I’m using a paid wordpress theme. I can modify code if that is needed. I haven’t changed any bbPress theme thus far. Thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

have you tried

Private groups

I have wordpress member login enabled on my website, and I want to remove the default bbPress login. I looked at bbp Style plugin but I can’t find a way to remove the default login.

Here is the link to the problem: https://www.shabdaacademy.com/forums/forum/life-sciences-forum/

There are two login mechanisms – 1. my member login, and 2. bbPress default login. How do I remove 2?

Thanks

https://wpgyan.com/auto-refresh-wordpress-pages-and-post/ is the best I can suggest

Hi Robin,

Thank you very much for replying!

Ah yes, so it’s the ‘forum index’ page that is displaying a different style to all the other pages.

I’ve used the short code: [bbp-forum-index] on the forum index page that I made in the WordPress ‘Add New’ page.

I’ve then linked the url: http://findgyms.co.uk/forums/ to the ‘Forums’ button in my header.

I hope this answers what you were asking?

In regards to the explanation in the linked item 8.. Well, that was a learning curve! I didn’t even know how to access the WordPress database but now I do!

If I’ve understand it correctly, this header issue is possible as the ‘topics’ pages in the forum posts have the correct header styling but the ‘index’ does not – from the description this says it could be due to the index page using the ‘about’ page style instead of the topics using the ‘posts’ style.

After looking in the database I think that the forum index page is using the correct ‘Astra’ theme, but not showing the correct css for my header that all my other pages are (even the ‘About’ page).

So I don’t think I would need to copy and rename the page.php file to bbpress.php (unless I wanted bbpress theme to be different to the astra theme – I think I’ve got that correct, if not apologies!)

I really appreciate any further help with this as this is becoming quite confusing for my extremely novice brain 🙂

Thanks,

Tim

Hello all!

I’m using WordPress with the plugin bbPress slightly modified by me for my use.

So far, so good.

The only thing I’m stuck at, is the fact that for certains functions to appear (like Approve Reply, Close Topic etc.) I need to refresh the page, otherwise the buttons won’t appear.

How can I implement a sort of a function in order to refresh the current page just after I clicked on it?
So that basically when I enter this page, it gets automatically refreshed (and so the buttons will appear).
I’m talking specifically about the Topics / Replies page, I really need to refresh the page over there.

Thank you!

Here is a different plug in that does a reasonable job:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

After installing it, go to discussion settings and then set it to create a forum topic for each post, copy tags, etc. Then you have an option to apply settings to all existing posts.

I tried this on a test site and it worked pretty well. It did not do all the bookkeeping of reply counts correctly, but it did create appropriate topics for each post and import the comments and replies to them. Local bookkeeping services

It is also reversible as it does not delete either the posts or comments — if you deactivate the plug in your posts (which were unchanged anyway) and their comments are intact. You do still have a bunch of new topics in your target forum.

yes, I also removed the add-in

Hi there,

Please bear with me here as I’m new to all this css stuff! I spent all of yesterday trying to find out what is going wrong..

After installing BB Press in my Astra Theme my header background colour, site title + tagline and sub menu + button have lost their formatting (or maybe more correctly termed style?).

You can see here:

http://findgyms.co.uk/forums/

This is compared to the header background colour and site title/tagline formatting in all my other pages (for example):

Home

This confuses me even more because the forum topics have the correct header formatting like all my other pages:

General Discussion

As I couldn’t understand where this issue lies I posted on the WordPress forum who then directed me here to ask the question 🙂

I’m building the pages through WordPpess dashboard as per this video example:

I’m using Elementor to build all my other pages.

Can anyone help please?

Many thanks in advance,

Tim

p.s. I would like to add even though I’ve literally spent 8 hours trying to figure this out I think bbpress is an awesome addition so thank you to whoever put it out there!!

bbPress – Moderation Tools

shows pending to author and admins and sends emails to admins

[Robin W]

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

and you can set up emails in HTML

if you are technical, then the code is in that plugins includes/functions_emails.php

Hi,

I can’t get the login form to login. All it does no matter what you type in is redirect the user to the WordPress login page.

Home

I setup a test user… user and pass are “test”

I’ve tried everything and I’m baffled….

[bricktram]

I have copied this across from the WordPress support site on the suggestion of someone on there due to the problem only developing after trying to install bbPress on the website I manage.

“I have recently been adding a members only area to a website that I manage and have so far not had any problems until I tried adding a forum. I don’t know if it is plugin related for the problem to come about, but disabling the plugins to see if one of them is causing the problem doesn’t seem to fix it.

When I try to edit some pages or posts that have already been published, I sometimes get a ‘403 Forbidden, Access to this resource on the server is denied!’ error when I click on the ‘Preview Changes’ or ‘Update’ button. I only get this with certain posts or pages. I have tried to re-create the same pages that get the error from scratch, and have found that the error only happens when I include a link that opens in a new tab.

The existing version of the posts and pages are working fine, and I can edit everything okay. I just can’t preview or publish any post or page that includes a link that opens in a new tab.

I use the ‘Classic Editor’ plugin for editing posts and pages. I also have the ‘s2Member Framework’ plugin for the members only areas. This problem seems to have come about today after installing the ‘bbPress’ plugin to add a forum to the site.

The last time a post was successfully published with a link that opens in a new tab was on the 31st May and the only change I have made since then is installing the ‘bbPress’ plugin this morning (13th June).

I’ve tried looking at various troubleshooting suggestions, but none of them seem to fix it.

Edit: Since posting the above, I’ve been looking at some of the other posts and pages and it seems I can no longer see a pattern to which ones I can edit and which I can’t. I had thought it was something to do with the code for opening links in new tabs or windows due what I mentioned above. Now I can’t see any obvious similarity between which ones I can and which I can’t edit.

Thanks in advance for any help.”

[wrapson]

OK Thank you for that. If the problem was in the WordPress good word/Bad word list can you tell me where I’d find it ?
Grateful for your help.

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress looks at

the WordPress block list
no. links

in that part of the code, so maybe worth asking paid memberships if they do any checking.

Otherwise without site access, I can only guess that another plugin is doing something.

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress just uses WordPress moderation, so do you have anything set in

dashboard>settings>discussion that could be affecting?

[robertherold]

Hi,

We have been looking for a solution for a long time to mention a user in bbPress.
I found a mention plugin for WP comments. Maybe it’s a little easier to filter things out of this than from BuddyPress and make a mentioning plugin for bbPress…

Comment Mention

[robertherold]

I have installed wordpress, bbpress and BNFW in a new directory and the error persists:
If I edit the email address on the bbPress profile page, WP will send a confirmation email.
If I edit the email address on the admin page, BNFW will send a confirmation email.

Oh, I see you found the BNFW support page 🙂

[Robin W]

what roles are you set to

WordPress role admin
bbpress role keymaster

are needed

[Robin W]

Typically this is from a link in an email

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription emails

and select item 2 and choose which login they go via

[Robin W]

this is a known bug, in some cases particularly with sub forums, or when posts get marked as spam this can happen.

Try

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

what wordpress roles are assigned ?

[Robin W]

sorry was trying to answer quickly over the weekend – should have read dashboard>settings>forums !

The current situation appears to force them to become registered users of WordPress rather than a registered user of my bbPress Forum.

so yes, by ticking the participant role, then when they register, they will be given the participant role when they first log in, and have access to the forums

[megatill]

Thanks, Robin W, for your reply but I do not think that helps with actually registering!

I have NO EXISTING users, but I do want to be able to have them register to become a user!
The current situation appears to force them to become registered users of WordPress rather than a registered user of my bbPress Forum.

The only option I have when I view dashboard>forums is to create a new forum – I see no “roles” or “settings” under that view.

However, under dashboard>settings>forums I see the opportunity to set a role.
I have ticked the Automatically give registered visitors PARTICIPANT forum role which was previously unticked.

By ticking, have I given them access to my Forum when they use the registration link?

Thanks again!

[Robin W]

you can do this by amending a template in bbpress (which I’ll helo you with if you wish, but requires FTP knowledge)

or you could use

Private groups

you would set up 2 groups

say group 1 teachers
group 2 students

in dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>group name settings

then in

dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>topic permissions

you’ll actually see an example of how to do this

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress accounts.

so if you want your existing users to use bbpress, then set the default role in dashboard>forums and the next time they log in, they will get this access.
