Bbpress Styling Edits Help Please

Published on March 21st, 2016 by blackbird16k

Hello, so I’m looking forward to editing and changing some things on my bbpress. I’m looking to edit the backgrounds of the header, footer, reply header etc… But I notice through the link below the edits only show background color to change…

bbPress Styling Crib

I’m actually planning on using background images instead of a plain color. So I was wondering, if anybody knew how I go about putting a background image in place of the background color without messing up the code. Thanks in advance.

Also for 7. Template Notices Do anybody know which one is strictly for the color of the background? Without changing the text color, I just want to change the blue box to a certain orange color. Thanks…

one last change question…

for the editing of 4. Topic/reply background, is there a possible way of just editing the topics background and leaving the actual post background white? Since both of them are considered under the same category. I was interested in changing the topics boxes and not affecting the background of the actual posts background.

Gif Avatar

Hello, I’m trying to figure out how to get my GIF avatars to work. I know you can upload .GIF files as well for the avatars, but the animation works on the upload but once chopped it freezes and gives a still photo avatar. I’m not using any plugins for my avatar just the basic avatar upload option.

Add a View All Topics link to my forum

Published on March 20th, 2016 by tech55541

Hello,
URL: http://yourtechadvisors.com/forums
On this page, you can see all the forums listed. Is there a way I can just add a link at the top before Announcements to allow people to view all the topics regardless of what forum they are in? If you cannot help me add the link, can you at least tell me what template to start with?

Thanks.

Only certain forums VERY slow

Published on March 20th, 2016 by loveslight

Hello!

Our site is getting ready to launch soon and I’ve built out the forum structure to our liking but in testing we see that posting a new topic or replying to a topic in CERTAIN FORUMS can take up to 20 seconds after hitting submit for the post to save and appear. In all other forums it takes only 3 seconds. While I wish both were faster, how do we figure out what the 20 second delay is about?

Add this to the mix: Deleting a reply on the backend for the slow forum also takes 20 seconds compared to 3 seconds to delete for other forums…

20 second to post topic and delete reply forums:

Thank you for your help 🙂

How do I debug why is bbpress so slow?

Published on March 20th, 2016 by johnmontfx

I’m curious if this is normal — loading up the bbpress templates takes over 4 seconds, as shown in my New Relic traces in this attached image. This is consistent in multiple transaction traces…

New Relic trace

bbpress seems to be really a dog for some reason. My system is a Linode 12 core 32GB. That should be more than enough horsepower…

I’m not caching pages for logged in users, but utilizing xcache and W3 Total Cache for object caching…and CloudFlare for CDN

Hello,

I am trying to import a vbulletin 4.2.2 installation into bbpress and it fails importing the replies without leaving me errors, it just hangs and keeps posting dashes (-) into the progress logs even after stopping it and resuming.

How to set single default thumbnail for all “topic” content types?

Published on March 20th, 2016 by pazzaglia

I automatically post links to new topics on my social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and the associated image with those topics is either someone’s profile picture or, randomly, some giant picture from the website.

I would like to set a single image as the default thumbnails for all topics. Any idea on how I can do this?

THANKS!

Ciao,

Show “Total Posts” instead of “Topics” and “Replies”

Published on March 19th, 2016 by fenixbazaar

Hi there,

I wonder how to replace “Topics” and “Replies” with Post Count.

Here is an example of what I want to do:

http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/general-tips-for-new-or-returning-players/

As you can see on that forum, it shows “Total Posts”, not “Topics” and “Replies”, which is default in buddypress.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Get permalink of forums root?

Published on March 18th, 2016 by MarcGuay

Hi,

Is it possible to get the permalink of the forums root without referencing the slug? If the forum root slug is changed in the settings, any reference in the theme to the default ‘forums’ would break.

Thanks,
Marc
