I am just a moderator here so have no influence over what is and isn’t included.

If you want login and registration on the menu, then add this plugin

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

and go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

Is the bug still present? I am using 2.5.12, released on December 9, 2016.
And still facing the same problem.

Theme: Avada 5.0.4
Wordpress: 4.7
BBpress: 2.5.7

I like your plugin, but I still have issues.

1). I can’t make my forum introduction sticky.

2). There are few editing options on forums. And users can’t edit from the front-end.

3). My forum has a sidebar within a sidebar. I could not change it, no matter what I tried.

Thank you!

The standaard BBpress searchfunction is very bad,slow, had no options to filter and it looks there is no development on this.

A good searchfunction is so very important for a succesfull forumscript.

After long searching and testing serveral search-plugin i’ve found a good working plugin.
Fast, configurable and ajax.

See the search-plugin in my live website http://www.opel-forum.nl
I use the free version. The pro version has more options.

This is the link to the plugin.

I found this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/basic-user-avatars/
But, it has not been updated since 2 years.

[Robin W]

there is no shortcode for logout – users normally just leave the site

you can add login/logout to the menu.

This plugin will help you do that

Hello:

I tried to set up a forum on my site. Where do I add new forums? I created a Forum page but I see no options to add forums to any pages. They go to my landing page only. Instructions for setting up a forum aren’t clear enough to me.

Hi, I’m having an issue with how bbpress displays on my website. Im using the divi theme with the latest bbpress plugin and wordpress version.

The border is misaligned on the left and bottom (see link below). I have tried css to fix it but with no luck. I think its to do with the padding. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for any help!

How about this?

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mass-delete/

you would want a post status of spam

I haven’t tried it.

PLEASE come back and tell us if it works

[Robin W]

Have you tried

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-messages/

I have not used it, and if you try it, PLEASE come back and let us know if it works, that will help others.

Hi! Good day! Is it possible to convert thread [bbpress a like] to post [normal wordpress post] ?

[akgt]

Im looking for a PM system that will work with wordpress and bbpress, ive found frontend PM but it doesnt work with bbpress out of the box and im not getting any reply from the developer.

does anyone have any suggestions.

[Robin W]

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT FOLLOWS !!!

BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST !!

see

Remove post_status Spam Posts from WordPress

but this should do it

DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_status = "spam"

It will not get rid of post meta for these.

@invoke_media_group – This forum topic does not have anything to do with your issue/problem. So please create a new forum topic for your different issue/problem. Also you should do standard troubleshooting steps first before posting your new forum topic: deactivate all other plugins to see if another plugin is causing the problem, comment out any custom functions you have created in your theme functions.php file, switch your current theme to a WordPress theme: 2017, 2016… When you post a bbPress forum topic you need to include these things: what WordPress version you have installed, bbPress version you have installed and what troubleshooting steps you have already performed.

You should also probably include the relevant code in file: /bbpress/includes/core/template-function.php on line 316 (shown below) and that this function: bbp_get_template_stack() uses this filter: bbp_get_template_stack to Call the functions added to the ‘bbp_template_stack’ filter hook, and return an array of the template locations. There is also a related bug here that appears to have already been fixed: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2871

	// Sort.
	if ( class_exists( 'WP_Hook' ) ) {
		$filter = $wp_filter[ $tag ]->callbacks;
	} else {
		$filter = &$wp_filter[ $tag ];

		if ( ! isset( $merged_filters[ $tag ] ) ) {
			ksort( $filter );
			$merged_filters[ $tag ] = true;
		}
	}

WordPress 4.7
bbPress 2.5.12
Site: https://forum.ait-pro.com/
Custom bbPress/BuddyPress Theme & tested switching to WP Twenty Seventeen Theme
Tried creating a bug ticket on trac, but was not allowed to login and do so.

Issue: In previous versions of bbPress this code below worked fine in my Theme functions.php file. As of bbPress 2.5.12 this code is no longer working in my Theme functions.php file. I checked output and bbPress Core code and did not see anything obvious. Output was good. ie $role and $caps, but it appeared that the filter was not being processed in time when the Activity template loaded. So I moved this code to the BuddyPress /plugins/bp-custom.php file and this code works fine. So obviously this some kind of init or loading order type of issue. ie the filter is being processed too late.

// bbPress Disable Topic Tags for Participants
function aitpro_get_caps_for_role_filter( $caps, $role ) {
	
	if ( $role == 'bbp_participant' )
		$caps = aitpro_get_caps_for_role( $role );

	return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'aitpro_get_caps_for_role_filter', 10, 2 );

function aitpro_get_caps_for_role( $role ) {
	switch ( $role ) {
		/* Disable Topic Tags for Participants */
		case 'bbp_participant':
			return array(
 
				// Primary caps
				'spectate'              => true,
				'participate'           => true,

				// Forum caps
				'read_private_forums'   => true,

				// Topic caps
				'publish_topics'        => true,
				'edit_topics'           => true,

				// Reply caps
				'publish_replies'       => true,
				'edit_replies'          => true,

				// Topic tag caps
				'assign_topic_tags'     => false, // Using false disables allowing Participants to create Topic Tags

			);
			break;
		default :

		return $role;
	}
}

Any post or reply on any forum throws an error after a long time of trying to submit the post [an error occurred while processing this directive]

The post or reply is successful, you can see it when you reload the page. When you make a post or reply and click submit, you can reload the page almost immediately and see that the post was made, not sure why it hangs so long and then shows [an error occurred while processing this directive]

I have tried this with WordPress 2016 theme with the same outcome. It does not do this on my local development server. This is not a new problem but I have just updated to the latest version and it still happens.

Wordpress 4.7
bbPress 2.5.12
BuddyPress 2.7.3

I don’t know if there is a way to get more info from the server, its go daddy shared hosting

Hello,
I am currently using bbpress on my wordpress site and I am struggling on adding groups on the bbpress like on this site ( http://connect.additudemag.com/groups/ ). I just wanted to know if bbpress is capable of having this features too because I really wanted to create groups on my forum but I don’t know where to add it. Please help me, this is urgent.

try

you can put it as a project

[tinarrion]

We have upgraded to the latest versions of WordPress (4.7) and BBPress (2.5.12). We are seeing javascript errors now for finding the BBPress.css in the Child Theme.

http://insequence.online/wp-content/themes/flatbase-child/style.css/bbpress/bbpress.css?ver=4.7 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

I have copied the BBPress folder into the root directory of the child theme, though the link above states it should be in a structure below the style.css. This cannot be done, is there somewhere I can modify where it is looking or do I need to do something different to get past this?

Hello,

I need help setting up a forum. I have installed BuddyPress and bbPress 2.5.12-6148. I have WordPress 4.6.1. The gist of the forum and the specs that I’m aiming for are:

1) I want the forum to appear in my menu bar like the support menu option above.
2) I want the forum page to be essentially look like the support forum page on this site, where each time a topic is created it’s added to that page in an ongoing list.
3) I need there to be an effective search feature that allows users to find a company (which will be the topic title) so they can add to that stream instead of having multiple streams about the same company.
4) I want the forum to be accessible via paid membership only.
5) I want the moderator, and only the moderator, to have a tool to mark an issue “resolved” such as a different color font, bold highlighted font, etc. But I want to do this without closing the thread so that every time there’s an issue that same thread can be used.

If you can help, please let me know what your rates are. And if those rates are hourly, approximately how long you think this project will take.

[ysiggen]

Too late to edit my reply, I’d like to point out the fact that I was looking in the wrong area for replacing the wp avatar (with the bp one) as obviously in a forum, the avatar of each reply is attached to the… reply!

That way I added a filter on the bbp_get_reply_author_avatar method instead of the bbp_get_current_user_avatar one.

Personally, I’m not done as I am going to track down every part of my website where the wrong avatar gets displayed (which obviously means going through the wordpress code), but that’s not a bbpress concern anymore.

(I don’t know if there is like a “resolved” mark to give or something, but I’m all done with this topic 🙂 )

[selly]

I received the same error message and I just updated all of my plugins as well as my version of wordpress.

[ysiggen]

Okay so I am coming back here as I resolved it (it was quite easy actually, I am just very new to wordpress and also php programming).

I just had to use the bp_core_fetch_avatar() function instead of the get_avatar() one.
So, I had to call the correct function at the correct location and that’s all. Here is what I put in my function.php :

//Make bbpress use the buddypress avatar instead of the wp one
function bbp_get_bp_reply_author_avatar( $reply_id = 0, $size = 40 ) {
                $reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
                if ( !empty( $reply_id ) ) {
                        // Check for anonymous user
                        if ( !bbp_is_reply_anonymous( $reply_id ) ) {
                                //Below is the old line
                                //$author_avatar = get_avatar( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ), $size );
                                //Below is the new line
                                $author_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id) ) );
                        } else {
                               // $author_avatar = get_avatar( get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email', true ), $size );
                                $author_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email') ) );

                         }
                } else {
                        $author_avatar = '';
                }

                return $author_avatar;
        }
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'bbp_get_bp_reply_author_avatar');
