Hello, I am using BBpress(2.6.9) on my website(WordPress 6.0.3) with Divi theme(4.18.0). When using any widget/shortcode of BBpress, as well as when trying to search the Forum, the header section I created with Divi changes its shape on the next opened page, it looks completely different and messy – the section size decreases, the menu items are arranged at the bottom, the font colors change, the logo becomes huge.

I contacted Divi support, but since they don’t even know what BBpress is, they didn’t know how to fix the problem and advised me to contact “BBpress customer support”:
– “So it seems like the archive template in the plugin is not working in the same way as the standard single post. You can clarify with the developers what template they are using and how it can be changed to make it work in the same way as the single template, at least the general header and footer parts.”

As desperate as I was, I didn’t want to pass without trying. What is the cause of this problem, how should I solve it? Has anyone experienced this problem or know of a solution?

After weeks of trial and error my import from simple press to bbpress is finally done (YEY!) after some hours now.

And now I have this table: wp_bbp_converter_translator containing 900.000 rows(!)

Can I delete this, or does bbpress or wordpress take use of it now or will it do in the future?

[Robin W]

no, I need to see what is being downloaded to your browser.

alternately :

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back

I’m having the exact same issue with the newest bbpress and wordpress, trying to import from simple:press.

I have used this tool some other time, on older versions, and then in started at least.
Did you ever find out why it doesn’t start, or did you give up like I’m about to do?

[Robin W]

Just written this – should work

add_filter ('bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form' , 'rew_limit_replies') ;

function rew_limit_replies ($retval) {
	//set limit
	$limit = 5 ;
	//get replies for today
	$user_id = get_current_user_id() ;
	$reply=bbp_get_reply_post_type() ;
	$today = getdate();
	$args = array(
		'post_type'=> $reply,
		'order'    => 'ASC',
		'orderby' => 'ID',
		'post_status' => 'publish',
		'posts_per_page' => -1,
		'post_author' => $user_id,
		'date_query' => array(
		array(
			'year'  => $today['year'],
			'month' => $today['mon'],
			'day'   => $today['mday'],
		),
		),
		
		);              

	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
	$count = $the_query->found_posts;
	if ($count>=$limit) $retval = 0 ;
return $retval ;
}

Just amend the line ‘$limit = 5 ;’ to whatever number you want

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

your theme is hiding the bbpress breadcrumbs in

https://renaloo.com/wp-content/themes/digiqole-child/assets/css/custom.css line 2281

This function will add a reference to the breadcrumb

add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_topic' , 'rew_forum') ;

function rew_forum () {
	echo '<div class="rew_forum">' ;
	$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id() ;
	$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ;
	echo '<a href="' . esc_url( bbp_get_forum_permalink( $forum_id ) ) . '" class="bbp-breadcrumb-forum">' . bbp_get_forum_title( $forum_id ).'</a>' ;
	echo '</div>' ;
}

At a guess, I’d say that bbPress, like WordPress, uses oEmbed to embed media. WP maintains a list of oEmbed providers whose URLs will automatically be converted to media embeds. The URL in your screenshot looks like it’s a custom CDN hosting an mp4 file, which likely can’t be converted this way. To test this, try using a YouTube video’s URL instead. You may use WPTrains forum to understand further.

[Robin W]

the 2022 wordpress theme is a block theme, and doesn’t support bbpress out of the box.

Install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

Im using BBpress Version 2.6.9 and WordPress version: 5.9.3 and i’m working on my localhost.
I have followed the documentation (method 2) and I keep ending up with the same issue. The Forum page has the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode which works fine, but when I click on the forum I created it returns a blank page.

URL structure that returns blank page:
mysite/forums/forum/test-forum/

I have removed every plugin except BBPress and tested this on the 2022 WordPress theme and still no luck, any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Using bbPress to add a forum to your WordPress websites is the easiest method. It is the best forum plugin for WordPress and comes with all the features you need to set up and manage a discussion board online.

[erossini]

In my WordPress website, I added bbPress. When you are in the forum in the section _Support_ and you open a topic, you see this

In my point of view, the user experience is not great because the user doesn’t know where he or she is. I like to add a full breadcrumb like

> Forum > Support > Test video

How can I add this?

Thanks Robin. Tried what you recommended and still ahve the same problem. I am running WordPress 6.0.2 if that matters.
I installed per the directions and added it to the menu in my wordpress site as it did not appear that I needed to create a seperate page for it. What is strange is that if I log into my wordpress site, go to “Dashboard” then go to Visit Website” and click on “Forum” (as above) it comes up! It just does not work if anyone (including me) tries it from just a web browser, either chrome or Microsoft.

Hope someone can help with this. It’s frustrating 🙂

following closure of the ‘bbPress – Moderation Tools’ plugin, I added this code to my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated you’ll find the moderation tools in

dashboard>settings>forums

[Pete]

I am using WordPress 6.0.2, bbPress 2.6.9 and my forums are located here.

I have what I would have thought was a fairly common requirement: I (keymaster/administrtor/moderator) simply want to receive an email notification if a post requires moderation, rather than having to ‘manually’ monitor the Topic/Reply lists through the forum adminsitration screens to see if moderation is required.

It seems that the ‘bbPress – Moderation Tools’ plugin used to do this, but this plugin appears to no longer be available. I have installed ‘bbPress Notify (No Spam)’ 2.17.6 (bbPNNS), but I seem only to be able to configure this to notify me after the post has been approved, not before, when moderator action is required.

My problem is not a fundamental problem with notifications. I get email notifications when new users register or when they change their password, and I can configure bbPNNS to send email notification when new topics are posted, but I cannot see how to configure something that will send an email notification when a pending post (Topic or Reply) requires the attention of a moderator.

There appears to be a plugin that will hold all posts for moderation, and send the desired email notification, but I don’t need, or want, all posts to be moderated.

I have posted a similar request on the bbPNNS support forum, where this post suggests that this is a standard feature of the bbPNNS plugin, but I cannot see how to configure this capability and thought I may need to be asking my question in a broader forum.

Can anyone point me to a suitable plugin or instructions on how I might be able achieve this?

[mkopp1103]

Hi,
I Am trying to move the whole forum to another wordpress install and can’t figure out how to do it. How can there be migration options for so many other forums, but nothing to migrate a current BBPress Forum to another site?
Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

Thanks a lot!
Max

from bbpress or a wordpress registration I believe, so if you’ve signed up to worpdress to log say a call in other pkigins

I have installed the BBP Style Pack and was able to increase the font size and bold for the Forum and Subforum Titles in the list, but I can’t get them to change in:
– Topics Index under each forum
– Topics and replies

I have changed the font size to 15 and bold in:
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics index styling>item 4
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics index styling>item 13

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics reply display>item 6
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics reply display>item 10

But the changes don’t appear in the forum.

The forum is private, but here are screen captures of what they look like:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y7Dk5151LNwtJ08BdQE-kWAZ75Iya-Um/view?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/19ALhYmhEj2EnqFJl5KOwpj_jcG-xdD2V/view?usp=sharing

I am trying to increase the size/bold the list of topics in the index under each forum and also to increase the size of the text in each of the topics.

I’m using:
WordPress 6.0.2 running Twenty Seventeen theme.
BBPress Version 2.6.9
BBP Style Pack Version 5.0.8

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

[Robin W]

that’s basically the code which can be added to a functions file, or using

Code Snippets

[Robin W]

not quite sure what your question is.

but try

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs

where you can set which breadcrumbs show and where they go to

I found this ticket, and have added that link to it

[Robin W]

bbpress uses wordpress moderation settings in

dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation

Set keywords up in there, and bbpress will moderate using them

[Robin W]

by default you do not have to approve

bbpress will hold for moderation items that Akismet deems to be spam, that wordpress has for moderation in dashboard>settings>discussion>before a comment appears and comment moderation

You might also have additional plugins that are causing moderation
