I presume they used to be ok? or have they never worked?
Since they are images, almost anything in wordpress could have affected.
have you added any plugins, or updated/changed themes?
We actually pull the list of plugins using the WordPress plugin API, the good thing is that the plugin API is getting some updates this week so we should be able to include some of those enhancements into our plugin list https://bbpress.org/plugins
I’m looking for advice on how to display day of the week at “reply-post-date”.
In topic pages, “at” is used in the display of posting date. like…
2014/05/28 at(←here!) 00:21
I want to replace the display from “at” to “(Sun)”.
In other words, I want to display a day of the week of posting time.
I tried many times by using PHP function “preg_replace”.
However, it was too difficult for me. Code that I made is as bellow.
function change_reply_post_date($output) {
$output = preg_replace( '/at/' , "<?php echo get_post_time('D'); ?>" , $output );
return $output;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_post_date' , 'change_reply_post_date');
In this case, it did not result in an error.
However, “at” disappeared.
What should I do?
Would you please advice me?
WordPress: ver3.9.1
bbPress: ver2.5.3
yes that’s the way it is supposed to work – try the plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
I will if I find an acceptable solution. It would be better if one of the developers could drop by and share their wisdom though.
There is also a small chance that BuddyPress Trac ticket #5619 will materialize and effectively solve my problem before I do.
Anyway, thanks for the help!
ok, then install the plugin
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups
then each course would have a group, and you would add users to that forum group.
Right, I guess I’m moving on to the Stack Exchange. Worst case, I’ll have to figure out how PHP forms are done in general, figure out some MySQL in relation to WordPress and sprinkle with security precautions.
Do you have a donation link? I don’t think anybody else is going to drop by and help me out before I figure it out elsewhere 🙂
‘course are posts for “courses” custom post type.’
That is the part that confuses me.
Bbpress uses three custom post types – forum, topic and reply – none of which would concern you.
If you just want forums for each course, that is out of the box, but a course participant would be able to see other course’s forums – is this an issue?
Otherwise if you want separate private group forums then try adding the following plugin on top of bbpress.
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups
Since I have never used courseware I can’t say how well bbpress would integrate with it
I think you best option is to install bbpress and see how it works for you.
looks good Stephen, will be interesting to see how that develops !
for plugins, a list of wordpress plugins by what they do rather than what they’re called would be useful, which I’d be happy to work on. At the moment you have to want something and then articulate this in a search. Most newcomers don’t realise what they can do with a few plugins, and a simple list would be great to stimulate the mind.
Our Club didn’t want forums in BBPress so I needed to uninstall it.
After the uninstall I was left with BBPress Roles such as Keymaster etc.
Additionally, all Admin accounts aand other WordPress accounts other than mine now get a page “you are not authorised to access this page” when they log in. They can go back to the main page while logged in and can then access the Dashboard.
I’ve worked around this b copying the user privileges from my account to other admin accounts.
How can I “fix” this?
Hi all,
I am creating a course related membership site. I am using course ware plugin for course management. I also need forum for my registered members for course related discussion.
I google for best forum plugin for wordpress and found this bbpress plugin.
But I am confused, I am not sure whether it will work with my course post type or not because its custom post type.
What I actually want to do is: Suppose, I created 1 course say “bbpress installation” in course ware custom post type and I want to add 1 separate discussion board for this course. Is this possible with bbpress plugin ?
Let me know its really very urgent for me because my project is overdue. I really very appreciate quick and useful reply 🙂
Thank you in advance.

‘I’m sure it’s just a matter of understanding how WordPress or specifically BuddyPress implement PHP forms and the rest should be a cakewalk.’
Absolutely. Most answers are simple once you’ve found them!
I don’t quite know what to suggest next !
Yes it’s the same issue. I didn’t understand the reference you made to the plug-in author, sorry. Not being conversant with the conventions I assumed you were still talking about the bbpress author. I’m sure I could have been more switched on but perhaps replies to in this forum could make less of an assumption about the degree of tech literacy us ordinary users have?
I’m now completely at a loss as to what the link:-
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2593
… should convey to me?
Hi there! I am using bbpress v 2.5.3 and wordpress v 3.9.1.
I would like to use an email for notifications from the forum, that is different then the one I’ve setup in wordpress settings. Is this possible? Its just different people in our organization will deal with the forum, and others with support on the contact page.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!!!

The WordPress WXR Export/Import does include all the post meta, it includes everything that bbPress needs except for some idiosyncrasies for users such as bbPress roles and passwords as I outlined in the ticket.
Thank you! That was an unbelievably frustrating experience and I wasn’t expecting it so I sort of freaked out 😉 in the end I think the problem is how much the forum relies on the post meta take in the database. Exporting through WordPress does not copy these values so while my data was there nothing was linking up. I ended up manually copying the database rows and changing the ID numbers where needed. Hopefully a better export/import system will make it easier the next time I need to do this. Thanks for your consideration!
Per my reply here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/migrating-from-one-bbpress-installation-to-another/#post-147085
I have just created a ticket on Trac to add a bbPress 2.x to bbPress 2.x importer.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2605
I have no idea why I had never thought of, or had mentioned or requested previously to include this. It should be pretty quick and easy to do also.

I created a second wordpress site on my multi-site install of WordPress. All I want to do is copy everything, exactly as it is, from one site to the next. I’ve tried about 5 times now to do this and everytime something goes horribly wrong. I tried importing everything and then using the forum tools to reset the count thinking that would work, but all it did was remove every post from being assigned.
Depending on how I’ve tried to import them, sometimes forums are not linked to the appropriate category, but every time only a small percentage of topics & replies are appropriately linked. Why does this happen?! Why is it so difficult tomove bbPress from one site to another? Does anyone have a way that would work better than using the WordPress Import/Export feature?
I just installed bbpress, and for some reason, my submit and reply buttons do not work. I activate the two thousand twelve theme, and they work… but not with the theme my entire site is based around, which right now is REPlay (http://themeforest.net/item/replay-responsive-music-wordpress-theme/3172436?WT.ac=portfolio_item&WT.z_author=themex)
The button is there… it just doesn’t do anything when you click it. Anyone here know what I can do to troubleshoot this?
Thank you very much!
Gotcha, glad we’re on the same page now. 🙂
What happens when I rename the form-user-edit.php to settings.php and drop it in the right directory is that I get the right markup, but the forms don’t work when submitted. They also don’t display any pre-submitted values like they would if they did work.
In fact, they don’t work anywhere except at their original location at example.com/forums/profile/%username%/edit so it doesn’t really matter whether I’m trying to make them work in BuddyPress or any other page.
I’m sure it’s just a matter of understanding how WordPress or specifically BuddyPress implement PHP forms and the rest should be a cakewalk.
Just wanted to confirm that this worked for me, I had found an older solution that also was meant to be applied to the theme’s functions.php file that, in-turn, broke some things in buddyPress – namely, was presenting the profile name as an HTML-a-href link presented as text – using this code, which is presented as an example in the WordPress Codex worked without any further breakings (that I am currently aware of). Thank you, Stephen
