bbPress Live Topic Suggestions

bbPress Live Topic Suggestions

I used to use WPFORO because I liked its topic suggestions, but it was difficult to make it multilingual, so I went back to BBPRESS.

This plugin hasn’t been updated in 10 years, will it ever be introduced as a core plugin for BBPRESS?

Hi, problem fixed. I am using an external plugin for registration and it was there the problem, I didn’t look at the assigned role on first login inside that plugin. On wordpress and BBPress I had it well configured.
Thank you.

I’ve just taken a look, and you are using Oshin.

Try adding this to the additioanl/custom css part of your theme

.bbpress .reply {
       position: relative !important ;
       top :0px !important;
       right : 0px !important;
}

I suspect you are using one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

I’m looking to add a creative “broken screen” effect to my bbPress forum. The idea is to make it look like the screen is cracked, either when someone first enters the forum or after performing a specific action.

I’m unsure of the best way to achieve this. Should I use custom CSS or JavaScript to create the effect? Or is there a plugin or feature in bbPress that could help with this?

Any suggestions will be very helpful for me.

Example page: Broken Screen

I’ve explored custom CSS and JavaScript options, and also checked out the following resources:

bbPress

Codex

https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Even after going through these, I’m still unsure of the best way to achieve the effect.

I’ve just installed bbPress, but after the installation, I’m getting a white screen when I try to access the forum.

Some things which I have tried so that it get fixed:

Clearing my browser cache
Disabling all plugins (except bbPress)
Checking for errors in the wp-config.php file
Reinstalling bbPress

I’ve checked these resources, but they didn’t resolve the issue:

The white screen still shows up, and I’m not getting any error messages. Has anyone else faced this issue or have any suggestions?

Hi! Thanks for your help. I tryed it but with no luck. I installed the plugin, changed the theme to the Twenty Twenty Four and deactivated all the plugins except bbpress. It didn’t work. Then I changed to my theme, did the same and the same error appears: the replies are not shown underneath the topic, but above it and overlapped.

Intenciones del foro

Any other help you can provide?
Thank you

[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 just installed bbpress on my site and I am having troubles on how the replies are being displayed. In this link you can see what I mean: https://construyendoultraciclismo.com/forum/hilo/intenciones-del-foro/
Replies don’t appear one after the other, but they overlap in the upper section of the forum.
Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to put the bbpress profile within the armember profile? The general armembers profile is better, but i want to be able to add a link to the bbpress profile, as its list of contributions us get good.

I haven’t found a way to list bbpress contributions within armember profile – i hours someone has seen a way to do that?

Is there a way to import categories from a csv file?

If not I could create the categories on wordpress with the plugin “wp alla import” and then import them on bbpress if there is a way.

I found this read with a plugin but it is old

sorry, I’m just a guy sat at home trying to help others. bbpress is a free product, but with that comes support only from the community.

I don’t do teams/zoom as I don’t have the time – sorry.

Your issue is almost certainly css related.

I suspect that you are using one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.

Bonsoir, j’ai un souci. J’ai créé un forum sur bbpress version 2.6.9 avec WordPress version 6.6.2, cependant lorsque je me rends sur le site pour voir le rendu ça affiche une page blanche. j’ai essayé de désactiver bbpress puis le réactiver mais rien n’y fait. j’utilise xampp server version 8-2-12. J’ai essayé avec les version les plus récentes à savoir bbpress 2.6.11 et wordpress 6.7.1 mais toujours rien. Aidez moi s’il vous plait!

[Robin W]

Not sure how this is related to bbpress, but go to

dashboard>settings>general and there you will see the admin email address, this is where the email will have gone to. that email will detail what the error is

[Robin W]

that will be theme dependent.

you may be able to use the function is_bbpress()

[elsoar]

PLZ.. I want to change the logo image for the bbPress forum only, not for the whole WordPress blog.

TIA

[Robin W]

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
if ($domain!='bbpress') return $translated_text ;
  $translated_text = str_replace('Forum', 'Elephant', $text) ;
return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

I’ve no idea if this thread is relevant or not

bbPress + Elementor

I am tied up in other work at the moment, but I may get back to this soon

[mastersofphotography]

I’ve also tried the following:

– Deactivating Elementor + Elementor Pro.
– Added the code in then last step on this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-elementor/
– – I’m not sure that thread is super relevant to my situation. I didn’t try putting any templates at all.

I’m also experimenting with adding a brand new WP install at /forum/, and managing the forums as a separate CMS instance.

[ocglimited]

I went to dashboard>users>all users and edited the user. I could not find any “role”, but the user is NOT a superadmin (box not checked)

I don’t see the word bbpress anywhere in the user’s settings.

[Robin W]

can’t see your screenshot, but can you go to

dashboard>users>all users and tell me what roles your username has for wordpress and bbpress

[ocglimited]

I tried disabling my SEO plugin and those filters disappeared. The only other BBpress related plugin I have is for images, so i disabled that and no change to the filters.

I suspect something is interfering with the selectors / filters appearing that would allow me to approve posts (change from pending), or make approval related buttons appear (just guessing)

Any suggestions for a fix for the above?
Or, can I turn of ALL moderation so everything is automatically approved? I could not find such a setting.

[ocglimited]

You’re right – we cross posted. I see your point about the language in the URL…so that post is visible. Maybe a bad example.

I found another post that I can NOT find in my forum! Post number 6855, and in the database the post_status is marked as “pending”. Is that a clue?

Do I have to change the status of a post from Pending to “publish”? I’m wondering if I editted a post and then it goes missing. Do I have to approve my own post change?

I’m new to bbpress so trying to figure it out…wondering if this is my own doing. How can I see posts needing approval and how do I approve them (or change from “pending’)? Is that something I can switch off, since only I create/edit posts?
