bbPress Version 2.5.4
bbPress WP Tweaks Version 1.3.1
wordpress Version 3.9.1
bbPress permalinks by default is:
- /forums/topic/TOPIC_SLUG/
- /forums/forum/FORUM_SLUG/
How to replace topic- and forum- slugs to their ID’s?
- /forums/topic/TOPIC_ID/
- /forums/forum/FORUM_ID/
I need this because I have cyrillic letters in topic names (and slugs).
Current link:
http://ru.forums.wordpress.org/topic/Пустая-страница-1?replies=3
After copy and send on Twitter, Facebook..:
http://ru.forums.wordpress.org/topic/
I try fix it and write rewrite rule (and flush, yep).
add_rewrite_rule('^/forum/topic/(\d+)/?$','index.php?topic_id=$matches[1]','top');
But after visiting /forum/topic/814 (814 topic id is exists) redirect to home page happening.
Hello,
I do like to know how I am able to display the total amount of replies and topics a member created on my WordPress website. There is a (text) sidebar present where the statistics are displayed of a certain user. Is it possible to display the amount of forum topics and replies a certain user has created?
Thanks
1./ Lack of Support – check out this topic, not one reply as I waited for several days. In the end I had to do it myself on hope and lucky for me I puled it off. I hope this improves.
i saw this and had no idea what you were talking about, and i didnt have a correct answer, and since you solved it you could share so that people in the future that came across the same problem can find your topic and help themeselves in the future.
2./ Lack of dedicated Styles and themes.
phpbb inpsired forum theme by lynq
https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs
envatos support forum theme-is actually a wordpress theme in whole on github, idk if copying templates will work because this relies on 5 other plugins also
https://github.com/syamilmj/Supportte
I might make a better mobile responsive forum theme in the future and post it on github
here is how my theme kind of looks like , the bbpress theme i will post on github will be loosely based on this
My Forum Layout (in progress)
It was impossible to find anything like a normal forum from Invision, Vbulletin or PhpBB.
what would you like specifically like other forums??
I was excited to find a wordpress forum that had good reviews and seemed the best solution after comparing a few.
I’m happy I was able to import my old PhpBB forum without much problems due to what I believe is an improved importer.
but I’m disappointed with 2 things:
1./ Lack of Support – check out this topic, not one reply as I waited for several days. In the end I had to do it myself on hope and lucky for me I puled it off. I hope this improves.
2./ Lack of dedicated Styles and themes. It was impossible to find anything like a normal forum from Invision, Vbulletin or PhpBB. There is nothing available that can make your forum look like those types of forums. There is one very basic template thing that does not do much but that is it from my many hours of research. Even the Themes section has nothing at all basically. I was expecting to find many dedicated BBPress themes. The good thing is most new themes will work with BBPress but they all look the same, simple with no organization etc.
Despite all this I am excited to have moved my PhpBB forum to wordpress and I can now make use of plugins etc.
I hope in the future BBPress improves these 2 issues.
From my experience this worked best
But requires an account from a website
only works for 2000 users only , to have more than that you would have to pay for a premium version of the service
https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/
This didnt really work for me , and is also a free/premium service
requires an account to their website also , and is limited on users that can use the social login feature.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/loginradius-for-wordpress/
I tried this plugin before it was called super socializer
and it didnt work at all on my site
https://wordpress.org/plugins/super-socializer/
I havent really gotten into trying all the social login plugins on codecanyon.
other than my opinion , do a google search try to find other peoples opinions on the best social login plugin , and make a very decisive decision on your plugin choice.
TzMarko, I already figured out how to limit access to forums for specific bbPress roles. However, I would like to know if it is possible to restrict access to some other WordPress Pages for logged in users with specific bbPress roles.
Robin W, thanks for your reply. I might end up with using ‘Restricted Content’ plugin if I don’t find any other solutions based on bbPress user roles.
Anyone know if there is a fix for this Yootheme issue?
Still getting the same problem now with new templates and Yootheme pretty much dont reply to wordpress issues as far as I can see.
Hi, I have a forum to convert to BBPress. it does not have any mods that are important. Is is quite old and had a lot of topics, about 8,000 members mostly inactive.
The reason I want to convert is I think it will be better to have it on wordpress and have more flexibility, plugins etc.
I do already have a blog installed on the /blog directory and the phpbb forum is on the root directory. But the blog had all the users imported from the WP united plugin and I think this could cause issues so I plan to revert back to a default install.
This is how I plan to do it:
Backup everyone and research and follow procedures to import
Backup wordpress posts and pages, there is not many
Uninstall and Delete the blog and install again a fresh default blog in the /blog directory
Install BBPress in a /forum directory
Run the importer and import the forum.
Now this is where I’m a little lost…
I eventually want the forum to be back on the root directory, how will I do this?
Is there anything else I should know before hand?
Like @rastarr two years ago and @acornale last week, I’m looking for a way to perform a unified search of both my website and the bbpress forum. (Forum results show up in WordPress search, not just in separate forum search.)
In both cases, Search bbPress was a recommended solution. Unfortunately, the plugin hasn’t been updated since 2011, and Support threads indicate it does not work well with the latest version of bbPress. The forum on my site is also behind a paywall, and the search function in this plugin would circumvent the login page.
bbPress Search Widget was the other recommendation, and the author is still active in the Support threads. However, “unified search”, or anything similar, is not one of the features listed in the description.
Does anyone know if bbPress Search Widget includes a unified search of the site and the forum? (I’ve reached out to the author and am waiting on an answer, but it seems unlikely that a feature such as unified search wouldn’t be listed under bbPress Search Widget features.)
If not, are there any current alternatives for making a unified site search? Is bbPress likely to add this function as an option in the future?
Thanks for your time.
I’ve made 2 groups in UAM, one for partners and one to lock pages. Both aren’t bound to WordPress / bbPress Roles. If i create a page or a post i can choose one of this groups or not. If i choose one, only the members of the group can see the page / post (this works) and all subpages too (recursively).
The forum is open to all users so the forum page has no group selected. I can’t change anything else without knowing more about bbPress or UAM. And i know nothing about it =P
Could something in the topic template cause this problem or is it more a core problem?
Do you maybe know an other plugin to lock pages (with user groups) if we can’t find a solution for this one?
1) Permit forum users to reply to an email
only plugin i know is https://github.com/rmccue/bbPress-Reply-by-Email
which uses mandrill and postmark for sending emails
2) Send new forum applications (registrations) to the moderator to either approve or disapprove
that plugin user profiles made easy should work on bbpress.
3) Permit forum users to post pictures e.g. .jpgs
you can use the img button in the toolbar which will use a url of a picture then embed the picture in a post.
you can use oembed which is already in wordpress core, where all you have to do is add a link to an image in a post then it will automatically embed. (imgur, flickr, are some examples that can do this.
and yes bbpress attachments plugin
Thanks for the answer. I’ve tested all plugins and the theme like you told me to.
The problem comes form the UAM – User Access Manager (http://www.gm-alex.de/projects/wordpress/plugins/user-access-manager/). I need this plugin to protect some parts of the website (not the forum). Any idea how to solve this?
Hi all,
We are working on a forum in BB Press but wish to have the following:
1) Permit forum users to reply to an email (e.g. to their yahoo or gmail account) to respond to a post rather than logging in and posting on site.
2) Send new forum applications (registrations) to the moderator to either approve or disapprove
3) Permit forum users to post pictures e.g. .jpgs
We have been told that 3) is possible via a plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
Can you assist?
Regards,
Simon
P.S.
Software is out there that can do 2) but not BB press
E.g. http://codecanyon.net/item/user-profiles-made-easy-wordpress-plugin/4109874
See User Profile Approvals allows admin to manually approve users before they login (New Feature)
Update
Well and there also the same problem with my customers. Short overview:
Wordpress Role | bbPress Role | Works?
Super Admin | Keymaser | Yes
Subscriber | Participant | Yes
Customer (WooCommerce) | Participant | No
Unregistered | Unregistered | No
Nothing bad 🙂
It can take me up to 1/2 hour to investigate a problem before I even start to reply. Since your are fixed here, you wouldn’t want Justin wasting time trying to find a solution to a problem that has been fixed elsewhere, so was suggesting that you closed the tickets you created at
https://wordpress.org/support/theme/stargazer
suggest you try
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
which should let you set them up the way you want
i use wordpress a plugin bbpress
i dont know that make difference
how to remove the author box on left page post completely?
please help
@ttmt place this code into loop-topics.php above the <li class="bbp-header">
<a class="bbp-most-popular-button" href="http://sitename.com/forums/view/popular/">Most Popular</a>
@robin-w I think the second one would require PHP and i hate PHP , but i can tell you the second one is going to use scraps of this
<a href="<?php bbp_user_replies_created_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Replies Created", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Replies Created', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>
and some of this , basically the wp-get-current-user and output a link
Layout and functionality – Examples you can use
anyone please help how can i put name email title put into one table when user post topic or reply?
another question is how to change these name email title font bold and larger and the table boarder color too?
thank you i use wordpress with bbpress plugin
No, I am not using this plugin. I just implemented the bbpress forum and have not made a full switch to it.
oh my bad , easy confusion when you said you replaced wordpress to a forum, i guess you ment user engagement.
When you said, that this functionality will be implemented in the future, you meant bbpress topics for posts?
yes , but the feature you suggest could be good for topics for posts, and going to Dashboard>replies
Now, on the other hand, I have to click the forum, the subforum, the topic, and scroll down to the end, to be able to reply.
Robin said go to Dashboard>replies , so you can see every reply and just click view to go straight to the reply, and make time a little faster , but yes a reply button would be great
Because I would like to see a reply button on the Dashboard–>Replies section
I would too , this is actually not a bad feature implemented in the core since it would be great for workflow for moderators in my opinion
so suggest a feature in the trac
@netweb should look at it
Hmm… not sure what’s going on here. Have you tested it on a default theme?
My avatars were not doing that the last I checked. I’m pretty sure they were auto-resizing smaller, and fitting in quite nice. But, I stopped using this bbPress theme before the last couple WordPress updates because it’s not responsive, and the default bbPress is. It’s possible something changed in the WordPress code to make it act different.
If you can make a child theme, you could try this to change the avatars’ size on the page where they’re squished with css:
bbp-topic-meta .avatar {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
}
