    Theoretically I don’t see why not, bbPress (and BuddyPress) are designed to be extended and after a quick look at what those products do I don’t see why not. Each of those products would have to add support for bbPress though, this isn’t something bbPress itself would do.

    The first thing I’d suggest is installing bbPress if you want to continue this discussion here on bbpress.org.

    I’m closing this in favour of your first topic, there is no need to create a new topic just because your first has not yet received a reply.

    Firstlt, you can change a users role via the WordPress User screen, just scroll down towards the bottom of the page or you can change them in ‘bulk’ via the standard WordPress Users panel.

    As to why your users can’t edit their own posts is most likely a conflict with either a plugin or your theme, try switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme and see if it works, if not start deactivating your plugins one by one until a user with the participant role can edit their own topic/reply and you’ll have found the plugin causing the conflict.

    I’ll take a look at this tomorrow morning (nearing 9:15pm my local time) and I’ll merge my latest changes and upload the files for you, quicker for both of us πŸ˜‰

    It’s the same answer as “How long is a piece of string” at the moment, and if the planets align I should be able to give you a respectable answer to this question by the end of the week, not the next release, just an answer to the question πŸ˜‰

    I’m getting lost translating the permalinks though the English is “Forums” and Japanese translation should be “フォーラム”

    I’d also suggest trying in the Twenty Fourteen theme, the Twenty Twelve theme (and eleven) can be a little tricky at times.

    Currently bbPress only supports moderators and keymasters who can “close” topics.

    I sort of see why you ‘may’ want to offer this functionality but I also don’t know of any forum software that does allow this.

    If you write that code as a function you can then hook it to bbp_before_main_content

    A quick look at the “Track’ theme, it looks like if you copy archive.php to bbpress.php that will resolve most of your issues. (Source: archive.php)

    After you have done the above remove the following line from your bbpress.php copy:
    get_template_part('content');

    All of bbPress will sit within the ID id="bbpress-forums" which makes CSS styling even easier and is far from new, I think it has been there since bbPress became a plugin πŸ™‚

    Have you tried bbPress with your preferred theme?

    Give it a try, bbPress will work with most themes “out of the box”.

    If you want to start customizing your theme check out the docs

    Hey @microdot, glad you found us after I closed down your other posts πŸ˜‰

    Check this out https://codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/

    Also what setting do you have in WordPress discussion settings for:

    Before a comment appears Before a comment appears Comment must be manually approved

    I think that is most likely the culprit, what happens if you uncheck that?

    You use WordPress themes for the bbPress 2.x plugin.

    You can customize the bbPress templates for your theme by modifying them yourself, bbPress also includes full support for custom themes though there are very few of these.

    I’d suggest finding a WordPress theme that suits your needs and then tweak the CSS for the bbPress section of your site.

    @netweb

    Keymaster

    It looks like you’ve now added BuddyPress so this is null and void πŸ˜‰

    If you decide not to use BuddyPress let me know and I’ll take another look.

    Typically if you make a copy of page.php and rename it bbpress.php and it doesn’t work is because the themes page.php has some funky code, usually linking to custom templates for custom post types so is usually theme specific and alternatives can be to tyr the themes archive.php and or post the theme name here and we can have a look.

    We have a rather large performance increase coming up in bbPress 2.6 that will address most of your issues, primarily it relates to the sort order of topics as we have a slow database join when we need to sort the topic order based on the latest reply.

    After you click stop and then start it should just continue on from where it left off.

    The issue will be though is that any topics in that range of (13601 – 13700) that were not imported before the conversion stopped will not be imported.

    These types of faults are typically due to some encoding issue in that post. Sometimes this is from an encoding conversion to UTF8 that was done at some point. Whatever it is, it’s nearly impossible to detect without setting a time limit on queries and bisecting the difference until we can narrow down the offending entry, and skip it. Because queries could naturally take a long time, and because it results in missed data, I’m not comfortable with this approach.

    The workaround is to find and delete the offending reply which is time consuming and tricky but the only way at this stage.

    Here’s how I do debug this and find the offending topics/replies:

    • Once the import hangs, click stop, take a note of where it was up to, e.g. Converting 11,299 – 11,300
    • Click start again and the import will continue from where it left off
    • If it hangs again, take note of where it was up to again
    • Once finished make a fresh copy of the source database
    • Now drop all the rows in the database that are not in the range of rows that failed during import
    • Perform a fresh import using this database with the “Rows Limit” setting set to 1
    • The import should hang on the offending topic/reply
    • Again, take note of the topic/reply it was up to
    • Click stop, click start again to continue on
    • Once you have your list of offenders and the import has finished delete these rows from this database and test again to make sure it completes without hanging
    • Now back in your full database (presumably a copy of the original) delete these same rows from the database and run the import again

    bbPress is tested and works on PHP 5.2.4 and later https://bbpress.org/about/requirements/

    We ensure that bbPress (and the same for WordPress) is to work 100% on PHP 5.2.4 and up, thus including PHP 5.3.x, 5.4.x & 5.5.x.

    We have also begun experimental testing testing with PHP 5.6 alpha and HHVM.

    You would want to remove the topic form from content-single-forum.php

    See this to get going on how to edit bbPress templates so you don’t lose your changes when bbPress is updated https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

    This is working per design of bbPress.

    Removing the “forums prefix” removes be default “forums” or in your case “classes”

    What you are alluding to is you want the “forum” slug removed, similar are the “topic” and “reply” slug settings, these cannot be removed in bbPress at this stage though you can change them.

    A standard bbPress User Profile Edit link should look something like this:

    http://example.com/forums/users/username/edit/

    Similar here on this site your edit profile link should be:
    https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/azafuel/edit/

    Users ‘can’ edit their profile in WordPress backend with the /wp-admin and that is because we are a WordPress plugin that uses WordPress’ users for bbPress so both are valid URL’s for user profiles.

    You can also just use a WordPress theme that includes support for bbPress.

    Just as BuddyPress has a ‘tag filter’ in WordPress’ theme repo, bbPress will also have a tag here in the not too distant future πŸ™‚

    https://wordpress.org/themes/tag-filter/

    For now though you should simple search the themes for “bbPress”
