Hello. WP version 5.0 BB Press Version 2.5.14

I have a quick question. I have searched and found no answer thus far. It involves creating categories and forums under them categories and then topics showing up in categories that they don’t belong in.

Example:

Category Example 1:
Forum Example 1
Forum Example 3

Category Example 2:
Forum Example 2:

Now say I post a topic in Forum Example 2 under the category Example 2. When I go to read any topics in category example 1 forums 1 or 3, I see every single post made in category 2. Now that is kind of counter productive is it not? I do not see the need to create categories and forums if all posts are going to show up no matter where I look anyhow.

I have never met a forum system that does this. I helped develop a piece of software based on a forum with close to a million downloads before we called it quits so I am a shade on the forum familiar side but this boggles my mind. I am rather new to WordPress and BBPress so I am more than sure it is my missing a setting or something?

I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this. I am having a good time with it thus far. My sincerest apologies if this has been covered and beat to death already.

no.

The simplest way is to use this plugin

and put the code in there

Yes, there is.

I must not have edited the link when I updated and saved the rest of the page.

I’ve updated the page now. Here’s the link if you need it:

Sorry about that!

@robin-w There are 500 members in my wordpress website. I have created 4 groups, named A,B,C,D and i want to give permission to user 1 to group a & b and user 2 to b & d. Is there way to assign permission to that user without editing his/her profile?

Even i tried bulk action to assign permission to user but i can assign only one group permission to users. 🙁 🙁

I am using following link to assign permission to users.

OK guys, probably not really relevant now, but I experience the same issue and found this thread.

Here is solution I use:

add_filter( 'wp_mail', function( $args = array() ) {
	/**
	 * If WordPress wants to send an email to bbp_get_do_not_reply_address() we check
	 * if $search_header is set. If it is, we take its value (email address) and set
	 * it as "to" address. Also we unset the $search_header.
	 */
	$search_header = 'Bcc:';

	if ( bbp_get_do_not_reply_address() === $args['to'] && is_array( $args['headers'] ) ) {
		foreach ( $args['headers'] as $key => $header ) {
			if ( false !== stripos( $header, $search_header ) ) {
				$args['to'] = trim( str_replace( $search_header, '', $header ) );
				unset( $args['headers'][ $key ] );
				break;
			}
		}
	}

	return $args;
} );

Hello,

I got a bbPress forum on my website using this template : https://afthemes.com/products/elegant-magazine

My version :
WordPress : 4.9.8
BBPress : 2.5.14

My problem is when I use search function on my forum, its works not fine : the result is not display. And when I try with Twenty Seventeen theme for exemple, the search works.

My question is : What I must do ? Change my theme ? Or its possible to fix it with my current theme.

Thanks in advance bbPress family !

[Foliferous]

In the WordPress settings under “Discussion”. I guess this affects the Avatars on the forum as well.

[grignondev]

Hello, I tried to repair the forum one option by one, and its didnt fix the problem.

I forget to say my version :

WordPress : 4.9.8
BBPress : 2.5.14

I refresh my permalinks, not working too. Anyone got an idea ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi,

With WordPress 5 imminently upon is, I wanted to check whether there are any anticipated issues using bbPress in a WordPress 5 install that is running the Classic Editor?

I am assuming that as bbPress is used for the support forums on WP.org it will be ok?

Thanks in advance,

John

I am using bbPress and i have created 5 categories E.G general chat, random discussion, marketing, media, off topic. I want to set limitation for users. I want to restrict general chat and random discussion for user A and media, off topic for user B and random discussion, media for user c. Is there any plug-in (free or paid)?

Waiting for your kind reply.

[Robin W]

my style pack plugin allows you to do that

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Order

[dmalkin]

Having a really difficult time figuring out a way to output topic reply time stamps in a users local timezone. I have a forum with global users and this is a necessity.

WP version: 4.9.8
bbPress version: 2.5.14

Currently using this plugin: Localize Time (https://wordpress.org/plugins/localize-time/)

I am wrapping the bbp_get_reply_post_date() with the shortcode [localize_time]; however, I cannot alter the format of the output date from the shortcode.

I need an alternate solution.

[Robin W]

I’ve just added this functionality to my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Display
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics Index Styling

I’m moving my writing community site from Spruz to WordPress/Buddypress site. On the current site we have used the forum function to set up various writing activities under a number of categories where members can post work, goals, and various other things using a visual editor… I want to replicate this on the new site. Any advice on the best and easiest way forward? Will the bbpress plug-in allow me to create a forum category with sub categories?

the new site is expatwritersabroad.com but I haven’t completed the set up yet and it’s still under construction.
Thanks in anticipation

bbp_[get]_reply_post_date( bbp_get_topic_id() );

Really the bbp_reply_post_date() function doesn’t analyze post_type so you can give it anything you want, not only with type “reply”.

P.S. Topics (and everything) is bbPress is a post (class WP_Post), and every post has post_date (https://codex.wordpress.org/images/2/25/WP4.4.2-ERD.png).

I think this way is the most elegant and straightforward.

Here are the details:

~ WordPress 4.9.8
~ Travel Eye Pro theme
~ BBPress Version 2.5.14

This issue is with a company Intranet so not accessible from the Internet.

When a new topic is created via the Topic option in the WordPress dashboard subscribers are not notified. When a new Topic is created on the Forum page using the New Topic fields and editor subscribers are notified. I’ve tested this across multiple forums and this behavior is repeatable. I see the new topics in the forums regardless of where they’re entered but subscribers are only notified if the topic is created from the forum webpage. Have I missed a configuration step in WordPress or is this a bug?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer. Happy Monday!

[Robin W]

you can put the code in your child theme functions file or put it in a plugin like this which is probably easier

Code Snippets

[Robin W]

function custom_bbp_sub_forum_list() {
  $args['separator'] = ';' ;
  return $args;
}
 add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_sub_forum_list' );

or use

bbp style pack

to get the lists vertical

Hallo,
wir haben eine WordPress (4.98) Homepage inkl. bbPress Forum aufgebaut.
In der Fusszeile haben wir einige statistische Informationen über Widgets eingeblendet.
So auch die “neueste Themen”.
Funktioniert auch soweit, nur haben wir für die Admins einen Privatbereich eingerichtet dessen Themen nun hier angezeigt werden, auch wenn man NICHT eingeloggt ist.
Resultat ist ständige Nachfrage von Usern wieso man eine Fehlermeldung (Ops 404) erhält wenn man die Themen anwählt.
Kann man das so einstellen, dass auch nur die die neuesten Themen angezeigt bekommen, die die Berechtigung hierfür haben?
Grüße
Armin
