Thanks Robin, this is exactly what I intended to do. Unfortunately that was not that easy.
First i decided to import via PHPMyAdmin the entire “user” and “user_meta” tables (just in case some users unsubscribed or changed their password meannwhile)

Then i entirely deleted (delete from trash as well) from my copy-prod website the oldest replies i already had on the beta website. In order to export/import to beta (the fact that you have to reassign one by one each author could be a big hassle if your forum has been very active)

Then i entirely deleted (delete from trash as well) from my copy-prod website the oldest subjects i already have on the beta website (note: dont remove subjects before replies). In order to export/import to beta.

I’m fortunate i did not have to deal with new forums.

I still have some inconsistencies to deal with, but overall it seems to work.

Next time i’ll need a beta website with bbpress I’ll definitively find another way.

yes, bbpress works with 5.7.x

Hello @robin-w, thank you for your answer, but that create a bug.

your solution aswer correctly to my question.
But, now, when I go to a buddypress group that contain a bbpress forum, the forum can’t be linked, because it’s a category, so the both can’t work together.

any idea to solve this problem? Please?

there is an action hook on the forums index so

add_action ('bbp_template_before_forums_index' , 'test_bbpress');

shoul dwork

I’m trying to detect requests for the bbpress forum index page.

Initially I tried ‘bbp_is_forum_archive()’.
This doesn’t return true from the forum archive page.

I decided to test if any bbpress conditional tags were working, so I tested ‘is_bbpress’, because the function calls many (maybe all?) of the other conditionals.

However, ‘is_bbress’ doesn’t return true either.

However, on any page in my site, whether bbpress is on that page or not, this condition returns true:
‘if ( ! is_bbpress() )…’

What could be happening here?

This is my function and the hook I’m using:

add_action('init', 'test_bbpress');
function  test_bbpress() {

    if (  is_bbpress()  ) {
	wp_die("got to the forums page") ;
    }

}

Hi,
I’m presently working on a beta version of an existing bbPress WP Website, and I’ll need to retrieve ONLY the latest bbpress activity from the prod website to the beta website (only new users, new subjects etc …) I can not find a way to do it (the import/export tool deal with ALL the data which i don’t need)
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

[Robin W]

do you see topics and replies in the dashboard

If so are you a keymaster – see dashboard>users and list users, you will see what bbpress roles everyone has. Only Keymasters get forums in the dashboard

[jbp01]

I have recently installed bbPress to work on my WP site, also with integrated LearnDash LMS.

Installationin showing as installed and activated, but no forum options show in the left of my WP or LearnDash site admins.

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

[Robin W]

In bbpress 2.6.x the date freshness format has changed.
If your translation has not been updated this will still display in English.

install

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Freshness Display

and you will be able to enter translations there

[Robin W]

ok, so you are not seeing topic, replies and forums in the dashboard with just bbpress active and a default theme such as twenty twenty – yes ?

[Robin W]

ok, can you see what bbpress level you are

dashboard>users>and select yourself – you should show as ‘keymaster’ to see the dashboard items

[ozwest]

I used the troubleshooting and I only enabled bbPress which again did not show the links in the dashboard.

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress.

I’d suggest 2 things

1. test using an email tester eg

WP Test Email

2. get details of your SMTP email configuration form your host and use

WP Mail SMTP by WPForms

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

Hi,

I installed 2.6.6 on a site running WP 5.7.2. The site is https://www.vsjf.org/.

After activation, I see nothing in the Dashboard, I also see nothing under Settings nor Tools. It’s as if I never installed it.

I’ve never really seen anything like this with a plugin.

I did check the front-end, and the stylesheet for bbpress is loading in my header.

Has anyone experience this before?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so anything that works for wordpress will also work for bbpress

Hi,

I’m testing my new website and found a problem with user registration. When a new user registers (in this case myself using a different email address), the verification email isn’t being send to the user.

I, as an admin receive the email that the user x is registered.

Wondering what could cause this issue? and is there any known fix for this?

[sk80au]

Hi,

I have restricted access to wp-login.php using IP address filtering from htaccess file. Is there a way to have two separate login URLs (php login files) one for admins and a custom URLs for non-admins? If not, I have to remove the IP filtering from my htaccess file.
I noticed that the custom login URL I created for bbPress still uses the wp-login.php.

[jason4locations]

The reason I asked Robin W. that question is because if the bbPress Login Widget has more than the following three options

1. Title: Here you can set the title of the widget as it will be displayed in the sidebar.
2. Register URI: Link to your custom signup page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-register] shortcode.
3. Lost Password URI: Link to your lost-password page eg. A WordPress page using the [bbp-lost-pass] shortcode.

then I might be missing out on too much to use a different Login Widget instead, and therefore I should try harder to figure out how to use the bbPress Login Widget, even though I’ve been struggling to figure out how to use it for a very long time.

[Robin W]

I’m not a bbpress author, but many find the widget useful

[jason4locations]

Thank you, Robin W.

I’m curious why (if anything that works for WordPress registration will work for bbPress forum registration) the bbPress Login Widget was made.

[jason4locations]

The topic at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installing-bbpress-and-creating-registering-new-users-for-your-forum/ is relevant.

Hello,

sorry for my english, i’m french.

I have bbpress 5.1.2.
I need to disable the possibility to post a topic outside of a child forum.
How can I do that ?

thanks
Caroline

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress registration and login, so anything that works for wordpress registration will be fine.

[jason4locations]

Do we have to select the bbPress template page for User Register? A page said that this can be done by clicking on the drop-down Template menu on the right hand section of the screen and selecting bbPress – User Register. But, I couldn’t find that either.
