I have the same issue, my custom translation doesn’t work.

As far as I understand the problem exist for a year already:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37819

[Vinod Dalvi]

The RC 5 is not getting downloaded for me from the page https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/advanced/

https://ibb.co/cfQDB5

I am getting the following error.

This site can’t be reached

The web page at https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6-rc-5.zip might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

WordPress 4.8.2 running GeneratePress theme
bbpress Version 2.5.14

‘Forums’ has disappeared from the wordpress admin menu. They are still there on the front end but I can’t access forums on the dashboard.

Help?

[clearscope]

Not sure what you mean – are you suggesting that this is a conflict with the site itself?

This issue is occurring with the default Twenty Seventeen theme, the most recent version of WordPress, the most recent version of bbPress, and with no other plugins installed.

It seems that this is an issue with bbPress itself, not any sort of conflict with a site.

whilst it is old, I believe it still works fine

bbPress Moderation

my style pack has a template that groups forums by categories to achieve this layout

bbp style pack

dashboard>plugins>bbp style pack>forum templates

[John James Jacoby]

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41134 seems relevant here.

@fabian If you wanted to take a stab at sprucing bbPress up with its own polyfill for autoload support, I’m happy to help test and implement.

We should probably open a ticket on our Trac as well.

Hello,

Can somebody please tell me how translation of bbpress works?

What I did:

I installed WordPress and set my default language
I installed bbpress plugin
I installed Loco translate
I create the map languages/bbpress on ftp
I downloaded the .po and .mo and put in the map

But nothing is working! Can somebody help me please?

[Robin W]

just had a quick look at what was in the free version, and looks like the pro version may have what you want – it claims

Buddpress profile link integration (New in V1.0.4)
BBpress profile link integration (New in V1.0.4)
BBpress Online User Statistics (New in V1.0.5)

maybe worth looking at

CBX User Online for WordPress

[Droidism]

@rogerlridge you can also see if this plugin does what you want/need; https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/

I have installed bbPress and have the forums set up (N1outdoors.com/n1forums). When someone registers as a new user, I receive the notification that a new user has signed up. However, they never receive the password email. I have tried this on multiple computers/devices in multiple places and cannot get it to work.

I have seen several posts where this is a problem, but cannot find an answer that works. I am not a developer, but am trying to fix this on our site. Please help. Thank you.

My wordpress version is 4.8.2

I am using the following:
bbPress Version 2.5.14

Select bbPress – Moderation Tools
Version 1.0.7 | By Digital Arm

Select bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages
Version 2.1.5 | By Tomas Zhu | View details

Hi there,
How can I replace “voices” and “replaies” with icons (i.e. Font Awosome), as I can see in WordPress Support Forum?

-> https://wordpress.org/support/view/all-topics/

Is there any plugin? Or I need to edit php files (but then what happens after every bbpress update?)? Thanks!

[vegetarianzen]

Hello Team bbpress

I am using the plugin bbpress. I want to customise that view of forum similar to http://www.veggieboards.com/forum/index.php this link.

I have created the child theme and add the css folder and archive-forums.php file in the child theme. I am not able to customise plugin using css only because I want to change the structure. If I change plugin core file then future update overwrite my code and when I am place the complete plugin in child then its stop working and page become blank.

Please give me the solution I am waiting your solutions.

My bbpress plugin Version: 2.5.14

Wordpress Version: 4.8.2

Thanks

yes, you need my private groups plugin, an to enable topic permissions, which let you determine which groups can create topics and replies

My goal is to create a login and registration for my forum. I go to wordpress admin page > Appearance > Widgets. Although, when I do this no “bbpress sidebar” is available to put widgets into it. What do I do?

[Mike Costanzo]

Hi there!

I’m importing forums from Rainmaker into WordPress 4.8.2 and BBPress 2.5.14. On first glance, it looks like all has done well; a quick glance at a sample Forum, for example, tells me:

“This forum contains 74 topics and 698 replies.”

However, my Topics and Replies are not being “found” when a Forum is clicked on:

“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

This appears to be because the post_parent in wp_posts for all these Topics and Replies is set to “0” in the database. And what’s worse, the “Repair” tools like “Recalculate the parent topic for each post” or “Recalculate the parent forum for each post” do not fix the problem; post_parent remains at value 0.

The only way I have found to populate a Topic with the correct post_parent value is to open that topic in the Editor and click Publish. But since I have hundreds of Topics and thousands of Replies, manually saving all these Posts is hardly a workable solution.

Does anyone know of a better way to solve this problem that doesn’t involve nearly infinite man-hours of drudgery and toil?

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give. Long live BBPress!

It was close to 10 years ago we did this.

The reason why passwords work better for us here is that we can arrange a class for paid members, several classes each month. The instructions and curriculum will be in private/locked forum. This will change every month and we will have multiple classes each month.

If we can simply add a password, we can email that out to the class lists. Using private groups someone would have to modify all those users and that is time consuming. Also what if a person pays for 2 of the 4 classes offered, how would groups handle that? The user would have to be a member of multiple groups. There will be new offerings every month so the list of groups would grow to an unmanageable task.

It may have been a mod I did to allow the passwords before, I don’t remember. This was long before WordPress.

[Robin W]

there are none, basically bbpress is a plugin under wordpress, so if your wordpress site works, then bbpress should, with any in support versions of php and wordpress

[Robin W]

ok, so it’s more a site than a bbpress issue.

so more fault finding needed.

try this

The problem of conditionally loading the PHP files will go away when we can start to officially support autoloading for versions of PHP greater than 5.2.

With BuddyPress, we did move to supporting autoloading when it’s available. bbPress has fewer files, and is a simpler piece of software, so my preference would be to keep it a bit more pristine and not include the same conditional support until it’s a general requirement for running WordPress.

Anything we can do to make bbPress more performant is definitely encouraged, so I appreciate you noticing, and taking the time to start the discussion here.

[Fabian]

1) It is true and I’ll show you some more precise benchmarks on this for a concrete example. Take the filter bbp_map_meta_caps, it’s within a filter recursion, where the filter fires it self again. The recursively fires 4 times with bbpress only. Now if another plugins does the same, it could get up to 16. Plugin run times include each other through the filter api. In worst case you can’t just add them to each other, they bias by some non-linear function that is definitely not O(n).
Your point is true, that you can’t blame a plugin for being slower in conjuntion to others. But, you as a developer, should avoid that other plugins can slowdown your own plugin, by minimal intrusion into the WordPress plugin API. And bbPress does not have this minimal intrusion. Of course it is a big software product, but there is high potential to conditionally hook into WP only on pages it needs to.

2) No its not completely irrelevant. I wasnt clear enouh here, I’m not referring to file count, but yeah -how you said- file size or LLOC. Were not talking about vulcanizing scripts. You’re right, the PHP interpreter got very fast and it should not matter, but consider:

a) Only the inclusion of bbpress main file makes PHP allocate about 600 KB. Thats a lot, considering 0 output bytes. And this happens on every request, every REST.

b) Think about who runs a WordPress site, not people that have a dedicated high performance server. Usually its a webspace in a VM. These systems can power hundreds of sites, so the webserver does not just read 500 files at the same time, but lets say 10000. This lowers the chance to find the same PHP code in some cache between subsequent requests. The code size per request starts to matter here.

b) It is a style thing, I dont want my programs to load 1MB code without using it. And yeah, there are many plugins that just follow WordPress style to include everything, but this does not mean it is a good style to follow. Unfortunately, there is no well known code metric that covers this. WP was created in darker times of PHP, without autoloaders. Why do we have them now? I dont get it why so few plugins properly use them, it takes a day to refactor your plugin and another to test.

bbPress is not doing bad. It could just be more minimal if the forum is just a smaller part of your website. I dont expect 25 plugins to allocate 0 memory, but I expect 25 plugins not to clog my dashboard and frontpage, where I do not want them to load. I want them to do what they are supposed to do on specific pages within the front- and backend.
Its true that woocomerce is the worst.
I could optimize it though. It only loads on the shop frontpage, on the checkout page, on product pages, specific ajax actions and REST endpoints. The cart can be XHR, or one can keep on loading the plugin once a cookie is set. This technique makes the wp-admin dashboard fast too.

(I’ll back with the benchmarks)

[Robin W]

bit of a cop out answer (ie ‘we can’t be bothered’), but yes you can manually do this using

bbP Toolkit

[MakarkinPRO]

I have 10 forums. I want restricted access from Guest/NotPaid users. And if user want access to, he paying via CreditCard (PayPal ATM processing).

I installed:

WooCommerce
YITH WooCommerce Subscription (free)
bbPress Private Gorups

But I can’t connect things together. I thinking it that way:
1) I create a privite gorups where wordpress’s User Roles is PaidSubscripber. BTW:When user just login/signup to my BBpress he have a User Role named just a Subscriber.
2) After he addint subscription item to the card and paid for that, his WordPress Role is SHOULD change from Subscriber to PaidSubscriber, but I cannot find that option into YITH WooCommerce Subscription (free).

Questions:
Am I thinking in the right direction?
May be YITH WooCommerce Subscription (free) doesn’t support of changing user role for a paid period of time (I set 1 month)?
