Hi Robin, thanks for the suggestion! It executes smooth scroll exactly as before on the non-bbpress pages, but unfortunately still doesn’t work on bbPress pages.

Any ideas?

[elliesatt]

I’ve implemented a smooth-scrolling snippet from GeneratePress as documented here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_smooth_scroll_elements/

The exact snippet code I use is this:

add_filter( 'generate_smooth_scroll_elements', function( $elements ) {
  $elements[] = 'a[href*="#"]:not(.wp-show-posts-read-more)';
  
  return $elements;
} );

This works for everything on my main site (blog) but does not seem to work for my bbpress forum. I’ve reached out to GeneratePress and got this response:

Hmm I’m not sure why that’s not working unfortunately.

You will need to check with bbPress’ support to see if there is anything from their plugin that’s blocking the code from being executed.

Do you have any ideas on how to solve this? Many thanks in advance!

In Setting of plugin bbPress Notify (No-Spam) Settings (v2.15.2)

On Topics tab:

bbPress Forums Subscriptions Override Override Subscriptions to Forums.

Enable this option if you want bbPress Notify (No-Spam) to handle bbPress subscriptions to Forums (new topics). The bbPress Setting “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics” must also be enabled for this to work.

Automatically subscribe new users to all forums.

Enabling this option will make it so that users get subscribed to all forums the moment that they’re registered They can unsubscribe from the forums later to stop receiving topic notifications.

bbp-style-pack has a list of plugins that people have found useful

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>other bbpress plugins

[Ricsca2]

If you want some advice, install as few plugins as possible which then you will have problems with the various updates (often most of them are abandoned).
I only install bbpress + bbp style pack and limit, if you want to provide options to your users, also buddypres.

Oh sorry, I was just looking for input on what if any plugins that users like to use with bbPress forums, rather it be adding functionality and features and so on.

Just trying to find common plugins/etc between users of bbPress.

Hope that makes sense. 🙂

[Ricsca2]

I find bbpress a great forum but it has some basic shortcomings.
For example, when a user creates or replies to a discussion, they should be automatically subscribed.
This option is very useful to keep the forum active and who is not very familiar with forum does not know of its usefulness and does not know how to activate it on bbpress.

Is there a way to activate it by default without using plugins?

[webcreations907]

Hello,

Just wanting to get user(s) input on your go to plugins when using bbPress/WordPress as your forum, this applies to anyone that would like to share.

Thanks 🙂

[Ricsca2]

Unfortunately, the importers give many problems and no one ever knows how to correct the bags.
Try converting the forum to phpbb3 and then to bbpress

Hi Communiy,

perhaps, anybody can help me: I try to convert my Xoops-Forum to WordPress bbForum. I have used the convert-script from GitHub / ntwb (https://gist.github.com/ntwb/1dde44f2f77b11136888a74d9bda4668).

The script runs thru all parts but the end of all is “nothing to convert” – see below the status-report

i use Learning management system for WordPress like Learndesh, that mean one bbpress forum with one course, the issue the email notification is send to every student and moderator.

how to let Bbpress email notification only send to forum’s relate moderator & student, not all of forum’s moderatior & student?

[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,
I am using default way to stop spam and vulgar comments on my forum by adding blacklisted word list in Settings>Discussion>Disallowed Comment Keys but issue is that it if I assume rum as bad word and if I write any word like “forum” it stops me from commenting.
Any plugin which can work with bbpress to resolve this issue and spam can also be handled.

[Robin W]

mentions is part of buddypress (or another plugin) not part of bbpress.

[Lazaro Gomez]

Hello, I have tried the import tool, I have checked that it correctly imports the topics and the answers (that’s fine) BUT, for some reason it does not do it with the users, it does not give errors, it simply does not reach that step? Does anyone know why it happens? I have checked the xenforo.php file and it keeps going correctly to the tables it should go

PS: Forums import works perfectly

[r083r7]

I should have mentioned this is a case where I have a bbPress forum linked to a BuddyPress group. I am viewing the forum inside a group.

I troubleshooted this and this is odd. The only plugins I have installed are bbPress and BuddyPress. Tried on two different default WordPress themes and getting the same thing with 2019 and 2020 theme.

Still getting the same results, I wonder if this is BuddyPress doing this hmm.

Hello,

I would like to have a text break on .bbp-author-name especially mobile devices.

I use latest version bbpress and wordpress.

Can you help?

Thanks Silke

[Robin W]

ok that is not bbpress, so what plugin is doing that ?

[ritishsharma]

Alright.
It means that users who already registered on my website doesn’t need to register for bbPress again.

But any other users or users from different wordpress website needs to.

[ritishsharma]

Yes,
I have just one little query.
Do users who already have wordpress account (not specifically on my site only), like WordPress.com users with different website, also need to register first on my bbPress forum?
