I kicked this around for some time, but I cannot see how to get bbpress working with a block theme.

I have raised a ticket on trac.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3458

[Robin W]

This is all part of WordPress’s mission to make it’s software totally unusable.

It has been reported to the bbpress authors.

Hi,

I have created a forum using bbPress and uploaded the ForumPress theme. I have not made changes to any core files. I have added 1 snippet to show Advanced TinyMCE Editor for all users in frontend. At first or after adding that snippet too, Whenever I post a duplicate content/topic, it shows as Duplicate Topic detected. But after WordPress Update to 5.9.3, it is not showing any error messages and accepting the duplicate topics, replies, etc.

I have tried all solutions from your forum and other websites, nothing helped. Please help me resolve this issue.

[Robin W]

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

The theme here is in

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

Most of the widgets in here are also available in

bbp style pack

[Robin W]

hmmm…

Possibly a theme or plugin conflict

Hi Harry here,
You need to visit this page to get solution of your problem.

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-push-footer-to-bottom-of-page-without-covering-content/

[Robin W]

untested, but this should work

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_post_date', 'rew_date_only' , 20, 6) ;

function rew_date_only ($result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time ){
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

		// 4 days, 4 hours ago
		if ( ! empty( $humanize ) ) {
			$gmt_s  = ! empty( $gmt ) ? 'G' : 'U';
			$date   = get_post_time( $gmt_s, $gmt, $topic_id );
			$time   = false; // For filter below
			$result = bbp_get_time_since( $date );

		// August 4, 2012 at 2:37 pm
		} else {
			$date   = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $gmt, $topic_id, true );
			$result = $date;
		}

		// Filter & return
		return apply_filters( 'rew_date_only', $result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time );
	}
}

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

WordPress 5.9.2, bbPress 2.6.9, http://musgravelandingstrata.community (private site)

How can i control whether a topic, after being submitted, is held for moderation?
Also, how can i ensure that forum moderators are automatically notified (via email?) if a topic is held for their moderation?

Ours is a small and private community site. There’s no reason for posts to be held, but we’ve noticed some are. Recently, some of my posts, direct copies of rich content from an email i received were held. I’m thinking it might be related to some type of formatting unknown to the editor but i’m not sure…

thanks for your help!

Oh you’re right i thought it was specific to bbpress, if it is standard wordpress login i will find a plugin for that thank you 🙂

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress login.

But since you can stay logged in, any plugin which would log users would need to activate on each page and do a database write, which might be site affecting (or not!).

Any wordpress login visit plugin would do the job, but I suspect there are precious few – but google around and if you find one with a shortcut to display it should be easy to hook up.

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile

Hi Robin,

Sorry for slow reply, just picking this up again.

So, I see what you are saying but it is this page where I need to inject the content:-

I think what you are saying is, it will add a description into the individual forums.

So, I tried your suggestion and set up a custom page, with the shortcode in WordPress default editor as it wouldn’t work with Divi! Added the text above, does the trick.

Thanks for your help,

Hi

The wpforo creator says there is no tool for this :

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/migrating-from-wpforo-to-bbpress-3-3/

[Robin W]

This function should do that – change “mysite.com/login” to where you want it to go

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $text == 'You do not have permission to view this forum.' ) {
	$translated_text = 'This forum is visible only to this group members, please click <a href="mysite.com/login">here</a> and sign up for this group';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

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

Hello everyone,

I have been using simple membership + BB press to create forums only for members. Now when nonmembers click each topic, they would see the following message:

“PRIVATE, You do not have permission to view this forum.”

I would like to customize this message and say “This forum is visible only to this group members, please click here and sign up for this group” something like that. I reached out to Simple Membership and I was told to inquire BB press and/or use Loco Translate plugin.

Also, can anyone tell me how to make anonymous topics?

Any input will be greatly appreciated. I am self-taught and I have no coding background so a detailed explanation will be appreciated 🙂

Here are the details of my website:
WordPress 5.9.2 running Roseta theme.
BB press Version 2.6.9

Thank you!

the actual timing is always much later, but you can look at the tickets to see what is in the releases

For wordpress.com?

Hi there.

The BBPress Moderation plugin has been discontinued.
Is there another way that we can approve Topic replies made by other people?

This is SO IMPORTANT. Please.

Thank you.

Wordpress Version: 5.9.2
BBPress version: 2.6.9

bbpress uses the WordPress moderation

dashboard>settings>discussion

but you also might like to look at

bbpress moderation tools

[DeepBlue]

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

[Robin W]

or use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display item 6

this will add any text you put in

dashboard>settings>forums>all forums>edit forum and in then content section – so you can put the link in there

[Robin W]

if you create a wordpress page with the same slug as your forum – typically ‘forums’, and put the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

this should then look like the existing forum.

If so, then before the shortcode add a block in which you can put text or a link or whatever you want

I’m just looking for any ideas on how to debug this. I don’t see how it would be a bbPress problem, but on the BuddyPress forum they basically said “Ask bbPress and GeneratePress.” So I’m doing that.

WordPress 5.9.2, BuddyPress 10.1.0, bbPress 2.6.9
(I haven’t upgraded to BP 10.2.0 yet, but I don’t see any fixes that seems to apply to this.)
It happens “once in a while” since upgrading to BP 10.1.0. (Four times since March 9th.)
It *might* be related to email notifications (mentions?) in a bbPress closed topic.

I agree with you, but i tested bbpress with the top 20 wordpress themes, and confirmed that user profile and search pages were not detected by any theme

all other pages are detected except those 2

it’s like those 2 pages don’t belong to the same template than other bbpress pages in the core code
