is it possible to make the “Forum” dropdown menu a required field, and to require that in that drop down users choose a forum and not be able to choose “no forums” (which currently shows as the the default option).

I will create a trac ticket for this later today. It might be best for it to be required and for the default text to be “choose forum” instead.

You can create a button to your new topic page easily by using the text widget provided from WordPress, and adding this simple HTML.

<a href="http://yoursite.com/new-topic" class="button">New Topic</a>

Hello everyone,

I’m running bbpress with the BrickYard theme and I’m use the right sidebar.

Actually I was able to display the sidebar to all of my blog but the forum : I deleted the line “<?php get_sidebar(); ?>” from the file page.php then I saved it under the name of “bbpress.php”.

It works but the forum isn’t at a full width :

And I tried to get the full width but I’m not able to, after some hours I give up.

I read the documentation of the theme, there is a “template-full-width.php” within the theme but it doesn’t work because it’s page.php without the line that gets the sidebar and that I removed so the problem is still there (I believe that it should auto-resize without the sidebar but it’s not the case).

Best regards,
ananotheruser

PS : Sorry about my crappy english.

Hi, bbPress (at least version 2.5.8) uses the comment moderation words of WordPress, skipping the moderation check if that field is empty. Actually a forum could have different black list words.

I would like to ask for that feature: an hook to filter/change/enqueue moderation words before bbPress will use them, so I can create a specific configuration in a theme or like.

Thank you, Stefano.

Hi support,

http://sincebeingsingle.com/insight/topic/share-site-others/

I want to know how to add a new BBpress user role name.

I would like three roles:

– Team Member
– Community Member
– Ambassador

I would also like each of these roles to have a different colour label.

Just like this website: https://ultimatemember.com/forums/topic/how-did-you-find-out-about-ultimate-member/

I have seen a few topics about this, but these topics are from 1-3 years ago. I want to know if there is easier way to do this than changes .php files?

I have tried User Role Editor and Members plugin with no luck. These plugins add new WordPress user roles, but not BBpress Forum user roles.

I would really like to know how to do this.

Thanks again,
Kam

Anybody looking for a solution to similar need, use this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-in-sidebar/

Tables are not created , only dashboard can be viewed at admin,
forums frontend works but other admin pages can’t be accessed.
I have tried with version 2.5 and this version not worked too.
How to solve this problems.

[Martijn]

Hi,

We are using BBpress for user registration and forums we will be activating in the near future on our website. We are also using the All In One WP Security Plugin, in here is a option to rename the login page, so directly going to mysite.com/wp-admin should not work and should be mysite.com/*newadmin*

However this did not work initially, we had to log in on the /*newadmin* but still had to go to /wp-admin to gain access to the dashboard.

We disabled all other active plugins, and the problem was solved, after testing it showed that once BBpress plugin was disabled the feature worked as intended, loggin into /*newadmin* would get me instantly into the dashboard.

I’ve also requested help on their end, but since 2 plugins are involved, Do you guys have any suggestions as to what might cause this & what might solve this issue?

Any help or suggestions would be great. We just want to rename the admin part, so we are not bound to the wp-security option, just seemed easy.

Heres my initial post on wordpress.org support for all in one wp security:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/renaming-the-login-cant-enter-with-the-url?replies=4#post-7342568

We are using a fully up to date version of WP & all plugins.

Thanks to IngeT for leading with the way to map out the bad Freshness data. After cruising around the Forum, I don’t see a good answer to this. The only ticket open appears not to be addressed these last five months on this ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2414

[Robkk]

INstall this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-admin-no-show/

or just use this code.

add_action('after_setup_theme', 'remove_admin_bar');

function remove_admin_bar() {
if (!current_user_can('administrator') && !is_admin()) {
  show_admin_bar(false);
}
}

You can follow this to add a profile link to your menu.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[michaelrichardmurphy]

I’d like to add some custom buttons/functionality to the visual editor in the forums on my site. I have some working code that adds the buttons and functionality to TinyMCE in the WordPress admin for pages and posts but I haven’t been able to get it working in the editor for the forums. Here’s some of that code (exluding the actual JS) that adds two buttons (labeled braille and simbraille) to the visual editor in admin.

`//custom braille font buttons for tinyMCE
function braille_add_buttons( $plugin_array ) {
$plugin_array[‘braille’] = plugins_url( ‘/js/nba-editor.js’, __FILE__ );
return $plugin_array;
}
function braille_register_buttons( $buttons ) {
array_push( $buttons, ‘braille2000’, ‘simbraille’ );
return $buttons;
}
function braille_font_buttons() {
add_filter( “mce_external_plugins”, “braille_add_buttons” );
add_filter( ‘mce_buttons’, ‘braille_register_buttons’ );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘braille_font_buttons’ ); `

I found another post in the bbPress forum from somebody else trying to do the same thing (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hook-into-bbpress-teeny-mce/) and someone suggested applying a filter to bbp_get_teeny_mce_buttons but that poster couldn’t get it working and I can’t figure out how to adapt the already working code I have to this either. I think eventually that poster found a work around but I really need to get this working so any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m using bbPress 2.5.8 on WordPress 4.3. If you need any additional info I’m happy to supply it, just ask. Thanks in advance for any help!

Add this to your functions.php file in your child theme or functionality plugin to remove the display name changer in bbPress and also WordPress.

add_action('show_user_profile', 'remove_display_name');
add_action('edit_user_profile', 'remove_display_name');

function remove_display_name($user) { 
    
    if ( bbp_is_single_user_edit() ) {   
        ?>
        	<script>
        		jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        			jQuery('#display_name').parent().hide();
        		});
        	</script>
        <?php 
        
    } else {
        ?>
        	<script>
        		jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        			jQuery('#display_name').parent().parent().hide();
        		});
        	</script>
        <?php }
        
}

1. How can I get people visiting on the website to login in or register and view their profile? Whenever I look at my website in incognito mode, there is no sign up or register button or view profile button.

You may need to add login or register menu items, or you can use the bbPress login widget and add links to your default WordPress register page or the page you put the [bbp-reigster] shortcode.

2. If people can register, how can can that registered person create a new topic? I can’t seem to find that tab thing on bbpress on my website.

What tab thing? just scroll at the bottom of a forum you created and you should see a topic form.

3. How can I make the forum so that only registered people can reply and non registered people to only look at the forum?

I think as long as you do not have any private forums or enable anonymous posting you can do this by default.

4.How can i get registered users to unsubscribe

You are not really specific on what to subscribe to, but you can unsubscribe to forums and topics by following this guide. You can only unsubscribe to forums and topics if you are already subscribed to them though.

Subscriptions

In other words how can i make the forum on my page like the one on bbpress ?

Hard work and custom development.

[Robkk]

Try a default theme. All plugins deactivate except only bbPress.

I have no idea why you think private groups would help users to post, which should be in bbPress by default.

Make sure you users have the participant role and not something like spectator. You can check their forum roles in Users > All users in the WordPress backend.

Hi bb support,

I cant seem to work out how to change the page title of my Forum Index page (bit of a newbie).

It currently says, “Archive” but my wordpress page title is “Insight”

Please help 🙂

I think this plugin would be better for bbPress in my opinion. It works by setting up the display widget by widget though I think.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-widgets/

[Robkk]

This one is tough but it has to do with using <?php wpautop() ?>. Also know that the user description field is just a field inherited from the WordPress default profile fields.

Hi,

I am hoping that someone here will be able to help with this as it’s a rather frustrating issue and I can’t figure out why it’s happening to start with.

I have set my forum to the ‘rating level’ that will accept posts using phrases such as ‘porn’ and curse words…that being the case I was rather surprised when someone attempted to create a thread in a forum using a jokey phrase including the word porn and it wouldn’t allow the user to post. I checked the post, checked all the settings (I have no words in the blacklist – the forums are monitored almost 24/7 and we have a rather exclusive membership so I felt this was unnecessary at the present time) and there seems to be nothing amiss so the reasons for this being done are a mystery to me. I am able to add the extra words in the sentence in the CMS but this is not something I wish to have to do every time someone wants to refer to something specific like this.

Is there a reason why this would be happening?

I have recently upgraded to the latest versions of Buddypress (2.3.2.1) and BBpress (2.5.8) and also was upgraded to WordPress 4.3.

The site is set up to work with the Make template but I have tested this on the other templates and as it works when I remove a single word from the actual post I know that it HAS to be some hidden filter somewhere that I am unable to remove.

My site is found at http://www.bewitching-fiction.com

I am confused as to how to make a ‘contributor’ of wordpress automatically a ‘participant’ in the forum. How do I automate this? I am using BuddyPress, bbpress and User Role Editor plugin. At the moment even if they are a participant I have to manually go through each user and change their access to each element of the forum which, by default, is all set to ‘deny’ so that a participant can’t even see the forum.

Hello
I will use private groups for workshops of my courses. For one course there is about 500 subscriber to the private forum and I can’t imagine accepting them one by one or adding them one by one. I want them to send a request within a period of time and I need to accept all the requests with one click. Is this possible???

I’m using wordpress 4.3 and bbpress 2.5.6 buddypress 2.2.2.1

Rob, I don’t wish to be funny but I have many years of web development and wordpress experience! The cache plugin is most definitely not activated.

This is a new website. I wonder if this has something to do with servers not pointing or updating correctly.
