It is shocking how bad this forum aspect of WordPress is Amazing that consumers put up with it, really.

oh how I agree that something that has taken a lot of people a lot of time to write for free, is maintained for free, and supported for free, and has cost you nothing doesn’t do what you want. Absolutely disgusting and shouldn’t be allowed. Of course you could always crack the code open and help improve it, or perhaps it is easier to just easier to expect someone else to do that for you and just complain when it doesn’t.

I have the same thing.

I just don’t think this bbPress / BuddyPress stuff integrates well enough to be let loose on an active site with 5,000 daily visitors.

It’s a developer tool and starting point. A developer would reap the fees of getting it all to work well, while single users of WordPress just have the misery.

It depends what you mean by ‘People can create these courses and forums using our site’ – do you mean anyone, or just a select few who run this stuff?

Hidden forums will only be seen by users with moderator privilege, so that’s not what you’ll want for ordinary users.

closest you’ll get is my private groups plugin

Private groups

Many people use it to have course linked forums but it won’t do what you are asking if you want users to be able to administer the creation of forums. If it’s just a select few admikns who do this, then it might be good for you.

Make a child theme for your wordpress theme, copy the folder content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress into your child theme, edit the contents of that file as much as you need without affecting the actual plugin files.

it’s not a plugin, it becomes part of your actual theme, making your changes immune to updates for the most part.

Hi Christophe,
Hi anyone who might search for a way to moderate topics / forum posts before they get posted.
I have found a plugin for moderating bbPress posts which is free, very up to date and worked fine for me. Its name is “bbPress – Moderation Tools” and I found it in WP backend > Plugins > Add New > Search for “bbPress – Moderation Tools”
Here is a link to the plugin page:

bbPress – Moderation Tools

Important: After installing and activating the plugin you have to go to Settings > Forums, scroll down and configure your moderation settings.

You will get notified via email when a new post has to be moderated. Then login to backend, go to topics, in the right sidebar change the status of the topic from Pending to Open.

Have fun!
Matt

I recently installed bbPress and the e-mail activations were working fine. I made no changes and now the activation e-mail is not being sent. I did go in manually and assign those users access manually but need to find out / fix the issue of activation e-mails not being sent to users to verify.

Hey guys, I am new to wordpress, and bbpress. I am starting a forum, and I want to add a profile page for the users. I also want to add the ability to make a signature at the end of their posts. I do not know how to work with the scripts so much, I get lost in which editor I should be using, or where to place the information. The scripts I have put in following other threads have had no effect.

This is the first post I’ve found that accurately describes my predicament.

I am setting up a development site and attempting to import my forums via multiple XML files. However, the import process seems to be breaking a key relationship that allows the front-end of BBPress to work.

After importing, the Forums, Topics, and Replies all display correctly in the Dashboard, but on the front end I just get the standard “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” If I then run the Repair Tools “Recalculate the parent topic for each post” and/or “Recalculate the parent forum for each post,” then the relationship between Forums and Topics is lost, and the Replies page fails to load completely (returns an empty page with no error message).

From my digging around in the database, this problem seems centered around the field post_parent in wp_posts. On import, WordPress is setting this to “0” instead of the value in my XML file. If I click “Edit” on a Topic in the Dashboard and then click “Update” without changing anything, WordPress correctly repopulates this post_parent value and the Topic appears on the front end under its parent forum. But like @bigt11 and @welshdemon, I don’t have time to do that with 1,200 Topics and 7,400 Replies.

Does anyone have any ideas? I have spent weeks trying to figure this out. I have tried multiple different XML import plugins, but none of them seem to word well with BBPress (or work with big XML files). Any help you can give here is very much appreciated!

Im trying to create a FORUM section for my MEMBERS ONLY area of which I’m using Thrive Themes awesome feature ‘Thrive Apprentice to create (Thrive apprentice creates a different section to my main website with a different menu and logo)

I’m using the bbPress plugin for this forum section, however whenever I click on any link it goes back to my main page section with the separate menu logo etc.

Is there a way to make my forum stick in my Thrive Apprentice Area without redirecting to my main website?

This is where I want my forum to be and stay – https://direwolves.gg/members/forums/
This link is where I’m redirected to – https://direwolves.gg/forums/forum/general-discussion/

Hello,

I have a private forum.

Yesterday, I wanted to move a reply to a new forum I created. But I guess I did something wrong.

Now, the participants of the forum could not see anymore the Topics and Replys. They only can see the Forums but when they click on Forum to get acces to all the Topics inside of the forum, there is a message saying: “What a pity, there is no topics find here”.

What’s strange, as a webmaster, I can see all the topics perfectly…

Do you have any idea of what’s wrong for all the users ?

Thanks.

Paul

Hi
I have a weird problem with bbpress
most of the words in bbpress is not translated but some is
like: Freshness is in english but the no topics is translated to arabic
i have the latest version of bbpress
i have configured wp_config.php to arabic
and my default wordpress language is arabic
also i double checked all the translation files in this directory
–/wp-content/languages/bbpress
and
—/wp-content/languages/plugins/bbpress
and still a lot of sentences is completely in english even though when i use the loco translation plugin and search for this words they show up translated just fine

[Taim786]

Hi Gunilla,

If you have still not resolved your problem, you need to edit your wp-config.php file which should be located in the root of your WordPress installation. You need to insert below mention code at the end of the file and then this error will disappear.

define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );
