From your description that sounds like what bbpress does 🙂

Can you explain further ?

[Robin W]

if it didn’t work in style pack there are 3 reasons

code error so does not work
wrong element targeted
something else is overwriting

1st looks ok
second could be the issue

so let’s try 3rd to check, so add this

#bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper h2.entry-title {display: none !important;}

[Robin W]

These fields are in a bbpress template so you need to amend that

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

remove

<p>
<label for=”bbp_anonymous_website”><?php esc_html_e( ‘Website:’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?></label><br />
<input type=”text” id=”bbp_anonymous_website” value=”<?php bbp_author_url(); ?>” size=”40″ maxlength=”200″ name=”bbp_anonymous_website” />
</p>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

I think this plugin should fix bbPress and the Hello Elementor theme issues – but feedback would be appreciated

I am trying to remove the name of the forum on the index page that lists all the topics. I used CSS to remove it but it’s not working right.

#bbpress-forums h2 {
display: none;
}

This removes the title as I want but when I click on any topic it also removes the posters question 🙁

Does anybody know how to remove just the forum name?

[tw2021]

Thanks, Jing. Yeah initially had the plugin and it works but i ended up with so many bbpress plugins so thought maybe the bb style pack could achieve the same thing than i dont need the extra notify plugin. But i guess maybe i will just have to use it then 🙂 Thanks

Hola!
Someone knows the full code for bbpress – remove the site field in anonymous form?

I’ve tried something like this (for the whole WP) but it doesn’t work

 function remove_url_from_comments($fields) {
    unset($fields['url']);
    return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields', 'remove_url_from_comments');

Thank!

Check this out. We use plugin. It is terrific. It appears to do exactly what you are looking for.

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

[tw2021]

HI
I got a code that i would like to hide thee username. For e.g when someone click on the profile member from the post in forum, it will bring to the profile page

#bbpress-forums #bbp-user-wrapper h2.entry-title {display: none;}

I have got the bbstyle pack and i entered the code above in the css customization but its not working. Is there a place I can insert the code above?
thanks

[cassel]

I tried that extra plugin made by Robin, and it worked fine. I was very happy, EXCEPT it won’t let the images display anymore (images uploaded using bbPress Multi Image Uploader).

Is any tweak possible to benefit from both features?

Hi, We need some help!

We have created am API to create a new topic or post a reply. And trigger a notification when the topic is created or the reply is successfully posted.

The topic is created successfully and the reply is posted without problem. However, the notification is not triggered.

It appears that our REST API has the correct endpoints which made it to post bbPress topics/replies.

But this happens (topic/reply creation) on “WordPress level” rather than bbPress level.

Does anyone have any insights or tips on how to trigger the notification at the bbPress level?

Thank you so much!

Jing

I have added this as a feature request for my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin. Plugin already has a function and widget for various statistical information, and these subscription/favorites based counts would be interesting to have too.

Notification via email is sent when someone is subscribed to a forum or topic. If user is subscribed to forum, he will get email for every new topic in that forum. User subscribed to topic will get email for every new reply in that topic.

When i deactivated Ultimate Member – bbPress which Integrates Ultimate Member with bbPress the problem solved. Now i am wondering if user will syn between ultimate member an bbpress.
Thanks for the help once again.

[pkull]

My solution was deleting bbPress and installing wpforo. Works great and looks better too.

[Jens]

Is there a plugin (or another way) to find out about the subscriptons in bbPress? The shortcode [bbp-stats] doesn´t help and statistic plugins seem to be closed. Any idea where to look in the database?

[Robin W]

either

bbPress WP Tweaks

or

How to Add WordPress Conditional Content to Sidebar Widgets

and use the logic

is_bbpress()

[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 there,

Is it possible to use the forum title rather than the forum id when using shortcode to display the forum? In my website I am using a plugin which has virtual pages and I would like the user to search for the title of the forum they want and then it to be displayed – by means of shortcode.

Just in case, I would like to add that duplicate naming of the fourms would not be an issue in my website (it is not possible for the user to create a fourm with the same name).

Also, is there a way in which I am able to query the forum index? If so, am I able to check if a forum with this name (used in the query) already exists? If it doesn’t I would like the user to be able to start it, is this also possible?

WordPress version 5.6.2
bbPress version 2.6.6

Thanks in advance!

[sharpsagen]

Running 5.6.2 WordPress. Using Divi theme. Version 2.6.6 bbpress. While the Main forum page: https://crown50reunion.org/forum/ is using sidbar 2, the discussion page: https://crown50reunion.org/forums/forum/general-discussion/ adds the general sidebar. How can I change this?

hi

@robin-w

You seem to inspire me

install plug in Custom Post Type Permalinks instead of bbPress Permalinks with ID

and the problem i had was resolved.

Custom Post Type Permalinks

This plugin is constantly updated and nice

Thanks~!

[thodoris7]

Hi again,
I get 404 error when i am using bbpress functions as bbp_user_topics_created_url(6), 6 is the user id.
I am using ultimate member with integration plugin for bbpress in multisite instalation.

Thanks in advance.

[purityboy83]

Hi @robin-w

I am now “https://site.com/forums/topic/23716&#8221; In use as a format

bbPress Permalinks with ID <—
After disabling (or deleting) this plugin,
is there a way to use the Permalinks address as above?

Best Regards,
Hyunho

[Robin W]

‘Oops! That embed can’t be found’ is not a bbpress error, it’s a wordpress one.

but looking at the link below, I’d suggest it is related to your permalinks, and maybe the fact that you are using ID’s and a plugin for that

Hello everyone.

I do realize that Nick’s question was topical more than 6 years ago, but still want to share one more way of moving phpBB content over to bbPress. Probably, someone will find it useful.

I personally always try to avoid manual actions, because there’s a risk to miss something important, moreover, if a forum is scalable.

That’s why I do suggest going the automated migration route and use forum migration service for that.
Here’s what I found – https://cms2cms.com/cms/supported-cms/phpbb-to-bb-press-migration/. Quite naturally, that the migration will need some custom edits, but I do know that the cms2cms tech team can investigate any migration case and do some additional settings.

According to the video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sobBd64J_ro it really looks quite simple. At least, Free Demo is worth trying, I guess.
