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…

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.

[folgerj]

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
