I don’t know of any off the top of my head.

Have you tried searching for one?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Lets keep this conversation in one place and see my reply here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-ask-question-in-bbpress-forum-wont-post-help-1?replies=3

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you please create a ticket on Trac for this please

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ (Use the same wordpress.org/bbpress.org username and password)

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the report and you are correct it should still be an accurate count after running the repair tool. Could you create a ticket n Trac for this and I’ll take a look and see if I can get it fixed for the next release.

We have an open ticket on Trac on what is and isn’t in the widgets and the potential option to merge everything into a single widget. If you have any additional thoughts not yet covered so far please feel free to add your own thoughts 🙂

That said one of the strings ‘You must be logged in to create new topics’ IS translated here so it might be the case of updating your translations.

Details to update your translations are here https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

I would also look at the 115 of 1034 strings yet to be translated looking at the details here and get those translated and then contact your local Hebrew translation team via https://he.wordpress.org/contact/ to get the strings approved.

Hi, sorry about being so obtuse.

I’m using woocommerce groups. it stores its stuff in several non-standard wordpress tables. I need to be able to replace the bbpress roles as displayed in the forum iteration with the group the user is assigned to. I want to be able to do that without hacking the core, for obvious reasons.

does this help.

ok, I’ve cut justsayno1’s code into a plugin, which you can download from here

This will then override any user choice, and enforce only username as the display

bbpress username plugin

Download this to your PC, and then using dashboard>plugins>add new and select upload files and upload the zipped file to your site

Let me know what works and doesn’t

Three things :

1. As justsayno1 says – the avatar will display the “display name” as the “alt” choice.
2. The profile page still appears to have the “display name”
3. I haven’t yet worked out how to take out the user choice to edit what is displayed, even though of course that is now redundant ie doesn’t work

@Mr-B – give it a go and let me know what works and what doesn’t – I basically just nicked Justsayno’s code.

@Justsayno1 on No. 1 above, can you point me to where the get-avatar function is in main wordpress (the file name would be great) and I’ll amend and cut that code into the plugin as well

@Justsayno1 on No.s 2 & 3 – have you fixed these, and if so can you point me to the solutions, and again I’ll add then to the plugin.

Xenforo was on another host, so I couldn’t use the importer. Then I transferred Xenforo over to the same host as my WordPress/BBPress installation, but the importer doesn’t seem to be working for me.

Has anyone done this successfully?

I cant get the Twenty eleven sidebar to show up on bbPress generated pages. It works well in pages and posts, with a little trouble also got it to work in BuddyPress generated pages, but still nothing in the forums, and disabling plugins doesn’t work. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have the recent versions for everything.

P.S. This is the guide i used to get sidebar to show on Buddypress generated pages, perhaps there is some clue in those script changes? I don’t understand PHP so i wouldn’t know what to look for….

Hi

I posted here last week, but for some reason my post didn’t appear, so trying again.

I am running bbpress 2.5.1 Buddypress 1.8.1 and WordPress 3.7.1 and having problems finding documentation to support getting my forums (or are they now called groups) to work at http://www.thehouseofdog.co.uk/groups/

No one seems able to post a new topic, not even me. The forums are not clear, you have to select the forums tab to get them up (and then they’re empty because no one can create a new topic) and I just need to know where I can find a manual to set this all up.

I spent 3 hours last Friday trying to find out why the ‘forums’ tab wasn’t displaying in my dashboard, only to discover I’d been looking for something which obviously doesn’t show in the latest bbpress version (but the documentation says it does).

Can someone please help me? I’ve never used wordpress, buddypress or bbpress before and I really need a manual which is up to date!

Thanks

Hello – new to this forum.

I have just started using bbPress (WordPress plugin), and I see that the ‘Freshness’ is incorrect for my test forum (localhost). The topic and post dates are in fact correct (when you go to the post, look at WP Admin, the post dates are accurate), but ‘Freshness’ is completely incorrect.

For now, I am developing my own Freshness algorithm, and will include it via theme compatability. I just wanted to add feedback that there seems to be a problem w ‘Freshness’ that would benefit from a fix.

Thanks. –Bill

Hello,

I have recently installed BBPress into my WordPress theme, and have been having a few problems with spam registrations. Basically people are creating accounts, and in their profile text the are adding links to external sites. I would like “nofollow” to be added to these links by default, though nothing I have found on this forum has worked. I have added various things to my functions.php file as instructed by people here – none have worked. Can anyone help with this?

I would also like to hide the “/members” page form being publicly accessible – is this possible?

Thanks
James

[Stephen Edgar]

You could use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/

Or you can use this plugin https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7864894

Or just add the code from the plugin to your themes functions.php or bbpress-functions.php file.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
	return array(

		// Keymaster
		bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Keymaster Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
		),

		// Moderator
		bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Moderator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
		),

		// Participant
		bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Participant Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
		),

		// Spectator
		bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Spectator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
		),

		// Blocked
		bbp_get_blocked_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Blocked Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )
		)
	);
}

Здравейте,
За първи път инсталирам bbPress и имам няколко въпроса.
От къде да взема български за последната версия – 2.5.1?
Къде да кача езиковите файлове?
Това ли е най-добрия и лесен плъгин за форум към WordPress?

Благодаря Ви предварително.

Does everything work fine with a default WordPress theme? (If so we can narrow it done to a theme issue and not some other issue).

[Dan]

So I’ve been trying to debug this problem for about a month and finally decided to try and get some extra help. Here’s a summary of what’s going on.

When a user clicks Edit, they are brought to a page that’s showing the excerpt for the reply, with a Continue Reading button. No editing can be done. Regular topics can be edited as expected, but replies are pulling from my post loop it seems.

Does anyone know where to begin looking for something like this? The theme’s creator is MIA (Huddle theme from Themeforest), and if I knew which files to begin digging through, I might be able to fix it on my own.

I’m using WordPress 3.7.1
I’m using BuddyPress 1.8.1
I’m using bbPress 2.4.1

I can provide more information upon request, would appreciate any help or general finger pointing to get me in the right direction. Thanks!

I had tried to post this last week with screenshots, but I think bbPress put it in the spam folder, so I’m trying again without the links to screenshots now.

Solved this with an extra link in the menu or in the admin bar if you use the plugin “Blue Admin”
https://wordpress.org/plugins/blue-admin/other_notes/

Instruction are here:

Menu link to Profile

[ronthai]

I just added to my menu all forum links from a user:
topics, replies, favorites, subscriptions, edit
all under 1 main “Your Forum Settings & Stats” Dropdown, but just call it anything you want.

Get the plugin “WP exec PHP” : https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-exec-php/
No security risk, since you can set the permission for who can add php to pages and such.

Create pages for any links to the profile you want and add the following REDIRECT with php-code in it (adjust to your own domain)

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://domain.com/forums/users/<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

     echo  $current_user->user_login . "";
      
?>/edit/">

You could delay the refresh and add a little text to the page, or anything you want.

With many thanks to Diggories (above somewhere) for the php code to get the username in a URL

hi all

i need to know how to manipulate the post just before it is displayed on the page? do I use wordpress hooks for that (and if so does anybody know which one off by hand), or is there a bbpress hook that does that?

Here’s what the topic looks like: http://imm.io/1lH2h

Here’s what happens when I try to edit my first post / topic post: http://imm.io/1lH2t

Here’s what happens if I try to edit a reply: http://imm.io/1lH2y

The website is lootpalace.com – I’ve got a dev clone readily available for testing ideas out on.

With all due respect to the developers of bbPress and its plugins,

People, bbPress admins, should realize that bbPress is a plugin/add-on to WordPress and bbPress is ideal for adding a nice straight forward forum to your WP, what I am setting up now for myself for the first time next my WP.

I have extended experience with phpBB forum software.
Changes/addons like these is not what bbPress is intended for, in my humble opinion.
If you want all the extra’s and whistles, people should use phpBB, which also can be used next to WP. I believe WP has plugins for that and phpBB also supports it with MOD’s/plugins.
