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 ?

[abdurhman]

Good night …
How is everyone ..
Why not develop the extension to be an integrated forum system
More advanced forums and sections system
A system of powers and observers
Membership and group system
The system of titles and ranks for memberships
Search engine compatibility system
Friend links
Many things need to be developed in addition
I hope to see it in the next releases

I apologize as I didn’t set up the site to know the correct answer. I’ve been told by MillaN that this “freshness” is core to bbpress.

I just know the page as a url that I’ve placed in the custom html section.

“Hi,

I doubt this can be changed how the freshness update behaves. This is done with the Akismet addon in bbPress, and that addon has no filters to control it, so the only fix would be changing bbPress directly. This process calls normal bbPress functions that trigger updates to freshness, so it would be very hard to change with even direct modifications to bbPress because other parts depend on it.”

[Robin W]

you would do better to use the bbpress widget

(bbPress) Recent Topics

which lets you set a number

[fenna4498]

Goodday,

We are currently building our platform with the theme Vikinger and is including bbPress.
We have created more than 60 forum topics but only 50 topics will show up on the page.
The last one on the page is “paralympic sports” and the last one we created is “Yoga”.
You can find the topic when you search this in the search bar, but we want all topics to show up on the page.

[cryptobeya]

Hello, I have successfully installed BBpress and have it displayed on a forums page. I would like to have 2 different forums pages, one for investors and one for developers. I have created several forums, however, I would like to display certain ones on one page and certain forums on another. How do I accomplish this? Do I have to have have all forums display on the same page?

Wordpress = 5.8.1
BBpress = 2.6.6

I am also using Buddypress and bbpress with Divi, I would like to change the font size of forum headers and text, it’s too small. I have seen advice saying Appearance-bbpress etc but bbpress does not show under appearance?

After I Install and activate bbPress nothing shows up in my admin area sidebar (Forum, Topics, Replies do not appear). When I create a new page and paste there a shortcode for displaying the whole forum index, the page shows an error. I don’t know what went wrong, I tested on my localhost and it worked fine.
I also tried to delete the plugin and install it again.

[regnalf]

as no one answer this, i tried it by myself. i found a function in bbp-style-pack plugin for that.

if (function_exists('bsp_is_forum_unread_amount'))
{
	
	add_shortcode( 'bbp_count_new', 'bbpress_count_new' );
	function bbpress_count_new( $atts )
	{
		
		$output = "";
		$count_new = 0;
		

		$query_foren = new WP_Query(array( 'post_type' => 'forum' ));
		
		
		while($query_foren->have_posts())
		{
			$query_foren->the_post();
			
			$post_id = get_the_id();
			
			$bbp_forum_privategroups = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_private_group');			
			$bbp_user_privategroups = preg_split('/\*/', get_user_meta (get_current_user_id(), 'private_group', true), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
			
			if ( count( $bbp_forum_privategroups ) == 0 )
			{
				$amount_unr = bsp_is_forum_unread_amount( $post_id );
				$count_new += $amount_unr->amount;
			}
			else
			{
				if ( count( array_intersect( $bbp_forum_privategroups, $bbp_user_privategroups )) > 0 )
				{
					$amount_unr = bsp_is_forum_unread_amount( $post_id );
					$count_new += $amount_unr->amount;
				}
			}
		}
		
		if ($count_new > 0 )
		{
			ob_start();
			?><span style="margin-left: 0.3rem; font-size: 0.8rem; padding: 0.4rem;"> <?php echo($count_new); ?></span><?php
			$output = ob_get_contents();
			ob_end_clean();
		}
		
		return $output;
	}

i hope i didn’t oversee something, because it is also combined with private forum groups!

I suppose this isn’t WordPress or BBPress specific, but trying to figure out if there is a WordPress way of doing this.

I am using BBPress, and on some page, such as https://somesite.com/lesson/some-lesson/, I have a block with a link to a discussion topic. That link is of form

<a href="javascript:void(0);" data-target="#myModal" data-href="somesite.com/forums/topic/required-discussion-1/" data-toggle="modal" class="openPopup"><h3 class="topictype-title">required discussion 1</h3></a>

The modal popup is handled in bootstrap via

<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
   <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl">
      <div class="modal-content">
         <div class="modal-header"><button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button><h4 class="modal-title">Class Discussion</h4>
         </div>
         <div class="modal-body"></div><div class="modal-footer"><button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        </div>
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

And with jQuery

    $('body').on('click', '[data-toggle="modal"]', function(){
        $($(this).data("target")+' .modal-body').load($(this).data("href"));
    });

What happens now, is after hitting submit, the modal goes away, and the forum topic page with the submitted reply is loaded: url https://somesite.com/forums/topic/required-discussion-1/#post-25847

The thing is, after user submits from the modal, I want either

**1) the refresh (so, going to https://somesite.com/forums/topic/required-discussion-1/#post-25847) to happen in the modal, or**

**2) for the modal to simply close and user is returned to exactly as they were prior to modal popping up, that is, to https://somesite.com/lesson/some-lesson/**

Ideas on how to ideally achieve these two behaviors? I have never worked with modals before, so curious what are some best practices here to get the desired behavior.

Thanks!

ok, that’s development rather than support.

so you will need to alter templates and put these in your child theme.

look for

\templates\default\bbpress\loop-topics.php
does topic list headers

calls loop-single-topic
\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-topic.php
lists each topic in the forum, last post and freshness

lists topic content

so for each find the file

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

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Hello,

I am using bbpress forum, and having problem with the forum. If I open a forum thread and want to go back to main forum, there is no option to go back to main forum. And breadcrumb does not display on the forum. I have attached snapshot too.

[severbronny]

I tried the above solution but the same issue persists. is there anyone from the development end of bbpress that can lend a hand?

[dalton125]

Replace it with just a list of topics, yes. I have bbPress 2.6.6, and I haven’t changed the theme, so I’m assuming I’m using whatever the default theme is.

Hi there

It’s the end of Sept 2021 and I’ve been trying to sort out an old PHPBB conversion to BBPress.
WP: 5.8.1 and BBPress 2.6.6

I can confirm I’ve done this seemingly successfully. It took a few tries but with this thread I’ve got it working.

I just wanted to share what worked in 2021.

1. I exported my old PHPBB database (.sql file) and then set up a new database on my current host and imported the PHPBB to it.
This just simplified any server timeouts and other connection issues.

2. I obviously had BBpress installed within WP, but the included PHPBB converter doesn’t work (why??) so copied two files from this thread.

a. Firstly, I had the ‘annonymous user’ loop mentioned above so copied @davidmanch great code (a couple of comments above) into:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/classes/class-bbp-converter.php
This fixed the never ending loop but the built in converter didn’t import any users, so …

b. I copied @a8bit excellent code (3 posts above this one) into:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/phpbb.php
This added many more steps to the import which completed without errors. I’m thinking this code might also have fixed the annonymous user loop too but didn’t try it on it’s own?? I’d already change the code in a. above. If you do this, maybe just try this code only and see if it works.

So, if you find this now, it does work (for me at least) so hopefully you don’t have to hunt around for solutions.

The BBPress guys need to look at these two pieces of code and see why their packaged converter doesn’t work. It’s very frustrating and shouldn’t be left to users much smarter than me to fix … but I’m glad they did.

Cheers

Hi,
WP 5.7.3 Admiral. Latest version of bbpress.
https://www.seignalet-plus.com/forums/forum/surviving-the-scamdemic/

I have a no right click plug in on my site. How can I exclude it from the forum? I want people to be able to post links (apart from spammers of course 😉 ) and be able to embed videos.

I’ve looked at all the no right click plug ins and none seem to have that capability.

Thanks in advance for your help.
