@taliabarlev, have you tried any PDF converter for WordPress instead of looking for a specific solution for bbPress?

[SirLouen]

I have to say that I’m pretty impressed by the fact that GD bbPress Tools Pro plugin has sent today news regarding the update to the next big version (7.0) and Milan will be upgrading the topic and replies system to a completely separate table.

He says that this will increase efficiency for an obvious reason (indexing of wp_postmeta for such large amount of data in many forums is obviously one of the Achilles talon of bbPress).

But to some extent I feel that this will be like a “fork” of the bbPress project.

I’m uncertain if Milan is a regular user of these forums, but I would like to see your opinions on this movement. I’ve been using GD bbPress Tools for ages because it really complements well all my devs for bbPress on my forums (and I don’t have to be duplicating the code to perform most of the features that he has already implemented), but I’m pretty skeptical that this could be a major caveat for future releases and too much attachment to Milan (in case something happens to him, and considering that this is not open sourced).

I’m not sure either if he will be implementing this for the free version in the WordPress repo.

Furthermore, I may also ask this in his private forum, but I was looking for more opinions in this official forum.

PS: Yes, Milan is around as expected @gdragon

J’ai installé le pack bbp-style-pack dans les extentions, puis je l’ai activé, il n’apparait pas dans le tableau de bord de wordpress en tant que forum, il figure dans les extantions et
dans réglages, faut il installé le pack dedans le dossier bbpress ou seulement dans les extentions comme je l’ai fais, et comment démarrer un nouveau forum ?
J’ai essayé de mettre le pack dedans le dossier bbpress, mais il est supprimé automatiquement et affiche une erreur ” le fichier bbp-style-pack.php n’existe pas !
Merci de votre aide.

[Robin W]

you are using twenty twenty two theme.

install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>

and you can set to allow forums to work

[bernard38fr]

Bonjour, j’ai un souci à partir des liens crées dans le forum, ils affichent tous des pages blanche, et donc les sujets ne s’affichent pas, le forum est visible, mais pas opérationnel, j’utilise le thème wordpress twenty one amélioré </>, les permaliens créesdu forum ont l’air corrects, le plug-in wat the file indique le fichier template-canvas.php et donne désolé ce fichier ne peut être modifié, je ne trouve pas l’origine des liens crées dans le forum qui mènent vers des pages blanche dans le navigateur web, merci de votre aide.

This should be what you want

bbp style pack

Hi

With the great bbp style pack plugin, with active moderation on moderation tab, we can approve any new topic or reply from a new user

is it possible to use a shortcode to show all topics / replies “pending” (so the ones that require approval)

that would be nice for moderator to have all contents to approve at the same place in frontend

Is it something already doable with an existing shortcode ?

Thank

[Robin W]

sorry, late in the day when I looked at this. change the forum id and text you want below to the one you want. if you want it blank, then $translated_text = ''

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_must_be_text', 30, 3 );

function rew_change_must_be_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $text == 'You must be logged in to create new topics.' && bbp_get_forum_id() == 2927 ) {
		$translated_text = 'new text here' ;
	}
	return $translated_text ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics Index Styling>item 17

[Robin W]

a quote function is in

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>quotes

[Robin W]

I pulled that function from toolkit and added it to my style pack plugin.

bbp style pack

once activated go to

[Robin W]

you would need to raise this on

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-login-register-links-on-forum-topic-pages/

[Robin W]

looking at the login link, I’d guess you are using

bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages

so it would be a setting in there.

[Robin W]

You need to get this working within Cron.

2 choices

1. pay someone to write a plugin specifically for you to use cron to do this
2. use a cron plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-cron-manager/ and add the tasks in there

I suggest you go for option 2 – free and would probably be much better

[Robin W]

wordpress and bbpress registration do not have a password option or Detalles del perfil, so the layout is not from worpdress or bbpress.

It may be your social login is doing this, so layout would be with that.

[principiante]

Hi Robin,
Don’t Understand what exactly do you mean with “bbpress or wordpress registration”.
I’m using miniOrange social login for users that want to login with their google or facebook account.
I’m login to wordpress as admin, from wp-admin.
How can I check that?
If I disable some possible “conflict” plugin, layout will change?!
Thank you!

[Robin W]

you are not using the bbpress registration, or wordpress one, so you have something some custom registration maybe using your theme or a plugin

Hi

When i paste a wordpress post link on bbpress, it creates a nice box with featured image & link

but when i paste a topic link, it just creates a grey box with link inside

is it normal ?how could i get something better ? (with author / date etc) is it possible ?

Thank you

[Robin W]

Interestingly I also tried using the shortcode [bbp-stats] in a test page and that reported the correct number of topics despite the individual forum count being incorrect! How can that be?

I should start by saying that I am not a bbpress author, just someone trying to help

the [bbp-stats] shortcode does the wordpress function
wp_count_posts( bbp_get_topic_post_type())

so actually counts the number of topics in the database.

the forums page calls a function bbp_get_forum_topic_count in \bbpress\includes\forums\template.php

This looks up the number held in the forum’s post meta under _bbp_topic_count (which you had already worked out)

so how did you delete the post which caused the numnber to fail back?

[Robin W]

I take no responsibility for this, but maybe

Delete Orphaned Post Meta Data in WordPress

or

Advanced Database Cleaner

Hi there,

Since I installed the GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin I no longer see my WordPress media library.
I deactivated the plugin and it comes back but cannot find the parameter in the plugin to reactivate it.
I need your help.

Thanks.
