Hi,
You tried to switch to different permalinks settings, save it, then switch back to the settings you wanted and save again ?

If you did, then I suspect a plugin conflict somewhere. Try to disable all other plugins and switch to a default theme, then reactivate one after the other.

Hi,

Categories on the left as a menu, that would be some custom development I think…

Email notifications should come automatically for new topics (if you are subscribed to the forum) and for replies (if you are subscribed to the topic).

Tags should be allowed by default, not sure what the question is.

Pascal.

[JC1520]

How do i remove “Create New Topic” as it shows as default at the bottom of my forum i would like to remove this.
I want to disable “Create New Topic” in for all logon users
I want to control the topics myself and only allow particpants to reply to topics that are in the forum. I have the lastest version of WP and BBpress.

[blandow]

So it didn’t work…
(The results I get when I start the import is no topics to import, no threads to import, etc)

This is my config.php file:

Hi Gunilla,

Can you please try to switch to a default theme and see if it solves the issue ?

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
All translations are now centrally managed. Danish seems to be at 92% for the stable version.
Anybody can contribute to the translation (https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/da/default/wp-plugins/bbpress)

When it reaches 100%, you can get in touch with a Global Translator Editor for the Danish locale to see how to continue.

Pascal.

[grungyape]

So, I changed the forum layout, which means I no longer see the default page. In effect, while I still do not know if an image should show, I no longer see the page so I no longer care.

Thank you, this can be closed.

[Pascal Casier]

Did you try to switch to a default theme ?
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
The current Bulgarian translation still has some strings waiting: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/bg/default/wp-plugins/bbpress
If it reaches 100%, it should come automatically.

Please talk to one of the General Translation Editors on Slack: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=bg_BG

Pascal.

[shareef790]

Hi Robin
Yes in the default theme, the date is not showing on the homepage of bbpress which is good. The theme developer earlier when I asked is not supporting on this at all. Any idea or clues or atleast to remove the date completely from the homepage please.. appreciate your help thanks

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Manuel,
All help is appreciated !
To contribute to the translations, you just need to have a WordPress account and you can start translating strings: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/de/default/wp-plugins/bbpress
When there are no strings left to translate, any German GTE could validate the package.
But let me forward your request to the team here anyway.
Pascal.

[Robin W]

The default role is set during login not during user creation (as that is done by wordpress) . Ie if a user doesn’t have a role, then this is set to the default role when the user first logs in.

So on import or indeed user creation, the database is not changed. As each user logs in for the first time it is set.

Part 1

The form is held in

bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

you’ll see several do_action hooks you could use, or indeed you could amend this template and save it in your theme as a new version.

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-reply.php
and bbpress will use this instead.

Most of the template used in bbpress are held in

bbpress/templates/default/bbpress so hunt around in there for topic forms, profiles etc.

Part 2

` $forum_id = bbp_get_reply_forum_id($post_id);
`

[Robkk]

bbPress basically has search equal to the default WordPress search, so just basic functionality.

You can extend the default search in bbPress by using custom functions and modifying some bbPress search template files by placing the in a folder called bbpress in your child theme. Here is a GitHub repository that has some example files you may use, you will need to edit the files as it may be in Russian.

I have seen users use plugins and extend the default bbPress search functionality, and also services like Google Custom Search too.

[Robin W]

ok, it’s not a good idea to post user access details on the website.

I took a quick look, but please DELETE my username to prevent you being spammed.

This may be either a permalinks issue, or theme or plugin

so try

Permalinks

This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings>Permalinks, MAKE A NOTE OF WHAT IT IS SET TO, then select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

If that doesn’t fix, Then

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

@morok

Do you have a forum or category called forum??

The default bbPress breadcrumbs can include the parent forum/categories name in the breadcrumbs, but it shouldn’t just display the post type like that.

[willywonkabar]

Hey superaven,

That’s a perfect answer, actually. I was hoping that the move was successful, but even with what you shared, there’s still value in your answer. So thanks for that.

We’re currently testing BBPress and plan to test Xenforo and Discourse as well. Xenforo has its origins in VB, so to us, that seemed like the most like-for-like switch, but as we’re also a WP shop, with 10 years worth of posts, we were hoping to bring everything to WP, or find something with cleaner integration with WP. bbPress is/was our hope for that. As we currently stand, with our hybrid WP/VB site, user authentication, access control, and user profile data defaults to VB, using an open-source VB plugin. We want to bring that into WP, so we can take advantage of some other WP-specific plugins/services, keeping that user profile data (and profile pages) in WP instead, without needing custom code. Having all of that under one roof has its obvious advantages.

We’ll continue to test bbPress and the other platforms on our end. Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated.

[BeePee]

With no plugins activated, and my theme activated it doesn’t work. Enable a default theme and it works – definitely theme related

[Dotstore]

@casiepa,

I am thinking of migrate my XenForo forums to bbpress forums.

My problem is that my fourms data are very huge approx 169000 users and approx 6269000 rows of xf_post table so my XenForo’s database’s table sizes are in giga bites.

-> So my question is does bbpress default importer tools is able to import these huge data on single click.?
-> Is there any extension or plugin required to import my users and forums from XenForo ?

Please let me know your thoughts so that I can move forward to it.

Thanks,
Multidots

[cassel]

Thanks.
I immediately found that the Edit works with the default WP theme of Twenty Fifteen.
I contacted the theme developer with that information.

[BeePee]

Hi everyone.

I recently made a theme for a client and this is the first time I’ve included bbpress. Bbpress works with the default themes, but not for my custom theme and I can’t seem to find any documentation around to fix this – I’m getting the “Error: Are you sure you want to do this?” message.

Is there a theme support option I need to enable or something?

Regards,

Aaron.

Hello

Thanks. Just to confirm with you, suppose the role tutor is a role that can not create topics but can edit the reply s/he creates. Accordingly, is the code below be correct?
