Hi there, my issue is similar to this, but maybe you can enlighten me.
I’m using bbPress for the forum on my site.
On the front end, users should be able to submit a topic on a forum, when they try, they get a “A name is required for this term.” error, I have already reset the forum, but still has the same thing.
Also the despite that message, the topic will appear in the WP admin dashboard under Topics, but will never show in the forum on the front end, I would like the topic created by users on the front end to appear immediately in the front end as well, any idea of code I can add to the functions.php of the theme or anything I can do ?
‘A name is required for this term’ is not a bbpress error.
Is this site in English, or have you translated it ?
Hi Team,
We’ve linked the login page on the header of our site. But once the user logs in, we wanted to hide the Login/Register page link and instead show then the Account page link.
How it can be done?
PS – We’ve already setup a bbpress login widget which does this job, but in mobile view the user has to scroll down to see the widget. So we’ve placed the page link in the header.
Please let us know the proper solution for this issue.
Hi there, @gloriajameson!
What exactly info was missing about BP Better Messages plugin?
Btw BP Better Messages plugin insert send PM link to the bbpress automatically.
Thanks!
Hi. Newbie here. Working with a bunch of retirees. We have a website (larcAlumni.org) that uses WordPress (5.7.2). I thought using a forum would simply our communication and keep records as well.
We had bbPress plugin, but it was deactivated. When I activated it, I did not get intro screen nor did I get Forum menu item. I do get Topics and Replies menu items. I deactivated all other plugins, reactivated and reinstalled, no change. I ran Troubleshoot and got a critical error.
DIVI is installed with a basic, blank theme.
Any suggestions what I might try next?
Thanks for help, Dan
Thanks for your code. It has been so long now when I asked this that i am reluctant to start fiddling with my setup.
I prefer to continue to wait until such a time and bbPress is updated rather than add bits of code to my functions file.
At the moment what I have works for me due to the bsp settings that were added some time back.
Thank you for the code though.
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
Home
WordPress Version 5.7.2
BBPress Version 2.6.6
When I go to the forum on the front end, try to create a topic, first I get “A name is required for this term.”, then the created topic does not show on the user’s front end, only shows in the Admin backend.
Can you please advise what might be the issue here?
Thanks
I need to make a new flexible bbpress site. Which path to take?
1.Buy a ready-made theme? There will be difficulties with individual design.
2.Get a page builder? Do they work correctly with bbpress? Are the pages slow and heavy?
3.Use the built-in Gutenberg editor along with a couple plug-ins – how does Gutenberg work with bbpress?
4.Developing an underline theme? – but that’s quite a long time for me. (or not? this method is unfamiliar to me)
Which modern way to choose – who studied this question?
I have been using bbPress Messages By Samuel Elh but suddenly discovered it isn’t actually working any more. More research suggests it hasn’t been updated for four years. I am guessing it is discontinued, or maybe replaced by something else.
Can anybody suggest or recommend an alternative? I can’t find anything when searching the available plugins.
Thanks,
John
@gloriajameson you are now well beyond any support for bbpress!!!
And into wordpress and the plugin you are using.
I have no idea if that plugin stores uploads as WordPress media images, or in a separate folder, and indeed whether it makes multiple copies. I have no knowledge either of compressor, there are other compression plugins, but as I say not in my area to recommend or indeed say whether they would work.
My personal general view would be that letting users exchange images privately, whilst leaving copies on your website sounds dangerous as without looking as each image you have no idea what images are being sent, thus leaving you open to possible action such as copyright, reputation damage though say pornography or indeed criminal action against you – eg in the UK holding bomb making instructions makes you liable to be sent to prison. Depends on how much you want to trust your users 🙂
This appears to be a paid theme, so i have no access to it.
I suggest you try
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
item 8
I can’t say for sure as I’ve not used that plugin.
But bbpress and worpdress have lots of capabilities to put code where you wish, so
1. exactly where do you want it to go?
2. Do you know how to do a button linking to the page?
I also have this downloaded, but cannot seem to find where the options are.
bbPress – Moderation Tools
Yes I am also using ultimate member pro plugin with bbpress
ok, but that’s not a default bbpress response, so have you a plugin doing this?
Hi Robin,
The BBpress Messages plugin you mentioned isn’t appearing when I search for the plug-in in WP control panel. Alternatively, clicking through on the link you gave I found this, perhaps this is why it’s not appearing:
This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.
How about this one, perhaps it’s a newer version? It pops up right away on the control panel:
BP Better Messages
Anyone who can answer me? from Vbulletin 4 to bbpress reloads me infinitely step 8!
How can I disable step 8?
Hello,
my site has 3 forums. We would like two of the forums to allow replies to topics to post automatically which is happening now. However, on one of the forums we’d like all replies to topics to be required to be approved by a specific keymaster.
Is this possible?
We are using bbpress on wordpress with the plugin ultimate member pro.
This still works as far as I know
bbPress Notifications
it it is not perfect, the code wold get you most of the way to what you want
Ran through a seemingly easy migration from phpBB v3.18 (php v7.3.23) into a new install of bbPress v2.6.6 and I’m immediately drawn to the fact that no attachments made it over. There are images showing from online services, but nothing that was directly attached to a post.
Wondering if perhaps bbPress is looking for these in a certain spot and they’re located elsewhere (different table, etc).
Can point me in the right direction to confirming this or somehow begin troubleshooting?
Many thanks!!
Mark
Dear @robin,
thanks for your response. it is very helpful.
when i disabled the theme and use the default, the bbpress worked
Wordpress is free software, as is bbpress 🙂
Some lunches are free, but yes you should add plugins with some thought.
There are tens of thousands of themes, and tens of thousands of plugins. It would be impossible to test every combination. I can’t say that bbpress has been tested with Avada !!
As long as both theme and plugin adhere to basic standards, then it is likely that they will work together.
The plugin is a subset of code from within buddypress, so if you have buddypress you don’t need the plugin.
