Hi Robin,

Sorry for slow reply, just picking this up again.

So, I see what you are saying but it is this page where I need to inject the content:-

I think what you are saying is, it will add a description into the individual forums.

So, I tried your suggestion and set up a custom page, with the shortcode in WordPress default editor as it wouldn’t work with Divi! Added the text above, does the trick.

Thanks for your help,

Hi

The wpforo creator says there is no tool for this :

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/migrating-from-wpforo-to-bbpress-3-3/

[Robin W]

This function should do that – change “mysite.com/login” to where you want it to go

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $text == 'You do not have permission to view this forum.' ) {
	$translated_text = 'This forum is visible only to this group members, please click <a href="mysite.com/login">here</a> and sign up for this group';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

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

Hello everyone,

I have been using simple membership + BB press to create forums only for members. Now when nonmembers click each topic, they would see the following message:

“PRIVATE, You do not have permission to view this forum.”

I would like to customize this message and say “This forum is visible only to this group members, please click here and sign up for this group” something like that. I reached out to Simple Membership and I was told to inquire BB press and/or use Loco Translate plugin.

Also, can anyone tell me how to make anonymous topics?

Any input will be greatly appreciated. I am self-taught and I have no coding background so a detailed explanation will be appreciated 🙂

Here are the details of my website:
WordPress 5.9.2 running Roseta theme.
BB press Version 2.6.9

Thank you!

the actual timing is always much later, but you can look at the tickets to see what is in the releases

For wordpress.com?

Hi there.

The BBPress Moderation plugin has been discontinued.
Is there another way that we can approve Topic replies made by other people?

This is SO IMPORTANT. Please.

Thank you.

Wordpress Version: 5.9.2

bbpress uses the WordPress moderation

dashboard>settings>discussion

but you also might like to look at

bbpress moderation tools

[DeepBlue]

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

[Robin W]

or use

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Forum Display item 6

this will add any text you put in

dashboard>settings>forums>all forums>edit forum and in then content section – so you can put the link in there

[Robin W]

if you create a wordpress page with the same slug as your forum – typically ‘forums’, and put the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

this should then look like the existing forum.

If so, then before the shortcode add a block in which you can put text or a link or whatever you want

I’m just looking for any ideas on how to debug this. I don’t see how it would be a bbPress problem, but on the BuddyPress forum they basically said “Ask bbPress and GeneratePress.” So I’m doing that.

WordPress 5.9.2, BuddyPress 10.1.0, bbPress 2.6.9
(I haven’t upgraded to BP 10.2.0 yet, but I don’t see any fixes that seems to apply to this.)
It happens “once in a while” since upgrading to BP 10.1.0. (Four times since March 9th.)
It *might* be related to email notifications (mentions?) in a bbPress closed topic.

I agree with you, but i tested bbpress with the top 20 wordpress themes, and confirmed that user profile and search pages were not detected by any theme

all other pages are detected except those 2

it’s like those 2 pages don’t belong to the same template than other bbpress pages in the core code

[Robin W]

that would tend to indicate an issue with bbpress and elementor working together, which I have already seen with their Hello theme.

bbpress works to WordPress standards, many theme builders exist because they see WordPress as a restriction and feel they can offer improvements, so stretch and alter what WordPress does, which can then can make plugins have issues.

Because it is open source, and there are no definitive rules, it is wrong to say that it is a bbpress problem, or indeed an elementor problem or a divi problem, each makes their own code to work, but you cannot guarantee interoperability of everything with everything.

[Robin W]

You can use almost any theme – some integrate better.

to style bbpress use

bbp style pack

[4sbc]

Sorry about the newbie questions.

I have a wordpress install and like the theme. I wanted to add BBPress/BuddyPress
To the wordpress site, Is it better to create a separate WordPress install for BBPress
with the a specific BBpress theme?

Or is it possible to add a special theme to ONLY style BBpress?

Thank you

Hello, I’m installing bbPress on wordpress 2022 theme and bbPress doesn’t seem to work. It shows empty pages. Is it not support on this theme?

[Robin W]

try

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>unread posts

[Robin W]

That is how it is supposed to be.

The dashboard is for administration, generally sites hide the dashboard from ordinary users either by using code or a plugin such as

Hide Admin Bar Based on User Roles

[mjrodrig3z]

Topics or replies not showing on participant profile/dashboard bar. It only shows dashboard and then profile. However, they are both showing for moderators.Please help!

Wordpress version 5.9.2

I had NOT set bbpress notify to override bbpress subscriptions, so not sure why it was still disabling those notifications.

I suspect that plugin assumes you want to override the subscriptions – but no idea.

However, the email seem to have been addressed to noreply@domain, with the user email Bcc’ed

Yes this is how bbpress now does this. The idea is that many mailservers chop lots of emails being sent at once, so this avoids that pitfall in theory. The fact that the noreply goes nowhere is not an issue as such, and you’ll find that many sites use this method.

You can use this to amend that, though old this plugin still works

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

and if you want to amend the sending email use

bbp style pack

and dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Subscription Emails

Finally you might want to try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ as a better version of the notify plugin

[Robin W]

works on my test site and these are native to wordpress

Using Smilies

If it’s not working for you, then try the usual fault finding.

If you want more, I’ve not used any, but

https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/emoticons/

try one that says it works with custom post types

[Valérie Galassi]

Hi there,
I’ve finally found out what was the problem. This is (I feel like saying “just”) an incompatibility with a plugin : https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/swap-google-font-display/
I will inform the plugin’s author.
Have a good day !

[Robin W]

ok, If you are certain that

1. the box is being ticked (by default it is left blank), and that
2. emails are working from within bbpress (ie if someone else subscribes to the topic they get an email)

then the standard fault finding applies…

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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back
