There are probably lots of changes that have been made to get those sites, and sorry but it is unlikely that anyone will offer to design your site for you without payment.

If you want a specific project then put it on wordpress jobs

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

If you want specific help on elements, then give us a link to your url, and say what exactly you would like to change, and we’ll see if we can help you.

Im using bbpress Version 2.5.3 and WordPress 3.9.1 running Jarida theme.

[James Doglasse]

NO matter what i do, the importer cant find my tables

eg

WordPress database error: [Table ‘databasename.GDNUser’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(User.UserID USING “utf8”) AS UserID,convert(User.Password USING “utf8”) AS Password,convert(User.Name USING “utf8”) AS Name,convert(User.Email USING “utf8”) AS Email,convert(User.DateInserted USING “utf8”) AS DateInserted FROM GDNUser AS User LIMIT 0, 100No users to convert

my details are correct, and the tables are there.

not sure what to do now

I am using wordpress 3.9.1, buddypress 2.0.1, and bbpress 2.5.3. I am using child themes. I cannot change the css for bbp-reply-content without changing bbp-topic-content. Around line 315 in bbpress.css, if I change something for bbp-reply-content, that changes the reply and topic content. For example, in the below changes nothing happens. I have background color set to white, and the background for repy-content is commented out. If I comment out topic-content and use the background change for reply-content, then all topic content and reply content will have a white background. I would like to be able to change the background on the reply content and NOT on the topic content. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content{
  margin-left: 130px;
	padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
	text-align: left;
  background-color: white;
}
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
	margin-left: 130px;
	padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
	text-align: left;
  /*border:5px solid red;*/
  /*border: 11px ridge #7D573A;*/
  /*background-color: white;*/
}

It will almost certainly be your theme.

I had a quick look but couldn’t work out quite what it was doing at that point.

Since I think you have the scope theme, maybe check on their support forum, as have paid for support and access.

http://www.themezilla.com/support/forum/wordpress-themes/scope/

and search for bbpress as a start – there may well be a simple solution.

If not then put a support topic on their site, and come back and tell us what they said

If i push “reply” on any post then default reply form push my post directly under that post. If i don’t push “reply” on any post then default reply form behaves as if I pressed the answer under the first post in the topic. Is it possible to change this behavior? I need this – if i don’t push “reply” then my post appears last in topic as if i pressed the answer to the last post of the topic.
WordPress 3.9.1
bbPress 2.5.3

They could be getting caught by Akismet or are failing the WordPress Comment Moderation/Blacklist limits are have an assigned status ‘pending’

http://example.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=pending&post_type=topic
http://example.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=pending&post_type=reply

[Robin W]

ok, let me know how you get on.

If you’d like specific coding done, then try wordpress jobs

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robin W]

I presume they used to be ok? or have they never worked?

Since they are images, almost anything in wordpress could have affected.

have you added any plugins, or updated/changed themes?

[Stephen Edgar]

We actually pull the list of plugins using the WordPress plugin API, the good thing is that the plugin API is getting some updates this week so we should be able to include some of those enhancements into our plugin list https://bbpress.org/plugins

[yoosuke]

I’m looking for advice on how to display day of the week at “reply-post-date”.

In topic pages, “at” is used in the display of posting date. like…

2014/05/28 at(←here!) 00:21

I want to replace the display from “at” to “(Sun)”.
In other words, I want to display a day of the week of posting time.

I tried many times by using PHP function “preg_replace”.
However, it was too difficult for me. Code that I made ​​is as bellow.

function change_reply_post_date($output) {
$output = preg_replace( '/at/' , "<?php echo get_post_time('D'); ?>" , $output );
return $output;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_post_date' , 'change_reply_post_date');

In this case, it did not result in an error.
However, “at” disappeared.

What should I do?
Would you please advice me?

WordPress: ver3.9.1
bbPress: ver2.5.3

[Robin W]

I presume you have read the

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/faq/

[Robin W]

yes that’s the way it is supposed to work – try the plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

[elaborate]

I will if I find an acceptable solution. It would be better if one of the developers could drop by and share their wisdom though.

There is also a small chance that BuddyPress Trac ticket #5619 will materialize and effectively solve my problem before I do.

Anyway, thanks for the help!

[Robin W]

ok, then install the plugin

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups

then each course would have a group, and you would add users to that forum group.

[elaborate]

Right, I guess I’m moving on to the Stack Exchange. Worst case, I’ll have to figure out how PHP forms are done in general, figure out some MySQL in relation to WordPress and sprinkle with security precautions.

Do you have a donation link? I don’t think anybody else is going to drop by and help me out before I figure it out elsewhere 🙂

[Robin W]

‘course are posts for “courses” custom post type.’

That is the part that confuses me.

Bbpress uses three custom post types – forum, topic and reply – none of which would concern you.

If you just want forums for each course, that is out of the box, but a course participant would be able to see other course’s forums – is this an issue?

Otherwise if you want separate private group forums then try adding the following plugin on top of bbpress.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups

Since I have never used courseware I can’t say how well bbpress would integrate with it

I think you best option is to install bbpress and see how it works for you.

[Robin W]

looks good Stephen, will be interesting to see how that develops !

for plugins, a list of wordpress plugins by what they do rather than what they’re called would be useful, which I’d be happy to work on. At the moment you have to want something and then articulate this in a search. Most newcomers don’t realise what they can do with a few plugins, and a simple list would be great to stimulate the mind.

[billrodgers2013]

Our Club didn’t want forums in BBPress so I needed to uninstall it.
After the uninstall I was left with BBPress Roles such as Keymaster etc.

Additionally, all Admin accounts aand other WordPress accounts other than mine now get a page “you are not authorised to access this page” when they log in. They can go back to the main page while logged in and can then access the Dashboard.

I’ve worked around this b copying the user privileges from my account to other admin accounts.

How can I “fix” this?

Hi all,

I am creating a course related membership site. I am using course ware plugin for course management. I also need forum for my registered members for course related discussion.

I google for best forum plugin for wordpress and found this bbpress plugin.

But I am confused, I am not sure whether it will work with my course post type or not because its custom post type.

What I actually want to do is: Suppose, I created 1 course say “bbpress installation” in course ware custom post type and I want to add 1 separate discussion board for this course. Is this possible with bbpress plugin ?

Let me know its really very urgent for me because my project is overdue. I really very appreciate quick and useful reply 🙂

Thank you in advance.

‘I’m sure it’s just a matter of understanding how WordPress or specifically BuddyPress implement PHP forms and the rest should be a cakewalk.’

Absolutely. Most answers are simple once you’ve found them!

I don’t quite know what to suggest next !

[Robin W]

This plugin does this

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-forum-visibility

[southcot]

Yes it’s the same issue. I didn’t understand the reference you made to the plug-in author, sorry. Not being conversant with the conventions I assumed you were still talking about the bbpress author. I’m sure I could have been more switched on but perhaps replies to in this forum could make less of an assumption about the degree of tech literacy us ordinary users have?

I’m now completely at a loss as to what the link:-

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2593

… should convey to me?

[fumbling]

Hi there! I am using bbpress v 2.5.3 and wordpress v 3.9.1.
I would like to use an email for notifications from the forum, that is different then the one I’ve setup in wordpress settings. Is this possible? Its just different people in our organization will deal with the forum, and others with support on the contact page.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!!!
