Good day. I want to add new notification type in my site – Updated the status of the task I have assigned to the user (for example, the task completed). But by default, this function is not. How to do this?

Version WP and BP last.

I’m surprised no one has asked such a question before… Please, help me.

1. I created a new template file titled discussions-replies and discussions-subscriptions under my WordPress child theme.

2. I placed within discussions-replies the following code:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Discussions Replies Created
*/
get_header();

// Page options
$header = ghostpool_option( 'page_header' ) == 'default' ? ghostpool_option( 'page_page_header' ) : ghostpool_option( 'page_header' );
$height = ghostpool_option( 'page_header_height', 'padding-bottom' ) != '' ? ghostpool_option( 'page_header_height', 'padding-bottom' ) : ghostpool_option( 'page_page_header_height', 'height' );

3. I then created two new pages with WordPress under their parent named “Discussions”, one page titled Replies and the other Subscriptions. I then assigned each page to their proper template that I just had created.

4. Now when I load the pages, the code is asking for a current user, however it ignores and shows on Replies all replies made by all users; on Subscriptions it shows that the user has made NO subscriptions, even though they have.

Hello. I’d be grateful for some advice please.

Is it possible to change the number of forums per ‘page’ from the default 50?

I appreciate the argument for better categorisation, but the situation I have is a parent category relating to prison establishments and within that category are 104 separate forums – one for each prison establishment, so there’s no scope for categorising any differently.

As my site stands, when visiting the prison establishments page, only the first 50 forums are listed, with no pagination etc. linking to the hidden forums.

Thanks for your time.

Ash

Hello BBPRESS community,

I really want to change color of my usergroups in my forum made by bbpress.
I have the standard role (keymaster, moderator, blocked ecc) but with names modified by editing the file functions.php in my theme folder.

Now I would like to change the color in the status bar and in the topic/threads, example Administrator in the red, moderators in blue ecc.
I tried a insert this code in bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css:

.bbp-author-role-keymaster {
background:blue;
color:white;
padding:0 5px;
}

but it does not change anything, why?
I want to change color here

View post on imgur.com

and in threads/topic discussion.
How I do?
Thank you very much.

Wordpress 4.9.6
bbPress 2.5.14

Hi All,

I have a forum in SQLITE format and I want to import it into bbPress.

I decided that if I was going to have to convert to a MYSQL database, I might as well use the schema indicated in Example.php

As I didn’t *actually* have the schema, I had to *guess* based on the fields in Example.php

For example:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS forums_table (

_bbp_old_forum_id int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_parent_id int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_topic_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_reply_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_total_topic_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_total_reply_count int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_forum_title varchar(150) NOT NULL default ‘ ‘,

the_forum_slug varchar(255) NOT NULL default ‘ ‘,

the_forum_description text NOT NULL,

the_forum_order int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_forum_type int(10) NOT NULL default 0,

the_forum_status int(10) NOT NULL default 0

);

Having created the database as it is in Example.php, all I needed to do was load the MYSQL database from my SQLITE database.

Job done!

Yeah? Not so fast…

The import fails here:

SELECT convert(topics_table.the_topic_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_id,convert(topics_table.the_topic_reply_count USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_reply_count,convert(topics_table.the_total_topic_reply_count USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_total_topic_reply_count,convert(topics_table.the_topic_parent_forum_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_parent_forum_id,convert(topics_table.the_topic_author_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_author_id,convert(topics_table.the_topic_author_ip_address USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_author_ip_address,convert(topics_table.the_topic_content USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_content,convert(topics_table.the_topic_title USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_title,convert(topics_table.the_topic_slug USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_slug,convert(topics_table.the_topic_sticky_status USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_sticky_status,convert(topics_table.the_topic_creation_date USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_creation_date,convert(topics_table.the_topic_modified_date USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_modified_date,convert(replies_table.the_topic_id USING “utf8mb4”)
AS the_topic_id FROM topics_table AS topics_table INNER JOIN replies_table
AS replies_table USING replies_table.the_topic_id = topics_table.the_topic_id WHERE forums_table.the_topic_id = 0 LIMIT 0, 100

Lookee thar… a mystery field!

forums_table.the_topic_id

Are there any other mandatory fields in the import schema that are not referenced in Example.php?

And… what field from my database should I load to forums_table.the_topic_id ?

Thanks!

[u_Oi]

You can put a default IP for all registered activity:

add_filter( 'bbp_current_author_ip', function() {
 return '127.0.0.1';
} );

127.0.0.1 is the default ip in this case.

[Martin J]

Thanks for the follow up. Here is what I did…

1. Disabled all plugins except bbpress
2. I switched to a WP default theme, ie: twentyfifteen and twentyseventeen
3. Did the above with Chrome, Firefox, and MS Edge browsers

Same thing still happens. So with the admin bar disabled, and logging in from the default WP login screen, and with bbpress enabled, I just get redirected to the site’s front page — no admin page. So I still have to add wp-admin/ at the end of the url address to get into the admin area. If I disable bbpress, then everything works normal. Enable it again, goes back to the issue.

As mentioned, I’ve encountered this for at least a couple years. So based on testing, it’s not theme related and not plugin (other plugins) related. Something about bbpress is redirecting after logging in with the default WP login and not sending me directly into the admin.

If there is something coded in bbpress for “Forum logging in” for front-end users, then I can see this being relevant. However, logging into the admin, is the problem.

[Robin W]

This is not standard behaviour.

I am building a forum in Vietnamese language and the default title font does not display well in Vietnamese so I want to change it to Arial. How can I do it, please?

[ohkevmanaol]

I would love to know how to hide buttons like login or register when the user is logged in and vice versa for opposite scenarios.

Im surprised that’s not how it functions by default. Why can i access the log in page when im logged in? There should be redirect options for this.

Does anyone have any suggestions that does not involve a ton of code. Remember, that’s the whole point of WP and plugins.

[matty19901]

FYI I’m using version 4.9.6 of wordpress and version 2.5.14 of bbPress.

I added custom code to my theme functions.php page to add customized roles for bbPress. The roles show up when I edit users and want to change their roles, but when I go to save it, they just default back to a participant role. How can I fix this? Here is the code I used below:

/* bbPress Custom Roles */
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
 

$bbp_roles['my_custom_role2'] = array(
'name' => 'Producer',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role3'] = array(
'name' => 'Engineer',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role4'] = array(
'name' => 'Songwriter',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role5'] = array(
'name' => 'Staff',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$moderator = bbp_get_moderator_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$moderator] = array(
'name' => 'Moderator',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$keymaster = bbp_get_keymaster_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$keymaster] = array(
'name' => 'Chief Executive Officer',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$apprentice = bbp_get_participant_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$apprentice] = array(
'name' => 'Member',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );

[Pierre-Henri Lavigne]

Good Day everyone,

For a few years now I have bbPress and WordPress installed in French language.
Currently using bbpress 2.5.14 and WordPress 4.9.6.
The two language files bbpress-fr_FR.mo and bbpress-fr_FR.po are located in the wp-content/plugins/languages folder.

Everything looks to work fine except that since the beginning notifications mails are sent in English language. I never figured out the reason and hope someone could help me.
Everytime it’s the default template like “Mr Foo wrote:”, “New Topic”, etc…

The original WordPress install was in English language but I installed the French pack during the updates, I define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’); in wp-config.php as well and the admin interface is in french. I don’t understand. I tried to modified the .po / .mo file with a software but no effects. I’m using WP Config SMTP plugin but I don’t think it’s related, right ?

Any help / advise would be really appreciated.

[pigpotato]

I fixed it like this.

1. make css folder in wordpress>wp-content>theme>[mytheme]
2. cp wordpress>wp-content>plugins>bbpress>templates>default>css>bbpress.css wordpress>wp-content>theme>[mytheme]>css
3. add these code lines in the css file.
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input[id=bbp_anonymous_email]{ display: none; }
4. cp wordpress>wp-content>plugins>bbpress>templates>default>bbpress>form-anonymous.php wordpress>wp-content>theme>[mytheme]>bbpress
5. fix any email address in email textfield. Edit the form-anonymous.php
<input type=”text” id=”bbp_anonymous_email” value=”guest@guest.com” ….

[randomguy124]

I wish to remove certain functions and text from the forum table (such as the name of the user who started the topic and his/her avatar) to reduce the cluttering. How could I delete/edit text and hyperlinks associated with bbPress?

I’m using twenty seventeen theme.

[ohmygod88]

UPDATE
I tried changing the settings in Polylang to remove language prefix in the URL and everything is working now.

However, may I know if I wish to have ‘zh’ in the URL as prefix then how do I approach to solve the issue? I believe the issue is caused by the language prefix which bbPress does not recognize it by default.

[ohmygod88]

Hi guys,

I tried out bbpress recently and I am developing a multilingual website with polylang. Everything is working well and I created two forums with one for English and one for Chinese.

However, the search function for bbpress seems to only work for the default English forum even tho the user is on Chinese or English state of the website.

I tried to switch to the default templates but the issue is still there.

Does anyone have this issue and how do you solve it?

Running WordPress 4.9.6 and bbPress version 2.5.14

When someone goes to https://www.togetherpuertorico.com/forums/forum/volunteer-events-opportunities/ and enters their correct username and password and clicks on login, it takes them to the default wordpress login page rather than logging them into their bbPress account.

If they login on the default /wp-login.php page and then go back to https://www.togetherpuertorico.com/forums/forum/volunteer-events-opportunities/ it appears as though they are still not logged in, but if you click the refresh button in Chrome, it now appears that they are logged in.

I’ve tested this with both a wordpress admin user level account and a standard bbPress Subscriber, Participant user role status.

I’ve looked in the server php error log and nothing is recorded.

I’ve reverted back to the default TwentySeventeen theme to see if the theme we are using was the cause, but it still didn’t work.

[Tradewind25]

Hi,

I am ploughing my way through bbp Style Pack and finding it very useful. However I have a sticking point when it comes to Buttons.
a) I can ‘activate Create Topic Button’ and ‘Activate Subscribe Button’ and the default buttons appear. (i.e. small white type on a blue background).
b) If I now attempt to enter ANY Button Style parameters (e.g. font size) then I revert back to simple text on the front-end for ‘Create New Topic’ and ‘Subscribe’.
I have tried including specific values for all the Button Style parameters but still I just get text on the front-end.
