Hi,

In the bbpress index page, the top row shows:

homepage-title > Forums > Forum-title

How could I change homepage-title here? bbpress seems to take this from the title of the site’s default page. Is there a way to put a different text there (or remove the homepage-title altogether)?

Thanks,
//György

Hi,
I don’t think this is bbPress related, right ?
If not, then you’re better off on the wordpress.org support forum
If it IS related, then please explain how you see that in the bbPress context.

Thanks,
Pascal.

Hi all,

I am running wordpress 4.5 and bbpress 2.5.8

Recently, one thread on my forum has started redirecting to the first page (not the last page) in the thread. Therefore once posted the user needs to click on the last page to see their post.

All other posts are fine.

Here is the post.

I updated the permalinks, and ran all of the bbpress repair tools, but no change.

Any help would be appreciated!

[Gunilla]

After the todays (13/4) update to WordPress 4.5 link doesn´t funktion in the bbPress edit box.

Is a bbPress update coming to solve this problem?

Hi Guys,

I got the problem, that bbPress is not splitting the posts in different pages when there are a few answers. For example: http://germansimracing.de/community/thema/dauerstartnummern/

Is there anything to setup or what could be the problem? I updated WordPress a few minutes ago to the newest version. bbPress and all other plugins are up to date, too.

Thanks in Advance for your help! 🙂

Hi,
You seem to have a memory issue, nothing to see with bbPress. Your limit is set to 64MB and you need more.
I will have to refer you to https://wordpress.org/support/ where somebody can help you increasing your memory limit.

Hello,
I am using this plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smtp/

I am trying to change the sender name and sender email address for BBPress. I have successfully done this for BuddyPress, but all the code I have tried for BBPress or all the code I have seen in older topics, is not doing it for me.

Can you please recommend some code that I can change the sender name and sender email address?

Thanks.

For WordPress, could you confirm it’s 4.4.2 ?

Try to switch to a standard theme. If that does not help, switch off all plugins (except bbPress), check that the error is gone and switch them on one after the other to see which one goes in conflict.

Pascal.

There are many type of chat rooms boxes. Some prefer it as you mentioned, a floating chat or embed in the chat. Once I added a chat GoDaddy forced me to remove it as they do not like chat rooms in a shared server. So I was forced to use a hosted service chat room.

What was important to me is that I could chat in a group as well as private using a video chat. Now there are not a lot of options with respect to video chat, but I used a chat room (a floating one on the right side on the lower part of the chat) that uses WebRTC technology that is basically means it will work good on PC (chrome & dd) but not in mobiles (tried it in my iPhone).

@sidebarissue

The bbPress sidebar that you see having the issue, is from your theme. bbPress does not have code in it for a bbPress specific sidebar.

You haven’t checked and made sure to see if it was in your theme by switching/testing a default theme.

I still haven’t tried switching to the twentytwelve theme because I don’t want to lose all of my settings for my current theme.

You can try your current theme and a WordPress default theme in a local installation on your cpu to see where the sidebar is coming from.

Hi,
With my https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/ you can protect your forums for new topics.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

For caching, multiple plugins exists. See my response here for some extra info, but I’m not an expert: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/should-i-set-up-my-forums-on-another-ms-subsite-to-improve-site-speed/

For the subscription:
If a person is subscribed to a forum, he will get all new topics
If you reply to a topic and tick the box at the bottom, you will get the other replies to this topic.
But I’m not aware of a possibility to get ALL replies to the full forum with just a click …

What I have in my bbP Toolkit plugin is the possibility to tick the box by default so that you get notified for new replies.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Because it’s not bbPress causing this. What plugin do you have for memberships/roles/capabilties ?
What version of bbPress and WordPress ?

[sidebarissue]

Hey guys,

I’m having one issue that I can’t seem to figure out. I’ve looked everywhere but I can’t find anyone with the same issue. I’m using the Be Theme with bbPress, and my sidebar widgets (for the forum only) aren’t showing up. When I drag the widgets onto the Plugin | bbPress sidebar, I get an empty sidebar. When I put the widgets in the footer or on a different sidebar (like the blog or even the footer), they work fine. The people from Be Theme say bbpress is fully compatible with Be Theme so I’m a bit confused.

Additionally, I’ve tried deactivating all plugins besides bbpress and that didn’t help. I also ran the forum repairs and nothing happened. I still haven’t tried switching to the twentytwelve theme because I don’t want to lose all of my settings for my current theme.

Have any of you ever encountered this before? I figured I’d try here before trying on the Be Theme forums.

MY ACTIVATED PLUGINS (even though I said my plugins aren’t the cause of the issue)—————–

– Add Meta tags, All in one SEO pack, bbpress, bbpress report content, bbpress login register, contact form 7, duplicate post, force regenerate thumbnails, gd bbpress attachments, gd bbpress tools, google analytics, google xml sitemaps, jellyfish counter widget, jetpack, layerslider wp, mycred, newsletter, related posts thumbnails, slider revolution, user role editor, wordpress popular posts, wp smush, wp user avatar, wpbakery visual composer

bbpress v2.5.8 and the latest version of wordpress. Additionally, I’d rather not give my website name publicly, but I will give links to a mod if they need it.

Here is a screenshot of the site so you can see. There is a sidebar active (once I delete the widgets the sidebar goes away obviously).

Thanks in advance

I want to link a group to a forum which exits,

So I checked it and set a forum name (first one below ‘Customer Center’) in group forum box and save

but then check in the checkbox is disappeared

at last, I found that if I modify the group forum settings in the group page setting in backend,
the setting sustain, even though I click or not group forum setting in the group setting option in in frontend.

I tried with default theme twenty-thirteen and KLEO.

Is it normal or bugs?

– frontend setting page :

https://www.miinfra.co.kr:44373/infra/groups/%EA%B3%A0%EA%B0%9D%EC%A7%80%EC%9B%90/admin/forum/

– Backend setting page :

https://www.miinfra.co.kr:44373/infra/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-groups&gid=588&action=edit

wordpress ver 4.42
buddypress Version 2.5.2
bbpress Version 2.5.8

It kind of is both, the issue is caused by some CSS that becomes useless after it uses li.bbp-body that seems to not close properly, breaking the markup when threaded replies is enabled. The avatars going to the top left corner is caused by absolutely positioning the avatar when it reaches about 480px.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2823

A possible workaround for this would be to have a horizontal forum layout.

This stylesheet has an example of the horizontal layout I was talking about. You can Place the file in a folder called css in your child theme to see how the layout takes affect. I have not tried it with 2016 theme yet though so I do not know how it will do.

Well not a bbPress specific plugin, but there are a few plugins that can work with custom post types (bbPress uses custom post types).

A plugin I found and tested is called NS Featured Posts, but like I said many other plugins could possibly work too.

After installing the plugin make sure to go to Settings > NS Featured Posts and make sure to add the topic custom post type from bbPress in the plugin’s settings.

Now we can go to Topics > All Topics and see a new column that says Featured. Make sure to click the checkbox near the topic you would want to feature.

Now we are going to make a custom view to display these featured topics in a topic list, and also be able to display them in pages with a shortcode.

Add this php code snippet into your child themes functions.php or insert this snippet into a custom plugin like functionality.

This function displays about 10 featured topics on a single page, change 10 to whatever you want.

function rkk_register_featured_view() {
 bbp_register_view( 'featured', __( 'Featured Topics' ),  array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes', 'posts_per_page' => '10', 'max_num_pages' => '1'), false );
}
add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'rkk_register_featured_view' );

Now in a custom page or widget area that has a widget text area that can handle shortcodes, insert this shortcode.

[bbp-single-view id='featured']`

I’m using WordPress Version 4.4.2 and
BuddyPress Version 2.5.2
Site: http://www.greenvillespinners.com

I’m not receiving emails for new topics. I have tried everything. Disabled plugins, checked and am not using noreply@… I’ve checked and changed the settings one by one. Still can’t get anything.

Set up another account with another email to test with. Sometimes, only sometimes I will get an email from the other account if they start a new topic. But if I (as admin) start a new topic, the other account doesn’t get an email and neither do I.

Notifications of emails to and from that account work fine.

Please help!!! Thank you.

So I thought: I have a MS installation, why not put the forums into their own subsite (subdomain). Noone will notice if I use the same theme and let the menus crosslink the sites. (Except those who actually look at the URL.)

My question is: Would you do that, too? Because it seems, people in these support forums only ever try to migrate their forums into their blog install, not the other way round. Which, as I would expect, would make things much slower on their end.

You can do that. You do not have to run a blog and forum on the same site. You can just use WordPress for content management on your bbPress forum only sub site.

[hosam020]

Pascal thank you once againe.
i am using WordPress Version 4.4.2
bbpress 2.6-alpha
but i post in forum -> in 2 sec i refresh forum page in another window the post is there but why it’s takeing long time to redirect me to the post page up to 20 sec ?! is it notification or where to read in the functional

[Stephen Edgar]

Yeah, I’m actually thinking it might be best to require the user (me) to manually move the images directory from the old site to the new site. Then, maybe just use the xenForo URL to the image to display it in the post. It “should” be safe since xenForo reduced the images based on admin settings when they were originally uploaded. Just some random thoughts from a guy not looking at import code. 😉

I can add a “generic” that would change [ATTACH=full]872[/ATTACH] to generic URLhttps:/example.com/attachment/872, you could then manually change thehttps:/example.com/attachment/part of that to anything you want for examplehttp://surveyorconnect.com/attachments/` and have that folder on your server serve up the attachments from there?

I’m wondering if https://bbpress.dev4press.com would actually cure some of the bbcode issues automatically.

We actually use a pretty comprehensive BBCode library already during import it converts a huge amount of common BBCode code to native HTML for us, I think you’d find there are only a handful of custom BBCode’s not covered by this library and is why I add them manually.

p.s. I haven’t packaged up a new release with the changes just yet, but you can always get the latest version (with the above updates) from:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/XenForo.php

At the bottom of that page is a link to download the file in “original format” and that will get you the file, the link is dynamic and changes each revision so that’s why no direct link.
