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
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?
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
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.
ditto registration
google
wordpress rest api register new user
gets you several answers
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
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.
Update WordPress to 4.7 and bbpress to latest 2.5.12.
Also share your screenshot for others to figure out what is going on.
I want to change the layout of the topic when viewing topics on Mobile (i.e. small screens)
Currently is is like shown below

How do I make author appear on top of the post.
PS : I have enabled multithread reply
BBpress: 2.5.12
Wordpress: 4.7
Theme: Avada 5.0.4
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.
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
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] ?
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.
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;
}
}
