Use this plugin, it was updated today to also support the new forum subscriptions 🙂

You are going to have more issues than just search and search pagination if Premise is only detecting by forum category and/or post_parent in wp_postmeta.

I expect you will also find them turn up via widgets, shortcodes and custom registered views.

If Premise was detecting by each off bbPress’ post types, forum, topic and reply specifically rather than forum category alone you would find that it would also filter these results correctly from search also alleviating your pagination issue whilst also making sure they didn’t turn up in via widgets, shortcodes or custom views.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

when did that appear !?

bbPress 2.4 😉

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Exactly the same thing, click update, done 😉

What you do need to keep a check on (and something we should make more detailed release notes on) are any updates that you may need to merge into your users custom templates.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Even simpler just disable search in bbPress’ settings

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

You should have all your customizations as per this document
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

Once you have your customizations per that doc you can upgrade bbPress anytime without having to worry about these things.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

That is a pretty awesome forum design, shame it’s not bbPress but for certain with a bit of work in that can be achieved 😉

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

You can also use hidden forums to allow only registered users to view

Visibility:
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

can somebody tell me where to copy the template files so I can customize bbpress. the information here

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

As to extending profile information take a look at how the ‘signature’ is implemented in GD bbPress Tools as a good starting point.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Here are some themes in the WordPress Theme repo that specifically include bbPress out of the box.

• https://wordpress.org/themes/lobster
• https://wordpress.org/themes/firmasite
• https://wordpress.org/themes/ward
• https://wordpress.org/themes/tonic
• https://wordpress.org/themes/wp-knowledge-base
• https://wordpress.org/themes/snowblind
• https://wordpress.org/themes/magazine-basic
• https://wordpress.org/themes/the-skeleton
• https://wordpress.org/themes/mesocolumn
• https://wordpress.org/themes/voyage
• https://wordpress.org/themes/suffusion

As others have already mentioned you can use any theme you want and typically it will just work and if you want to style up your forums to match your theme then you can do that do as per the links already mentioned above.

FYI https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1958 Is where we are tracking and getting feedback on implementation, ideas, feedback and so forth for this feature in bbPress Core.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Glyn,

To keep things easily tracked I’ll post a reply to your thread on BuddyPress shortly.

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/newbie-question-restrict-users-to-individual-subsites/

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Thanks for the links, I hadn’t see Moot before

Personally I am not sure about ‘remember your place’ at all, if I had of used that feature today when I opened bbPress.org would have that put me half way reading topic ‘abc’ in forum ‘xyz’ rather than the home page showing me a summary of what happened recently? Maybe an iterating on that idea a little further where you could have a button/link to ‘Take me to where I last left off’.

Reply directly inline to search results… That wouldn’t be too difficult to implement.

Another good read/watch is this post by @sadr https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/any-plans-to-merge-o2-features-into-bbpress/ on the upcoming O2 theme from WordPress, some really cool stuff in this.

Lastly is the WordPress Heartbeat API and @mordauk has a bit on his blog on an implementation idea in one of his plugins http://pippinsplugins.com/using-the-wordpress-heartbeat-api/

Needless to say there are lots of ideas on future directions of bbPress and BuddyPress, we also have a few features that have been on users want list for quite a while.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

@mistercyril Thanks for that info 🙂

At this stage it looks like if you are having this issue of ‘Replies out of order’ (Sometimes after an edit :S) you also have the issue of all replies only having the even CSS class.

Could you check with your web host what version of PHP your site uses?
(Either contact them directly or create your own phpinfo.php file and upload it to your host, details here how to create one http://www.phpinfofile.com/)

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Nice, glad the issue is resolved, thanks @freewpress for digging into this 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Sorry, hard to keep up with so many posts 😉

bbPress includes and importer for phpBB and with the size of your forum once you click ‘start’ it should be done in less than 30 seconds 🙂

You will lose very little, details of what is not converted is in the links below.

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ & https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Two things:

1. At this stage Moderators will NOT be able to see the ‘forums’ section in the backend eg. /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum no matter what you try, this is the known bug.
2. The ONLY way moderators can create new forums is by filling out the fields and clicking submit using the shortcode [bbp-forum-form]

So no matter what you/we do a moderator will not see the forums in the backend.

That said your moderator user should have had no problems creating forums via the [bbp-forum-form] form.

As I said I tested this myself before posting above. Can you create a new user, login as that user, logout and log back in is admin (or via separate browsers etc).

Did this user get the role ‘participant’ assigned to them after they logged in the first time?

Now promote the user to a ‘Moderator’ and visit the page you created with the shortcode ‘[bbp-forum-form]‘ and fill in and submit the form.

How’d wee go?

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Can you try this instead 😉

Either add this to your themes functions.php or your bbpress-functions.php or download the entire file and install it as a plugin from https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7767761

add_filter ( 'bbp_get_reply_post_date', ntwb_bbpress_enable_date_translation, 10, 6);
add_filter ( 'bbp_get_topic_post_date', ntwb_bbpress_enable_date_translation, 10, 6);
 
function ntwb_bbpress_enable_date_translation( $result, $reply_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time ) {
 
	$date = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $gmt, $reply_id, $translate = true );
	$result = sprintf( _x( '%1$s at %2$s', 'date at time', 'bbpress' ), $date, $time );
	return $result;
}

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

I’m going to try this out right away and let you know what happens.

Cool, I tried it to make sure before I posted the above 😉

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

I am currently using GoDaddy hosting for another site, which allows for 1GB of a mySQL database but I am not sure if that will be enough

That indeed will be more than enough, if you needed 100 times your requirements then maybe some more accurate testing would be required.

Typically with web hosts when you find you are nearing your file and/or database storage limits you will receive a notification from them which would typically include details on how to seamlessly upgrade your site with increased storage for the relevant file or db storage.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Have tried using a default theme in WordPress? eg Twenty Thirteen

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Change your WordPress settings (/wp-admin/options-general.php) to whatever format you require, bbPress will inherit those settings.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

We also fully support showing FunCaptcha on bbPress topic creation and for replies.

Awesome 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Firstly, thanks for the detailed report, it really helps 🙂

This is actually a known issue with moderators and the back end.

The way around this is to use the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode, your moderator/s should have no problems creating new forums from a page setup with this shortcode.

Tried editing role with Capability Manager Enhanced

I am not familiar with this tool and it’s compatibility with bbPress.

A great tool from @johnjamesjacoby is this one Advanced user capability editing for bbPress

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years, 7 months ago]

Do you mean if I have the odd and even classes on the bbpress.css?

No, in the code I posted above the 2nd last class on the 1st line of each entry has even, every second one of these should be ‘odd’ and I am trying to see if there is any correlation betwen these two issues.
