by code

//create vertical list subforum layout
function custom_bbp_sub_forum_list() {
  $args['separator'] = '
';
  return $args;
}
 add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_sub_forum_list' );

or this plugin has it as a setting in

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display

Oh, how can I get rid of the search function in the admin bar?

Don’t have the admin bar – it is horrible and breaks away from your theme, bbpress has profile edit which let the user access their profile.

There are plenty of plugins to hide the admin bar

That is indeed it, thanks! So I was barking the wrong tree, nothing wrong with WordPress being able to access bbPress.

Where should one look for bbPress function documentation these days? I notice that I have difficulties finding information, and when I do find something, figuring out if the functions are for bbPress 1, bbPress 2, or BuddyPress is sometimes difficult. There is some sort of a list here but bbp_get_topic_tag_names() is not included, among others.

[Robin W]

bbpress uses wordpress login, so they only need to login once.

a public forum is visible to logged in AND not logged in
A private forum is only visible to logged in

If you set anonymous posting then everyone can post topics and replies, otherwise just logged in users can post

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>freshness display and set it there

Hi!

So….aaaallll I really want to do is change the default URL path for each new forum.

I do not want the word ‘forum’ to be in any URL, not ever. I want the word ‘forum’ to be ‘chat’ — not ‘forum’….

Example:
– current default URL path: https://sitename.com/interaction/talk-name/forum/
– desired default URL path: https://sitename.com/interaction/talk-name/chat/

No matter what I do to set it up in the ‘settings’ area in WordPress, ‘forum’ is tacked on to the end of the URL….I don’t want the term, ‘forum’ to be ANYWHERE — I want ‘chat’ to be there instead.

Suggestions?

How would I make bbPress functions available for a WordPress template file?

Specifically, I’m building some custom RSS feeds, one of which lists the latest topics posted on the website, but with some modifications. While I can pull the latest topics with a query_posts() call using (‘post_type’ => ‘topic’) and parse them with a standard post loop, I can’t figure out how to access tags related to each topic. I assume that bb_get_topic_tags() should get me the tags but the function is not available for the RSS file template which is in my WordPress template directory. I have basically been using this method for custom RSS feeds.

Since a function_exists() call for bb_get_topic_tags() returns false, I assume that I should first prime or load the bbPress plugin somehow. But how? Or am I approaching this completely wrong? I suppose I could always do a direct SQL query but I would like to avoid that if possible.

I have tried searching here and elsewhere but keep drawing blanks. The closest I could get to is this topic but it doesn’t really give an answer, or at least not one that I can understand.

I’m running the latest public bbPress and WordPress versions.

this should do it – make sure anonymous is turned on to allow creation, then this stops topics being created – ie the topic form being shown

add_filter ( 'bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics', 'rew_prevent_anonymous' );

function rew_prevent_anonymous ($retval) {
	// prevent topic creation if user is not logged in
	if ( !is_user_logged_in()) {
		$retval = false;
	}

return $retval;

}

if you don’t know how to add to the functions file, use this plugin and put the code in there

this message appears if users post topics ir replies with words that are in the wordpress blacklist

the list is in dashboard>settings>discussion

this list will catch fragments so ‘class’ will be blacklisted if you have ‘ass’ in the blacklist

I wonder If I can set an email address for bbpress that is different from my WordPress admin email address? Ideally I should be able to set a different email addresses per forum (to send notifications to the moderators and/or the keymasters).
Does anyone know of a plugin or some code to make that possible?

[jh20001]

I finally gave up and spent the ungodly amount of hours repairing and bringing the phpbb board back to life and went with that. This was a nice hope for a good change though as WordPress is so much easier to work with stability wise.

[Robin W]

ok, can’t help you further, suggest you post on

https://wordpress.slack.com/messages/bbpress/

and see if one of the devs can help

[Robin W]

go to

bbPress

and select Advanced view on the right hand side

and at the bottom of the page you will find ‘previous versions’

you can select and download from there

[alanbuddyboss]

Can anyone point me the place where i can find the unit test for specific bbpress version?

In the trac repo, only the trunk/beta/rc have the unit test folder. But on the standard release, it’s just the production version.

Maybe there’s already a way to do it in trac’s interface but I couldn’t figure out.

For example, I want to get the unit test for version 2.5.12 to run some compatibility test on my plugin. How can I get that?

Thanks much 🙂

Bumping this as the sentiment in the original post about the lack of progress with maintaining bbbpress as an active project seems to be even more relevant now than when this topic was made.

While somehow wordpress.org indicates the bbpress plugin was last updated a week ago, the current version 2.5.14 was released in September 2017.

The next release as far as I can tell is 2.60, for which the latest development version, rc5, was first put out for feedback 13 months ago.

it is not reasonable to call this project under active development.

[Robin W]

if you actually posted ‘After clicking on register button wp shows wp-login.php page but without login form. Only -1 in upper left corner.’ on a wordpress forum, why would they even mention bbpress? Youy must have asked a question mentioning bbpress.

I have looked at the issue and it is a wordpress issue, but general advice

It could be a theme or plugin issue issue, so you’ll need to test to find out which

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

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.

Then come back

[ljubomir69]

I post the same question on wordpress.org and they say: Ask on bbpress..

So, again, when I try to register on bbpress forum on my website after inserting the username and mail and pressing the Register button on https://karate-training.net/wp-login.php I see only -1 in upper left corner.

Did anyone have a similar problem?

Here is the example

When u load wordpress function inside bbpress. U already integrate both design point and database point. You only need to add WP template tags inside bbpress template.and mostly use wp default functons.
