Hi,
i’m using Buddypress groups extras plugin for to add custom pages in section of group

I have created manually three page for one group so the administrator can edit them.

But I ask you:
1) can I create this three pages as default for all present groups and future?
2) can I associate a template to these pages?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I was battling with this issue too. I didn’t want to abandon the Yoast SEO plugin so this is the function I added to functions.php in my WordPress theme to fix the issue:

// fix yoast seo plugin issue with user title
function fix_not_found_title($title){
if (is_bbpress()){
if ($title == ‘Page Not Found – SiteNameHere’){
return ‘Forum User: ‘.bbp_get_displayed_user_field( ‘display_name’ );
} else {
return $title;
}
} else {
return $title;
}
}
add_action( ‘wpseo_title’, ‘fix_not_found_title’ );

It’s a bit of a hack but it works for now. I hope that helps!

Cheers,

Sebastian

Thanks. I had been searching and talking on wordpress.org and been told bbPress but simply because of the key word ‘forum’ and not my real need for a single page bulleten board. My search continues…

Hello People

I’m tried to install bbpress on my website http://journeybyafricans.com but I keep getting an error message Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 92160 bytes I’m currently using WordPress 4.0 and the latest version of BBpress.

Thanks

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[patbell101]

I want to have a single discussion page on my website. As far as I can see bbPress is for multiple forums and wordpress is for pages and blogs. Am I barking up the wrong tree trying to mix them?

[millerguide]

Robin W., after reading that, I think I should explain my problem better. I do not want to change my entire WordPress site’s language. I really just want the ability to customize the text on bbpress, such as “Create New Topic”. I want the text to be both in Chinese and in English. Is there a way to manually do that? Thank you.

Hi

If you mean “3. Creating a forum page”, method 2, I tried that & was able to create this forum using the shortcode => [bbp-forum-index].

On the Forum settings page & “/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=forum” page, it seems this only deals with the forum supposed according to the bbpress default settings to appear at /forums, but consistently wont.

Does it mean all the forums & subforums have to be created using shortcodes (if so, any link where to find them?).

This problem is not being experienced on another site sharing the same web hosting account, and has a separate domain. In the root of this particular, problematic site is some web directory. I wonder whether its moved the site to?

I had a similar issue of consistent failure of accessing /recipes, generated by the recipepress reloaded plugin showing the recipe archive page, even with recommended default settings & permalinks, but just like the bbpress forum at /forums, it had the right url, but content of the site/blog front page. The plugin author, though said it was a bug in the plugin & changes in the code corrected the problem described here. Correct link now here.

Could there be anything in this root folder .htaccess of the web directory (unrelated to WordPress), which may be causing this & affecting the functioning of bbpress (& not other plugins like Buddypress & co) or WordPress proper & in directory.com/wordpress & even in wordpress.directory.com? I ma not conversant with .htaccess & co. 😉

So just wondering what to do next.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

Kind regards

[Robin W]

you won’t be changing subscriber – that is a wordpress role – bbpress has it’s own roles, and probably that is participant.

I’m sure you can , but haven’t tried so don’t have code offhand.

Suggest you just create a new custom role, and then set your bbpress user to it.

[Robin W]

I think you found a topic on an issue – since it didn’t fix it, suggest it is not relevant.

Hello everyone,

After searching about a hour I gave up and decided to create a topic.
I hope that there’s a plugin somewhere in the corners of bbpress which suits the idea i have.

I managed to block the creation of topics using the ‘bbPress Protected Forums’ plugin, however I can not find any plugins to block replies/comments on these topics.

I would like to add this since I will be adding a ‘Read this first before you post!’ with the rules in it at every single subforum and I dont want any replies on those.

Could anyone help me out with this?

OS: CentOS 7
Wordpress version: 4.0
bbpress version: 2.5.4
bbPress Protected Forums version: 1.0

[Robin W]

Can it be installed on a club website for “members only” to view the whole bbPress section?
• Can you set up different forums to be only accessed/viewable to certain members?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

• Can it host pictures?

Usually people use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/

[luisthegeek]

I just installed the latest version of bbPress and am going through all the configuration right now. I have everything almost exactly how I want it except the login. When a player registers for the site, they are redirected to the /wp-login page and sent an email from wordpress. Is there any way to change that page and to customize the email that they are sent to say the name of my organization instead of wordpress?

@bestru, to your four questions, no, no, oh, and no 🙁

Attachments are on the drawing board for a future release, it is a complex request because as attachments can be various file types and in particular size is the killer here, during import waiting for a file from what could be a remote source is what breaks this for us, I have a solution planned and have started testing this but at this stage it is a no go for now, avatars are also in this same boat.

For private message you will need a plugin as bbPress does not suppoort private messages out of the box, maybe BuddyPress would do the trick for you here, I’d like to be able to import private messages as BuddyPress private messages in a furture version though.

The post date should be accurate, you should have your WordPress install using the same timezone offset as your existing forum used and then times should match.

im busy trying to overhaul the design of my site, change to a better ssd hosting, and some other stuff thats making me quite busy.

the layout that im going to share is quite different than the one im going to use on my site.

the layout im going to share will not have the profile dropdown menu, forum color coordination, and topic stats inside of the actual topic post, reply upvoting , reply and topic sharing,

forum color coordination will basically be a modified version of this plugin https://github.com/master5o1/bbPress-Forum-Colours

topic stats inside of the actual topic is easy its bascially just putting code thats already in bbpress and just styling around it. i just want to leave that out of the layout.

reply upvoting is just a modified plugin i found , i think it was this https://wordpress.org/plugins/like-dislike-counter-for-posts-pages-and-comments/
im am not a fan really of reply upvoting anymore because all i see it as is just a number.
i would like an upvoting plugin that sort of works like reddit that bumps up the topic, or sorts topics by popularity which i think you can do if you do a custom view in bbpress, or like how wordpress.com likes work or like buddypress favorites but i havent learned enough to know to do this myself.

reply sharing i thought was kind of useless in my opinion too, because i want people to just share the topic and bring them in the topic than to see a certain reply of the topic.

topic sharing i didnt add because i just used jetpacks sharing and people hate on jetpack alot so i cant just leave that there for them, i will leave a comment in the templates on where to put some sharing plugins template tag code though.

the shortened edit log is basically the modified time template tag that wordpress supplies.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_modified_time
with the revision count, i used something custom til i looked into the templates of bbpress to find that they have a template tag for reply/topic revision count so im using that now in the layout.

topic/reply admin links will have icons but instead it will be genericons or dashicons then the fontawesome icons i am using.

the overall layout will stay the same with big avatars in the topics loop, removing small avatar, yeah the rest of the layout.

and also there are many ways i found of created a better mobile layout, so i might share those later too.

[joemerchant2]

I’m using the wordpress theme Academy which uses the wordpress profile and gives the ability to upload an avatar. I want this same avatar to carry over to the user’s bbpress avatar. Therefore, when a new uploads a new avatar to the wordpress profile, it’s automatically displayed in bbpress.

ONE IMPORTANT POINT. When I click “edit” on my bbpress forum profile, it does show the wordpress avatar as the “profile photo” with a browse button, but the main avatar in the upper left-hand corner still shows the default gray image.

[CodingMachine]

Okay, here we go i’m new to wordpress and using bbpress plugin for the first time, so throws me out with lots of question. I’m designing a site Called PTForum that is completely a Parent and teacher forum i’ve tried and have come to some good position modifying bbpress as per my needs but i’m stopped to problem that i’m unable to understand how to do so please any help will be appreciated.

As bbpress show’s up default role’s (participant,moderator…) in the forum topic’s and replies but as per my needs i want this way …
1) Either display my site role, as per needs i have created custom role’s (parent and teacher) which user choose while registration and so want the same role to be displayed in the forum.

————–or————–

2) set dynamic role for bbpress forum itself so that it displays the selected role.

Thanks in advance …. you can vist this

[WingingIt74]

I have a few questions:

• Can it be installed on a club website for “members only” to view the whole bbPress section?
• Can it host pictures?
• Can you set up different forums to be only accessed/viewable to certain members?

I may have a few more questions later, since I’m new to wordpress.

[Robin W]

something has changed !

Have you added any functions, or might be a plugin

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Otherwise try adding this at the bottom of your functions file

function change_reply_order() {
$args['order'] = 'ASC';
 return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'change_reply_order');

[Stephen Edgar]

I just tested the topic tag import and everything appears fine for me.

* I created a WordPress post tag topic
* I created a WordPress post category topic
* I created a WordPress post and added the tag topic and category topic to the post
* Imported from bbPress 1.2 with topics including the topic tag topic

All results appear fine for me, I have posts/topics correctly associated with each taxonomy:
* http://example.com/tag/topic/
* http://example.com/category/topic/
* http://example.com/forums/topic-tag/topic/

[Stephen Edgar]

Stephen my rant was no way a slight against you and your work, assuming you’re the lead programmer? I know it’s been a hard road, I’ve been using bbpress since version .9, and seen a few leads over the years.

I didn’t take it that way at all 🙂

@JohnJamesJacoby is the lead developer, I’ve just hitched along for the ride since trying to migrate from phpBB to bbPress didn’t work, I do far more than just the import side of things now, I’m still learning PHP and constantly finding more and more ways to improve bbPress.

Much to my delight, the posts in the wp category were not deleted, just the category itself. So I just recreated the category and put those posts in it again.

Excellent

But the tags in the wordpress site were definitely overwritten in the migration, including any custom taxonomies using the same slugs.

Ok, that’s a problem, it is also a scenario I haven’t tried and or thought of even though bbPress does register its own custom taxonomy. I’ll take a look at doing some imports with existing taxonomies in WordPress (tags/categories) and see what happens.

I also hope for a bright bbPress future and I have a pretty big wish list for it also, some documented around the place, some not 🙂
