In reply to: forum search page always fullwidthwhat theme are you using, and link to a live example on your site please
In reply to: Import issues, not syncing correctlyI am not a bbpress author, just someone who helps out here.
Moving bbpress between sites is surprisingly difficult.
This is because bbpress is so tightly integrated into WordPress.
This gives 2 main issues:
1. Users – bbpress stores topic and reply authors as their WordPress user ID number. So unless the all the bbpress authors users on the source site a) exist on the target site and b) have exactly the same ID numbers on the target site, then imports can have issues.
2. bbpress users WordPress Custom post types and the WordPress Posts table. This means that bbpress forums, topics and replies are not in a separate table, but integrated into posts and pages table. Many plugins use this method. So on the source site a fourm might have a post ID of say 168, but on the target site post 168 might already exist as say a page. So on import WordPress importer will just allocate it the next ID number in the posts table, lets say 265. Now when topic belonging to the forum 168 on the source site is imported it still thinks it belongs to a forum with a post ID of 168, but this is already allocated to a page, so the topic is not listed as belonging to any known forum. The same applies to topics and replies.
I’ll post more on this later, but that outlines why it is not working
In reply to: wpForo to bbPress?um… you don’t seem to understand how Open Software works, who and how much are you paying to get customer service???
In reply to: Can someone please tell me how and whyI appreciate that you are feeling a sense of frustration.
But both WordPress and bbpress are free software, and come with free support offered by volunteers.
In effect you are asking someone to take their free time to help you, and then complaining that it is not at the level you want.
When I asked for a link to your forum page, you were unable to provide this, giving a link to a page that does not exist. As such it is hard to help – a bit like asking for help with your car, but then not allowing me to examine your car.
If you provide a link to the forum, the I may be able to help further, otherwise ethe best I can offer is to read the documentationand/or the advice in
In reply to: Forum layout settingshas lots of options to style and add features to bbpress
In reply to: The layout of the forumthese are ‘admin’ buttons which normal users don’t see.
In reply to: Add forum subscribe link to another locationsorry, weekend and other things got in the way, but I have been playing with this.
Try :
add_shortcode ('bbp-forum-subscription-link' , 'rew_forum_subscription_link' ) ; function rew_forum_subscription_link ($atts) { $args = array() ; if (empty ($atts['forum'])) return ; $args['object_id'] = $atts['forum'] ; if (!empty ($atts['subscribe'])) $args['subscribe'] = $atts['subscribe']; if (!empty ($atts['unsubscribe'])) $args['unsubscribe'] = $atts['unsubscribe']; return bbp_get_forum_subscription_link ($args) ; }and then put this wherever it want it to appear
[bbp-forum-subscription-link forum="2927" subscribe="Subscribe to Fishing Report" unsubscribe="Unsubscribe to Fishing Report" ]with the forum number and whatever wording you want
In reply to: bbpress cssmore a buddypress question – try
In reply to: More SEO’d URLsNo probs – if you can find an article on the net that talks about SEO and URL hierarchy I’d be interested to see it. From my albeit brief googling, I found nothing that indicated that URL’s structure mattered, just the words.
you might do better to just install
this should let you match or contrast elements as you wish
In reply to: More SEO’d URLsIs there a way to remove the “Forum”? Even that feels unnecessary to me. Again I’m no expert in SEO.
given that you don’t know if having these makes SEO worse, neutral or even better, you seem a bit obsessed by it 🙂
Like you, I am no SEO expert, but I have seen nothing in any discussions of forums for SEO that even mentions the URL’s, and most forums I have seen use this structure.
In reply to: More SEO’d URLsThe same goes for the subforums which are now /Forum/root/subforum_name, and I would like to get rid of the root here as well (it doesn’t show up in the forum index). What is the purpose of the Forum Root slug, anyway??
dashboard>settings>forums>forum prefix and exclude it!
In reply to: subfolderthat’s how it works by default
what are you seeing?
In reply to: User Extra Information to bbpress user profileif they want to look at code that already does this, then they can download and crack open the code in
In reply to: Help Pleaseok, that just goes to a 404 page.
Try dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save.
In reply to: User Profile Page with Diviin this link
I suggested this as a solution
dashboard>Divi >Theme options>Builder >Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear.
then
dashboard>divi>Theme Options>Performance> Dynamic CSS option and disableTHEN critically you need to clear and server side caching, AND clear your browser cache.
Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed.
Browser – see this helpful articlethen it all worked fine
In reply to: Help Pleaselink to a live example please
posts, postmeta and options
bbpress just uses the custom post type features of bbpress, so the entries are mixed in with all the page, post and any other custom post types you have.
options holds the settings
In reply to: User Extra Information to bbpress user profileyou can hook to various actions in bbpress eg
add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'xxx', 50,2 ) ; //does the display/edit if viewing another's profile add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'xxx', 50,2 ) ; //does the save if viewing own profile add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'xxx' ); //does the save if viewing another's profile add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'xxx' );but would need user registration to tell you what functions to put in the xxx
In reply to: Auto close inactive topics after 7 daysgreat – glad you are fixed 🙂
In reply to: Auto close inactive topics after 7 daysIn reply to: bbpress on twenty twenty two theme not visibleThis is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
As well as bbpress installonce activated, navigate to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.
In that tab, select
Enable Theme Support
and save
The forums should then display
