I don’t think you have to download the files anymore. I think all you have to do is change your language in Settings > General now.

Here is the list of translations. German seems to be at 100%.

I guess try what I said above, because a WordPress update possibly changed the language directory for each plugin.

For posts users make in a given period of time. I think there is a WordPress backend statistics plugin. I think it shows the amount of posts a user posts in a month? Not entirely sure if I my memory is correct.

You might want to hire a developer to create this for you.

[Robkk]

Robin might be on to something with the url thing. Robins suggestion works fine, but I usually suggest looking into using the Reveal IDs plugin, as it really makes it easier by just adding a column in posts like Forums > All Forums list and users list in the WordPress backend.

You already should have a way to view topics with no replies. By default bbPress has a feature called Views. It allows you to display topics with various different arguments. Topics with no replies should be one of the 2 default views which are Most popular topics and Topics with no replies

You can link to the existing page using the Topic Views widget in your sidebar, or you can use a shortcode already provided by bbPress to display a view shortcode in a page and add it to a menu. You can also also instead add a custom link to a menu in the menus section in Appearance > Menus if you do not need to use a shortcode in a page.

The widget is called the Topic Views widget that you will be able to see in Appearance > Widgets or you can manage your sidebars using the Customizer API in Appearance > Customize in the WordPress backend.

https://codex.bbpress.org/features/widgets/

The shortcode you would want to use is [bbp-single-view id='no-replies']

https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/#views

If for some reason you may not already have the default view. See if its related to a theme/plugin function removing the default view by troubleshooting.

Plugin Troubleshooting

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/#plugins

Theme Troubleshooting

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/#themes

If its not a theme/plugin issue we can check to see if its a possible bug causing an issue.

@rateyourway The “freshness” term has been removed from bbPress 2.6 (/dev) so you will not see it in the translation files, it is still there for the current bbPress 2.5.x see:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=freshness&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc#

Edit: The string may also be coming from your theme, switch themes to one of the included “Twenty” themes to double check.

[Robin W]

I’ve just added that capability to one of my existing shortcodes in my style pack plugin, so if you install

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

and then see

Dashhboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes for a description of how to use it in detail, but

[bsp-display-topic-index noreply='true']

used in a page will get you what you want

[mod edit – moved to a new topic]
I have made many attempts to import my xenforo into bbpress. Import will stop in the middle / all posts will be made by anonymous users etc.

So today I used bbpress alpa version (2.6) to import my xenforo forum. Everything came through except users.

Their names are appearing in the topics and replies but they are not found in the list of users. I think they are being considered as anonymous users. So the number of voices in a thread is zero even though the thread has 14 replies.

I took screenshots of the entire process. I am also willing to give access to moderators here.

If this issue is fixed, I can import bbpress to my live wordpress site.

Thank you.

Robin:

Originally: I hid the top primary menu by adding a bit of CSS to the child theme:

.primary-navigation {
        display: none;
}

…but I have since enabled the top primary menu.

Robkk,

I am already using
* WordPress 4.6
* bbPress 2.5.10
* BuddyPress 2.6.2

It seems all these are the latest at this time.

[Robkk]

Well I don’t entirely understand where you are getting at, but I mean its possible for a user to have 3 different roles.

For example.

Site Role – Subscriber – Default WordPress role
Forum Role – Participant – Default bbPress role
Membership Role – Premium Member – Some paid membership framework plugins role

If you want 1 custom site role with different capabilities that other roles might have, consider creating a custom user role. But be aware of what each capability does, so that you will not give your users permissions that you do not exactly want them to have.

Creating a custom bbPress role guide.

https://codex.bbpress.org/custom-capabilities/

bbPress user roles and capabilities

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

WordPress roles and capabilities

https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

And a plugin I would recommend to create a custom user role with custom capabilities would be a plugin called Members by Justin Tadlock.

[Robkk]

Its the WordPress toolbar, a bit customized, but its definitely the default WordPress toolbar.

I have already posted this question, but has not been approved by moderators. Please approve, has been entire day already, thank you.

I have issue where bbPress HTML code is being written above the <doctype> declaration in my page, but this only happens when not logged in / signed in to WordPress. This is for Forums and Topics pages, and none others. When logged in, then HTML code is written in its proper place. I will attach a screenshot showing both instances, the top being when not signed in (HTML is out of place, before <doctype>), the bottom when signed in (HTML is correctly placed in body, and <doctype> comes first as it should).

Any ideas on where this HTML might be called differently, depending on whether or not user is logged in? I have tried disabling plugins. Perhaps it is something with my theme. My site can be viewed at http://www.lexiconleep.com/forums/forum/leep-questions-answers/ … I wonder if it has something to do with assigning a forum role to anonymous users..? Perhaps anonymous (not logged in) users need to have a forum role … I will look into this. Thanks!

Hello all,

I’ve not been able to find a way to display my forum content to general viewers to my website (without login access). The site link is loveofroad.com/wordpress.

Because of this issue Google is not able to crawl the site and I’m not able to see any of my content in google results.

Need some help in fixing this.

Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

The last version of the import has problems and lost the relation between post and owner.

That’s because the current version only supports phpBB 3.1.x as I stated above.

As you don’t need to worry about any custom modules as bbPress doesn’t support these anyway I still think you are best of upgrading your phpBB database schema to 3.1.x, but here is a 3.0.x alternative for you to try, though no guarantees and I won’t be making any 3.0.x changes etc.

This here is the 3.1.x version: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php?rev=5795

This here is the 3.0.x version:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php?rev=5770

You’ll still need to use bbPress 2.6 alpha with that 3.0.x version.

[Stephen Edgar]

The dashes ———— usually indicate that the database connection has been lost, sadly this one bug I’ve not been able to nail down with the importer to fix and give a decent warning/error message.

Basically a workaround is to open another tab in your browser to the dashboard page and refresh it every hour so and by doing so WordPress doesn’t “lose” the database connection

[ordresser]

I want to do CSS for just the forum thread pages themselves (ie if I change the title color, I don’t want that change to apply to the list of forums or to other parts of my WordPress theme).

I’m working in the style.css file. How can I target bbpress’s templates and pages.phps?

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve only ever had a handful of people ask and/or help on importing Xenforo to bbPress, I’ve been lucky that I’ve been given copies of the raw database to work on, thats the only reason the bbPress Xenforo importer exists.

There are some bbPress forum tweaks that can be made to improve performance, and as pointed out some of those will ship with bbPress 2.6 (hopefully sooner rather than later), there are also further tweaks that won’t ship with bbPress 2.6 but can be added to further improve performance.

Edit: This site is running on bbPress 2.6, by the end of the week so will wordpress.org/support, over the past couple of weeks bbPress 2.6 has been used to roll out ~25 international (Non English) forums across w.org see: https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2016/07/29/rosetta-forum-upgrades-in-progress/

bbPress 2.6 is very stable right now 🙂

I found the excellent article by Tanner Moushey on how to create groups programmaticaly: https://tannermoushey.com/2014/08/create-groups-buddypress/

However I also need to create a forum for each group, and I can’t get his suggestion of using groups_new_group_forum to work. I read other posts of getting function doesnt exist error for bp_forums_new_forum (which groups_new_group_forum calls), but I believe I found the right requires to get that function, and everything it depends on, but now I am getting an error about null several layers down within bb code.

Here is my code so far:

<?php
/* Show the errors in browser */

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

/** Load WordPress Bootstrap */
require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/../admin.php' );

require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php');

wp_dashboard_setup();

do_action('bbpress_init');

This bundled with a page conditional will do what you want.

[Robkk]

Instead of going through each template and possibly changing this, you can also use a php code function listed int this topic.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/resizing-avatars/#post-148625

The original source of their code seems to be from this guide.

https://schaltgetriebe.wordpress.com/2014/04/06/increase-avatar-size-in-bbpress/

[Robkk]

In WordPress you can set this in Settings > General in the WordPress backend in the New User Default Role setting.

Hi, here is what I did for my site:

1. Installed Allow PHP Execute
2. Create a page, for example “forum profile”
3. Add this code:

<?php
if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
  header('Location: /my-account/');
} else {
  $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
  $user=$current_user->user_nicename;
  $newURL = '/forums/users/' . $user;
  header('Location: '.$newURL);
}
?>

4. Now when you go to this page, which you now can add to any menu location supported by your theme, if not logged in, will redirect to your login page, otherwise redirect to their form profile link.

Hi, I added a new wordpress role and would like it to map new users not to the participant role but rather to spectator.

So I added this filter in my functions.php.

add_filter('bbp_get_user_role_map', 'assign_spectator_role');
  function assign_spectator_role($roles) {
    $roles['mynewrole'] = bbp_get_spectator_role(); 
  return (array) $roles;
}

Problem is that this filter does not get executed.
If I add my role directly in the bbp_get_user_role_map function it works but not with the filter.
The tools function ‘remap_roles’ also works fine.

Any ideas how I can get it to work?

Cheers.
