying to get it as close to this:

http://dtcdc.freeforums.net/

as I can.

With bbpress style pack I was able to do alot without having to mess with any code of files -I do not have alot of coding experience or working within the server on files.

Right now – I have the following short codes in a Divi Page – this is my Forum Index Page:

[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1106’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1130’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1154’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]

1. This is giving me the “boxed” look for each separate forum I want – I can not figure out how to get the header title of each forum changed. Where it says “Forums, topics,posts, freshness” instead of Forum – I would like it to state the name of the forum I have created (like the first one be “Community Forum”, then the 2nd one would be “Platinum Members Forum” & the 3rd “Diamond Members Forum”).

These would not be links to anything. Just the forum title. So that when an actual forum below in the “box” is clicked on it goes straight to that forum page showing all topics under that forum.
(I hope I am using the correct terminology here.)

2. I can not get the description to show up underneath each category on the forum index page. Is the only way to achieve this to do something to the files in wp?

3. The topic pages (submit & view) have a big line running down the right side of the pages down into the footer – is there anyway to remove that line and make the pages full width or a custom width?

Divi Theme does provide an Epanel where I can put css coding in without having to change any files. If anyone has any ideas how to achieve these changes (hopefully without altering files) I would appreciate the help & guidance.

Thanks!

[Robkk]

Interesting it would usually be having reply threading on that could cause a css like issue, but yours is the opposite.

Can you link to your site to a topic with reply threading off so I can see what could be causing the issue. It could be some CSS related issue.

You can test to see if this still happens with another theme activated too.
