Hello,

Some mathematical objects written in mathjax/latex use backslash (\). For example, one use \sqrt{} for the square root function, \mathbb{} for the set of numbers. In bbpress forums, these objects work perfectly but when the forums are displayed in buddypress activities streams, the backslash disappears and therefore the mathematical symbols are not rendered and make the texts difficult to read. If the texts are typed directly in buddypress side, things are also alright. So, the problem seems to be in the transition from forum to the buddypress activities.

I tried some solutions but nothing work. For example, I tried this solution: remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_content’, ‘stripslashes_deep’ ); but it did not work.
So I am asking for help; how can I do to solve the problem?

Thank you in advance

Wordpress 5.7.2
bbpress 2.6.6

Regards

For what it’s worth, I’m using MemberPress and I have to unsubscribe people from bbPress (and BuddyPress) notifications by hand when they leave. I would love to come up with a better scheme!

I’ve installed bbpress and created a set of forums.

On the forums page of my website, a linked list of forums shows… which is great.

However, I now want to alter the order in which the forums are listed.

Usually for post types, the admin screen allows a re-ordering of posts via the ‘quick edit’ link.
However, in the bbpress forums admin screens, forums don’t have the ‘quick edit’ listing.

I’ve installed and configured a couple of plugins that allow admins to re-order post types. These don’t seem to touch bbpress forums.

At a last resort I’m sure I could find a code snippet online. But I’d like to work within the CMS admin as much as I can.

Is there a way to alter the order of the bbpress forums list display without falling back to code?

I have a paid membership WordPress (5.7.2) site using bbPress. I have it set for users to be able to subscribe to forums/topics. However, when their membership expires, they are still getting email notifications of their subscriptions. How can I prevent this?

Thanks!

Hi,
My website WordPress version is 5.5.5. bbpress version 2.6.6 BuddyPress 7.3.0.
Child theme is Twenty Twenty.
BBpress language is farsi. My problem is the time of topics and repies is 4:30 off incomparision to Tehran time (It actually shows UCT instead of Tehran’s time). 3 examples:

برادرم جنسیت بچه اش رو نمیگه

دکتر معینی پزشک زنان

واکسن کرونا

When I use the bbPress forum search form, it adds it to the search form that was already there, so now there are two. I’d prefer to only have one, the bbPress one. I thought removing the one that was already there would be a WordPress problem (not a bbPress problem) because, to remove it, I could use the Disable Search plugin or the code at

https://www.wpbeginner.com/awp-tutorials/how-to-disable-the-search-feature-in-wordpress/

with Code Snippets. But, neither of those two methods worked. I couldn’t find the form that was already there at the widgets page. I also couldn’t remove it by customizing a header. I know that this might seem like more of a WordPress or theme problem, but because bbPress has the option of adding its forum search form, I thought a lot of people who use bbPress might wind up with too many forms (and bring it up at this forum). But, I couldn’t find anyone who has the same problem as me, at this forum. My site is at dancing4locations.org. There, you can see the bbPress form that I want to keep below the login form, and the form that I want to remove (which is to the left of the login form).

Thank you.

Hello,
i found a lot of old (5+ years old) posts about that topic but none of them worked from me.
We have a private bbpress-forum and we want to be able to share links for the forum.
The flow shloud be like this:

1. Visitor clicks the link.
2. If the visitor isn’t logged in he gets redirected to the loginpage (already done).
3. After loggin in he should go back to the last page (the one from the link)

What is the best way to do this?

[alloxrinfo]

I am so amazed that nobody answered you. What you were asking was very clear and i’m looking for the same thing. When you fall on the bbPress front page, if someone is not registered on your website they should be able to click on a “register” button just next to the “login” button like you can find on most websites ? How comes it’s not already there from scratch ? Still nobody for helping the others that will fall on this topic ?

Thanks !

[uksentinel]

Well WP Smush does not work with my BBPRESS Layout, removes a lot of of Forum headers visually ;-(

[jason4locations]

Should I give updates here about how debugging is going, or does the error have nothing to do with bbPress?

[Back to Front]

Hi again 🙂

I’m using the Twenty Twenty theme with bbpress.

On any single topic, the ‘next’ link of the pagination jumps to the latest topic. The ‘previous’ link is missing. On the latest topic, the ‘next’ link links to itself.

On any forum, it does the same.

On posts, it works as expected.

This is a child theme, but I get the same results with the parent theme active, and with all plugins other than bbpress deactivated.

I’ve also asked this question over at twenty twenty theme but no replies. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagination-not-working-with-bbpress-topics-replies/#post-14510051
I guess this question may have more to do with the theme than with bbpress, but perhaps I’m wrong? Do other themes pagination work as expected with bbpress forums and topics? Perhaps I could swap out twenty twenty’s pagination for that of another theme?

Do you have any clues what’s gone wrong? I think pagination is really important for the site, and the twenty twenty themes style of pagination is very visually appealing, so I’d prefer to get it working rather than delete it!~

[jason4locations]

I got back in, but then I got messages that said “There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions” whenever I clicked on Dashboard and a lot of the other things, even while using ?snippets-safe-mode=true (which I can tell you about if you’re interested). So, maybe I’m not in. I don’t know if the problem was only because of how I used the Code Snippets plugin, or if it was because of how I used it with bbPress.

Hi sorry its been a while! Been busy with other projects.

@robin-w @webmasterfreya this is what I’ve done to reverse the reply order on certain topics. And now I’ve come back to it after a month, I can’t reproduce the issue of it breaking the pagination. It seems to work as expected, without adding another function to mess with the pagination.

Install

bbPress – Sort topic replies

Remove the parts that sort the forum’s topic order, as they are causing errors, and they aren’t desired for this purpose (sorting the reply order)

// Adds meta box to the side bar of the Forums edit pages
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'bbPress_meta_box_add' );
function bbPress_meta_box_add(){
	add_meta_box( 'bbPress_meta_box_sort_desc', 'Sort Replies', 'bbPress_forum_meta_box', 'forum', 'side', 'high' );
}

and

	// Save sort settings for forum
		if( $_POST['str-bbpress-sort-replies'] == "desc" ){
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_sort_desc', 'desc');
		}elseif( $_POST['str-bbpress-sort-replies'] == "asc" ){
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_sort_desc', 'asc');
		}else{
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_sort_desc', 'dft');
		}

and

	// Save show lead settings for the forum
		if( $_POST['str-bbpress-sort-replies-show-lead-topic-forum'] == "yes" ){
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_topic_sort_show_lead_topic_forum', 'yes');
		}elseif( $_POST['str-bbpress-sort-replies-show-lead-topic-forum'] == "no" ){
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_topic_sort_show_lead_topic_forum', 'no');
		}else{
			update_post_meta($post_id, '_bbp_topic_sort_show_lead_topic_forum', 'dft');
		}

I can send the whole file if thats more useful.

Sorry I hope i’m not missing something that we noticed before? Actually my site is using threaded replies. So unfortunately it’s not using pagination, its unfortunate it can’t have both. But I turned it off to test this and it it worked.

Regarding the buddypress activity stream…
Here is an example of a member page with buddypress activity stream.
https://houseonfire.backtofrontdesign.co/members/forum_2tbmmm/
I think it also works as expected showing forum replies in the reverse chronological order.

There was a critical error on my website, and now I can’t get to the log in screen. My site is at dancing4locations.org. I’m using version 5.5.5 of WordPress, and version 2.6.6 of bbPress.

[Back to Front]

Good question. it would be nice to know if any themes – especially core themes, would be well updated to look good and be responsive with all aspects of bbpress and buddypress?

I’m using twenty twenty and there is a lot of work to make bbpress presentable to be honest.

[Back to Front]

Heres a get started guide!

Customizing

or tldr; copy the files from
plugins/bbpress
to
your-child-theme/bbpress
and edit them there!

[jason4locations]

Can things that are done with PHP usually also be done with CSS? I’m assuming the instructions given above involved PHP. The reason why I’m asking is because it seems easy to use Dashboard: Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS, but I don’t know if that would work. While PHP might be just as easy as CSS for some, CSS seems a lot easier to me.

If that isn’t possible, is there a page that describes how to do it the PHP way for beginners? That would be helpful, because I don’t know things like where to find wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php, how to create a directory, how to transfer files, whether %your-theme-name% is Twenty Twenty or if I have to give it my own name, or if doing any of the above will interfere with the bbp Style Pack plugin.

Thanks!

There are a few Image Compression Plugins such as ……

WP Smush
ShortPixel
Optimole

I am interested if any one has used or could recommend an Image Compression Plugins that works well with BBPRESS ?

Thanks

[jason4locations]

I’m new at this, so this might not be a good question. Can I use

Dashboard: Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS

to make “No Topics” go away? If not, is there an “easy” way to do it, that just involves pasting code somewhere?

I was able to make my site look nice using < li >, except for the fact that “No Topics” showed up scattered all over the page. I used < li > in one category or forum, and it effected all the others, which was good. So, now I’m trying to make “No Topics” go away.

My site is at dancing4locations.org. If you go to my site now, it doesn’t look as good as it did before, when I was using parents (with < li >). I’m using version 5.5.5 of WordPress, and version 2.6.6 of bbPress.

I’m sorry that my last post was marked as spam. It think it had to do with the fact that I didn’t put spaces between <, li, and >, and I kept on trying to edit it.

Thank you.

Hello,

Is there a way to add custom emojis for bbpress? or is there a plugin that can be used to add more emojis?

Thank you!!!

[pandex]

I want to make changes to the forum without using plugins, I want to mess with the code, but I don’t know where I get it and where to start

[jason4locations]

I made a bunch of forums using parents. But, when I go to view it, I see nothing like the rows of categories and boards that I am used to seeing with forums. Instead, I just see the name of a forum in the middle of the page. My site is at dancing4locations.org. I’m using version 5.5.5 of WordPress, and version 2.6.6 of bbPress. Thank you.

[myblackf150]

Sure Robin,
I wanted to show thumbnails on this forum, where the others don.t
There are different sized fonts. I placed a table layout so that it looked more the way I wanted to when it is on mobile.
It works across all forums but I just want it to work for my music forum.
So when the music forum is called, I don’t know if and how I can tell bbpress to use the aforementioned modified “loop-topic-list”

Thanks

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

item 6 describes what you want to know, but in essence just set the forums to ‘private’

If you need a more complicated setup, then use

Private groups

For users, if you are setting up manually, then you just need to create them in wordpress (bbpress just uses wordpress users and login), just make sure you’ve turned off auto registration in

dashboard>settings>general>membership is unticked

and that in

dashboard>settings>forums>Roles is ticked and users assigned the participant role

[Robin W]

ok, my initial suggestion would be to deactivate bbpress and see if that fixes.

After that I do the usual troubleshooting :

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
