Hi,
Is there an established way to show a short excerpt of the latest post in a forum, category, etc. under the “Freshness” title?
Other software like vBulletin support this: Steam Forums
If not, then I would love a point in the right direction of which hooks and functions, etc. I should start with.
I’m developing a custom WordPress theme which I have now extended to cover a custom bbPress theme, but I don’t really know PHP, so any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
BBPress is integrated with Buddypress, and it creates the forum, and shows the forum perfectly. Including ‘Last updated by *user name* 13 hours ago. BUT once you actually enter the topic, it shows the topic creator’s postbit(avatar/role/time posted) fine, meanwhile showing all replies as ‘participant’ or ‘anonymous’ with no information shown. It shows their reply, but there’s no way of seeing who it is that replied.
Hi Guys,
I cannot find on which file I can edit these codes ?
The avatar on the left of the message :
<img alt="" src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a8792a6046cf82389373bb32241764c6?s=80&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D80&r=G" height="80" width="80" />
And the mini avatar below the date of the freshness
<img width="14" height="14" src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a8792a6046cf82389373bb32241764c…com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D14&r=G" alt="" />
Thanks in advance

Hi. as i stated in the title, i don’t know why i got that problem, ive tried disabling every plugin or such, but still got the problem.
It wont let me create, or answer anything from frontend.
i can just create or reply from the backend menus.
i got the latest WP version
Bbpress 2,5,3
regards
Is there a plug in that I can use with BBPress that allows registered users to see who the other members are in a group?
I am using the most current version of BBPress, WPStore and WPEmembers
Thank you,
Karen
I decided to move from SMF 2.0.7 to bbpress. The migration tool worked successfully but not without errors.
The main admin account on my forum was changed to Anonymous and every other person’s own changed to my account on wordpress.
How can I change all the imported post and replies to be posted by Anonymous instead of this incoherent one?
Link and demo = goo.gl/g0Tb1B goo.gl/kej5oO
N/B; users were imported but without their various post and replies assigned to them.
If this challenge I am having is beyond the scope of help in the bbpress forums, then I understand. The below code is a function that allows the user to submit a search request for a book title via the google books api. When the user clicks “search”, the function works great and returns results in a Jquery window. The problem I am having; it triggers a submit of the bbpress topic, and I get the errors “cannot submit a topic with the subject line blank.”
If there is a simple fix I am not seeing, can someone please help me?

//set API version for Google Book Search API
$v = isset($_POST['v']) ? $_POST['v'] : '1';

}Hi,
To start off, I followed the directions I found here, and I have a child theme set up.
The text and background from my forum are both very white. I’d like to change the background to something darker. Ideally, it would match the look of my widgets, but at this point, I’d take a plain black background.
Here’s my site: http://www.lagsquid.com/forums
Here’s what I’ve been trying:
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header,
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
background: #4b8e2c;
}
#bbpress-forums {
margin-bottom: 10px;
border: 1px solid #666;
padding: 12px;
background-color: #000000;
color: #ffffff;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3,
#bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title,
#bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
font-size: 16px;
color: #0066FF;
}
#bbpress-forums a.bbp-author-name {
font-size: 12px;
color: #75A3FF;
}Now, as I said, I’d really like to make the background of my forums look like the widgets. I’m not sure, but I think the code is this:
.widget{
margin-bottom: 10px;
border: 1px solid #666;
padding: 12px;
background: url('images/footer-bg.png') repeat left top;
}
Only, I can’t seem to get url('images/footer-bg.png') repeat left top; to work. Any help would be appreciated!
My apologies if this doesn’t make any sense as it’s 2am and I’ve been working on this for quite a bit 😛
Hi, i am having the issue that HREF is not working on my forums, images are ok just not links. I noticed the link button on here pops out a small box, on mine it uses the same link creator you would use when creating a post. Might be the issue? Inspecting element shows its there but you can’t see it.
Can anyone help on this wp-modal plugin?
https://codex.bbpress.org/modal-login-in-a-menu/#%c2%a01-install-wp-modal-login
I managed to follow the set up instruction all ok and can see the login/out pop up and can login ok. But can’t register new user! after entering new username/email and click ‘signup’ it’s reading…’checking credential’ and then back to register page again, nothing happens.
What have I done wrong?
