Great – thanks for posting that – I now understand 🙂

is this a WordPress.com hosted site?

[Robin W]

for moderation This one still works as far as I know and would let you moderate guest posts

bbPress – Moderation Tools

as for registration, bbpress just uses WordPress registration, so a plugin that does that would be fine. You don’t state what plugins you have tried, and why they didn’t work – if you find one that is close, come back.

[terotolkki]

I am trying to achieve the following:

Allow users to post as guests but those would always go to moderation first. Registered users can post normally.

Allow users to register to my forum through some social plugin so they don’t need to register yet to another website. I just haven’t found a suitable social plugin that would help with this.

Point with all this is to lower the bar for people to start using the forum.

Any help would he highly appreciated.

I am running WordPress version 5.4 and bbPress version is 2.6.4. Website is in coming soon mode so I can’t provide a link to it.

looks like a genesis theme

try adding

bbPress Genesis Extend

that should fix it

come back if not

Thanks I will bear your link in mind as I do have some WordPress projects on the go and could do with help at times for reasonable cost or maybe there are things I can help with (decent copywriter and editor!)

Amazing how one bad advice can change everything – based on this $2500 quote I’ve decided to ditch wordpress/bbpress for the project and go for one click install of Vanilla and save myself $2500 to setup a forum lol.

[robbytherobot]

Hello, sorry first of all I am not a full on developer so forgive any basic questions, I have only just considered using bbpress for a forum I want to setup, I am familiar with WordPress and working with various plugins, can modify basic code etc when I need to, however it’s not my main job. I’ve installed bbpress and am looking at getting a theme to work well with it. Am willing to pay for a pro theme that is simple for users, nothing that special is required.

I just want to ask how hard is it as a fairly competent end user with some technical know how to set up a basic bbpress site, add a fairly functional user friendly theme, and get a forum up and running? It’s not wordpress.org, it might have max 100 users, closed/private forum.

I had assumed like most plugins bbpress would work fairly well “out of the box” and adding a template and maybe a few additional plugins to improve functionality would not be a big deal.

However I’ve just been quoted $2500 by a developer to do the above, to say my jaw hit the floor would be an understatement! Is bbpress THAT hard to implement that I need to pay mega bucks to get something simple up and running with it?? 🙁

PS the only reason I considered paying someone was to get it done in a few days rather than a few weeks as I have my main work to be getting on with as well… Otherwise I’d sit down and work through it step by step usually!

It’s unfortunate that the edit capability for previous replies is timed.

Adding:

• GD Power Search for bbPress

demo forum index page

[shirleyhoutman]

On my website the [bbp-forum-index] page looks different compared to the demopage and there is nowhere to change this.

https://kennis.energyparty.nl/forums/ here is what it looks like and this )https://preview.themeforest.net/item/helpguru-a-selfservice-knowledge-base-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/8465592?_ga=2.241461826.1982604040.1586206741-1853262959.1578605226) is what i want it to be. How can I change this layout.
Should I change the forums and categories or is it something else.

I have put an issue here:

It looks like this is a known bug, and a patch might be implemented in the future (see “Attachments”):

Editing bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php as shown there has fixed the issue for me.

I’ve just released version 4.4.3 of my style pack plugin, which has a new tab called ‘bug fixes’ where I have added @mjonesnerdery ‘s very useful correction

bbp style pack

• GD bbPress Tools
• Weaver for bbPress

bbp style pack

there’s a list of useful bbpress plugins in there

once activated go to

[Jay Holtslander]

I’m a very experienced WordPress user/developer but a newb with bbpress.

Wondering if anyone here has a WordPress.org “Favourites” list or a list in general they can share of “Must haves” for bbpress installs in 2020.

Strong preference for free solutions.

For myself, the first project I want to build is for a non-profit.

Would like to build it where forum access is based off an active IRL membership that can be managed in WP.
Need a way to integrate with a RICH editor and support multiple ways of getting outside images into posts. eg: Google Photos, Flickr, Imgur, Instagram etc. (Do not want to host user images)
Will probably upgrade at a later date to integrate buddypress as well.

Apparently this is a known bug for at least three months:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3327

[tomanpetr]

Hello, I need to be able to approve topics and responses automatically for the Participant role. I tried to look for plugins, but they are all years without updates. I’ve also tried wordpress plugins for roles and even though they seem to have capabilities set up well (publish_topics, edit_topics, publish_replies, edit_replies). So it always requires approval when I publish. When I add a topic as an unsigned user it works fine. Is there a simple snippet that can do that?

I read through the posts here, but they didn’t help me.

Thank you.

Hi,

I tried finding a solution to this problem on your forum for sometime now with no avail.

1)Whenever I click the nested reply button in a forum topic, the page reloads/refreshes. Also, the reply which gets posted is not always a nested a nested reply.

2) Even while trying to reply to the comment of a particular user, the reply box comes at the end of the thread/page/topic. It’d be good to have the reply box come under the response to which I am trying to post a nested reply to.

I hope you guys understand my question. Desperately looking for answers. Btw, I am noob in coding so conceptwise I dunno anything.

I am using WordPress Version 5.3.2
BBpress plugin version 2.6.4
Theme Used: Fabulist BY Shark Themes, version 2.0.1

[moderator – split as not quite the same question]

If I understand you then…

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress login, so you would need something that doesn’t expire wordpress

[Robin W]

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

[Robin W]

WordPress has thousands of themes, and hundreds of thousands of plugins. Everyone tries to make it as compatible as possible, but occasionally they clash.

I can only suggest you contact the theme’s author to see of they can help resolve
