Wordpress 4.7
bbPress 2.5.12

Hi, I want to create different sections in my forum like on this picture

I’ve tried to make categories and then add forums to it but always the result is not like I want… Do anybody know how to do that?
It is probably very easy;)

@robin-w
by the way its the bbpress style pack plugin Thanks Rob!
version 3.4

[Robin W]

bit more digging

it would appear that wordpress 4.7 takes out the filter capability

https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/2964

there is plugin that puts it back

https://github.com/WP-API/rest-filter

Otherwise I think they now want you to filter at the client end.

so http://MY_SITE.COM/wp-json/wp/v2/posts gives you all the posts, and then you pick those that are the right post type.

If you try the plugin above, then I think

http://MY_SITE.COM/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[type]=topic

does it

Please do report progress back !!

[Robin W]

The below is offered as potential help, and in an effort to help, so if it is rubbish, then please come back, and I will try to help further.

bbpress uses the standard wordpress posts, but with post types of ‘forum’, ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ instead of ‘post’ and ‘page’, and bbpress code itself basically uses wp_query to access the database.

The glossary for wordpress api says

GET /wp-json/wp/v2/posts to get a collection of Posts. This is roughly equivalent to using WP_Query.

so I’d imagine that you would just use the same sort of call, and use wp_query parameters to return what you wanted.

So if for wordpress you had a command that gave you say the latest 5 posts, then this same command would work but just changing whatever that code has for post_type=’post’ to post_type=’topic’

If you wanted topics from a particular forum, you would add the equivalent of post_parent = ID where ID was the forum ID

In essence if you can tell me what you want, I can give you the wp_query, and you could hopefully translate this into json.

Does any of that make sense? 🙂

Hi,
WP 4.7, latest BBpress. I have a multisite: swissinformatic.org, magazine.swissinformatics.org, [other stuff]swissinformatics.org. My mail server is @swissinformatics.org and the plugin picks up $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] to create the no reply address.
COULD YOU HELP US with a setting box to supersede this value?
Meanwhile I replaced it with my site name in the functions.php code, but mind the next plugin update!
$sitename = strtolower( ‘swissinformatics.org );
Always beware of “Educated guess’ I’m not going to buy a mail server for each subdomain and with the present security of providers,…
I also created a no reply alias of my administrative e-mail address.
Everything is fine now

I know nothing of rest, but there’s one for wordpress http://v2.wp-api.org/ does that help?

No it doesn’t support bbpress

[Robin W]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Hi guys, I will just say first that I do not know much about coding.

I just installed bbpress and now i have this error come up in my wordpress dashboard

Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier ‘0’ in /home2/eli/public_html/juniortactician.com/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 231

Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier ‘0’ in /home2/eli/public_html/juniortactician.com/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 232

the code on those lines are as follows:

if ( preg_match(“#^$match#”, $request_match, $matches) ||
preg_match(“#^$match#”, urldecode($request_match), $matches) ) {

what does this mean and how can I get rid of it?

Thanks in advance.

[Robin W]

the topic index shortcode in my style pack plugin might be what you need

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

go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes to see what is available and how it works

Hello,
I have used Image Upload for BBPress to upload and attach image to forum.
my problem is image is not responsive. It will just shrink its width. I tried playing with firbug and remove image attributes and set max-width to 100%.
It works… Now my problem is which file to edit and how. Im not a coder. I just learned css and have little understanding on php…

bbPress tell me error with the WordPress version (4.6.1), when I install crashes the site and view the error page. Why does this happen?

[ipf]

I am in the process of creating a bbpress forum.

How can I remove the admin toolbar and deny dashboard access to members? Is there a setting that I am missing? If not, are there any plugins that you recommend?

Is it possible to integrate wordpress, bbpress and buddypress so that a user’s profile shows
1. wordpress posts
2. wordpress comments
3. Forum topics
4. Forum replies
5. Buddypress status updates.

How can I achieve this?
Thank you.

I am having trouble importing from SimplePress to bbpress. I’m not sure what the table prefix is supposed to be. I tried wp_ and that didn’t import anything. I tried wp_sf (I think that is the beginning of tables for SimplePress but get this error

Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]
CREATE TABLE wpzu_bbp_converter_translator ( meta_id mediumint(8) unsigned not null auto_increment, value_type varchar(25) null, value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default ‘0’, meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join (meta_key(191), meta_value(191)) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;

Is there anything I can do to get this import done?

[mcshane1962]

Hi guys,
I followed the above advice, however, when I go to the import function in wordpress there is no SMF option, am I looking in the wrong place? I can see other options, blogger, twitter wordpress CSV etc, but no SMF.
Please help

[Robin W]

ok you will need my plugin

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

once installed and activated then go to

dashboard>settings>bbp private groups

and you’ll find a bunch of tabs

At a simple level, you would set up one group (say group 1) in ‘group name settings’ tab for users, and another group (say group 2) for admins and join all users to the users group 1 using the ‘user management’ tab, and all admins to group 2.

Then go to ‘Topic permissions’ tab and activate

Then go to each forum in turn, join it to both groups, and then set the appropriate permissions. Group 1 would just have reply permission and groups 2 full permissions.

Hi,

I want to use bbPress for a forum on a site running WordPress 4.7 with the 2016 theme. I have a problem with the space that is (not) used by the forums: there is unused white space to the left of anything created by bbPress.

It can be seen here: Forums
If you compare this to e.g. this page, you can see the unused space.

This happens wether I use the sidebar or not. I don’t know what causes this, but maybe anyone can help?

[Robin W]

ok,

to separate into categories use

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

and go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>forum template and select the alternate template

Then go to

Dashboard>settings>forums>forum root

and note what that is called – usually ‘forums’

then create a page called whatever the forum root says eg ‘forums’ and into the content of this put

[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-index]

That should all work, but come back if you have queries

[Robin W]

ah – ok, suggest you post on their support site

Hello,

I’m moving to a new WordPress installation.

However, unfortunately I cannot just export my database. I’m on a host that has a very customized WordPress (I’m with Rainmaker, in case you’ve heard of them). I’m moving to a self-hosted WordPress where I have complete access to the database.

I cannot install any plugins on the old host.

I tried exporting the forums, topics, and replies. But, they are left without being associated to one another.

I’m not sure if it’ll change anything if I export it all at once. There’s a lot of other content, so I wanted to try to do it on its own.

What’s the best way to export my bbpress data so I can import it to my new WordPress installation?

Thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

ditto registration

google

wordpress rest api register new user

gets you several answers

[Robin W]

No idea what a rest API is , but bbpress uses wordpress’s register and login processes, so you can simply use those

I googled

wordpress rest api login

and got

http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/

but there’s a whole site there

[Wilbur]

I am developing an android app for my wordpress forum. Please is there any way I can create new users and login old ones programmatically? Maybe a rest API or something.

Please you can show the code in php or any language of your choice.
