bbpress contains: Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies

I think there should to 2 seperate options,
1. Allow guest to create topics
2. allow guest to create replies.

Also I think this is a must option,

When posting as anonymous this option disapears, even thought its the most important one.

Hey BBPress!

I was wandering if ya’ll can help me out with this. So I have my theme styled so that each Forum gets its own background through the style.css file using the following lines:

.postid-17 {
background: #000000 url(http://alysiaworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/alysiasea.jpg) center top no-repeat fixed;
}

where postid-17 is the correlating WordPress post associated with the Forum.

The problem now is that when you visit a Topic within the Forum, the background goes back to the default image :/

I am thinking that there should be a code to pull the topics Parent Forum “postid” and then force the background to the topic.

I hope that makes sense. I can dig through code, but I am not so skilled with writing my own yet.

Thanks in advance for your help.

WordPress and BBPress are running the latest versions:

Site – htp://alysiaworld.com
Theme – Twentytwelve

@johnjamesjacoby I believe this link is the source of the problem… I think if this page is updated to be made current, it will solve a lot of confusion.

Update:

I’ve figured it out.

Part of it was my theme using the post_type_archive_title()

Part was needing to set a filter:

function test_support() {
  return 'Support';
}
add_filter('bbp_get_forum_archive_title', 'test_support');

And part of it is needing to modify the default bbpress theme by placing it in my own theme directory, and modifying the hard-coded instances of Forums and Topics.

A future enhancement / feature would be some sort of an options file to allow this text to be modified in one place somewhere…

I’m using bbPress 2.3.2 , WP 3.5.1 and a uDesign theme.

Here’s a link to my site: http://www.techwellbusiness.com/support/

I’m trying to change all label instances of ‘Forum’ to ‘Support’ ( like in the breadcrumbs, archive title, etc)

And all instances of ‘Topic’ to ‘Question’

I think if I can get one filter to work, and I can find the others and get them to work…

But I’m not finding the right filters and/or I’m not using them right…

Any thoughts, tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Hello,

I didn’t knew where to post my question so in the end I decided to post it here.
Nor did I find any information about my question (whereas I’m quite sure there should be some).

I want to make forum grid like bbPress or BuddyPress.
I mean, when I come to /forum I see left sidebar forums and right content last activity.
Goind inside topics left sidebar shows topic specific information and etc.

Of course I can write it myself, but when I see two forums with idetical structure, I wonder if there is a some simple solution for this.

Thanks in advance

[Hoek]

it works fine now 🙂 thx

Im kinda new to all this

[Pornatu]

Whilst I want to integrate BBpress to WordPress, I don’t want to run BBpress on the same WordPress database, having said that I still want to allow my registered users to connect to it. Can this be achievable?

I can imagine my database filling up pretty quickly with hundreds of thousands of messages, so is there anyway to split them? but still have the users from the main wp site connect to the bbpress database.

Perhaps some sort of “Sync” feature, those members who want to access the forums, will trigger a function that syncs the account with bbpress or something, or make bbpress fetch the auth details from main wp site.

Anyone with me? just like wordpress and bbpress.org seems that accounts are in sync

[HeidiHauck]

I would like topics to only show in the forum they are posted in. However, they are currently showing in ALL forums.

I’m running bbPress 2.3.2 with WordPress 3.5.1 with the Headway Base theme.

I’ve tried deactivating all other plugins, but that didn’t make any difference.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi

I want to change the Output of the “Recent post” to make it similar as simple-press. Like this:
Forum: Forum Title
Topic: Topic Title
by: Author – Time

I found the code for widgets at:
bbpress/common/widgets.php

But I am afraid that if I changed this, it would be overwritten by the next bbpress update. Any ideas if I can I have a “child widget” or something?

Thanks

Hi,

I installed the bbpress plugin for WordPress. I have a static front page (“Home”), and my posts display on another page (“Blog”). I added a menu option to myblog.com/forum, where the forum is displayed. Everything works fine, except that when I am anywhere on the forum, the “Blog” button is highlighted, and not the “Forum” button. On the root forums page, both buttons are highlighted.

If I remove the “Blog” page from the Posts page option (Settings | Reading), the “Blog” button is never highlighted. The Forum button is highlighted when I am on the root Forums page, but nowehere else in the Forums. (So it looks to me that something gets confused with my Forum and Blog).

I also tried linking an actual forum (not the root page as a link). This results in the same behaviour, except now relative to the specific forum page, not the root. (For example, if I am on the specific forum page, the button is highlighted, but not when I am in a topic. If I set my page of posts to “Blog”, the “Blog” buttons is highlighted when I am anywhere on the Forum).

I have a feeling I may be missing something really simple. I searched on this forum, and it seems others do not have such issues. I’d appreciate any help; thanks!

Hi again,

Is there any solution on this? I think this is a bug of bbpress as this issue doesn’t occur in buddypress or wordpress.

[xmasons]

Add this into your functions.php

function disable_our_feeds() {
	wp_redirect(get_option('siteurl'));
}
 
add_action('bbp_feed', 'disable_our_feeds', 1); // Disables BBPress feeds
add_action('do_feed', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rdf', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rss', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_rss2', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);
add_action('do_feed_atom', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);

I have now deleted the pages that were to be integrated with the forum pages and attempted to start over. Now when I create a page to match the forum it places a -2 on the end of the name:
Example: mysite/classifieds and mysite/classified-2.
I do not have pages in the trash and I do not have any revisions either. I can not change the -2 slug to correct the inconsistency; it just replaces the -2.

Is anyone home here?

[rsbenedict]

Thanks! I”m going to have to go a different route altogether.

[Robin W]

sorry to hear that.

Cannot suggest anything else – hope someone else will come along and help !

[rsbenedict]

That’s a whole other install of another forum and that will screw up that forum. It’s not easy to change it. It’s totally installed under that subdomain and changing it would require 1000s of mysql changes. Not worth the trouble.

[Robin W]

Can only suggest you try it in the base ie change your current forum page, and try it witgh forums as the web address.

[Justinvarnes]

First off, I’m an idiot when it comes to this stuff but I’m trying to learn.

I’m not sure where I went wrong, but iI have both Simple: Press and bb_press as plugins. I want to import my Simple:Press forum to the bbPress forum and delete Simple:Press. I tried following these instructions:

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

But when I tried to do the conversion, I didn’t know where to find the name of the database info, so I left it blank.

Tried the conversion anyway and it said there are no topics, forums, users, etc to convert.

Where can I find the name of the database, etc so I can fill that form out correctly OR..

Is that even what I should be doing?

Thanks in Advance!

[maoutdoors]

I am pursuing the noted issue as if it is a conflict between titles, slugs, etc; but I am just not able to find the solution.

[rsbenedict]

Yes, that’s correct. They have nothing to do with each other and I did set the base to iiforums.

Everything works fine for me, the administrator, but anyone else has issues.

I just got my WordPress site marginally working and I need forum software.

I am looking at Mingle, Simple, and bbPress.

bbPress seemed a good choice because it was supposedly easy to install and was done by the WP team and has nice features.

bbPress is anything but easy to install when it comes to themes. The instructions I found are almost universally out of date.

Are there no themes for bbPress ready to install and modify? I can’t find anything, and none of the intructions/guilds I have found so far help or work.

I am using Suffusion right now, and I just want bbPress to use its style.

[neurodancer]

I am having the same issues.

They say bbpress has simple and easy as its advantages, but I don’t see that. Nearly every other forum program is easier.

However bbpress has a lot of nice plugins and features so I’d like to use it.

So far I’ve made zero progress after some days making it look nice in my dark Suffussion theme.
