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.

this turns comments on in bbpress

add_filter ('bbp_force_comment_status' , 'rew_set_comments_on') ;

function rew_set_comments_on () {
	return true ;
}

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

FYI I use the free version of GD bbPress Tools that has a setting for the User Signature. This plugin is actively updated.

Got the above from this stackoverflow thread

My problem is exactly like that except for bbpress

1) this is the default case – users can post topics without anyone needing to approve
2) I think this does it https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-monalisa/ according to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/smiley-emoticons/

3) this is what you might want https://wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/

Someone may need it, so I’ll update it.

function hhj_bbp_random_topic() {
global $post;
$args = array('post_type' => 'topic','orderby' => 'rand','post_status'=>'publish','posts_per_page' => '10');
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br/>
<?php
endforeach;
wp_reset_postdata();
}
add_shortcode('hhj_bbp_random_topic', 'hhj_bbp_random_topic');

It’s my site’s current layout, I have the forum or topic (depending on which page I’m on) on top and hopefully if I get a solution, the wordpress comments under

[athep]

The plugin successfully activated once I moved to a live server, so that’s fine. But it’s not what I was looking for, am I missing something?

I’d like wordpress comments under forums or topics (single-forum.php or single-topic.php)

bbp style pack has buttons for subscribe

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>buttons

you can crack the code in includes/functions around line 336 if you want to look at code

[zklennerf]

probably could be this… I have access as administrator to WordPress but I dont have key master access… Will check

[zklennerf]

On the wordpress desktop, in the sidebar, where the pages, entries, settings tabs are, the forum, topics and replies tabs should show … these 3 do not appear and the forum option does not appear in the wordpress settings tab so i can’t change bbpress settings

[Robin W]

ok, can you explain what you mean by

‘ the forum, discussion and answers tab does not appear on the wordpress desktop.’

I have bbpress installed but the forum, discussion and answers tab does not appear on the wordpress desktop.

[Mushi]

Hi,

I am trying to export a large bbpress forum to another wordpress domain using the import and export tools in the wordpress, but it is not working due to large data and server is not responding after few minutes.

Is there any other way of exporting bbpress to another domain?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

My env:

WooCommerce version: 4.9.0
WordPress version: 5.6
PHP version: 7.4.14
MySQL version: 5.7.31

Plugin:
bbp style pack: 4.7.2
bbPress: 2.6.6
Easy WP SMTP: 1.4.4

The feature “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” does not work on my site.
I tested: go to Settings->bbp-style-pack->Subscriptions Emails -> 9. Send test email, click on ‘Send test email(s)’, but it still does not work.

Pls guide me on this.

Hi @neon67
Thanks to reply

Did you use the “prettyphoto” plugin?

I found one that works well, it puts a dropdown on the RHS to allow author override.

bbPress Topic and Reply Author Override

[Robin W]

Private groups

and enable topic permissions

[Robin W]

the easiest was is to create a page with the same permalink as your forum slug, so in your case ‘forums’

so create a page called ‘forums’

in the content put the html you want and follow with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] if you are using blocks, wordpress has a shortcode block type ‘sh’ in type and it will appear.

and publish – check that it appears as http://mysite.com/forums

and that should work

			$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($active_id);
			$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_permalink( $forum_id );
			$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_title( $forum_id );

echo '<p>'.$anchor.'</p>' ;
}

and change the <img src="http://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Brauhaus-2.jpg" /> to the image you want – make sure it is sized right !!

[Robin W]

the easiest way is to use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

and you can amend headings there

Not quite sure what you question is.

bbpress just uses wordpress registration and login, and your site permits automatic registration, so users can just sign up as long as they have a valid email address.
