Hi there,
I’m trying to find out a way that gives me a quick topic posting widget in the dashboard as the one for posts present by default in wordpress dashboard. Please, I would appreciate a help. Thank you for your time.

what the heck it should do the opposite.

create me an admin account so i can try to find what could be causing the issue with your site.

send the login details to my email.

i will email you when i start checking everything out , and i will not touch anything. just look over and see if there might be an issue.

Hi

We are converting mingle forum into bbpress

In the existing mingle forum we have only 5 forum and not more than 5 topics in each forum. When we tried Tools -> Forum -> import we could able to convert only forum. We could not able to import any of the topics. I checked with 2013 theme also. Same issue occurs. Please suggest.

Wordpress version: 4.2.1
Theme: Thesis 2.1
bbpress version: 2.5.7
Mingle forum version: 1.0.33

Thanks

Maybe a silly one…

I want a forum on my wp site. But the forum has to be just for members.
On my site i have Menu Items Visibility Control and WordPress Access Control. If i set the forum in the menu just for members using first the visibility control, and then set the forums on hidden. Is that enough? Is that also preventing bots to crawl the forum?

I’m a noob with WP and bbpress, so if this is a really silly question, i am sorry 🙂

1. it tells you right on the topic you linked to.

2. this PHP code will help with styling a users reply by role.

function rk_show_role_classes($classes) {
    $replyid = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
    $bbp_role = bbp_get_user_display_role($replyid);
  
	$classes[] = $bbp_role;
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','rk_show_role_classes' );

3 this plugin will help

@yrisse3

pagination breaks right now with threaded replies.

the patch here fixes it though , will need some more tests before it goes to core

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2785

[Robkk]

anonymous posts should work with the voice count.

i just tested it on my test site and it seems to work.

you can try recalculating the voices in each topic by going to tools > forums > repair forums in the WordPress back-end.

[Robkk]

i dont think so

if you want this functionality consider posting a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

there is a couple of patches here , you can see if the latest patch fixes your issue.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2782

make sure to take a site backup before applying a patch.

https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups

if it still doesnt fix your issue , then you might as well restore your site from the backup then wait for a newer patch.

if you really need this fixed soon , i suggest you post a job and hire a developer jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

it worked for me, and just so you know bbPress uses some of the WordPress comments code for anonymous posting.

link to a topic i can test on and make sure you have the code placed.

the way i tested it is i tried normal anonymous posting when logged out of my test site inputted my email and name then posted a reply and topic. by default the name and email should populate automatically for my next reply and topic.

with my code it should display empty text inputs even when you already made a reply or topic.

[Robkk]

im going to guess everything was fine in 2.5.4??

those plugins you listed, i dont think they would mess with the author link.
but if you didn’t already deactivate everything except bbPress and see if the issue persists.

if the issue is still there , we would have to go through more troubleshooting to help fix this issue for you.

and just know as a last resort you might have to hire a developer to fix this issue

The ticket is https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1989, there are some specific things we want to do with revisions, we want to actually keep all revisions but only display one revision, we want to be able to “scroll through” the list of revisions, you can see an example of this in the following comment https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1989#comment:19, in that comment you’ll see previous and diff, once you click previous you’ll then see next.

If you want to join our development chat we can chat about what and where further.

To join follow the instructions here and join the #bbpress channel 🙂

I have a SMF 2.0.9 forum that I am trying to import into bbPress. When I run the built in converter it says no forums, no topics, no users and I know they are there because I have looked in the DB’s with phpMyAdmin.

It’s as though it isn’t finding the db that I am telling it to go to. I have looked in the error logs and can’t find any direction.

I want to switch this to bbPress so please advise what i should do next. I even imported it into phpBB 3.x and tried that converter but it does the same thing. When I try to count the topics or do any thing in the list it says failed.

This is what I have WordPress 4.2.1 running eleven40 Pro Theme this is a studio press theme.

Thanks,

Randal

Already publish the plugin on wordpress org. Right now without automatically flushing rewrite rules https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-permalinks-with-id/

[Robkk]

you can hire a developer to fix this for you.

post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

as for a bbPress plugin dev.

You can post anything you can find on the issue here or any type of information of your current setup and maybe they will pick this up.

allows only admins and moderators to use shortcodes

@palmdoc

in that specific plugin it imports forums one at a time.

the settings are in whatever forum you are trying to export/import

i think how you would do it is setup your forums again on your new site

then export each forum one at a time from your old site

then import your old forum data to the new forums , one at a time.

i tried the plugin and it seems to not work 100% as i was missing some topics during the import.

im not 100% sure though , but i think you could just export/import your bbPress installation using

the default WordPress export tool , and the WordPress importer plugin.

I am looking to create a forum for our site and am looking for a plugin to use. We have an existing plugin that we use for our members-only login system (Membee) can your plugin be used with an existing login system? We are using WordPress 4.2.1 running Minimal theme that we have made some customizations to.

Hi!

i set up a gallery in media uploader, inserted it in a topic i have in bbpres forum…

the gallery not work, instead of show the thumbnail and the image, show the gallery code:

[gallery link="file" ids="535,536,537,538,539,540,541,542,543,544,545,546,547,548,549,550,551,552,553,554,555,556,557,558,559,560,561,562,563,564,565,566,567,568,569,570,571"]

the same code in article, pages etc, work just fine and visualize the gallery, only in bbpress pages seems to not work.

wordpress last version, bbpress last version.

In the php-template displaying the forums, I want to check if the current forum/topic/… displayed is below a certain bbpress subforum/category.

The purpose of this is to show different wordpress menus depending on if the user is looking at the english part or the german part of the forums.

My question is: Is there a php-code to handle this?

Like:

if (we are under the german category) display german menu; 
else display english menu;

Thanks! 🙂

For anyone using the Warp framework from yootheme I found the resolution to compatibility issue that I was having:

Copy all the files from the plugin core across to the theme folder as if you want to override every single one of them. The locations are explained here: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

That’s it – now bbPress works seamlessly with my warp7 based WordPress site!

Simple !

I’m trying to add sortable columns into the backend using
add_filter('manage_reply_posts_columns' , 'custom function'); and
add_action( 'manage_reply_posts_custom_column' , 'custom function', 10, 2 );

I was able to add thes columns to ALL custom post types except replies/topics.

Are Replies/Topics somehow handled differently than other Custom Post Types in WordPress?
Is there a workaround/fix/patch that I can use to get this working?

Not mission critical, just curious and love learning how machines work:)

Thanks,
Chad

Something related to this that I wanted to do, ad because I finally found the answer I want to put it here for others to maybe find…

To remove the url link fro all author instances in bbPress but leave the author names intact you can put this in the child theme’s functions.php:

/* Remove link urls from forum author instances...
*/
add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
function remove_author_links($author_link, $args) {
$author_link = preg_replace(array('{<a[^>]*>}','{}'), array(" "), $author_link);
return $author_link;
}
