In reply to: Change meta/page title for user pages
What language is the translation file you are using??
In reply to: Daily/Weekly Digest Emailshuh didn’t know that plugin had digest emails too will keep a note of that.
In reply to: Why Should One Add bbPress to BuddyPress?If you want forums, use bbPress if not do not use it.
why did this mess with my permalinks?
explain a little more on this??
It’s been a pain resolving this feature. Is the solution as simple as correcting this alert “Possible bbPress conflict: Topics base.” Right now this is set to subject, so what should I change this to?
The topic slug??
Can you explain a little more on this error?
You set what to subject??
In reply to: Woocommerce account under BBPress profile tabI guess you could link to the My Account page in woocommerce just by adding a link to it in the bbPress forum profile menu??
maybe create a user-details.php file in a bbpress folder in your child theme like this one??
In reply to: How to add a “New Topic” Button and Page?If you need any additional help with setting it up, reply back here.
In reply to: How to add a “New Topic” Button and Page?search the forums, I have said how to do this many times. There are two different ways one using a drop link and another using the new topic shortcode in a page and linking to that.
In reply to: Check if post is visible to userThere might be a conditional to use for that too, do not know really where to put the conditional in a template though.
I will come back to this topic after finding out.
In reply to: Check if post is visible to useris it BuddyPress, and its groups feature??
In reply to: Check if post is visible to useris the forum private or hidden?? what could disallow them access??
In reply to: Please Help – Forum order ProblemDo you have a cache plugin?
In reply to: Forum sidebar not visibleOnly other thing I can think of is you set up a custom index page with a shortcode and you cannot get the forum sidebar to show up on their?? But does it show on single topics, single forums??
check topic for a link to contact the user.
In reply to: Forum sidebar not visiblehow did you create your forum sidebar?
In reply to: Check if post is visible to userusing the plugin is probably better.
In reply to: Please Help – Forum order ProblemWell I am going to assume that you knew that it should be sequential numbers when ordering the forums. But really this is weird, only cache comes to mind really?? You can try clearing any cache then as a test put the forum list widget in your sidebar to see if it is different there or not.
In reply to: Topics accessible to certain users onlyThis seems to do it. Users have to subscribe to be able to reply.
In reply to: Topics accessible to certain users onlyYeah there might be a conditional to tell if the user is subscribed, will test it out later though.
I have seen this list but it is not the same as Feature plugins are for WordPress core.
Im trying to spruce up the page on the bbPress codex.
Not of things on list has anything to do with me personally, just using other popular forum scripts as reference.
Anything that BuddyPress already has as a feature and putting it into bbPress is a BIG decision to make, this could shy away from the plugin integration with BuddyPress in bbPress, but it would make bbPress stand on its own compared to other forum solutions though. Most of the features people want could be added by just installing BuddyPress with bbPress. I am starting to think if users want something like Vbull or IP Board they install should install BuddyPress to add any social network features. If users want a simple forum just use bbPress.
Here is what I think of your plugin list, it is just my opinion, my opinion could change depending on how you reply to how I feel about this. Maybe tell us a reason of why to incorporate these features into core vs a plugin. I just want to know what you think, and please do not just tell use that this forum is doing this and that bbPress should have do it also, make it an interesting discussion.
- Live preview – maybe bring TinyMCE back, as long as it doesn’t have issues
- Report content – Josh Eaton’s plugin I think personally is pretty darn good and well developed to stay being a great plugin for awhile. Might have to see how his plugin favors in the 2015 survey for any core considerations though.
- Ignore User – I don’t know really know, this might need some additional functionality somewhere else, maybe plugin territory.
- bbPress moderation panel separate from backend – I could see improvements on front-end moderation, maybe not exactly similar to the way the backend is set up, but I have ideas.
- Notifications – BuddyPress can add this..
- Make topics/forums read, unread (dont know if it is already in the core) – Not in core, toss up if in core or not, lots of plugins to choose from.already, do not know which one is the most optimal for most sites.
- bbPress TinyMce plugin – Maybe bring TinyMCE back, as long as it doesn’t have issues
- Reply titles – I don’t see a benefit from this, there is already a plugin for this though.
- View counts – I had this implemented on one of my forums using WP PostViews, after awhile I got to thinking that the voice and reply count really do show how popular a certain topic is, especially the voice count. Because the higher the voice count amount the more participation from users and not just back and forth between two people. Plus this will bulk up your database with a bunch of data.
- Topics for posts (very important even if not used on all installations) – Something like this is set for core. The creating a new topic for each blog post and linking to the topic where the comment form is gold. Entirely replacing the comments is where I had thoughts about this and I started to question possible issues that might come forth from this, and also the set up needed to make this work flawlessly.
- Online / Offline status – Don’t know really, I don’t really care either way, it is neat though.
- bbPress Polls (not shortcode based) – Maybe someone should just fork _ck_’s version of polls and make it work for bbPress v2, but this in my opinion this should stay plugin territory.
- Attachments – bbPress definitely needs more support for the import of attachments from other forum solutions, but managing them might shift to BuddyPress because they have the attachment API now, and BuddyPress might handle it better. I could see a simple image upload button in toolbar though.
- Move topics / replies between subforums – Yeah probably needs to be core. Maybe just topics with its own replies, not single replies??
- Avatar management – Same thing with attachments, needs more support for the import of avatars, managing them might be considered a toss up too, maybe BuddyPress/plugin territory, maybe core.
- Like / Vote topics, replies (I personally would never use this one, but..) – Probably plugin territory, I have seen some great plugins for this that are compatible with bbPress though. This also gives the user to have more choices on what to use, a 5 star rating, thumb voting, up down rating, like only topics. There are lots of choices.
- New plugin that makes it easy to add custom fields and add them where you need (this one is not referenced by other forum scripts).- I think you could use Advanced Custom Fields, but I am not entirely sure where you are going with this one??
Take some of those plugis from your list and give them to bbPress core developers. Or ask original developers to sign some of you on list of plugin Authors. For those developers who dont have much free time you have some plugins literally made from one-two PHP files. Just as it is a GPL take ownership from todays developers, or cooperate with them as co-maintainer Author.
Well this is tough sometimes too, contributing is one thing but taking ownership is another. Some devs might not see eye to eye, some have probably have gotten most of their income based on a very popular bbPress plugin.
There are plugins that I have suggested merging into core because they seem to improve areas that bbPress already has, the plugin seemed simple enough to consider thinking about since it is very commonly requested, and also that it would make life easier in some cases. I have also contacted a few developers if they wanted to contribute some have said they would like to see what they made into core, and others have not replied back.
Also some plugins could be very small, that might not mean put it in the plugin anyway.
There is not a lot of core devs in bbPress as one might think to start taking over some plugins while bbPress would have a bug that needs to be fixed, testing, code improvements, and other features added to core that may not exactly be a plugin on WordPress.
If you mean just any other active plugin developer to ask them to take over stuff, well I can’t really tell what they are good at besides making their own plugin. And I don’t want to seem bossy by asking people to do stuff that they might not agree to or have time to.
All those names of developers are very active in core community. Developers of bbPress plugins are not.
Either they abandon plugin and lose lust, dissapear.WordPress core is very active compared to bbPress, but they are two different things. One is a plugin the other is the entire CMS. Other forum solutions are CMS’s to themselves but bbPress is just a plugin.
If there are some plugins that are abandoned and do not have an alternative/fork that you think the plugin should be resurrected and be contributed to, you can say which plugins here.
I think I got most of your points, if I missed one point it out. Try not to be rude at all or come off as rude, just have a decent discussion.
In reply to: Check if post is visible to userIf you are using the User Switching plugin you switch to a user by going to Users > All Users then searching for that user and clicking the switch to link. You can also switch to the user by visiting their profile in the backend or frontend.
In reply to: Allow registered members to start topicsYou could use the regular WordPress toolbar, that is exactly what bbpress.org uses.
Anything custom you have to do it yourself, or hire a developer. Only thing I can say is you probably need CSS to style the drop down profile form.
In reply to: Importing from WBB4are you trying to import one giant file, or did you split it up into manageable chunks??
In reply to: Header in new ‘topics’Link to site so I can see the issue, it might need some CSS.
@carlharrison1 <- sorry I was probably lazy that day.You would have to create a custom template for bbPress or a bbpress.php file so that all your forum pages use this.
i guess if your slider is using a shortcode you can echo the shortcode in the template too.
You need to show it only on pages you want, so single topics, single forums, forum archive, and topic archive. Usually I see sliders have a conditional to show on the home page only so you would to do something similar but only on bbPress pages. You can input multiple conditionals using && or | for example,
<?php if ( bbp_is_single_topic() && bbp_is_single_forum() && bbp_is_forum_archive() && bbp_is_topic_archive()) : ?> <?php echo do_shortcode("[shortcode]"); ?> <?php endif; ?>In reply to: Forum posts to mirror main forum designYou would have to create a custom template for bbPress or a bbpress.php file so that all your forum pages use this.

Well I don’t have a say in plugin release dates, but I bet version 2.6 might come out soon with this feature implicated. You know we have to run tests on everything and make sure it does not break something right?? That takes some time too.
Maybe you could recommend any additional plug-ins to solve this problem?
Sorry but no plugins come to mind that have this feature.
