I don’t think there is a free version of this plugin.

There isn’t even a free extension for users to use to make it work with bbPress from what I can see.

I would like to know how to remove the link to main Forum page that appear in the course unit when I embed the topic ( [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]) . for instance, Which file and where is it located, and what I have to change?

bbPress uses custom post types which are similar to the WordPress posts, it just outputs different templates for the display of the forum posts.

Deleting these posts, would make the shortcode not owrk.

What you would need to do is conditionally allow only users of a certain course to be able to see a certain forums or topics from bbPress’s pages not just use a shortcode to place a forum on a course page.

I have found that some user recommend some additional membership/restrict content plugins to make it work for bbPress forums this way.

It might be best to contact the wpcourseware plugins support to know what is best to hook up bbPress with that plugin.

But my link is not ending with a “/”. And it is not only when using the shortcode [url] but also when using wordpress toolbar for inserting the link.

As the user above states some hosts have a limit of emails that are able to be sent out.

Install this plugin to fix possibly part of the issue. The code used in the plugin will probably be used in a future version of bbPress.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

You may need to also look into asking your server support to increase the email limit if your emails sent grow significantly or use a service like sendgrid or mandrill.

I don’t want to import from my yahoogroups

Ok

I just want the feature of having an email address that will post to the forum subscribers without having to go into the website.

This is the only post via email plugin for bbPress I think. I am not sure if it does exactly what you are wanting by sending the message to the user they are replying to as I never really tested it out.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-via-mail/

[Robkk]

I forgot about this plugin which will essentially allow certain shortcodes like the caption shortcode.

Just add caption to the input box for the allowed shortcodes in the plugins settings page.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist

[Robkk]

This might related to the issue in this trac ticket since you said bbcode.

The plugin author of the plugin you are probably using created the ticket.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2889

[Andreas Andersen]

When I insert a link in bbpress it does not show correct on my page. All links will be stacked on the left site of the message. Here is a picture of the HTML code that is generated and how it is showed.

The problem is only in bbpress, not when inserting links in WordPress in general. It is the same no matter i I insert the link using bbcode or using the WordPress toolbar.

What can be the problem here? Is there some CSS that controls this in bbpress?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Rhonda,
Is it a public site ? If so, could you post the link ?
Did you create a dedicated WordPress page with a [shortcode] or you just want the use the built-in page by adding /forums after your domain ?

I’ve been working for weeks (on my off time) on a threaded view of bbpress posts and replies. Here’s the beta:

Ute Fan Board

A different look more similar to an old school list forum style. Lots of work to do but here’s what it does so far:

1. Different format, more list/threaded. Recent topics show with the topic replies below
2. Works on a page outside of bbpress, but hooks some bbpress functions.
3. Posts new messages and replies, with metadata.
4. Allows user to expand/shrink content area of each post/reply
5. Posts/replies show as modal popup window instead of at the bottom of the forum.
6. WordPress visual editor enabled (some bugs)
7. Pagination

Current bugs and pending additions:

• Edit post/reply
• Posts made from forum-threads do not show up in buddyPress “recent activities”
• Visual editor add link does not work.
• Twitter share button not setup yet
• Facebook share button not setup yet

It’s pretty hacky and I’m sure the code is not all that great, but it “seems” to work. I’ll be working on my bugs and new features soon.

Hey

I”m trying to use ldap accounts with bbpress (AuthLDAP plugin)

Wordpress roles are working pretty nice but bbpress roles are lost after each connection:

for example , i give admin role for a user ,then when he logs in his rights are deleted (or replaced by blank)

I think it is because it is considered like a new user ( default role option is NOT activated)

Any idea to deactivate?

Thx

[Axel13]

Since the page you refer to, Pascal, says:

Unfortunately, it’s difficult to ascertain from within bbPress exactly what other plugin causes this to happen, so bbp_setup_current_user comes up in the logs.

Perhaps it’s useful to know that I also see this notice, yet only on localhost and that Yoast SEO has something to do with it. The notice disappears when deactivating Yoast SEO. I do not see any notice when activating both plugins on my site.

Here is the error with some more details:

( ! ) Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().

Hi,
posts are just custom post types (topic, reply) and have metadata attached. bbPress is following standard WordPress rules in the database.

For bbPress functions and filters, I normally end up on http://hookr.io/plugins/bbpress/2.5.6/functions/

Wordpress: 4.3.1
Divi Theme: 2.5.5
BBPress: 2.5.8
bbp style pack: 2.8.3
http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/forum/

Hi – I am new to BBPress. I am hoping some one may be able to assist with the page formatting of the forums/category/topic pages et etc. I am trying to get it as close to this:

http://dtcdc.freeforums.net/

as I can.

With bbpress style pack I was able to do alot without having to mess with any code of files -I do not have alot of coding experience or working within the server on files.

Right now – I have the following short codes in a Divi Page – this is my Forum Index Page:

[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1106’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1130’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1154’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]

1. This is giving me the “boxed” look for each separate forum I want – I can not figure out how to get the header title of each forum changed. Where it says “Forums, topics,posts, freshness” instead of Forum – I would like it to state the name of the forum I have created (like the first one be “Community Forum”, then the 2nd one would be “Platinum Members Forum” & the 3rd “Diamond Members Forum”).

These would not be links to anything. Just the forum title. So that when an actual forum below in the “box” is clicked on it goes straight to that forum page showing all topics under that forum.
(I hope I am using the correct terminology here.)

2. I can not get the description to show up underneath each category on the forum index page. Is the only way to achieve this to do something to the files in wp?

3. The topic pages (submit & view) have a big line running down the right side of the pages down into the footer – is there anyway to remove that line and make the pages full width or a custom width?

Divi Theme does provide an Epanel where I can put css coding in without having to change any files. If anyone has any ideas how to achieve these changes (hopefully without altering files) I would appreciate the help & guidance.

Thanks!

@omj-1

This is the CSS causing the issue.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content {
    clear: both;
    margin: 10px;
    padding: 0;
}

The reason why when reply threading is enabled fixes the issue is because the list .bbp-body self closes and makes the above CSS not work.

Here is the ticket about the reply threading markup bug.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2757

You can use this custom CSS to fix the issue.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content {
    clear: none;
}

1. How do I set up my site to where people can log in with a WordPress / Gravatar account?

Jetpack has a module in it for users to login using their wordpress.com account, if that is what you want.

https://jetpack.me/support/sso/

2. The profile page title does not show up and using the Yoast plugin I can’t find any way to target it. Any advice?

You have to use a filter and use custom code to customize the titles. Here is an example of some custom code to that that type of thing for some of the profile pages.

Change meta/page title for user pages

3. What’s a good plugin to use for things such as easy navigation for users?

It depends on what exactly you want. I really do not have any opinions on this type of thing, but it depends on how the rest of your site is set up and the look you are going for.

[Robkk]

I think you guys can just hot-patch the issue until the bug is fixed in core and so you guys do not mess with any other core code to cause any other possible issues.

Hi Filip-T,

What I know is that forum moderation is being reviewed and improved a lot for v2.7 of bbPress. For now there is standard moderation and blacklisting as described here: https://codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/

I’m not aware of other plugins then the one you have found, but it seems to have some issues with the latest WordPress/bbPress.

Pascal.

[Filip-T]

Hello there!

I’m looking for a feature to approve all topics before they appear on the site.
I can’t provide bbPress version or a link to the site, as i haven’t installed bbPress yet.

I’ve been looking around the forum and the documentation, but i haven’t been able to find anything, except for the following, which is outdated now: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

So does bbPress, support this feature?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi,
The closest one I see is https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-date-time-change/
It seems to show ALL post types, but I didn’t test it at all. Use with care as it’s probably changing directly at database level.

Hi,

If you are still interested, I have added it into my bbP Toolkit. It does NOT need any files to be copied or created. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
It should work if you pasted it correctly somewhere.
If you don’t manage, you can try to install the bbP Toolkit (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/) as it is now one of the options.
Pascal.

[Billistic]

When I edit the forum and look at the Publish box, there’s no date edit option. The box only has a preview changes button.

Wordpress Version 4.3.1

BBPress Version 2.5.8

Outstanding!!! So much more than I had expected.

This makes such a huge difference for me. I greatly appreciate the time and careful effort to thoroughly explain this all for me so clearly. This will help me get to a new level in Things WordPress.

Thank you
Cheers!
