I use the newest versions of wordpress, bbpress, buddypress and the Responsive theme.
I can’t find a way for participants to add more than one link or picture to forum posts or replies without the posts going into moderation. Where can I set the threshold? Is there any plugin for that?
Moderators can do that.

[Robin W]

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

function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        'Forums' => 'Forum'						
             );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );

No size restriction, actually bbpress is much lighter than Invision, Xenforo etc
And i would add :
use LiteSpeed Cache : best cache for WordPress (and even better if you have a LiteSpeed server)

[Robin W]

No restriction in forum size – this site uses bbpress with 130,000 odd topics. Server capability is of course key to any response time.

Bbpress just uses wordpress login, so you will need to look at how that is done with wordpress.

[debcat24]

Hi,
I’m considering this forum plugin for my site, is there a restriction on the forum size ?
Since this is integrated with WordPress core, if we have quite a large forum wouldn’t it make the site very slow ?
I also have the intention to mirror this site and therefore will use a different domain, does this forum plugin accept cross domain login and access ?

[Robin W]

not sure that will help – as I stated in the fix, this is neither bbpress or elementor problem – just 2
plugins that try and help wordpress but don’t totally work together.

[SirLouen]

Have anyone found an alternative to the plugin bbpress moderation tools that have recently closed in the wordpress repo?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/

[Robin W]

ok so let’s try the standard fault finding

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and my fix plugin 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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

[Robin W]

that line allows the result to be filtered

so this should work

add_filter ('bbp_topic_tag_tax_id' , 'rew_return_null') ;

function rew_return_null () {
return ;
}

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

Hello guys. Technically I’m not very good at web stuff. I opened a wordpress based website. I have a licensed “Sahifa” theme. Everything is fine on the site, but my site is very “thin” on desktop platforms. There is no adjustment in the page settings for this. Especially when accessing from high-resolution monitors, the left and right sides of the site are blank. I hope I was able to explain. There is a css code etc about that. is there?
Thanks 🙂

ok, so next I’d test whether you email service is working correctly

How to Fix the WordPress Not Sending Emails Issue (+ Tips on How to Fix It with Most Used Contact Form Plugins)

[Robin W]

bbpress is very scalable, wordpress with around 55,000 plugins (each one with it’s own forum) uses it for their support.

bbpress just uses the wordpress custom post type and posts table in the database.

issues on a very large site will be due to the time to perform database searches, and this is really down to server performance rather than bbpress inherent issues.

[nobu1]

Hello,
Question 1
I want to set the comments to max “100”.
I want to delete old comments automatically.
I’m going to manage thousands topics, but it’s very hard to remove manually.
Also, if you leave more than 100 logs, the database will be destroyed.
Is the setting the possible?

Question 2
IThe max comments is 1000.
I want to change it to unlimited. I use with Question 1, and I want to set the permanent system.
Is the setting the possible?

Question 3
Is it possible to create of tens thousands topics? How many a max number?

Bug report

If you change the WordPress permalink, the “comment edit” URL changed the permalink. And, Edit URL is an error.

[billy835]

Hello, does anyone know the max number of forums/categories and subforums you can have on a single WordPress site before it becomes unstable? Does anyone know where you can find best practices for structuring forum and subforum hierarchy? For my project I will likely start with ten categories, which will each have three subforums or categories, which in turn will have two or three layers of subforums likely resulting in several hundred subforums on the site. I don’t have a live site to link to yet and will be using most recent versions of WP and bbPress.

Hi ecollart,
you must put in your function.php in your theme folder

function filter_pll_check_canonical_url( $redirect_url, $language ) {
    if(strpos($redirect_url, '/edit/') !== false && strpos($redirect_url, '/forums/') !== false && strpos($redirect_url, '/reply/') !== false) {
        $redirect_url = str_replace('/fr/', '/', $redirect_url);
        $redirect_url = str_replace('/en/', '/', $redirect_url);
    }
    return $redirect_url;
}
add_filter( 'pll_check_canonical_url', 'filter_pll_check_canonical_url', 10, 2 );

and you must modify inside the folder topic of your bbpres plugin the file template.php

from

// Pretty permalinks, previously usedbbp_use_pretty_urls()
// https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3054
if ( false === strpos( $topic_link, ‘?’ ) ) {
$url = trailingslashit( $topic_link ) . bbp_get_edit_slug();
$url = user_trailingslashit( $url );

// Unpretty permalinks
} else {
$url = add_query_arg( array(
bbp_get_topic_post_type() => $topic->post_name,
bbp_get_edit_rewrite_id() => ‘1’
), $topic_link );
}

to

// Pretty permalinks, previously usedbbp_use_pretty_urls()
// https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3054
if ( false === strpos( $topic_link, ‘?’ ) && strpos($topic_link, ‘/fr/’) == false  && strpos($topic_link, ‘/en/’) == false ) {
$url = trailingslashit( $topic_link ) . bbp_get_edit_slug();
$url = user_trailingslashit( $url );

// Unpretty permalinks
} else {
$url = add_query_arg( array(
bbp_get_topic_post_type() => $topic->post_name,
bbp_get_edit_rewrite_id() => ‘1’
), $topic_link );
}

[Robin W]

add this plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

and if there is no keymaster, it will say so and let you set one.

once done, you can decativate and delete the plugin, or have a look at the useful features 🙂

[ecollart]

Hello,

not being programmer, I can’t use this as it is but can this be used to help in my case to restore the edit and delete function from the topic top bar menu when using Polylang (FR and EN) ?

I am pushing at Polylang free support too but no luck so far … would be good to have Polylang and bbPress to talk together as being 2 big actors in WordPress…

Sorry if the question seems obvious to you …

Thanks for your help

Eric Collart

Ps: I can provide access to test if useful…

[DeepBlue]

Actually i cannot compare as i cant download the first one (not available on the WordPress plugins anymore)

[DeepBlue]

You mean the plugin you recommended first is better than this one ?

By the way look at this : this guy seems to have solved a real issue

[DeepBlue]

Do i need to use this solution (7years old)

Or has it been fixed since then ?
Thanks !

[DeepBlue]

Hi

I am using this plugin and it works well

I have just one problem about links

the same problem as this user : https://wordpress.org/support/topic/links-in-signature-do-not-work/

and i also tried in bbcode but it doesnt convert to a link

but i would prefer html as most users are used to html

of course a visual editor would be great, is that possible ?

Tx a lot !

Hi Robin

About this plugin :

Private groups

I would like to make sure before installing it that it wouldn’t mess with my ecommerce theme profiles

I think it only applies to forum roles, but i prefer to ask before just in case 🙂

Thanks a lot for your great plugins 🙂
