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

I am now “https://site.com/forums/topic/23716” 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

‘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.

Hi,
I have added Words which are not allowed in the replies of forum in my Settings>Discussions>Disallowed Comment Keys and once I enter any of these words in replies of any of my forums posts an error is shown Your reply cannot be created at this time.

Basically I want to customize the error and change it to my custom error which can be seen by user, I tried many ways like overwriting it by using hooks in my theme php file but not succeeded.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi

If add a link to “topic and reply”, the embed function does not work.

ref img
https://ibb.co/qxXG125

site.com is an example for screenshots.
I entered the actual URL

error error embed
Oops! That embed can’t be found

ref img
https://ibb.co/grXr9dV

It was a site that has been without problems for months.
I just discovered it by accident.

The same is happening at the internal test site.

I installed the “Health Check & Troubleshooting” plug-in from the test site
and activated the Troubleshooting mode.

and only 2 plugin activate
– bbPress
– bbPress Permalinks with ID

The problem still occurs.
It’s a well-used feature, site, but suddenly a problem arises and I’m confused.

I must need to help

Hi all, thanks in advance for any help. I have set up a members only page on my website – http://scaleupgroup.co/members/. This page is restricted using Memberpress. I have also set up bbpress and set the root forum index to http://scaleupgroup.co/members/forums. However, this forums page is not protected by Memberpress as it is an archive page built by bbpress.

Can anyone help me set the forums archive page (in this case – http://scaleupgroup.co/members/forums) parent page to be http://scaleupgroup.co/members?

Thank you

Hi

I want the thumbnail to appear on the topic
Search results found a plugin similar to the function I’m hoping for

bbpress-topic-thumbnails
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-topic-thumbnails/

I want to add one more feature in this plugin.
With this plugin, thumbnails of all forum topics are displayed

I only want to use this feature for 1 specific forum
reason for write topic is because the plugin has not been updated for a long time.

So I ask for help here

code is

/*Hooks into the loop-topic.php output to print image*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'bee_insert_thumbnail' );
function bee_insert_thumbnail() {

        if((!bee_catch_image() == '')){
        echo('<a href="'); 
    echo(bbp_topic_permalink() . '"><img class="bbp-topic-thumbnail"  width="100%" style="max-width: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_w') . 'px; max-height: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_h'). 'px; vertical-align:middle;" src="' . bee_catch_image() . '"/>' .'</a>');
        }
}

/*Function that retrieves the first image associated with the topic*/
function bee_catch_image() {
  global $post, $posts;
  $first_img = '';
  ob_start();
  ob_end_clean();
  $output = preg_match_all('/<img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
  $first_img = $matches [1] [0];
  return $first_img;
}

Anyone can help?
Thanks

the comments part of bbpress is not very nice.

you are presuming that what your site shows is the same as everyone else’s – can you explain what you mean?

my test site shows what I would expect

[Ricsca2]

I noticed something else that could be improved.
When users are not logged in, the comments part of bbpress is not very nice.

I am trying to create a custom role that can only reply to existing topics.

I followed this to create new role. At first, the role did appear in dropdown list in admin edit user screen, but after saving, it went back to “— No role for these forums —”.

I found this thread, so.. I created custom WordPress role in the same name. This made the bbPress role to be “saved” but it doesn’t seem to add capabilities. The user with this role can’t see forum or topics.

How can I get this custom bbPress user role to have custom capability?

[Robin W]

basic system is fine – the issue is either site specific or words lost in translation between us 🙂

there are over 300,000 installations of bbpress – if breadcrumbs didn’t work, we’d know about it 🙂

But I’m glad you are fixed 🙂

[einar2507]

That saved my day. Now its working properly. There must be something wrong with the bbPress basic system?
Thank you so much for your endless patience with me!!!
