Yes it is a multisite (network) installation. Currently I am only using one site but I prepared this for future sites to be added.

My active plugins:

Akismet Anti-Spam
bbPress
Contact Form
GRAND Fla Gallery
Honeypot for Contact Form 7
Network Privacy
Slider Revolution
The EVents Calendar
Wordpress Importer
Wordpress MU Domain Mapping (notsure if Im even using this or if it is a leftover…)
WP DSGVO Tools

Wordpress, Themes and Addons are all on the latest version.

Kind regards,
Thomas

probably this

GD bbPress Attachments

[Robin W]

bbp buddypress profile information

[Robin W]

bbp profile information

should do what you want 🙂

[Robin W]

start with

dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time.

If that doesn’t fix, or it starts happening again then

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>big fixes

and tick the fix last active time

[Robin W]

try adding

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes and tick the threaded replies box

let me know if this works

[Robin W]

I did some thinking around this last night.

Basically bbpress looks for an author ID in the posts table.

Now there’s a hook in the topic/reply handlers (topic for topics, reply for replies, so they mirror) after a topic/reply is created.

do_action( ‘bbp_new_reply_post_extras’, $reply_id );

so if each of your characters has a WordPress user ID, then you could just hook to this, and change the post author to the worpress user ID.

so say

add_action ('bbp_new_reply_post_extras' , 'your function') ;

function your_function ($reply_id) {
$id = [either use the $_POST if still available and maybe have the value as the WordPress user ID , or get_post_meta for d20_character in the reply_id and do a look up to translate value to WordPress user ID]
$my_post = array(
      'ID'           =>$reply_id,
      'post_author'   => $id,
      );
 
// Update the post into the database
  wp_update_post( $my_post );

}

that way each topic/reply has a real author that happens to be your character chosen in the topic/reply form.
that would save a ton of coding in the output, and risk of missing one and exposing the real user.

it may be that your mail client is chopping emails with multiple recipients

try this

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

[Ellis Benus]

Yep… I’m aware… That’s why I asked about documentation. If anyone can (usefully) respond with a link to an area of the documentation that deals with user identities at submission or how a post/thread/reply is associated with a given user.

My current idea is to program the “submit reply” box to have a drop menu that lists a certain selection of names. If I have to create user accounts for each, I can, but I’m thinking instead of making a custom post type called Characters which it populates from. This would allow me to associate multiple characters with one user, give them each avatars, and additional details.

If a reply MUST be associated with an actual WordPress user, then I can have it associate with the user account submitting, but check if they selected a Character CPT and, if so, show that name and avatar instead.

Hi all.

Sorry, if this is the wrong forum ..
We are a non-profit organisation, ARTSCENICO – http://www.artscenico.com, and we have recently updated our website, and installed a bbPress forum. After now something like 6 or 7 plugins installed, I get a bit lost in it all, and I would need help to technically manage the site, and do some adjustments now and then, maybe improve it by having one or 2 paid plugins who do it all, instead of so many where you loose the overview. So basically I look for someone to help us develop there forum, preferably someone from EU as we are a European federation, and yes we think of paying this person. But all this would then be a question of details to clear between us.

If you – on top of it – are very good in wordpress homepages / template adaptions etc. This would be a plus, as some help might be needed there now and then too.

If you are interested, please contact us with some information about you via our website. Thank you 🙂

Private groups

[Chuckie]

Ok, it seems that in BBPress my register page does not allow for you to specify the nickname:

Register

My BBPress Edit profile page allows you to edit your nickname though.

I see No where in general to specify what to display, apart from editing my profile in WordPress backend.

That said, I realise my username is displayed here as it is the @ text.

I am reluctant to show usernames you see. According to my security logs I have so many attempts to hack into my site my username.

[Robin W]

mail is one of the hardest things to debug in WordPress – there are so many factors that might be affecting.

this plugin works successfully on my sites

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms

[deborahdavidson]

One or two subscribers are not receiving email notifications despite having subscribed to the Forum. I’ve checked on the Forum and you can see that they have subscribed but looking at the mail logs, their email addresses aren’t on it. Has this happened to anyone else? Would be really grateful for your help. Latest WordPress & BBpress being used. Does it take some time for notifications to be sent after a member has registered? I’ve sent a test email through BB Style and they’ve received it but nothing is coming through from the Forum. Many thanks.

[Robin W]

Private forums should provide what you want.

If items are going into moderation :
1. what other bbpress related plugins are you running?
2. are you putting links into threads – this is allowed, but try one with just text.

on profiles add

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile

Hi there,

sorry if this is the wrong subforum. We are creating a forum for our members which are already registered on our WordPress site. And I’m currently testing the forum. Now I have the following problem.

Two things are very important:
1) the members/users should be able to create threads and write answers in threads without confirmation from the moderator
2) the forum may not be seen public

What is the solution for this? When I put everything in private mode the threads (opened by my test account) need confirmation from the moderator to open.
And when I put everything in public mode, other users (who are not registered with us) are able to see the forum when they know the URL. They are not able to create new threads or answer but they can see everything. It should, however, be private.

Also another thing: is there a way to deactivate the option to read the profiles of users? We want to keep privacy as high as possible so this would be of great help.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I tried to create a small community forum on our webpage, however I am facing some issues.

I am running WordPress 5.4 and installed the most current version of bbpress through the plugins section, activated it network wide, created a forum, creted a post, all working well.

Then I thought I need a way for the users to register and after some googling, I found out that I have to create a page that contains the [bbp-register], which I did. When I visit that page it shows the registration form. I enter a username and Email and when I submit, the site refreshes to wp-signup.php which shows another registration form asking for the same information. When I enter the data there again, registration is working, but that is not how it is supposed to be, right?

Kind regards,
Thomas

Hello!

I have a bbPress forum on my website. http://www.fullspectrumasd.org. I tested the registration system and was able to create a test user, but others who are trying to register are not receiving the automated registration email from WordPress. I have people waiting to use the forum who are not able to create a password. How can I get them registered?

Thanks,
Katie

yes, the function seems to look up the reply position and if it exists, does not change it

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_position' , 'rew_redo_reply_position', 10 , 3 ) ;

function rew_redo_reply_position ($reply_position, $reply_id, $topic_id) {
		// Get required data
		$reply_id       = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
		
			// Get topic ID
			$topic_id = ! empty( $topic_id )
				? bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id )
				: bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id );

			// Post is not the topic
			if ( $reply_id !== $topic_id ) {
				$reply_position = bbp_get_reply_position_raw( $reply_id, $topic_id );

				// Update the reply position in the posts table so we'll never have
				// to hit the DB again.
				if ( ! empty( $reply_position ) ) {
					bbp_update_reply_position( $reply_id, $reply_position );
				}

			// Topic's position is always 0
			} else {
				$reply_position = 0;
			}
		

		// Bump the position by one if the topic is included in the reply loop
		if ( ! bbp_show_lead_topic() ) {
			$reply_position++;
		}

		// Filter & return
		return (int) apply_filters( 'rew_redo_reply_position', $reply_position, $reply_id, $topic_id );
	}

and come back with whether that fixes, it may not retro fix, so you may need to delete another reply to get it to work.

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

and change “bbp-topic-tags” to whatever you want

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_tag_list_parse_args' , 'rew_change_class' ) ;

function rew_change_class ($args) {
	$args['before'] = '<div class="bbp-topic-tags"><p>' . esc_html__( 'Tagged:', 'bbpress' ) . '&nbsp;' ;
return $args ;
}

[Robin W]

install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display and add item 6

then

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>custom css and add

.bbp-forum-info .bbp-forum-content {
	display: none !important;
}

[adamgby]

Hey. The shortcut [bbp-single-forum id = $ forum_id] has stopped working on my web page. When a parent forum should be displayed with sub-forums, nothing is displayed. When I upload ids of sub-forums, the topics embedded in them are visible.
For exemple: parent id=1, sub id=2:
[bbp-single-forum id = 1] – nothing displays, no sub-forums visible
[bbp-single-forum id = 2] – topics are displayed

After entering [bbp-forum-index], nothing is displayed either.
What’s going on?

Info: bbPress 2.6.4, Jannah Theme
Plugins with bbPress: bbp profile information, bbp style pack, bbP topic count, GD bbPress Attachments, GD bbPress Tools, rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress.

I am trying to move a forum from one site to a new one. I went to Tools > Export on the old site and exported “forums”, “topics” and “replies”. Then I went to the new site and went to Tools > Import > WordPress and imported each. I am seeing all the data in the admin as far as I can tell but when I try and view it on the front end it is not showing any replies within the topics. The listing page of topics is correctly showing how many replies there should be, but none appear.

I then tried going to Tools > Forum and repairing each item separately and after I did that It was only showing each topic on the frontend as not having any replies.

However, if I do the import without doing the repair and then go to the reply I’m expecting to see and “save” it… I now see that reply under the proper topic on the frontend.

Thoughts?

[Robin W]

bbp topic count

and use shortcode

[display-top-users]

[Robin W]

this

Function reference

suggests

pll_register_string($name, $string, $group, $multiline);
‘$name’ => (required) name provided for sorting convenience (ex: ‘myplugin’)
‘$string’ => (required) the string to translate
‘$group’ => (optional) the group in which the string is registered, defaults to ‘polylang’
‘$multiline’ => (optional) if set to true, the translation text field will be multiline, defaults to false

so maybe

pll_register_string( 'slug_users', '_bbp_user_slug', 'polylang' );
