Can someone please help. I have tried almost everything When ever I try to make a new topic I get the ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that? Same thing for replying. I can create forums and topics and replies manually but I can’t do it through the website. The issue still happens with the Twenty’s themes. and I also tried removing all other plugins. I am local hosting wordpress 5.2.3 using bbpress 2.5.14 and my website is craftnations.ddns.net (If you want to see for yourself). PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hi there,

I’m a fresh out of water BBPress user and I have never coded in my life 🙂

We have just set up a BBPress forum on our WordPress website and we are looking into changing what is displayed in the profile section. At the moment it’s Forum Role, Topics Started and Replies Created.
I would like to create custom fields like Company, Job Title, Area, Email, Phone Number and Website to be displayed there.

First of all, I would need to add these sections in Profile Edit tab. Secondly, find a way to display them on the Profile page.

I have to mention, I have found a way to remove Forum Role, Topics Started and Replies Created by editing plugin file bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

Also, I have just noticed that when you visit somebody’s profile page, his name is not displayed there, which would be something i would like to be displayed as well 🙂

Have anyone managed to do things mentioned above, and would be willing to share with the class? 🙂

Many thanks,
Dominik

and enable topic permissions

you could put the files in your theme directory, but unless you change them, there will be no difference on what you have now – that will require you to know and edit css files

This might be a better solution

WORDPRESS VERSION [Last checked on September 18, 2019 at 9:48 am. Check Again

BBPRESS VERSION: 2.5.14

I am using the bbpress [forum] plugin.
I do not want to use it in its default state. I want to have it maintain my site’s design.
According to what I have read [HERE; https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/ ]

to do so requires me to copy both the bbpress and the css directories
from the default folder and paste it or upload
it into the ‘theme’ directory/ folder.

Thing is I am not quite sure if I ought to paste them [ bbpress & css directories] into the wp-config.php folder
& if so where [in the wp-config.php folder] ? Is it Before or after the present info I see there now?

Hi. What is the expected timing for 2.6?

I recently installed BBPress and was surprised the latest version for installation was 2.5.14. I also get a notice that the plugin “has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.”

Performance/speed is important to me, and last I looked into it 2.6 was supposed to be a big improvement.

[RedPrez16]

WordPress version is 5.2.3
bbPress version is 2.5.14

Hello,
I am having a problem with bbPress. When I go to my forum, my welcome page is in that path. Like it is Welcome > Forum > Forum topic. I do not want my welcome page to be there. I have included a screenshot that will show what I am talking about. If someone can help me out here, that would be awesome.

Thank you in advanced!

How do I set my bbPress forums page as my home page in WordPress?

[Robin W]

bbpress expects to see a wordpress user, and if you current app doesn’t do that, then bbpress won’t work – it is hooked at every turn to user_id in wordpress.

best I can offer is

Login with Salesforce

Hello,

my bbpress version is 2.5.14
Wordpress version is 5.2.3

When a topic is created in a single forum, that topic is also displayed in all other forums aswell. So all forums include all the topics. How can I fix it?

I would add the website link, but under construction mode enabled so not accessible

[kbrennemaneab]

Thanks Robin, however we don’t use WordPress users for authentication. User management is handled outside WordPress and managed through a session cookie. I’m just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this type of setup, maybe using a hook that checks for preexisting authentication. Thanks.

[yaragad]

Thanks, i will try but it will take me a bit, as I need to understand/google some things.

Meanwhile, maybe it is easier if it is possible to use an icon instead. Like this:

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress user, so if your site authenticates to WP, then bbpress will work fine

Try this :

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

/This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Publicaciones' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Mensajes';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

If that doesn’t work try

/This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Posts' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Mensajes';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

I have tried deactivating memberpress to see if there was interference with that plugin, but that isn’t showing anything either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[Robin W]

if you have a caching plugin, or your hoster uses caching, then this can prevent the pages from updating.

see this article

Other question, assigning a forum moderator to a forum (subforum not category) doesn’t seem to work. I assigned a user by his WordPress Username.

[Robin W]

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

/This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

and change ‘old text’ to what you want to change, and ‘new text’ to what you want it changed to

So 0 settings have been edited, 0 forums created. It’s essentially freshly installed on wordpress. When I click the forums link on the wordpress admin controls page, a 403 forbidden error pops up.

It’s been almost 2 years, but I wanted to post my reply anyway because I think it can help someone.

Following @mikecostanzo insights, I built these SQL queries which repopulates the missing post_parent values successfully. Doing this a forum is reconnected with its topics, and topics are reconnected with its replies.

Remember that first, you need to import the forum, topics, and replies using WordPress importer. These actions import as well the involved users.

I applied this solution for a single forum but it can be used as a starting point modifying some parameters if required:

For topics:
UPDATE
wpmd_posts
INNER JOIN (wpmd_postmeta) ON (wpmd_posts.ID = wpmd_postmeta.post_id AND wpmd_postmeta.meta_key = ‘_bbp_forum_id’)
SET
wpmd_posts.post_parent = wpmd_postmeta.meta_value
WHERE
wpmd_posts.post_type LIKE ‘topic’

For Replies:

UPDATE
wpmd_posts
INNER JOIN (wpmd_postmeta) ON (wpmd_posts.ID = wpmd_postmeta.post_id AND wpmd_postmeta.meta_key = ‘_bbp_topic_id’)
SET
wpmd_posts.post_parent = wpmd_postmeta.meta_value
WHERE
wpmd_posts.post_type LIKE ‘reply’
