Other question, assigning a forum moderator to a forum (subforum not category) doesn’t seem to work. I assigned a user by his WordPress Username.

So I work as a web developer using wordpress, however I do not use bbPress on any of my sites currently. However I am a member of a forum that I really enjoy, however it severely lacks some elements of responsive design for mobile phones. I cannot say for sure it’s something directly related to bbPress, however being that bbPress is such a large platform I have to assume there is a solution.

The problem:

The problem is related to multiple quotes inside of a post. When a person quotes a reply that was also quoting a previous reply we get multple “quote” section before the new content. The result on a mobile phone is that the quotes get squished into single character per line so it looks

l
i
k
e

t
h
i
s

Is there a solution to making the previous quotes either hidden in a spoiler tag by default or simply show only the 1 quote per post on mobile?

Here is a screenshot of what I’m talking about: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DbJjmuCinBhP1yhprZXcNC_ZMz4gj-cT

P.S. I am not a developer on this website, but I thought I’d present a solution to the owner to help him out 🙂

P.P.S. I noticed he uses elementor as well, so not sure if that has any relation.

How to Add Nofollow Link in WordPress and Why

[mrwassen]

Hi guys,

I am fairly new to the bbpress world. The issue I am having is that a user subscribed to a forum receives an email notification when a new topic is posted, but NOT when somebody replies to a topic.

I setup a brand new site with only bbPress and buddypress and replicated the issue there. My versions are:

Wordpress: 5.0 (also an issue on v. 4.9.8 in the live site)
Buddypress: 4.1.0
bbPress: 2.5.14
Theme: Twenty Nineteen v. 1.0 (bundled)

I am unable to find any settings other than “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics” in the Forum Settings which is ticked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dennis

I have given an honest effort searching to find out which plugins or modifications are needed.. not much luck finding these answers.

What bbpress addon is the wordpress support forum using to put the little check mark on a resolved topic? I did find a support plugin, but its not the right one.

And how is the styling accomplished in the forums there (and here) where you see the “Started by: <username> in: <highlighted forum name>”. I am also trying to get the Freshness column left aligned as opposed to centered in its column.

When i create new topic it shows normally no issues!!
But i had a huge data that needed to be imported on the same site. I used WP All Import Plugin for the import and I imported the data into topics… Actually I only require the topics section so there is forum I want to show… I managed the look. But after the import finished. I cant see the list of topics that meant to be seen on my homepage. Though I see the topics in the sidebar under related topics. I used shortcode [bbp-topic-index] to show the topic on my homepage.
I can also see the topic in my wordpress topics section…
So, I decided to take a look in my database. I saw that earlier when i created topics it was stored in wp_posts table but now after import all that new data is in wp_pmxi_ tables and topics were in wp_pmxi_topics table. I don’t know if that supposed to be but I cant solve this issue… I even imported data again in posts which then went to wp_posts table in database but ofcourse wordpress was taking that as posts not bbpress topics…
Can please someone help me out?

Hello. WP version 5.0 BB Press Version 2.5.14

I have a quick question. I have searched and found no answer thus far. It involves creating categories and forums under them categories and then topics showing up in categories that they don’t belong in.

Example:

Category Example 1:
Forum Example 1
Forum Example 3

Category Example 2:
Forum Example 2:

Now say I post a topic in Forum Example 2 under the category Example 2. When I go to read any topics in category example 1 forums 1 or 3, I see every single post made in category 2. Now that is kind of counter productive is it not? I do not see the need to create categories and forums if all posts are going to show up no matter where I look anyhow.

I have never met a forum system that does this. I helped develop a piece of software based on a forum with close to a million downloads before we called it quits so I am a shade on the forum familiar side but this boggles my mind. I am rather new to WordPress and BBPress so I am more than sure it is my missing a setting or something?

I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this. I am having a good time with it thus far. My sincerest apologies if this has been covered and beat to death already.

[Robin W]

no.

The simplest way is to use this plugin

Code Snippets

and put the code in there

[John James Jacoby]

Yes, there is.

I must not have edited the link when I updated and saved the rest of the page.

I’ve updated the page now. Here’s the link if you need it:

Sorry about that!

@robin-w There are 500 members in my wordpress website. I have created 4 groups, named A,B,C,D and i want to give permission to user 1 to group a & b and user 2 to b & d. Is there way to assign permission to that user without editing his/her profile?

Even i tried bulk action to assign permission to user but i can assign only one group permission to users. 🙁 🙁

I am using following link to assign permission to users.

OK guys, probably not really relevant now, but I experience the same issue and found this thread.

Here is solution I use:

add_filter( 'wp_mail', function( $args = array() ) {
	/**
	 * If WordPress wants to send an email to bbp_get_do_not_reply_address() we check
	 * if $search_header is set. If it is, we take its value (email address) and set
	 * it as "to" address. Also we unset the $search_header.
	 */
	$search_header = 'Bcc:';

	if ( bbp_get_do_not_reply_address() === $args['to'] && is_array( $args['headers'] ) ) {
		foreach ( $args['headers'] as $key => $header ) {
			if ( false !== stripos( $header, $search_header ) ) {
				$args['to'] = trim( str_replace( $search_header, '', $header ) );
				unset( $args['headers'][ $key ] );
				break;
			}
		}
	}

	return $args;
} );

Hello,

I got a bbPress forum on my website using this template : https://afthemes.com/products/elegant-magazine

My version :
WordPress : 4.9.8
BBPress : 2.5.14

My problem is when I use search function on my forum, its works not fine : the result is not display. And when I try with Twenty Seventeen theme for exemple, the search works.

My question is : What I must do ? Change my theme ? Or its possible to fix it with my current theme.

Thanks in advance bbPress family !

[Foliferous]

In the WordPress settings under “Discussion”. I guess this affects the Avatars on the forum as well.

[grignondev]

Hello, I tried to repair the forum one option by one, and its didnt fix the problem.

I forget to say my version :

WordPress : 4.9.8
BBPress : 2.5.14

I refresh my permalinks, not working too. Anyone got an idea ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi,

With WordPress 5 imminently upon is, I wanted to check whether there are any anticipated issues using bbPress in a WordPress 5 install that is running the Classic Editor?

I am assuming that as bbPress is used for the support forums on WP.org it will be ok?

Thanks in advance,

John

I am using bbPress and i have created 5 categories E.G general chat, random discussion, marketing, media, off topic. I want to set limitation for users. I want to restrict general chat and random discussion for user A and media, off topic for user B and random discussion, media for user c. Is there any plug-in (free or paid)?

Waiting for your kind reply.

[Robin W]

my style pack plugin allows you to do that

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Order

[dmalkin]

Having a really difficult time figuring out a way to output topic reply time stamps in a users local timezone. I have a forum with global users and this is a necessity.

WP version: 4.9.8
bbPress version: 2.5.14

Currently using this plugin: Localize Time (https://wordpress.org/plugins/localize-time/)

I am wrapping the bbp_get_reply_post_date() with the shortcode [localize_time]; however, I cannot alter the format of the output date from the shortcode.

I need an alternate solution.

[Robin W]

I’ve just added this functionality to my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Display
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topics Index Styling
