Hi guys,
First time experiencing BBPress and I like it!

It’s almost great for my new forum website but I miss one thing : search page.
When looking for a keyword , results are kinda broken
Check it out :

2) https://i.imgur.com/6oXZFE6.png

I think something is missing in bbp-search template somehow. I use elementor (and set a Search result template in it).

Do you guys have any clue to help me fix this?
Thanks a lot

I’d like to hide the whole “Account” section from a user’s BBpress Profile Edit interface (Username, Email, password, language fields).
Can anyone advise the best way to do this?

[mariaat]

I use the BuddyX-PRO theme on the live-site. I tested BBPress with the free BuddyX theme and all parts were translated.
I’ve contacted WBcom again, after they told me last week it was an issue of BBpress.
Thanks for your help.

GD bbPress tools (only for quotes), Image upload for bbpress pro, and bbp private groups, nowhere have I modified reply orders

[Robin W]

hmmm…are you using any other bbpress related plugins?

[elliesatt]

Currently the meta description for bbpress is limited to the text up to the first line break. This means that for a forum post like this (https://300hours.com/f/careers/t/representation-of-cfa-on-a-level-1-failed-candidates/), the meta description is just [Hi guys,], which isn’t great and generates a lot of duplicate meta descriptions.

I’m trying to correct this by using a PHP snippet to counter this, basing it from a snippet I found (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-include-a-meta-description-and-keywords-in-bbpress-without-a-plug-in/#post-80944), but I’m not having a lot of luck so far. Is there a filter that can tell the meta description to not stop at line breaks and apply this to only forum posts (i.e. not affect ‘regular’ WP posts)?

Thanks in advance for any help given!!!

Hi, I’m having a strange problem where the order of replies is mostly right, but in a majority of the threads there is a recent reply or two that appear in the middle of the thread. Particularly affected are question / answer type threads where there are only two posts, but the order is flipped. I ran the “recalculate position of each reply in each topic” tool, but it didn’t seem to help. I have about 50,000 posts in my forum, does this need to be run multiple times? I worry about doing so because of the overhead.
For additional background, this was a drupal 7 forum that was imported over to bbpress 2 weeks ago, but the affected replies are from both before and after the import.

Using the latest versions of both wordpress and bbpress.

It seems to be a real struggle to create a new custom role for bbpress 🙁
I’ve been trying out all the different solutions I’ve found online but nothing is working.
All I want to do is to be able to assign the role of Naturopath to some of my forum participants. They would have the same capabilities as the Participant role, just have Naturopath instead of Participant showing under their name in the Forum. The rest of the Participants can continue to show “Participant”.
Can anyone here maybe write the code for me as a paid job?
I have WP 5.8.1
bPress 2.6.6

Ok, i found, just using BBPress Style Plugin! 🙂

[Robin W]

“Warning: Undefined variable $reply_author_id in /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notification/bbpress-notification.php

The plugin causing this is bbpress-notification not bbpress, suggest you post on their support forum

Hi,

I can upload a picture without any problems as an admin of the site. But when the user wants to upload a picture this happens: After submitting they are sent to a page with the failure text saying:

“Warning: Undefined variable $reply_author_id in /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notification/bbpress-notification.php on line 377 Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notification/bbpress-notification.php:377) in /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1340 Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notification/bbpress-notification.php:377) in /customers/c/d/0/xxxxx/httpd.www/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1343”

If the user then goes one page back, and is on the forum page where the image should be (still not showing as uploaded) and refresh the page, then the picture is there. Just to underline. I have tried deactivating all other plugins, but it still happens and my web supporter cant solve it either. What to do?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[angelfire4xx]

I’m finding that Naturopath is showing as forum role on the user’s wordpress profile, but only for a short while. WordPress changes it back to Participant after it appears to have saved.
Participant is showing in the bbpress profile and under the username for their topics and comments in bbpress.

[aksoysanat]

Hello, thank you in advance for your help.

Using the options in the bbPress settings section, I can limit the number of topics that appear on a page, but I cannot limit the number of replies.

I’m using the bbp style pack plugin but I didn’t see anything there that regulates this feature.

What could be causing this problem?

[Milan Petrovic]

My plugin GD Quantum Theme Pro for bbPress is a full bbPress templates package replacement (this is a unique plugin, I am not aware of any other similar plugin availavbl), that give you 3 distinct designs to choose from, predefined color schemes, and the ability to create your own color scheme (all from customizer), with many options to customize things, including alternative layout for forum home page (with the grouped forums).

Here it is plugin home page:
https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-quantum-theme-for-bbpress/

It has links to several demo websites where you can see it in action.

I’m on bbPress 2.6.6, WordPress 5.8.1, and the site is http://bluebirdnut.com/forums/.
I had another SPAM attack last night, this time in the main forum. Hundreds of posts were made, all filled with what looked like Chinese characters. After the last attack, I set flood control at 90 seconds. Whatever or whoever made this attack managed to make it by just waiting 90 seconds between posts. I only caught it because I woke up at 4AM and checked my email and found a new participant had signed up for the forum. I UNchecked the box to “Automatically give registered visitors the
Participant forum role”, which the documentation says will force me to manually assign all user access to your forums. But the new user was able to post without my having approved his role as a participant. I’ve now installed a reCaptcha plugin, but I don’t understand why the settings I’ve specified are being ignored.
Oh, and when I checked the user’s profile (before deleting it) it was able to assign itself the MODERATOR role in addition to participant! I had to disable the plugin in the middle of the night in order to stop the attack. And the IP address of both this attack and the previous one (which I reported in this forum, but didn’t receive a single reply) resolved to the West coast of the US, not China.

Great tip about code snippets plugin, I didn’t know about that one, thanks!

Sadly the user is still showing up in bbpress as Participant. Although I was able to save the user with a Naturopath role in WP.

[angelfire4xx]

Thanks Robin, I did search and replace tutor > Naturopath and pasted the code at the end of functions.php. I would love to say it worked but…

Naturopath appeared as a forum role selection in the dropdown for each WP User. However when Naturopath was selected for the user and then saved, WP only displayed Role = “No role for this user”, and Capabilities = bbp_Naturopath.

When I tried a test post as that user, BBPress described me as a participant.
So, not there yet, but your help is appreciated 🙂
Linda

(PS: I’m looking for the Naturopath role to have the same capabilities as Participant.)

[angelfire4xx]

Not sure if this topic is out of date…?
I have WP 5.8.1
Trying to create a custom role based on the help here, but whatever I do it doesn’t work. Feeling a bit lost as I’m not a developer. I’ve read all the posts on this topic that I can find!
Added this to the end of functions.php
/* bbPress Custom Roles */
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role1’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘Naturopath’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
);

I saw this line sometimes was added so I tried appending that too, but it didn’t help.
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘add_custom_role’, 1 );
}

Any advice? Thanks!

Hi @ajtruckle! I just installed your plugin and while it added the fullscreen capability to the editor and warns you if you are going to leave the page after starting to reply, it doesn’t actually autosave after a specific time interval. Is it supposed to do that?

I’m using the latest versions of bbpress, buddypress, advanced tinymce, bbp style pack, and buddypress members only.

sorry, copied the wrong link

it should be

No we only have bbPress and the bbp style pack, Gamipress – bbPress integration and a plug-in for paid memberships. I don’t think this will be changing it. But there is a column underneath the sentence “you may use these HTML tags and attributes” with:

[Robin W]

hmmm… that’s not a bbpress phrase, do you have another bbpress related plugin that might be doing that ?
