Hi,
Just from memory, so I hope somebody can correct me if I’m wrong…

1. RSS only works for public forums, not for hidden or private ones
2. Just put the URL of your forum and add ‘/feed/?post_type=topic/’ at the end. So if http://www.example.com/forums/forum/public-forum is your URL, just add ‘/feed/?post_type=topic/’ at the end of that.

Hi,

Ah, the ‘breadcrumbs’.

You can switch them completely off or just remove the ‘forums’ part by checking the example here: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#4-turning-off-or-changing-breadcrumbs
Just copy this part into a child theme, in your functions.php or in a plugin.

If you don’t know how to do it yourself, you can always check for plugins like bbP Toolkit or others that can help you with that.

1. and 2.
You might want to create a standard WordPress page called ‘forums’ and give it the http://raquiia.com/gaming/forums/ URL. In that way you override the default page.
Then use shortcode for your chat, the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode and the shortcode for your statistics. (see shortcodes: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/ )

For 3. at lot can be done, but I have the impression you want to heavily customize, so if you want to do your own coding you could create a child theme and put copies there of the main bbPress files and start modifying them.

Then of course hundreds of plugins already exist. If you want to do something specific, just open another support request here and we will try to guide you.

Enjoy bbPress !

Hi,
Just create a normal WordPress page and add the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
See: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Just to be sure… are you displaying topics ?
Because there is also ‘bbp_replies_pagination’ and ‘bbp_search_results_pagination’

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Well, something is wrong with your setup. To go easy ? I would just remove the ‘Forums’ part in the breadcrumbs.
Option 1: Add this to a child theme, in your functions.php or in a plugin:

function pc_breadcrumb_changes($args) {
	$args['include_root'] = false;
	return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'pc_breadcrumb_changes');

Option 2: Install the bbP-Toolkit plugin and just tick the option to remove ‘Forums’.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,

The breadcrumbs should take the info from the slugs … Is it a accessible ? What is the URL for your forum ?

Pascal.

Thanks for the clarification, sorry for that.

Hi,
You can start from here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/blank-pages/
If it did not help, just get back.

30000 forums ? Thats not managable! Or are you talking about 30000 topics ?
If I’m not mistaken bbPress is limited to 50 forums.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

As said above:
For your plugins, you should activate them from your ‘Admin panels > Plugins > Installed Plugins’ and then you can start tuning the options (in most cases under ‘Admin panels > Settings’ or ‘Admin panels > Tools’.
If they do not work, then you need to ask on the forums of those plugins.

For the avatars, you can start reading here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/faq/user-avatars/

[Pascal Casier]

Yeah, well, could be the age …

🙂

[Pascal Casier]

Hmm, nothing comes to my mind directly. Maybe with a plugin like https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-new-ui ?

I also saw a lot of ‘Oh bother no topics’ and other messages. You can always use my bbP Toolkit to hide those.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Well, it seems to work now …

[Pascal Casier]

Well, you seem to have managed to remove 60K already in the mean time.

I edited my post, not sure it you saw that, but WordPress proposes PHP 5.6 and not 5.5 as you have. Of course all works, but I remember well, the latest bbPress test runs show increased performance on the higher PHP platform.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Well, for finding the help and responses, I hope you’re not disappointed.
Please note that WordPress runs best on PHP 5.6 and higher (you seem to use 5.5) : https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

– Have you run all the repair tools of bbpress after import to be sure your structure is optimized ?
– Have you deactivated any not-needed plugin ? Is your theme ready for bbPress ?
– Are you using any cache mechanism to improve speed where possible ?
– Did you try to run performance tools like the P3 plugin performance profiler to narrow down the possible slow parts ? Or gtmetrix.com as starting point ?

Some further reading: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

Also note that in the upcoming bbPress v2.6 (hopefully before the end of this year), a lot of focus went on possible performance issues.

Hope it helps,
Pascal.

Hi,
You seem to have this one somewhere:

.forum-archive, .single-forum #sidebar {
  display: none!important;
}

It’s blocking the whole view.

It’s a style in your divi master theme.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

What exactly do you want to do ? Play with background colors ?
If it’s a public site, please include the URL so people here can propose you things directly working on your site.

Hi,
For your question about ‘arange my sub-forum verically instead of horizontal’, you can add this code in a child theme or your own plugin or functions.php file (Remove the // twice if you also want to hide the counters):

add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'bbppc_bbpress_list_forums' );
function bbppc_bbpress_list_forums() {
	$args['separator']        = '<br>';
	// $args['show_topic_count'] = false;
	// $args['show_reply_count'] = false;
	return $args;
}

For your plugins, you should activate them from your ‘Admin panels > Plugins > Installed Plugins’ and then you can start tuning the options (in most cases under ‘Admin panels > Settings’ or ‘Admin panels > Tools’.

Hi,
Have a look at my bbP Toolkit plugin. It has the option to close forums (so reply only) but still leave some roles create topics.
Hope it helps.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, let me try to cut these questions in different parts.
I only get email notifications on some new topics and replies.
Some basic things: You need to subscribe to the forum to get new topics. You need to subscribe to the topic to get the replies. You will not get notifications for your own topics that you post.
Said that, it seems that on some forums there are issues in getting out the emails. You could try by installing a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/ and I would also suggest to use an SMTP tool (like postman smtp or other) that has good logs so you can find out what is happening.
I can’t find the setting to ensure I get notified whenever a new post is added.
As you are on the bbPress forum, I suppose you talk about ‘topic’ and not ‘post’ ? If you talk about new topics, you need to be sure to be subscribed to the forum. You could use a plugin e.g bbP Manage Subscriptions to have the overview of who is subscribed to what forum.
I cannot find their emails or names at all in my user tab of my wordpress admin….
If you just use bbPress on WordPress, you have to find them there. If not, you will have to ask in a pure wordpress forum. If you would also use BuddyPress, then it’s better to ask in their forum.

Hope it gives you some directions.
Pascal.

I must admit I’m not an expert in RTL…

I would propose you start from here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/persian-%D9%BE%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B3%DB%8C-fa_ir/

It’s not solving the root cause, but I’m happy if it worked !

Hi,

This is unfortunately a known bug : https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2876
We hope that in the upcoming version 2.6 it is included.
