WordPress Version: 4.9.6
bbPress Version: 2.5.14

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?

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.

@booknerds

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

New User Approve

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:

WordPress. Versión 4.9.6

[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 );

Good Day everyone,

For a few years now I have bbPress and WordPress installed in French language.
Currently using bbpress 2.5.14 and WordPress 4.9.6.
The two language files bbpress-fr_FR.mo and bbpress-fr_FR.po are located in the wp-content/plugins/languages folder.

Everything looks to work fine except that since the beginning notifications mails are sent in English language. I never figured out the reason and hope someone could help me.
Everytime it’s the default template like “Mr Foo wrote:”, “New Topic”, etc…

The original WordPress install was in English language but I installed the French pack during the updates, I define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’); in wp-config.php as well and the admin interface is in french. I don’t understand. I tried to modified the .po / .mo file with a software but no effects. I’m using WP Config SMTP plugin but I don’t think it’s related, right ?

Any help / advise would be really appreciated.

[pigpotato]

I fixed it like this.

1. make css folder in wordpress>wp-content>theme>[mytheme]
2. cp wordpress>wp-content>plugins>bbpress>templates>default>css>bbpress.css wordpress>wp-content>theme>[mytheme]>css
3. add these code lines in the css file.
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input[id=bbp_anonymous_email]{ display: none; }
4. cp wordpress>wp-content>plugins>bbpress>templates>default>bbpress>form-anonymous.php wordpress>wp-content>theme>[mytheme]>bbpress
5. fix any email address in email textfield. Edit the form-anonymous.php
<input type=”text” id=”bbp_anonymous_email” value=”guest@guest.com” ….

Start with looking at

bbp style pack

and see if that does what you need.

If not – how technical are you in terms of ftp?

I wanted to know if you can help me.

I get to import everything except the users.

I’m trying to import a phpBB3.2.2 to bbPress.
I’ve tried with bbPress 2.5.14, bbPress 2.6 RC5 and bbPress 2.6 beta2.
I’ve tried in the 3 modes with the phpBB.php of dintintos topics but none of them work for me;
– https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php
– https://gist.github.com/pixelnated/5c27a64c450578440554ba902560178f

Currently in our forums, the bbpress username below the avatar seems to be the WordPress username.

How can I change it to be the username from BuddyPress?

Thanks!

Running WordPress 4.9.6 and bbPress version 2.5.14

When someone goes to https://www.togetherpuertorico.com/forums/forum/volunteer-events-opportunities/ and enters their correct username and password and clicks on login, it takes them to the default wordpress login page rather than logging them into their bbPress account.

If they login on the default /wp-login.php page and then go back to https://www.togetherpuertorico.com/forums/forum/volunteer-events-opportunities/ it appears as though they are still not logged in, but if you click the refresh button in Chrome, it now appears that they are logged in.

I’ve tested this with both a wordpress admin user level account and a standard bbPress Subscriber, Participant user role status.

I’ve looked in the server php error log and nothing is recorded.

I’ve reverted back to the default TwentySeventeen theme to see if the theme we are using was the cause, but it still didn’t work.

[MBV]

So this is what I understand from this thread so far, to provide clarity moving forwards:

1. Dynamic reply box that opens next to post replying to in forum is actually already a feature of bbpress, but not for BuddyPress group forums.
2. Some themes seem to not engage this functionality and the way to fix that is to copy the reply.js file into a folder called js that is at the root of child theme.
3. It works with visual editor

So the only problem is that it does not work for Buddypress Group forums. However, @robkk mentioned, earlier in this thread, a patch he made. But he has not been active on these forums for over a year.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2974
It is pretty easy to workaround this issue as well, since all you have to do is enqueue the javascript with a different conditional or enqueue it sitewide, but doing it sitewide might cause another issue somewhere.
Here I just added a bbpress-functions.php file to a twentysixteen child theme. I edited out the conditional causing the issues with groups. You can test this on my test site as well.
You would have to remove the file later if the trac tickets patch I linked to is committed and you are using version 2.6 of bbPress, so that you can have the file enqueued on the pages where it is needed.
https://cloudup.com/czqFBqJE8TE

The trac ticket he mention seems to be resolved yet it’s not working for BP group forums. The link to the code on cloudup is broken.

So that’s the summary of where we are at on this thread… the big question is, does anyone have any insight or can help with enabling the dynamic reply box to BP group forums topics?

I am in the process of migrating a vBulletin DB to bbPress, however, some of the topics in the DB are very old and have been inactive for a number of years.
What are my options regarding the removal of these old entries from the DB?

I feel like I’m the only person that wants to do something like this since I have been unable to find anything relating to old content cleaning on your forum, Google, or the WordPress plugin repository.

[Tommy White]

Where would I find information on changing the CODE /CODE button in bbpress to act like the wordpress CODE insert?

In other words in bbpress clicking the CODE button gives you`
in WordPress clicking the CODE button gives you < code > < /code >

I’m having an issue with a plugin since it handles how my CODEs are displayed and one or the other is broke pending which settings I use.

I hope that makes sense..

[Robin W]

a lot of coding needed to achieve that.

You can do date using

bbp style pack

once activated go to

Bbpress users and developers,

After creating my bbpress forum I was disappointed to find there is no easy way to get full functionality (notifications etc) on smartphone, since tapatalk cut ties with wordpress.

I have found a new application called Topic’it, who have established compatibility with Forumotion and PHPbb software. Their app appears in both the android and ios app stores, and is essentially the same proposed thing as tapatalk.

They are searching for people to create plugins to make their app compatible with more forum platforms. They have given me permission to access their API, so I’m going to attempt this as a solo project, but it will take me time as I’m a computer hobbyist and not a developer in any way.

For the love of Bbpress, let someone more adept than me get over there and give it a shot!

Of course I’ll share my work here if I manage to connect.

[Robin W]

if it is a script, then it will probably be in the WP edit plugin – suggest you post on their support site

I have a forum that uses the visual tab and the text tab.
On the wpress side both tabs work, however when in the bbpress forums, the text tab is just blank.
It was ok yesterday and now is awol?

Any ideas?

Good day!

I was having issue on viewing private forum. It says “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”
See screenshot here: http://prntscr.com/joveye

Also I wasn’t able to create topic on a forum and was being redirected to a 404 page.

I already do plugin and theme conflict test but still it wont work.

I am using the latest version of wordpress and bbpress. The site is using Jollyany theme by JollyThemes. I even tried switching to twentyseventeen theme but still not working.
This is the site where I am having issues with: http://b-mforum.com/

Hoping for any solutions. Thanks in advance!

I have been unable to find a more recent post on this topic (only 2-3 years old), so please excuse me if I overlooked it.

I need to enable @mentions auto suggestions in forum posts. Has this been enabled or is there a way that I can enable this?

Thank you for the help in advance and sorry to ask such a simple question but I have been looking this up for days and can’t find anything recent. 🙂
