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

best I can suggest is :

it could be a theme or plugin issue

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

Then come back

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.

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?

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.

[Robin W]

sorry, copied the wrong link

it should be

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]

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

[sbask]

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.

<input type=”text” name=”이메일” value=”<?php bbp_sanitize_val( ‘user_password’ ); ?>” size=”20″ id=”user_password” maxlength=”100″ autocomplete=”off” />
