Hi, my first time posting here.

I’ve installed bbpress on a website with member protected pages and was only able to hide the forums by setting them to private.

Using Divi, I have created 2 different top navigation menus that display for different page groups – members or public.

The bbpress forum index and pages are not WP pages that can be edited like regular pages, so I am wondering how to edit them. Mainly, the edits I’d like to make are removing the right sidebar and setting the menu to the member’s only menu.

What if I wanted to add/remove other content from the forum pages where do I do this?

Thanks

Hi,

is there a way to change the text of the subscription button? Currently it says ‘Subscribe’ and ‘Unsubscribe’ and I would like to change to ‘Watch’ and ‘Unwatch’ respectively. I believe the code that can change this is within the file \bbpress\includes\topics\template.php lines 1781 and 1782. I could change them in here but I would rather change them via my child theme if this is possible?

Thanks!

Hi, I used the JetEngine Profile Builder to create some custom fields that I want to use in my discussion boards. They are both stored in the User Settings post type. one is a text field (neighborhood) and the other is a media field (profile-picture).
I would like for the neighborhood meta field to appear after the user name when they post and would like the profile-picture to show up where their avatar is.
Is there a way or a plug-in that would achieve this? I tried BBP Profile Information, but there does not seem to be a way to map or link my custom fields.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Defoult bbpress has imposatto to show the root of the forum but from setting you can decide whether to use the prefix or not and there is a warning that indicates that it is recommended.
Have forums / forums / topics etc. it’s a bit ugly. Forums can also be renamed.
What should I do?
Thank you

if you are no longer using bbpress, then yes you can delete these manually from the database.

bbpress may additionally have some settings stored in wp_options table, again these will all have bbp in their name.

We used to have an old version of bbPress on our website, which was uninstalled years ago. I’ve recently noticed some meta keys starting with “_bbp_” in the wp_postmeta table like these:
_bbp_last_active_time
_bbp_forum_subforum_count
_bbp_reply_count
_bbp_total_reply_count
_bbp_akismet_error
_bbp_akismet_history
_bbp_akismet_as_submitted
_bbp_akismet_user_result
_bbp_akismet_user

I believe these are all bbPress-related data. Is it okay to manually remove these from the database? Does bbPress store data in other core WP tables?

[Robin W]

the wordpress moderation applies to bbpress posts as well

[Robin W]

and have you worked through

Before Posting

[Robin W]

no, this is the bbress support forum 🙂

I help out here, occasionally the authors pitch in but rarely.

But without a site, it is hard to say what your problem is, there are 300,000 installations of bbpress, so if the default didn’t show it would be a well known problem.

Clearly something on your site is preventing the display, but at the moment you are asking me to tell you what is wrong with your automobile by posting a picture of the engine 🙂

[Dave Stevens]

Sorry, I thought you were BBPress support. DO they have another method of contact? I appreciate you trying to troubleshoot with me though

[Dave Stevens]

The website is live, but the forum is not yet being used.

I tested it with Twenty-Twenty and Twenty-Nineteen get the same results. I am using the Kadence theme and have used it in the past with BBPress.

If you go to one of the forums it shows up. But if you try and view all of them they don’t show up.

Hello
Somehow I had added an extra comma after each subforum name. Where do I fix that please?
On my forum homepage, I have subforums listed, however with some tweaking I managed to add an extra “,” comma after each subforum name. I had been looking all over the pages ( includes ) and bbpress pages aliek and I can’t seem to find them. Please be so kind to let me know where I may fix that?
Thank you in advance.

Version 2.6.6

[cassel]

Where do I set it to allow shortcodes to show inside bbpress posts?

[Robin W]

hmm… 300,000 sites use bbpress and I’ve not seen profiles being restricted by password on any site running a default theme and bbpress.

are you using

bbPress Genesis Extend

[nayanboost]

I have contacted the hosting. They are saying it is something to do with bbpress !!!!

[Robin W]

might be staging site related, but it’s not bbpress doing this.

suggest you contact your hoster to see if they can help

[nayanboost]

I have disabled all the plugins except bbpress and switched the theme to twentytwenty but still it is showing the same.

https://stagemcgil.wpengine.com/discussion/ is the page where you can find the forum and please try checking one user profile.

[Robin W]

I’d suspect that your theme has had an update then.

As this is a paid theme, I’d suggest you raise it with the theme authors first.

If you want to check you can

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

Hello,

I am facing an issue, which is strange to me.

I am getting my user profile page protected with a password!!!! I don’t know how this happened. How can I remove the password protection from the user profile page?

Regards,
Nayan

[Robin W]

As I say I don’t plan to change how the default works – you can change that for your site, and yes it does not apply retrospectively

‘I also wanted to ask if there is a way to update that field in forum topics when editing in admin.’
yes just edit the topic.

‘leave a comment’ is part of the comment form, and that is disabled when topics for posts shows. You can add that back on dashboard>settings>discussion>bbPress Topics for Posts Strings>Link text

[ritishsharma]

Users/participants are unable to Edit their post after posting, Even though I already enabled ‘can edit the post in 30 minutes after posting’.
But they are unable to Edit, it shows the message that they have no permission to edit this.

Does anybody know how can I troubleshoot this?

[Julia]

You can customze two file form-reply.php and form-topic.php .

bbress> templates > default > form-topic.php at line 170

<input name="bbp_topic_subscription" id="bbp_topic_subscription" type="checkbox" value="bbp_subscribe" <?php bbp_form_topic_subscribed(); ?> />
↓
<input name="bbp_topic_subscription" id="bbp_topic_subscription" type="checkbox"checked value="bbp_subscribe" <?php bbp_form_topic_subscribed(); ?> />

bbress> templates > default > form-reply.php at line 104

<input name="bbp_topic_subscription" id="bbp_topic_subscription" type="checkbox" value="bbp_subscribe"<?php bbp_form_topic_subscribed(); ?> />
↓
<input name="bbp_topic_subscription" id="bbp_topic_subscription" type="checkbox"checked value="bbp_subscribe"<?php bbp_form_topic_subscribed(); ?> />

Then the topic and reply are automatically subscribed simply.
But the participant can uncheck the checkbox about subscription by himself.
If you do not want participant uncheck the checkbox, you can delete checkbox by CSS.

Put these customized files in your child theme’s folder-bbpress.

just given screenshots, impossible to help

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Then come back

you’ll find the filter in

lines 473 and 768

Hi Guys, If someone is still having problems importing data due to looped ‘Converting anonymous topic authors’ AND if you don’t need anonymous topic authors at all then I found a solution (in my case: bbPress 2.6.6 importing from PHPbb)

1) find this file: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/classes/class-bbp-converter.php
2) TAKE A BACKUP
3) Replace the content of the file with this: https://pastebin.com/cRGQiLWs
4) Save and enjoy.

Please remember, this will ignore anonymous topic authors so only use this solution if you don’t need them.

I hope I could help. David
