easiest solution is this plugin, which lets you set all that

bbpress is a free plugin and this forum is a community forum – there are no paid staff, so questions are answered by volunteers.

bbpress uses wordpress registration, so the issue is a wordpress one, and as suggested by the password reset, you should contact you host provider.

Does bbPress add any cookies beyond the standard WordPress login cookies? We’re putting together the list of all the cookies the site sets and aren’t sure if bbPress is adding any. If it does add any, could you list the name, duration and purpose of the cookie(s)?

[Ray Konopka]

I am trying to import the forums and topics from our existing phpBB forums. There are about a dozen forums, and about 400 topics and 1600 posts. I have set the values on the Import Forums page to the following:

Select Platform = phpBB
Database Server = mssql2.<hostingdomain>.com
Database Port = 3306
Database Name = <name of the database>
Database Username = <admin user>
Database Password = <password>
Table Prefix = phpbb_

However, when I start the conversion, it reports “No forums to convert”, “No forum parents to convert”, and so on.

I do not get any errors when I run the conversion. The existing phpBB forums are in a MSSQL database and not a MySQL database. I suspect that this may be the reason nothing is discovered.

Any help would be appreciated.

it is not good practise to amend bbpress (or any plugin) files.

The code should go in the custom css area of your there if it has one, or via a plugin such as https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

for the threads are, the simplest would be to use my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

and change the roles in

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum roles

for your specific area, we would need the code you added in your functions file, but that should be able to then use the plugin settings above

If you are talking about the plugin ‘bbp private groups’, then is the user has permission to see a topic (ie is a member of that group) then I would expect then to see it.

If you still have an issue, please re-log in https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups and I’ll pick it up there

[webmasterfreya]

ello,

Members of private groups are missing in their overviews the started topics and created replies from private forum(s) .

e.g Group member erwintest (member of 1 group) added some topics and replies in the private forum that should (at least i expect that) pop up via this link
/members/erwintest/forums/ and /members/erwintest/forums/replies/ but they don’t.

However if i logon as administrator and use the same links, the started topics and created replies placed in the private forum of user erwintest do popup.

Is this expected behaviour or not?

With Non private forums there is no problem.

Hi Experts,

BBPress 2.5.14 and also using BB style pack 3.9.2
Wordpress version 4.9.6
Site url: StandUpGirl.com

Issue:
I am getting many errors in the google search console for titles that have words like haven’t, won’t, I’m which are contraction words. These words show up as this sample /forums/topic/i-haven-t-posted-in-a-while-but/ where you can see the word haven’t is haven-t. The search bots don’t understand the ‘t’ and I get errors. Also if a user puts an comma in the title I get errors.

How do I fix this?

Thank you so much for giving me help!
Diana

Checkout the phpBB converter, it’s one of the best example implementations.

Use _bbp_old_topic_id to grab your old topic id:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php#L183

p.s. The above phpBB converter uses bbPress 2.6 alpha which has many new refinements for the importer over bbPress 2.5, I’d suggest you use bbPress 2.6 alpha for any imports due to those improvements, it can be found here https://bbpress.org/download (bbPress.org and wordpress.org both use bbPress 2.6)

Hi All,

I have a forum in SQLITE format and I want to import it into bbPress.

I decided that if I was going to have to convert to a MYSQL database, I might as well use the schema indicated in Example.php

As I didn’t *actually* have the schema, I had to *guess* based on the fields in Example.php

For example:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS forums_table (

_bbp_old_forum_id int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_parent_id int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_topic_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_reply_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_total_topic_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_total_reply_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_forum_title varchar(150) NOT NULL default ‘ ‘,

the_forum_slug varchar(255) NOT NULL default ‘ ‘,

the_forum_description text NOT NULL,

the_forum_order int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_forum_type int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_forum_status int(10) NOT NULL default 0

);

Having created the database as it is in Example.php, all I needed to do was load the MYSQL database from my SQLITE database.

Job done!

Yeah? Not so fast…

The import fails here:

SELECT convert(topics_table.the_topic_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_id,convert(topics_table.the_topic_reply_count USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_reply_count,convert(topics_table.the_total_topic_reply_count USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_total_topic_reply_count,convert(topics_table.the_topic_parent_forum_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_parent_forum_id,convert(topics_table.the_topic_author_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_author_id,convert(topics_table.the_topic_author_ip_address USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_author_ip_address,convert(topics_table.the_topic_content USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_content,convert(topics_table.the_topic_title USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_title,convert(topics_table.the_topic_slug USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_slug,convert(topics_table.the_topic_sticky_status USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_sticky_status,convert(topics_table.the_topic_creation_date USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_creation_date,convert(topics_table.the_topic_modified_date USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_modified_date,convert(replies_table.the_topic_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_id FROM topics_table AS topics_table INNER JOIN replies_table
AS replies_table USING replies_table.the_topic_id = topics_table.the_topic_id WHERE forums_table.the_topic_id = 0 LIMIT 0, 100

Lookee thar… a mystery field!

forums_table.the_topic_id

Are there any other mandatory fields in the import schema that are not referenced in Example.php?

And… what field from my database should I load to forums_table.the_topic_id ?

Thanks!

bbPress includes a tool to delete all the bbPress data

Install and activate the bbPress plugin again
Go to Tools -> Forums -> “Reset Forums” tab
Check the “Are you sure you want to do this?” checkbox
Click “Reset bbPress”
Deactivate and delete the bbPress plugin
This will remove all bbPress data from your WordPress database, including custom post types, topic tag taxonomy and user meta.

I am trying to stick a reply at the top of the replies page, can anyone help please.
to explain..
I have a forum called countries containing
forums for each country, inside each country (forum) are topics called airport names,
inside each topic (airport names) are replies, I would like to stick one of the replies to the top of the list of replies for that airport, the one I want to stick is unlikely to be the first entry for that airport.
I hope that makes sense.

Code goes into the file functions.php that you can find on Appearance – Editor – Function.php. Open the file and paste it at the end. Just be careful because depending the theme code it can work fine or break your wordpress (if it breaks the wp just remove the code using cpanel or ftp).

The code allow you to upload featured image for bbpress forums. Then you can give it css style for a better looking.

To do this you need administrator access.

When we post a link to our forums on Facebook, the link preview isn’t very attractive. In an attempt to make that appear differently on Facebook, I’ve created a ‘Featured Image’. I went in to our website to upload that image, but since there is no Page where bbPress lives on our site, I can’t find a way to apply an image to the forum as a “featured image”.

How can I make that happen?

[webmasterfreya]

Hi,

I have the following code in my themes functions.php
function bbp_reverse_reply_order( $query = array() ) { // bbp_has_replies_query is depricated ?
$query['order']='DESC';
return $query;
}
add_filter('bbp_has_replies_query','bbp_reverse_reply_order');

This works fine except when a new reply is added, you get redirected to the page with the oldest replies instead of the page that contains the just added reply. This seems to be an old problem, have tried various plugins, but they all lead to the same outcome.

So the question is how to force, after adding a new reply, to be directed to the right page.

im not sure antispam bee is compatible with bbPress though, there is a plugin for bbPress that is inspired by antispam bee though.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-antispam/

maybe you should manually approve users using this plugin too

I think it would be more better to go through the list of Best security plugins to keep website secure and protected.

My website is in Spanish, but bbpress appears in English.

Buddypress is translated without problem. In change, the bbpress translation does not work even if you have uploaded the bbpress-es_ES.po and bbpress-es_ES.mo files to / www / wp-content / languages / bbpress after creating the folder.

In the following link you can check how it is in English:

[matty19901]

FYI I’m using version 4.9.6 of wordpress and version 2.5.14 of bbPress.

I added custom code to my theme functions.php page to add customized roles for bbPress. The roles show up when I edit users and want to change their roles, but when I go to save it, they just default back to a participant role. How can I fix this? Here is the code I used below:

/* bbPress Custom Roles */
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 

$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
'name' => 'Producer',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
'name' => 'Engineer',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role4'] = array(
'name' => 'Songwriter',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role5'] = array(
'name' => 'Staff',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$moderator = bbp_get_moderator_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$moderator] = array(
'name' => 'Moderator',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$keymaster = bbp_get_keymaster_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$keymaster] = array(
'name' => 'Chief Executive Officer',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$apprentice = bbp_get_participant_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$apprentice] = array(
'name' => 'Member',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
