I was not able to attach an image describing the issue I am facing , hence asking for same. I have managed that finally and the image is attached in thereply.

The description of this plugin reads :
===
Adds an option to the Discussion meta box to use a bbPress topic instead of WordPress comments, and displays that topic beneath the post on your site.

You can let the plugin create a new topic for you in the forum of your choice, or specify an existing topic to attach to the post.
A topic can be attached to as many posts as you’d like, but only one topic can currently be attached to a post.
====
From above my understanding is that in Discussion Metabox of a post a bbPress topic should show up, or I should be able to create a new topic. But that is not happening, though I am getting a checkbox that I have already ticked in, as shown in image I have attached.

You say :
“Topics for posts works on when you publish a topic, so can you start there.”

But when publishing a topic I see no option to attach it to an existing post. Please see image under :

——
I hope I am able to clarify. I can appreciate you have limited time. If still too cumbersome or still not clear, let us forget about this. Thanks anyways.

forums can be done using

Private groups

and forum visibility tab

I think I got timed out, not sure if my reply was deleted.

I haven’t solved it yet, I did find two promising threads though but I couldn’t make sense of it.

• WordPress show next 3 x number adjacent custom posts from existing
• Show multiple next and previous posts

[Robin W]

ok, if you have no keymaster, then install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bug fixes

and you will be able to set a keymaster, who can then see forums

you can deactivate and delete the style pack plugin afterwards, or make use of its features

i have installed bbpress , i am an administrator , i assigned the role to user moderator (the highest show role) i can only see topic and replies tab only on my WordPress dashboard

i saw other support queries tried every thing but cant fix it

i set permanlinks also

cant assign keymaster as its not visible in option

https://www.theislamicquotes.com/ is the site

[athep]

I made the list

<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'topic', 'post_parent' => bbp_get_forum_id() ); $loop = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
 <a href="<?php echo get_the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php endwhile;?>

This gives me all the topics under the current topic’s forum (I’m on single-topic.php)

Is there a way I could limit the list to 5 links (that’s easy, post_per_page = 5) but on top of that only show the adjacent posts?

Topic 3 link
Topic 4 link
Topic 5 link <----- I'm here
Topic 6 link
Topic 7 link

In the above example, it’s showing me 2 previous adjacent posts and to next adjacent posts

What happens is if I set post_per_page to 5 then this happens

Topic 1 link
Topic 2 link
Topic 3 link 
Topic 4 link
Topic 5 link <----- I'm here

The current link is always last, I realized this is more of a wordpress question but I’d like to try my luck here since I already opened a thread

Hi,
My current WP configuration
– WordPress version: 5.4
– BBPress version : 2.6.6
– Website Link : https://kam-webagentur.fr

Problems encountered :
I installed WordPress but I am having a problem installing “bbpress” which I want to integrate with WordPress.

I arrive at the “Welcome to bbPress installer” installation interface
and this is the error message I get once I run the installation.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_check_invalid_utf8 () in /www/forum/bb-includes/functions.wp-core.php on line 60

What is the procedure to stop getting this error message ???
Thank you in advance…

I have disabled all the plugins on my site and this issue is still happening… BBpress embeds the link (to a wordpress site) The image of the landing page and intro text is displayed but the links are not clickable…

Amphibian and reptile info pages at WH

I cant upload a screenshot here but the above link shows the issue…

Any ideas?

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

this turns comments on in bbpress

add_filter ('bbp_force_comment_status' , 'rew_set_comments_on') ;

function rew_set_comments_on () {
	return true ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

FYI I use the free version of GD bbPress Tools that has a setting for the User Signature. This plugin is actively updated.

Got the above from this stackoverflow thread

My problem is exactly like that except for bbpress

GD bbPress Attachments

1) this is the default case – users can post topics without anyone needing to approve
2) I think this does it https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-monalisa/ according to https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/smiley-emoticons/

3) this is what you might want https://wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/

[purityboy83]

Someone may need it, so I’ll update it.

function hhj_bbp_random_topic() {
global $post;
$args = array('post_type' => 'topic','orderby' => 'rand','post_status'=>'publish','posts_per_page' => '10');
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br/>
<?php
endforeach;
wp_reset_postdata();
}
add_shortcode('hhj_bbp_random_topic', 'hhj_bbp_random_topic');

It’s my site’s current layout, I have the forum or topic (depending on which page I’m on) on top and hopefully if I get a solution, the wordpress comments under

[athep]

The plugin successfully activated once I moved to a live server, so that’s fine. But it’s not what I was looking for, am I missing something?

I’d like wordpress comments under forums or topics (single-forum.php or single-topic.php)

[Robin W]

bbp style pack has buttons for subscribe

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>buttons

you can crack the code in includes/functions around line 336 if you want to look at code

[zklennerf]

probably could be this… I have access as administrator to WordPress but I dont have key master access… Will check

[zklennerf]

On the wordpress desktop, in the sidebar, where the pages, entries, settings tabs are, the forum, topics and replies tabs should show … these 3 do not appear and the forum option does not appear in the wordpress settings tab so i can’t change bbpress settings

[Robin W]

ok, can you explain what you mean by

‘ the forum, discussion and answers tab does not appear on the wordpress desktop.’

Hi,

I am trying to export a large bbpress forum to another wordpress domain using the import and export tools in the wordpress, but it is not working due to large data and server is not responding after few minutes.

Is there any other way of exporting bbpress to another domain?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

My env:

WooCommerce version: 4.9.0
WordPress version: 5.6
PHP version: 7.4.14
MySQL version: 5.7.31

Plugin:
bbp style pack: 4.7.2
bbPress: 2.6.6
Easy WP SMTP: 1.4.4

The feature “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” does not work on my site.
I tested: go to Settings->bbp-style-pack->Subscriptions Emails -> 9. Send test email, click on ‘Send test email(s)’, but it still does not work.

Pls guide me on this.
