though old, this plugin still works

bbPress – Moderation Tools

[Stephen]

what is the best way to get notifications of new comments from newly resisted users to the forum?
Do I need to login each time to WordPress or should I receive an email telling me of a new comment so i can monitor. Maybe there is an app?

bbPress:Version 2.6.6
WordPress 5.5.3–ko_KR

[benjaminblue]

I have a WordPress user who is an administrator and set to KeyMaster, but when logged in with that user I see the forums and the topics in the WordPress dashboard, but I still don’t see the forums link. Also on the plug-ins page there is no settings, or the same settings link that would be in the main settings dashboard menu is not there as well.

And somewhat related maybe, I have created user accounts in the past that I’m pretty sure I was able to assign as a KeyMaster but lately when I create a new user the highest level it will let me choose in the drop-down on the new user profile page is moderator. Does anyone know what I missing?

[Robin W]

try

dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – that resets the permalinks

If that does not work, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

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 within content you can use

How to filter bbpress content in WordPress

but if at the bottom of ‘bbpress’ pages, then there are a bunch of actin hooks you can link to

do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' );
do_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_loop' );
do_action( 'bbp_template_after_replies_loop' );
do_action( 'bbp_template_after_user_profile' );
do_action( 'bbp_template_after_search_results_loop' );

should get you most of the way there

*** FIXED***(kind of)*** I know it’s been 8 years since this was active but I’ve been banging my head for DAYS trying to figure this out and HERE’S THE FIX!!!

Download the plugin BBP Style Pack https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/ after activation go into style pack settings open the “Freshness Display” tab – check the ‘activate freshness display’ box and then change the freshness format from default to display the date on the last post. Save changes and that’s it. If you leave the setting on default it will not work. You will have the same problems. It needs to be changed to ‘show date of last post.

I HOPE YOU CAN RELAX NOW

[Robin W]

@bodybyloud the old version might work for you if you are not using blocks if you add this

add_filter( 'bbppt_eligible_post_types', 'rew_add_types' ) ;

function rew_add_types () {
	$types = array( 'post', 'page', listings' )  ;
return $types ;
}

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

This should do it if I have the right yoast meta name

add_action ('bbp_new_reply', 'add_yoast_title' , 10 , 7) ;

function add_yoast_title ( $reply_id, $topic_id, $forum_id, $anonymous_data, $reply_author, $false, $reply_to ) {
	$topic_title = get_the_title ($topic_id) ;
	$title = 'Reply to:'.$topic_title ;
	update_post_meta ($reply_id , '_yoast_wpseo_title' , $title ) ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

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

but instead of hello put & # 0 3 9 ; but without the spaces – sorry wordpress keeps interpreting the code so best way I can get it in here

sorry, there are 300,000 users of bbpress and you have found a couple of instances where users found an issue.

In one advice was to troubleshoot the problem, and the user never came back, in the other one user found that it was a wp mail plugin.

I appreciate that you ae frustrated, but ‘this same exact issue 5 and a half years ago? Is this issue still not fixed?’ is not going to endear you to the free support offered for this free product.

As a first instance, please do the troubleshooting :

it could be a theme or plugin issue

sorry, bbpress works on themes that comply with the some old wordpress conventions, and nowadays 90% don’t so most don’t.

No-ones fault, wordpress themes have moved on faster than worpdress 🙂

[Robin W]

you might do best by installing

bbp style pack

and use that to style the forums

[Robin W]

so you would set the default role in

dashboard>settings>forums to be ‘spectator’ and then wordpress login hook to wp-login or init

add_action('wp_login', 'xxx', 10, 2);  which passes '$user_login, $user'
add_action('init', 'xxx');

your function then would check date current user registered, and if over a month, change the role to ‘participant’ using

bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, bbp_get_participant_role() );

[wpturk]

I don’t know it this helps and I did not test it with bbpress.

This plugin finds and deletes unused tags:

Mass Delete Unused Tags

[Robin W]

this plugin lets you do that (if I understand your question)

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs

if you want to do it programmatically your self look at the plugins functions file

includes/functions.php

around line 607 onwards

[mgg1000]

bbPress 2.6.6
WordPress 5.5.3

When users turn on the option to “notify me of follow-up replies”, if the reply is from a user with forum role = Keymaster, the user does not get the email notification that there has been a reply. However, if the reply is from a user with forum role = participant, the user does get the email notification that there has been a reply. Any thoughts on what I have set incorrectly?

[Robin W]

@erich199 and @bodybyloud – I have now had a look at the code.

I’m presuming both of you are using wordpress with blocks (ie the newer block editor rather than the classic editor) in posts and pages – I can see that this would not allow you to add topics for posts to new (or amend existing).

But it would allow the display in posts for old ones.

Is this what you are seeing ?

If so I think I can help, if not – can you explain further what is not happening

On the fresh wordpress site without Elementor, I added Elementor and changed the page to an elementor page. In that case, Elementor didn’t strip out the tag.

On the built-up site I disabled all the plugins except Elementor and the tags still do not appear. So perhaps it is a certain setting in Elementor that is causing the problem …not sure. Obviously I can’t state with 100% certainty that Elementor is causing the problem but I’ve spent so much time with this that I cannot continue testing. I’ve decided to just go ahead with the workaround of manually inserting the tags when I create the Forum Description.

I would definitely avoid Elementor in the future on any site that I’m developing entirely on my own. I feel that for me it adds too much unnecessary complexity – opening the door to bugs that take too long to find.

ok, so I can only suggest you do some issue finding

Did you really mean “theme folder”? The theme is “Hello Elementor” and there’s no bbpress folder in there.

The version of the bbpress plugin is a fresh version that I installed myself this week.

Other plugins installed (by someone else) on the site are:
bbp style pack
WP Forms
Elementor – Header, Footer & Bocks
Essential Content types
Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights
Jetpack
OptinMonster API
WPForms Lite
Yoast SEO

[patrick_here]

UPDATE:
Robin, I just tested this on a fresh wordpress install (ie: without Elementor) and I see that the tag is there !!!

So this leads me to believe that Elementor must be stripping the tag.

I cannot give you a link to this install because it’s on my local workstation (with a LAMP install). The tag I’m seeing at the forum description is: bbp-forum-content

[patrick_here]

This is the interface I’m talking about. That’s what I see when I click “Add New” [Forum] (with minor differences). The Forum Title gets entered into the “Enter title here” box. I’m saying that any text entered in the large post text area below …ends up showing up as forum description in the Forum index …but it shows up without tags of any kind.
