In world where customization is everything, how can bbpress be so far behind the times?
The number one complaint that I get from customers, is that the colors and fonts are very hard to read, because font size is not easily changed, and neither is font/ background color.
I’ve scoured the web for this info, and I’m the only person asking how to change the font size and color in bbpress forums. Unbelievable that I can build my own website and forum, but then not complete such a menial task like changing a font color.
That seems like first day material… How are business owners adhering to strict recipes for a successful and efficient business model, when you waste countless hours daily, trying to perform basic function?
Its all so misleading and disheartening. Why imply that it’s DIY if it’s not?
When i create new topic it shows normally no issues!!
But i had a huge data that needed to be imported on the same site. I used WP All Import Plugin for the import and I imported the data into topics… Actually I only require the topics section so there is forum I want to show… I managed the look. But after the import finished. I cant see the list of topics that meant to be seen on my homepage. Though I see the topics in the sidebar under related topics. I used shortcode
to show the topic on my homepage.
I can also see the topic in my wordpress topics section…
So, I decided to take a look in my database. I saw that earlier when i created topics it was stored in wp_posts table but now after import all that new data is in wp_pmxi_ tables and topics were in wp_pmxi_topics table. I don’t know if that supposed to be but I cant solve this issue… I even imported data again in posts which then went to wp_posts table in database but ofcourse wordpress was taking that as posts not bbpress topics…
Can please someone help me out?
Hey,
I have my own plugin that i add snippets to occasionally.
I want to add my own registration message to the forum, but i assume that with every bbpress update, it will get overwritten if i change it in the form-user-register.php file directly.
can you tell me how to overwrite the message please with an additional function?
thx
Hello. WP version 5.0 BB Press Version 2.5.14
I have a quick question. I have searched and found no answer thus far. It involves creating categories and forums under them categories and then topics showing up in categories that they don’t belong in.
Example:
Category Example 1:
Forum Example 1
Forum Example 3
Category Example 2:
Forum Example 2:
Now say I post a topic in Forum Example 2 under the category Example 2. When I go to read any topics in category example 1 forums 1 or 3, I see every single post made in category 2. Now that is kind of counter productive is it not? I do not see the need to create categories and forums if all posts are going to show up no matter where I look anyhow.
I have never met a forum system that does this. I helped develop a piece of software based on a forum with close to a million downloads before we called it quits so I am a shade on the forum familiar side but this boggles my mind. I am rather new to WordPress and BBPress so I am more than sure it is my missing a setting or something?
I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this. I am having a good time with it thus far. My sincerest apologies if this has been covered and beat to death already.
I see that users have been asking to fix this problem for years. I am getting hit hard by this on my site. I cannot disable trackbacks. Before I remove BBPress from my site, do you have a patch to fix this annoying problem in your software?

Hello,
I got a bbPress forum on my website using this template : https://afthemes.com/products/elegant-magazine
My version :
WordPress : 4.9.8
BBPress : 2.5.14
My problem is when I use search function on my forum, its works not fine : the result is not display. And when I try with Twenty Seventeen theme for exemple, the search works.
My question is : What I must do ? Change my theme ? Or its possible to fix it with my current theme.
Thanks in advance bbPress family !

Hi,
With WordPress 5 imminently upon is, I wanted to check whether there are any anticipated issues using bbPress in a WordPress 5 install that is running the Classic Editor?
I am assuming that as bbPress is used for the support forums on WP.org it will be ok?
Thanks in advance,
John
I am using bbPress and i have created 5 categories E.G general chat, random discussion, marketing, media, off topic. I want to set limitation for users. I want to restrict general chat and random discussion for user A and media, off topic for user B and random discussion, media for user c. Is there any plug-in (free or paid)?
Waiting for your kind reply.
Hello Bbpress family !
I just import an old forum from PhPbb to Bbpress. I got a first problem with the forum who didnt diplay topics but I solve it. Right now, I got an other problem : When I’m on a user profil, the topic & reply count is good, but if I want to display topic’s & reply’s user, it return ALL of topics & replys of the forum ..
An exemple : https://www.pnc-contact.com/forum/users/steward95/topics
Someone know this issue ?
