Private groups

is an add-on to bbpress and will let you split your forums into as many groups as you like.

membership plugins tend to assign roles to members if you want different membership types, and then private groups plugin can then assign these to the forum groups

Hi,

First time posting; first time looking at bbPress.

I use SMF on a forum I manage, so that’s the only platform I can compare.

In my SMF I put new users (in our private forums) into two different membergroups based on their registration (i’d like to to more to be honest).

We’re getting bigger, and I’d like to use something like Ultimate Member for registration.
If I use Ultimate Member to make a lengthy registration form (it’s for a non-profit that needs to collect a lot of data on each) can I use THAT to funnel folks into the proper member group–avoiding manual massaging?

thanks for taking a look.

That option doesn’t affect search process. You should trace how the search is done and if it affects bbPress.

[Adeel Mughal]

if it’s wp search then why do they have setting bbpress forum-wide search in bbpress settings?

should I need to look at wp search core code or queries?

[Milan Petrovic]

bbPress search has no options, it is the same as WP search, so if you havw code modifying WP search it will affect bbPress search also.

[Adeel Mughal]

Thanks for replying.

Title and content, and topic replies are not considered as content? that’s why not search from topic replies?

Do I have to do that customization on bbpress search side? because right now I am using default bbpress search.

Can you tell me where should I have to add code or can you refer me to any site where I can check and modify code

[Adeel Mughal]

We have an issue in bbpress search when we search any keyword using bbpress default search form, search results display only by matching keywords that exist in topic titles.

We need results from topic replies too.

We are using the following versions
WP: Version 5.8.2
bbpress: Version 2.6.9
Server: nginx

[ocglimited]

I have a need to duplicate some existing forums, including all posts & replies in those forums. Is there a BBpress compatible plugin which can do this for me?

[neon67]

Thanks for your help, take the time – I really appreciate it! But … again nothing happens.

Have a clean new bbpress, latest version of WordPress, own Ngnix, cleared the cache, checked for syntax errors.
Little confused https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23614011/if-strpos-serverrequest-uri-true-doesnt-work/23614083 and whether the equation is correct. I can’t figure it out myself.

Fully updated bbpress (removed homemade files) add advice change fils to child theme, – but nothing has changed again, user’ replies can be seen everyone.

Hi ,

I am exporting forums/replies/topics from one site https://tileisrael.com/ to another site on local. In admin everything is showing fine. but when i am going to view forums in frontend , topics and replies are not showing check screenshot https://prnt.sc/2559ijh . On current site all topics are showing fine https://prnt.sc/2559onm .

BBpress version – 2.6.9
Wordpress version – 5.8.2
Export site – https://tileisrael.com/

My main motive is to migrate all BBpress date to another wordpress site. Please share any solution how i can import data and show on frontend as well.

Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks

ok, so using this process for each of the following files in place of xxfilexx.php below

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/xxfilexx.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

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/xxfilexx.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

so template 1.

\templates\default\bbpress\user-profile.php

to remove lines 42 & 43 to tale out the counts if you wish.

then template 2

templates\default\bbpress\user-details.php

take out lines 34-60

then templates

\templates\default\bbpress\user-topics-created.php
\templates\default\bbpress\user-replies-created.php

take out all the code between the 2 ‘do_action’ lines

That should get you there

Hello people!
I bury the lists generation of all user replies profile via css and robots.txt. But it turns out – Google still looks. I would like to disallow broadcast domain.de/users/name/replies/.

There is old bbPress Toolkit plugin for that…
And how take same editing the bbpress file? Or functions.php filter? Tell me who knows. What file and what to remove, then would be moved to the child theme.

Thanks!

Hello there,
I really like the way bbpress works here, and i was wondering if it’s possible to know how to add these features.

View post on imgur.com

Also I clicked the submit button twice on a reply on the other topic, and the software detected and prevented the duplicate posting. I tried the same with my own installation, but it just posted the duplicate post.

Is it possible to get the same features as here?

Thanks.

It is the entire error showing on the page only. In debug.log file there isn’t this error.
It occurs only on bbpress page, only if i authorized as a “Participant” bbpress role account. On another roles such as moderator or admin or viewer there is no error on bbpress page.

[Robin W]

ok, so you say you get an error

Error thrown
Call to a member function get_users_for_object() on null

is this the entire error, or is there more?
when does this occur eg on every website page, on bbpress pages, on particular pages ?

Hi @robin-w i’m back with some good news:)
I’ve found the reason of my problem. There is conflict between two plugins which one is bbPress and another one is Redux.
The theme that i’m using requires Redux and i cannot to turn it off. I’m bad at it so if you know what to do next, text me please.

[kezeo]

here you are what they said :
“you can add custom fields for any registered post type with Meta Box, but you need to contact bbPress support to ask for outputting the field value on their end.”

[kezeo]

Hello,

I am running WordPress 5.8.2 with an Eduma Child theme. I have LearnPress and bbPress (v2.6.6) installed and I have an issue with forums.
Course A is attached to Forum A and this has been working well for over a year. I recently created Course B which is a duplicate of Course A. Course B is attached to Forum A.

Users who are signed up for Course B gets the message ‘ You are not enrolled in the course’ when they try to access their forum which is Forum A.

Please can you help????

Thanks

It is so long ago since I used it. I am not sure which theme you are using – it really depends on that. I was using the old Responsive theme and @robkk advised me to use a different code for the bbpress.php file. I am coying what I found in my files for you here, but I really don’t know if this is the correct one. Unfortunately, @robkk is not active any more – he was truly wonderful.

When I set up bbpress first locally on my computer, I managed to get all pages for bbpress full width with no sidebars. I simply went to Theme options and set all pages and posts to default full page width tempates.
Now I am setting up bbpress on a live site. bbpress forum pages display correctly in full width, but to my unpleasant surprise the user profile page displays with a sidebar. I simply can’t get rid of the sidebar and make the page full width. This is very disappointing for me – can someone help,
thank you
