Hi there,

I’m running into an interesting issue and I’m hoping somebody can help. My client’s site is running bbPress and we have unchecked “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies” in the settings but somebody still posted to the forum anonymously. After noticing the post I logged and noticed that the topic was started by user number that is no longer active in WordPress.

Is there another setting somewhere in bbPress that would allow users to post anonymously that I’m missing?

Thanks for your help.

sorry can you confirm that

post = create topics
comment = create replies

If so then use my private groups plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

and enable group topic permissions

then you can set up membership 2 to be able to create/edit topics and replies and membership 1 only to be create/edit replies

that’s as close as I can get you without specific coding to stop membership 2 being able to reply on other topics.

That is doable but beyond free help !

Hi, i have the same error after only updating wordpress, not bbpress. Any solution to this ?
SQL is triggered in bbp_has_replies in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php but it has not changed.

[SRD75]

Found it. The new WordPress.org interface had me confused.

Found the install instructions now.

Psacal’s bbp toolkit does that

Tried your steps, but still no luck. The bbpress topics for posts allows the comment section of WordPress posts to integrate with bbpress topics. It also creates new topics of each new post published. If you know a different plugin or another method to get this to work, I’d appreciate it.

[Robin W]

use the private groups plugiun in addition to bbpress

I am trying to replace my comments on posts with bbpress topics. This plugin is working for the most part…I’m able to auto create new topics of my published posts on the forum. However, my comment box has disappeared on the posts. There is a comment button to click. But when clicked, there is nothing displayed for posting comments.

I have found out that this is a theme issue and not a plugin issue. When I change to a different theme, such as a WordPress default theme, the plugin works. However, I do not want to lose my current theme. Does anyone know if there is any css code I can add to my theme in order to make the bbpress comment box to appear on the WordPress posts.

Thank you!

Not sure it will be the solution you are after, but try the private groups plugin, which will let you set up different levels of access

thanks

The error is new since we last updated plugins (though another site manager updated them so I’m not sure what all ran updates). The error goes away when I deactivate the private groups plugin. This is what I get when I try to add a new blog post:

This page isn’t working

geekgirlpenpals.com is currently unable to handle this request.

[Robin W]

and what version of wordpress, bboress and private groups are you running?

I am a newbie with WordPress and I have been using a custom menu widget placed at the top of all of my pages to keep a consistent header going. I am now trying to use bbPress and discovered I can create a page called “Forum” and use a page builder to place my menu widget above the forum shortcode widget to achieve the header.

However, when I select a forum/topic, it goes to a different page, one that is generated by bbPress and as such, doesn’t have a page builder design of which I can place a header.

It seems like the best solution would be to implement this header into all my pages through editing some php file somewhere but that is a bit beyond my technical ability. Is there a way to add widgets to ALL bbpress pages?

[Robin W]

contributor is a wordpress role, not a bbpress one.

so if you are using the default registration

then

dashboard>settings>general and what is ‘new default user’ set to ?

dashboard>settings>forums and what is ‘auto role’ set to ?

I understand why you might want to change the permalinks to “clean” your url. However, this helps distinguish forums from topics from replys. For example somesite.com/forums/forum/some-forum or somesite.com/forums/topic/some-topic.

You can remove the “forums” part of the permalink in admin settings under forum and Forum Root Slug–Forum Prefix select off. And you can rename the slug for single forum/topic/reply under same menu and Single Forum Slugs. These built-in adjustments are usually harmless and can be changed as needed.

There are also a few bbPress/WordPress permalink plugins that might help–but they could also make things worse.

Above all, you want a clean url that both makes sense and remains functional. And I’ve found that messing around too much with permalink settings can often break more than fix.

And regarding that “Private” issue: Does it display that when you’re not logged in? That’s a curious quirk.

Hi,
I have followed this documentation page

Enable Visual Editor

to enable TinyMCE. Now I would like to change the default behavior of TinyMCE to not add a paragraph for each new line but use instead <br>.
For WordPress I have to use this

function tinymce_remove_root_block_tag( $init ) {
    $init['forced_root_block'] = false; 
    return $init;
}
add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'tinymce_remove_root_block_tag' );

But the TinyMCE in bbPress doesn’t get this setting.
I have tried to do something like

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['quicktags'] = false;
    $args['forced_root_block'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

but it doesn’t work.
How can I pass that “forced_root_block” to the TinyMCE enabled for bbPress?

Thanks

Massimo

Alphabetic Pagination is not a suitable word for this kind of requirement because we normally sort the results alphabetically. Although there is a plugin which works perfectly in this case “Alphabetic Pagination” but still i would like to correct that it’s sorting not paging.

Hi,

Just wanted to share a newly released plugin available called bbPress User Ranks and it allows you to create user ranks, star ranks, RPG ranks, user badges and month badges which display on forums and user profiles. It also has widgets and shortcodes.

You can view all the features and screenshots here:

http://pre55.com/downloads/bbpress-user-ranks/

You see the free lite version here:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-user-ranks-lite/

The plugin was created as I had been using the brilliant bbp user ranks plugin created by Robin W and although this worked great for what I initially wanted I eventually needed something a little more custom.

I have therefore built my plugin from scratch incorporating lots of great features I think will increase engagement for any bbPress forum.

Let me know what you guys think, if you have any suggestions please let me know.

[Robin W]

not quite sure what you are expecting as a reply – the guy you paid answered your question.

Basically he is telling me that we won’t be able to achieve good loading time, because it is running on WordPress and the database design is a problem.

bbpress runs on wordpress, and as wordpress is running on 74 million websites, I suspect that the database won’t be migrated away from mysql anytime soon.

[Robin W]

you are telling me that this was working, and now it is not.

If you have changed bbpress version, then revert to the previous, but I strongly suspect that this not the case.

Otherwise you have changed something, either in a theme version, a wordpress setting, a page settings, a template, a theme setting, a plugin update or something else such as a php version, a server setting etc, etc. etc.

I cannot possibly guess at what you have changed, so I cannot see how to help.

[Robin W]

seems php 7.1 has issues with a lot of plugins, 2 mentioned here

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-0-14-to-7-1-1-operator-not-supported-for-strings/

and a bbpress trac ticket

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2987

I’m running php 7.0.17 with no issues

[Robin W]

yes, install my bbp style pack plugin

bbp style pack

and go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>breadcrumbs to set breadcrumb options or disable altogether

[PrancingHorse]

Nevermind I found a plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/adminimize/
