bbpress has separate roles, so if for the wordpress roles you set the user to ‘no role for this site’ and for bbpress you set as say ‘participant’ then it should work, but you will need to test as I don’t know your site’s exact configuration

GD Topic Polls is a plugin for WordPress and bbPress, and it works with bbPress topics. Users can create polls for new topics, or add a poll to existing topics. Each topic can have one poll.

More information and download is available on WordPress.org:

GD Topic Polls

Pro version of the plugin is available on Dev4Press:

Is the following feature available in 2.6?

Blog Forum Cross-posting Feature, where the comments on particular blog post will also be posted as Forum Replies.

I am aware of this plugin BBPress Topics for Posts :

The problem with this plugin is it won’t allow further comments to be posted. It replaces the comments section with a link to discussion where all the comments are moved to the forum.

I want the comments to be enabled so a user with no time can just leave a comment and go.

I read this feature is going to be part of core BBPress 2.6. Could somebody confirm on this?

Hello,

if i start using bbPress i cannot acces to any Profile-site, not even the bbPress-profile site. I already tried to deactivate all plugins, but still the same: this page doesnt seem to exist. if i try to acces my ‘Ultimate Member’ profile site it gave me an redirection loop. I already tried another theme if bbPress would work with that, but no, still same (i used a standard theme of WordPress)
-was usein wordpress 4.8
-with WordPress 4.7 still same

1.

I’m wanting to move the Edit/Move/Split/Post bar down

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

then around line 29

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_admin_links' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links' ); ?>

this is the bit you are wanting to move.

2.

Is there a way to have the join date underneath their photo beside the post?

yes it can be done, but would need some coding.

Same template, around line 57 you’ll find

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' ); ?>

That’s where you want to add the join date, either as a hook to the action above, or as additional code.

I suspect you’ll want to pick up the date from the wp_posts table user_registered field.

using bbp_get_reply_author_id() should get you the user, and

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata

should give you how to use it, with say

<?php $user_info = get_userdata(bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
      $registered = $user_info->user_registered;
      echo $registered?>

probably being close to what you want, but you’ll probably need to do some date stuff to display how you want

https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ref_date.asp but possibly a strtotime() function

Hopefully that’s enough to get you somewhere !!

– WordPress Version: 4.8
– bbPress Version: 2.5.13
– Forum URL: HotRodForums.net

– I’m wanting to move the Edit/Move/Split/Post bar down below the content of the post, and was wondering what theme template I would need to modify for that.

– Is there a way to have the join date underneath their photo beside the post? We’re wanting to move the post date over to the main box, and have the author’s join date where that was.

I know you all don’t do custom work, so we’re just looking into being pointed in the right direction.

Thank you for your time!

Hello,

Recently, I started using bbPress and it’s been fantastic so far. One of the things I’ve been trying to complete was an announcement/important information forum. I want to let users read the topics and comment, but not post anything on this specific forum. I have other forums where I want the users to have access to posting topics.
I’m not sure if this is possible or if it was brought up in the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My best,
Matt

Hello, I currently using SMF on my forum site. I have no idea how to connect my SMF to my WordPress blog, as the forum is part of the blog, which is installed under its subdomain. Please, help me give an idea how to convert SMF to bbpress!

[TrustedOrb]

Sorry, the problem is solved after installing bbPress 2.6 beta 2 from https://bbpress.org/download/. I was on bbPress 2.5.13, WordPress 4.8, PHP 7.x

[TrustedOrb]

Set up WordPress on my Windows PC. When I click on “Forums”, I get the error
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\forums\functions.php:1800 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query)) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-query.php(1683): do_action_ref_array('pre_get_posts', Array) #4 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-query.php(3248): WP_Query->get_posts() #5 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp.php(617): WP_Query->query(Array) #6 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp.php(735): WP->query_posts() #7 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\functions.php(955): WP->main(Array) #8 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\post.php(1072): wp(Array) #9 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includ in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\forums\functions.php on line 1800
New forums can be created without any errors, but when I click on the URL of the new forum, I get the same error again.

Hi all,

I am aware of this plugin BBPress Topics for Posts : “https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/”.

It creates wordpress posts as topics in BBPress Forum and also posts all the comments of that post as replies to the same topic created in the Forum.

The problem with this plugin is it replaces the comments in the WP post with a link to the forum topic for further discussion and one cannot comment further.

Along with the link for discussion, I want the comments to be enabled so a user with no time can just leave a comment and go.

I read this feature is going to be part of core BBPress 2.6. Could somebody confirm on this?

Any solutions availabe also, I am ready to pay.

Regards
Gana

fairly major bit of work.

If you were talking about participants, my private groups plugin has the ability to restrict users down to just posting topics, so you could set up a forum where only topics can be posted.

Private groups

But making this a visitor only is an entirely different ballgame.

[Shmoo]

Well, if you’re not afraid to dive into the template files you could walk though them and comment-out the parts where the replies get included.

I this part for example.

But when you start doing this you need to understand how to override bbPress template files by copying them over to your own WordPress theme directory. You can find more about that in the codex.

It’s just walking through paths and following the hierarchy.

OF course, back-up and always test this first locally. Never do stuff like this straight on live websites.

[Robin W]

Not sure where it is set in your theme, I see the resultant output in a browser inspector.

If you theme has a custom css area, then put the above in there and play with the settings

If you don’t then there are several custom css plugins (google) or my style pack plugin has a custom css tab

bbp style pack

you may need to put !important after a setting to get it to take eg

img {
height: 28px;
min-width: 0;
width: 100px !important;
}

Hi
Is it possible to limit the WordPress plugin bbpress to a single forum? I want to only have a single forum on my site, where users can create new topics within that forum. I’d like to remove the Forum List page entirely as well.

I’ve tried putting the shortcode from this post (Restricting bbpress to a single forum) on my individual forum page, but that didn’t seem to work…

Please let me know your thoughts!

[mwheelermindbox]

I am using WordPress 4.8 multisite and noticed a bug in bbPress 2.5.12 and 2.5.13 (possibly older versions as well) with PHP 7.1.6.

Lines 1798-1805 of includes/forum/functions.php is

// Default to public status
if (empty( $post_stati ) ) {
	$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

// Split the status string
} elseif ( is_string( $post_stati ) ) {
	$post_stati = explode( ',', $post_stati );
}

For me $post_stati looks to be an empty string so the if is evaluating to true and the next line is failing with this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /srv/www/tilth.org/current/web/app/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on line 1800

Changing line 1799 to:

if (is_array( $post_stati) && empty( $post_stati ) ) {

looks to fix the error.

Perhaps adding a line inside the conditional of

$post_stati = array();

is a better fix.

[Rixter]

Thanks for that Robin!
I love plugins, they make WordPress very rich. But sometimes they interfere with other plugins. So I always try to search for a functionality or easy solution before installing an extra plugin. But I will have a look!

Is there a way to do this inside bbPress? Or in the ‘reaction’ settings or somewhere else?

[Milan Petrovic]

bbPress should focus on performance, not features, it has to be flexible to expand and customise, and team working on it needs to be able to maintain the core, not solving theme issues for all possible forum features. It is the same as with WordPress, core features extended by the plugins.

A lot of forums users need basic features, and they find bbPress easy to setup and use. And, there are a lot of other features added through plugins to extended the bbPress, and users can choose what to install and use.

If you need more forum features, I can recommend my Toolbox plugin for bbPress: https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/ and few more bbPress plugins you can find on my website.

Regards,
Milan

[Robin W]

my style pack plugin has this feature, along with loads more.

[TrustedOrb]

Are there any limits on the number of sign ups in forums? Does WordPress limit that either?
