Hello,
I’m loving wordpress and trying to love bbpress, I think I’m very close to getting there. I have a large phobia community I’m working to convert to bbpress.
On my Forum list view the alignment of the Topics and Posts (also called Voices and Replies in the stock install?) looks good.

But on the Topic view, the alignment is off and pushed over to the right. Is there any way to fix or control this alignment issue?

You are correct, the string Last comment, Topics/Replies are NOT bbPress strings, these strings will be in either the theme you are using with custom bbPress templates or a plugin you are using.
As a side note, WordPress 3.9 and bbPress 2.5 and above versions no longer need define(βWPLANGβ, βtr_TRβ); in wp-config.php, and coming in WordPress 4.1 you can select your language from in WordPress settings π
The biggest advantage of the above is translations will be included when you update WordPress or bbPress, the only condition to receive the language packs automatically is that the language pack is 100% translated, if that is the case then translations are automatically delivered. π
It would be amazing if you could help get the Turkish locale 100% for bbPress π If you use BuddyPress that would also be awesome, WordPress is already 100% π

Hello,
It has been 2 years since I couldn’t resolve this issue.
I have a bbpress forum installed on my wordpress site. http://www.outdoorhaber.com/forum
The site is in Turkish.
Some information for you to eliminate errors
I added define(‘WPLANG’, ‘tr_TR’); to wp-config
I exported https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/tr/default po and mo files
I renamed the exported files to bbpress-tr_TR.po and bbpress-tr_TR.mo
I put those 2 files both in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages and wp-content/languages/bbpress (I tried to put files only in 1 of the folders and vice versa, but did no good)
I am about to have a complete brain meltdown, just because of bbpress language issue.
The weird thing is; I download bbpress turkish files from various sources. 1st the official project page (by exporting), then some people translated the files.. I want to translate “Last comment” but there is no match (nothing to translate) in po file. (The one exported from here https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/tr/default)
Come one please export a po file from the link above, and ctrl+f “Last comment” in poedit. You will see, there is nothing to translate..
Here is a screenshot for what I mean

Here are my po and mo files
http://www.outdoorhaber.com/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-tr_TR.po
http://www.outdoorhaber.com/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-tr_TR.mo
The reason why I gave so much detail is to eliminate unnecessary “did you do this, that” replies.
Please someone help me.
When I imported bbpress forums into wordpress, some posts had html code remaining. This is very simple code like <p></p>, . Is there a plugin that will clean up this simple html code in the posts?
this seems like some custom development to achieve this.

i think maybe noinexing images , and not putting images in your sitemap might fix it.
it will noindex images on your blog posts too though, which indexing images is pretty good for SEO.
at least if you want people visiting your website from an images section in a search engine.
im not sure enough about this since you might be using a certain plugin to even deliver attachments to your forums.
i recommend hiring a developer to fix this issue.
highlight and search this link in google

see if this helps, copy the link and search google
github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout
download the .zip file and upload the loop-forums.php file to your bbpress folder in your child theme.
you create a category by create selecting new forum in the WordPress backend and changing the type to category.
to put forums under each category make sure all the forums you want under a specific category has the parent as that category
the docs should help out alot for learing how to use a child theme for your bbPress installation

Thanks. I’ve checked out Discourse, but I was hoping to stick with WordPress.
Anyone else know about this?
Well, what I want in wordpress is:
add_action('delete_user', 'delete_posts_and_attachments');
function delete_posts_and_attachments($user_id) {
$args = array (
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'any',
'author' => $user_id
);
// get all posts by this user: posts, pages, attachments, etc..
$user_posts = get_posts($args);
if (empty($user_posts)) return;
// delete all the user posts
foreach ($user_posts as $user_post) {
wp_delete_post($user_post->ID, true);
}
}
But where and how can I delete posts from bbpress? any help will be appreciated :\
its the ip address of the current user
to know for sure search this in google: whats my ip address?
and then it should show it there
the ip addresses only show for admin users
its there so you can ban the users that are spam , human/bots
you can ban them using WordPress comment blacklist in settings>discussion
bbPress uses some of those settings too.
use this css to remove it.
span.bbp-author-ip {
display: none !important;
}
More specifically, does anybody have working group forums that are not using the WordPress default permalink settings?
I have BuddyPress group forums on my site, but the topics will only show the first page. In other words, the topic pagination does not function properly, and my guess is because I am using “post name” for my permalink settings.
I just was wondering if ANYBODY has functioning group forums because I can’t find any examples.
The CKEditor Plugin makes it possible to use CkEditor with WordPress comments on articles (frontend). But there is no option to integrate it with bbPress or BuddyPress as I already mentioned. Either the plugin should offer those options or bbPress/BuddyPress. That would be great.
For now, mybe there is a core hack to get CKEditor into bbPress.
I am using CKEditor prior to TinyMCE with WordPress (up to date version). The editor works within backend for writing a new WordPress article. There is a plugin for WordPress which will integrate the CKEditor. I would like to use CKEditor with bbPress to create new topics in Forum (frontend) or comment on Topics, but couldn’t find any solution to integrate it.
I really like the way bbPress works with WordPress and BuddyPress. Clean, lightweight and straight forward. But integrating a powerful editor would be +1 π
Hello there,
I would like to integrate CKEditor with bbPress. I have already installed a plugin to integrate CKEditor with commenting wordpress related posts, but I have not found anything to make CKEditor visible with bbPress. Is there any way to add some code to core files? I am fairly new to to bbPress.
Hello,
finally I solved in this way:
I’ve installed Members plugin by Justin Tadlock. Then I set:
- read_course
- read_private_courses
- read_private_posts
- read
- read_hidden_forums
- read_private_forums
- read_private_replies
- read_assignment
- read_private_assignments
- read_private_pages
- read_private_topics
as “Subscribers” Capabilities.
The wordpress importer only works for simple forums. If there is any quantity of data that needs to migrate, the importer will timeout. Does anyone know how to export the data and then import it and the replies to another site?
Example, forum with over 8,000 replies, 141 topics that associates across some segment of 17,000 users
Hello Robkk! Thanks a lot for your detailed suggestion. I know this way to delete users from wordpress backend, but I’m looking for the function who does this in order to add a little code to my bbpress frontend π
to enable visual editor install this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/
to remove the code button use this
add it to your child themes functions.php or a functionality plugin.
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'rkk_bbp_edit_quick_editor' );
function rkk_bbp_edit_quick_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['quicktags'] = array( 'buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,img,ul,ol,li,close' );
return $args;
}
@korobochkin
in the trac they are trying to add this feature and at least an option to disable it.

[bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1430]
if you do not want pingbacks and trackbacks remove any code that is for the comments section when you create a bbpress.php and see if that fixes it.
just delete the user from the WordPress backend
go to users>all users then search for the user you want to delete
hover around there avatar and name and you will a bunch of links which one of them says delete
click that
then the next screen which is added from bbPress which says
[] delete all content
[] attribute all content to: {some username}
tick delete all content then confirm deletion
i havent found a plugin
this seems like some custom development

In the editor I need to, at the very least remove the code button.
Is there any way to use the default WordPress Editor where users can see the visual results of their editing instead of the html markup text.
Users of the forum I’m creating are not HTML coders and the way this works will totally confuse them. Also switching it off in settings makes matters worse as then they are presented with an instruction box showing the HTML tags.
Hello,
I am hosting a wordpress website with bbPress.
Everything is working great, expect for 1 thing that is pretty annoying.
How can I use the empty space, since I use 2x site bars, the space is already limited.

I had the same problem and took a chance on this plugin that had zero feedback:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/change-all-users-slug
I ran it on all 4700 of my members with one click. After a couple minutes the plugin said it couldn’t change anything because all the usernames matched the display names.
BUT… whatever it did, it FIXED the 404 errors! Now, all my users that have spaces in their names are taken to a profile page like this /john-smith/ instead of this /JohnSmith/.
