Hi,
I have been using UM plugin along with bbpress for one of my website.
My problem is that custom login page created with UM form works perfectly fine, but my login process with wp-login.php is not consistent and sometimes gives error even when username and password is correct.
What could be the issue?
Thanks

PinkishHue’s post at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-get-a-feed-of-all-activity/ might be useful. It has links to shortcode like [display-posts author=”bill”].

[jason4locations]

I’m also interested in that type of shortcodes (and whether they exist), and if there are other ways to do it besides with shortcodes.

If the shortcodes for it don’t exist, I’m a little curious about why they don’t exist, though why they don’t exist isn’t a burning question, to me. I couldn’t find anything like it at https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/.

Though, I already asked how to do it, not necessarily with shortcodes, at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/links-to-what-was-started-created-by-logged-in-users/. I added the tag “alternatives” to let people know that there might be other ways to do it.

Thanks for your work.

Do the topics at

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-activity-topics-started-or-replied-to/

and

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-activity-topics-started/

mean that it can only be done with (what is to me) a lot of code? I’ll learn the code if I have to, but right now I’m looking for something easier, even if it doesn’t give me a lot of control. I know I said I found plugins, but I’d trust what I found so much more if they were discussed in places like wpbeginner and this bbPress support forum. How can I tell if I should go with a plugin?

Adding tags like “user activity”, “activity widget”, and “activity menu” might make this topic helpful for others, unless what I’m looking for is called something else that I don’t know the name of.

Was it wrong to create this reply, if it is bumping?

Thank you.

I followed your suggestion and disabled plugins (I did in groups as I could not disable everything at once). I could not find anything that would make those scheduled posts disappear from the list.

I installed the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin (great tool by the way). Changing theme didn’t do anything. Enabling bbpress alone, it was still showing those scheduled posts. Nothing else (but the must-use plugins) was enabled.

And none of your plugins is associated with that either.

I think you are really looking for some wordpress training. bbpress just uses wordpress login, and the pop up or tooltip type help text you are after is well beyond any free help, and would require extensive site specific coding – sorry.

Hello all,

I have a question i am testing a migration from phpbb to bbpress. but now for a while i get a repeat of step 8, how long does this take? i have about 60 times step 8 now and counting.

And i do not see any users from the original forum, i still have to do the repair as mentioned above to see if that works.

[drdarakh]

Dear all bbpress experts,

This is pertaining to the forum site http://www.dentistrytoday.info.

I would be greatly obliged of this forum can suggest ways and means to guide our dentist user during the registration and posting process. The intention is to make it as easy as possible for the user to post and reduce the learning curve time.

I want to make it as easy as possible for the user to post queries, upload clinical images as attachments or as inline images etc.

Therefore, I want to insert instruction text boxes whenever required. If possible the instruction text boxes should have a CLOSE button so that the boxes can be closed of the does not want to see them.

Also the instruction boxes should be mobile friendly.

Now my queries

1. Is there any plugin which can do this?

2. Can we insert instruction boxes by drag and drop method?

3. Once the boxes are inserted will my staff be able to do minor changes in the wording of the text boxes from the dashboard.

4. If the boxes are created by manual coding than will they be disturbed of any of the plugins already installed are updated.

I also want to put instruction boxes on the registration page. The intention is to guide the new user for the registration process.

Are there any other methods for this ( chat bot, call out boxes etc.)

Hope to see a lot of responses and many thanks in advance for the same. Please open the WORD file attached to this message.

Regards,

Dr. Veerendra Darakh.

suspect it might be a another plugin that is adding these (possibly one of mine, but hopefully not!)

so the standard fault finding applies

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

[Robin W]

so how is it visible, as a menu item?
and what method in item 3 of this are you using

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[jason4locations]

I would also like the options of “Topics Replied To” and “Subscriptions”. I would like for it to look something like

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tDn-54qvuhLe0_yqoUtA4S_zuYE7XqIO/view?usp=sharing

which is part of a screen that looks like

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1460rnXZZ43auHj0jE9YByxf3-hcg72x7/view?usp=sharing

I’ve found plugins that I think I can do this with, but I don’t know how reliable and dangerous those plugins are to use. If possible, I’d like to compare a widget (that can do what I described above) with a page (from a menu) that can also do it. The above two links went to two pictures. Also, please tell me what specific plugin, pages, or etc. was/were used to create the parts of those two pictures (that are specifically of a bbPress page) that I have been describing.

Thank you.

For anyone else looking for solution to bbpress posts being marked ‘Pending’ without clear reason, check Settings > Discussion and the settings there, particularly the number of links before posts are automatically sent for moderation, which was tripping us up.

Hi,

I’d like to modify the reply topic from paragraph <p> to heading <h1> or <h2>. I tried to modify few php files but couldn’t get it working. Also checked few codex content but couldn’t find anything relevant. Wondering if somone done this before or knows how to do it. Thanks.

[Rono]

We’re having a similar issue in a LearnDash/bbPress site:

If the post is on page 2 of the topic, for example, the direct link to the post redirects to the main page of the topic like this:
https://example.com/forums/topic/ask-anything-about-week-1-lesson/#post-51504

and not like this (where I manually added the page number). this link works correctly:
https://example.com/forums/topic/ask-anything-about-week-1-lesson/page/2/#post-51504

Did we miss something in the configuration?

Thanks

[jason4locations]

If all I want to do is have links to the topics started (and replies created) by the user who is logged in, and I want something simpler than ProfileGrid and UsersWP, what words should I be using to search http://www.wpbeginner.com? Is there a better way to find which one to use?

Do I even need another plugin to do that? Did I fail to see what I need when I was looking through the bbPress and Style Pack widgets, the bbp Style Pack tabs, and the bbPress shortcodes?

[bobdobbs]

I want my forums to be private.

I want none of the forums, topics or posts to be viewable to anyone who isn’t logged in.

I’ve tried a plugin called “bbPress Members Only”.
However, this leaves the forum index open, and prevents non-logged-in users from seeing anything beyond the homepage: I want some pages to remain public.

Are there any plugins, or any options within bbpress itself that will let me create this level of privacy?

Hi,

So, when a user makes a comment on a forum from their (Apple – IOS) phone and uses the emoji keyboard within the comment, the emoji shows up as a ‘?’. Initially, the emoji is shown fine on the Apple phone (not on the desktop/other systems) but after refreshing the page, the emoji turns to a ‘?’.

Is there a way to fix this?

[tarabusk]

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.

[Robin W]

yes, bbpress works with 5.7.x

[carosch]

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?

Caroline

[Robin W]

there is an action hook on the forums index so

add_action ('bbp_template_before_forums_index' , 'test_bbpress');

shoul dwork

[bobdobbs]

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?
