Hello,

I ran the PHP 7 Compatibility test against bbPress with the following results. Be nice if they could be fixed so I can use bbPress with PHP 7.

Hello,

I use WPML for a french/english website and bbPress 2.5.10 on a WordPress 4.5.3

I would have a single forum but have the ability to switch between the two languages. Is it possible ? How ?

Thanks.

Good morning,

I am new to BBPress, and would like ot install it on my (free) WordPress site, noumen.wordpress.com (which is a private site).

Wordpress do not allow plugins on their free sites for the dubious reason that your plugin might be vulnerable. Is there any way to install a forum on my site?

Otherwise, I will have to devize my own method of running a forum, albeit one with a lot less functionality than yours.

If you want to get to the source of it, you can find the theme used here on https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

Hello,

I am very new to bbPress. I have a few basic questions:
1. To simplify my question, suppose I create page A, B, C, D. For each separate page, I create forum A, B, C, D. When creating the forums, bbPress creates a page for each forum, let’s call them page FA, FB, FC, and FD. My goal is to add a shortcode for forum A to page A such that whenever a user submit a question, it will stay on page A instead of getting forwarded to page FA. The same goes for page B, C, and D. Is it possible to do this? I create these pages and forums, but everytime I submit a question or subscribe to the forum, the site brings me to page FA instead of letting me stay on page A.

2. Is it possible to change the front end of the text editor? here we have “b i link b-quote del img ul ol li code close tags”. For general user, they will be more familiar with more common buttons like Bold, Italic, Underline, a button to attach image, a button to add symbols, etc.

wordpress version: 4.5.3
bbPress version: 2.5.10

Thank you so much for your help!

Need help… I need the name, email, and web site fields to always display in the “Create New Topic” entry. When my customers login to WordPress it automatically removes those field. We have multiple people using one WordPress login and I need them to be able to post using their name and email.

[jlarsen01]

When my customers login into my WordPress site the name, email, and web site fields disappear in the post. I believe this has something to do with them being logged into the site…. Is there a way to always display those fields even if people are logged in? I have multiple customers in one office using one WordPress login and they would like to post things using their names and emails.

Necro. I am using the Evolve theme, WordPress 4.5.3, and have tried running this code in a child theme, but the effects only take place in the parent theme’s functions.php. I tried a mu-plugin as well. I am thoroughly pleased with the results in the parent theme but would love this in a child. Any thoughts?

[uschesch]

My gravitar is wokring fine in WordPress; however, it no longer appears in the forum. Now a default image appears. Does anyone know what would have caused this issue?

Wordpress: 4.5.3
bbPress: 2.5.9-6017

Thank you.

Wordpress version: 4.5.3
bbPress version: 2.5.10
theme: Zippy Courses
site: http://escuela.palabrasalavida.com/forums/forum/el-yoga-de-las-palabras/

Hi,

Pleased I’m stuck with this. I have my WordPress installed in es_ES, I have translated the Zippy Courses theme without problems and now I am trying to translate the bbpress pluging by copying the es_ES.mo file into the languages folder and it doesn’t work. The plugin is not getting translated.

I have tried to do it using the plugin “Codestyling localization” and I get this message:

Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that.

Any hints?

Thanks for your help!

I found a old report of this bug :

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2739

So it’s a known issue. My workaround (manually hacking the str_replace) seems to work so I’ll just manage that until it gets solved.

[melvinwu]

Is there any plugin that can help me to achieve this:

my website is using wordpress + bbpress. I want to create personalized experience for user. I have pages that dedicate to baby names: if the user has login to the bbpress, he is able to save the baby names and retrieve it later.

This means that I need to check whether the user has login to bbpress or not, if yes, i will need to get his/her user id.

May i know whether there is any plugin or program that can help me to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

[Leonyipa]

Oh, I have been looking for themes in https://wordpress.org/themes/

But most themes that barely synergize with BBPress and Buddypress.
Like the theme outside of BBPress and BuddyPress are in one colour, while the plugins are using a white theme. This makes the theme very not “fit” the plugins.

I have also tried themes labelled with Buddypress, but they look very “different” too.

Do you know if there are any free forum themes available?
Thanks!

$content_dir (from the constant ‘WP_CONTENT_DIR’) resolves as:
/var/lib/openshift/hexkey/app-root/data/current/wp-content

content_url gives mydomain/wp-content

and the file location starts out as :
/var/lib/openshift/hexkey/app-root/data/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js

That last path, I’d expect that to be /var/lib/openshift/hexkey/app-root/data/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js

i.e. after data is wp-content which is before plugins

Plugins are “typically” installed unto the wp-content directory, WordPress has some constants available to change these, typically WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL are used, WP_PLUGIN_DIR and WP_PLUGIN_URL are not used anywhere near as much, maybe the Openshift configuration has these defined in the wp-config.php file in the root directory?

https://codex.wordpress.org/Determining_Plugin_and_Content_Directories#Constants

This probably needs further investigation by bbPress, mainly to check the constants WP_PLUGIN_DIR and WP_PLUGIN_URL so these can be used standalone when WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CONTENT_URL are not used at all.

@oldshaghat can you check in your wp-config.php if any of the above constants are defined please?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, just given my thoughts: Is your original forum (the first one) also running on a local machine or on shared hosting? I had a bbpress site that locally was running very slow. The moment I moved it to a provider, it was running great…

My checklist:
Please note that WordPress requirements/recommendations are on https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

Some things to check:

– Have you run all the repair tools of bbpress after import to be sure your structure is optimized ?
– Have you deactivated any not-needed plugin ? Is your theme ready for bbPress ?
– Did you try to run performance tools like the P3 plugin performance profiler to narrow down the possible slow parts ?
– Did gtmetrix.com indicate something ? Or what did you see using the Pingdom Tools ?
– Is it for all people in the world the same ? Check with Sucuri performance.

Plugins:

– Are you using any cache mechanism to improve speed where possible ?
– Plugins like W3 Total Cache, Batcache, WP Super Cache or other ?
– Did you check for CloudFlare or the autoptimize plugin ?

Some further reading: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

If it would come to database queries, then check these plugins:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor-bbpress-buddypress-conditionals/

Also note that in the upcoming bbPress v2.6, a lot of focus went on possible performance issues.

Hope it helps,
Pascal.

Hi,

on my wordpress website I have 2 private groups, and i would like a common forum for this groups. But the problem if the user 1 is in the first group he can’t access to topic created on the second group.

How to do that ?

Sorry for my english.

Thx.

Dear All,

In my new forum, I am finding out that as replies are given, the default indent space is eating in to the post space rather than the post adjusting the text to fit it within the available width (after reducing the indent space). You can see that clearly in the second reply post #942 (posted by Fazil) in the below link

http://solarwindconsultants.com/forums/topic/economic-viability-of-solar-energy-at-any-given-location-latlong/

My versions are: WordPress 4.5.3 & bbPress 2.5.10. Also, my “Reply Threading” tick box is not enabled.

Please let me know what it is that I could be doing wrong?-

[Robkk]

Its not available for download. Besides its just a custom made theme made for the bb sites (bbpress.org and buddypress.org and their respective codex subdomains, possibly trac too )

Choose a theme from here.

[oldshaghat]

I’m seeing this in WordPress 4.5.3 and bbPress 2.5.10.

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress queues up its CSS stylelsheet using WordPress’ standard functions wp_enque_stylesheet() so it shouldnn’t cause any issues.

I’ve never tried Redhat’s Openshift, nor even knew it was a thing until now.

Do they use a “standard” copy of WordPress or is it modified somehow?

What versions of WordPress and bbPress are you having this issue with?

[oldshaghat]

Redhat’s Openshift has a nice WordPress option which was how I found bbPress. However, I am seeing that when deployed on openshift, the URL that the page ends up using to obtain the default bbPress theme data seems to be looking in the wrong spot.

The root page is looking at mydomain/var/lib/openshift/longHexKey/app-root/data/plugins …
This yields a 404 for the bbpress.css file and editor.js.

whereas if I change that to mydomain/wp-content/plugins …
The file comes back correctly.

I’m just starting to get things going here with this stack so I’m not sure if this is a bbPress thing, a WordPress thing, or an OpenShift thing, but other plugins seem to be doing it ok. Is there a straightforward edit I can make to the bbPress files?

[Robin W]

This plugin may be what you need

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

[Robkk]

This plugin might be what you are looking for.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-members-only/

[Robkk]

Did you make sure the hidden groups forum was also hidden? You can edit the forum in the WordPress backend and just change the post visibility to hidden.

[Robkk]

Follow this. If you theme has a specific way of creating a child theme follow any of their own guides.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

The categories and topics are all weird. I just wish it looked standard like every other major forum out there.

It may be how the default category and forum layout bbPress uses. Maybe consider using this loop-forums.php file in a child theme.
