Hi Andreas,
I use bbress voting plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-voting/
You can see it in action at wateratairports.com
I have it so it will order according to the vote as well.

@cassel – I’m continuing to dig into your sub forums – do you know what php version you are on ?
EDIT : If you are running style pack, you can see this in
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>plugin information
Otherwise (for others ) if you don’t know how to find out, can you install this
Display PHP Version
and you can see from the dashboard – you can disable and delete the plugin once you have done so
Hi,
I know how to FTP a file and I using a child theme in my wordpress.
Could you teach me how to remove it?
The ALT + SHIFT + M hotkey does not work inside the editor of bbPress (even though I have the media plugin enabled and the functional button on the toolbar.
I raised this both on TinyMCE GitHUB:
https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/issues/5223
And WordPress:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-media-hotkey/#post-12174886
TinyMCE support said:
TinyMCE doesn’t provide any shortcuts for the image, nor media plugin by default so this is likely an issue with wordpress or wordpress plugin you’re using. Since there is nothing we can do to fix the issue, I’m going to close this and suggest you log an issue with wordpress or wordpress plugin directly.
WordPress support said:
AFAIK that hot key is unique to the post edit screen only when using the classic editor. It’s not the editor itself that it’s tied to, but the edit screen for posts. If the block editor had a media button it would probably still work there. However, the bbPress forum post screen is not the same as a WP post edit screen. You would need some JavaScript code that listens for the specific keyboard event and when it occurs, launch the media modal.
Therefore, it sounds to me that bbPress needs some tweak to cater for the advertised hotkey for inserting images. Can this be considered please? All other hot keys are functional.
Thank you.
Would it be possible to create share functionality for each replies like
https://www.sanaristikkofoorumi.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019-11-24-21.59.59-keskustelu.suomi24.fi-23ec2cec98bd.png
(Jaa = share).
I would try it myself and give some code to add, if I would get some advice how to do it.
I created a new topic today:
https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/support-forums/topic/is-it-possibly-to-modify-1st-2nd-3rd-translations-on-the-new-s-89-template/
It is a private forum post. I used TinyMCE editor and it has:
– Paragraphs
– Table
– Background colour
– Code snippets
– Heading 3
I hit “Submit” and the topic looks good.
I click “EDIT” and alot of all the underlaying HTML is stripped.
So I hit BACK in my browser. I set the default editor as TEXT and then I clicked EDIT and this time the whole text showed in the TEXT editor.
Why did the TinyMCE editor strip the content?
I am using:
– WordPress 5.3 (it uses TinyMCE 4.9.6 internally)
– bbp Style Pack
– TinyMCE ADvanced
– Advanced TinyMCE Configuration
I seem to recall I used to have the same problem in general in Wordress when editing posts that had code in them would show funny. I really don’t know enough about the mechanics of the whole system to know where to look or who to direct the issue towards.
If anyone can replicate this problem or can direct me to a resolution I would be grateful. Thank you.

As indicated, the best option would indeed be to restart a correct import into a database with the proper characterset. If this is not an option then indeed there are plugins that replace in the DB. Some examples: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/search+replace/
One main remark: do this in a test environment first and always make a backup of everything before launching it
I still have a bug with the inserting of videos. If I am creating the topic / reply as an ADMIn then the code is correct:
<video controls="controls" width="300" height="150">
<source src="https://www.publictalksoftware.co.uk/videos/forum/pts-test-video.mp4" type="video/mp4" /></video>
When you hit SUBMIT the video can be played etc.
But when you are NON-ADMIN and hit SUBMIT the outer chevrons of the inner SOURCE tag get escaped. I don’t know where this issue lies:
– WordPress 5.3?
– TinyMCE Insert Media Plugin 4.9.6 ?
– bbPress 2.6.2?
The number of posts or users isn’t a problem. We have 11million users and millions of posts across multiple WordPress installations sharing the same user base. Like any web based application, the software will scale up to whatever hardware it’s running on, or choke on whatever it’s missing.
Posting links to images and videos is very easy, but if you want users to be able to upload them, you’ll need some way to elegantly allow for that. WordPress can handle it, but you’ll likely want to customize this experience.
Concurrent users and other metrics will all come down to server hardware, configuration, and ongoing maintenance. bbPress doesn’t really care how many users there are or how many page views happen.
bbPress does not come with any internal reporting. It adds some statistics to the WordPress Dashboard, and that’s it. Intentionally simple.
(There is a lot of data available in the database, and I’ve no doubt that really awesome reporting and charts and conclusions could be drawn from them, but there is nothing built-in to expose it.)
bbPress does include a very robust importer and forum-conversion tool, that we’ve successfully used for years to help hundreds of thousands of sites migrate millions of posts. Some folks have contributed their converters back up into bbPress, but most of them were made by community members who did the work to match all the data points together.
We’ve used the built-in converter here ourselves to go from bbPress1 to bbPress2; the same one that’s included with bbPress itself.
Switching forum platforms is risky. It’s a lot of work. It’s likely that some community members won’t like the new software. It never goes 100% without some kind of hitch. But… we’ve done an immense amount of work over 15 years to try and make bbPress the kind of software that makes that transition as easy and painless as it can possibly be.
I hope you’ll give it a try. We’ll be here if you have more questions. 🤝
That’s a thought…
I gave up on this plugin a few years ago — it didn’t seem to do anything for me. Still doesn’t, unfortunately. There’s no difference with or without Genesis Extend.
Deactivating all of my other plugins doesn’t seem to help, either.
I’ve also tried copying css/bbpress.css to other themes, including the Genesis Sample and WordPress 2020. Both of these themes require bbpress.min.css, at least on my development server.
I’m using WordPress 5.3, bbPress 2.6.2.
Hi there!
I’m trying to get a bbpress forum set up on my site, and while we’ve got the majority of it set up the way we’d like, there’s an issue when someone tries to access the forum via mobile/smartphone.
The reply box seems to overflow over the edge of the screen, such as in this picture:
I tried to adjust the width of the bbpress-topic-form using the Custom CSS on my theme, but while this seems to work for narrow browser windows on desktop, the mobile view remains the same as it does in the picture above.
For reference, this was the code I was trying:
@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
#new-topic-0.bbp-topic-form{
width: 50%;
}
}
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what might be going on here? I’m running the Gridmag theme (not pro) at the minute, could that be causing a conflict?
Hi,
If you go on https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/bbpress+captcha/ it seems lots of them offer bbPress compatibility.
Hey there, sorry that you’re having this trouble.
Can you include a link to your forums so we can check them out?
Topic pagination can sometimes be thrown off by non-public replies, especially for moderators that have the ability to see them.
Pagination is also somewhat weird with hierarchical/threaded replies. That’s been a known issue since the beginning. It’s based on how WordPress does it with Comments, but has some extra behaviors due to the front-end nature of topic moderation.
Sorry again. We will figure it out!
ok, both topics and replies are custom post types, so the date of both is in the posts table, so no meta query needed.
so
‘post_type’ => array( ‘topic’, ‘reply ) if you want both
and look at
WP_Query
scroll down to date parameters to work out how to do the date
I can comment on this one. I do have the “attach media” GD plugin but not tested it. We don’t use WordPress add media here. We use the tinymce insert image and put a link it.
As previously mentioned yesterday, I can’t insert videos anymore if not admin because of the escaping of the HTML in the source tag which is crippling.
check you wordpress discussion settings and how many links it will trigger a reply to go pending.
Check your pending posts / replies.
this is because 2.6 has changed some wording and context, and the new translations have not been made yet
to fix the above either use this
add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3 );
add_filter( 'ngettext', 'rew_bbpress_translate' , 20 , 3 );
function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
$words = array(
'%s day' => '%s jour',
'%s days' => '%s jours',
'Last Post' => 'Dernier message',
);
$translated = str_replace( array_keys($words), $words, $translated );
}
return $translated;
}
Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use
Code Snippets
or use the translations tab in my style pack plugin
bbp style pack
hmm – that is interesting – this seems to refer to a plugin
bbPress Threaded Replies
which has not been supported for a number of years.
It is likely that 2.6.1 has revised a function which threaded replies uses, and therefor is no longer working.
Hi, I have two main topics and they have 4 and 3 subtopics respectively. For some reason, only the main topics on my forum page https://www.apis.de/forum/ are showing. I believe this changed with a recent update to either WordPress or BBpress. How do I display the sub-topics of each of the main 2 forum topics as well plz?
Hello, we’re using WordPress version Version 5.3, BuddyPress version 5.0.0, bbPress version 2.6.1 and our website is https://www.lightstalking.us. The theme we’re using is called Performag (Version: 1.409).
Two days ago we suddenly started to have this issue regarding posting images in forum threads – our forum participants can’t post images. They can upload them and hit the send button, but the images simply won’t show up in the thread.
The issue is not due to plugin incompatibility because it’s still there even when I disable all the plugins we have.
Let me know if there’s anything we can do to solve this.
Best,
Jasenka
I’ve perhaps uncovered a backwards compatibility issue with third party plugins that were using the now deprecated blacklist function.
In addition, everyone having issues here should remember that bbPress inherits many of the WordPress Discussion (Comments) settings. Moderation words, number of links, allowed tags, and a few others. If topics and replies are getting caught in moderation, comments of the same content would be also.
That said, the default behavior is NOT to land every single post in Moderation. If that is what is happening, something is broken.
Awesome indeed. I did not put two and two together. But then I noticed what it said on the screen:
Customise your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.
Doh!
