Heya!

I have a few questions about bbpress, i’m new to it and would like to learn a thing or two aswell!

– Currently when in a Forum, you have this gigantic “Create new topic” box at the bottom of the page. Can i remove this and instead create a button that (on another page) displays the create new topic customizer?

– Currently at the Freshness it only shows the username, but not the topic it has created (name), where can i add this, if possible?

– Currently the message edit is quite basic, you can put your text in italics, bold and other stuff. Is there an option to also enable underlining, font size, font group and text color?

– I’d like to have a ranking system, not based on the amount of posts, but ranks in general, that shows under your name, like Owner, Admin, Moderator, Member and Guest. Is this possible?

Kind regards!

ok think you need to do some testing.

suggest you start by seeing if the issue only occurs with bbpress login widget, or with a standard worpdress login – they are effectively the same as bbpress merely uses a wordpress login, so you shopukld see the error with both, but worth checking

if both create the issue, then follow the instructions in the https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/ thread on troubleshooting and then come back

This is very old thread, but I just want to clarify something, as this keeps showing up in Google searches for this topic.

Technically WordPress could work out the post-type; it already does this in the case of posts and pages using the same URL structure. It is however faster if it knows the post-type in advance, hence bbPress prefers to use those slugs by default.

There is also a secondary problem, which is probably why there isn’t even a common hack to work around this problem, in that if you allow people to create topics and replies at the root level, there could easily be clashes between slugs. This isn’t such a big problem with posts and pages, as usually it’s only the blog admin/editor creating the posts, but in the case of a forum it would be very easy for a member of the public to inadvertently create a clashing slug. You could also ensure that forum posts didn’t clash with existing content in other post-types, but forum users could use page slugs which the admins may want to use for other posts in future. Basically, things get messy.

Having said all that, this should in theory be possible I think (I haven’t tried to figure out how yet, I’m just searching around to find an existing solution), there would just be a few potential drawbacks. If anyone knows how to do this, please post the solution for the rest of us to see 🙂

I’ve noticed recently that when users login to the website, they are getting an error message.

ERROR: The password you entered for the username xxxxxx is incorrect.

But if you enter your information a second time into the login fields and submit, the login works fine. I can’t seem to figure out why the initial login fails, but the second attempt works. The login area is using the (bbPress) Login Widget. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?

I’m running bbPress Version 2.5.12, WordPress Version 4.7.5.

Hi support team,

I was trying to use your translatetion instructions but unfortunately it has not worked on my case.

1. I downloaded files mo./po. (Go to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress)
2. renamed them accordingly “bbpress-de_DE”
3. uploaded to my server folder “wp-content/languages/buddypress”

But still are not working. Any ideas?

Looking forward to your help.

simplest way is to install my style pack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>breadcrumbs

disable breadcrumb home, breadcrumb Root, and breadcrumb current

This just leaves the ‘previous’ showing

then put this into the custom css tab of my plugin

.bbp-breadcrumb-forum::before {

content: "Back to ";

}

The breadcrumb will then become ‘back to xx’ with xx being whatever they came from

[forums1234]

Wordpress 4.7.5
bbpress 2.5.12

Out of respect to your time, I took a week to write this as carefully and succinctly as possible.

Is there a way to replace the breadcrumbs menu with a “Previous Viewed Page” option (it could be called anything, like “Back”)? That way, instead of members navigating around inside the forum, they would return from a topic to the web page that hosts the forum, e.g, far more advertising revenue possibilities.

As it works now:
Step one: https://sterlingforums.com/white-glove-service-forum/

Step two: Select a topic

Step three: navigate to /forums/forum/white-glove-forum/

Step four: select another topic from inside /forums/forum/white-glove-forum/

As it would work:
Step one: Select topic from inside .com/white-glove-service-forum/

Step two: Select the “Previous Page” from inside /forums/forum/white-glove-forum/all-about-our-cover-art/

Step three: Return to .com/white-glove-service-forum/

I didn’t want to leave 6 links! Finger’s Crossed! And, thank you.

I’d suggest you use my private groups plugin to restrict access to the forums, and Pascal’s toolkit to auto subscribe users to the forums

Hi,
After making an import of data from phpBB 3.2 to bbPress 2.6beta2,
impossible to connect one of the users formerly present in phpBB.
The following errors are immediately displayed when attempting to connect:

Notice: Undefined index: _bbp_converter_rows in …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php on line 753

Can someone help me figure out what’s going on? Thanks.

WP: 4.7.5
bbPress: 2.6beta2
phpBB: 3.2

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.

[Robin W]

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.

[Robin W]

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

Private groups

[davebevan]

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!

[Robin W]

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

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:
