In reply to: Languages in bbPress
these spammers are pretty smart , it provides relevant information but then sneaks that spam link right at the end.

In reply to: No topics shown to forum participantsAlright make sure both of you have gone through these troubleshooting steps.
- Deactivate all plugins except bbPress.
- Switch to a default theme
- Flush permalinks by switching to default , save , next switch to your preferred structure then save again
- Clear any cache
- Go to Tools > Forums > Repair Forums then run each repair job one at a time.
Does it Work??
If it does work now, activate your plugins one at a time and make sure to spot the one that might have caused the issue.
Not a plugin issue??
You can try these plugins one at a time to see which one helps.
And hopefully it works after all that.
In reply to: Edit Profile CustomizationSee if this helps you. Same basic idea for profile fields. When you add a profile field it will show up in the edit profile section.
There is a checkbox in the edit profile section template that you can use as an example.
In reply to: I cant Add Sidebar to my forum homepageJust shy away from using shortcodes for forum pages , it will be time consuming. You would have to possibly create pages for all instances of any bbPress page. This includes topic pages and user profile pages.
The way you could get a non-fullwidth layout is to contact your theme author , which I think is Avada for help. Since they have more knowledge of how the theme works and I can’t just buy a theme and test it out and tell you what to do to have this layout.
You could also do this manually with my help guiding you, but you would need some basic knowledge of how WordPress templates work.
This guide will help with getting the layout , you would need to add the sidebar code back in like how the example template has. Please note that that is just an example template and is not something to copy and paste since all themes are different.
In reply to: bbPress url to subdomainI interprete your “use WordPress as CMS not as blog” as : use “show static page” instead of “show last posts” in “customization”…
CMS is an acronym content management system, and what I mean is instead of using WordPress for creating blog posts you can just use to manage your forums, users, etc.
So I should put the bbPress root template as this static page. and fix the root folder as “” ?
that what you suggest ?You could use the forum index shortcode [bbp-forum-index] or [bbp-topic-index] and place this in a page and make that your front page if that is what you want.
Or create a custom homepage template to use like this site has.
Read this for information about that. Creating Page Templates
I don’t want to have a “/forum” in the URL.
As for removing that I dont think you can , you can remove /forums though in settings > forums.
You can rename /forum to whatever you want though.
In reply to: phpBB Transition Questionthe reply above me is spam do not worry about that.
Thanks for your input. Do I find the membership plugins on the regular wordpress site or here on the bbpress site?
I guess either one really , it is just the same data. Search “bbpress membership”
you would probably get
Paid Memberships Pro
s2Member
bbPress extension for membermouse
Premium membership with Bitcoin
Restrict Content Pro – bbPressThere are probably more but might require some searching on google , you should test them out on a test site before installing on a production site.
In reply to: phpBB Transition QuestionIs there then a way to merge users? So that if someone registered on the WordPress site and separately on the forums that afterwards they can be combined?
You can delete a user then attribute their content to another user
We have a members-only section for our forums. I understand these forums will be made public and we would need to hide them, but is there a way to set up users that have access only to certain sections while the general public has access to everything else? I don’t want to assign all of our members the ability to edit content on the site, just have access to a members only forum.
There are a couple of membership plugins that are compatible with bbPress, you could also use the bbPress private groups plugin.
Will this create two separate MySQL databases? Will the old phpBB still be there and operational? Can the two be used simultaneously and will content posted in one cross-post to the other once merged to bbpress?
Your phpbb data will be imported into the WordPress database where bbPress would usually be. Cross posting I’m not sure. You should test this out on a test site to make sure everything is working okay and to your expectations.
In reply to: bbPress url to subdomainI think you would have to use Multi-site , there are parts of the multisite installation to include either sub-directories or sub-domains.
And you do not have to use WordPress for a blog , you can just use it instead as a CMS.
In reply to: 502 Error on Replies PageIs there any other way to see all replies without that page on the WordPress dashboard? Is there something I can do behind the scenes to see it?
Maybe look in the database in the posts table.
Was wanguard the only security/spam plugin you added??
In reply to: prevent URLs in bbpress postsIm not sure maybe bbp_new_reply_pre_insert ?? All the hooks are listed here though.
In reply to: How to make forum private (via wp-members login)If you have a WordPress site , you are logged into WordPress.
with any front-end authentication form all the data is stored in WordPress.
In reply to: Languages in bbPressThere are compatibility issues , there might be alternatives for a multilingual plugin or how you want to set up your site.
Maybe setup two different domains for each language, and two different sets of forums.
In reply to: Forum, Topics, and Replies missing for other usersThis might be normal behavior, I will test it out though.
In reply to: prevent URLs in bbpress postsI am not sure,
you might need some custom development for only making it work on certain user roles and to have the functionality that you want.
In reply to: Change colourits okay , glad fixed your own issue.
I couldn’t see your site anyway because all it shows on my end is a white screen. Is this another issue??
In reply to: Not getting forum notificationsDoes the bbpress notify (no spam) notifcations work??
Does default bbPress forum notifcations work without wp-smtp??
In reply to: phpBB Transition QuestionIn reply to: bbPress Moderation -> deactivate topic subscriptionsSo topic subscriptions do not work if you subscribe to the topic after it has been approved??
Did topic subscriptions work before you installed bbpress moderation??
In reply to: Mobile theme conflictGo through some troubleshooting steps.
It might be a conflicting plugin so leave bbPress and Jetpack activated.
In reply to: Description under title forumdo you have a custom bbPress theme??
because the forum description should show on the frontendthe topic description does not show below the topic title like the forum description should do by default.
All titles should show though.
for the forum description make sure you have
<div class="bbp-forum-content"><?php bbp_forum_content(); ?></div>in
loop-single-forum.phpIn reply to: Sidebar IssueTry some troubleshooting steps listed here.
If they say the issue persists in a default theme , then it either is a plugin issue or just how you are trying to set up your forums.
In reply to: Sidebar IssueThis is caused because bbPress is rendering a certain template in your theme , this happens to be a template that is full width without a sidebar.
Is your theme a premium theme or a free theme??
If it is free, I can check it out and tell you what you need to do.
If it is premium , the theme authors will have to help you as I cannot just buy a theme just to test it.
see if this guide can help you though?? It tells you about modifying the main template , you can use this to put the sidebar back in.
If you have any questions about it or suggested improvements please let me know.
In reply to: Plugin ConflictYeah you are correct , I just tested it myself and see the issue.
All I can recommend is either contacting the plugin author , or find an alternative to that plugin.
In reply to: Translation doesn't work.I just translated my test site into German, I don’t see an issue??
As long as you have the latest active versions files it should work.
Did you get your .po and .mo files from here??
