Hello, I’m setting up bbPress for a client and I need to change the author of some forums to assign her as the author and not me. I can change the author of topics but there’s no option to do the same with the forums…

Appreciate any suggestions…

[Chuckie]

I getcha. Understood.

I use the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugin and for replies use this template:

A new reply has been posted by [reply-author].
Topic title: [reply-title]
Topic url: Link to Reply

Excerpt:
[reply-excerpt]

I support I could either remove the excerpt like you say or add another sentence:

Note:
Click on the link to log into the support forum and add your reply to the discussion. Please do not simply reply to this email with your response.

I tried using a string of codes someone posted here, but I couldn’t follow through.
So, can anyone direct me on how to remove that form at the end of forums and topics?

Take this BBPress website for example. The create New Topic takes us to the new page. But it’s not hanging below.

[egemenerd]

I know this is an old topic but if anyone is interested in, we made a plugin for this; https://codecanyon.net/item/tmusers-bbpress-forum-member-directory-for-elementor/33463523

Hi,

I have recently started to have a problem on my site that I really can’t figure out, and I’m hoping someone here can help me to troubleshoot it.

Often, but not always, when someone posts on my site (not just in bbPress, but on the blog as well) I get a flood of a particular kind of query, which causes huge load spikes. Here is an example of one of the queries:

SELECT DISTINCT a.*, u.user_email, u.user_nicename, u.user_login, u.display_name FROM as_bp_activity a LEFT JOIN as_users u ON a.user_id = u.ID WHERE a.is_spam = 0 AND a.component IN ( ‘bbpress’ ) AND a.hide_sitewide = 0 AND a.type != ‘activity_comment’ ORDER BY a.date_recorded DESC LIMIT 0, 5

I have already posted this in the BuddyPress forum, but they said it was related to bbPress, so I should ask here.

[Robin W]

so do you see the topic if you are not logged in, or not logged in as moderator/keymaster?

Usually you would just/only see ‘unapprove’ if topics automatically publish (so you would not see ‘approve’)

To see ‘approve’ usually you would have something set in

dashboard>settings>discussion that holds topics to await approval

or you mught have an additional bbpress related plugin that does this

[Robin W]

either use the settings in

dashboard>settings>discussion

which lets you set say ‘before a comment appears’

or use

bbPress – Moderation Tools

which though old still works fine

Dear community,

I am using bbPress Version 2.6.6 and I am wondering what the “approve” button is for?
In my case whenever an user creates a topic or reply I see the “approve” button as an admin though the topic / reply has been already published?!

The most confusing thing is after I approve (or unapprove) a topic / reply it disappears and I can not find it nowhere anymore?!

Can anybody explain where I can find them and what this function is for?

Thanks in advance and best regards

[mgfit1]

Can anyone help with this? There is no way to post in forums at all. There is no post button. It just says “this forum is empty”
I am using all the recent versions of things. This is a new website. It is a member only website using wordpress, BBpress, Buddypress and some other plugins. Please help! In a time crunch!

sorry for making you wait.

The better term is probably “search result page”. The header of my bbp forum comes with a search bar which allows users to enter keywords (i.e. “browser”) and then takes then to the respective search result page (example: https://webgefaehrte.de/videoassistent/suchen/browser/).

I’d like to add a tag cloud into the existing side bar (right hand side).

Meanwhile I found this suggestion which, however, I can’t get to work 😉

The threats regarding #1 und #2 is this one:
– https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-with-shortcode-tag-cloud-in-sidebar-widget/
– https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-font-size-range-for-tag-cloud/

Any advise is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jan

This is an issue with the bbpress-notification plugin not bbpress, suggest you post to their support forum

[Morten Albek]

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/sanvigs-kunstskole.dk/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/sanvigs-kunstskole.dk/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notification/bbpress-notification.php:377) in /customers/c/d/0/sanvigs-kunstskole.dk/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/sanvigs-kunstskole.dk/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-notification/bbpress-notification.php:377) in /customers/c/d/0/sanvigs-kunstskole.dk/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.
Very strange.

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???

[Robin W]

sorry, I have given you some code which addresses, which does not seem to satisfy you.

I am not quite sure why you think the plugin authors would want to make their plugin work for your exact circumstances, but if you want to post a defect then go here

Hello, I have a membership website, and in it a forum with bbpress.
I use restrict content pro and to restrict the forum I installed the restric content pro-bbpress plugin.
The following happens to me, apparently this plugin is abandoned and they do not make updates for a lot of time, or so the security of my website indicates.
My question is which one can I change it for and have it integrated with restric content pro.

My version of: wordpress is
5.8 bbpress 2.6.6
RCP-bbpress
1.0.1 My
site is https://www.tactodebarro.com
Thank you for your attention Nuria

[pawanahluwalia]

Thanks!

However, is_bbpress() only seems to be true if you are on the root forum page.

How can I test for any forum page?

I tried

echo get_permalink();

on a forum page, but it does not display anything. It does display it on the root forum page, but it does not match the root forum page permalink. It again shows the highest Forum ID permalink instead.

Presumably the page is being created in code and is overwriting the content of the current forum page.

Any further suggestions?

Hola, tengo una web de membresia, y en ella un foro con bbpress.
Utilizo restric content pro y para restringir el foro instalé el plugin restric content pro-bbpress.
Me ocurre lo siguiente, al parecer este plugin está abandonado y no hacen actualizaciones desde hace un montón de tiempo, o eso me indica la seguridad de mi web.
Mi pregunta es por cuál puedo cambiarlo y que esté integrado con restric content pro.

Mi versión de: wordpress es 5.8
bbpress 2.6.6
RCP-bbpress 1.0.1
Mi sitio es https://www.tactodebarro.com
Gracias por tu atención

I’d suspect that because each forum is not an real individual wordpress page (ie not in dashboard>pages) , then retrieving the page_link might well return a ‘virtual’ ID, and this might be the top forum – not proven, just a hunch.

My initial suggestions would be that you try get_permalink instead of get_page_link() – this retrieves the full url of the current displayed page, and should in theory get you what you want.

If you need the existing get_page_link() for your other pages, you could try wrapping it in an if… eg:

if (is_bbpress()) {
get_permalink etc.
}
else {
get_page_link()
}

Let us know if that helps

Hi,

I have WP V5.8 and bbPress V5.0 with OceanWP theme.

I have a custom function.php file in which I control access to pages by user role. For example user_role1 may only access pages with /user_role1/ in the url path.

I have then added a custom forum page called qaforums.

In the bbPress settings I have made this as my Forum Root.

I have then added /qaforums/forum/ and /qaforums/topic/ as permitted paths for user_role1.

Now here is where things get strange.

Let’s say I have a range of forums with the permalinks:

mywebsite.com/qaforums/forum/forum_name1/
mywebsite.com/qaforums/forum/forum_name2/
mywebsite.com/qaforums/forum/forum_name3/
etc.

In theory, my user access rules should permit users to see these forums. However, they don’t.

What I discovered is that in order for my access rules to work I need to include permalink /forum_name3/ in the permitted paths list.

In testing, I discovered that the get_page_link() function on the root forum page returns the path:

mywebsite.com/forum_name3/forum_name3/

instead of

mywebsite.com/qaforums/

forum_name3 happens to be the forum with the highest Forum ID.

So my questions are:

1. Why is the get_page_link() function returning a different url on the the root forum page?

2. Why is the permalink mywebsite.com/qaforums/forum/forum_name3/ being changed to mywebsite.com/forum_name3/forum_name3/ ?

And by the way, the get_the_ID() function confirms the same thing.

Any help in understanding this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Ah, so maybe they are legacy files left over from my original bbpress install from years ago. I will try removing them and see what happens. Thanks so much!

[Robin W]

ummm…

ok, ether you are using bbpress version 1, which went out of production many years ago or might be a related plugin or part of a wrapper like buddyboss????

bbpress version 2.6.x does not have any files of those names

[packzap]

bb-settings.php is at the root of the install (domain) along with other important bbpress files like bb-edit.php, bb-login.php, bb-post.php, etc . . .

[specstanza]

Thank you so much @robin-w – changed the subscription to fav with bbp_get_topic_favoriters 🙂

add_action('bbp_template_before_single_topic', 'show_bbp_sub');
function show_bbp_sub() { 
	$subscriptions = bbp_get_topic_favoriters(bbp_get_topic_id()) ;
	$count = count($subscriptions) ;
	echo 'number of users subscribed: '.$count;
}

Now I only have to look for a way to display my topics and sorted them by numbers of favs! Thanks to you I know there was some major changes with the 2.6 version.

I found W3 Total cache did not offer any perfomance improvements and I actually had less visitors when using the cache plugin.

The plugin works and does cache certain areas, but I am working with my hosting company to ensure server side cache is best, as nothing really else I have tried isas good as i was hoping (for BBPRESS)

Take a look at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bb-press-conflict-with-w3-total-cache/

in particular the below options to add to the page cache>never cache –

/forums*
/forum*
/topic*
/topics*
/reply*

[techinbermudas]

If possible can you share the settings you’re using?

I’m having a lot of issues with cache and bbpress. Always have to CTRL+SHIFT+R to have updated contents and i’ve tried all options that i know.

Documentation is lacking. Your best bet is to dive into the code.

bbp_insert_forum() to create a forum:
https://github.com/bbpress/bbPress/blob/master/src/includes/forums/functions.php#L24

bbp_insert_topic() to create a topic: https://github.com/bbpress/bbPress/blob/master/src/includes/topics/functions.php#L24

For BuddyPress, look at the wp_bp_activity DB table with the component column set to groups. You could use BP_Activity_Activity::get() (https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/src/bp-activity/classes/class-bp-activity-activity.php#L380) to fetch activity items, but probably querying the DB is faster.

The rest is up to you.
