Hi everyone,
I’m still very new to wordpress but i’m quite liking it so far beside a few bugs i’m having.
I’m building a discussion forum right now and i’ve noticed that if I create more than 6 child forum the parent forum link stops working, and then add one more and the first child forum link will stop working, then if I add one more, the first 2 stop working etc.
Anyone has an idea how to fix this?
my site is landlordexchange.ca if you want to test it out

@siparker @natesirrah Thank you both for your work on this plugin! Any news on where the current project stands? I’ve just used siparker’s github plugin and it seems to be work, but if there’s a better, improved version, I’d love to know about it and/or help test it.

I’m working on migrating a site that I’ve had up for just over a year, from Joomla 3.4 to the current version of WordPress. I use Kunena forums, and by making some slight modifications to siparker’s plugin on github, I was able to set my bbPress URLs to match the structure Kunena uses, namely:

forum/forumName/topicID-topicName

(I don’t think they actually use forumName, topicName, etc., that was just the easiest way for me to write it out)

so that when my forums are set up like this:

Forum = Final Fantasy VII
Topic = Cloud’s Limit Break

I have, for example:

forum/final-fantasy-vii/143-cloud-s-limit-break

I should tell you that the only experience I have with php is a couple of 4-hour courses on udemy (in other words, not that much…) Still, by very carefully changing or removing one line at a time, I was able to produce the desired result.

One thing that didn’t quite work out, though, was forums within a top-level category. For example:

Top Forum = Square Enix
Child Forum = Final Fantasy VII
etc.

The URL for the child forum is now

forum/square-enix/final-fantasy-vii

and I want it to be

forum/final-fantasy-vii

The interesting thing is that the topic “Cloud’s Limit Break” still shows as

forum/final-fantasy-vii/143-cloud-s-limit-break

which is the URL structure that I want, when someone clicks on a topic, so I’m happy with that.

But I can’t seem to figure out how to remove the parent or top level forum from the forum URL.

Everything I’m doing is on localhost, as I don’t want to change my site over to WordPress until I’ve got all the details worked out, and I’m brand new to web development so I’m not sure exactly how to share my code with you guys, or if I need to share it all or perhaps just a part of it? So if you can help me with that, I’ll be happy to share.

Meanwhile to any bbPress devs following the thread, I want to say thank you for all that you do, and please consider making this permalink option part of the bbPress core!

I have been wanting to move from Joomla to WordPress for months, as I tend to believe that WordPress is overall easier and better for me and my users, and one of the few things that’s prevented me from making the move was the lack of options in bbPress permalinks. I strongly agree that the URL for a topic should include the name of the forum that topic resides in. (Or at least, admins should be able to choose that option, if they want it.)

[Scott Hartley]

I feel like this should be directed to their page..

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack

I will say though that this is a common issue with bbPress and BuddyPress when it comes to SEO tools. They need to find a way to get proper meta descriptions and titles without borking everything :p

[evanevans333]

Ok, on the above theory, I got it to work. Well the functionality anyway. I still can’t seem to mod the caps of Participant role.

But, what I did was use the plugin: “bbp private groups”
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
and set the forums I wish to be private, to PUBLIC (ironic and backwards that is) in the bbPress Forum Attributes for a Forum, and in “bbp private groups” assigning the Subscriber role to the bbp Private Group “role” of GROUP1 (which I aptly named Subscribers). Additionally you need to set a user to that GROUP1 and select the option in “bbp private groups” to add users to that GROUP1 anytime they login (or you can manually in bulk update everyone (or just those matching a particular role) to have that permission).

[evanevans333]

I’m starting to get the feeling, that because Forum Roles are not meant to handle Forum privacy (as per the bbPress spec), that I am supposed to set their privacy to Public and use some kind of FORUM PRIVACY plugin to make sure the content doesn’t get leaked out to Google and anonymous web surfers. Is that the intention of bbPress? It seems that’s all we got to work with. Participant role is not supposed to be for wordpress Subscribers apparently. You need to become something else, to read topics and replies inside forums marked private, and I guess shouldn’t mark a forum private with bbPress unless it’s supposed to be private for Moderators and Administrators.

That seems so … ridiculous if you pardon my French. That Forum Roles are not for forum privacy, but more for Forum administrative privacy.

If I might back up for a moment, what I’m trying to achieve, is that Forums that I set to Private, contents are not visible by anonymous/bots/spiders, but are visible to registered users of the website (Subscribers, which I can set to automatically default to the Participant Forum role inside bbPress settings). It seems a sane, rational, logical concept. But I do see that this issue has been going on for YEARS.

As always apologize for my English, it is a translation from google translator. Searching google I got an answer of course to bbpress forums.

The patch works, provided that the issue of the response is made by the author. If it is effected by a moderator or administrator keeps repeating in the line of activity

I looked directly into buddypress forums, but as is almost always the subject had no answer, linking to the core or incompressible explanations and as always in this forum recommend hiring a developer and close the issue. It seems that they forgot the essence of wordpress: Community.

In fact it seems that in the future buddypress will be absorbed by bbpress. It’s just my appreciation and sorry to say nonsense.

WP 4.6
bbPress 2.5.10
Buddypress 2.6.2

The patch works, as long as the issue is made by the author.

I’m returning a value #ffffff in number 3 and # ed6136 value in the number 5 but the number 3 does not apply, it put color number 5.

[titis14]

The number 5 also changes the color of my link (date, user ..)

Is it possible to transfer a freeforums.net forum to bbPress?

I am working with an organisation who created a freeforums.net account a short time ago and have convinced them to use WordPress, but we need to get it transferred over.

Thanks.

[Robkk]

There might be a bug, because on GlotPress everything is good, its just not in that Dashboard widget.

We do ditch our own dashboard widget and merge the stats into the Default Right Now Widget in WordPress in version 2.6 though. So in the future this hopefully won’t matter.

Will contact someone for help.

[evanevans333]

I came across this in a thread.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-for-bbpress-rolesWould that be somehow useful? Probably not.

/**
 * FORUM - Role map
 * bbPress has its own internal ("dynamic") Roles, so we map our real wp roles to bbPress.
 */
add_filter('bbp_get_user_role_map','my_bbPress_role_map');
function my_bbPress_role_map($role_map){
	$role_map['student'] = bbp_get_participant_role();
	return $role_map;
}

I’m returning to WordPress after years and found bbPress as a potentially good option to convert an old forum while converting the site to use WP. What I specifically need because of user mandate is threaded topics but they need to be in a specific layout. The default for bbpress when I enable threading, is kind of a hybrid flat/threaded. What I’d like to achieve is to have the individual posts display on a page with the thread below in the form of a thread of links to those posts/replies within the thread. This is specifically what my established users are accustomed to and what they demand. The forum goes back almost two decades (original threaded forum styling) and many of the users are original members so they don’t want any fancy, newfangled flat forums…

I’m confident that I can create the database script to do the forum migration of posts/thread/users into WP/bbPress but need some insights for achieving layout issues. Can I get some help / insights for achieving this layout? Thank you in advance.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Hi, can anyone help?
I cannot find the answer to my query from searching this forum and google.
At the moment, people need to enter a name and email to post a topic, or reply to a topic, on my forum (http://psychiatryadvice.com/).

I would like to replace that with what they have at this forum: http://www.econjobrumors.com/
They seem to generate a random 4-digit code for each person posting. I am aiming for anonymity in my forum too.

Does anyone know how I can do this please?
Thanks very much!

I’m using:
Wordpress v 4.5.3
bbpress v 2.5.9-6017

Hello
would it be possible to give a different name on the class “bbp-forum-title between a class and a forum.
I should put a white color on the title of the forum, but suddenly the title of my class would not be visible.
thank you

[Robkk]

Here is a setup that might work. Although not really for a ticket system in my opinion and just a support forum.

A free theme to use.

WP Knowledge Base

Plugins that could help.

bbPress Resolutions or Buddy/bbPress Support Topic

bbPress Notify (no spam)

bbPress Auto Close Topics

[Stephen Edgar]

This behaviour changed in WordPress 4.6, it now loads WP’s translations first by default

See https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37819 as there is a proposal that will address the issue, if you like you can also click “Watch this ticket” and you’ll get emails when there are new updates on the ticket.

When you add Forums inside a category that category contains a hyperlink and when you click on it, it goes to a page that shows all of the Forums in the category.
I am trying to remove that link from all categories.

For example:
You have a category called Web.
Inside Web you have the Forums: WordPress, SEO, Programming

When you go to the BBPress page (http://www.YourWebsite.com.au/forum) you will see…
Web
WordPress
SEO
Programming

Currently Web links to http://www.YourWebsite.com.au/forums/forum/web which then displays
Breadcrumb: Forums › Web

Forum:
WordPress
SEO
Programming

I hope that made more sense

[Robin W]

yes if you use bbpress/buddypress, but add my private groups plugin, then you can add groups which can have separate access to some forums, and if wanted common access to others

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups

[smartfinds]

Hello,

We are looking to setup a WordPress website in which we are bringing Group A together with Group B to exchange knowledge.

Since this is WordPress we were investigating bbPress, BuddyPress, and something like CM Answers.

Anyone have any experience being able to separate registered users into specific groups using any of these plugins?

Thanks for your help.

[larry11557713]

Hello

Thx a lot for your help!
I have now updated my Website from wordpress but it still doesn`t work ;(

where would you change the language? at my wordpress desk? the desk is german already… 🙁

thx!!!!!!

[Robin W]

I presume that you are wanting different logged in users to see different things?

If so you can restrict who sees what using my private groups plugin

When using a translated bbpress, some titles in the WordPress Admin Dashboard for “Right Now in Forums” are missing. Where can I check this in the code?

Here is a screeshot http://prnt.sc/ccs85f

Using bbPress 2.5.10-6063

[Bingo Bongo]

Hi –

(For our forums here – http://www.zetaunit.com/forums/ – W.P. V 4.5.3, using Avada 4.02)

I see in the documentation that it is possible to replace the default bbpress wordpress template for

the Forum Root Slug ‘Forums’

by adding a page in WordPress called /forums/

and then inserting the bbpress shortcode for forum archives.

I tried this also with ‘forum’ for individual forums, and I see other Slugs available in Settings > Forum

Single Forum Slugs

Custom slugs for single forums, topics, replies, tags, views, and search.

Forum
Topic
Topic Tag
Topic View
Reply
Search

Am I missing something, or is there a simple way to replace each of the pages used by bbpress by default, just by creating pages named e.g. ‘topic’, ‘topic-view’ etc? And then insert the relevant shortcode for that content?

It seems like ‘it should be there’ but can’t find documentation apart from customising my child theme etc.

Thanks in advance 🙂
