I’m having the exact same issue with the newest bbpress and wordpress, trying to import from simple:press.

I have used this tool some other time, on older versions, and then in started at least.
Did you ever find out why it doesn’t start, or did you give up like I’m about to do?

Just written this – should work

add_filter ('bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form' , 'rew_limit_replies') ;

function rew_limit_replies ($retval) {
	//set limit
	$limit = 5 ;
	//get replies for today
	$user_id = get_current_user_id() ;
	$reply=bbp_get_reply_post_type() ;
	$today = getdate();
	$args = array(
		'post_type'=> $reply,
		'order'    => 'ASC',
		'orderby' => 'ID',
		'post_status' => 'publish',
		'posts_per_page' => -1,
		'post_author' => $user_id,
		'date_query' => array(
		array(
			'year'  => $today['year'],
			'month' => $today['mon'],
			'day'   => $today['mday'],
		),
		),
		
		);              

	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
	$count = $the_query->found_posts;
	if ($count>=$limit) $retval = 0 ;
return $retval ;
}

Just amend the line ‘$limit = 5 ;’ to whatever number you want

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

your theme is hiding the bbpress breadcrumbs in

https://renaloo.com/wp-content/themes/digiqole-child/assets/css/custom.css line 2281

This function will add a reference to the breadcrumb

add_action ('bbp_template_before_single_topic' , 'rew_forum') ;

function rew_forum () {
	echo '<div class="rew_forum">' ;
	$topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id() ;
	$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ;
	echo '<a href="' . esc_url( bbp_get_forum_permalink( $forum_id ) ) . '" class="bbp-breadcrumb-forum">' . bbp_get_forum_title( $forum_id ).'</a>' ;
	echo '</div>' ;
}

At a guess, I’d say that bbPress, like WordPress, uses oEmbed to embed media. WP maintains a list of oEmbed providers whose URLs will automatically be converted to media embeds. The URL in your screenshot looks like it’s a custom CDN hosting an mp4 file, which likely can’t be converted this way. To test this, try using a YouTube video’s URL instead. You may use WPTrains forum to understand further.

[Robin W]

the 2022 wordpress theme is a block theme, and doesn’t support bbpress out of the box.

Install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

Im using BBpress Version 2.6.9 and WordPress version: 5.9.3 and i’m working on my localhost.
I have followed the documentation (method 2) and I keep ending up with the same issue. The Forum page has the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode which works fine, but when I click on the forum I created it returns a blank page.

URL structure that returns blank page:
mysite/forums/forum/test-forum/

I have removed every plugin except BBPress and tested this on the 2022 WordPress theme and still no luck, any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Using bbPress to add a forum to your WordPress websites is the easiest method. It is the best forum plugin for WordPress and comes with all the features you need to set up and manage a discussion board online.

[erossini]

In my WordPress website, I added bbPress. When you are in the forum in the section _Support_ and you open a topic, you see this

In my point of view, the user experience is not great because the user doesn’t know where he or she is. I like to add a full breadcrumb like

> Forum > Support > Test video

How can I add this?

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back

Thanks Robin. Tried what you recommended and still ahve the same problem. I am running WordPress 6.0.2 if that matters.
I installed per the directions and added it to the menu in my wordpress site as it did not appear that I needed to create a seperate page for it. What is strange is that if I log into my wordpress site, go to “Dashboard” then go to Visit Website” and click on “Forum” (as above) it comes up! It just does not work if anyone (including me) tries it from just a web browser, either chrome or Microsoft.

Hope someone can help with this. It’s frustrating 🙂

following closure of the ‘bbPress – Moderation Tools’ plugin, I added this code to my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated you’ll find the moderation tools in

dashboard>settings>forums

[Pete]

I am using WordPress 6.0.2, bbPress 2.6.9 and my forums are located here.

I have what I would have thought was a fairly common requirement: I (keymaster/administrtor/moderator) simply want to receive an email notification if a post requires moderation, rather than having to ‘manually’ monitor the Topic/Reply lists through the forum adminsitration screens to see if moderation is required.

It seems that the ‘bbPress – Moderation Tools’ plugin used to do this, but this plugin appears to no longer be available. I have installed ‘bbPress Notify (No Spam)’ 2.17.6 (bbPNNS), but I seem only to be able to configure this to notify me after the post has been approved, not before, when moderator action is required.

My problem is not a fundamental problem with notifications. I get email notifications when new users register or when they change their password, and I can configure bbPNNS to send email notification when new topics are posted, but I cannot see how to configure something that will send an email notification when a pending post (Topic or Reply) requires the attention of a moderator.

There appears to be a plugin that will hold all posts for moderation, and send the desired email notification, but I don’t need, or want, all posts to be moderated.

I have posted a similar request on the bbPNNS support forum, where this post suggests that this is a standard feature of the bbPNNS plugin, but I cannot see how to configure this capability and thought I may need to be asking my question in a broader forum.

Can anyone point me to a suitable plugin or instructions on how I might be able achieve this?

[mkopp1103]

Hi,
I Am trying to move the whole forum to another wordpress install and can’t figure out how to do it. How can there be migration options for so many other forums, but nothing to migrate a current BBPress Forum to another site?
Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

Thanks a lot!
Max

3. bbpress follows the rules in dashboard>settings>discussion

[Robin W]

from bbpress or a wordpress registration I believe, so if you’ve signed up to worpdress to log say a call in other pkigins

I have installed the BBP Style Pack and was able to increase the font size and bold for the Forum and Subforum Titles in the list, but I can’t get them to change in:
– Topics Index under each forum
– Topics and replies

I have changed the font size to 15 and bold in:
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics index styling>item 4
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics index styling>item 13

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics reply display>item 6
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics reply display>item 10

But the changes don’t appear in the forum.

The forum is private, but here are screen captures of what they look like:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y7Dk5151LNwtJ08BdQE-kWAZ75Iya-Um/view?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/19ALhYmhEj2EnqFJl5KOwpj_jcG-xdD2V/view?usp=sharing

I am trying to increase the size/bold the list of topics in the index under each forum and also to increase the size of the text in each of the topics.

I’m using:
WordPress 6.0.2 running Twenty Seventeen theme.
BBPress Version 2.6.9
BBP Style Pack Version 5.0.8

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

[Robin W]

that’s basically the code which can be added to a functions file, or using

Code Snippets

[Robin W]

not quite sure what your question is.

but try

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Breadcrumbs

where you can set which breadcrumbs show and where they go to

[Robin W]

I found this ticket, and have added that link to it

[Robin W]

bbpress uses wordpress moderation settings in

dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation

Set keywords up in there, and bbpress will moderate using them

[Robin W]

by default you do not have to approve

bbpress will hold for moderation items that Akismet deems to be spam, that wordpress has for moderation in dashboard>settings>discussion>before a comment appears and comment moderation

You might also have additional plugins that are causing moderation

Hi all,

I see in the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/ there is an option for admin to add and remove member subscriptions to forums and topics but this plugin is out of date and not being maintained.

Does anyone know of another plugin that lets admin control the subscriptions of bbpress members?

Thanks

So latest wordpress and bbpress forum..

nothing worked when I tried to import SMF database..

So I then created a mybb forum and used there importer, which after charset issues, imported the SMF forum stuff fine..

so now back to bbpress, to import from mybb, and still nothing.. it starts and does nothing else just like before with it trying to import from the smf db..

all the options are correct ie db name/pass/port etc… I don’t get it, it says nothing as to why its not processing anything, just stuck at first step doing nothing.

Is this importer even working?

[Robin W]

probably it is various email filters stopping – email providers constantly fight spam emails, and if yours are seeming to not come from authorised smtp address, then some will stop. that might explain why recipients get and some don’t.

so 1st – I’d make sure that the sending email address is a real one from your site. by default bbpress sends from noreply@yoursite you could use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails to change

next I’d set up smtp.

get the smtp settings from your hoster, you’ll need

SMTP Host eg smtp.myco.com
Encryption none/tls/ssl
SMTP Port eg 587
Authentication on/off ?

and the email and pw for whatever you are sending from

the use

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms – The Most Popular SMTP and Email Log Plugin

to set up smtp – the free version is fine

finally I’d add the ‘check and log email’ plugin to see what is happening

Check & Log Email

[Robin W]

sorry it is free software designed to work under wordporess, so little chance of anyone writing an app let alone for free

bbpress display well under many many themes on a mobile, the problem is knowing what you think it should look like.

You could try

bbp style pack

which would let you set most of the aspects.
