which will let you set font sizes along with lots more

Hi,
We have made it so that all spambots who sign up to the bbp forum automatically get the role “no user role for this forum” (translated from German).
The thing is, when i go to my wordpress “user” settings, they are all under the “subscriber” role. As are all the real forum users.
I would like to have an option at the top to select just the “no role” users, so that i can bulk delete them all.
How do i do this?
thx.
btw, i dont want to install a wp-admin hide plugin as these have conflicted with our theme, and therefore i have to deactivate them.

Caveat: I’m new to WordPress, themes, CSS, and bbPress.

I’ve got a website that seems to be working properly (using the hueman theme (well, actually, hueman-child)), and have installed bbPress, and created a forum page, but the form is cluttered. It looks like:
instead of like how the documentation shows it to look:

I’ve deactivated all my plugins except bbPress, and have tried all 6 or 7 of my installed WordPress themes, but nothing seems to help? Suggestions? Thanks!

Update! I just tried clicking the Bottom “Change” button and it worked. The Top “Change” button does NOT work. Perhaps this is a WordPress bug?

[Jason]

I added a new user, but cannot change their role in the list of users. I check the box on the left of their username, then go to the top dropdown “Change forum role to…” and change it, but there is no effect. The only way I can change the role is to edit their profile individually, rather than using the Bulk method. I am going to be importing 160 users and cannot find a way to pre-populate the Forum Role field, so I’d like to save time by being able to change Forum Roles in bulk by putting a checkmark next to each user and performing the change all at once.

I am using the default Twenty Sixteen WordPress theme in use while testing this plugin.

Does anyone know about this limitation or bug?

I will be moving my website to a new host, it will keep the same URL, but not the same password/username/hostname for mysql/the database.

I’m using akeeba to move my wordpress site where I’m using bbpress as a plugin, complete with wordpress’ databases.

Does anyone know if bbpress will be fully moved and operational using this method? Akeeba should (I think?) move bbPress’ databases, but is there a place where I’ll have to change username/password/hostname for mysql in bbpress?

(Alternatively, is there a simple way to backup all the content on the forum and import them on the new webhost after doing a clean install of bbpress in case akeeba doesn’t take care of things?)

Hi All. Needed this exact behavior as well. It really should be the default behavior. But if you don’t want to hack the core here is the code to place in your functions.php or custom plugin:

/**

	// New reply notifications
	if ( 'bbp_new_reply' === $action ) {
		$topic_id    = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $item_id );
		$topic_title = bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id );
		$topic_link  = wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'bbp_mark_read', 'topic_id' => $item_id ), bbp_get_reply_url( $item_id ) ), 'bbp_mark_topic_' . $item_id );

The reply form showing directly beneath the reply should be fixed as of:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2971

Edit – Haven’t tested with TinyMCE though.

[Robkk]

One other little thing though. I notice that the reply form appears below all sub-replies of a reply, instead of directly beneath the intended reply.

I think the reply.js code and possible other areas for threaded replies code can be improved to fix this. No idea how right now.

When the reply form is at its default location in a bbpress topic, the Visual tab works fine. But when the reply form pops up after clicking “reply” on a comment, the Visual tab fails to work (can’t type in it or see the contents).

I think this is another known issue. One of these tickets need to possible be reopened and include a patch for this issue.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2700

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2646

[Robkk]

Alright I was asking if there could be sending bbPress subscriptions issues and hopefully I could help with that, but only if you already set up sending mail on localhost.

There isn’t much I can help on sending emails through WAMP as the last time I tried a few years back it was a pain to do so and fix some issues I was facing. See if this can help you though.

[Robkk]

Ok. I found the problem: Buddypress.

The functionality of reply.js works for bbpress, but does not work if the topic is in a forum that is within a Buddypress group.

Just tested on your site, as well as my test site. And yes that BuddyPress is related to this issue.

May not specifically be BuddyPress and their code. I think there are tickets with bbPress’ BuddyPress extend code that might have issues with some conditionals in a bbPress post that is in a group.

Will look through bbPress trac for some possibly related tickets.

Edit: Found the ticket.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2974

It is pretty easy to workaround this issue as well, since all you have to do is enqueue the javascript with a different conditional or enqueue it sitewide, but doing it sitewide might cause another issue somewhere.

Will do some testing and get back.

Hi guys.

I created my first bbPress forum, which is this -> http://bit.ly/1p1fpjH

I then I cloned that forum to another URL -> http://bit.ly/2evx82i

All right, because I modified the URL WordPress. But when I press to enter any part of the forum, it redirects me to the first forum.

What is the problem? Do I have to change the URL bbPress? Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

[mimbelli]

Hi Pascal,
Thanks for your reply.

I installed BuddyPress to reduce plugin use for my need but actually I use just the sitewide BBPress forum. Actually I’m trying to get the whole picture.
FWIW Buddypress doesn’t add new user roles but, for forum, it uses BBPress forum. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

As admin I need to approve user once registered. How I can avoid to assign worpress role “subscriber” and maybe assign BBPress role “blocked” until an admin take action validating the user?

I’m just trying to obtain a classic feature of all forums out there. I tried on Buddypress and WordPress but everybody says that it’s aquestion related to other product. I’m deadlock 🙂

PS
Imagine for a moment that I have only WP + BBPress forum. How I get this behaviour?
Until an admim approve it, a new user cannot browse the site and forum.

Thank you

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Can you try the steps I just posted in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installed-bbpress-cant-find-forum-on-wordpress-site/ ?
Pascal.

[james8181]

No worries. I appreciate your help with this Robin.

I am using the beaver builder page builder and their beaver child theme. I am entering it into the Appearance > customizer area. There is an area for code snippets in there. I usually put CSS in their global CSS area but have been advised from beaver builder that CSS that needs to affect dynamically generated pages (ie, not pagesi have created in the wordpress UI) need to be put in here.

[Robkk]

Just changed my site to a twenty sixteen child theme, still see no problem.

Yeah, that’s what I want. But I’m completely lost now. No idea why this doesn’t work for me.

Are you sure there’s nothing else I need to do? Just copy the reply.js file into a folder called js under my child theme? And that’s it? I can’t understand why it wouldn’t work even when I created a brand-new subdomain, and did no other modifications: just installed wordpress, added bbpress, created bare child theme and added reply.js. What else could be interfering with this function!?

Yeah that’s it. I am lost how you are getting issues for this still. There shouldn’t be an issue with this and default themes.

Only issue I have ever come across regarding issues with threaded replies is while using the Divi theme, some custom scripts in the theme has issues with it for some reason.

I also tested a topic without a forum like what you have on your test site for the heck of it, and I still have not run into issues.

Here is my custom twenty sixteen child theme that you can use and test yourself.

Ok, this is very unusual, but after a lot of testing it seems that @mentions do not get linked when there are spaces in front of the @mention in multiples of 2.

The autosuggest feature works fine when typing the post. The @mention links correctly when looking at the users buddypress activity feed, but the end result in the forum post is a plain text @mention IF there is 2, 4, 6, 8, … spaces in from of the @mention.

If someone has a solution to this that would be great, but I would settle for someone pointing me to the function that converts the @mention to linked text after database retrieval.

Wordpress 4.6.1
bbPress: 2.5.10

I tried also simply using twentysixteen theme and adding reply.js to the existing js folder (in case there was some issue with using a child theme) and this didn’t work either.

[Robin W]

you should find this plugin will do that

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

within the plugin set your users into two private groups, and allocate a forum/forums to each group.

Users will then be able to see and interact with only their forums inc. search.

Hello.

I’ve had the plugin, Yet Another Star Rating installed on my blog for quite a while now. Today I decided to install bbpress. Normally, once bbpress is installed, it creates new options in the dashboard menu (Forums, Subjects…). My problem is, when the “Yet Another Star Rating” plugin is activated, the bbpress menu items disappear from the dashboard menu (Forums, Subjects,…).

Can you give any advice on how to have both plugins installed and working?

Hi, community, I need some help please.

My instalation is a wordpress Multisite with buddypress and bbpress with 20.000 members / 7.000 topics / 425.000 posts. I use the last version of wordpress, buddypress and bbpress

1. I need to move my bbpress http://www.e-artemis.gr/forumz to subdomain oldforum.e-artemis.gr and keep it close from posting.
2. I need to install a fress bbpress to http://www.e-artemis.gr with the same members.

Is there anyway to do it harmless!

Thanks

Ahhh man. i just tried to deactivate the bbpress and the bbpress UI plugins to test something and it killed my site.

http://www.clashingbeavers.com just throws up:

are you using the plugin
