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

once activated go to

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.

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

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

[Robin W]

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.

Hi, first of all sorry for my poor english!!
I recently installed bbpress on my wordpress site.. now I have a question
I have 5 topic in my forum and I want to send each topic notification to one user, for example:
topic 1 -> send notification email to mail1 @ site.com (or user 1)
topic 2 -> send notification email to mail2 @ site.com (or user 2)
and so on ..
how can I do it?

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’

bbp style pack

[fawp]

Hi everybody, first-time poster here.

I have just installed WP and bbPress on a local host to evaluate the forum functionality.

I added a couple of forums just to see what they would look like and the default view looks really, really small and unnatural.

This weird forum view is substantially the same even if I switch to a different default theme.

I could not find any tools at a glance to increase the font size for instance.

Is this simply the way a default bbForum install is supposed to look like and do I need to install additional plugins to customize its view, or is it more likely that something went wrong during my install?

Since I can’t seem able to upload an image here to illustrate, I have uploaded one on ImgBB, here is the link

Edit: screenshot is at https://ibb.co/X8dsH7S

My versions:
WordPress 5.2.2
bbPress 2.5.14

It’s on a local Ubuntu installation.

Thank you

I am attempting to convert my message board to bbPress, but have run into a problem trying to convert the database. I get the following errors:

Repair any missing information: Continue

WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'users.user_website' in 'field list']

No users to convert

Starting Conversion

There are two problems I see. One is that it’s having trouble converting part of it. The other is that it says there are no users to convert and there are a ton, so what do I do?

[Robin W]

yes, that is helpful

so this code will add a user to private group 1 on paying membership, and take them out on cancellation

add_action( 'digimember_purchase', 'digitest_purchase', 10, 4 );
function digitest_purchase( $user_id, $product_id, $order_id, $reason )
{
    switch ($reason)
    {
        case 'order_paid':
        // handle paid orders here
		update_user_meta ($user_id , 'private_group' , '*group1*') ;
        break;

        case 'order_cancelled':
        delete_user_meta ($user_id , 'private_group' ) ;
        break;

        case 'payment_missing':
        // handle missing rebilling payment here
        break;
    }
}

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

Then set up forums so that group 1 users can access the forum, and everyone else just see it

[schossie]

Yes I will not do often back end deletions 🙂 but the problem is that even if I dont the forum stops working suddenly… That is what happened. In one moment I couldnt access the posts anymore, that I have written or other people, but just minutes before I could.

So the forum is not usable like that! What do I do in such a case? Do I need to abandon bbpress? Do I need to start from scratch and uninstall bbp and reinstall again?

Would a manual wordpress update help?
