other ways of contributing i guess are helping out in the forums the best you can with other users, or the bbPress project itself.

alright this should be your entire css now

if the @media queries still do not work try just adding them into your child themes style.css file.

if it still doesnt work when you put the media queries in your style.css make sure you are not using @import and instead using this in your child themes functions.php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('parent-style')  );
}

more info here https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

and also contact jetpacks plugin support and see if there is a problem or if i made another mistake or something

hello guys, I created the portal with WordPress, I installed the plugin bbPress. as you can see in the background to the forum topic STICK does not allow to read the title of the topic, even in the discussion. Should I just increase the size of FONT and putting in the color BLACK

[G-SCO]

I am using bbPress 2.5.4 on WordPress 4.0.

I have added in the bbPM plugin by uploading it to my WordPress Plugin file through FTP. I can see the bbPM plugin on the Plugins page in the WordPress Dashboard but when I try to activate it I get the following error:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_load_plugin_textdomain() in ../wp-content/plugins/bbpm/bbpm.php on line 20″

I looked through this forum and found some suggestions of adding bbPM into a “my-plugins” folder inside the bbPress folder and now that I have done this, the bbPM plugin no longer shows up on the Plugins page.

I made sure both the my-plugins folder and the bbPM folder had 755 permissions but bbPM still will not appear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Robkk]

you can use this to add links to the edit profile section of your profile in the menu.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

you can then use this to just lead to just the profile

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_pro_link' );
function my_nav_menu_pro_link($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_login ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/">Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
 
}

then you can just create a link to your topics archive by going to the menu section and adding a link to the menu with the link being yoursite.com/topics

Just want to add my notes in updating from dinosaur version 0.9.0.7 to 1.2 for anyone going thru the process. Follow the steps in https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/updating/ (shown below).

At step four, these additional steps need to happen:

4-b) In bb-includes on the server create a drectory called backpress. Copy all the backpress files from the download of “backpress-1.2-bbpress\includes”. Copy the folder “schema” to \\bb-includes\backpress\ on the server.

4-c) In /bb-includes/backpress/ on server create a folder called “pomo”. Copy the 5 files from the download of “Glotpress pomo” into it.

Updating

These instructions cover upgrading to version 1.2

• First, you should always back up your files and your database in case something goes wrong.
• Second, deactivate all plugins.
• Third, keep the following files and directories.

  bb-config.php
  my-plugins/ (if you have it)
  my-templates/ (if you have it)
  my-languages/ (if you have it)
  also backup your existing .htaccess file if you have modified it, then delete everything else.

• Fourth, upload the newest version of bbPress to your server.
• Fifth, log in and visit your bbPress admin area. If you see an upgrade link instead of the normal screen, click it. If you don’t see an upgrade link (it would have been really obvious), continue to the next step.
• Sixth, visit the new “Settings” area of the admin and edit any details or settings in the “General” section. Also visit the “Permalinks” section to regenerate your .htaccess file if necessary. Also reactivate your plugins one by one (some may need to be upgraded as well).
• Seventh, sit back and relax; you’re done!

These downloads are for legacy versions of bbPress and are no longer in active development but still available for download if you’re feeling nostalgic. You can find the WordPress plugin bbPress here
bbPress 1.2

The latest 1.x stand-alone version of bbPress is 1.2 (.zip / trac / svn)

The latest bbPress 1.2 specific BackPress package is backpress-1.2-bbpress (.zip / trac / svn)

(You will also need the GlotPress ‘pomo’ folder from here.)

[swammy05]

Yes, that makes sense.

I did find this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2685

Is that a core fix that has not been made? My bbpress is up to date

[Robkk]

@atfpodcast yeah thats what people usually say there.

try just switching to bbpress bbcode with the whitelist plugin

and also bbpress direct quotes.

the bbcode plugin just turns basic html into shortcodes , so its still fine even though it is 2 years old.

but remember to use it with the whitelist plugin too so that other users cant post the bbpress login shortcode and other unwanted shortcodes you dont want in bbpress posts/wordpress comments/buddypress activity/buddypress private messages.

bbpress direct quotes wont quote as fast as gd bbpress tools quotes but it still works fine too.

[atfpodcast]

It says not tested with 4.0 but it works and much nicer then one I was using.

[bidhan.baruah]

Hi,

We had a custom forum created through a .NET application. Its a legacy application built in 2006.
Now client is migrating to wordpress / bbpress. For forum migration I have created a application to import data from .NET application (Sql Server database) in a format where I can use mingle importer to import.

The tables we have created are wp_forum_forums, wp_forum_threads; wp_forum_posts;

Table definition are
CREATE TABLE wp_forum_forums (
id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(4000) NOT NULL,
parent_id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
description text,
sort int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=32 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE TABLE wp_forum_posts (
id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
parent_id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
subject varchar(2000) DEFAULT NULL,
author_id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
text mediumtext,
date datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_forum_threads_idx (parent_id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_user (author_id),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_forum_threads FOREIGN KEY (parent_id) REFERENCES wp_forum_threads (id),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_user FOREIGN KEY (author_id) REFERENCES wp_users (ID) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=69731 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE TABLE wp_forum_threads (
id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
parent_id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
starter bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
subject varchar(4000) DEFAULT NULL,
status varchar(100) NOT NULL,
date datetime NOT NULL,
last_post datetime NOT NULL,
closed varchar(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_forum_forums_idx (parent_id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_users_idx (starter),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_forum_forums FOREIGN KEY (parent_id) REFERENCES wp_forum_forums (id),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_user FOREIGN KEY (starter) REFERENCES wp_users (ID) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=9303 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Through our custom code we populated these tables.

Everything works fine, but while importing the wp_forum_posts (which has got 69K records) the importer hangs between 35600 to 35699. I tried atleast 5 / 6 times but same result every time.

Can you kindly help us in this?

Thanks and Regards
Bidhan

i have also a quistion how to install wordpress,and how to create a website by using wordpress.
tell me best answer.

[blueberrycove]

Jlaks – the way I did it was to put in some html code on the WordPress page, above the shortcode for the forum. However Robkk’s plugin is really simple and much better – I’m using it as well now!

[Robin W]

you need my plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

membership plugins on their own do not protect from widgets and searches.

[readwriteandedit]

I don’t know if this is a question for bbPress, bbPress WP Tweaks, or iThemes Exchange Membership, but I’ll start with bbPress.

I have multiple forums, one private. I’m using the bbPress WP Tweaks plugin for my forum sidebar and restricting access to all forums through Exchange Membership.

The private forum is hidden from the forum list, which is what I expected and what I want.
The private forum cannot be accessed from my menu link (although I need to figure out how to get rid of the “oops message), which is also expected behavior.

However, recent topics and recent replies in the sidebar both show links to a topic from the private forum to non-members of the forum. That is, the sidebar shows topics for every forum, even the private one, and even to non-members. Clicking the links for topics/replies from the private forum returns the “oops message” and so non-members can’t actually link to the forum that way, but I don’t want anyone who’s not a member of the private forum to even see topic titles. Everything in the private forum should be private.

Additionally, using the search box in the sidebar brings up both topics and replies to content from the private forum–not merely links, but the topics and replies themselves, as if they weren’t part of a private forum. This is true whether or not the user is logged in.

Exchange Membership allows me to restrict access to replies and topics, but only globally; topics and replies can’t be restricted on a forum-by-forum basis.

1. So, is there a setting I’m missing in bbPress to make replies and topics private inside a private forum? Is it standard for members of other forums to be able see the titles of topics of a private forum or allow access through search? (Or if you think this is being caused by the bbPress WP Tweaks plugin and you have any ideas for a fix, that would be great.)

2. Also, can I change the “oops, that page can’t be found” message or redirect users to another page when they click on the link to a private forum? Exchange Membership already has something set up to prevent access to protected pages/posts (with a message I can change), and that works if a non-member tries to access a public forum. But something about the private forum settings/setup produces a different redirect. I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks for your help.

Wordpress: 4.0
bbPress: 2.5.4
bbPress WP Tweaks: 1.3.1
iThemes Exchange: 1.10.6
Exchange Membership Add-on: 1.2.8
My site: The Editor’s Blog Members

The Member Forum is public, the Pro Forum private. The topic–Can Sally See This Topic–is from the Pro Forum and shouldn’t be seen by or accessible to the Member Forum.

I notice this happens to others too, but appears to not have an absolute solution yet…I’ve experienced this once before but no follow up solution resulted, so I thought I would try once again with this new and recent instance of this ongoing problem.

In a nutshell, when I go to log into the WP Dashboard, it redirects me to the site’s front-end and not to my dashboard. I have to manually type in an admin url location to access it.

I have a fresh install of WordPress that I’ve been developing my theme with. So when this happened yet again, I did the following to troubleshoot:

1. Replaced my WP files with a fresh download
2. Tried two WP default themes
3. Disabled plugins one-by-one
4. flushed my browser’s cache and also used the default permalinks setting

Once again, it points to the bbPress plugin because when I disable it, I can log back into the dashboard just fine. However, enabling it once again, the problem comes back. And before you ask, this happens with the default WP themes too.

Long story short, I did a Google search and this happens to various people over the years, and this is the third time in 2 years for me…the 1st time I just simply dropped bbPress, then the second time, I had to do the same, now this 3rd time, I may have to.

Any ideas what could be doing this?

[Robkk]

1. the login issue , i cant do much about since its about the design of bbpress.org , i can pitch some desgin ideas like just showing login and register links in the admin bar instead of the anonymous user profile dropdown so that it could be more like the wp admin bar as it is now.

2. i dont think bbpress login shortcode/widget have a referrer login redirect , use this plugin to get that kind of functionality.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/

if it doesnt work , i dont know how else to help you on this issue.

3. i think you should create a new topic for this, i dont really know much about this.

[jlaks]

Thx Rob,

Missed it as well my eyes are weary. Thank You for the quick response. Setting new forum for my eccomerce site https://www.boatpartsforless.com/. Learned quite a bit about bbPress in a day. Last thing really needing attention before it goes live is a login re-direct and one piece of code color of font forum titles. Really like bbPress but two a few quirky things.

First: when I registered today for bbPress forum I really had to look for log in then finally figured out it was the icon top right. Seems like logging in and registering should not take that much effort.

Second: Quirk. After log in site does not redirect back to page you where on. That disappointed me earlier today when searching for info and had to register to add to this topic. Again while I am really liking bbPress so far, seems weird two paramount conveniences are not incorporated in out of the box.

Last one: is a little scary. If someone inputs incorrect log in information it redirects to WordPress main login in screen. Really have to work on that one before forum goes live. While most hackers know where log in in is for WordPress sites still seems stupid to advertise it like that.

Or it could just be me, frustrated with having to learn something new.

[Robkk]

you guys could use this plugin

bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages

[jlaks]

Hi blueberry cove,

Would you mind sharing how you got your login/register, lost password links at top of your forum page. I have created these pages wordpress already. But each time I try and add a button or link to the top of the wordpress forum page. Button or link is added but breaks the bbpress forum itself and forum itself does not show only newly added link or button.

Thanks in advance

[Robin W]

Meanwhile, however, can I list only one forum at a time?

see earlier answer – ‘[bbp-single-forum id=123]‘

at the end the pages that appear after the user clicks a top menu called “Chevrolet.”

see earlier answer – ‘Then create a wordpress page called say GM, and put the shortcode’

you can put as much text on that page before the shortcode as you like

“See other forums,”

just use a hyperlink to a page with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]
