In reply to: How to showcase select topics on homepage
This would require some custom development for the layout. So you may need to hire a developer/designer to do that type of layout.
But I think how slickdeals has it, is basically creating blog posts and also a topic for each blog post for users to discuss.
This plugin may help with creating a topic for every blog post you create.
In reply to: How to remove all of the Author information?I think editing the bbPress templates removing all instances of
bbp_author_link()andbbp_reply_author_link()would be what you are looking for.You can also edit the loop (like loop-topics.php) files to remove the text that says Author and Posts, or use some CSS.
no problem
In reply to: 500 Internal Server Error after updateFollow anything that is listed on this WordPress Codex guide

In reply to: Bulk Forum CreationYou can kind of do the same process that is mentioned here.
And you could possibly use a plugin to create forums too like this one
In reply to: How to Change Freshness Time FormatThis should just change it to something like
1 hour ago/26 minutes ago/5 days ago/8 months ago/2 years ago

In reply to: Say hi to RobkkThanks 🙂
In reply to: Topics Not Showing on Forum Index PageHowever I have topics associated with forums and if you click on the forum the topics do show (Introductions – for example has a topic in it). But even though the topic shows once the correct forum is clicked the notification banner at the top states “This Forum is Empty”
Hmm try some troubleshooting , clear cache run repair tools.
In reply to: purpose of activate componentThe activate component I think you are talking about is part of BuddyPress. It is basically registration confirmation.
In reply to: bbPress.org profile edit redirect error@dallenstyle @folgerj @telcanli
Contacted the devs about the issue.
Thanks for debugging and creating this ticket, sorry for not responding earlier though.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2829
I will contact the devs about this to see what they think.
In reply to: Theme is causing 404 errorsThe freshness looks off a little, if your theme had custom bbPress templates in it you can copy that over to your child theme if you still want to use a child theme. Well if copying the templates caused the freshness looking off issue.
For your 404 errors you really have to try to find a resolution from the theme author since the issue is present from the theme.
In reply to: Hacking the conversion scriptAre they just uploaded to the server and navigated to in the browser?
they both seem to be standalone PHP scripts.
on the SMF one the creator says how he ran it.

The kuena one is detailed by the author here.
In reply to: Importing from WBB4in the original code you will see
'from_tablename' => 'wbb1_1_post',you listed it as being just
wbb1_postso edit that to the correct table name.In reply to: Theme is causing 404 errorsYou can try and see if resetting your permalinks helps any
Other than that maybe try putting the main bbPress templates into a child-theme.
Maybe the URL of the registration page can be used as the URI.
Yes use that page you created with the bbPress registration form shortcode. You can also use the default WordPress registration page which would be.
http://yoursite.com/open/wp-login.php?action=register
Same for the Lost Password page, you can use the page you placed the bbPress lost password shortcode or the default lost password form by WordPress.
9 years. Man. Can you stop rely on third party developers and plugins. They are simply said a mess.
This one from this trac is not the only one lacking in forum core.First 5 years is an entirely different bbPress from what it is now, but the last 4 it picked up more and more and now it seems to be finished from what I can tell.
Make a list of “must” things in the core. Otherways you lose time coding, relatively nobody use bbPress.
There is this, that lists possible considerable plugin functionality that might be in the core. I need to clean it up later though and move some information I placed their earlier to some other guide I created. There are also probably more functionality I recommended to be adopted that I haven’t yet listed in the page yet.
Share tasks between bbPress core developers and give each of them, or few of them, adopt a fetured plugin. it doesnt have to be in the core. Just some security it will follow all changes in the bbPress core and adapt fast to changes, continue to work with all new bbPress version.
Plugin functionality adoption happens for some plugins like bbPress threaded replies which made its way to core, and also topic/forum subscriptions. Other plugins need to rely on the plugin author to keep up, if there is an issue or no updates the community will usually fork/adopt the plugin. I might help though, I thought about it.
I repeat, third party (plugins) community for bbPress is a complete mess and cannot be trusted. How do you expect people can sleep well with 5-15 thousands of registered Users on forum and one important third party plugin has a developer writing one comment per year on support forum. Or per 3 months, one per month. All the same.
Hopefully when I get around to writing the Plugin developer section in the codex, that it will help most of the code quality/security side of things. But right now most devs will have to use the WordPress codex to gain their knowledge of this (I am mostly gonna base the information I learn from this).
Support Forum activity has many factors to it. The dev could be busy or just stopped supporting the plugin.
Also would you mind sending me list of plugins that you may not trust through my email, not to call anyone out in the forum. And see if I can take a look at why you may be thinking that.
Thanks Robkk. Unfortunately, It’s on a corporate intranet and the server we are using is firehost. You wouldn’t be able to log in from where you are and the content is confidential.
Yeah sorry wasn’t thinking right, was half-asleep yesterday.
You can email me a list of plugins on your site so I could see if I recall any that may cause any issues.
bbPress should be able to work in an intranet environment, I guess if it is just a private community. There might be a bug if your site contains a port in the url though.
In reply to: replies to topics appear emptyIts some CSS in your theme something is hiding the .reply class probably in your WordPress comments and it is affecting bbPress replies.
Adding this CSS should fix it.
#bbpress-forums .reply { display: block }In reply to: Hacking the conversion scriptHere both import attachments to GD bbPress attachments
Here is a link to a gist on one for SMF.

Here is one for Kunena.
In reply to: Hacking the conversion scriptThe Invision converter is in
wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\admin\converters\invision
if you don’t mind share your conversion code/experience to the community, it would help a lot.
There have been users doing something similar to this especially for attachments (but probably different forum system). I can also show you their code if that would help you any.
Are you using threaded replies?? Do you have Paid Memberships Pro on your site?? Does replying work in a default theme like Twenty Twelve??
It should work? What WordPress and bbPress version are you using?
You can create me an Admin account so I can see if I can find an issue, you can email me the login details to my email listed here.
