I’ve been working really hard on getting this up and running for a loooooong time, needed to convert it from phpbb3 so users were integrated. Been playing with the css and getting it mobile ready, integrating it with BuddyPress and such. Still got some bugs to work out, but I saw this section and figured it was time to share what’s possible. This is using the Custom Community theme, modified with css in a child theme of my design.

Edit: I designed it using @lynq’s work found here – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-have-created-a-bbpress-starter-theme-with-a-phpbb-look-and-feel/
Hey guys, I’m going to be changing the bbPress editor color scheme to work with a dark theme, and I’d like to know where the correct place is to do this? Where is the original css for the editor? Where would I put the “child” css? (if it’s different than the css folder in my theme)
I’ve been searching the forums, ‘net and files and can’t find it, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m using the most recent versions of WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress.
Hi, i have recently been put in charge of fixing a website and i wanted to add a forum, bbpress seems perfect. So i get to installation, it goes through fine. But after installation, there is nothing that shows that i have it installed, the only indication is that is in my installed plugins. There is no place were i can insert the forum into my site or even view any options for it… Please help 🙂
I am using v. 3.8.1 wordpress and bbPress v. 2.5.3
Hi. I’d like to automatically include a hyperlink to users’ groups (Buddypress) or a custom profile field (BBpress) in all of their topic and response posts in forums. It would be something like a signature, but would be automatic, not a choice.
Any suggestions? I’m not a coder.
I’ve searched support and plugins to no avail. Thanks.
Running WP Version 3.8.2 , BP Version 1.9.2, BBpress Version 2.5.3
I need help deciding what to use – so I can’t provide versions or a link. A reverse blog is so similar to a forum that I thought someone in this forum may be able to help me make one. I think the only difference is the number of comments is limited in a reverse blog. I would like to make it so that visitors wouldn’t have to click on a topic title to see more material, so that the page has the feel of a blog. Can anyone show me examples of this – and how to make one?
Hello,
I’m working on re configuring an existing site that has a WP blog and a BBPress forum. One of the changes I’m doing, is making replacing our existing CMS with WordPress. I’ve changed permalinks to ‘Post name’, great.
The problem come in now that I’m trying to create a new WordPress page with the name ‘page_name’ with the url “http://www.mysite.com/page_name” however, there is a forum with the name ‘page_name’ already with a url of ‘http://www.mysite.com/forums/forum/page_name’ that seems to be consuming the permalink that I am trying to set for the page.
Is there anyway to configure BBPress to not consume the ‘/page_name’ permalink when it’s URL is ‘/forums/forum/page_name’
I would like the ability to make topics in a certain forum only visible by their author and the moderators.
I have been messing around with;
https://wordpress.org/plugins/members
http://www.tehnik-design.com/tehnik-bbpress-forum-permissions
but cant seem to get them to function properly for topics. If anyone knows a way to do this I would love to know.
Hi,
I think I have some theme compatibility issues with my freshly installed bbPress. I’ve just installed bbPress to my new WordPress site, and when I’m trying to open the forum index page, it will show only a mostly blank page with my theme’s top menu. However, the title of the page and the body part of the HTML source seems to be OK – my body tag looks like this:
<body class="forum bbpress single single-forum postid-30 logged-in admin-bar no-customize-support">
I’ve tried to use
shortcode in a page, and it shows the index, but of course I can’t use the forum in this way neither, since if I try to navigate to one of my forum topics, it will also show the blank page.
I’m using Academica theme (the free one), but I’ve found a solution for an other theme (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/) and it seems that fixing my issue would evoke some PHP coding, which I’m not so familiar with. So if you have some tips or solutions, share with me, I’d be very thankful. 🙂
Thanks in advance! 🙂
Ohh, and here is the link to my only forum: http://homeschooling.hu/?forum=probaforum
…and to the page with the shortcode: http://homeschooling.hu/?p=38
Hi,
I have just installed bbpress on my site, which is using the latest Twenty Fourteen child theme (only some simple css modifications.)
I want the forum listing page http://leopolds.com/discussions/ to look like this http://leopolds.com/bbs/ (created using shortcode).
There should be:
– No right-hand sidebar and centered content. I created a bbpress.php in my child theme folder and copied the full-width page template code to it. But it still looks different. Contents are not centered.
– No post-like forum listing. All forums I created are displayed under the usual forum listing section like posts.
Please help. Thank you very much.
Hi there.
I have installed BBPress.
But I want to: Remove the sidebar
The calling code is a sidebar (plug-ins) in the footer template
How can I remove only the sidebar, but keep the footer (with counters)?
I can remove the sidebar, but remove all counters calling code (including the footer, too)
