Hello,

I need your help. I have done research before posting, however, seems nobody had that issue before.

Could you please advise why my avatar picture and author name in complete mess. They are not staying at the same line. Example can be seen at http://www.mynettips.com/blog2/forums/forum/новый-форум/

I use wordpress version 4.5.2 and free theme JustWrite.

Your help would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Sam

Hello,

I am trying to setup my forums so that moderators can create forums on the front end of the website without having to login to wordpress with admid aka Least Privilege Rule.

However Ive exhausted many different potential solutions with no fix including:
-Modifying the Roles and verifying the ability to Publish Forums
-Granting Users the Moderator Privilege as well as making test Users for trialing

I cant imagine im the only one with this issue however I cannot find similar topics previously posted on here or google with the answers im looking for.

My URL is gamingcommunity.us

suggest you use my style pack

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

and see if that gets you to where you want to be

Better reference: this is what I want! But apparently this poor guy didn’t get what he was looking for, either…

Hi! This is for a client’s site, which is budpubs.com. We’re using WordPress 4.4.3 (his theme isn’t quite compatible with the latest version of WordPress, and the theme dev is no longer supporting the theme..=P) and the latest version of bbPress.

For some reason, the gravatar images aren’t showing within the forum. I tried looking for a thread that addressed this before creating my own, but I couldn’t really find anything specific to my problem. Has anyone here come across something like this before? Thanks!

Two weeks ago I installed bbPress, there was the “forum” tag in the admin dashboard. I uninstalled it soon after I installed as I did not have any use back then.

But today when I reinstalled a few times, the “forum” tag did not appear at admin dashboard. Neither did the introduction page of bbPress that has the “go to settings” link appeared.

I tried on my other website and it has no problem. Please advice how to get the normal installation running.

Both are running on the latest wordpress.org version.

I recently went through our forum and removed all the old and non required topics but after I did that the counters on the forums were all wrong. I went tot he recount feature until the tools section and rant he options to recounts and recalculate each forum and topic which all worked fine.

Now when anyone who is a participant (which is everyone except the admin on my site) tried to view the forums, they get no topics returned. When I login as admin I can see them all. I have changed everyone to be KeyMaster and now they can see them again.

Any idea what might have happened ? I’ve checked permissions and can see Participant is in there as can view, as is subscriber. Using BBPress 2.5.9 and WordPress 4.5.2 BBPress was installed well over a year ago and has been upgraded with each update when the plugins page tells me to.

website is http://www.greenbankarchers.com but forum is a private members only area behind wordpress.

Hi,
I have a issue regarding the Visual Editor within the forum page. I would like the visual editor within the forum edit page to be enabled so that I can give a image/text introduction to the forum. I have tried to install suggested plugins like “TinyMCE Advanced” and others but none of them directly solve the problem I am having. Example of what I am looking for:

What I would like to be on the page:

[Robin W]

suggest you try re-installing

or

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Hello guys,

I have question. i have static website. I haven’t installed wordpress on my site. can i install bbPress for my website without wordpress. Please let us in it is possible.

Thanks

[uschesch]

I am using the private groups plugin for this. The plugin lets you restrict certain topics to the members of a group. If you want your topic available for all forum users to see, but you only want certain users to be notified, then the private groups plugin will likely not work. You can find the plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

[Kineta]

I came up with a solution, based on the start @davidstriga made. I’ve been meaning to post it for anyone else having the same issue. I don’t have the same goal he did to notify everyone in a forum, just the person being replied to, so I removed the foreach loop. I also wanted the notification to go to the actual replied-to post in the thread and not just the initial topic at the top of the page. The forum I’m working on has titles on all the replies – but if you aren’t using titles on replies the notification just shows the topic title, but the link still goes to the relevant post/reply.

If anyone is interested, here’s my solution. It’s working great on our site and takes care of the duplicate issues, as well as the GMT timestamp problem.

Put this in your theme’s functions.php

/* notifications */

function jpr_buddypress_add_notification( $reply_id = 0, $topic_id = 0, $forum_id = 0, $anonymous_data = false, $author_id = 0, $is_edit = false, $reply_to = 0 ) {

	$current_topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
	$ids_of_subs = bbp_get_topic_subscribers($current_topic_id);
		
		// this is who the notification goes to. whose post is replied to
		$topic_author_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $reply_to );

		// Bail if somehow this is hooked to an edit action
		if ( !empty( $is_edit ) ) {
			return;
		}

		// Get author information
		// $topic_author_id   = bp_loggedin_user_id();
		$secondary_item_id = $author_id;

		// Hierarchical replies
		if ( !empty( $reply_to ) ) {			
			$reply_to_item_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $reply_to );
		}		

		// pass the $reply_id to the function that formats the notification
		$topic_id = $reply_to;
		
		// Get some reply information
		$args = array(
			'user_id'          => $topic_author_id,
			'item_id'          => $topic_id,
			'component_name'   => bbp_get_component_name(),
			'component_action' => 'bbp_new_reply',
			'date_notified'    => get_post( $reply_id )->post_date_gmt,
		);
	 	
		// Notify the topic author if not the current reply author
	 	if ( $author_id !== $topic_author_id ) {
			$args['secondary_item_id'] = $secondary_item_id ;

			bp_notifications_add_notification( $args );
	 	}
	 	// Notify the immediate reply author if not the current reply author
	 	if ( !empty( $reply_to ) && ( $author_id !== $reply_to_item_id ) ) {
			$args['secondary_item_id'] = $secondary_item_id;
			
			bp_notifications_add_notification( $args );
	 }
}
// remove the bbpress notification function so we don't get dupicate notifications
remove_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_buddypress_add_notification', 10, 7 );
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'jpr_buddypress_add_notification', 10, 7 );

// remove the bbpress format notification function before using our custom function
remove_filter( 'bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'bbp_format_buddypress_notifications', 10, 5 );

function jpr_format_buddypress_notifications( $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string' ) {

	// New reply notifications
	if ( 'bbp_new_reply' === $action ) {
		$topic_id    = bbp_get_reply_id( $item_id );
		$topic_title = bbp_get_reply_title( $item_id );
		$topic_link  = wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'bbp_mark_read', 'topic_id' => $topic_id ), bbp_get_reply_url( $item_id ) ), 'bbp_mark_topic_' . $topic_id );
		$title_attr  = __( 'Topic Replies', 'bbpress' );

		if ( (int) $total_items > 1 ) {
			$text   = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new replies', 'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items );
			$filter = 'bbp_multiple_new_subscription_notification';
		} else {
			if ( !empty( $secondary_item_id ) ) {
				$text = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new reply to %2$s from %3$s', 'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items, $topic_title, bp_core_get_user_displayname( $secondary_item_id ) );
			} else {
				$text = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new reply to %s',             'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items, $topic_title );
			}
			$filter = 'bbp_single_new_subscription_notification';
		}

		// WordPress Toolbar
		if ( 'string' === $format ) {
			$return = apply_filters( $filter, '<a href="' . esc_url( $topic_link ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title_attr ) . '">' . esc_html( $text ) . '</a>', (int) $total_items, $text, $topic_link );

		// Deprecated BuddyBar
		} else {
			$return = apply_filters( $filter, array(
				'text' => $text,
				'link' => $topic_link
			), $topic_link, (int) $total_items, $text, $topic_title );
		}

		do_action( 'jpr_format_buddypress_notifications', $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items );

		return $return;
	}
}
add_filter( 'bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'jpr_format_buddypress_notifications', 10, 5 );

It should work, buy if not try my style pack

How can I get the post author’s name to appear in the reply RSS feed?

When someone posts, they (must and do) fill out their name, in the “Your Name” field. (That field has id=”bbp_anonymous_author” name=”bp_anonymous_name”.)

But the post author doesn’t appear in the RSS feed. The author is blank:
<dc:creator></dc:creator>
https://zimfest.org/topic/rides-offered/feed/

How can I get bbPress to recognize that field as the reply author? (It’s not actually anonymous!)

The forum is here:
https://zimfest.org/rideboard/
(The URL will change when this goes public)

What you see so far is just my own testing. This is a new bbPress forum that’s not public yet. I plan to make it public soon, as a way to create a (very basic) ride board.

WordPress 4.4.3; Responsive theme with customized child theme; bbPress 2.5.9; bbP Toolkit plugin (1.0.6); bbPress Moderation plugin (1.8.3).

I’ve created (I believe) a fully moderated forum by using the Moderation plugin. No one is expected (or able) to register on the site, but all posts must be approved (by me) before they appear. (This is how WordPress comments work when moderation is required.) I was surprised to discover that bbPress won’t do this on its own, and getting this behavior with the Moderation plugin is a little convoluted (difficult).

I’m not using bbPress’s subscription system. Instead, we have we manage our a mailing list in MailChimp that sends new posts via RSS to email. This works well for our blog posts and comments, but I need to fix some details in the forum RSS feeds. The blank <creator> RSS field causes my emails to say “by Anonymous”.

(In the RSS feeds, you will see my name as the author of a few posts, because I logged into WordPress before making those posts. But I don’t expect reply authors to log in; they won’t be able to do so.)

Also, how can I remove “Reply To:” from the title in the RSS feed? What line in which file (template?) do I need to modify?
<title><![CDATA[Reply To: Rides Offered]]></title>

First time posting here. Thanks for your help (and I hope I’ve followed protocol).

I posted this yesterday, but it has not appeared on the forum. I’m guessing that’s because it contained 3 links, so needed to be approved. Apparently it was not approved. I have removed one of the links this time (link to a 2nd RSS feed).

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your answer, each time importing the users i have done this from a completely fresh wordpress installation with wordpress 4.5.2 and BBPress 2.6″Alpha” on different databases using both MySQL and MariaDB, so i fail to see how this has to do with redundant imports.

However, when i disabled the founder option for the missing users everything went smooth through, this was on a database where i’ve “reset” the forum using the reset option next to import.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,

The /forums page is probably the standard generated one.
Just create a standard WordPress page in your /wp-admin and give it the /forums slug.
This page will overwrite the generated one.

Pascal.

Thank you! This has fixed the problem but now on my menu bar I have “Forum” and “Forums”. Am I supposed to delete Forum? Sorry if this seems like an obvious answer but I am new to this world of working with plugins and using WordPress.

All of my topics show up under the original “Forum” but on the new “Forums” page only 1 topic shows up. How can I fix this? http://hudsonrivervalleybaby.com/forum/

[designbysue]

I just installed bbPress so am new to this. The main forums page at http://brigade.org.c11.previewyoursite.com/forums displays the incorrect sidebar – if you click on one of the forums you can see the correct sidebar, which I applied in the set up of the individual forum page. How can I edit the page http://brigade.org.c11.previewyoursite.com/forums?
Wordpress 4.5.2
bbPress 2.5.9

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

[Stephen Edgar]

@haddly Thanks though it looks correct to me:

A single topic and single reply so without plurals:

Multiple topics and replies so with plurals:

Also the German translations for this string for bbPress 2.5.x are here and for 2.6-alpha are here

In my bbpress forum when i want to reply to a message you get the editor just like on this forum. I hit the link button:

And i am faced with a white popup background and white-ish text which is too hard to read as shown below:

I am unable to find which CSS this is causing so i can change it. I can only find the background of the bit where it says “Insert/edit link” and this is in wp-includes/css/editor.min.css and exact value is #link-modal-title which is set to #fcfcfc.

The part below it, i cannot find.

Can anyone assist me?

Cheers :)!

If you use my private groups plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/then there is a widget called (PG) Forums list which will do this.

You may think it overkill to have the whole plugin just to don that one thing, but if you donlt set anything the overhead should be unnoticible!

[mikeyb]

Hi guys

I know this is more an issue with another plugin, but I thought I would post here as well in case anyone had an ideas

See original post here

I’m using the “NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster“ and since setting it up 3 days ago, I’ve come in after the weekend and found it’s killed any pages I have using BBpress shortcodes (eg [bbp-forum-index]) The direct links to the forums are working fine, it’s just pages containing shortocdes.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

[justinh83]

I have several bbPress forums in my WordPress site and I want to use a bbPress Forum List to show only certain forums. By default it shows all forums, but I just want to show a specific one or two in the Forum List. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Wordpress version: 4.5.2
bbPress version: 2.5.9
