That’s the right place in the file, but the wrong edit. You would replace everything between those curly brackets with “return true;”, so it would look like this:

 function bbp_check_for_flood( $anonymous_data = false, $author_id = 0 ) {

    return true;
}

This does affect a core file in the bbpress plugin, so anytime you update you will have to make this change again.

I’ll send you an email! I have a love/hate relationship with iMember. It gave us a ton of trouble on our old host, but is working great on Synthesis WP hosting.

Having the same issue as roddaut:

Up-to-date WP install, working fine with bbpress until latest update.

New users getting the “slow down…” error message trying to post new topics of replying to existing.

Resetting the throttle to 0 seems to help temporarily, but it always reverts back to 10 seconds.

Tried deactivating all plugins and no difference.

roddaut: Which membership software are you using. We have iMember360 (aka InfusionWP)

anyone: Is there somewhere in the php files where I can set the throttle to 0 (other than in the dashboard, which isn’t sticking)?

vaantti: The throttle setting is under Settings > Forum

Thanks

Hi, I’m struggling a bit to get started with bbpress plugin dev, I’ve managed to write plugins for WP in the past thanks to the WP codex. Looking at other threads I see the advice is to look at the WP documentation or look at examples – I’ve tried both and getting a bit stuck. If anyone has some time to help me get hooked into the API it would be much appreciated – after that I should be able to start creating some cool stuff!

So my first experiment is to try and update a post within a topic. Looking at the append signature plugin I can see they use the bbp_get_topic_content filter. If I were updating “the_content” in WP I would do something like this:

function bbp_topic_content_append_text( $content = '') { 
            $content = $content . 'SOME_TEST_TEXT';

                    return $content;
    }

    add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_topic_content_append_text');

But this doesn’t do anything when I load a topic? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks 🙂

I’m trying to change the pagination to Next and Prev

In plugins -> bbpress -> bbp-includes.php -> bbp-reply-template.php

I have found that you can replace
‘prev_text’ => ‘←’,
‘next_text’ => ‘→’,
with
‘prev_text’ => ‘Prev;’,
‘next_text’ => ‘Next’,

I know you’re not meant to hack the core, so how do I do this in my own theme?

Using WordPress 3.4.1, bbPress 2.1.2 and my forums are a current work-in-progress at http://netballscoop.com/forums/

[spunkygidget]

me too! I’m a ux designer, and can’t find a suitable theme after installing based on loving the UX of this demo forum! would LOVE to be able to use the theme of bbpress.org, and believe it would do wonders to continue to propagate the use of the system!

I installed the standalone version of bbpress here. The install file is physically located on http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php. When I navigate to that link, I get this error:

“The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.”

I tried installing bbpress as a WordPress plugin, but that didn’t work either. Basically, 1) I activated the plugin from my WordPress site, 2) created a forum from the admin panel, 3) activated the ‘bbpress’ theme which looks like twentyten. Then when I went to the main homepage, there was no actual way to get to the forum except from a direct link as there was no way to create a menu option for it. I am honestly very confused on how to get bbpress to actually work. My company is on my back about it. Thanks for any help!

thanks for the help

[ickzorn]

You mean via DNS redirecting?

[SK]

Just point forum.xxx.com to http://www.xxx.com/forum

[ickzorn]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to install bbPress on another subdomain:
1. WordPress domain: blog.xxx.com
2. bbPress domain: forum.xxx.com
Wordpress should be able to manage the bbPress installation.

I’ve been searching around for a while, found a few threads, started a few years ago and wondering if there is now a new way to integrate that feature?

Thanks for help.

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress 2.1 includes a conversion tool to import forums/topics/replies/users from some of the popular forum packages eg. bbPress or phpBB

There is an ‘example’ file also included as a ‘reference template’ that if your forum software is using a SQL database then you could easily modify this to be a custom importer by matching the correct database tables/fields etc

The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters

[Beta2012]

Hi, thanks a lot for your great effort on this project!

I got some problem after a new installation via /wp-admin/

Version: bbpress WP plugin 2.1.2
MySQL version: 5.1.63-cll
Apache version: 2.2.22
PHP version: 5.3.15

when I open bbp forum it shows:
Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in/ABC.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in/*******.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php on line 1868 on line 1868

I searched but can’t get a solution, would you kindly help to fix please?

Thanks in advance!

I already searched this forum and quite a few people had a similar problem about 6 months ago. My case is a bit different though.

I’m running the latest version of bbPress on the latest version of WordPress.

The created forums are all open and public.

When I as an admin user create new topics in any forum, I get the following result on any of these forum pages:

> This forum contains X topics, and was last updated by Admin Y hour,
> Z minutes ago.
>
> Oh bother! No topics were found here!

The topics list simply does not show up for me as a creator of these topics. When logged in as a subscriber, everything shows fine though.

My list of plugins is:

bbPress, Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, Manage Upload Types, Polylang, User Access Manager, WordPress HTTPS, wp-jquery-lightbox, wpsc Support Tickets, WP SlimStat

The used theme is:

EvoLve by Theme4Press

[Pippin Williamson]

The plugin is on the repo now: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-mark-as-read/

If you visit your forums profile, you will see a section showing unread forum posts, and below the box is a link to “Mark all topics as read”.

I have a donate link on my site: http://pippinsplugins.com/support-the-site

[jeeni]

Oh, thanks! I actually had happened upon that repository page but disregarded trying it out because I thought it was a clone/another instance of this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-mark-as-read/

It would be crazy to have to mark all the threads as read. I like that you have built in automatic recognition of someone reading a thread by visiting it more than a few moments. I’ll load it and give it a whirl.

Where to donate if this is just what I need?

[Anna Meurer]

Hi everybody,

I would like to transfer my forum (http://mesaboogie-forum.de) to bbPress. The problem is: I have no idea, how I should do this. The unb forum has no export plugin/function. The only thing I can do, is a db dump.

So, does anybody has an idea, how I can do this?

Thanx for any hint!
Achim

[ninjaface]

On bbpress.com it shows a small avatar under each thread showing who it was started by, then it also displays one for the person who replies. How would I accomplish this on my bbpress installation?

[terri.swiatek@yahoo.com]

I am using Salutation as well as of 9/2012, maybe it’s a theme problem? But they always just say it’s a bbPress or Buddypress problem.

I’m using BuddyPress Version 1.6.1 and bbPress Version 2.1.2 I am using Sitewide Forums

I can create Groups and Topics but the Topics don’t appear on the site. What’s strange is it shows the count of Topics in the Forum and is putting the occupied space in the layout but they are not displayed.

If anyone can help me figure it out I’d be very grateful.

Also, the Search box for the Forums and the Order by: Dropdown menu when used don’t display any results when I know there should be items listed there.
Any Ideas?

I’ve released a brand new bbPress Plugin called “String Swap” where you can easily change a few breadcrumb parameters as well as some other strings for the frontend (Forum Archive Title, some Breadcrumbs parameters, User Roles Display, plus a few Forum strings).

You can check it out here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/

After installing/activating, look on the bbPress Settings page where there is a new section then 🙂

Any feedback is much appreciated! 🙂 Thank you!

Hope this helps some users 🙂

I am having a similar problem. I am registering bbpress users based on their FB information which i get from our other site. These users have FB ids as their usernames for uniqueness. However their profiles throw a 404, while the admin profile works fine.

Will be interested in seeing if a solution is found to your issue….

[goddess_dix]

Thanks so much for all the work on this! My first bbPress, as the plugin makes it more accessible.

Having an issue with the Fancy Editor. One of my plugins (WP-Amazon) is forcing a button onto the editor for shortcodes. Since the shortcode is turned off and the button breaks the layout, is there a way to force it not to display on forum pages?

I realize this is plugin specific but my thinking is that it can’t be the only rogue plugin, so if there’s a reasonably easy way of suppressing a particular button, it could help others. Thanks for any suggestions you may offer.

[bradsucks]

I want to override the bbPress page I get when I go to mysite.com/forums/ with a WordPress page containing bbPress shortcodes but I haven’t been able to get it to work.

• My WP page slug is ‘forums’ and contains:
  [bbp-topic-index]
  [bbp-topic-form]

• In my bbPress settings my ‘forums base’ is set to ‘forums’.

I’ve tried a bunch of other things (like setting the WP page template to ‘bbPress – Forums (Index)’ and deleting archive-forums.php in my theme. Nothing seems to work.

Also if I change the the page slug & permalink to ‘forums2’ and visit that, it works as intended.

Any ideas? I’m thinking about an .htaccess workaround but that seems excessively hacky. Thanks.

[smiga]

Ok, I keep fingers crossed that some day replay tracking will be implemented in bbpress core or as separate plugin, until that I keep sitting on standalone 1.x forum version. 🙂
