Hi,

I have restricted access to wp-login.php using IP address filtering from htaccess file. Is there a way to have two separate login URLs (php login files) one for admins and a custom URLs for non-admins? If not, I have to remove the IP filtering from my htaccess file.
I noticed that the custom login URL I created for bbPress still uses the wp-login.php.

The reason I asked Robin W. that question is because if the bbPress Login Widget has more than the following three options

1. Title: Here you can set the title of the widget as it will be displayed in the sidebar.
2. Register URI: Link to your custom signup page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-register] shortcode.
3. Lost Password URI: Link to your lost-password page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-lost-pass] shortcode.

then I might be missing out on too much to use a different Login Widget instead, and therefore I should try harder to figure out how to use the bbPress Login Widget, even though I’ve been struggling to figure out how to use it for a very long time.

[jason4locations]

Thank you, Robin W.

I’m curious why (if anything that works for WordPress registration will work for bbPress forum registration) the bbPress Login Widget was made.

[sbask]

Is there a way to have a page of recent replies, rather than a widget on every wordpress page?

We have an active forum (askwoody.com) and the replies widget is causing performance issues. Is there a way to remove the widget and just have a page for folks to go to instead?

Or would this plug in behave better?

bbpress just uses wordpress registration and login, so anything that works for wordpress registration will be fine.

Hey all,

Using bbPress version: 2.6.5

I have an odd issue where the audio drops out within the block after I upload.

It works initially, then often about 5-10 minutes after upload the audio shows up as 0.00 seconds on site.

To fix it, I have to keep the WordPress page open and update the story.

From there it locks in and doesn’t drop out.

It’s very frustrating as it happens every single time.

Help much appreciated! Thanks

Hello,

Some mathematical objects written in mathjax/latex use backslash (\). For example, one use \sqrt{} for the square root function, \mathbb{} for the set of numbers. In bbpress forums, these objects work perfectly but when the forums are displayed in buddypress activities streams, the backslash disappears and therefore the mathematical symbols are not rendered and make the texts difficult to read. If the texts are typed directly in buddypress side, things are also alright. So, the problem seems to be in the transition from forum to the buddypress activities.

I tried some solutions but nothing work. For example, I tried this solution: remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_content’, ‘stripslashes_deep’ ); but it did not work.
So I am asking for help; how can I do to solve the problem?

Thank you in advance

Wordpress 5.7.2
bbpress 2.6.6

You will need to test the below, as I don’t use either plugin on any forum site.

PM PRO

for PMpro you have the following hooks :

Action and Filter Hooks

I am guessing that pmpro_membership_post_membership_expiry is the correct hook.

so the code you need is :

add_action( 'pmpro_membership_post_membership_expiry', 'rew_remove_subscriptions') ;

function rew_remove_subscriptions ($user_id=0) {
	$forums = bbp_get_user_subscribed_forum_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($forums as $forum=>$id) {
		bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id, 'post' ) ;
	}
	$topics = bbp_get_user_subscribed_topic_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($topics as $topic=>$id) {
	bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id , 'post' ) ;
	}
}

MEMBERPRESS

for Memberpress you have the following links

https://docs.memberpress.com/article/325-action-hooks-in-memberpress

I am guessing that ‘mepr-event-subscription-stopped`

is the correct one, but you might need to query with memberpress

so for memberpress you would have

add_action( 'mepr-event-subscription-stopped', 'rew_remove_subscriptions') ;

function rew_remove_subscriptions ($event) {
	$subscription = $event->get_data();
	$user_id = $subscription->user();
	$forums = bbp_get_user_subscribed_forum_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($forums as $forum=>$id) {
		bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id, 'post' ) ;
	}
	$topics = bbp_get_user_subscribed_topic_ids ($user_id) ;
	foreach ($topics as $topic=>$id) {
	bbp_remove_user_subscription ($user_id, $id , 'post' ) ;
	}
}

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

I have a paid membership WordPress (5.7.2) site using bbPress. I have it set for users to be able to subscribe to forums/topics. However, when their membership expires, they are still getting email notifications of their subscriptions. How can I prevent this?

Thanks!

[jason4locations]

Thank you, Robin W. I found a solution at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-the-search-form/.

[salar2]

Hi,
My website WordPress version is 5.5.5. bbpress version 2.6.6 BuddyPress 7.3.0.
Child theme is Twenty Twenty.
BBpress language is farsi. My problem is the time of topics and repies is 4:30 off incomparision to Tehran time (It actually shows UCT instead of Tehran’s time). 3 examples:

برادرم جنسیت بچه اش رو نمیگه

دکتر معینی پزشک زنان

واکسن کرونا

[jason4locations]

When I use the bbPress forum search form, it adds it to the search form that was already there, so now there are two. I’d prefer to only have one, the bbPress one. I thought removing the one that was already there would be a WordPress problem (not a bbPress problem) because, to remove it, I could use the Disable Search plugin or the code at

https://www.wpbeginner.com/awp-tutorials/how-to-disable-the-search-feature-in-wordpress/

with Code Snippets. But, neither of those two methods worked. I couldn’t find the form that was already there at the widgets page. I also couldn’t remove it by customizing a header. I know that this might seem like more of a WordPress or theme problem, but because bbPress has the option of adding its forum search form, I thought a lot of people who use bbPress might wind up with too many forms (and bring it up at this forum). But, I couldn’t find anyone who has the same problem as me, at this forum. My site is at dancing4locations.org. There, you can see the bbPress form that I want to keep below the login form, and the form that I want to remove (which is to the left of the login form).

Thank you.

The images are decayed in the wordpress media gallery so all wordpress plugins are fine.

Hi again 🙂

I’m using the Twenty Twenty theme with bbpress.

On any single topic, the ‘next’ link of the pagination jumps to the latest topic. The ‘previous’ link is missing. On the latest topic, the ‘next’ link links to itself.

On any forum, it does the same.

On posts, it works as expected.

This is a child theme, but I get the same results with the parent theme active, and with all plugins other than bbpress deactivated.

I’ve also asked this question over at twenty twenty theme but no replies. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagination-not-working-with-bbpress-topics-replies/#post-14510051
I guess this question may have more to do with the theme than with bbpress, but perhaps I’m wrong? Do other themes pagination work as expected with bbpress forums and topics? Perhaps I could swap out twenty twenty’s pagination for that of another theme?

Do you have any clues what’s gone wrong? I think pagination is really important for the site, and the twenty twenty themes style of pagination is very visually appealing, so I’d prefer to get it working rather than delete it!~

[Back to Front]

Hi sorry its been a while! Been busy with other projects.

@robin-w @webmasterfreya this is what I’ve done to reverse the reply order on certain topics. And now I’ve come back to it after a month, I can’t reproduce the issue of it breaking the pagination. It seems to work as expected, without adding another function to mess with the pagination.

Install

bbPress – Sort topic replies

Remove the parts that sort the forum’s topic order, as they are causing errors, and they aren’t desired for this purpose (sorting the reply order)

// Adds meta box to the side bar of the Forums edit pages
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'bbPress_meta_box_add' );
function bbPress_meta_box_add(){
	add_meta_box( 'bbPress_meta_box_sort_desc', 'Sort Replies', 'bbPress_forum_meta_box', 'forum', 'side', 'high' );
}

and

	// Save sort settings for forum
		if( $_POST['str-bbpress-sort-replies'] == "desc" ){
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_sort_desc', 'desc');
		}elseif( $_POST['str-bbpress-sort-replies'] == "asc" ){
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_sort_desc', 'asc');
		}else{
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_sort_desc', 'dft');
		}

and

	// Save show lead settings for the forum
		if( $_POST['str-bbpress-sort-replies-show-lead-topic-forum'] == "yes" ){
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_topic_sort_show_lead_topic_forum', 'yes');
		}elseif( $_POST['str-bbpress-sort-replies-show-lead-topic-forum'] == "no" ){
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_topic_sort_show_lead_topic_forum', 'no');
		}else{
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_topic_sort_show_lead_topic_forum', 'dft');
		}

I can send the whole file if thats more useful.

Sorry I hope i’m not missing something that we noticed before? Actually my site is using threaded replies. So unfortunately it’s not using pagination, its unfortunate it can’t have both. But I turned it off to test this and it it worked.

Regarding the buddypress activity stream…
Here is an example of a member page with buddypress activity stream.
https://houseonfire.backtofrontdesign.co/members/forum_2tbmmm/
I think it also works as expected showing forum replies in the reverse chronological order.

[jason4locations]

There was a critical error on my website, and now I can’t get to the log in screen. My site is at dancing4locations.org. I’m using version 5.5.5 of WordPress, and version 2.6.6 of bbPress.

[jason4locations]

I’m new at this, so this might not be a good question. Can I use

Dashboard: Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS

to make “No Topics” go away? If not, is there an “easy” way to do it, that just involves pasting code somewhere?

I was able to make my site look nice using < li >, except for the fact that “No Topics” showed up scattered all over the page. I used < li > in one category or forum, and it effected all the others, which was good. So, now I’m trying to make “No Topics” go away.

My site is at dancing4locations.org. If you go to my site now, it doesn’t look as good as it did before, when I was using parents (with < li >). I’m using version 5.5.5 of WordPress, and version 2.6.6 of bbPress.

I’m sorry that my last post was marked as spam. It think it had to do with the fact that I didn’t put spaces between <, li, and >, and I kept on trying to edit it.

Thank you.

[jason4locations]

I made a bunch of forums using parents. But, when I go to view it, I see nothing like the rows of categories and boards that I am used to seeing with forums. Instead, I just see the name of a forum in the middle of the page. My site is at dancing4locations.org. I’m using version 5.5.5 of WordPress, and version 2.6.6 of bbPress. Thank you.

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

item 6 describes what you want to know, but in essence just set the forums to ‘private’

If you need a more complicated setup, then use

Private groups

For users, if you are setting up manually, then you just need to create them in wordpress (bbpress just uses wordpress users and login), just make sure you’ve turned off auto registration in

dashboard>settings>general>membership is unticked

and that in

dashboard>settings>forums>Roles is ticked and users assigned the participant role

[Robin W]

ok, my initial suggestion would be to deactivate bbpress and see if that fixes.

After that I do the usual troubleshooting :

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

Hi Guys,

I invested some time and found the solution:

I entered at the wordpress menu design.additional css the following lines:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-breadcrumb p, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-tags p {
margin: 80px 0 10px 0;
}

That made ist. Problem solved.

All the best
Axel

In the tutorial that Robin W gave me a link to, in step 1 (“Step 1: Choose Your New WordPress Host”), does the new host have to be a paid host? Or, can it be a free host, that has part of the free host’s name in my address?

[Robin W]

if you want to migrate from one host to another, ad may want to do this more than once, then it would pay to learn how to migrate the site eg
