This is bbpress.org for bbPress, for BuddyPress head on over to https://buddypress.org/ where you can read about BuddyPress features.

Also have a read of the BuddyPress forums https://buddypress.org/support/ where no doubt many others have asked the same questions you are asking and if you have further questions you can post on the forums there.

Hello,

I have bbpress and buddypress installed in my site. I have “user groups” turned off in buddypress and “enable group forums” turned off too in bbpress.

Despite this I still have a Forums link (which belongs to group furum) in my user activity page menu (not the site-wide activity page), this page is showing links to my activity, my profile, my messages, my friends, my forums and my configuration.

Why is the forums link showing in this menu if I have group and group forums disabled? It should not exist.

Besides this, this Forums link is linking to a wrong url, it is linking to luchotv.com/forums and the group forums page I have set for this is luchotv.com/foro-grupos in the buddypress pages configuration.

In fact this page (http://www.luchotv.com/foro-grupos/) shows the group forums info and I think it shouldn’t even exist.

I am running the latest versions of everything.

Please tell me how can I fix this problem?

Thank you,
Luciano

Try…

if ( is_bbpress() ) { ... }

No, I dont believe so. Try going to /forums/topic-tag/whatevertag/edit/ on yoir site whilst logged out and check what an anonymous user can perform on that ‘whatevertag’

> Can topic tags be turned off for anonymous users? (I don’t believe so,
> but would love to know otherwise)

You are correct ‘Topic Tags’ can only be enabled/disabled site wide and not for specific user roles.

> Which files do I have to edit to only allow editing of topic tags by
> registered users and/or admins?

I’m not sure on the finer points of this though for a start have a look at this ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1806 and the changesets 4098 & 4099. This ticket was for the changes to enable/disable ‘Topic Tags’ sitewide so hopefully that can give some more pointers on where and what to look for.

bbPress 2.x will not email the admin by default whenever a post is made and I dont think this is possible without a plugin (I dont know of a plugin that does this either for bbPress 2.x)

[Stephen Edgar]

Check your date and time settings for WordPress at /wp-admin/options-general.php as bbPress inherits its settings from that WordPress setting.

Hello,

I got this strange thing with posting at bbpress plugin.

When someone is making a post it’s shows:

november 3, 2012 at 3-11-2012

instead of november 3, 2012 12:00

Here you can see the problem:

How to fix this?

[Stephen Edgar]

It actually was already in the Codex here: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/

It had the incorrect details though, I have just put a quick update up now.

I started last year with 1.0 and I loved that every time a forum user would post or reply I would get an email. My blog is seasonal with a high point in Sept/Oct and I don’t have time to look each day for new replies/posts.
My question is this… Was this functionality (sending me a email) installed from another plugin that was disabled this summer (and thusly not working anymore) or does everybodies BBpress installations do this and I have a conflict that is preventing me from getting them?

I think it’s this one.

solved

Hi rossjlennox,

No worries. My poor quiet thread.

We were actually unable to do a fix, but our solution was to restore the site to original and do a clean re-install, re-import. And I mean restore the site from the database as if from scratch, and not use any of the bbPress import or troubleshooting tools.

My issue was that when I did the importer for the first time, I had forgotten to set the dropdown menu to “bbpress standalone.” The steps to import were very specific, and one small misstep like that affected everything. So the second time around, we made sure that all the settings and fields were correct before importing again.

It now works for us.

I would try restoring the site again and maybe deactivate all the plugins. Hope that helps.

Please stop bumping this topic.

Nobody can help you.. Go to the WordPress support forums there is much more traffic.
Maybe somebody over there can help , else it’s just not possible and you have to pay somebody to do so.

Good question i would like to know also.

I doubt somebody has figured it out because i see this happening al the time at bbPress and WordPress forums.

For now:
Add the tagged words that clearly have nothing to do with your support-forum like Abercrombie, NBA, Air Jordan and stuff like that to the WordPress settings blacklist.

Hi folks,

I have a small forum that I use for some support on plugins for various open source projects. I currently allow anonymous users to post topics and replies, but protect the forum with Akismet and the bbPress recaptcha plugin. This seems to take care of many spurious spam posts. However, I seem to have an extremely large amount of topic tags that are spam. I have several questions about that:

1. Can topic tags be created without a topic creation or reply or reply edit?
2. Can topic tags be turned off for anonymous users? (I don’t believe so, but would love to know otherwise)
3. Which files do I have to edit to only allow editing of topic tags by registered users and/or admins?

Thanks,

Tomek

Gingerngo – apologies for bombing your thread without an answer but I am seeing this exact behaviour on my own forum after upgrading from v1 to 2. Have you made any progress? I would be eternally grateful for any light you may be able to shed.

P.S. I too had the integration plugin installed and active during the upgrade process.

[oitavaesfera]

With bbpress installed on my site several blog posts appear with the text of the forum articles and not of the blog. All gets mixed up

How can I solve this?

Thanks

Hello,

I just installed buddypress/bbpress in my site, it is using catalyst/dynamic theme and everything works fine but I really dont like the bbpress forum layout. It displays well but it is just ugly. Is there any way to change the style or look of the forum without changing my theme? I would like something more like vBulletin, phpbb or even this same forum which looks a lot better.

You can take a look at http://www.luchotv.com/foro

wp 3.4.2

bbpress 2.1.2

buddypress 1.6.1

buddypress template pack 1.2.1

catalyst 1.5.3

dynamic 1.1

Thank you for your help,

Luciano

Create a new page and use the [ shortcodes ]

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
(bottom)

Step 4:

The code is a bit messy.
Here is the code in Pastebin.

http://pastebin.com/0iA4ReV9

Change the default to the NEW and you’re done.

Alright guys i’ve got a solution,

Please note, i have ZERO PHP skills so this probably isn’t the best solution on earth but i think it’s a good work-around to get the job done ‘easy’..

If some PHP developer reads this topic and thinks, damn this guy is going crazy with all his copy-/pasting stuff please feel free to modify this code..

What did i do:
First i opened up the Core template file of bbPress where the Breadcrumbs function is made.
I have copied the code and pasted inside a new PHP document, made some simple HTML changes before and after the urls and called this new template file inside my Theme’s functions.php

Last i called my custom Breadcrumb PHP code just to make sure my code is loaded and not the default bbPress code..

Here you go.
When your done it should look like this structure..
http://i46.tinypic.com/33z93lg.png

Nothing too fancy but the only difference, it’s made by a HTML List , like it should be in 2012 because a Breadcrumbs is a navigation and not just 5 URLs behind each other.
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#breadcrumbs

Step 1:
Paste all this code into a new empty PHP document and call it breadcrumbs.php
When your done drop this file into your Themes include folder.
wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / inc / * here *
http://pastebin.com/bWdPEXa5

Step 2:
Open your theme functions.php file and add this code to it.
http://pastebin.com/nJ9pZinq

Step 3:
Open the bbPress or WordPress stylesheet and add those few lines of CSS to it.
http://pastebin.com/KyPuknTw

Step 4:
Inside the bbPress template files you often find this line of PHP code, it calls the default Breadcrumb function:

Change that line to this one and your done..

__( '', 'bbpress' ), ) ); ?.>

• without the dots before and after the -> .?.

Hope this helps..

What can i do to overwrite a bbPress Core function and develop my own function..

Let say i want to overwrite the default bbPress breadcrumb tag.

I found the Core code inside a Core-template and i pasted this code inside a new PHP document changed all the bbp_ names of all functions to bbp_shmoo_ > Saved it.

Loaded this new file from the inc. folder into my themes functions.php with the require_once tag..

Change the PHP code inside my forum template from bbp_breadcrumb(); to bbp_shmoo_breadcrumb(); but this doesn’t work, why does it break my theme ?

I need a before_link and after_link array.

This is what a breadcrumb looks like, by default made with a List because it’s a navigation.

@JJJ

Please do the people on bbPress.org a huge favor and delete all the fancy stuff in this comment-form, just load the default wordpress.ORG comment-form it’s huge and only support a few needed options. This is getting ridicules. People have to be an acrobat to post some code on this forums.

I can’t copy-/paste @mattsimo code because of this forum-software.

Safari + Firefox it doesn’t copy the the selected code i needed.

[Shmoo]

Maybe a little bit late..

The Lead Topic ( content-single-topic-lead.php ) is a very powerful but super simple function that can be used to style the Topic Authors different from the Repliers..

It’s also very useful if you want to add some ads or a simple note to your readers after the first message ( from the topic author)

Bummer this is nowhere to be found in the Codex.
But you can activate this option by adding this line of code to your WordPress theme functions.php template file.
Note i say functions.php and not bbpress-functions.php because you if you would add it to the bbpress-functions.php this code will be overwritten when the bbPress plugin updates in the future.

add_filter( 'bbp_show_lead_topic', '__return_true' );

Hope that helps..

[Stephen Edgar]

The only thing I can think of to offer at the moment would be this ticket in trac “Enable WordPress custom fields” as https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1743. If a patch/plugin was made to support this then that might be enough for MemberMouse to hook into…
