The widget works fine on the home.php. But when I load it on my category.php it shows recent posts from wordpress, not recent forum posts. Can someone help me and tell me why?

Hi people,

It’s possible because I have seen it, but how-to insert breadcrumbs before page title in bbPress (without using css)?

The title is handled by Worpdress, but if I add

php bbp_breadcrumb

before the title in a custom content-forum.php page, it doesn’t work.

Using a thirdy part plugin (like WordPress SEO by Yoast) will work, but in some pages I see Topics, not forums in the breadcrumbs (maybe due to the post_type), and it’s not really “clean”.

Who can help ne?

Thanks 🙂

FAQ – https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

The following shows the current progress of bbPress translation to French for the ‘dev’ & ‘2.2.x’ versions:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev
11% – 111 Translated – 879 Untranslated – 628 Waiting

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.2.x
% – 0 Translated – 952 Untranslated – 533 Waiting

So quite a few are done but needs an authorised ‘validator’ to approve the ‘waiting’ translations.

You can contact your local translation time via https://fr.wordpress.org/contact/ to find out who the bbPress validators are or if no luck request to become a validator yourself via https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

I am pretty sure this plugin has something with setting the forum hours.

It hasn’t been updated in a while but there is an unofficial update on GitHub

Hi all

I have installed BBPress version 1.2 to act as a standalone forum alongside my online shop http://folliclehealth.com/forum/ (we don’t have WordPress installed). I created it in a separate folder so it doesn’t interfere with the main website.

Everything has gone brilliantly but I have found that there is no Install plugin button in the admin area.

Is this normal and if so, how am I supposed to integrate plugins (eg anti-span, etc)?

Please advise.

hello all

I am enjoying working with wordpress/bbpress/s2member on a new website.

I would like to make the forum unavailable to users from 10pm-6am. This will depend on the users time zone.

Is this possible?

Thank you

[Gettinitdone]

hello all

I am enjoying working with wordpress/bbpress/s2member on a new website.

I would like to limit all users time, except for admin, to 1 hour per day.

Is this possible?

Thank you

[fuseful]

Did anyone help you out here?

Have to say bbPress support is absolutely useless – It’s a pity.

Perhaps someone could start an “unofficial” support forum where people actually do provide support other than:

– Ignore the issue
– Blame the issue on WordPress
– Blame the issue on WordPress theme

Hope someone can help with this simple request -How to insert a text (like adsense for example) above and below the forum page !!!

Well, this hack (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1478#comment:7) correct the 404 error :
`
function fix_bbp_404() {
global $wp_query;

if ( $wp_query->bbp_is_single_user ||
$wp_query->bbp_is_single_user_edit ||
$wp_query->bbp_is_view
) {
$wp_query->is_404 = false;
// Unset nocache_headers
foreach( wp_get_nocache_headers() as $name => $field_value ) {
@header( “{$name}: ” );
}
// Set status 200
status_header( 200 );
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘fix_bbp_404’ );
`

I tried the trunk version but didn’t get any result… Hack above fix the issue… even if it return wrong title.

[Balztrap]

Ok so after a while I thought this might actually be a plugin issue instead, after deactivating and re-activating them one by one, WordPress SEO turned out to be the culprit. All works fine now!

Hi,

I have a new installation of WP/Buddypress that I’ve installed and I have a question regarding Group Forums. For some reason I am not seeing the “Notify me of follow-up replies via e-mail” checkbox that should appear below the “tags” option as seen in these forums as well as here:

http://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/bp-forums-19.gif

Driving me nuts. Is there a way to turn this feature on? What am I missing?

[ryandoz]

I am having trouble with running bbPress 2.2.4 and BuddyPress 1.6.4 on the Custom Community 1.14 theme with WordPress 3.5.1 . I have disabled all other plugins and rebuilt permalinks to different structures, to no avail.
The site is http://www.surprisecommunity.com
When my registered users click “Submit” to enter a topic or a reply, an error page results. It seems that there is some conflict in the slug/permalink configuration. The new topic/reply will post but not before the user is shown a page like this:

Any ideas about what is going on??

[Unsal Korkmaz]

@sadr No.  Before i started to write this theme, i inspect all Bootstrap+ WordPress solutions that i can use. After i see there is no solution for me that i am happy with it, i decide to write my own theme. In Roots theme, i like their solution for Walker_Nav_Menu so i used this section. Basically only this file is from Roots theme: https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/firmasite/1.1.7/functions/nav.php

A funny note: I was using Infinity theme as my parent theme until 2 months ago. I was using it because their option panel was letting upload images with 1 click (custom plupload implement). When they removed it, i decide to change my parent theme

[Soukous]

I have just installed BBpress 2.2.4 into WordPress 3.5.1

I have a login widget on my sidebar.
In this widget there is a field for a URL that will take new (unregistered) users to a registration page.
What is this URL? If it is specific to my site, how do I create/define it?

[joonymobile]

Does Yootheme WordPress Integrate with bbpress??

If not, can someone let me know how to fix let the dates show?

Edit the file in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core

the file to edit is called capabilities.php

Incorrect; *never* edit any files in bbPress’s directory; you’ll lose those edits when software updates come in.

@anallabres – Research how WordPress’s actions/filters/plugins work. It’s a little dizzying at first, but a few lines of code can get you up and running.

[LChambers]

Please try this code instead:

add_filter ( ‘bbp_get_reply_post_date’, ‘act_fecha’, 10, 6);
add_filter ( ‘bbp_get_topic_post_date’, ‘act_fecha’, 10, 6);

function act_fecha( $result, $reply_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time ) {
$date = get_post_time( get_option( ‘date_format’ ), $gmt, $reply_id, $translate = true );
$result = sprintf( _x( ‘%1$s at %2$s’, ‘date at time’, ‘bbpress’ ), $date, $time );
$return $result;
}

The above code would now work.

you could try buddypress, it has more control over groups and such

with the plugins i listed, you should be able to create 1 level of private forums, just use hidden forums for clan members or site mods group, assign access to hidden forums via user role editor

have a look a this plugin too

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/groups/

you could also try a plugin called s2member which allows protection of individual forums via “URI Level Access Restrictions” this (free) plugin is intended for pay sites but you could make all levels $0 i guess

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/

http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic-tag/bbpress/

but in the end, proper per forum group permissions as in phpbb etc are something i would really like to see in bbpress

for reference, from the bbpress docs –

Visibility: decide whether your forum is public, private or hidden.
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

[Sam Rohn]

i have a bit of background w phpbb and have recently been working w bbpress, while permissions are not quite as advanced you get close with one of the plugins listed below

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-access-manager/

specifically, you can create a new role called something like “site mods” and give that role access to hidden or private groups and assign that role to your users as needed

[childofnewlight]

After having exhaustively searched for the last few nights for information on this topic, I have not been able to find an answer.

I’m currently using the most up-to-date versions of both WP and bbPress. My current website uses Joomla, rokbridge, and phpbb3.

However, I’m trying to setup a new site based on WordPress and bbPress seems like an awesome alternative to having to mess around with forum bridges for phpbb3.

I was well on my way to adopting bbPress as our new forum software. Successfully imported the phpbb forum. Just fixing things up after the import like setting categories and moving forums around into their proper place. Then I realized that private forums were now public.

‘No problem’, I though. I went to each forum settings to be amazingly disappointed that there was only three options: hidden, private, and open.

With our current phpbb setup I can create a group. Add people to it. Then go to the forum (or their group) and give them permission to see the group.

This is especially important as we are a Christian gaming clan. We have a private guild forum that allows members of our clan to discuss things privately amongst each other (like private vent login info). We also have an officer forum that lets us candidly discuss potential applicants.

I would like to allow officers access to certain forums. Guild members to certain other forums. As far as I can tell, bbpress excludes this very basic ability.

I tried using the Members plugin for WordPress that is suppose to have bbpress integration. It wouldn’t work properly. At times it wouldn’t allow a role to see certain forums and other times it didn’t matter what permissions were set, it’d see it anyway.

I’m going to look at support for the Members mod, but it seems kind of silly that this wouldn’t be an integral part of a modern forum software.

Unless I’m missing something, I’ll have to stick with messing around with phpbb for now.

FirmaSite 1.1.7 released:

Its an important release for BuddyPress that adds interaction buttons.

For people already started to use FirmaSite theme: dont forget to keep your eyes on Tip & Tricks! I am sending some pretty neat customizations that you can easily use

Hey there,

The answer might be a no brainer for others that have been using the plugin version of bbpress for a while, but just like you I just migrated from the standalone version and suddenly I felt completely lost as I was used to editing the php templates for everything. I probably missed this explanation as it’s been a while since I visit bbpress.org.

Here’s the deal. You need to use the shortcodes provided here: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

That’s the short answer. What I didn’t know was that you need to add these shortcodes on the page you create in WordPress for your forums. So, say you have your forums at yoursite.com/forums. You need to create a page in wordpress called “forums”, after you have done that, you can add the shortcodes on the page to customize bbpress to your liking (others can correct me if I’m wrong as I just recently figured this out).

So adding [bbp-forum-index], will display your entire forum index. Then you would need to add [bbp-topic-index] to display the most recent 15 topics across all your forums with pagination.

What I still have not been able to figure out is that when you add the login tag [bbp-login] on the homepage (not the sidebar), there’s no option for login out once you’re logged in. If you find the answer for this, let me know. Hope this helps.

[@mercime]

@unsalkorkmaz congratulations for passing the WP theme review process 🙂 Do follow up theme reviewers mailing list if the theme’s not live in WordPress Extend Themes after 7 days.

Cheers.

[fontadoni]

Those who (like me) have recently upgraded from the bbpress standalone version to the plugin version of bbpress, will be glad to know that Arne Branchold’s WordPress plugin “Google XML Sitemaps”, has the ability to include your bbpress forum posts into your xml sitemap. You can download the plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/

I’ve been using this plugin for years so I was glad to find this option. It took me a few days to figure this out, so I thought I would share this info in case there are others wondering about a way to include your posts into your wordpress sitemap.

Go to Settings -> XML-Sitemap. Under sitemap content -> Custom Post Types: select “Include custom post type Forums” and “Include custom post type Topics”. Then update options from the bottom and click on “rebuild the sitemap manually” from the top to update your sitemap. If you have a google webmaster tools account, you can now resubmit your sitemap to google.

[LChambers]

OK, file functions.php in your theme’s folder.

By the way, WordPress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.2.4

De nada… 😉
