i think its really like making a plugin for wordress except you use bbpress’s hooks
but i havent gone in too deep in knowing how to create a plugin.

this plugin helps on finding all of bbpress’s hooks
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-visual-hooks/

and im sure information in documentation will help.

Codex

heres some information that i found real quick that i think could help.

Plugins

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 4

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 5

if you need anymore help create a new topic titled “Need Help on bbpress plugin development”

and maybe robin or stephen can help from there.

robin already has tons of plugins made for bbpress
and stephen is one of the core developers

well when i look at mycred i see its pretty powerful .

it has a points system and also badges http://mycred.me/add-ons/badges/

heres a link of everthing thats built in

Add-ons

wp acheivements also has built in compatibility with mycred , bbpress, userpro , wordpress, woocommerce, and cubepoints

Their is also another i think completely free plugin called achievements for wordpress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/achievements/

this also has built in compatibilty with bbpress , and i think the plugin developer also is a part of team of developers of buddypress maybe bbpress too but not sure.

I would test out all the free achievement plugins first on a local development server like wamp for windows , or mamp for macintosh and see what suits your needs.

Hi all,

I have a WordPress 4 / bbpress plugin installation.
I’d like to the able to insert a table into posts on the forum (like this one here).
Stuff I found mostly concerns either user authentication / MySQL (not what I’m after), or it doesn’t work (using the [table]…[/table] tags).
Could anybody please point me in the right direction, or tell me how to do this?
thanks!

[Robkk]

the ip address is only visible to keymasters and i think moderators too.

stars and medals sounds like an achivement plugin. you can search the wordpress.org plugin repository for one that is compatible with bbpress.

I am using WordPress 4.0 and bbPress 2.5.4. My site is http://tomscustomwoodcraft.com using the Aspen Pro theme. I am also using the bbPress WP Tweaks plugin. I have followed the documentation to setup the Forums and that’s working, but when I try to use the sidebar for registration and login nothing shows up. The documentation says to go to the wp-content directory to check the page template(s). I know nothing about coding and I have no idea how to get to wp-content directory. Please help!!

Thank you very much Robkk, so then I must assume there is no plugin with these kind of functionalities? I have set moderator privileges to all my forum moderators with certain capabilities (like edit forums, delete forums, etc…) and do not want them to enter the wordpress admin area to ban unwanted users. That’s why I’m searching for a bbpress plugin in order to add these ban capabilities to my moderators only on the bbpress side.

Cheers.

[Robkk]

well moderators can look at forums in the front end and then use the admin links to either sticky the topic , close the topic, spam the topic etc.

banning users permanently would require a different plugin to ban the ip address of the user ,search some security plugins in the wordpress.org plugin repository have this feature

banning users temporarily you can just go to users>all users search for the person your trying to ban for a short while then change their forum role to blocked. then when the temporary ban is done you can just switch back.

1. to get a full-width forums, you need to create a bbpress.php more information in this link

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

after you create a bbpress.php from your page.php just delete the sidebar code that should say like
<?php get_sidebar in the template.

2. You can follow this tutorial on this website to replace the voice count with a views count.

Adding Topics View Counter in BBPress

there are other ways to display views in bbpress also like by using this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-simple-view-counts/

3. Are you talking about the layout of the reply author area on ip board where it shows an image based on user role and the total post count of the user??

images based on forum role i cant find a solution just yet , might post solution later . Its most likey just going to include alot of conditionals based on forum role.

total post count for users is easy, you can easily just use robins plugin

’d be grateful for some help.

I’ve recently set-up a wordpress site using version 4.0. The theme is twenty eleven (I’ve tried other themes as well). So far, I’ve haven’t added any content or plugins.

The only thing I’ve tried to add is bbpress (Version: 2.5.4).

After adding this plugin I get a “Fatal error: Out of memory”. I’ve contacted my hosting company and they’ve increased the memory limit to 256M by adding define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’); in wp-config.php. I’ve uninstalled and re-installed bbpress but still get the out of memory error.

I’d be grateful for any help in resolving this problem.

Many thanks,

Darren

i liked https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/ before i went to another solution
im not sure if it has integration with bbpress or not though.
and this requires an account to their website.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/loginradius-for-wordpress has bad support and i couldnt get the plugin to work well when i tried it.

you can also find some paid social login plugins in codecanyon , im for sure there is one that offers social login and has compatibility with bbpress. I think it cost like 28 dollars or something close to that.

for registration add a captcha plugin either of these examples should be fine.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-math-captcha/

to help fight spam some security plugins help , some offer some kind of firewall rules to block bots, and also a honey pot for a sites registration form.

Top 10 Security Plugins For WordPress 2014

-recommended plugins (do research and choose ones that you want)
akismet(you should already have this)

wordfence security
bruteprotect

any plugin that provides captcha.

you can use this plugin

Hi,

i found an error in your css file. I read this media query:

@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px), screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
}

This rules does’nt work because it is semantically incorrect.
Normally the plugin works fine but if you try to minify your css file (I tested it with w3 total cache), the minify file generates an error and doesn’t work correctly.

Please, can you fix this ?

Thanks

Andrea

P.s.: I found this error on bbpress and buddypress wordpress plugins.

HI guys

I have just installed bb press (2.54) on my wordpress site ( 4.0) with Edu theme by smooththemes

http://www.amsn.com.au

I was not able to see the forum menu on my dashboard. After some trouble shooting I have isolated to a plugin clash with sttoolkit by smoothemes. When I disable this plugin everything seems to work fine.

see this screenshot
https://monosnap.com/image/qRMOVXqJUq0klVP2o6K9ElX2xn1G8x#

Any ideas about how to fix this ?

cheers
Brent

if you have godaddy hosting see if this topic helps

[Robkk]

there are two reward type plugins that integrate with bbpress i know off the top of my head.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/mycred/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/achievements/

and maybe more.

But i mean if you really have something different and unique then make the plugin.

but hey if your just looking for plugins to develop for bbpress i wouldnt be mind if you fork this.

https://github.com/master5o1/bbPress-Post-Toolbar

this plugin just isnt structured well, it really slows down a site too, but has alot of good elements.

or combine some elements of this editor to give a responsive bbcode editor, i wouldnt mind at all.

Good day, I am running the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress and would appreciate some assistance with getting my forum’s sub pages full width. I am using Elegant Themes’s Divi theme.

So I can choose to have the main Forum page full with by checking that in the page settins – http://secularsociety.co.za/forum/ but as soon as you go to one of the forum’s sub pages it resizes it back to a page that has a sidebar – http://secularsociety.co.za/forum/topic/ask-an-atheist/. I’ve read and tried a bunch of things without any luck. I am also not a css master, but I am willing to try anything.

Thank you for your time.

I just replied to the BuddyPress topic you posted…

Maybe try a ‘different’ disable email plugin is an option, I haven’t tried this but this one was recently updated and states it’s compatible with WordPress 4.0 https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-emails/

[HoggeHog]

Hi,

bbPress V2.5.4
WordPress V4.0
http://www.angestforum.se

I’ve just created translations for bbPress and BuddyPress using PoEdit. The BuddyPress translation works fine. But the bbPress translation doesn’t change these words:

1. Number of topics, number of posts (in forums overview)
2. “Post Topic”-button
3. “Voices”, “Posts” for topics

Other things, like “Topic Title” and “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” etc. are however translated.

What is overriding my translation for these things? Any help is much appreciated. The language in wp-config is set to sv_SE (swedish).The translations are titled bbpress-sv_SE.po and .mo.
