I used the plugin wp-members and put the forums in the member area. I have been speaking to the author of that plugin who is brilliant with support and he had problems at the begining as well. So I have done loads more searching and it is known problem which BBPress do nothing about

There is no solution out there BUT what you can do is change the main search function to include forums and that is what I have eventually done. I do think BBPress should provide a proper solution

So you ditch the BBPress function, it does not work. And amend the normal search to include forums. I used this code snippet to help.

/**
* Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results */

function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
        $topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
        return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );

/**
* Include bbPress 'forum' custom post type in WordPress' search results */

function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
        $forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
        return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );

/**
* Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results  */

function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
        $reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
        return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

Hello
i have an issue regarding role of forum in BBPRESS the “moderator” role doesn’t see the “Forum” menu in the WordPress back-end

There is subpages, only 2 subpages, but there is still something. I did update the forum moderation page just now.

i need to be able to set up a list of wp users to be the admin/moderators of the forum
i need to be able to make them know about a new post (i can do it via mailing list)
and they should be able to reply and make the question public via front end. and the op must be notified when someone replies to or publish the post.

Maybe try this plugin to allow, anonymous users to be able to subscribe to posts.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-anonymous-subscriptions/

You can tell your moderators to subscribe to whatever forum they want to moderate, by clicking the subscribe link on the single forums page on the frontend.

If you are talking about per forum moderation for you forums, I do not think you cannot do that as of now.

Okay I tested the bbPress forum search on my localhost setup with the latest bbPress, BuddyPress, and WordPress, and I have no issues.

I am running a default setup, and I do not have the forums under a directory called “members area” though. If you run bbPress in the default setup without putting it under the “members area” directory would it work on your site if you searched “forum” for your only forum on your site?

I am not entirely sure how you did the members area directory on your site in the first place, I am not entirely sure it is a sub directory in a multisite setup.

bbPress reply posts are having issues with CSS from your theme that is for WordPress comments.

Try this CSS, add it to your child themes style.css file or add it to a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums .reply a {
  float: none;
  padding: 0;
  color: inherit;
  font-size: inherit;
  display: initial;
  position: initial;
}

@pestocat for the latest bbPress v2 plugin, you need to install the Akismet plugin from wordpress.org.

[Robkk]

@rothaar bbPress by default does not have this kind of layout or the “by” in the last post column, so it is definitely your theme.

I think that the “by” is just in a template, maybe loop-single-topic.php and loop-single-forum.php in your theme.

It might be best to create a child theme and manually edit the template and then translate the word to your language.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Just copy your main themes bbPress templates into your child theme, and edit the files I listed above.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Karen,

I suspect that is coming from your theme and not from bbPress as I don’t recognize that column as being standard WordPress.

If this is a public site, could you post the link here so I have a look ?

Thanks,
Pascal.

I would like to know how I can put up a ‘forum cover image’ on the page of each of my forums…..
I was hoping to use the ‘featured image’ function and display a landscape image on top of the page.

For example, if i am running a fitness forum community with a cardio workouts forum, and put up a cover image showing pple doing cardio….. and then for the weights forum, i’d have a weights cover image.

How could I do this?

FYI My knowledge of wordpress, bbpress, buddypress is beginner – intermediate. I know how to edit files, but not write code myself.

[pestocat]

Finally I have the forum looking pretty good. URL is http://www.paloaltoenergy.org From another PC I was able to register at WordPress.org and get username/password. But when I try to login with this new username and password, I get message that username and password don’t exist. How can I fix this.

Hi there,

I want bbpress being displayed in spanish. My wordpress page is usually in english. I found a topic about the same problem already in this forum, where one of you guys said that the homepage language has to be spanish if you want that bbpress is in spanish. So I changed the language in the general settings in wordpress to spanish but the forum sentences of bbpress are still displayed in english (for instance: “This forum is empty.Oh bother! No topics were found here!Create New Topic in…”). I also put the .mo and.po files in my ftp manager like its recommended here in the forum. Nevertheless it is not working. I hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi all!
I use Woo Memberships and Subscriptions to run a pretty healthy membership type site at schoolofbookkeeping.com. The public should be able to view forums, but not reply or create topics. When a subscriber logins, of course they should be able to. However, if they cancel their subscription, Woo turns “subscriber” into “customer” BUT I have no idea how to turn “participant” into “spectator.” I’ve tried to bulk edit in users, but it won’t stick. Each user has “customer, participant.” I am forced to edit each user and change it within their user profile. This can be extremely time consuming. Any ideas?

Hi!
We’ve found a bug and we’d like to notify you about it.
Slider Revolution 5.2.5 + BuddyPress 2.5.2 + bbPress 2.5.8 shows next notices:

Hello there,

I have a really strange problem… In the last few days I’ve noticed that all my messages do not show paragraphs, bolds, italics and neither links inside my topics.

I find it really strange and if you want to have a look to this is the link on a page where this happens. Inside this response there was some links and formatting but everything is gone.

It seems like WordPress is stripping out all the formatting my users add to the text and if you inspect the code you’ll find out that not a single <p> has been used…

I am using custom template pages but in order to test I’ve also renamed the bbpress/ folder inside my theme and the problem is still present. Tryed to use Twenty Fiftheen and the problem persists. Also checked the settings but everything seems normal.

The only thing I’ve done is update WordPress to the version 4.5, at least is the last action that I can recall.

Hope you can help me and thank you for your advices.

All the best,
Andrea

WordPress Version: 4.5
bbPress Version: 2.5.8
Genesis Version: 2.2.7
bbPress Genesis Extend Version: 1.1.1

Hi,

could it be that there is a string missing in the bbPress translation file? I’m currently creating my forum. As far as I can see all the strings are translated fine but one.

http://screencast.com/t/Itg0OHkV9Gs

I’ve looked through all the strings that contain ‘by’ and they are all translated correctly with the German word ‘von’. However, I’m thinking that this particular ‘by’ is not even in the list and therefore not translated. Can somebody help me with this?

I’m using:
WordPress 4.5
BuddyPress 2.5.2
bbPress 2.5.8
Polylang 1.8.5
Loco Translate 1.5.5

[Shane Gowland]

I’d like to create a forum index that resembles Flarum, where colour coded labels indicate which forum each topic belongs to.

bbPress conveniently outputs the names of each forum a topic is assigned to. Unfortunately, using just CSS, there is no way to assign different colours to each forum.

I’d like each different forum to have an ID selector, much like WordPress posts do, so that I could easily assign colour.

Example:

bbp-topic-started-in#forum-1 a {
background: green;
}
bbp-topic-started-in#forum-2 a {
background: yellow;
}

Could someone tell me, a) how I could accomplish this, or b) how I could present this for consideration in a future bbPress release?

[Rolling Stone]

Hello Ammalgam,

There is other way for importing topics into bbPress if you have RSS feeds from simplepress. That is using WPPipes and Auto Importing Topics into bbPress add-on.

Hopefully it could be a good suggestion for you!

When tapping on a Forum, I get “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” even when there is a topic present. I am only able to properly view the topics with one user (Roles: Administrator, Keymaster). The other users, which get the above message have roles: No site role, Participant, BUT even when I change any user to ‘Administrator, Keymaster’, they still get the same “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” message.

I did this: Tools > Forums > Relationships to Repair.

I also did this: Deactivated every plugin except for bbPress

And my theme is compatible with bbPress.

This is my site, and forums are private: http://www.nsachapters.org/forums/

This was working previously, but not sure what’s going on for it not to work now. Any suggestions?

WordPress 4.5
X Version: 4.1.1

[Pascal Casier]

None of these seems to need a bbPress update, but do cause side effects when using bbPress:

• CACHE: First of all, if you see any issues, clean all of your cache (hosting side, server side, browser side, …)
• Twenty Eleven theme breaks the layout (see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/36510)
• All in one SEO brakes: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/all-in-one-seo-pack-error/
• Crayon Syntax Highlighter: Formatting not loaded
• JQUERY: If something uses jQuery to display it, there are known issues (example of workaround in this ticket)

[John James Jacoby]

It’s actually much easier than this.

If you set words, phrases, or IP addresses in your Settings > Discussions of WordPress’s admin, bbPress will adhere. Whatever you use for WordPress comments, also works for bbPress topics & replies.

Hope that’s helpful!

[Ismail]

Thank you Pascal 🙂 !!
angelis, you’re welcome. I’ll put this into a plugin and link you to the Github repository shortly.

@kieranw7261 my best guess is you’re running an EOL PHP version which is less than the recommended (see https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)

No worries just try this instead http://pastebin.com/XBeKjRFF and let me know if it worked.

(RESOLVED)
There is a known bug in WP4.5 that’s been recently reported.
It affects the Twenty Eleven Theme only (well, so far …) and makes templates from this theme incorrectly styled when used in conjunction with sidebar widgets (overlapping).
The bug detection and working corrective action can be found HERE.

Hey, everyone. I am looking for a solution to this and not sure if it exists. My search skills are coming up short so I apologize if it’s out there already.

I would like to have a link/button on each of my posts in WordPress that would allow the user to generate a new topic in a particular bbPress forum. Essentially, it would auto-fill the title of the topic with the title of the post and quote the contents of the post (perhaps to a certain limit). The user would then be able to add any additional comments before submitting the new topic to the forum.

Now, of course you are going to ask WHY I want to do this. Essentially, the site I’m building consists of two parts. One, a discussion forum, and two, an rss aggregator that creates a new post for each article brought in from the feed. I would like the user to have the option of bouncing any article/post they think is worthy of discussion to the forum. (I’m not looking to have a discussion on every single post, and I don’t want to use comments under the post, keeping it all to the bbPress forums.)

I’d appreciate any help that would point me in the right direction. Thanks.
