In your notes above it states:

“Posts with 3 or more links will be manually approved by our forum moderators.”

In my WordPress site my settings are also to a max of 2.

I created a topic with 3 links but the post did not go to moderation. Is this because I am an admin and the moderation does not apply?

This code (untested) should subscribe all current users to forum ID 3

$list = get_users();
if (empty (get_option ('rew_done')) {
	foreach ($list as $user) {
		$user_id = $user=>ID ;
		$forum_id = 3 ;
		bbp_add_user_forum_subscription( $user_id, $forum_id ) ;
	}
	update_option ('rew_done' , 'done' ) ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use
https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/ and load a page, then remove it

[Chuckie]

Yeah, that is understandable.

In bbp style pack it lists a few other plugins. I wonder if we could indicate any that won’t work with the latest bbp build.

Also, if it is not maintained I guess there is no where to ask for help.

I understand people getting overwhelmed.

But I tend not to install plugins that say they are not supported.

Was thinking of:

bbPress Advanced Statistics

bbp style pack

lets you add an ‘edit profile’ to the menu see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

and also has a shortcode that you can put into a text widget in the sidebar

[bsp-profile’ label=’Edit Profile’ edit=’y’]

see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes

I think this has what you need

bbPress Toolkit

[Robin W]

It is not being maintained, but I presume it still works?

Wordpress removes plugins that are not maintained, but most continue to work and are based on stable code.

or is this one now not working ?

[Robin W]

I’m not sure what bbP Manage Subscriptions did, so hard to say what will replace

try

bbPress Toolkit

that has some subscription management stuff

[brunov99]

Thanks for trying.

The important thing is to know how it works after we adapt. But it’s true that the WordPress team could take this into consideration which would allow for many creative alternatives. A bit like when you create a child theme without touching the original.

great – not an issue that WordPress seems to have considered – I did try and see if there was an easy way to bypass, but could not find one 🙂

I am using bbpress in conjunction with buddypress and I noticed that the forums have different avatars for users than their profile avatar. Is there a way to use the avatars from buddypress and not from bbpress?

I found this topic and its exactly what I’m referring too, but it was never marked as resolved and the answer was only for replies. The code snippet in this post works for me, but I need it to go further and apply to all avatars. I tried adding a filter to ‘bbp_get_current_user_avatar’ but I can’t get it to work.

Wordpress, buddypress, and bbpress are all up-to-date – I also have the Youzer plugin installed

Thanks in advance!

[Robin W]

hmmm… quite a puzzle

so you could try putting your customised file here

wp-content/languages/plugins/bbpress-fr_FR.mo

plugins load code from only two places, but no idea which loads first, but looks like that location loads last, so it might work. but again might be overwritten by WordPress updates

[fumbles007]

So in the forums page I have changed to a different sidebar to reflect options for the forums, works. However, when you click on an action forum topic, I.E. General, the sidebar reverts to the default one. I have no clue where to find where these pages are being made, nor I have no clue as to why these would not be considered child pages since they are being created off the forums page.

[Robin W]

the date format is usually the one set in WordPress, so would be common to your site

bashboard>settings>general

Hi All !!
I have upgraded phpBB 3.0.4 to 3.2.8 recently following steps on Upgrading from 3.0 to 3.2

When trying to import to bbpress 2.5.4 on a WP 5.2.3 I get this message:

Error en la base de datos de WordPress: [Unknown column 'forums.forum_topics' in 'field list']
SELECT convert(forums.forum_id USING "utf8mb4") AS forum_id,convert(forums.parent_id USING "utf8mb4") AS parent_id,convert(forums.forum_topics USING "utf8mb4") AS forum_topics,convert(forums.forum_posts USING "utf8mb4") AS forum_posts,convert(forums.forum_topics_real USING "utf8mb4") AS forum_topics_real,convert(forums.forum_name USING "utf8mb4") AS forum_name,convert(forums.forum_desc USING "utf8mb4") AS forum_desc,convert(forums.left_id USING "utf8mb4") AS left_id,convert(forums.forum_type USING "utf8mb4") AS forum_type,convert(forums.forum_status USING "utf8mb4") AS forum_status FROM phpbb_forums AS forums LIMIT 0, 100
No hay foros que convertir
No hay datos que limpiar

Effectively column forum_topics was on table forum in phpbb version 3.0.4 but it is not anymore on phpbb version 3.2.8.
Script to import from phpbb must have a bug or expect a different database structure for phpbb.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Is there an API that I can call when a user registers on our product website?

Users

If they are logged in to our product and click on SUPPORT/Forums, how do I go about having them automatically logged in?

mzybe

WordPress REST API – OAuth 1.0a Server

And my last question is if I can create new topics and replies to them with custom dates/times? For example, I want to create a new post with a date of a week ago, and then reply with a date from 6 days ago?

Just add/edit the topics and replies from the back end – there you can changed then publish date

[Robin W]

ok, the problem is that bbpress stores topic and reply authors as their WordPress ID, so unless the new sites WordPress ID’s match the old site’s then they won’t match.

are the old authors all on the new site ?

Rainmaker is a platform that is built on wordpress. It uses bbpress that is modified.

[Robin W]

my style pack plugin has an unread posts section

bbp style pack

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @sirlouen,

I did not really look for this, but any plugin that is showing ‘related posts’ and accept custom post types, might be able to do this.
I never tried it, but maybe https://wordpress.org/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/ ?

[brightenyourview]

I have a database in Rainmaker that has bbpress records I am developing a new wordpress website. I need to move the forums, topics and replies out of Rainmaker into the new wordpress mysql database. I tried the import/export function but there are over 500 authors and the records don’t match up. Does the Forum function under tools allow you to move from one bbpress to another. The only option I saw was bbpress1.

[Clivesmith]

I tried to do it inside wordpress but with no luck, which is why I went to the post and metapost tables in the database, if you do not have access I am not sure what you can do.
Sorry
Clive

OK, I think I have solved this by following this thread, except I had to do one thing the other way around…

1. Scrap User Role Editor and install the Members plugin by Justin Tadlock
2. Don’t put anything in your functions file
3. In WordPress under Users/Roles, clone the Participant user role and give it a name and slug (in my case I am using ‘bosun’) and save the new role.
4. Add this code to your functions file:

function vip_add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {

$bbp_roles['bosun'] = array(
'name' => 'Bosun',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);

return $bbp_roles;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'vip_add_custom_role', 1 );

… where bbp_roles and name is changed to your own name of the user role. This must be the same as the name/slug you inserted when cloning the participant user role.

5. Now any forum user assigned this user role will display the correct role, rather that ‘participant’ ‘subscriber’ or ‘spectator’.

The thing I had to do the other way around from the instructions in the other thread was to not put anything in the functions file and install the plugin first.

Phew. Took me two days to get there!

[Robin W]

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

Code Snippets

add_filter( 'bbp_get_replies_per_page', 'rew_replies');

function rew_replies () {
$replies = 5 ;
return $replies ;
}
