bbPress.org

Hi Guys

I tried updating from 2.5.14 to 2.6.1 and after the update my forum was no longer loading my custom css file that lives in /wp-content/themes/theme_child/css/bbpress.css and the forum lost all my custom styling.

Any idea why it appears to be ignoring that css file now?

Hi,

im building a new WordPress political website using the “Candidate” theme. Also, Im considering adding Buddypress too. What we are trying to figure out is how to add a full forum to a page, listed in the navigation list using this theme. Will we need to have a theme package or some kind of template? I would prefer the page to match the others. Im trying to at least duplicate the forum i have already at www.fedupwithliberals.com, which is currently a Simple Machines forum. I have seen Buddypress using the Boss theme, it seems pretty complex, but would make a nice stand-alone site. The link to the ‘Candidate” theme demo is http://velikorodnov.com/dev/candidate/home-v1/ . I would be happy with a nice full-featured forum on that site, but am wondering if i can add buddypress too? Would there be a bbpress template that can be added to the page made for the forum so the page will match the rest of the site?

Thanks,

Wanted to check my bbPress settings and looked under Settings for Forums but there was no entry for Forums under Settings. This on a pretty generic site (Twenty Sixteen Child) with all updates (including bbPress 2.6.1). I’m running PHP 7.3, and note that the compatibility scanner says compatibility of bbPress with this version of PHP is “unknown.”

I am sorry to ask this now as I know you are busy with a great update but I do have a bit of a problem.

I managed to sort most of it out with the old version but am struggling with the new update.

What I did was remove from the header on the replies page all the headings except “author” and change the “posts” to text I want with some formatting.

in my childtheme style.css
I included this to remove most of the headings from everywhere.

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
border-top: 3px solid #0a9ed3;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 8px;
}

li.bbp-topic-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
display: none;
}

I know this next bit was a dirty way to do it but…
in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-replies.php
I changed line 24 from
<?php _e( ‘Posts’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
to
<?php _e( ‘<div align=”center” style =”color:#ff0000″>Please check out all the replies below,<br> if you find a post helpful please vote using the arrows</div>’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>

which put in my text in red centered with a carriage return in the middle.

If I do the same now, I cannot put formatting in. But also I realized that the “author” label is not needed, in fact it looks totally wrong with a mobile.
You can see what I mean if you look at this page https://wateratairports.com/topic/london-gatwick-lgw/ with both a large screen and a mobile
Could someone help please ?

After applying the latest BuddyPress plugin update to bbPress 2.6.0 the Forums List Widget now displays the forums in reverse order on the dashboard.

I updated the bbPress to 2.6.1 but this did nothing.

https://community.careerpivot.com

I had a look at the code in 2.6.1.

Lines 618 – 622 in functions.php in replies folder:

/** Reply Bad Words *******************************************************/

if ( ! bbp_check_for_moderation( $anonymous_data, $reply_author, $reply_title, $reply_content, true ) ) {
	bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_moderation', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your reply cannot be edited at this time.', 'bbpress' ) );
}

Notice that it makes use of the bbp_add_error call to notify the user? Well, look at lines 624 – 636:

/** Reply Status **********************************************************/

// Maybe put into moderation
if ( ! bbp_check_for_moderation( $anonymous_data, $reply_author, $reply_title, $reply_content ) ) {

	// Set post status to pending if public
	if ( bbp_get_public_status_id() === $reply->post_status ) {
		$reply_status = bbp_get_pending_status_id();
	}

// Use existing post_status
} else {
	$reply_status = $reply->post_status;
}

There does not appear to be any code to flag the user. Either way, if a “reply” is flagged as pending (for example, I insert 3 images) it just vanishes with no feedback to the user. This also happens here in this forum.

I confess I don’t know the code enough and could be barking up the wrong tree.

IMO small icons among text looks very bad. IMO it would be better, if icons are on left like in XenForo forus.

See
https://www.sanaristikkofoorumi.net/wordpress/2019-11-16-13-40-47-www-sanaristikkofoorumi-net-58b4f9888eb8/

On the right side is a sidebar, where small icon is on the left like here in the freshness list ( I just don’t like that the position is not always the same.

It would be nice, if bbPress fourums could look as default more professional.

Have a look here:

I noticed that “Forums” listed 2.

I came to realise that 2 refers to the two public forums which are marked as “Published”.

Should it also list the number of private forums separately?

And, maybe the number of pending topics and replies, if any, + spam.

Just a thought.

Hello

I try to change the font-family in the frontend visual editor of bbpress.

I’m able to style the buttons and the frame around the editor. But since the content is in a iframe, I’m not able to style it with normal css. How to style the content of this inframe? Where can I style #tinymce.

The backend editor styling is working with editor-style.css.

In tried the following: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/styling-the-visual-editor/ Not working.

Any idea?

Hello,

I’m interested, which widget are you using on this web-site on the page – https://bbpress.org/forums/? Title – Forums and only 2 columns – Forum and Posts.

Widjet in left top corner. Only list of Forums and quantity of posts.

Thank you.
