Greetings,

I am looking for the pro version of the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-user-ranks-lite/ which allows the ability for me to have role based badges below certain members on my forums however both the author’s website and the codecanyon posts of this plugin have been disabled so I am unable to get this plugin, if anyone has a copy they can send me or somewhere I can buy it I will be greatful.

I think this plugin works

bbPress – Moderation Tools

[Robin W]

lots of ways to do this, you might want to have a think about the best for you

I have a plugin called

Private groups

which lets you set up groups and may be the best solution

alternately

if you are able to ftp and edit files the message is held in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php

so

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so go into it and amend the message to what you desire.

You could instead put this in your functions file or put it in a code plugin such as

PHP code snippets (Insert PHP)

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $text == 'Oh bother! No forums were found here!' ) {
	$translated_text = 'whatever you want it to say in here!' ;
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

If I understand it, my ‘recent activity widget’ does that

you can find it in

bbp style pack

once activated you’ll find a new widget called

(style pack) latest activity

[rgilman]

How can I code an activity stream that lists only the most recent post for each topic, not all recent posts (which can include many posts from the same topic) as the standard widget does?

I’m using bbPress 2.5.14, BuddyPress 3.20 and WordPress 4.9.8 on a local dev server so no public link to the site.

I’m trying to write a conditional statement to auto tag new topics based on forum.

This is what I have so far

add_action ( 'bbp_insert_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post' , 10, 1 );
add_action ( 'bbp_new_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post', 10, 1 );
add_action ( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post', 10, 1 );

function myprefix_assign_tag_to_post($topic_id) {
if( bbp_is_forum ( '168' ) && bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) {
	wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, 'introductions', 'topic-tag', true );
}

elseif( bbp_is_forum ( '1343' ) && bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) {
		wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, 'discovery', 'topic-tag', true );

}
}

The problem is, this automatically tags the new topics with “Introductions” regardless of the forum. I tried replacing ‘bbp_is_forum’ with ‘bbp_is_single_forum’, and the same thing happens. I’ve tried replacing it with ‘bbp_is_forum_archive’ and nothing happens. I’ve even tried replacing the ID with slug, with and without the single quotes, trying it with just one IF statement, and I’m not getting the desired results.

I also tried using is_page, hoping it would be using the default WordPress call since it used in the functions.php for topics. No joy.

So, if someone could please tell me what I should be using instead of is_forum, is_single_forum, is_etc, that would be great.

By the way, there is also a bbResolutions plugin – it also works with bPress 2.6

[Robin W]

@frendeliko https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3198

it is sitting waiting for 2.5.15 or 2.6

[pkruk]

Hi
I have a bbpress forum 2.6-rc-5 (WordPress 4.9.8, php 7.2)
Google does’t index topics and replyies 🙁
I moved content from another domain (phpbb2) – 3 months ago.

I have 63k not indexed sites in Google console – condition: excluded
12k – excluded: Page scanned but not yet indexed
51k – excluded: Site detected – currently not indexed

WTF with this script?

My forum here -> https://mojakosmetyczka.pl/forum/

Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thx, regards
Pawel

[filout]

Addition:
I only get this error (in Front- and Backend) when i logged in as Administrator in WordPress. If i logged in as Participant everthing is okay.

[filout]

Users can create topics and write comments in it but when i want to see the topc and get this error

Regards, Thomas

I used WordPress v4.9.8 and bbPress v2.5.14.

[triemann]

Hi there

WordPress 4.9.8
bbPress 2.5.14

Sadly the URL is not able to be live at this time but I believe my question is actually more on the basic side of things.

When I register for an account on my website that uses bbPress all works well. I can login and subscribe to a forum. If someone creates a new topic in that forum I get a notification letting me know. However I’m noticing that if someone answers a topic in the forum I’m subscribed to I don’t get the notification.

I figured that if you’re subscribed to a Forum, that I would get notifications of replies on any topics in that forum. From what I can tell it looks like I only get a notification on new topic created.

Do I need to subscribe to the forum as well as all the topics if I want to be notified of anything happening under that forum?

Thanks,
Tanya

[Robin W]

ok – something must have changed on your site, as errors don’t just appear, and it is highly unlikely that bbpress just started erroring.

disabling and re-enabling plugins is one technique (and one I recommend often), but it si not just a plugin, but combinations and outside factors.

in your case I think you now have either one or two issues

firstly ZendGuard does not work with php7, so you need to either revert to 5.4 or more probably get rid of zend guard – do you know where and why it is there?

secondly are you using any caching plugin? – these often cause the “Error: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.” issue

[domeboys]

Thank you, Robin. I am new here, and wanted to ensure I was at the right place. I’ve had bbPress installed for the last 16 months with no problems until now.

To answer your question directly, that earlier error description is all HostGator gave me when I asked them for documentation to provide you.

Here is further background on the problem.

Today’s issue began with all users presented with “500 Error. Internal Server Error.” when accessing the site, which is a mix of free and subscriber content and has both free and subscriber forums.

By clearing browser cache, one could get on the site (both articles and forums) for about a 10 minute period before the 500 errors returned. However, during that window, one could only view the free forum, but could not enter replies, because being logged in first is a site requirement. For that same reason, one could not view subscriber articles or the subscriber forum.

During that approximate 10 minutes, when trying to log in, one was presented with a message that said “Error: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress.” This seemed to make no sense, since cookies were in fact enabled.

I tested the problem with three different browsers and it was the same – MS Edge, Firefox and Chrome. I can get into my backend WP Dashboard to administer the site with no issue.

HostGator support determined that by disabling all plugins, the problem would go away. Then the process of going through the plug-ins one by one led them to identify bbPress as the culprit. When bbPress is enabled, the 500 errors return. With it disabled, logins and both free and premium article access work normally. But both forums are down.

If there is other information I can gather, please let me know what and how to get it. Or if you need backend access to my WP installation, I am happy to grant that.

[domeboys]

This morning, my site, thecardinalnation.com was presenting 500 errors to all visitors. After three hours with support from my hosting provider, HostGator, they were able to isolate the problem to the bbPress plugin, which is now disabled. Obviously, my forums are down, but the base site is again available.

HG Level 2 support provided the following, which they said indicates that bbPress is trying to pull from PHP 5.4, although the site is now on 7.0. (The site was on 5.4 to start the day, but it was upgraded to 7.0 as part of their trouble-shooting.) HG also said that the 500 error problem would remain even if we took PHP back to 5.4.

The site is current on all code:
Wordpress 4.9.8
bbPress 2.5.14

start with

bbp style pack

[douget]

I’m creating a wordpress site for the leader of a gaming guild, and the theme he selected doesn’t show up good for bbpress. I was hoping theres a way to access bbpress forums without going through wordpress theme

[haddly]

Hi there,
I want to do a test mailing in my staging area, to see if a new WP plugin works for BBpress. In order to do this, i want to change all emails to my personal email address for all that are subscribed to the forum (so i don’t accidentally send out mails to real users,(this has actually happened to me before)). The problem is that the WP user_email is found in the DB wp_users and the forum meta info is found in the DB wp_usermeta. What SQL statement would i use if i wanted to change the email of all bbpress “Participants” to “myemail@email.com”. I want to do something like:
UPDATE wp_users SET user_email = "myemail@email.com" WHERE wp_usermeta.meta_key = "participant";

[haddly]

For some reason, emails weren’t being sent out to subscribed users when a new forum post was posted. When i started using Asychronous they started working.
I wrote to the plugin author as well (today), and he has advised to use an email queueing plugin (due to the fact it calls the wp_mail() function. And then use the queueing plugin to set a number less than 100 with an interval.
I will try his advice, but unfortunately there are 2 plugins i found, both of which haven’t been updated in 3 years such as: https://wordpress.org/plugins/smtp-mailing-queue/

[lflier]

Same problem here. Forums are not appearing in the WordPress menu editor.

The solution (once more with feeling) is to click the tab entitled “Screen Options,” which appears at the top of the WordPress menu editor page, towards the right. Then check the “Forums” box.

If you don’t see the tab, it might be obscured by a plugin notification. That’s what happened to me…

[Robin W]

personally I wouldn’t bother for such a small number, but there are lots of plugins to do this.

Just go to the repository https://wordpress.org/plugins/ and type in ‘revision’

[shanebp]

If you are a site admin and want to give your moderators the power to block spammers, then this plugin may be of interest to you.

It allows mods to change the forum role for a user to blocked which will stop them from using the forum.
It does not allow mods to change a user’s WP role.
It does not give mods additional access to wp-admin.

You can get it from the WP repo:
bbp Auto Block Spammers

Or from PhiloPress.

[Robin W]

Emails are notoriously difficult to fault find, as so much is beyond the website.

So start with

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress setting/general is fred @gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred @mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Different email providers have different rules, so an email to fred @aol.com may be treated differently than fred @google.com if google and aol have different rules as the email passes through their servers, so some may get through and others not.
3. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/
4. Some people have fixed it with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

[maksanse]

Hi ! I encounter since a few days a strange and very annoying issue :

When I am logged in as an admin to my bbpress forum, the editing toolbar does not appear :
NOT WORKING

But when I log in with a subscriber account, I see it correctly :
WORKING

I got the same issue with Twenty Fifteen theme from wordpress. So I thought it was a matter of plugin.

I deactivated all the plugins excepted bbpress & bbpress Toolkit and I still have the same issue.

So : The problem occurs on Chrome, Safari & Chrome for iOS

– it seems not to be an issue of theme,
– it seems not to be an issue of plugin compatibility,
– it’s not an issue of css either… (the editor elements just don’t appear in DOM)
– it seems not to be an issue of bbpress version (I tried to revert to version 2.5.13 and it still doesn’t work)

I am a little bit confused… Can you please help me ?

Best regards

[Robin W]

bbpress just users wordpress login, so not really a bbpress issue.

I can only suggest you either post in the wordpress support forum, or the easy WP SMTP forum
