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

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.

[r-a-y]

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.

[mophilly]

That is encouraging. I am willing to look at developing a migration script.

I have taken a quick look at bbPress and BuddyPress documentation. I looking for a set of functions for getting/setting posts in each product, and a data model. So far, I haven’t seen what I think I am looking for.

I don’t mean to be demanding, but perhaps you can share a link that will help me find my way along?

[specstanza]

Hi @babblebey & @robin-w , thank you both for your work on this matter.

I’m trying to do the same on my Bbpress install (not online yet) in order to sort topic by number of “fav mentions”.

I tried your last two codes but it returns “0” (I hooked them on bbp_template_before_single_topic and putted them in two separated functions).

Does it still works for you? Did I get it all wrong?

Thank you for your answer. 🙂

[uksentinel]

Hi @neon67

Did you ever manage to find a suitable option for BBPRESS cache or is W3 Total Cache still your best option ?

[mophilly]

Thanks for the clarification. The original installation did not include bbPress. As an aside, I was quite surprised to learn bbPress is a separate product, which may offer a clue to why the original designer did not install it.

So, the “streams” are locked forever in BuddyPress, without any hope of redemption. This, too, is surprising since these “streams” are merely text in a database. Alas and anon, I will push forward, delete BuddyPress, light up bbPress, and force the end users to start anew.

I hope for the best, plan for the worst, and pull a nice wine from the rack to comfort myself.

[r-a-y]

Is it correct to say that if the BuddyPress group exists with some posts, and I set up a new bbPress forum in the backend, the existing posts will appear in the bbPress forum?

Depends what you mean by “some posts”. If the BuddyPress group was originally set up with bbPress integration as mentioned here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ (The B and C options only). And forum posts were created in those groups, then yes. You just need to disable BuddyPress and those forum posts should still be viewable.

Otherwise, no. You are probably thinking of the BuddyPress group activity stream that uses Twitter-style status updates, which is not a forum.

[Robin W]

just taken a quick look.

yes it looks like it will show the sub forums of a forum ID you enter, but not the parent forums as well.

I should say I’m not a bbpress author, and after a check of the code it is not an easy change to fix

[tumptyteapot]

Hi
When logged in and we use the forum search the results are password protected and they shouldn’t be.

WordPress 5.8
bbPress Version 2.6.6

I have disabled all plugins apart from bbPress and tried it on a default theme but the problem persists.

[mophilly]

Is it correct to say that if the BuddyPress group exists with some posts, and I set up a new bbPress forum in the backend, the existing posts will appear in the bbPress forum?

I understand that the two are not the same. I also have a pretty good understanding of how data is handled in WordPress… not expert by any stretch, but not a beginner either. Also, I have decades of experience with dbms. So I assume the answer to my question is “no.”

It would be cool to be able to recreate the posts from the BuddyPress group in the new bbPress forum. I don’t mind a bit of query and/or script writing to make things come together.

Any suggestions or insights are very welcome.

should do it
