I would suggest you reverse the order for answers, as pagination will not solve it.

This may work

bbPress – Sort topic replies

[Robin W]

This plugin seems to do that and claims bbpress support

I have not tried it, so please come back and let us know if it works

Highlight Search Terms

[Robin W]

Private groups

will get you most of the way there. You could then link your purchases to joining a group, but you’ll need a hook from whatever payment/membership plugin you are using

I checked the database posts table via phpmyadmin and confirmed that replies posts did not come over to bbpress. Is there a way I can fix this manually by running some manual sql code?

I’m using latest wordpress just downloaded today, and latest version of bbpress (bbPress 2.5.14).
During the conversion I only get the following error which I don’t think tied to the replies posts not coming over.

Repair any missing information: Continue

WordPress database error: [Table ‘*.*_core_tags’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(core_tags.tag_meta_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS tag_meta_id,convert(core_tags.tag_text USING “utf8mb4”) AS tag_text FROM *_core_tags AS core_tags LIMIT 0, 100

No tags to convert

No super stickies to stick

Please forgive me my ignorance – don’t worry we were all there when we started !!

bbpress uses the wordpress database and pages so is contained entirely within wordpress.

at it’s simplest, just put a ‘custom link’ menu entry of url ‘/fourms/’ and navigation label of ‘forums’ into your menu.

Alternately create a page with a title of say ‘forums’ and put [bbp-forum-index] in the content.

Hi Robin,

Many thanks for that!

One and last question: does bbPress creates all forum files by itself (or uses existing WordPress pages within website) or will it need anything ‘external’ (such as completely external forum hosted by someone else). Please forgive me my ignorance as I’m a bit ‘old date’ from past times when website was a website only and forums were completely separated story 🙂

TIA,
Kris

bbpress is just a plugin that sits within wordpress, so you would just install it and typically have a menu entry to

yoursite.com/forums

see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

yes, in effect create the subdomain you say, and install wordpress and bbpress.

Then you could just have a home page with the code [bbp-forum-index] in it and that is all that site would contain

[Robin W]

this is a theme conflict issue, and you need to get your theme to recognise bbpress.

Not bbpress’s fault and not your theme’s fault, both just use wordpress

I use

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

to notify me of new topics/replies

[TxFig]

I am part of a group of people in the beginning stages of forming a new non-profit organization.

I am about to create a website for the group (wordpress) as well as a forum, but I don’t want all of the people who have access to the forum to also have access to the website itself. My preference for the 2 sites is

Main website: https://siteurl.org/ (and https://www.siteurl.org/)
Forum: https://forum.siteurl.org/

I have full access to the cPanel for the hosting location. Do I need to just create a seperate folder in the home directory called “forum” and do a separate install of WordPress there (assuming of course that the main website will be installed in the .public_html directory)?

[phaniv]

I have created a forums page using bbpress, and linked it to my main header menu. Below is the page

https://honingds.com/activity/

I am not sure why the forum page is starting at almost middle of this page. What should I do to make it appear just below the header. I am noob at wordpress and bbpress so please bear with me. My theme is Impreza wordpress theme.

editing users is a wordpress rather than bbpress function

It may well be possible, but the easier way would be to use a wordpress role to do this.

This link will give you code to make the ‘editor’ role able to do user stuff, and you may want to hide admins as per their suggestions

Let Editor Manage Users in WordPress

so you would just set your moderators to be editor as well as moderator

[a7xfanben]

I will need to spend long periods of time away from my site and bbpress forum, and want the Moderators to have the ability to delete users that are clearly just there to spam. I want them to have more than blocking capability and the ability to delete posts and topics.

I have not found much on this topic through searching. I am willing to implement some specific code. If there is something I can edit with Buddypress to allow this, please let me know. However, I don’t want to make the moderators Keymasters – I only want them to have authority over the forums and who uses them.

I would rather use code than a plugin. Not sure if it is simple as adding a line to the bbpress moderator capabilities that allows them to essentially ban Buddypress users.

Any news on 2.6 it’s on RC 7 now.

It’s been on RC 7 since December of last year. You can check the dev tracker for 2.6 here (still being worked on) –

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/report/5?sort=modified&asc=0&page=1

It was listed at 99%, but now back to 98% as a result of some bugs.

[frankimc]

Ok never mind it was the wordpress address url and site address url that was making noip not work so i fixed it so it should work but the error is still there when i try to make a topic or reply.

[frankimc]

Ok so my wordpress address URL is http://host.ip/wordpress
My site address URL is /wordpress
And I’m using noip
Now I haven’t tried the noip route and I think there might be a problem using noip as the site takes forever to load. But then I tried host-IP the loading was way faster then noip. (by the way my computer is on the same network as the device that’s hosting the website)

[frankimc]

Can someone please help. I have tried almost everything When ever I try to make a new topic I get the ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that? Same thing for replying. I can create forums and topics and replies manually but I can’t do it through the website. The issue still happens with the Twenty’s themes. and I also tried removing all other plugins. I am local hosting wordpress 5.2.3 using bbpress 2.5.14 and my website is craftnations.ddns.net (If you want to see for yourself). PLEASE HELP ME!!!

bbp profile information

[Anonymous User 17557030]

Hi there,

I’m a fresh out of water BBPress user and I have never coded in my life 🙂

We have just set up a BBPress forum on our WordPress website and we are looking into changing what is displayed in the profile section. At the moment it’s Forum Role, Topics Started and Replies Created.
I would like to create custom fields like Company, Job Title, Area, Email, Phone Number and Website to be displayed there.

First of all, I would need to add these sections in Profile Edit tab. Secondly, find a way to display them on the Profile page.

I have to mention, I have found a way to remove Forum Role, Topics Started and Replies Created by editing plugin file bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

Also, I have just noticed that when you visit somebody’s profile page, his name is not displayed there, which would be something i would like to be displayed as well 🙂

Have anyone managed to do things mentioned above, and would be willing to share with the class? 🙂

Many thanks,
Dominik

[Robin W]

yes private groups

Private groups

and enable topic permissions

[Robin W]

you could put the files in your theme directory, but unless you change them, there will be no difference on what you have now – that will require you to know and edit css files

This might be a better solution

WORDPRESS VERSION [Last checked on September 18, 2019 at 9:48 am. Check Again

BBPRESS VERSION: 2.5.14

home

I am using the bbpress [forum] plugin.
I do not want to use it in its default state. I want to have it maintain my site’s design.
According to what I have read [HERE; https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/ ]

to do so requires me to copy both the bbpress and the css directories
from the default folder and paste it or upload
it into the ‘theme’ directory/ folder.

Thing is I am not quite sure if I ought to paste them [ bbpress & css directories] into the wp-config.php folder
& if so where [in the wp-config.php folder] ? Is it Before or after the present info I see there now?
