Hi! In setting/Forum I put the role participant to be automatically assigned to every registered visitor, but looks like not being working, because when a new user registers on my website, he/she doesn’t get any role assigned, and I have to do it manually from the dashboard.
Any clue why is did happening?
I am using an external plugin for registration, not the wordpress default option.
Thanks for any help.

If you use the bbpress profile rather than the wordpress one, it lists all topics and replies by a user – just click on a user link in the forums to see.

you can use

bbp style pack

(which also has lots of add-on features) to set the default profile to bbpress

see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

For ranking you have

bbPress Voting

and/or

bbp user ranking

also if you want users to add information about themselves, then

bbp profile information

I am not very experienced in coding, as the page has been built by an agency.
Means that the changes that now have to be placed has to be learned the hard way 🙂
But the forum here gave me already some helpful inputs.

How can I set the default style setting of the visual editor to it’s standard?
It shall only be the buttons within the visual editor and not the ones for the rest of the forum.

Actually the button settings are inherited form the customized theme and it looks horrible within the editor.

Hi

I am not very talented in wordpress. The site has even been built by wordpress themself. But actually the support of wordpress has diverted me to you, to solve my issues.

Having mentioned my poor knowledge, I have discovered, that on our page the plugin of bbPress is installed and running in the version 2.6.11 and it is active.
But the menu “Forum” is not shown in either the admin interface style “classic” nor in the “default” style.
I was using as well the stating page to disable all possible plugin’s. Without success.

Is there a concurring plugin such as memberpress?
How can I make the menu visible to admin the forum?

Thanks for any valuable hint.

[Robin W]

many sites will not wish you to even know that the topic exists, so throwing a 404 error is the default way.

You can set where to send private topics using

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails item 2

[Robin W]

ok, so in default mode, you will have the same bar as here. Another plugin or the theme is adding tyhe one on your test server. Are you using the bbp style pack plugin?

[mikiya6729]

I thought I would use the default forum template, so I clicked on the form template and saved it, but for some reason it wasn’t reflected. I’d like to know the cause of this.

Hi, I am using the bbPress integration with BuddyPress, so that when new BuddyPress groups are created, their respective associated forum is also created. I would like these forums to already have some topics created by default (such as rules, general chat, …), so that the user does not have to create them manually. Although the user can create more topics later, but I would like the forum to already include some topics by default when the group is created. Is it possible to achieve this? Thanks.

[Robin W]

ok, all I can suggest is the standard fault finding…

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

Hello
I use Block FSE theme in my site anfdactivate BBPress in it.
so, How can I change the default font family of Visual Editor and style it?

[Ricsca2]

I don’t understand how it is possible that bbpress in 2024 does not inherit the theme style! Buddypress inherits the theme style so it is even more absurd that bbpress does not inherit it.
Here we are not talking about new features but simply an obvious thing that should have by default.

[Robin W]

Learndash I think hides some stuff, maybe try disabling and see if that is the issue, you can then look at what you need to do there.

If not, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Thanks for reply but, sorry…
Installed and keymaster issue (so, nothing work, I need to fix via your plugin): this is an important issue (cannot work without the fix by your plugin).
Also, not work in FSE and also with your plugin I have bad result.
FSE is out and default theme in wp from about 4 yrs and still not supported from bbpress.

This really looks like an abandoned project.
Other minor project (like asgaros
And similar) work out of the box (install, shortcode, all work as expected).

Best regards and I really hope bbpress team can work to fix asap this issue.

[Robin W]

ok, that’s like sending your auto mechanic a picture of your Ford and asking him to say what is wrong 🙂

yes, @robin-w its working on server side by default buddyx-theme/twentytwenty and no need any additional code add. May i know the reason why didn’t work on localhost ??

And Next time I will test it on the server first. If I face any problem then I will post it.

thank you so much your great help @robin-w

I am trying to use wp to buffer to send my topics and replies to X etc, but it does not send a featured image is there a way to set a default featured image.
wp to buffer give 3 options
1 No Image
2 Use open Graph settings
3 Use Feat..Image not linked to post.

wp to buffer said “No such option for bbPress topics and replies”
but on the setup page it has settings for posts, forums, topics and replies.

Hope that makes sense.

[uksentinel]

Hi Robin
Your test forum I believe is arranged as bbp style pack > Forum Templates > Alternate Forum template 1
My Forum is arranged as bbp style pack > Forum Templates > Default Forum Template > Click to Select
Then under bbp style pack > Forum Display > (Item 1 checkbox is not Selected)

My Forum presents all Forums in a horizontal format, which is great for views on Desktop / PC etc.
But what I am looking to achieve is to change that horizontal format to a vertical format when somebody views my forums on a mobile device < 400 dpi.

Horizontal View Mobile

Vertical View Mobile
https://uktechhub.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/vertical-view.png

Horizontal View when bbp style pack > Forum Templates > Default Forum Template > Click to Select
And looking to change this view to Vertical for mobile screens

For anyone that landed here from a Google search. The pagination is not working for forums set up inside BuddyPress groups. You need to copy those two files from
\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress
pagination-topics.php
pagination-replies.php

and copy them to
\wp-content\themes\[yourchildtheme]\bbpress

Replace the code inside pagination-topics.php to:

<?php

/**
 * Pagination for pages of topics (when viewing a forum)

 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

do_action( 'bbp_template_before_pagination_loop' );

// Use bbPress setting for topics per page
$posts_per_page = bbp_get_topics_per_page();  // Dynamically get the value from bbPress settings

// Get the current page
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? absint(get_query_var('paged')) : 1;

// Set up the custom query
$args = array(
    'post_type'      => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),

    'meta_query'     => array(
        array(

            'value' => bbp_get_forum_id(),
        ),

// Run the custom query

Thanks @robin-w,

Nice to see that your plugin is being updated.

Is there a default group that all users are added to? The particular forum that I want to restrict is one that everyone must be able to see and have access to. Having to manually add every new user to the right group wouldn’t work.

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

I’ve heard disabling plugins one by one and switching to a default theme can sometimes help with these AJAX functionality issues. Let me know if you try this and it works!

[priyam1234]

In the new version, I am encountering a major issue where all AJAX functionality, as well as BuddyPress and other plugins, are not working properly.

I have checked every scenario, including using the default WordPress theme, and consistently face issues due to the new version of bbPress.

I kindly request you to resolve this issue as soon as possible, as my client has raised a refund request because of this problem.

[houd]

You need to pick the allowed html tags that the users can use in your “functions.php”, like so:

function wp_bbpress_allow_tags(){
    return array(
        'span'=> array(
            'class'     => true,
            'style'     => true,
        ),
	// add other tags to allow here
    );
}
add_filter('bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'wp_bbpress_allow_tags');

Keep in mind the tags you pick here are the only tags that will be allowed, so list all of them here.

[prashpbt]

Hello Robin,

I am using the default Twenty Twenty-Two Version: 1.2 theme provided by WordPress in version WP 6.0.9, without any customizations.

Does that too need the above fix you mentioned?.

Also I have earlier version of BBpress i.e 2.6.9 working fine with WordPress 5.8 installed on one of a server, which works absolutely fine without any such issues.

Any way to debug the possible cause ?. Cause no errors in apache logs as well.
