The WP Codex is a great starting point for learning how to do things like register a custom taxonomy … it comes to mind you might also want to explore plugins like Posts 2 Posts (which would offer an alternative way to go about this task).

[Robin W]

bbpress uses wordpress structure which works on a hierarchy, so a topic/post has a forum/post parent.

Would take a lot of customisation to make bbpress work differently to that – loads of functions would need total re-write.

Off-hand I can’t see how this would be achieved.

@Thomas_Camaran first do this fix then do the upgrade

When I search my Forum I get a 502 error: the page request was canceled because it took too long to complete.

At first I thought it was only when you tried to search multiple words. But then it did work when I tried “crash cart” and “cell phone” and it did not work when I tried “annual” or “history”. So it seems very inconsistent.

bbPress version:2.5.11

Also please note that that ticket bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2685 that is referenced is fixed in version 2.6 of bbPress. So for the next version you will no longer need this.

Hello, I am having great difficulty getting any widgets to appear in my Forums sidebar. I believe now that it relates to the page I have bbPress running on. After initially installing bbPress I later added a new page and added [bbp-forum-index] as directed to do in the documentation. However, when I’ve tried to use the Forums page id to exclude the Forums link from automatically appearing in the footer it did not work. Also I had to use (.bbpress) in my css to style the header of the page as .page-id- was not working.
My issue still occurs when tested using Twenty Seventeen.

Just had a very long talk with Godaddy. Registration emails are simply not being generated. Other emails work. Registration emails do not. May have to re-install WordPress.

[senatorman]

i’ve remove my 2.6 aplha and instal 2.6 beta 1 after the fix on an testforum with 120 forums and 500 posts

the install runs fast (few seconds) it looks like there is no converting in the database to convert usermeta to postmeta. There is no big performancechange

i had understand that beta 1 is an good performance update. And makes Bbpress faster for big forums. Am i right?

[climbingturtle]

1. I’ve confirmed this is a wider issue with ALL wordpress registrations. It is not a BBpress issue.

IF SOMEONE ELSE is having trouble with registration emails, you should test general WordPress user registrations:

– make sure “Anyone can register” is checked in Settings/General
– go to yourwebsite.com/wp-admin
– click register
– see if you get the registration email.

2. There’s a discussion from three months ago (~October 2016) about Godaddy blocking WordPress registration emails b/c they think they are spam. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/godaddy-internet-community-ib212-filtering-wordpress-registration-emails-as-spam/

3. There’s a nifty plug-in to check email from your site called “Check Email”. I’m able to get emails sent from this plug in. So it seems likely that I may also be a victim of registration emails being blocked as spam.

I will post more results as I get them.

[Robin W]

not my area of expertise, but this plugin seems to offer this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/multiple-domain/

otherwise as this is more of a wordpress thing, suggest you try their support forums

[Robin W]

Quick one on your NOTE: Yes that was a previous version of the plugin that no longer exists.

user creation is a wordpress thing – bbpress is not involved. It only allocates the default role on first login.

Would be worth you googling ‘wordpress register email not working’, but it can be a host thing, and is worth talking to your host provider about.

[Robin W]

There is this plugin which might solve both, I haven’t used it so can’t say

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-auto-close-topics/

Really having a hard time with Registration emails. I’ve spent most of the weekend getting nowhere.

WordPress 4.7.1
bbPress 2.5.12
Theme bbPress (Twenty Ten)Version: 1.4.1

Emails are working from the same wordpress installation. I have the “Check Email” plug-in installed, and use to confirm that emails are working fine.

When a user registers, the user is created, but the email never seems to get out.

Any help or troubleshooting advice is sincerely appreciated. Thanks!

NOTE: A topic by this name seems to exist (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registration-email-not-being-sent-new-issue/page/2/), but it’s over a year old, seems to deal with people whose servers are blocking email, and makes references to files that no longer exist in the plugin (bb-includes/pluggable.php).

[Barry]

I’m sure you could do that pretty easily.

If a call to bbp_insert_topic() is successful it returns the post ID of the newly created topic. You can in turn pass that to get_permalink() which will provide you with the URL.

get_permalink()

I went to use a plugin FG Joomla to WordPress with the Kunena plugin addon to import all my Joomla users into WordPress, plus the Kunena forum posts (3000+). Most went fine but I noticed that my admin user on the Joomla site was turned into Anonymous with no link to a profile. All my post replies are now done by Anonymous.

Is there a way to change this Anonymous to my admin user and be linked to the profile? I went to look in the database, but I do not see where bbpress posts and post user names are.

Hi,

I’m working on WP 4.7.1 and BBPress Version 2.5.12. I would like to allow Participants to Trash there own Topics and Posts. I found the following code here in the Forum and added it to my functions.php. When i register as Participant and create a new Topic I have only EDIT / REPLY available, but not TRASH.

Can someone help me with this, or has a other code snippet what is working?

Right, thanks, this is a BuddyPress issue and not bbPress.

That said, you need to create pages for each of those BuddyPress menu items

If you go to your BuddyPress settings page e.g https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-page-settings it should show what pages are and are not associtaed with the BuddyPress components you activated.

For each one missing a page, go create a new WordPress page for each then return and associate each page with the BuddyPress component and hit save 🙂

[Barry]

This is great news!

Unfortunately I did pretty much hit a fatal error straight away (I reported it and added a patch here – hopefully that was the right place/course of action) though I believe that will only impact those who test this out in a site that was already running bbPress, vs a clean installation.

[Stephen Edgar]

Per the announcement post:

If you’re going to test 2.6 on a live site, maybe don’t just yet. It runs a database upgrade routine to migrate favorites & subscriptions from usermeta to postmeta, and for large forums that may take a while or possibly lock things up for a bit.

So I’d suggest waiting until we hit beta 2, by then we should be able to better analyse how the upgrade routing has worked for some larger sites, mainly wordpress.org.

[Stephen Edgar]

I hope you saw that we released bbPress 2.6 beta last night 🙂

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-beta-1/

There are significant performance increases with 2.6, wordpress.org/support is now running 2.6 alpha, we’ll update it shortly to 2.6 beta.

We’ve got further performance enhancements to come, one that I think you may be running into is the time it takes to post a reply, one change that was merged last night and is now being used here on bbPress.org significantly imporoves that time for adding new replies, another in the works for the same issue is to optimize how subscribers are notified of a new reply in a topic, currently most of that wait period you’re experiencing I would think is coming from topics that have high number of subscribers.

Anyway, I hope this is better news for you 🙂

p.s. WordPress dot org support has ~2.5 million topics and 6 million replies

[Robin W]

can be done

try

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

or contact me via my website

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[Robin W]

This would need some bespoke coding

you could try

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

or contact me via

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[Robin W]

whilst in the forums list a sub private forum will not show, if the sub forum is set to public, then searches would show as the forum it belongs to is private.

So set every forum that you wish to be private to Private

If you don’t want the word private to appear – and I hate it showing! – then you can add this to your functions file

add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}

or add my plugin which has this and many other features

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

and set this to hide in
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum display item 4

[Robin W]

The reply form has an element which says

Notify me of follow-up replies via email

By default this is unticked, so unless you tick it, you are unsubscribed from the topic.

So remembering to tick it makes sure you stay subscribed.

You can change this default to make it ticked by default by using

Reply Subscribed

or using my style pack plugin which has lots of other extras

Hey everyone! Guess what?

bbPress 2.6, Release Candidate 3, is now available for testing.

Download it from here: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6-rc-3.zip

Why is this cool? For starters, @jeffr0 may finally climb down off my back and stop giving me grief for how long it’s been since we shipped a major release.

bbPress 2.5.0 in 2014, 3 years ago.

Most people wouldn’t be proud to say that, but… I am. The 2.5 branch of bbPress has been so stable & well received, we were able to take our time with 2.6 and double-down on upstream improvements to WordPress.

bbPress 2.6 will come with:

* Per-forum moderators
* Improved favorites & subscriptions management
* Improved BuddyPress integration
* Performance improvements across the board
* UX improvements to meta-boxes and admin-area tools
* Tighter integration with WordPress’s Dashboard
* Template tweaks & clean-up
* About 110 other things

If you’re going to test 2.6 on a live site, maybe don’t just yet. It runs a database upgrade routine to migrate favorites & subscriptions from usermeta to postmeta, and for large forums that may take a while or possibly lock things up for a bit.

We are already running 2.6 here and on bbPress.org, so enjoy the speedier new posting experience, and we’ll let you know when the next beta is ready!
