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.

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/

[forums1234]

Is it possible to customize the menu in forum and topic pages to delete the breadcrumbs altogether and only have a “Back” button option?

Unfortunately I haven’t found a solution.
I still think that due to

Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.

the converter should have saved the database information to read phpbb_users somewhere but it hasn’t, that’s way I’m getting the “Error establishing a database connection”.
Which I think is somehow related to
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1886

At this point I will ask my users to reset their password.
During my tests, I have also discovered that even if you reset your password, you are still getting the “Error establishing a database connection” error for migrated user and to “skip” it, you have to rename/delete the table “wp_bbp_converter_translator”.

Hi,

I tried the plugin “SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam” (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/), but it is not working for me.

I have configured the plugin for add new topic and add new reply forms. Captcha appears, but even after entering correct captcha, it is showing an error message “ERROR: Unreadable CAPTCHA token file”.

Can anybody help?

Thanks a lot,was looking for -php7.1 fix
when is the final release?
how to auto update on WordPress

[shieatt]

I’ve been digging a lot and trying all kinds of different things but really have no idea how to get my site working again.

For whatever reason – every time I try and login to the standard Admin dashboard at “restomod101.com/test/wp-admin” for WordPress I get redirected to “restomod101.com/test/forum-registration/” which leads me to think its a redirect issue with bbpress but I could be wrong.

Whereas “restomod101.com/test/wp-login” takes me to a 404 error page.

What makes this all the more odd is the homepage seems to work fine EXCEPT when I click on any link, it resolves to a 404 page.

I’ve tried turning all the plugins off by renaming my plugins folder, I’ve tried my main themes folder but that takes me to a blank page.

What exactly has gone wrong?

Page is: restomod101.com/test/

Just trying to access the standard admin dashboard, I’ve put so much work into this site to lose it now!! Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Another solution for those interested. This makes use of the “Shortcodes in Menus” plugin to easily place the bbpress “View Profile” and “Edit Profile” links in your WordPress nav menus. Instructions:

1 – Install the free plugin “Shortcodes in Menus”
2 – Place the following code in your theme’s functions.php file:

function menu_profile_link() { 
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		$profile_menu_item = '<li><a href="' . home_url('forums/users/') . $current_user->user_nicename . '">View Profile</a></li>';
		return $profile_menu_item;
}
add_shortcode('bbp-profile', 'menu_profile_link');

function menu_edit_profile_link() { 
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		$profile_menu_item = '<li><a href="' . home_url('forums/users/') . $current_user->user_nicename . '/edit">Edit Profile</a></li>';
		return $profile_menu_item;
}
add_shortcode('bbp-edit-profile', 'menu_edit_profile_link');

3 – In WordPress go to your Menus and go to the new Shortcodes panel. Type in “View Profile” as the title and underneath that type in [bbp-profile] to place the profile link in your menu. Click “Add to Menu”. Repeat this process using the shortcode [bbp-edit-profile] to add the “Edit Profile” link.

4 – I’d also recommend the free plug-in “Nav Menu Roles” to restrict your menu items to logged in or logged out users.

Hope this is useful!

Hello,

I have a plugin that is used to index search results in to Amazon CloudSearch. I’ve written the below code to exclude private forums from search results. Now I need some code to automatically exclude all topics inside a private forum.

function exclude_private_forums_search() {
	$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
	if (get_post_status($forum_id) == 'private') {
		add_post_meta($forum_id, 'acs_exclude', 1, true );
	} else {
		delete_post_meta($forum_id, 'acs_exclude');
	}
}
add_action('bbp_new_forum', 'exclude_private_forums_search' );
add_action('bbp_edit_forum', 'exclude_private_forums_search' );

Is there anyway I can get a list of topic IDs inside a forum ID?

Running latest version of bbPress and WordPress.

Thanks.

Hello,

Is there a way to remove the wordpress dashboard for participants/subscribers? Right now the participant/subscriber can see plugins that need to be updated for example and other information like Maintenance and Security Releases.

Thank you,

Hi
Newbie would be grateful for some help …..

WordPress 4.7.4 – bbPress 2.5.12
https://bijouxbutterflies.co.uk/forums/

Using the “Creating Content” guide I created my first forum and topic with no problems.
I then created a second forum (latest news) with one topic (trade mark registered).
Although both forums and both topics show in wp-admin, when I visit the website only the first forum shows.
What do I have to change to get both forums listed?
Thanks
