https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/ will let you set up different groups and have users with different access.

Hi,
I have noticed all emails sent when someone registers are from wordpress@mydomainname.com! Is it possible to change it to admin@mydomainname.com or completely hide wordpress from email correspondences?

In setting up new forums on a new instance of my WordPress Multisite, when I create a new topic, the input area does not include a button to add an attachment. The only areas on the page are topic title, topic content, topic type, topic status, and submit. What am I missing that I should be doing?
Current versions of WordPress, bbPress, etc.

I had this problem once before but I can’t recall how it was fixed.

Hi Robin, thanks for your reply. I’m in Australia so our time differences may cause a delay in my responses.

Both old posts and new posts have stopped displaying images.

I’ve turned off Paid Membership Pro on this forum so you can get in and have a look. This is my production site.

This thread is an example with both posts and replies where the photos aren’t displaying.

I’ve unlocked the same forum on the staging site and created a new topic and reply from the dashboard. While the photos display in the dashboard visual editor, they don’t display in the user view.

So, just to confirm your questions, it appears photos are not displaying in either new or old posts or replies on production or staging (with standard WP theme).

Going back and looking at WordPress release dates (4.8 was mid-2017) makes me think this is not related. It was working fine well after that. Especially if you’ve just tested it and you’re displaying photos with <p> tags. I’m going back to a plugin conflict…

Cheers
Matt

Hi,
can the import function also import the attachments from SMF 2.0.15 ?
Does it place it into the Media-Library or where ?
Do I need to have installed the GD bbPress Attachments
plugin, before I do the import from SMF ?
I just tried without it and it seems it did not import
any attachments…
Or are the attachments at least somehow linked into the WordPress Database ?

Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.

Hi. I am willing to insert a bbpress forum in my wordpress themed site, i’m also using Divi as builder interface.
The page in which i want to add the forum is http://www.doomtrooper.it/forum
The home page of the forum is fine, but the problem is : when i click on any of the forum links, the site opens up a new “template” page, in which there is obviously no background, no image, no personalisation, etc…
How can i force bbpress to open up links in the same page? i mean…something like iframe or whatever…i need to “embed” all the forum in the http://www.doomtrooper.it/forum page in order to maintain styles.
I’m asking for the easiest/better solution.
Thanks.

@sarwarc – I just created this very simple plugin to give you access to the user profile link via a shortcode. You can use it in conjunction with the Shortcodes in Menus plugin to add a link to the user’s profile page in your menu.

[tylertervooren]

Glad you got it figured out. I just created this very simple plugin to print the profile url via shortcode in case you find it useful

[tylertervooren]

I have also created a very simple plugin to give you access to the user profile url.

[tylertervooren]

I just created this plugin. I think it will do exactly what you’re trying to achieve.

[tylertervooren]

I’ll start by saying I have no idea what I’m doing and I can barely write php better than a toddler.

I noticed that people have been asking for this (or something very similar to this) for years and it still isn’t part of core and no one’s written a plugin for it. I needed to figure it out on my own, so thought I’d finally make an attempt to contribute back to a platform that has given me so much.

bbPress Profile Link Shortcode

It doesn’t do anything fancy, but it does what it says. Hope you find it helpful!

Hi
I have WordPress Multisite. I registered the test user. I logged in and changed my password. I added a test topic on the bbpress forum. Then I could not enter my profile to edit it. Wrote something – no access. In the administration panel wrote: Site Role – Participant, Forum Role – Participant. I changed Site Role to Subscriber. This solved the problem. In my opinion should automatically register the user as Subscriber.

Hi Robin, the link #bsptopic takes me to the home URL -which has to do with the .htaccess, I guess, as I have WordPress in a subfolder- so I changed it to https://mysite/../#bsptopic in bbp-style-pack/includes/functions.php which works just fine but will be destroyed when updating the plug-in. How can I get #bsptopic to work properly or where do I put the URL https://mysite/../#bsptopic where it’s safe. Adding to the child theme functions.php doesn’t work, of course, and trying a new-topic.php with snippets from the functions.php in a mu-plugin directory gave me the white screen 🙁

[Robin W]

I presume you are subscribed to the forums and topics that you are expecting them from – sorry, but 4 years on here and you always ask the obvious 🙂

If you have done ALL of the above, the I would set up https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ and see if that is sending, which would help reduce the issue further

then come back

[Robin W]

bbpress simply uses wordpress login, so if you get wordpress to understand that it is logged in , then bbpress will also.

Maybe one for a wordpress support forum

[jryaus]

Also, i just activated the Twenty Seventeen to see if my forum home page works in that theme, but it still doesn’t. In fact, when I open the page, the wordpress admin ribbon at the top of the screen doesn’t even show up and it’s just a white page. Very strange, at least to me.

Hello,

I am trying to develop a forum in my wordpress site and I have installed bbPress…

My forum will have nested “categories” (down to level 3…)

let me explain better:

Forum category 1
—-> forum sub categity 1.1
———-> forum 1.1.1
———-> forum 1.1.2
———-> forum 1.1.3
—-> forum sub categity 1.2
———-> forum 1.2.1
———-> forum 1.2.2
—-> forum sub categity 1.3
———-> forum 1.3.1
Forum category 2
—-> forum sub categity 2.1
———-> forum 2.1.1
———-> forum 2.1.2

I don’t know if it is my theme or if it is a bbPress configuration, but I cannot see more than level 2

Forum category 1
—-> forum sub categity 1.1
—-> forum sub categity 1.2
—-> forum sub categity 1.3
Forum category 2
—-> forum sub categity 2.1

and to see level 3 I need to clock on level 2 categories….

on top of this I cannot see any breadcrumb navigation for the forum….. is there an option for that?

Many thanks

Regards

[Robin W]

thanks for the post

bbpress includes a version of the wordpress ‘after..parse_args’ which will let you do this so for

•File …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/template.php line 1735:
change ‘tinymce’ => false, into ‘tinymce’ => true,
•File …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/template.php line 1736:
change ‘teeny’ => true, into ‘teeny’ => false,

you could put this code into a functions file or plugin

//editor bbpress
function rew_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'rew_enable_visual_editor' );

and the ability to filter functions so for

•File …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/template.php line 1858:
Remove array_push( $buttons, ‘image’ ); to remove the ‘standard’ image insert button that asks for a full url to an image, since we are replacing this by the [photo] shortcode generator.

use this code in your functions file or plugin

function rew_remove_image_button ($buttons) {
	if (($key = array_search('image', $buttons)) !== false) {
		unset($buttons[$key]);
	}
return $buttons ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_teeny_mce_buttons', 'rew_remove_image_button' );

The you don’t need to alter bbpress files

Let me know if I can help further

@heero I know this thread is old but it still shows up 1st page when I search bbPress themes. So I thought it would be worth providing an upto date answer for future viewers.

The 1st stop I would recommend is checking out wordpress.org/themes where you can find thousands of themes.

However, if you don’t want to spend all day looking through their directory then check out Softwarefindr a platform were forum owners using bbPress give a shortlist of their recommended bbPress themes.

[Robin W]

ok, much of this will be your theme or standard bbpress

add this plugin and use it to style

bbp style pack

on registration, bbpress uses wordpress registration, so looks like that needs troubleshooting

[skiank]

Yes, now the only plugin available is a wordpress plugin.
But some times ago Tapatalk relased an official and supported bbPress plugin.

[Robin W]

As far as I know there is only a wordpress version

[Robin W]

bbpress will use your wordpress theme. If you want to style and add features use

bbp style pack
