Here’s the exact change in that code that was added for the next bbPress release

If you haven’t joined up for WordPress’ Slack please do 🙂

https://chat.wordpress.org

Please remember though, the discussions on WordPress’ Slack will be about adding GDPR to WordPress Core, as bbPress and BuddyPress are official “sister projects” of the WordPress project we’ll be for the most part following and implementing the solution WordPress Core decides upon, this will be implemented across these bbPress.org, buddypress.org, and wordpress.org support forums and shipped in an upcoming bbPress release 🙂

Sorry, English is not my native language, I can distort phrases. I’ll try differently:

After importing a new site in …wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic and wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply is there anything?
Perhaps the topic and answer did not receive the correct post_type when importing

You can try to update the old site.
You can backup the database (in order to roll back in case of something), then:
Disable all plugins.
Update WordPress (if you can not get to the latest version, then you can add intermediate ones – they are available at https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/)
After updating WordPress update bbPress.

P.S.Your links require authentication 🙂

ok, so we need to look at exactly what this law does.
The law is here :

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679

and from my reading you can pretty much forget the scare stuff in google !

Ignore the recitals (they are not part of the law) and skip to the actual articles
So first scope :
Article 3 says :

This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system.

So what is processing?
Article 4 (2) says

processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;

and what is personal data ?
This is defined by article 4(1) which states

‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’);

And goes on to define what identifiable means (as opposed to say anonymised data)

an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

So personal data is information relating to a ‘data subject’ and is processed. So NOT comment written by that data subject, or other people’s views on either the data subject himself or other people’s views on the data subject’s views. If it is wrong, defaming or libellous then this is already covered by existing law.

There is no requirement to delete topics or replies as far as I can see.

A good analogy would be if I had a newspaper subscription. If I cancel the subscription to their on-line service, then I would expect them to delete my name, address, bank account details or anything else they hold in connection with that subscription. The legislation as far as I can see does not require them to delete their on-line coverage of my wedding, nor the comment I put in the comment box under that news story about Madonna adopting another child. Neither of those is personal data. Nor is someone else’s @mentions of my name. Otherwise we could all just write to every paper, and no-one could publish anything about us ever again !!!

If this law really gave you the right to have posts removed, then this would be huge and making headlines. For instance the newspapers would be all over the fact that after April Facebook, Instagram twitter etc. would have to delete all posts made by me, or about me or where I could be identified. This would be a MEGA story – and we would all know about it by now.

It IS appropriate for website owners to consider – as if asked to delate a user, you would need to totally remove their existence not just from the current wordpress database (which deleting a user does) but also from any membership plugins, woocommerce plugins etc, etc.

But I see no way that bbpress needs to worry about this law.

But I’m not a lawyer.

Hi, I am using this Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbspoiler/

The button ‘spoiler’ is not visible in bbpress frontend. Only in admin backend.

[krioteh]

The structure is the same, you have in one database two sites

Tables with the prefix wp_ – tables WordPress

wdsrj_ – this seems to be Joomla? – they do not affect WP in any way

[krioteh]

Are themes and answers displayed in the console?
Type of record when importing has not changed?

Perhaps the topics were imported as posts, then this plugin can help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-move-topics/

You can also try to put bbPress 2.6RC5, in it there are some additional tools …

[Robin W]

in no particular order

If you’re not using buddypress, then better to deactivate.

in terms of having users with different access, then my private groups plugin will let you do that

Private groups

There are several plugins that have new user approval such as

I’ve inherited a WordPress site (v3.2.1) running bbPress v2.0. I’d like to update everything to current releases and then see about adding some features. I’ve run into roadblocks at every turn.

Because of custom plugins, I can’t upgrade anything, as it all breaks right away, so I thought I’d start with a fresh install of WordPress (v4.9.4) and bbPress (v2.5.14) and try to re-create the site.

I can’t get the old posts out of the old site and into the new one.

I tried “bbPress Import & Export”, which doesn’t do anything (blank screen when I try to export), but was able to get an XML file out of the Tools->Export page.

When I tried to import it on the new site, I was asked to match up all the users (a pain with over 200 to do one-by-one), which seemed successful, but I ended up with a main forums page that looks right as far as Topics and Posts go, but the Freshness column says “No Topics” and clicking into a thread results in a “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” message.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,

I still get the same problems, that have mentioned above.
No solutions worked for me, to switch the forum into german language.
Language file (*.mo, *.po) Syntax double checked (bbpress-de_DE), path on server, plugin (WPT Custom Mo File) to use a custom language.

Please fix it!

I’m using WordPress 4.8.1 with Enfold Child theme and your product in version 2.5.14

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,
John

Perhaps this plug-in is what you need?
BP Multiple Forum Post

[Robin W]

Public – forum AND topics are visible to public

Private – Forum AND topics are visible to logged in users only

If you want more granularity than that use

Private groups

which would let you have the forum visible but not the topics

Hi,
I’m a newbie!

I’m using the WordPress theme called Directory by Templatic.

Is it possible to create two DIFFERENT Forums on my site on different pages using BBPress?

Basically the one would just be a general forum while the other would have to have security features built in.

Thank you,

Alan

Hi,
I’m a newbie!

I’m using the WordPress theme called Directory by Templatic.

I’ve just downloaded and activated BBPress but I cant find it in the WP Menu on left side of page.

Could the problem be that I already have another Forum plugin active on my site?

Thank you,

Alan

BBpress Forum Redirect ties the page of content and the forum topic used for ‘Topics for posts’ together better.

E.g. https://www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/gps-tracks-rides/north-island-tracks/makairo-track/
This page ‘uses ‘topics for posts’ to have a BBpress forum topic instead of WordPress comments underneath the page content.

The BBPress topic for the above page also appears on it’s own in the BBpress forums, in my case at https://www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/forums/topic/makairo-track/

‘BBpress Forum Redirect’ provides a URL field in the forum topic admins screen to redirect the forum url to. In my case I redirect the forum url to the page url so that when the forum topic is accessed directly via the BBpress forum, the user is redirected to the content page with the forum topic underneath. You can see this in action where https://www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/forums/topic/makairo-track/ redirects to https://www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/gps-tracks-rides/north-island-tracks/makairo-track/

Without ‘BBpress Forum Redirect’ if the user accessed the forum topic the user would be able to read the forum topic but would have no visibility of the page the topic was in regard to.

We have WordPress version 4.9.4 and tried to install bbPress on our site yesterday. Our site is http://www.oen.org

I have successfully created a forum index using shortcode and populated one forum with a topic. However, when I click on the Forum name from the index, I get taken to a page that merely includes our nav menu and footer (see screenshots below). I cannot get to a page that displays the forum topics. Any ideas what might be going on?

Forum index:

Forum page:

[Robin W]

lots of questions !

1. ◾Each time i push a picture, this code appears : “[Caption id=”xxxx” align=”aligncenter” width=”468″> xxxxxxxxxx (…) [/caption]“, but if i keep this, this will be printed online. I need to delete this caption insert for better visuals. Is it normal ?

I don’t know what you are doing to create the picture – please describe your steps

2. ◾The user avatar in forum list (for example) is smaller than it will be. Normal ?

yes that is normal. To amend it you would need to amedn a template. If you confirm that you have and know how to use FTP, I will give you some instructions

3. ◾Each post modification is notified under the post… But if i edit 15 times a post, it will be 15 rows about this modifications ?

if you install my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

then once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp Style Pack>topic/reply styling item 12 you can limit the number shown and if you go to
dashboard>settings>bbp Style Pack>topic/topic/reply form items 7 & 8 let you switch off this feature

4. ◾In responsive mode (mobile), the post height is mid-screen only… It’s difficult to read… any idea ?

I tried it – it seemed easy to read to me – please explain exactly what you want

[Robin W]

my style pack plugin let you do that

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>topic order tab

and then you can set an alternate for one or more forums

[Robin W]

you can export topics and replies using wordpress to an xml

go to

dashboard>tools>export>and select topics and replies

or if you want csv, this plugin may work (it is quite old, but as you’re exporting might be worth a try)

DB Tables Import/Export

[Robin W]

We were all newbies once, so please don’t worry about not being able to explain in technical terms !

The problem of course is that I can’t see your site, so it is like you phoning me up and saying your car is making a funny noise, what’s wrong? 🙂 🙂

I’d suggest we get to something you can publish, and then when you have I can give better help once I can see the site.

So try this :

install

bbp style pack

and activate

Once activated go to

Dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login and you’ll see setting that will let you add a login and register in the menu rather than a widget.

You will also see that you can style lots of things, so the text size on the forum page is changed by

Dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forums Index Styling>5. links

[locutus1]

The above link goes to a page with 2 closed and 1 open topic. You can even see “This forum contains 3 topics”. I logged out as admin and now I can’t see them. So you need to be logged in to see them. I’m new to WordPress so I don’t know why it’s like that.

Hi,

So my client says that their site currently runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365. We are currently in process of designing a WordPress site for them. They would like their forum/message board to be redesigned and to use another forum software instead (like bbPress, for example). I am by no means familiar with the inner workings of Microsoft Dynamics or bbPress and haven’t had the chance to poke around in the client’s current website (we are not at this stage yet).

Does anyone know how I can export all of the current posts and users from Microsoft Dynamics to the new forum software like bbPress? I assume there is a file I need?

If I sound like I have no clue what I’m doing, then it’s because I really don’t right now. This is new territory for me. I apologize.

Thank you!

[Robin W]

if you want to restrict to just registered users, then simply set the forum to private

dashboard>setting>forums>all forums>edit forum and just set to private on then right hand side.

If you want something more complex, then my private groups plugin gives lots of granularity

WordPress version – 4.9.3
Theme – Generate Press Pro
bbPress version – 2.5.14
link to your site – nuatv.com
Simple WordPress Membership – 3.6.0

I use Simple WordPress Membership to secure member only pages on our site, including the BBPress Forum index. The Forum is on a protected page with the shortcode:
[bbp-forum-index]
The index page is listed in the WordPress pages.
However, if I open a forum post page like:

General discussion

this page does NOT appear in the list of WordPress pages and therefore I cannot apply access settings to the page.

Where ARE the various forum pages and how can I get to them to set access permissions? I want to restrict forum access to site members only.
