I am using bbpress forum plugins for my wordpress websites. so i just wanted to know how i can display all related post underneath the topic just like similar to word press blog post comment & reply. So you don’t have to click to another page to view the posts.

Hello

I installed bbPress on my website and added login sidebar to my forum page. It got working after some struggle. Then I had to create child theme for Twenty Sixteen theme. After that bbPress login sidebar moved to bottom of forum page. Can you give me some instructions how to get sidebar back to side of the page? Thanks!

I’m currently using WordPress 4.7.3 with Twenty Sixteen theme and bbPress 2.5.12.
My website is not yet public.

Hi

Bit of a beginner here so forgive me if I’m asking something which should be obvious!

I have installed BBpress on my wordpress site but when I click on the forums tab on the wordpress dashboard it seems the link is broken. It takes me to a “HTTP 500 error” default screen. I can click on “New forum” but not “All forums”. Similarly when you click on any of the forum links on the homepage, even those links appear broken as you don’t land on that forum. Even then, I get the same HTTP error. Any ideas?

Is there a way to add a list of topics users are subscribed to on a page so they can manage it?

I created a custom profile editor so they don’t go into the wordpress backend when users click on their forum gravatar seemed to be default on my installation. Or is there a front end profile editor I can use like in this forum (I can’t seem to find a plugin or anything for it)

I’m working an educational website that produces video content and uses a BBPress forum for discussion rather than the native WordPress comments. Here’s how it works:

I have a hook on wp_insert_post that creates a new BBPress topic when a new video post is created and saves this new topic_id to a _comment_topic_id meta field.

In my single-video.php template where the video is displayed, I’m using the BBPress [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] shortcode to display the topic thread and reply form for people to post comments.

All of this works great! I’m just having one problem – the “subscribe” feature of BBPress isn’t working when people post replies via the Video Single page. The reply is posted just fine, but subscribed users don’t receive a notification. If you’re not familiar – when a user subscribes to a thread, they receive an email whenever someone replies to the thread. This is still working fine when someone posts a reply via the actual Thread single page – it’s only a problem on the thread embedded via the shortcode on the Video single page.

I’ve tried digging into the core and I got so far as to discover that the bbp_new_reply action isn’t firing – BBPress uses a function called bbp_notify_topic_subscribers hooked into bbp_new_reply to send the notifications and that function isn’t running at all when a reply is made via the Video single page.

It seems that BBPress uses some hidden inputs to determine what actions to run after a reply has been submitted, but those seem to be included properly through the shortcode. These appear at the bottom of the Topic single form (that works properly);

    <input type="hidden" name="bbp_topic_id" id="bbp_topic_id" value="422573">
    <input type="hidden" name="bbp_reply_to" id="bbp_reply_to" value="0">
    <input type="hidden" name="action" id="bbp_post_action" value="bbp-new-reply">
    <input type="hidden" id="_wpnonce" name="_wpnonce" value="83ea236cd1">
    <input type="hidden" name="_wp_http_referer" value="/forums/topic/SLUG/">

And these appear at the bottom of the Video single form (that doesn’t)

    <input type="hidden" name="bbp_topic_id" id="bbp_topic_id" value="422573">
    <input type="hidden" name="bbp_reply_to" id="bbp_reply_to" value="0">
    <input type="hidden" name="action" id="bbp_post_action" value="bbp-new-reply">
    <input type="hidden" id="_wpnonce" name="_wpnonce" value="83ea236cd1">
    <input type="hidden" name="_wp_http_referer" value="/videos/SLUG/">

I’m at a loss for how to debug this issue further and could really use some help. BBPress has all kinds of page type/post type checks in the core that I’ve been ducking and weaving around, but this one has got me stumped. I suspect the problem is that SOMEWHERE it’s checking the post type of the current post, seeing it’s a video instead of a topic and bailing before the action runs, but I have no idea how or where to find that and how to patch around it.

Thanks!

Hello,

Sorry if I am bumping this old thread, but there’s already a thread open for this over wporg support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-have-shortcode-can-use-this-in-wordpress-sidebar-as-form/. I left you a reply from there.

This is a clean install

Wordpress 4.7.3 – BBPress 2.5.12 – Buddypress 2.8.1

I have installed with Twentyseventeen theme and with BeTheme. Everything works fine except I have an problem and was hoping someone could help point me in the right direction to resolve an issue with the breadcrumbs.

When I am viewing the forums here is the breadcrumb string:

Home > Forums > “Forum name” > “Topic name”

That is exactly what I want. However, when I am viewing Buddypress pages, the breadcrumbs are:

Home > Forums > “Username”

I would prefer the breadcrumbs to be as follows:

Home > Members > “Username” when someone is viewing Buddypress pages.

Does anyone know how to achieve this????

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmm, maybe I’m working with two wordpress installations.

[Robin W]

because bbpress uses the wordpress login, you can’t have two logins on the same domain.

So your best bet would be to say to people

use the ‘world’ login for everyone, but individuals swap to an individual login and only use that once they have been given an individual that is all they use.

[Robin W]

you could use my private groups plugin.

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

you would create two groups

1. called say all
2. called say individuals

you can then put all the forums as members of the individual group, but no forums would have the world group.

Then all individual users would be added to the individuals group.

Then anyone logging in with the world username would not see any forums, but when logging in as individuals they would see the forums.

I have an WordPress site where we have one login for many visitors, because not everyone should see the content.
Inside this WordPress installation is also bbpress installation. There we want to have each user separetly logged in with his own username. Because many users will login in the WordPress site, but only a few will use the forum we choosed this way.
Is it possible to get a separate login for bbpress when already logged in WordPress?

Thanks all for your help

I want to convert my bbpress forum to wordpress type posts. There are older posts about plugins for this but seems like they are not working now.

So… I tried exporting the topics and (separately the) replies using the xml exporter. I did a search and replace on the whole file for types [topics] _topics_ and replaced with [post] and _post_
(well I think they were the replacements as afterwards I tried several others for the replies).

Anyway, this worked when importing the topics as posts into wordpress – I was very happy with that. Then I though it would be great if I could also get the topic replies converted to post comments. I tried several replacement tags (changing reply to comment, comments …) but the only one to get imported was changing [reply] to [post].
It imported but did not add as a thread of comments but each one as a new post “RE: Topic title”.

Is there any way I can use the export/import function to get my topics and replies over to a blog style post with comments?
Or a way of editing the xml file to import correctly and add the replies as comments to the original post?

I was almost there but fell at the last fence.

Hello,

I need 2 User Names which have the same capabilitys. I have try it with this:

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names’ );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
return array(

// Participant
bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
‘name’ => ‘Standard User’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
),

// Spectator
bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
‘name’ => ‘–>Premium User<–‘,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
)
);
}

Now I can swith between “Standard User” and “Premium User” which is perfect, but he Premium User can not write any reply or other things. So they have not the same capaboility.

Have anybody an idea where the mistake is?

Which Member Plugin works good with WordPress and bbPress? All I try were not good 🙁

[Pascal Casier]

I have added it for now into my ‘bbP Toolkit’ plugin (v1.0.8) while waiting for https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3046 to be implemented.

[Pascal Casier]

You would somewhere have to create a WordPress user, get the ID and change the post_author of all ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ in the DB to this ID.

I did a quick search but did not find a plugin for that…

Hello everyone,

Sorry but I just came to discover this thread, I am the author of bbp-messages and there’s now a major update made and it now supports Multisite, the problem that Stewart was reporting.

Also Stewart, the link wordpress/members1/http:/localhost/wordpress/members1/ pretty much seems messed up, so it’s hard to tell whether it is bbP issue or configuration. I think you did not configure your testing environment quite well and also the bbPress link looks filtered by BuddyPress. Next time I’d suggest you edit your hosts file (c:\System32\drivers\etc\hosts with admin permissions using notepad) and add a new entry 127.0.0.1 bbpress.dev now bbpress.dev will act like a normal domain and you wouldn’t run into issues while testing or migrating (all you can do is replace .dev with .tld in the db SQL file). Also add the virtual host for Apache http://stackoverflow.com/a/25203499/3910932

Thank you Arutam and Robin you’re very helpful. I just wanted to point that this thread continues in wp-org plugin support forums https://wordpress.org/support/topic/messages-upgrade/

Best,

Unfortunately I’m not on Facebook so I cannot see that conversation you had 🙁

Perhaps you could link to this topic in that conversation and have the WPseo plugin author join this conversation?

As to Yoast, I believe Yoast is compatible with bbPress, @joostdevalk wrote here last year “I’ll bump BBPress on to the list again, we’ve long had issues with that, we should just fix it”, I’ve no idea if anything was updated for bbPress or not, was it @joostdevalk ?

I myself don’t use any SEO plugins let alone any that you mention, we’re happy to work with any plugin author to help add support their plugin if we can.

I’m sure there are other bbPress users who do use various SEO plugins, maybe someone else here has some tips on using Yoast WordPress SEO, WPseo, or All in One SEO?

p.s. This topic is going to attract many a spammer, so if your reply doesn’t show up straight away that will be due to Akismet being proactive, if your reply doesn’t turn up straight away give it some time for the moderators to approve and move out of the spam queue.

Hi guys,

we’ve currently setup a forum for clients membership website. It’s a forum dedicated to their active paying members managed by memberium.

Anyways, at the time it’s setup the client is now wanting to setup a NEW redesigned membership website from scratch. So new theme, new wordpress install, same members, etc etc.

My question is, if they start their forum and have their members posting in it, can it THEN be transferred into the NEW membership website and people can continue using the forum like normal in the new website.

The new website will be built while the current one is live and will be swapped over once ready.

Thanks! 🙂

I am not sure I understand what it is you are asking

wp-query is a wordpress function

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

[yito]

In loop-replies.php, I want to change WP_Query.
But ‘bbp_repliesisbbpress()->reply_query->have_posts();` ,so I don’t know how to change some of WP_Query.

Please someone teach me how to.

Wordpress version 4.7.2
bbPress version 2.5.12

[Robin W]

This theme uses the genesis framework, so I suspect you will need to add this plugin to make it all work

bbPress Genesis Extend

[Robin W]

I want to show a description for a forum in the forums list. Is there a way to enable this with bbPress, or a plugin that does it?

use my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum display and look at 6 & 7

The forum description is put in the content of the forum dashboard>forums

My gravatar shows correct on the gravatar page, but not on my site. I have that blue G. I linked my website. How long does it take to change the gravatar on my wordpress site gwynplum.com?
