I have moved this to here:

[Robin W]

The best I can suggest is

GD bbPress Attachments

If you want better than this, then contact the developer https://www.dev4press.com/ Milan does bespoke development as well

[Robin W]

ok it is showing what I would expect.

topics are shown only when you go into each forum which is standard bbpress behavior.

If you would like all the forums listed with titles, then create a WordPress page for your firums and put a list of forums in it as shortcode

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

so for instance out this on a page

[bbp-single-forum id=32]
[bbp-single-forum id=33]
[bbp-single-forum id=34]

.

Hi

In the past, I had the same question, but I didn’t try to find a solution yet.
I’ll try to continue this thread.

It’s about the page title for the opening page or index page of the forum, shown in the browser’s title bar. For the topic starter, that title starts with:
Archiwum Fora
It’s Polish for “archive forums”.

For my site, it’s in Dutch:
Archief forums
It’s Dutch for “archive forums”.

It’s the title of the index page of the forum shown by the browser.
For forums themselves, the browser shows the title of the forum as text in the browser’s title bar. So that’s going well.

As the forum opening page or index page is live and active, it’s expected to not to see “archive” as title in the browser.

On my setup, I tried the suggestion of mclegend.
Administration -> You mean the WordPress Back-End with all the configuration settings?
For ‘Configuration’, I don’t see ‘Server Settings’, only ‘Settings’ and indeed ‘General’, which points to basic WordPress options / item “Forum Title” is not there.
There is however a ‘Settings’ with ‘Forums’, and I see forum-related options. eg. Forum root and below the title ‘Single Forum Slugs’, there is ‘forum’, which could be a title, but not labeled that way.
The setting or word ‘archive’ or Dutch translated variant is on those pages not mentioned.
I suppose the Dutch (or for topic starter, Polish version) is by using translation file(s) and localized version of the WordPress.
But it’s not about the translation, it’s about the original ‘archive’ in the title.

So, question remains:
How to get rid of the word ‘archive’ in the browser’s title bar for the opening page or index page of the forum, and/or where can we set a title manually?

Current setup: PHP 7.3.12 / WordPress 5.3.2 / bbPress 2.5.14 and seen on earlier versions of 2.5.x and on the later 2.6.x versions while testing.

The best solution is to clone this widget and then amend.

so put this in your functions.php

It creates a duplicate login widget, but you’ll find it in dashboard>appearance>widgets called
(mat) login Widget. You can then add your code to this version

function register_mat_login_widget() {
    register_widget("MAT_Login_Widget");

}

add_action('widgets_init', 'register_mat_login_widget');

class MAT_Login_Widget extends WP_Widget {

	/**
	 * MAT Login Widget amended
	 *
	 */
	public function __construct() {
		$widget_ops = apply_filters( 'mat_login_widget_options', array(
			'classname'                   => 'mat_widget_login',
			'description'                 => esc_html__( 'A simple login form with optional links to sign-up and lost password pages.', 'bbpress' ),
			'customize_selective_refresh' => true
		) );

		parent::__construct( false, esc_html__( '(mat) Login Widget', 'bbpress' ), $widget_ops );
	}

	/**
	 * Register the widget
	 *
	 *
	 */
	public static function register_widget() {
		register_widget( 'MAT_Login_Widget' );

untested, but try this

add_filter ('bbp_get_user_profile_link' , 'rew_get_user_name', 10 , 2) ;

function rew_get_user_name ($user_link, $user_id ) {
	// Validate user id
		$user_id = bbp_get_user_id( $user_id );
		if ( empty( $user_id ) ) {
			return false;
		}

		$user      = get_userdata( $user_id );
		$user_link = esc_html( $user->display_name ) ;

		// Filter & return
		return apply_filters( 'rew_get_user_name', $user_link, $user_id );
}

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

@matthias70 I have something for that in my https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/ plugin to remove the ‘Oh Bother’, but I should check how it works with 2.6

[Chuckie]

No. That is now targeted for 2.6.5.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @philippowell, user signups are following WordPress user subscriptions.
1) You could remove ‘Anyone can register’ in /wp-admin/options-general.php, but that is probably not what you want to do
2) Check for WordPress plugins that will add protection to people signing up (like captcha)

Hi,
Is there a way for bbPress notifications that appear in BuddyPress (eg: “You have a new reply on the topic you started”) to automatically be dismissed when clicked, like other notifications do?

Currently they can only be dismissed by manually marking them as read on the user profile page.

Thank you,
Sam

Hello,
I am seeking help importing my Mingle forums…I can’t seem to find the answers on the bbpress support boards.

Here are the specifics of my setup:
Wordpress 5.3.2
Pandora Theme 1.3.2
bbpress 2.6.3
naranonchat.com

Originally, I struggled to figure out what information needed to be put into the import fields as I am definitely not well versed in the world of website building. I was able to find my wp-configure.php to get the information. My table prefix was not wp_ it was smi_ which took me FOREVER to figure out.

When I finally got the import monitor to run, it got stuck at step 6 multiple times and despite clicking the option to erase previous attempts, it just created multiple duplicate forums. So, I did the hard reset that was suggested on one of the message boards by Stephen Edgar. When I started over, only one version of the forums was created. I was super excited!

Now, when it moves on to step 7 it first tells me “Converting topics (0 through 50 of 50) 100%,” then it just continuously runs stating over and over “Converting topics (50 through 50 of 50) 100%.” This creates copy after copy after copy of the same exact posts and never stops. I have over 500+ topics, not 50. How can I stop step 7 from multiple duplications of the same 50 posts, get all 500+ topics that should come over and move on to step 8?

Please help, I am super frustrated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

We’ve got an issue after upgrading bbPress to 2.6.x:

The “latest reply” column on the forum index page isn’t showing the real latest reply. Instead, we see the latest reply as it was just before the upgrade to 2.6.x.
None of the replies after the update are displayed.
This happens only at the forum index, not on the sub forum index pages; the sub forum index page shows the right latest reply.

The options to repair/recalculate didn’t correct the information in the “latest reply” column.

We’ve seen this on 2.6.1 and 2.6.3.
We did a downgrade to 2.5.14 twice, once after 2.6.1 and once after 2.6.3, we did every time the repair/recalculate, and we’ve got the column working good again with the right and expected “latest reply”.

URL: http://www.lotgenotenseksueelgeweld.nl
Note: It’s in Dutch localized.

bbPress version now: 2.5.14
We have the forum index built by using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] .
For the sub forums, we use the corresponding shortcode with the ID of the sub forum.
WordPress version 5.3.2.
PHP version 7.3.12.

Anyone else having this situation? How did you get it solved?
Or could this be a bug in the bbPress?

[natsu12345]

i use the BBforums so i dont have a wordpress page ID so i dont know what i could put there.

[pyoil]

Hi

The user profile pages of my bbPress forums are getting indexed in google.

Example pages
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/topics
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/engagement
https://domainname.com/users/displayname/replies

So I want to add <META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW” /> to all the above pages

I think I need to insert the META into wordpress > wp-content > plugins > bbpress > templates > default > bbpress > user-profile.php

But I don’t want to edit the plugin file and lose the change during plugin update.

Is there a PHP code I can use to make the insertion to the user-profile.php?

Thanks in advance for the help

Where I have had problems with WordPress sending emails (mainly contact form 7), I have switched to SMTP using

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms

and then setting ‘other smtp’ using your mail provider’s details.

This seems much more robust to sending emails, and preventing mail servers seeing this as spam

Working with WordPress Live support, we have been unable to solve the problem of subscribers to my forum receiving notifications when a new topic is posted (We haven’t yet moved on to testing for those who subscribe to a topic getting notification of any new posts under that topic).
WordPress Live received guidance from you that we should try a different theme (Twenty Twelve) and also try disabling all plugins except for bbPress and trying that. That did not work either.
So, we’re coming back to you for further guidance. Can you provide? Will I receive notification by email when there is a response to this request or do I need to keep checking the forum. My email is eric.brown@cbia.com.
Also, I’m working on WordPress version 5.3.2 and bbPress version 2.6.3
Thank you very much!

I have run all the tools and checked the cache.
At one point it appeared that the forum was reporting freshness based on the latest topic, not the latest reply.
But it is so all over the place, I am not sure that is the case anymore.

Here is a screen shot that shows a typical error.

Here is a link to the above forum:

https://www.thewargameswebsite.com/forums/forum/general-discussion-3/game-design/

The thing that baffles me, is that the freshness URL is correct.
So why is the bbpress forum itself not reflecting this?

https://www.thewargameswebsite.com/forums/view/topics-freshness/

Here is the site, please do have a look around in the various forums and you will see the freshness is a mess.

If anyone can help I will be very appreciative.

Back again. I swep whole testing site, delete database and reinstall everything including wordpress and forum loos OK now.
But on my production site which is running on Divi the problem still exist. So it will be really something on Divi´s end…

[nickds]

Hi Robin, fully understand. Thanks for your reply.
The issue appears on default wordpress theme and the same appears on Divi theme. I already discuss with the support from Divi and they´v replied, that it has something to do with plugin itself.
