There isn’t currently a way to do what you are asking, there probably is a way to disable stickies site wide for everyone (including admin/keymaster) but that is not what you are looking for.

With the default permissions a moderator has I think there are far more dangerous options available to them such as deleting other users topics and replies.

In this regard you are offering any moderators of your forum a certain degree of trust. I would suggest you extend this trust to your moderators in regards to stickies. You can make this part of your ‘moderator’ rules/policy and ask all your moderators abide by this policy.

Hi, I have this small little issue regarding the e-mail address’s whenever someone receives and e-mail from my BBpress forum, or even when I receive an e-mail from my site regarding BBpress. Whenever someone signs up as a user on my forum, they get an email from username@box551.bluehost.com with their username and password. I have no idea why it’s from username@box551.bluehost.com, because my admin settings are set up for a different gmail account. I was on the phone with bluehost (my web hosting company) for a good hour and they tried everything they could and finally suggested that it was on BBPress’s end, and not theirs. So how would I change the default e-mail address to username@gmail.com and not username@box551.bluehost.com when ever myself or a registered user to my BBpress forum receives an e-mail?

I’m running the latest version of WordPress with BBpress 2.2.2.

Any help would greatly be appreciated! 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

This is now fixed in /trunk/ and will be in the next release of bbPress, I also confirmed it in ticket #2138 (see the screenshot here)

@Rasheed I also recommended @Yousef-Matios post on the Polyglots blog here. regarding the Arabic translation of bbPress which he has and is more than willing to share. Can you also reply to that thread and update Yousef on how he can best help get the remaining Arabic translations needed at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/ar/default

I’m having the same issue, and I’m wondering if anyone has found a solution. I’ve been browsing these forums (as well as other sites) for a couple of hours and haven’t yet found anything that works.

I’m using WordPress 3.5, BuddyPress 1.6.2, and bbPress 2.2.3. I am using the BuddyPress Default theme.

Thanks so much!

[steilenhang]

Well I did that now. All custom roles are gone, the plugin is deleted, users have been remapped to default forum roles and bbPress still does not work as it should.

Do you have any idea of how to get this working? I have tried everything I can think of. I can’t find any leftovers from the role plugin either.

[steilenhang]

OK, but how do I make it work then? Reset and remove the User Role Editor, and then “Remap existing users to default forum roles”? I want bbPress more than custom roles to put it that way.

Hi!
I just updated to bbpress 2.2.3 I have buddypress using bbpress sitewide forums. Using current wordpress version with buddypress default theme and my own custom made child theme.

Updating caused some style problems. I think I had edited some css and forgotten that I did. So I discovered I should copy bbpress.css into my theme. I have done this and have gotten rid of the awful bullets by setting #bbpress-forums to list-style:none.

I need to align LI.bbp-topic-freshness to the right to get rid of a large margin being caused by it aligning center. I told it to align right and it didn’t cooperate! What should I try now????

The site is http://rheum4us.org however the forum is private using the membership plugin.
Thanks for any help!

Have a look in the codex docs https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

And bbPress source

[sureshtmp-456]

Hi

I have a wordpress(3.4.1) installation adb bbpress 2.2.2 plugin.

For some reason whenever any tag like , , , etc… are put in the content of a topic, it get removed while saving the topic. Even the tags allowed by default are removed while saving.

So basically a line like

I am going to and will need

will become

I am going to and will need

after saving.

I have tried putting and surrounding the content, but it does not help.

I have also tried “bbpress post toolbar” plugin but that kind of messes of with my theme
and too many things start breaking so I removed this.

I have already spent few days on this issue. Can someone help ?

thx
-Suresh

[aaclayton]

Went through the whole disable all plugins, revert to default theme thing…no luck. Really could use a confirmation from someone else running WP 3.5 and BBP 2.2.3 that reply revision logging is working for them?

[knaveenchand]

Thanks for the hint provided by @Rafael. I would like to add here that in order to keep the change in tact, it is better to edit it through our functions.php file in our theme directory so that even if bbpress gets updated, our changes remain intact. So I created these two functions along add_filter functions:

/**
 * The main forum loop. THIS IS CUSTOMISED TO ORDERBY TITLE INSTEAD OF MENU_ID
 *
 * WordPress makes this easy for us.
 *
 * @since bbPress (r2464)
 *
 * @param mixed $args All the arguments supported by {@link WP_Query}
 * @uses WP_Query To make query and get the forums
 * @uses bbp_get_forum_post_type() To get the forum post type id
 * @uses bbp_get_forum_id() To get the forum id
 * @uses get_option() To get the forums per page option
 * @uses current_user_can() To check if the current user is capable of editing
 *                           others' forums
 * @uses apply_filters() Calls 'bbp_has_forums' with
 *                        bbPres::forum_query::have_posts()
 *                        and bbPres::forum_query
 * @return object Multidimensional array of forum information
 */
function mybbp_has_forums( $args = '' ) {
	$bbp = bbpress();

	// Setup possible post__not_in array
	$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

	// Check if user can read private forums
	if ( current_user_can( 'read_private_forums' ) )
		$post_stati[] = bbp_get_private_status_id();

	// Check if user can read hidden forums
	if ( current_user_can( 'read_hidden_forums' ) )
		$post_stati[] = bbp_get_hidden_status_id();

	// The default forum query for most circumstances
	$defaults = array (
		'post_type'      => bbp_get_forum_post_type(),
		'post_parent'    => bbp_is_forum_archive() ? 0 : bbp_get_forum_id() ,
		'post_status'    => implode( ',', $post_stati ),
		'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 50 ),
		'orderby'        => 'title',
		'order'          => 'ASC'
	);
	$bbp_f = bbp_parse_args( $args, $defaults, 'has_forums' );

	// Run the query
	$bbp->forum_query = new WP_Query( $bbp_f );

	return apply_filters( 'mybbp_has_forums', $bbp->forum_query->have_posts(), $bbp->forum_query );
}
add_filter('bbp_has_forums','mybbp_has_forums');

//this is CUSTOMIZED to just get the subforums ordered by title instead of menu_id

function myybbp_forum_get_subforums( $args = '' ) {

	// Use passed integer as post_parent
	if ( is_numeric( $args ) )
		$args = array( 'post_parent' => $args );

	// Setup possible post__not_in array
	$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

	// Super admin get whitelisted post statuses
	if ( is_super_admin() ) {
		$post_stati = array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_private_status_id(), bbp_get_hidden_status_id() );

	// Not a super admin, so check caps
	} else {

		// Check if user can read private forums
		if ( current_user_can( 'read_private_forums' ) ) {
			$post_stati[] = bbp_get_private_status_id();
		}

		// Check if user can read hidden forums
		if ( current_user_can( 'read_hidden_forums' ) ) {
			$post_stati[] = bbp_get_hidden_status_id();
		}
	}

	$defaults = array(
		'post_parent'    => 0,
		'post_type'      => bbp_get_forum_post_type(),
		'post_status'    => implode( ',', $post_stati ),
		'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 50 ),
		'orderby'        => 'title',
		'order'          => 'ASC'
	);
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, $defaults, 'forum_get_subforums' );
	$r['post_parent'] = bbp_get_forum_id( $r['post_parent'] );

	// No forum passed
	$sub_forums = !empty( $r['post_parent'] ) ? get_posts( $r ) : '';

	return apply_filters( 'mybbp_forum_get_sub_forums', (array) $sub_forums, $args );
}
add_filter('bbp_forum_get_sub_forums','mybbp_forum_get_sub_forums');

This may not be elegant solution but it saves us from the annoying impacts on bbpress updates.

I would love to hear from developers on this forum on how best this can be implemented without copy-pasting the entire function just to change one small variable and then giving it a new function name and then adding filters. Is there a better way, friends?

[mickyharris]

OK, I’ve got a fix. Well, it worked for me anyway.

Go to Tools => Forums => Repair Forums in admin

Check ‘Remap existing users to default forum roles’ and ‘Repair items’

Hope that helps.

My: Permalink Settings:

Default https://domain.com/?p=123

Yes the site is insid of the “blog” folder.

Any ideas?

[niangari]

Hi everybody! Ok, after 10 hours of research and trying, I surrender and ask to people who know more than me.

I’m trying to change the default tab “home” of each buddypress groups for the “forum”, so I can Hide or delete the “home” tab and only use the forum.

I’ve tried hundreds of different codes I’ve found on diferent blogs and with some changes I made but no one does ANYTHING in the way the tabs are shown or oppened in the groups.

The last one I tried is this one (the simpliest one) http://screencast.com/t/tJE8UFQy7

There is also the root in which I created the bp-custom.php file.

I can’t think anything to fix this. Please could anybody help me with this? Does anybody thing about anything that is causing this?

Thank you all!

[kristinachilds]

How do you change just the defaults in this new version? Every time I try, the only output is “Array”. I don’t want to filter the whole function, just the

‘before’ => ”,
‘after’ => ”,

[bbarton]

Having trouble copying over the template. I basically want to use a different header file called get_header(‘bb’) for the BB templates. I read the codex and a few other post and no luck. Here’s what I’ve done:

Uploaded most recent bbPress Plugin and WordPress install

This is what bb plugin tree looks like:

-includes
-languages
-templates
–default
—bbpress FOLDER
—css FOLDER
—extras FOLDER
—js FOLDER
bbpress-functions.php

From my understanding of the bb theme-compatability codex, I copied the contents of the extras folder into a folder in my theme called bbpress.

I added add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); to the after_setup_theme hook

Now it should work!?! Should I be copying the contents of default folder into the bbpress folder of my theme?

[apet083]

Hi Stephen @netweb. I just tried creating a WordPress site from scratch with bbpress. When I clicked on reply it redirected me back to the wrong page again. It seems like its my settings with IIS.
If I use the WordPress default permalink structure (no rewrite) it still does the same thing.

What could be in your IIS that I don’t have? Where would this setting be located?

Also, what version of PHP and MySQL do you have? I have PHP 5.3 MySQL 5.1

Thanks

[Juba]

Hi
I recently instaslled bbpress on my blog at http://tenerifeforum.org.es
The page with the install is titled “forum”.

Prior to this, the blog has been using All in One Seo plugin and everything works perfectly.
Since I installed bbpress, the WP toolbar does not give the option to edit the forum page.
The only way I can access it is by going into admin – pages and then edit.

That’s ok if it works that way but now the title and description tags are not being picked up from All in One Seo and it just shows the default exerpts as description and page title.

The page had already been optimised from a previous Mingle install so if someone knows why the metas are not being picked up, I’d be very happy as it really has me baffled.

Thanks

[Clicknathan]

http://bbpress.org/forums/

That is the specific functionality I want for my forum, but can’t seem to find something that can do just that in the default theme or widgets.

Specifically, I want to show a list of most recently replied to topics and have the link to the latest topic (such as the timestamp links to on the main /forums/ page here).

[Lynq]

You might get some benefit from trying this theme out I created…

I have created a bbPress starter theme with a phpBB look and feel

It kind of changes the default bbPress theme and seperates out the forums, see what you think, let me know if anything isn’t clear on it.

[Stephen Edgar]

Using the default bbPress settings I just threw up a IIS install of WP 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3

http://localhost:81/forums/
http://localhost:81/forums/forum/test-forum/
http://localhost:81/forums/topic/test-topic/

For the test topic I added a reply and clicked submit and the resulting URL is correct

http://localhost:81/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-7

[apet083]

Thanks for your reply Stephen. The site is live on Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.5

All other links seem to work, it is just when people reply to topics that it jumps around…

After resetting permalinks on my dev environment and setting the slugs to the WordPress defaults these are the URLS.

Navigating to a topic from the list of recent topics:
http://localhost/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/

Navigating to a forum from the list of forums:
http://localhost/sitename/forums/forum/forum-name/

Navigating to a topic after clicking on a forum from above:
http://localhost/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/ (this is consistent with the first link which is good).

Posting a reply from inside test-topic
http://localhost/sitename/forums/forum/forum-name/#post-158293

Posting a reply from http://localhost/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-158277:
http://localhost/sitename/sitename/forums/topic/test-topic/#post-158294

Note that it doubled the sitename ^ but this doesn’t seem to affect it and lands back at the topic which is what I want.

[Stephen Edgar]

Your topic replies URL should be displaying in the format:

http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/butterflies/#post-158277

When I set my bbPress settings to the same settings you use above these are the URL’s:

Forums base: forum (Note: Default bbPress setting is ‘forums’)
Topics base: topics (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘topics’)
Forum Prefix ticked (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘ticked/checked’)
Forum slug: forums (Note: Default bbPress setting is ‘forum’)
Topic slug: topic (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘topic’)

http://localhost/sitename/forum/forums/butterflies/

http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/test-topic/

http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/butterflies/#post-158277

I would try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

If you have no luck I would read up on the LAMP/MAMP (Linux/Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP) package you are using on what settings are needed for mod_rewrite to work on your local machine.

There are also a few (and a few broken links here) installing WordPress Locally

Hey all,

I thought I would have a go at creating a quick and easy theme for people to get started using bbPress. This was built fairly quickly using one of my other themes (which are based off the default bbPress files).

If you want to check it out then have a look at: http://www.epicwebs.co.uk/content/bbpress-theme-invision-or-phpbb-feel or check it out on github https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs.

The theme allows you to get more of a phpBB or invision look to your forum. It uses the functions I posted previously on bbPress.org along with some css to get the forum looking nice by installing the theme. The forum should be pretty fluid so it will fit any width of site.

Good luck, I hope this helps!
