Thanks for your reply.

Yes thats right. I added a forum and a topic in the forum, and I want to use the reply form to let the user answerfrom another wordpress page into this specific topic – in my case I want to add the reply forum in a course page of learndash – I think they use the normal wordpress post.

It works already with the shortcode [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id], but then the reply form and specific topic with its answers is shown in the page. Thats too much.

I thought of just adding the form reply and say the shortcode [bbp-reply-form] where it
belongs to.
Like the example: http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2015/02/08/shorcodeforminsidepage.jpg

Is that possible?

Hello

I have found this great plugin but I have an idea for improve his effectivity:

Now, if only ONE user report a message, that message will show the “this message has been marked as reported” message. The ideal, in my opinion, will be that you could choose how many reports are necessary to show that message. For example: only if 3 users report a reply it will show the report message.

Anyone knows how can be made?

Thanks in advance

I just checked it. I don’t have any spam comments, I have only 66 pages in my WordPress.

Seems like the error is other… No way to solve it manually or some?

Thanks

[Robin W]

so if I understand, you have a topic in a forum, but want to use a wordpress page to allow students to post replies to this, without them needing to see or visit the forum – is that correct?

[Robin W]

Not sure if you mean a theme.

bbpress uses wordpress themes.

If you want to style your forums use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robin W]

bbpress uses custom post types, so forum posts will take the next number available in wp-posts list, along with posts, pages and other custom post types.

I’d suggest that if you’ve seen a big jump, then you spam filter is probably working hard, and that the missing numbers are spam comments in wordpress.

[Robin W]

sorry for the delay in replying, weekend and other commitments

when you say

The user registers with
Username : japs
Name : John Powell

the standard wordpress registration only asks for username and email, and then allocates the nickname as username.

What is adding firstname/lastname to your registration?

[Robin W]

The profile name is actually the page header from wordpress, and you are not displaying these.

you could add it to the bbpress template for that page.

If you have ftp access and are able to copy and paste files, I’ll come back with how !

[Robin W]

Hi,

I am a validator from the Romanian team. We completed the translations for BuddyPress and bbPress in Romanian language and I wanted to try a live test. When I have install the BuddyPress in the Romanian WordPress 4.1, the Update from Dashboard immediately notified me that I can install the translation for BuddyPress, and the installation of the Romanian translation went smooth. But after I install the bbPress, nothing happened 🙁 Is there an error?

Then I exported the .po and .mo files from the GlotPress project page (https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress), rename the files as bbpress-ro_RO.mo and also for .po and manually uploaded via ftp in the wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder. Now after refreshing the Dashboard screen I have the bbPress in Romanian.
But still – the description string that is displayed on the Plugin Screen “bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress.” is in EN. I tried to find it but it seems to be missing from the GlotPress collection for bbPress.
Can somebody fix this?

Many thanks and keep up the good work!

Adi

It doesn’t show all the forum categories. It’s showing up like a blog post/page instead.

If you happen to be using Genesis theme, there’s a plugin to fix the forum index (main forum page) not displaying the forums and topics – and looking more like a broken blog post page https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

Hello

I’m having issues with bbpress. In the control panel of WordPress – Replies, I can’t see spam folder even if I mark as spam some replies…

In topics tabs I CAN see spam folder

What can be the problem?

Thanks

Edit: I just write in the url bar xxx.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=spam&post_type=reply and the spam folder and spam replies are there, so I only I’m missing the SPAM tab in replies panel

Hi,

I am using bbpress 2.5.4 and Wordporess 4.1 and everything work fine.

Is it possibe to only display the reply form with the shortcode [bbp-reply-form] on any wordpress page or in my case at a course page from Learn Dash?
as shown here:
http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2015/02/08/shorcodeforminsidepage.jpg

If I reply now the “Error: Topic Id is missing” (German: FEHLER: Themen-ID fehlt) appears. Ok, that’s traceable because I dint’s say the reply form where it belongs to. But adding a Topic ID to the shortcode like [bbp-reply-form id=223] doesn’t seem to be supported and nothing appears.

Is there any way to do that? To say the reply form on any page in wordporess in which topic it should reply.

I don’t want to add new topics to a forum or let the user select a forum from the dropdown (as described in the bbpress shorcode codex). I just want to have the reply form (without the topic posts) inside my course pages and let the people reply.

Looking forward for any help or solutions.

Grettings,
Basti

I’ve seen this with others, and it appears to be an issue going back 5 years with bbPress. When I have bbPress installed and activated, then I go to log into the admin dashboard, I am redirected to the front of the site. If I didn’t have the admin bar active, I would have to manually type in the browser address bar the dashboard url. This has been an ongoing issue and I am experiencing it yet again. It does this even with a default WP theme active and it does it locally on my XAMPP development, as well live.

So when bbPress is active, it does this redirect to the front of the site. This happens to me every single time I try it out when testing themes. I’ve even seen this happen with no other plugins, just bbPress and WordPress.

Any official solution to this? I know there are some who posted they cannot replicate the issue, but I have found a lot of people who experience the same issue. Would this be considered a bug?

My WP version is 4.1
bbPress version 2.5.4
Demo site link: HERE

My live site location is setup with WP as a network (multisite) to demo all my themes.

Thanks in Advance.

UPDATE: Forgot to mention this happens only when I log directly into the admin and not through the forum login.

I just installed bbPress on a new wordpress site (4.1), seemed to work but there is no Forums link on the dashboard menu.

[Joe Dostie]

The more I look at it, it appears to be the core WordPress “Howdy, User” admin bar…I just think I am calling it the wrong thing…

[Joe Dostie]

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone had any insight to the “My Account” menu on this site up in the top right.

Does anyone know if this is a plugin or is this all back end coded?

I checked several places bbPress and WordPress plugins but I cant find anything thats looks like it.

I did check the “Author Avatars List” plugin.

I am also guessing it might be “membership” related outside of bbPress.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

there is an excellent article here on using wordpress functions.php file

pretty much every wordpress them is compatible w bbpress out of the box at this point, but this is a good place to start –

I am having the same problem. I’ll try to be less ranty about it, but it’s definitely frustrating.

I am importing a forum from a wordpress 4.1/bbPress 2.5.4 install on an old site to a wordpress 4.1/bbPress 2.5.4 on a new site. There’s no way to do this from the Import Forum screen, so I also have done this via the standard WordPress Export/Import tool as suggested.

In my case, content shows up on the back end, but not on the front end. Also, accessing the Replies page on the back end results in a segmentation fault on the server. Taking these steps with no plugins and default theme has the same results.

Like the original poster here, I would love to find what is the correct import procedure to just move a bbPress install from one site to another.

[Deleyna]

I *think* I’m going about this the right way — but I may not be, so any advice will be appreciated.

I’ve moved a long-standing forum group onto bbpress. We’re loving it, but members have asked me to make it work more like our old program. I’ve seen a lot of chatter about view-unread elsewhere. I’m using the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/ — that hasn’t been updated in forever, but works nicely and gives us what we are used to. It creates a meta-key for each topic, each user: bbpress_unread_posts_last_visit_$user-id with the associated value being the unix timestamp.

Combined with the plugin to go to the first unread post, this works. I’ve also created buttons where the user can reset that meta-key to mark forums as read / unread.

Now I want a custom view, “Unread View”, that will look for topics where
_bbp_last_active_time > bbpress_unread_posts_last_visit_$user-id

Since $user-id is dynamic, I’m thinking that I can’t just specify the view in the functions.php file and be happy.

What I’ve done:
added:
—–
// adding custom view for unread
function my_custom_views_init() {
$args = array ();
bbp_register_view( ‘unread-view’, __( ‘Unread View’ ), array( $args ), false );
}
add_action( ‘bbp_register_views’, ‘my_custom_views_init’ );
—–
to my functions.php file.

created
unread-view.php based on loop-topics.php with the logic to test if
_bbp_last_active_time > bbpress_unread_posts_last_visit_$user-id
and only show the topic if it is… (I’m not sure if I have the logic right yet, or if this is even the right loop to put the test…)

Added a page with the short code
[bbp-single-view id="unread-view"]

But there’s clearly a link missing. I need something to tell the system that I want to use my unread-view.php instead of loop-topics.php for “unread-view” ONLY.

And I’m not sure how to do that. I’m clearly missing more than a little bit of the logic here. My programming skills are pretty basic, so any help you can give me would be appreciated.

[Robin W]

that’s a known with that plugin from looking at the support forum

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-post-type-page-template

Sorry you’ll need to google to find one

[Robin W]

yes, just create a wordpress page and put one of the following shortcodes in it

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

Try to play with this in functions.php:
For some buttons you will need to borrow them from TinyMCE advanced plugin and put in core folder, they dont come in the core. (emoticons, and some else, called “plugins”)

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $buttons = array() ) {
	
	$buttons['tinymce'] = array( 
	'toolbar1' =>'bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, blockquote, alignleft, aligncenter, alignright, alignjustify, justifyfull, bullist, numlist, outdent, indent, cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, link, unlink, table, fullscreen, image, media, cleanup, help, code, hr, removeformat, sub, sup, forecolor, forecolorpicker, backcolor, backcolorpicker, charmap, visualaid, anchor, newdocument, pastetext, separator, wp_adv,wptadv,media,image',
    'toolbar2' => 'pastetext, pasteword, selectall, formatselect, fontselect, fontsizeselect, styleselect, strikethrough, outdent, indent, pastetext, removeformat, charmap, wp_more, emoticons, forecolor, wp_help,media,image', // 2nd row, if needed
    'toolbar3' => 'pastetext,pasteword,selectall,paste_as_text,preprocess,paste,media,image', // 3rd row, if needed
    'toolbar4' => 'media,image', // 4th row, if needed 
	'plugins'  => 'anchor, code, insertdatetime, nonbreaking, print, searchreplace, table, visualblocks, visualchars, emoticons, advlist,wordpress,wplink, paste,fullscreen',
		   ); // 4th row, if needed 
    $buttons['quicktags'] = array ('buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,close');
    return $buttons;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
add_filter('mce_buttons', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor');
