bbPress.org

Hello. I am trying to customize my bbPress installation, and I want to make some edits to a template file (i.e. /plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php). I don’t want to edit the core file, however, as it may be overwritten by plugin updates?

I’ve tried placing a copy of this into my child theme’s /bbpress/ folder, as well as a /bbpress/includes/topics/ folder in my child theme, and neither seemed to work.

Is there a safe way I can edit this file, or is my only option to edit the core file?

Thanks.

I’m trying to modify the author ID of bbPress topics/replies automatically on submit.

I’ve tried a few different things but haven’t been able to get it working yet. Any suggestions?

if(!function_exists(‘user_to_anonymous’)){
function user_to_anonymous($comment_data){
$comment_data[‘post_author_id’] = 8;
$comment_data[‘post_author’] = ‘Robert’;
return $comment_data; }
add_filter(‘preprocess_comment’,’user_to_anonymous’); }

More background info:

End goal will be to attribute posts to an ‘Anonymous’ user ID so users can to post sensitive content to a group without being identified. Similar to a private post but making their name private, not the post.

(I’m running WP 4.4.2, bbPress 2.5.8, BuddyPress 2.4.3)

Thanks for your help!

Hi
I’ve just added the bbpress plugin to my site and most things work as they should. However, I came to look at ‘my profile’ page and tried to edit my profile and found that the pages lacks a submit/update button!
I haven’t any tweaked css and I have tested this problem with the standard wordpress themes (thinking it was my theme that was the problem – it wasn’t). The profile page has the fields NAME, CONTACT INFO, ABOUT YOURSELF, ACCOUNT but the ACCOUNT heading has no textarea box and the submit button is just not there.

More: Just noticed in these forums that the profile page (edit) includes the users Account details like email, passowrd change – this is cut off in my install. The word ‘ACCOUNT’ is the end of that page.
I am using Ultimate Member so I wonder if there is a conflict?

Help?
thanks

Hi,

Since a day, I’m trying to set up my forum correctly, but without results 😛

So, here is my URL: http://www.vd-3d.com/forum

The problem is that I have several forums (Official, General), but the sub-forums are displayed as a small list separated by commas!

I’m looking to have something like that: https://render.otoy.com/forum/

Any idea to help me please (without programming) ?

When I check my site with Google Structured Data Testing Tool, it’s giving errors for BBpress topic pages. How can I add structered data like author and date to topic pages?

Thanks

Yes, I’ve searched and came across numerous similar problems about the sidebar not displaying on the forum pages. Yes, I read through the canned responses to review this page: https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/.

We’re using the Bridge theme and I’ve made sure the forums page is using the page.php template, AND the <?php get_sidebar();?> IS in the code. So why is the forum index showing full-width and not showing my bbPress sidebar?

Looking at source code of the rendered page does not show the sidebar though.

Afternoon,

I am using the (bbpress) Forum Search Form within the sidebar widget section and noticed a little bug. When you search one word like “Fries” you will get the search results page BUT when you try and add a second word “French Fries” the search returns a 404 page instead of the results page with the “Oh bother! No search results were found here!” message.

I have not added or changed anything to the bbpress core files – has someone else run into this issue that can provide a fix?

Cheers!

bbpress 2.5.8
wordpress (not sure how to find this since I have limited access to the cms. our company always updates to the newest version)

In the forums the create new post editor doesn’t display correctly. There is no text editor, area of a title or tag/topic. I get two empty boxes with background fill and a submit button. This is the same on a reply to a post. It was working at one point since we tested the forum. I have completely uninstalled the plugin from the FTP and uploaded a fresh download.

Hello,

I installed the latest version of bbpress (2.5.8) and the latest version of WP (4.4.2) and since I installed bbpress any time I try to view or access the forums I get a 404 error. I am using the Postname permalinks and have made sure they are updated. Also I have disabled all other plugins to make sure that they are not the issue.

The link to the forums is here.

I have updated the permalinks and tried everything that I can think of to clear the issue and am not sure what the issue might be.

Dear Experts, need your help desperately. I have the latest of everything.

I am using optimizepress theme and have successfully used BBPress before. But the last time I checked it was quite a while ago, and now when I try to access the forums, I am being taken to the Optimizepress blog setup page and then redirected to the wordpress dashboard.

I received this response from Optimizepress tech support:
========
My suggestion would be to check with bbpress to see if something is not setup correctly. I’m afraid our support for bbpress is quite limited so all we can really do is check on our end for issues with OptimizePress, and I don’t see any.

Your blog works fine so there is probably something going on within bbpress that is conflicting.

Usually when we see issues like this where the blog setup shows it is a permalink conflict of some kind.

I would suggest deactivating plugins to see if perhaps something is going on between another plugin you have and bbpress. I don’t really think this is coming from OptimizePress specifically as we haven’t seen this exact issue on sites that just run bbpress and OptimizePress.
========

So I created a staging site, and deactivated all my plugins except BBPress, and Optimizemember, the membership plugin. I still have the same issue.
