Wordpress v. 5.2.1; bbpress v. 2.5.14

I would like to change my “bbpress forum” to another name so that it does not show up as “bbpress Forum” or Just “Forum” in my users profiles or elsewhere. I have seen several dated suggestions of how to do this but none have worked.

I did not find any help here using the search option. So if this is a repeat question, Please accept my apologies and kindly direct me to the codex or other potentially successful answer.

Thank you.

WordPress 5.2.1
bbPress Version 2.5.14
site https://titotim.com
Problem persists in Themes twenty seventeen, boss, and donovan.

Just set up bbPress yesterday and having a few issues. (should I make a different topic for each?)

When I make a post, it does not show up on the forum until I log out and log back in. I have tried it with my admin account, test account, chrome, firefox, and explorer. I changed themes (twenty seventeen, boss, and donovan) and the problem is the same.

Also, I just noticed the post list is not updating. It will say, for example, last post 34 seconds ago… refresh, go to the blog and back to the forum – still 34 seconds ago. Log out, log in now it says 8 minutes ago. And the newer post are there. Nothing changes without logging out.

Is there a weird cache issue? I have no idea what I am talking about…

Hi,
I’ve been reading other posts, and replies, but nothing seems to be working for me.
It seems like it’s an ongoing issue, so posting a new topic is my last resort.

My website is:
http://www.mywebsite.com.au

I have created a forum page within wordpress called “chat”:
http://www.mywebsite.com.au/chat

I have added the bbpress shortcode to display the bbpress forums here. That works fine.

However when I click on anything that takes me 1 level deeper into the forums, the URL changes.
For example… If I click on a sub-forum (using this website it would be like clicking on “Development & Updates” over on the left menu)… the Url changes to:
http://www.mywebsite.com.au/forum/sub-forum-name/

I want the …au/forum… to be be …au/chat/… so it remains consistent with the page I created in wordpress and where i added the shortcode. Otherwise what’s the point?? So is the shortcode just showing the forums, but not actually the forums? I want the ACTUAL forums to be placed using this shortcode – that’s what I thought it would do.

That’s my main gripe. Please tell me there’s a workaround so the URL stays the same?

In addition to that… when you click on a created post within a forum (like when you clicked to open my post), the URL is:
http://www.mywebsite.com.au/topic/created-post-name/

That doesn’t seem to be consistent either?
I would think it should be:
http://www.mywebsite.com.au/chat/sub-forum/created-post-name

I hope I’m missing something and this can be resolved. Happy to listen to any advice. Thanks in advance.

bbPress version 2.5.14
WordPress version 5.2.1
Site: https://outdoorwomensalliance.com
Theme (in case it matters): Avada 5.9.1

Our forums are currently only open to view for certain membership levels. However, those members can’t see anything other than the sticky posts. There are no forums or topics anymore. When they click on “Forums” from their account, they come to a page with the sticky post from each forum listed and that’s it.

(@pdidee asked about this on a slack channel, thought I would leave my solution here)

HTTP Post is basically the same thing as a form submission. Consider this example from the infusionsoft link you sent:

That is basically like having a form that is submitted to your website at the URL you choose, with the field names (left) and values (right).

Here is an example of what you should send from Infusionsoft:

contactId = ~Contact.Id~
access_key = [your access key]
bbp_action = set_role
bbp_role = cadet

When your website gets that data, nothing happens. BBPress and WordPress do not know what to do with that data you came up with. You have to make that data do something.

Here is an example that will handle that URL. It is not tested:

https://gist.github.com/RadGH/38473c6ebcda730cedadd49de1ad0348

You need to change the value of “$internal_access_key” to match your access key.

You will probably also need to change the meta key used in the WP_User_Query which I set as “infusionsoft_contact_id”. I’m guessing infusionsoft does store that data on your users, but may be under a different key. Check the infusionsoft plugin documentation and hopefully you can find it there.

Hi there,

I’m running into an issue with Forums and can’t seem to work it out.

We have two private site – Production & Staging (WordPress 5.2.1 and bbpress 2.5.14).

On staging, participants are able to view forums, create topics and respond to topics. On production, participants get the following errors:

Hidden Forums: This group does not currently have a forum. – even though the group does have a forum
Public Forums: You cannot create new topics. and You cannot reply to this topic.

Topics are not appearing in topics either.

Is anyone else experiencing this or know what is causing the issue?

Thanks,
Charlene

OK, and are you in a position to take those testing steps a little further and deactivate everything except bbPress (and also switch to a default theme)?

If you can do that, and things work, we then know the problem lies in one of your other plugins or with your theme and by reactivating them and testing you can probably figure out which one is the problem.

You could even do this ‘in reverse’ if you want to avoid disruption on your live site. This service has a funny name, but poopy.life is really useful for this sort of thing. Start with a brand new WordPress install (it’s free, though it will only stay alive for 24hrs) and add bbPress but nothing else. Confirm it works as expected, and then start adding everything else that you have on your live site: see if you can figure out what exactly introduces the problem.

I’m using the latest version of bbpress and wordpress. theme

[tapiohuuhaa]

Because there seems not a complete list, is there for forum list page something like bbp_is_single_topic()

I would like to add some conditional code for https://www.sanaristikkofoorumi.net/wordpress/forums/ .
i quessed that it might be “bbp_is_forum_list()”

[Barry]

Just to note, is_user_logged_in() ships as part of WordPress itself, there’s generally no need to redefine it from your own code (unless you are perhaps reimplementing the login system).

[abhipatodi]

You should copy the website link in the link option of WordPress.

I’m very new to both WordPress and bbPress but is there a way to make a script (preferably in PHP) to check if a user is logged into bbPress and then get the user information, like User Name and ID? And is the reverse also possible? As in, search and get User Name by the ID number.

I’m using bbPress 2.5.14 on WordPress 5.2

Hi,

I’m looking for a plugin to show live mini popup (toast) notifications when a new topic is created in BBPress, something like what SalesPop (https://wordpress.org/plugins/sales-pop/) for Wocommerce has to offer.

Any recommendations?

Running the latest version of WordPress and BBPress, (have Buddypress loaded, but I deactivated it, just so I can focus on learning BBPress right now). Been rolling it around in my head what is the best way to create a Business Directory on my site. Thought maybe I could do this through BBPress somehow, but after spending hours last night going down rabbit holes on the forum, (they were great knowledge, just too much time involved), I figured just ask 😳🙈😅🤪. I am trying to come as close as I can to mimicking https://www.ncfarmfresh.com/farms.asp . I do not have enough experience, (YET), to know what they are using to do this. I like https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/business-directory/ , but, I have great concern getting locked into expensive updates. I read a seven year old post in this forum, suggesting to someone else asking the same question, that they use custom Post Categories. I thought long and hard on that, but I don’t see where it would work like I am needing. Any solid suggestions?

[Barry]

Hmm, it’s possible there is some sort of conflict happening.

It occasionally happens, for instance, that other plugins (or even your theme) generate additional admin menu entries at exactly the same position used by another plugin (in this case, bbPress). In such a case, one will ‘win’ and the other will not be visible. I don’t know that that is what is happening here, but it’s an example of the sort of conflict that is possible.

Do you have a staging or testing site where you can deactivate all other plugins (except for bbPress) and switch to a default theme—do the admin menu items show up then?

Alternatively, you could make use of the (humorously-named, but useful) poopy.life service to generate a brand new WordPress sandbox. It only stays alive for 24hrs, but that would possibly be enough time to see if you can install bbPress and use it successfully in a ‘clean’ environment. If you can, that would again indicate there is some kind of conflict on your live site.

You could even troubleshoot ‘in reverse’ via this sandbox site, by incrementally adding your theme and other plugins and checking to see if any introduce this particular problem.

I just installed bbpress, but the bbpress menu items are not visible in the wordpress admin dashboard. I tried deactivating all other plugins and even switching themes, but the menu items remain invisible.

When I (or someone else on my site) posts links to new articles, etc, is there a way to have the contents of that link automatically displayed instead of the link itself being displayed? For example, on my site there’s this post: “http://notdos.com/forums/topic/bernie-rally-next-saturday-5-25-19-in-montpelier”. Clicking on that post displays this link: “https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2019/05/13/bernie-sanders-vermonts-presidential-hopeful-coming-montpelier-2020-presidential-campaign/1188019001/” I would like to see the contents of that link displayed in the post instead of seeing the link itself.

Oh yeah, my site is WordPress 5.2

Thanks

bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

Good luck.

[brahman111]

Hey Steve!

I don’t find that plugin anywhere, would you mind to send me the link?

Because even when I check from my wordpress doesn’t show up.

Thank you!

[steve01351]

I’m having exactly the same problem. I’d LOVE a solution. *I* as the admin can make a post – submit it – then click on the EDIT button underneath the post and the visual editor comes up, but that’s not a solution for everyone else. They just get frustrated and leave. (oh, this is http://notdos.com , WordPress version 5.2)

Thanks

Steve
