Check out bbp user online status (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-user-online-status/) a plugin I recent wrote to add online/offline statues to bbpress topics/replies.
Check in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-search.php
bbPress employs some “theme compatibility” magic to insert itself into your existing WordPress theme, and that directory is where those template parts live to try and fill in the gaps
I’m building what while be a discussion board style website. I will embed a single forum through a shortcode in each/every post.
This will allow standard WordPress navigation and give each forum its own post/page.
I will not allow users access to any part of the natural bbpress forum hierarchy (categories/forums/subforums/etc.) and will use redirects to ensure that all requests for specific forums end up on the appropriate post/page that uses the embedded shortcode.
My question: Without the need to query numerous (potentially hundreds) of individual forums through traditional forum navigation, do I still need to spread the forums out among multiple categories/sub-categories when building the forums on the backend.
Remember, no user will ever need, nor get, access to the forum hierarchy/structure. ALL forums links will redirect to the appropriate post.
Having to create a needlessly complex hierarchy/structure is daunting and would make a mess for moderators to dig through.
Just curious. Appreciate any guidance in this matter.
Thanks,
Chad Schulz
Take rest with CSS. Dont know how it looks.
Small warning. If your forum is not visited well it could look amateurish. You will have post after post, after post, avatar of one and same User/Topic author.
Same situation is if you use automatic bbPress topic from WordPress Posts.
Making bigger avatars can make things worse if you dont have many Users. For instance another tweak “last commenter avatar”. I tried all this, and if you have just one User who like to comments more than other Users, it looks boring to see enlarged avatar of this User on whole screen everywhere.
I mean easier to take it if avatar is few pixels big.
sorry for late reply, we don’t always catch all !
This plugin should do it
#https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
You can use same function for bbPress part, I believe. It is up to you where do you want to adapt it.
Or maybe “is_user_logged_in()”:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/34429/how-to-check-if-a-user-not-current-user-is-logged-in
Just checked. Ignore User plugin works well even 3 years old:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-ignore-user/
@aleksderfar
the plugin is still fresh it was uploaded to the WordPress repository 5 days ago.
making the online status location configurable seems to be on the developers to-do list.
i did see that the plugin author did reply back though.
and you did figure how to show the green/red icon , so if you could tell him how you did it to help with future development of the plugin.
this should be a direct path to the activity.php file that you would need to edit
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php
follow all the comments in here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2690
and you should see dans fix for the patch to make it work.
@Peter-Hamilton man, admin you are lying and trolling us ? 🙂
How it is possible you made something like this without experience in PHP and WordPress.
Mathematically impossible.
Thanks for the suggestion. I decided to install a separate version of WP and install forums in there – my original WordPress database got huge with bbPress.
I then imported phhBB into this site. Next I will connect this site to aMember, although I’m not sure how that will go. Wish me luck!
I appreciate that, but I don’t have FTP access. Someone asked me to put a forum on their site. It’s not my site and they don’t particularly want me messing anything up that currently works. They wanted to stick with WordPress, so bbpress made sense, but it isn’t working.
Hi –
I just installed my first attempt at bbpress and nothing is showing up in the dashboard menu. There is no forum option, no tools and no options under settings. My site role is listed as “Administrator”, secondary and forum roles as “Keymaster”.
It will be complicated to disable all of the plugins or install TwentyThirteen. Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what the problem might be? WordPress 4.1.1 & bbpress 2.5.6, running Bolid Theme (Is that known to have a conflict). Thanks in advance.
put this in your functions file
add_filter('protected_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_protected_title');
function ntwb_remove_protected_title($title) {
return '%s';
}
add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
return '%s';
}
or use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
which has a setting for this
I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 on twentyfifteen them, and bbpress 2.5.6
I’ve created a test forum called ‘A completely spurious forum’ which is set to ‘private’. But when I go there as a logged in user, the heading of the forum is ‘Private: Private: A completely spurious forum’. Where did the two ‘privates’ come from and how do I get rid of them?

I’m running a copy of the website on my laptop (Mac OS X Yosemite, Apache, PHP, MySQL) without a persistent caching plugin. I don’t think logged in users have anything to do with this problem, because we’re talking about the WordPress/bbPress internal caching functions (WP Object Cache).
I’ve also slightly modified the bbp_forum_query_last_reply_id function to accept the value of 0 and run the query and then the wp_cache_get returns the correct value, but after reverting the changes wp_cache_get again returns 0. Do I need to clear the object cache (which is stored somewhere in the options table according to the WP Object Cache docs)?
@t3_rrY — I think you’d use the mandrill_payload filter as explained here: http://blog.mandrill.com/own-your-wordpress-email-with-mandrill.html
You could add it into @korobochkin’s code. I haven’t tried it – I’m not sure how the template is handled (I don’t use them) but that’s where I start. You can also simply add html to the message in the functions above, although for anything the least bit complicated design-wise, a template would be the way to go.
I’ve just started using Mandrill; it’s great, isn’t it?
Grrrrr jetpack wordpress.com stats screwed it up
if you want use this plugin and provide use some information on how it does for your installation.
it requires Akismet, and basically it rescans all your topics and replies for spam.
the settings should be in tools > bbpress spam cleaner.
https://github.com/lenrsmith/bbpress-spam-cleaner
another tool that might help is wanguard.

I dont know what to tell you??
do you want to still use the aMember plugin with bbPress and WordPress??
or you want to leave aMember??
All i can recommend now is put all your data back in aMember and just import phpbb cleanly into bbPress.
There is not a finished PHPfusion importer from what i can see.
You might need to hire a developer to finish the existing PHP-Fusion importer for bbPress.
post a job here http://jobs.wordpress.net/
All else you can contact @netweb but im sure he will be very busy.
contact him on slack
Development
You can wait til the patch is added to core in a future release.
or you can hotfix the issue with the patch here
