I have this same problem. I am now downloading version 1.2, to upgrade from 1.02.

But I have my forum on a different database. And would like to import it to the WordPress database. I´ve tried using the converter without success. So would appreciate any help on this problem.

Have a look in the codex docs https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

And bbPress source

Hi Lynq.
I’m trying to run your code but seems to not work. I have wordpress 3.5 and CatchBox Theme. I copied the contents of “bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs-master” folder to “/public/www/wp-content/themes/catch-box/bbpress/” but it seems not working yet.

Because forums lists the topics as:

FORUM1
Topic1(0,0), Topic2(0,0)
FORUM2
Topic1(0,0), Topic2(0,0)

But want to make changes to do as:

FORUM1
Topic1 (0,0),
Topic2 (0,0)
FORUM2
Topic1 (0,0)
Topic2 (0,0)

Please, can you help ?
Thanks in advance.

You can also use https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/ as used here on bbpress.org to use a different template for the ‘lead topic’.

An alternative to your str_replace method is to make your own language translation. https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

This is bbPress, you should ask the Buddy Press community over here http://buddypress.org

[Stephen Edgar]

Download links for v1.2 are over here https://bbpress.org/download/legacy/
(v1.2 is the same as v1.1 with a fix for BackPress pomo language support)

I also updated https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

Greetings,

I’m working on my first WordPress page and have selected bbpress as my forum plugin.
However my theme (Montezuma) is not too fond of just installing and using this forum. I found out I had to make new main template PHP files for each page bbpress uses.

I found out that the main page is archive.php… but I’m having problems finding the right page for user profiles.

Can someone help me out here? Maybe an entire list of filenames that bbpress uses?

Thanks. 🙂

That is a little strange. This topic did not move to the top. It still says that the last reply was 1 month ago.

Edit: Works now with this reply..

John James Jacoby said: You’ll want to update to bbPress 1.1 first; the schematic changed from 1.0 to 1.1.

Where can we download 1.1 then? Its not at the legacy page. I got 1.0.2 too and are trying to upgrade to latest 2.x.

You might want to update the Import Forums Codex because it says that bbPress v1.x is supported, but its not as you said yourself.

I’ve managed to wrap my head around the new bbpress forum roles system pretty well, but unfortunately I think there is a minor flaw in its construction that prevents the flexibility in capability allocation that we had before this addition.

I have several groups of users on my site who participate in a special set of forums that are grouped within a forum category which is HIDDEN. I had previously allowed users who attain appropriate qualifications to participate in these hidden discussion forums by assigning them an elevated site role like “Contributor” which possessed the “Read Hidden Forums” capability.

The issue is now that forum roles have entered the picture, the “Participant” rank seems to override the “Contributors” ability to read hidden forums. I cannot manage to get any user the ability to view hidden forums unless they possess a forum role of moderator or keymaster. This poses an issue in my case, because I simply want these users to participate in hidden forums, but not have the ability to moderate them.

To summarize, it seems that bbp_participant’s lack of read_hidden_forums overrides my site role that actually has this capability assigned. What would be ideal is if I can assign these bbpress capabilities to a sitewide role, which would allow that role to supersede the capability set of a participant.

I’d welcome any thoughts or advice,
Andrew

Hi

I have a wordpress(3.4.1) installation adb bbpress 2.2.2 plugin.

For some reason whenever any tag like , , , etc… are put in the content of a topic, it get removed while saving the topic. Even the tags allowed by default are removed while saving.

So basically a line like

I am going to and will need

will become

I am going to and will need

after saving.

I have tried putting and surrounding the content, but it does not help.

I have also tried “bbpress post toolbar” plugin but that kind of messes of with my theme
and too many things start breaking so I removed this.

I have already spent few days on this issue. Can someone help ?

thx

@JohnJamesJacoby, Thanks very much for confirming this! I found the ticket you created with a solution: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4657

I’ll probably go ahead and push this through later today, great work and Merry Christmas!

[common8308]

So,, there’s no plan so far.. thanks for letting me know. 🙂
I just decided to follow your advice and adjusted CSS to the img tags in the activity stream contents.
Thank you for the fast reply!

Hi guys and gals.

Right know I use the BBpress log in widget to log users in, but I would like to integrate it with Facebook login.

The thing I would miss if I give up the BBpress log in widget is that then the user presses his name, it redirect the user to is BBpress profile (Not the WordPress controlpanel)

That is the best way to solve this?

Regards Nicolai.

Hi @rkarel,

Welcome to the forums. If I understand correctly, to do what you want, you’ll likely need to dive into the templates and start writing some custom code.

bbPress comes with a very basic set of templates to get you started, so that you can quickly get started using it. Once you want to customize the look and feel, it’s very similar to WordPress, where you’ll need custom code to do it.

Check out the documentation to get started. There are lots of hints and tips in there.

[Rkarel]

I am going to use a lot of categories and subcategory in the BBPress forums, how can I make displaying the most recent 15 subcategories’s topics in my categories? For example, the main forum’s page displays [bbp-forum-index] and [bbp-topic-index] , if I am goint to category’s page, this page displays only subcategories, and i want to display resent topics under list of subcategories! Sorry for my English 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

Confirmed the bug. It’s fixed in trunk, and will be part of bbPress 2.3 in January.

Sorry about that.

[John James Jacoby]

@rigormortis_uk – The Moderator role.

Users can have multiple roles; in this case one for the site, and one specifically for the forums.

[John James Jacoby]

This isn’t a testing site, so I’m closing this topic.

If you have ideas for improvement to the site, create a ticket and include some details/mocks/CSS.

Thanks for the feedback.

[John James Jacoby]

No plans, but could be done. Since the BuddyPress activity streams contain full HTML in each item, it’s a bit of a mess to change the visual layout. You could use some targeted CSS to improve it, but until we move to having callbacks for the items, it’s pretty limited what customizations you can do.

[common8308]

I’m currently using the most recent version of WP + BP + BBpress together with great satisfaction.

In my site, I’m using bbpress as graphics forum, so the participants usually post lots of topics/replies with image contents with img tags.

The issue is that the images are all shown in buddypress activity stream having the original widths/heights, so the activity stream, which is supposed to be brief and simple, are all messed up with huge photos and images.

I wonder if it’s the special behavior of my site, or a normal behavior.
And if it’s the normal behavior of bbpress, I’m curious to know is there a future plan for inserting the image resizing function in activity stream.

Thanks for reading! Merry Christmas to all. 🙂

Anyway to get Arabic version for bbpress 2.2.3?
Any language pack ?!
