Hi,
Just to close it here in case somebody else would look for it, I have it implemented in bbP toolkit (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/). Still need to review Robkk last update, but for now it works.

Hi ChrissiLisa,
You would have to check with the support of that plugin, but from what I know the plugin uses the standard WordPress media library, so images are uploaded where wherever media library is set to do it.
Pascal.
@nmschaller,
In the end, did you manage to get most of the things done ? Just for your info, I see that some things you request are in my bbP Toolkit plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/) already and some others (like securing profile page) will be in there soon.
Pascal.
Hi,
I just want to make you aware of an error thrown by WP Debug mode. Everything still works fine though.
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in …\wp-includes\functions.php on line 3622
Hope that helps,
Ben

If you don’t want to add yourself all the functions for the breadcrum, you can find them also in my bbP Toolkit plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/).
Pascal.
This is a known bug. This might be resolved in the next release of bbPress though.
There is a workaround listed in the ticket also.
A workaround is to select the topic(s) to restore and use Bulk Action to restore.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2734
I bet you just closed the topic as well and the color of the text is a gray color that is hard to see.
Use this CSS to fix that.
#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #aaa;
}
You do not have to use the bbPress shortcode for registration, you can use alternative plugins for frontend forms if you want.
Do users need to register with the forum first to see the content of a post?
bbPress by default has nothing that would hide the content of a topic post. It will make a whole topic hidden if the forum is private and the user is not logged in, and the topic and forum could also be hidden if it is a hidden forum.
If you want a menu item for registration you can create a custom link to the default WordPress registration form, or if you have another plugin that adds frontend forms you can link to that page if you want.
Question really is: how does a user of the educational material get to see the forum questions/posts?
It really depends on the LMS plugin you might be using with your bbPress forums really. By default though a sticky/closed post should be kind of visible, the gray is hard to see sometimes.
Use a plugin like this to hide any bbPress pages if the user is not logged in. It hides the bbPress feeds too.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-members-only/
And you do not have to make a topic private if the forum is private. Make sure to make the forums private by going into Forums > All Forums and editing them from there.
Edit: Just saw I pasted the wrong url haha sorry
Hello everyone, I am new to bbpress and slowly working my way around lol
I’ve modified template.php to add the text “You are here:” to the breadcrumbs to match the breadcrumbs for the rest of my site, but I’d prefer to use a function to make these changes instead. The problem is I cannot wrap my head around the proper code and nothing I have found through searching has worked so far.
Can someone help me with this please?
My site: http://www.lissyhunnybee.com/discussions/
I have the latest versions of both wordpress and bbpress and am using the Darling theme which is a child theme of Genesis/Studio Press.
Thanx in advance 🙂
Hello
I’ve a wordpress site with WP 4.3.1 with buddypress 2.3.4 and bbpress 2.5.8.
In the forum we have topics which are being used as profiles i wanna use the forum ranks as extra avatar.
I also want to add en avatar which can be uploaded by the user it self.
How can i do that with this combination or it it impossible?
I’ve search for plugins but i couldn’t find any one compatible with the current wp version.

Hi,
Not sure how far you want to go, but I’m using https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/ to shield forums from unwanted users.
Pascal.
Try running the repair tools one at a time in the WordPress backend in Tools > Forums to see if this can fix that issue.
@shawnsauce
Was the forum ever in a BuddyPress private or hidden group??
Did you ever use another private group plugin and make that group with the forum private?
Has the forum ever a private or hidden forum??
Does this only happen in your current theme?
Have you tried disabling all plugins except bbPress to see if the issue persists?
Have you tried running the repair tools one at a time in the WordPress backend in Tools > Forums.
Troubleshooting
Also I am testing with this theme and I am not getting this issue, I think there must be some setting somewhere that is making the forum not be visible in the search results.
Hi desert-rover,
Are you looking for a database query to run directly towards the database ? Or are you looking for a piece of PHP code using bbPress and wordpress functions ?
Pascal.
Unfortunately not, only just moved to a VPS server from wordpress managed, and I’d completely forgot to run backups manually. I installed a DB backup plugin yesterday now taking backups every few hours.
Emailed you! Thanks 🙂
Sorry for the late reply, I just approved your post…because I saw you link to it in your other topic.
The max execution time error is very common to see when running a process that takes an amount of time.
You need to increase the max execution time, you can follow this guide to help you learn how.
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-fatal-error-maximum-execution-time-exceeded-in-wordpress/
Also the slugs shouldn’t cause that issue.
Topics imported but not showing up after importing vB.
You can see topics show up here (http://www.maddengurus.com/topic/madden-2015/) but not here http://www.maddengurus.com/forum/madden-general-discussion/
Also get error in repair screen only when trying to “Recalculate the position of each reply.” Error states: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in wp-includes/functions.php on line 3207
Browser window also goes blank when I try the following repair alone: Remap existing users to default forum roles
Thanks for any help.
WordPress version 4.3.1
bbPress version 2.5.8

Sorry for the late reply, I just approved your topic.
What I think is happening is somewhat bbPress default styles related and possibly the main font color in your theme. From what I can see you know have a plugin that adds custom styles for the bbPress theme (bbPress New UI), and it does help a little with the issue.
If you want contact me, and I can help you with most of the styling issues you are facing.

No where near that many replies. Here is forum I’m trying to import: http://www.maddengurus.com/forums/forum.php
So last night I remembered I made a backup in Updraftplus plugin before I tried ever imported anything into bbpress, and so I restored it, ran the import as a fresh import, and it seemed like it all worked and then ran into the problem I posted about here: https://bbpress.org/?post_type=topic&p=168081/
So I restored the wordpress database again, and this time decided to check off the purging option just to be safe, and it’s back to doing trying to delete stuff into the millions, ie: Deleting previously converted data (1342100 – 1342199), etc.
So apparently even restoring to a backup before all this happened wasn’t enough to get a fresh start.
Do you have a backup saved before Sunday?? You can try restoring a backup you may have to see if it fixes the issues you are getting.
If not, I guess you can email me some login details for a subscriber/participant account so I could check the reply issue out.

This could be your host adding an extra security layer to your website. You may need to contact their support team.
Following this guide could help too.

Some emails could be caught in a spam folder. so maybe try installing this plugin to fix that by not using bcc. Also this functionality might make it into core someday.

Also know that the subscribe turns into an unsubscribe link. If you are subscribed to the topic, it says Unsubscribe. If you are not subscribed to a topic, it says Subscribe.
Hi!
I have made a forum on my WordPress website. Someone tried to register but he got this error:
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn’t understand how to supply the credentials required.
To test it, I have used an old mailaddress and everything worked just fine. Is it his computer which is causing the trouble or is it something else?
Hi Pascal, thanks the these links. However those addressed the problem seen in WP REST Api version 1 and version 2 is the refactor code for WP REST API which will eventually go into WordPress Core. Version 2 is what I’m using and it doesn’t work as explain in those blog.
I’ve changed the loop-single-forum.php template file so that the frontpage contains all the forums on a single page. It look like this.
I’m also trying to implement a plugin called bbPress Unread Posts v2. It’s placing an icon before every forum title to notify the user when new posts/topics have been made in a forum.
As you can see in the template I’m firing bbp_list_forums() to list the forums. However this function does not fire the action bbp_theme_before_forum_title which means a plugin won’t affect these lists of forums.
I can imagine I need a manual way to list all forums so I can fire a do_action. But how would I be able to do that?
