bbp style pack
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation
I can’t remember if it does an email to the user and I am on holiday, so can you check. If it doesn’t let me know and I’ll look to add this.
I am just a moderator here, and not a bbpress author.
The authors tend to release updates every few years, rather than more frequently.
My personal view is that you should consider bbpress to be a ‘mature’ product, ie any releases will be to fix issues rather than add functionality.
bbpress is written really well, and has loads of hooks. There are no show stopper bugs in it, it may throw a few deprecation notices (and these are very few at the moment), but WordPress recommends that you should not show error messages in live sites.
I currently have my test site running 8.1 with no issues.
The only major issue with bbpress at the moment is that it does not work well with FSE themes.
However my bbp style pack plugin has fixes for this
bbp style pack
as well as block versions of the widgets and a ton of styling and functionality add-ons.
All plugins are subject to the authors commitment, and I would not count on ANY plugin having a 10 year support timescale, so other options offer the same amount of certainty.
As @terresquall says the main WordPress support forums use bbpress, and it would be mega work to move those over to some other product.
But yes, with open software you make your choices….
download this
Hello Elementor bbPress fix
and then use this to style and add features
bbp style pack
yep, choose your moderators with care 🙂
I’m sure it could be logged, but beyond free help.
I’m away for a couple of weeks, but come back if you’d like me to take a look and see how much work involved
strangely, no-one has asked this in the ten years I have been moderating!!
I’ve just taken a look, and changing to spam or unapproving keeps no record
more a Blocksy theme question than a bbpress one.
Lots of sidebar plugins eg
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/custom+sidebars/
what theme are you using?
so in
dashboard>users>your username
do you have the keymaster role ?
contact me via
Contact me
with a link back to this thread
Just had another thought
can you go to
dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save.
This resets the permalinks.
Then try the keymaster bug fix again
ok, that is strange, and not sure why that would happen.
The fact that the option to add keymaster back appears should mean that it just goes through ok.
I think you will need to add it back within the database.
do you have phpmyadmin access ?
so in dashboard do you see forums, topics or replies?
\bbpress\includes\topics\template.php line 3277
the ‘get’ function has a filter on it you can hook to
ok, so if you have no keamasters, I refer you back to my previous post about installing the additional plugin, you can uninstall it aftwerwards, it just lets you add a keymaster if you are an admin and there are no keymasters assigned.
if that is what you meant by ‘ unfortunately didn’t work.’, the you need to say exactly what you mean by that statement, what did you do, see, press and what happened
sorry, I don’t understand.
do you have someone who is a keymaster or not?
I’m not a bbpress author, so cannot comment on why.
ok, so if there are no keymasters, if you add this plugin:
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes
you will get the ability to add yourself back as a keymaster
ok, so yes only keymasters can see forums in the dashboard
and only a keymaster can appoint another keymaster, so you’ll need to get the ID with the role to appoint you :
dashboard>users>all users> and select the ID you want to appoint, then edit and near the bottom you’ll see the bbpress roles listed.
have a look in
dashboard>users>your username
you should be a ‘keymaster’
let me know what that says
@codejp3 the issue with the convertors is 2 fold.
1. it needs the users on both sites to be exactly the same user_ID’s
2. With a million replies it’ll fall over and need repeating/restarting – going the database route is the best option
my recommendation would be to
on the destination site export any posts and pages (there are not usually that many) using dashboard>ttols>export. Then use phpmyadmin and move the whole source site to the destination site.
Then you can import the posts pages and add back any users unique to the destination site.
that way the linkage between users, topics and replies will remain in tact.
the fact that any old destination site page or post ID’s and user ID’s change should not matter
php level.
Frankly it’s really not easy to move forums, topics and replies between sites if not moving the while site.
bbpress users custom post types, and manages the relationships between them via both post_parent and post meta. If you just export and import again, if the post ID frtom the source site is already being used by the destinatiion site, the the wp import process just allocates a free number, so the relationships gets all messed up.
ditto if the user ID’s do not exactly match, then again these get to be wrong.
I have done transfers as paid jobs for clients in the past, and have some code that does a few bits that get over this, but it is not really generic, so would need someone who knows WordPress database well and is happy with php. I am short on time at the moment to do the job.
it does what it does 🙂
