You can achieve this using below custom code in your site and editing the text “This is custom text” to whatever you want to display.

function vvd_add_notice_before_topic_form() {
    ?>
        <div class="custom-text">
          <p>
            <?php _e( "This is custom text." ); ?>
          </p>
        </div>
    <?php
 }
 add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices', 'vvd_add_notice_before_topic_form' );

You can add that code either in the functions.php file in child theme or in small custom plugin.

Hi there,

I am currently using the below versions of WordPress and BBPress:
BBPress version 2.5.12
Image Upload for BBPress Plugin version 1.1.14
WP version 4.8.1

My website is myfertilityfocus.com (the forum is for members only).

When I originally installed the ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ plugin, there was an option for setting the dimensions of the image that was being uploaded to a post. Now this seems to have disappeared. If a member wants to post an image, there is no way for them to set the dimensions. Do you know what has happened here? Images are ending up way too big on members’ posts!

This can be your theme issue used on your site so to confirm it just temporary use the any default WordPress theme like Twenty Seventeen theme on your site. If everything works fine then it’s theme issue.

If you are logged in as Administrator and there are private/hidden forums, on the forums page there are listed all available post statuses in wordpress even if there are no posts.

This is caused by the filter ‘bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility’.

IT checks for

$_REQUEST['post_status'])

but initial this variable is not set.

Please fix that. I made a temporary fix including condition

( isset( $_REQUEST['post_status']) || current_user_can( 'administrator') )

[Vinod Dalvi]

I have tested it on my test site and it’s working fine for me using latest version of bbPress plugin.

Please make sure you are using latest version of bbPress plugin.

This can be your theme issue on your site so to confirm it just temporary use any default WordPress theme like Twenty Seventeen theme. If everything works fine then it’s your theme issue.

Also this can be due to plugin conflict on your site so please try temporary deactivating all plugins except Unyson plugin and see whether everything works fine and then enable the plugins one by one to see which plugin is conflicting if any.

Could you please share me your site URL where it’s happening so that i can troubleshoot it?

I’ve just started my forum on WP. And made two forums with 1 or 2 topics/posts.

When I tried to search any word (which I know is there in the topics/forums) in ‘Forums Search’ widget, what I get is my latest WP blog post. Doesn’t matter whether that blog post has that ‘searched word’ in it or not.

Can anybody tell what’s going on here?

P.S. My wordpress search is going as it should.

It’s hard to help you without accessing your site but please try using below CSS code on your site as described here http://freewptp.com/how-to-use-custom-css-in-wordpress-site/ to reduce spacing.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-info .bbp-forum-content {
    margin: 0 !important;
}

[Vinod Dalvi]

Please make sure you have uploaded files to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ of your WordPress installation. If the /wp-content/languages/ and /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ folders do not exist, create them.

Also please rename each file of the files to bbpress-language_COUNTRY.extension

eg. bbpress-plugin-pt-br.po to bbpress-pt_BR.po
and bbpress-plugin-pt-br.mo to bbpress-pt_BR.mo.
Note: Ensure you use the – and _ in the correct place per the above example.

I have the newest version of bbpress, and wp-content > languages there are bbpress-2.4.x-da.po and mo.

[Vinod Dalvi]

You can just hide it using below custom CSS code on your site as described here http://freewptp.com/how-to-use-custom-css-in-wordpress-site/

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form label[for="bbp_anonymous_website"],
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form #bbp_anonymous_website {
    display:none;
}

Or you can overwrite following bbPress template file in your child theme and remove website field code from it.

/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

It seems you are getting 500 Internal Server Error so please try fixing it as described on the following page.

Well we’re all waiting for breaking news for bbPress release or rc4 but online timesheets it is not. And seeing as user onlinetimesheets’ system is built on Microsoft ASP.Net 4 it seems unlikely to make much use of bbPress..

Now, could we get the bbPress on wordpress.org to add the Plugin name (Forum title) to the email alerts? It’s tiring getting all the alerts with no context about which plugin they refer to.

Something like this should do it:

function add_the_plugin_name_please( $message, $reply_id, $topic_id ){
  $topic_title  = strip_tags( bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id ) );
  $forum_title = bbp_get_topic_forum_title($topic_id);

  $messageheader = sprintf( __( 'New post in Forum "%1$s", Topic "%2$s".', 'wordpress-org' ),
    $forum_title,
    $topic_title
  );
  $messagefooter .= "\r\n" . "\r\n" . __('Thankyou for participating on wordpress.org', 'wordpress-org' );
    
  return $messageheader . "\r\n" . "\r\n" . $message . "\r\n" . $messagefooter;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_subscription_mail_message', 'add_the_plugin_name_please', 10, 3);

Hello. My new site is not up yet, so I cannot give a link, however, what I would like to know is that on the main page of the bbpress forum, the category name and description for all the forum, has too much space in between them. I would like to reduce the spacing in between all category names/description. How to do this?

When you look at the screenshot of the website page in particular, you will notice the spacing is large between New and Updates and the description and also between the other categories and their description. I want to be able to see more categories on the page and compact the line spacing. Thank you.

Wordpress version – 4.8.1
bbpress version – 2.5.13

I am using the latest version of WordPress and BBPress and Divi theme with the Membership works plugin.
When you click on a topic the “feed” goes out of the theme and there is no way to reply. I have turned off most plugins to see if that was the conflict.

I have also tried bbpress on a different divi themed site and it worked right away.

Thanks

Hello,
I am using the newest versions of both wordpress and bbpress. My website is forum.campexpo365.com. My question is, how do I add a menu to my site that appears on every page of my forum. I want the menu have options to take you back to the home page, contact page, about page, and to link to the main site page which is in a different location (campexpo365.com).

WP version: 4.8.1

(I broke the links and removed the https:// because the previous posts I made where all the links worked were never approved by mods and stayed in limbo, just take out the space before .com and they’ll work)

I am moving my current guild forums from PHPbb to buddypress/bbpress in wordpress.
There is one thing I can’t seem to find, and ive been looking around everywhere and it seems im not the only one looking.
bbpress .org/forums/topic/looking-for-an-application-plugin

Here is what im looking for, user registers and then applys for a specific group by going to a page with the php form and on submission the post is made in a specified forum.

So lets say there is a page with links to the groups pages and on each page is a application to join that group because the cosplayers have different questions than car guys or wow players. User fills out the app and when they submit it creates a new thread in that groups recruitment forum.

Here is the addon that I use with phpbb
phpbb .com/customise/db/extension/application_form

Here are some screenshots of it in its current use

Front end application

Then it creates a new post with New Application from %username

Then in the output view it has it in its own post

Has anyone seen ANYTHING from bbpress or buddy press that can do this? I have been looking and as mentioned I can’t find a solution anywhere. Closest I found was an option in gravity forms to send to trello or via email but that doesn’t make a new thread in a pre determined forum where community members can access and respond to it. I’m bootstrapping this myself if anyone knows a place that contracts this stuff out. I don’t have a lot of money, but the guild is dying and i dont know what else I can do.

Thank you for any information you may have available,
InTempest

ok, you have two choices

either use the default wordpress lost password and register

http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=register

obviously changing the ‘mysite.com’ to your sites name

or create pages within your site and use the bbpress shortcodes
and then reference the page url

eg create a page called ‘password’ and have it’s permalink as say ‘password’ and put
[bbp-login] as the page content (you can precede this with any text you like, or have text after) eg

Lost you password?- enter your email and we'll send a new one straight to you
[bbp-login]

Then in the widget you would put

http://mysite.com/password/

you can do the same with [bbp-register] to display the register screen.

[Robin W]

can you check what versions of php each is using.

If you can’t immediately tell from your host details, this plugin will add it to the dashboard
