That plugin was updated the last time 6 years ago and compatible only up to WordPress 4.0.32. So I wrote the author if he still supports the plugin and if he does, if he could update it to the current versions of WP and bbp.

GD bbpress toolbox pro has this feature.

But if you are searching something free, there are some old plugins like this, but I don’t know if it still works.

bbPress – Report Content

[Robin W]

In essence you are allowing anyone to register in

dashboard>settings>general

one of the scourges of the internet is the race to get a site listed on page 1 of google – the sites google ranking. One of the parameters google (and other search engines) use is how many times a site is found listed on other websites. There are loads of ‘companies’ that offer to raise your google ranking, and one of the ways they try and do this is to register and add the website to their profile on WordPress sites that allow registration. Sites that allow anyone to register get known, and yes robots are then used to register.

yes, you can go in and delete the bogus users, but you’d need to be satisfied that they have not posted, as otherwise any forum posts by this user might cause the site to error.

you might be better to set the ‘screen options’ in dashboard>users>edit users to 999, and bulk delete a thousand at a time, you can then attribute content or delete it.

for future you might do better to add an approval to registration – there are several – I’ve not used any, as I have a manual registration process, but this one should do what you want

WP Approve User

[Robin W]

if you are using

bbp style pack

then

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form item 6

or if you don’t want style pack, then this does that bit

When a forum post is pinned, the color and background of the topic name changes, as well as the posting time. See this link to a picture of it.
How can I change them to make them better readable?

Wordpress 5.6, bbpress 2.6.6
It concerns this site

[megarlen]

Wordpress version: 5.6
bbpress version: 2.6.6
theme: Twenty Twelve

since a month my “forum” tab is missing from the admin left column. I can see “Topics” and “Replies” but I can not see “Forums” tab. see the screenshot: http://prnt.sc/wiyjud

also when as an admin and bbpress moderator, I click this link: “name-of-my-website/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum” I get the error message:
“You need a higher level of permission.

Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.”

On the other hand, in my website I can still see the list of forums, I can comment and write replies for them. So the data is there and accessible in view mode!

What I tried so far:
deactivate all plugins to see if it works –> did not help
deactivate and delete all the other plugins –> did not help

so I assume the database is corrupted?! but if I do not have access to “forum repare” feature, how can I fix this problem?

I appreciate any hint and advise!

best way – to write wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments/

Although the author of the plugin (Milan) regularly visits here.

[Gunivortus]

Problem solved… a solution was given in a Dutch WordPress help group.

[Gunivortus]

How can participants in the forum get to the page of their standard WP profile?
I mean the page, which looks like the admin backend, but only shows the info of the logged in user. (I have a plugin for extended registering and logging in, but I cannot open that WordPress page with that).
What can I use as a menu item to access to that page? Maybe a shortcode?

[Chuckie]

Please see this discussion:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/searching-for-terms-like-10-19/

Turns out this is a bug in bbPress. My main website search engine is fine. Just the bbPress tool failing.

Can a ticket be raise?

[neon67]

Thank you! But I’m looking for a way to apply link: data-rel=”prettyPhoto” target = “_ self” to all available bbpress images. It can be loaded in any way, it doesn’t matter.

Found the code

function add_image_responsive_class ($ content) {
    global $ post;
    $ pattern = "/ <img (. *?) class = \" (. *?) \ "(. *?)> / i";
    $ replacement = '<img $ 1class = "$ 2 img-responsive" $ 3>';
    $ content = preg_replace ($ pattern, $ replacement, $ content);
    return $ content;
}
add_filter ('the_content', 'add_image_responsive_class');

but for wordpress. Will it work for bbpress?

[Robin W]

if only registered users can post, then I’d start by looking at how they are registering – bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so how are your users joining ?

[neon67]

I want to make all uploaded pictures open as …a class=”my-class” rel=”prettyPhoto” href=”pic_address”…

I found how to filter all the necessary pictures through css. It’s like this:
# bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img, # bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img
{
display: block;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;}

Question. What to add to the css or functions so that the picture gets a link like rel = “prettyPhoto”. Once I met a solution specifically for WordPress, but now I can’t remember…
That can I do for this (through a css, filter or declarations provided by the loader for the class?)

Thanks for a possible answer.

[Robin W]

if you want the bbpress breadcrumb in the forums, then you would need to find out which theme template astra is using to display the forum page.

You would then use this template and rename to bbpress.php and add the breadcrumb back which is what I think the first link you quoted was trying to do.

This plugin will tell you which tempate is being used

What The File

and then (presuming you are using a child theme) you would copy that template (quite often page.php) and rename it bbpress.php.

you would then add

<div class="truebreadcrumbs"><?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?></div>

in the appropriate place in that file

[Robin W]

the easiest way is

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics Index Styling and tick item 16 don’t show this message

if you want to do it using FTP then

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-topics.php

transfer this to your pc and remove

<div class="bbp-template-notice">
	<ul>
		<li><?php esc_html_e( 'Oh, bother! No topics were found here.', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
	</ul>
</div>

and save (this file must exist, but we just make it empty!)

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/feedback-no-topics.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Very very thanks.

I believe that if this function were default for wordpress, it would relaunch the use of the form and help make the section alive too
comments.
it would be nice to be able to suggest it to wordpress

[Robin W]

Anyone coming new to this thread, I have added a revised version of this plugin to my site which can be downloaded from

bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online

This plugin is one which WordPress withdrew as it violated their guidelines (suspected to be listing users without login, but not certain).

You can download and use, but I offer no support or warranty that this code works !

[Robin W]

I am just a guy who sites in his kitchen and writes code for enjoyment, and I like to try and help others on the forums.

I do not get paid to do this, I have no connection with bbpress and all code (inc wordpress and bbpress) is offered under OSF, which is that it is free, open source to allow others to amend it, and offered with no support and no warranty that it does anything.

bbpress authors are free to decide what they put in their code, as am I. I do not suggest what should be in bbpress, nor do I consider that they should take any notice of me.

The topics for posts plugin has not been updated for a while because the authors do not choose to do so, that is their right, it is free code offered at the point of publishing. You are free to learn php and update and amend it as you wish.

I am not author of topics for posts, I have just been granted access as I wish to update it, which I will do when I am ready to do so.

[Ricsca2]

Article comments should be integrated into defoult’s bbpress in my opinion.

bbPress Topics for Posts

I do not understand why this function does not actually exist and wordpress mentine these two desired services. In this way today few people leave comments and few people write in the forum …
I saw that the creatre of this plugin is @Robin W so I would like to ask him why wodpress doesn’t take this option into consideration.
Also I’d like to ask why this plugin hasn’t been updated in a while.
Thanks

[Chuckie]

I think this was why:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-advanced-statistics-logged-out/

I have only just noticed this. I use the “bbPress Advanced Statistics” plugin as I like the way it presents the data at the bottom on the forum page.

However, if I “log out”, it still lists all the names of the users from the last 24 hours. That is not right. It should only list last 24 forum activity if a user is logged in. Technically it is exposing users names for a non logged in user when I don’t want it to.

Hi, due to the limit on how we can customize the forums archives page (no elementor integration, etc.), I cannot change many settings that I want to change.

Is there a way I can redirect the http://www.website.com/forums/ to a different page or change the identity of such pages, where I can make a different page with the permalink that contains “forums”?

I’m using WordPress 5.6, and I’m using the Masterstudy theme so I cannot recreate it on any of the basic themes unfortunately.

[Chuckie]

I do one of two things ….

1. I upload images to IMGUR and simply paste the URL into the topic. It magically turns into a preview when you hit Submit.

2. I use the TinyMCE toolbar. I use a couple of well known and established plugins to include the Insert Image button. What you do is upload the image to your webspace (it must be on your forum domain). Then when you insert image you paste the URL. You know if it will be OK because it tells you the dimensions. When you click OK you will see in in the TinyMCE visual editor.

I am more than happy with both experiences. My only concern is that the TinyMCE authors are only supporting version 5 of their toolbar from January 2021 and WordPress uses version 4.x. There is no agreed migration plan to get WordPress working with version 5 of the toolbar. I don’t know long term ramifications of that.

[Robin W]

bbpress doesn’t have visual editor as default

but this link to a visual link plugin might catcah attention if more request it to the plugin authirs by adding to the post

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-to-help-use-it-available-in-bbpress/

[Robin W]

ok, no idea what is causing that

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back
