ok so the issue is your theme is not showing the sidebar on mobiles, not that bbpress is doing anything wrong.

I’d suggest you add login and logout to your menu

either

or

install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

[Robin W]

hmmm…

Titles are not put in that part as default – bbpress uses the theme/page to do that, so I would not expect to see an <h2> tag after the <div id="bbpress-forums" class="bbpress-wrapper">

do you have a theme or plugin that is altering bbpress display?

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

Hi, I installed bbPress and activated the plugin, but nothing happens when I do. There are no new menu items on my WordPress dashboard, there are no bbPress options in the “settings” area. However, if I go to mysite.com/forums, I can see that a page was created.

I have no way to customize the plugin because there is no access to any settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[Robin W]

a combination of

bbp style pack

and

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

transfer this to your pc and edit as required

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

will get you there, but if you want specific help, contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk/contact-me/ and reference this post

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

[Jing]

Hi, We need some help!

We have created am API to create a new topic or post a reply. And trigger a notification when the topic is created or the reply is successfully posted.

The topic is created successfully and the reply is posted without problem. However, the notification is not triggered.

It appears that our REST API has the correct endpoints which made it to post bbPress topics/replies.

But this happens (topic/reply creation) on “WordPress level” rather than bbPress level.

Does anyone have any insights or tips on how to trigger the notification at the bbPress level?

Thank you so much!

I’m working on my first WordPress site, which will primarily have several forums. Users can create topics and reply to topics others created. Among other things, there will be something like a “Ride Reports” forum where users can talk about rides they’ve been on and others can comment on them. I think (hope?) I’m close to ready to go.

So far, I’ve avoided incorporating blogs because, frankly, I don’t know what they would add. Can anyone tell me what a blog would be used for?

Hi there,

Is it possible to use the forum title rather than the forum id when using shortcode to display the forum? In my website I am using a plugin which has virtual pages and I would like the user to search for the title of the forum they want and then it to be displayed – by means of shortcode.

Just in case, I would like to add that duplicate naming of the fourms would not be an issue in my website (it is not possible for the user to create a fourm with the same name).

Also, is there a way in which I am able to query the forum index? If so, am I able to check if a forum with this name (used in the query) already exists? If it doesn’t I would like the user to be able to start it, is this also possible?

Thanks in advance!

[sbask]

When the task is run “Recalculate parent forum for each topic and reply” it times out and the wordpress implementation loses access to the database. Now our anonymous users see no replies in the forum.

Is there any way to run this reindexing without causing this hiccup?

Running 5.6.2 WordPress. Using Divi theme. Version 2.6.6 bbpress. While the Main forum page: https://crown50reunion.org/forum/ is using sidbar 2, the discussion page: https://crown50reunion.org/forums/forum/general-discussion/ adds the general sidebar. How can I change this?

hi

@robin-w

You seem to inspire me

install plug in Custom Post Type Permalinks instead of bbPress Permalinks with ID

and the problem i had was resolved.

Custom Post Type Permalinks

This plugin is constantly updated and nice

Thanks~!

[Robin W]

‘Oops! That embed can’t be found’ is not a bbpress error, it’s a wordpress one.

but looking at the link below, I’d suggest it is related to your permalinks, and maybe the fact that you are using ID’s and a plugin for that

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-document-revision-plugin-permalink-does-not-work-to-embed/

[purityboy83]

Hi

If add a link to “topic and reply”, the embed function does not work.

ref img
https://ibb.co/qxXG125

site.com is an example for screenshots.
I entered the actual URL

error error embed
Oops! That embed can’t be found

ref img
https://ibb.co/grXr9dV

It was a site that has been without problems for months.
I just discovered it by accident.

The same is happening at the internal test site.

I installed the “Health Check & Troubleshooting” plug-in from the test site
and activated the Troubleshooting mode.

and only 2 plugin activate
– bbPress
– bbPress Permalinks with ID

The problem still occurs.
It’s a well-used feature, site, but suddenly a problem arises and I’m confused.

Hi

I want the thumbnail to appear on the topic
Search results found a plugin similar to the function I’m hoping for

bbpress-topic-thumbnails
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-topic-thumbnails/

I want to add one more feature in this plugin.
With this plugin, thumbnails of all forum topics are displayed

I only want to use this feature for 1 specific forum
reason for write topic is because the plugin has not been updated for a long time.

So I ask for help here

code is

/*Hooks into the loop-topic.php output to print image*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'bee_insert_thumbnail' );
function bee_insert_thumbnail() {

        if((!bee_catch_image() == '')){
        echo('<a href="'); 
    echo(bbp_topic_permalink() . '"><img class="bbp-topic-thumbnail"  width="100%" style="max-width: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_w') . 'px; max-height: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_h'). 'px; vertical-align:middle;" src="' . bee_catch_image() . '"/>' .'</a>');
        }
}

/*Function that retrieves the first image associated with the topic*/
function bee_catch_image() {
  global $post, $posts;
  $first_img = '';
  ob_start();
  ob_end_clean();
  $output = preg_match_all('/<img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
  $first_img = $matches [1] [0];
  return $first_img;
}

Anyone can help?
Thanks

I am trying to create a custom role that can only reply to existing topics.

I followed this to create new role. At first, the role did appear in dropdown list in admin edit user screen, but after saving, it went back to “— No role for these forums —”.

I found this thread, so.. I created custom WordPress role in the same name. This made the bbPress role to be “saved” but it doesn’t seem to add capabilities. The user with this role can’t see forum or topics.

How can I get this custom bbPress user role to have custom capability?
