I am a newbie to bbpress so please be gentle.

Basically I am looking to have the following functionality on my forums….

1) Any logged in user can post a topic, and any logged in user can post a reply. (standard stuff so far).

2) Reply’s to the topics can ONLY be seen by the person who posted the topic and admins only.

3) I would like to show that there has been an “x” number of replies to the topic but not the actual replies.

Does anyone know if this is possible please?

how would I implement the bbpress.php file if I don’t want it to get erased in updates? do I copy the bbpress.php and edit and put it in the child theme folder?

also where is settings > bbpress
I have settings > forum
do I modify the slugs?

forum labels are in config panel of admin area.
(french : réglages -> bbpress).
use bbpress.php if you want another template than page.php

[sourpatch]

Do I make the bbpress.php and put it in the wordpress theme folder or the bbpress theme folder? Can there be two bbpress.php files will one override the other?

sorry I should use the edit, didn’t realize, I’m not sure if this was wrong way to use the forum

So can anyone explain to me how I can edit the bbpress.php file and change the forum labels, like the word forum and topic to another word. Do I make a bbpress.php file and put it in my child theme? I duplicated the bbpress.php file and edited it now where should I place it? or is this the wrong approach?

[sourpatch]

I am trying to edit the bbpress.php file,I want to edit the word Forum and Topic and change it to words of my choice, I have duplicated and made changes and put it in my child theme? but nothing displays. Is it wrong to approach it like this? should I not be duplicating the file? The reason I want to put it in my child theme is so when I update the changes do not get deleted. Am I not suppose to edit the bbpress.php file?

Unfortunately, I have spent weeks trying to figure out this issue myself.

The problem is bbPress, WordPress, and WordPress multisite don’t communicate well with registration. bbPress 2 appears to call wp-signup inline in the page.

This would be typically be a good thing, unfortunately, WordPress multisite’s registration is the problem. It was based around WordPress.com not the typical site/network owner’s needs.

My fix, which admittedly, I’m still implementing myself, was to create a custom wp-signup.php, do a 301 redirect to the WordPress wp-signup, and drop the wp-signup in a custom theme folder, which itself is designed to just serve the signup form.

It’s still far from perfect. When someone is finished signing up, I basically have to present them with a menu that says “you’re signed up, here’s a list of our sites, please click back to the one you originally came from.” There is no breadcrumb support in Multisite to return a user, after registration, to the multisite site that they originated from, it always by default drops them to the default site.

In the end, a custom theme at least lets me control the process, and a custom wp-signup lets me present users with a menu of my sites to chose from, in the hopes they will be able to spring back to the site they came from, and then be registered.

Can’t fault bbPress for this one, the only way I could see bbPress fix this, would be to completely replicate and track the wp-signup flow in-plugin. I think that would be a great idea, but would take tons of effort. The benefit, of course, would be fine-grained control, and remove the need to do the dozens of hours of effort I’ve had to do (and can’t easily post/replicate for others… not to mention constantly having to patch multiple files during each WordPress update).

Hi All,

From long time, I am wondering why bbPress uses 3 custom-posts?

As a developer, I would have used only 1 custom-posts i.e. for “topics”.

For “replies” I would have used “comments” (that comes bundled with any “post_type”.
For “forums” I would have used “Custom Taxonomy” (Hierarchical).

I feel 1 custom-post with comments and Custom Taxonomy would have been better.

Is there anything bbPress does which might not have been possible above way?

Thanks.

Add this to functions.php: it will filter the bbpress function that shows the avatar to switch it to using full.


function fix_forum_avatar($author_avatar = false, $reply_id = false, $size = false) {
echo str_replace('-bpthumb', '-bpfull', $author_avatar );
}
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'fix_forum_avatar');

Hi Guys,

Been using 2.0.2 BBPress for quite some time alongside a Wishlist Member installation.

However, I find that when I upgrade to any new version (including 2.1.2) everything breaks. I also can tell ya that with 2.0.2 the only way things worked correctly was by checking the below feature:

> Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)

Thoughts on why this version works but nothing newer?

Thanks

Im using fresh bbpress installed and i didnt modified the files. I use shortcode for registration.

http://dev.codenamegta.hu/regisztracio please help to solve this problem

[Anonymous User 154007]

FYI, I’ve just created a Python script to convert all bbPress content to plain WordPress object.

The use case for this script is detailed in this article.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m not seeing this though I am running /trunk v2.2beta which has had a bit of an overhaul regarding the way ‘edit’ templates work. See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1968

[Stephen Edgar]

I had been down this path before and now have a patch and the key to it indeed was as you mentioned the before_link and after_link.

The patch is here with example code that should help you out rather that that ^^^ up there 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m not sure why it is doing that, have you modified or using custom bbPress templates with your theme?

What about using the bbPress shortcodes for Login/Register? https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes

[Stephen Edgar]

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() ) { ... }

> Can topic tags be created without a topic creation or reply or reply
> edit?

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.
