Thanks Robin. I have LocoTranslate and PolyLang already installed.

The .po and .mo translation files are already loaded for bbPress in the system directory.

However I need a way for bbPress to pick them up.

[Marisa]

bbPress has been translated into many languages. See https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/

Is there a cookie I can set to make bbPress dynamically switch from say the English language to the French language?

I have a website in several different languages.

Hi, I am using the bbPress integration with BuddyPress, so that when new BuddyPress groups are created, their respective associated forum is also created. I would like these forums to already have some topics created by default (such as rules, general chat, …), so that the user does not have to create them manually. Although the user can create more topics later, but I would like the forum to already include some topics by default when the group is created. Is it possible to achieve this? Thanks.

[Robin W]

ok, all I can suggest is the standard fault finding…

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

If you look on the linked page and see a big white block, the oEmbed on my site isn’t working (when someone makes a post in bbPress, it automatically embeds it as shown on the page, but the link doesn’t work). Everything looks right, but the link doesn’t work. I can’t figure out what I can do to fix it or disable it. I’ve turned to a friend who knows how to code (I don’t) and she said that her bbPress installation has the same issue.

Here’s a page with an example:

Kirk Hunter Farewell Sale

Thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

sounds like there is something that bbpress is seeing as an error or not filled in field.

My suggestion would be to get a screenshot of the fields he has completed (and any he hasn’t) and try the exact entry the is trying to create.

I’d also get him to try posting a test topic with something simple in another forum, or posting a reply to see if it is him, or what he is posting that is the issue

[Manaus]

A forum user notified me that he cannot post a new topic. He writes the the title, the post body, the tags, and then on clicking on ‘send’ the page gets refreshed on the topics list view, and at the bottom he can still view the post contents still in the form, with the form prefilled with the data already entered.

His role is participant, and for the sake of testing I faked a participant role to check if the role was blocked. It is not. I managed to post a new toping without hassle.
The Forum is open.

Where or how can I get more details about the process? What’s blocking, or what errors are returned, maybe they are hidden. Any suggestion?

Hello
I use Block FSE theme in my site anfdactivate BBPress in it.
so, How can I change the default font family of Visual Editor and style it?

[WPabmm]

Have done so

Considering there is some team overlap and proof of concept with bbPress I think it is worth mentioning it here too

[WPabmm]

This is an old topic yet it appears resolved on bbPress.

Is this something that could be done for BuddyPress and Markdown?

Hi there we are trying to make BBPress work on our site, http://www.adventurecountrytracks.com we use Memberpress and Elemntor, unfortunately, we cannot finish the design work, even though we have used some of the hints we could find online.
we use current versions all updated.
even if we can make the front forum page to work, the topics and all sites below arnt adjusted.
it would be great if we can get help…

thanks and cheers.

But here we are not talking about adding new functions to bbpress …. simply that bbpress inherits the style of the theme used as all other plugins do. Now I do not know how to program but I do not think it is a complicated modification / update to do. How is it possible that a component that has more than 100,000 active installations and that is the component used to support bbpress.org which has millions of threads and posts, in 2024 is considered a plugin of little value and with hundreds of wordpress employees does not do this small update.

[Ricsca2]

bbpress is the official wordpress plugin and is the one used on bbpress.org as well as being used by thousands of sites.
I’m talking about inheriting at least the font size of the theme in which it is used, nothing exceptional…

[Robin W]

not quite, WordPress exists because Automatic who own WordPress run wordpress.com which as a hoster generates income which helps pay for WordPress development. Other contributors to WordPress include wordfence who make money from selling protection to companies.

bbpress has no sponsors at the moment

[Ricsca2]

According to this reasoning wordpress should not exist then.
Here I am not asking for customizations to bbpress. simply that bbpress inherits the theme style, that is, inherits the font size. Buddypress does this so it is absurd that bbpress does not do it.

[Robin W]

basic economics –

You using bbpress generates no income for anyone.

bbpress is a wordpress product, so someone has to sponsor a coder to code stuff, ie someone has to pay for this, and unless there is a reason for this, it doesn’t happen.

[Ricsca2]

I don’t understand how it is possible that bbpress in 2024 does not inherit the theme style! Buddypress inherits the theme style so it is even more absurd that bbpress does not inherit it.
Here we are not talking about new features but simply an obvious thing that should have by default.

I don’t have BuddyBoss installed. bbPress provides integration code that injects the “Forum” tab inside the group creation process. Normally:

add_filter( 'groups_create_group_steps', function ( $steps ) {
    unset( $steps['forum'] );
    return $steps;
} );

or something of that sort would have solved the issue. I was wondering of bbPress injects the tab in a different way.

I would appreciate if you could forward that to one of the devs, since you are a Mod, Robin, otherwise, thanks for the help.

[Robin W]

But the integration code resides inside bbPress– not sure what you mean – the filters you quote are all buddypress or possibly buddyboss

[George]

But the integration code resides inside bbPress. If it was core BuddyPress filters, it would be much simpler, don’t you think?

[Robin W]

bbpress uses custom post types, and database entries for linking replies to topics.

It is unlikely that the plugin will take account of these.

I do not know how that plugin works, but if you are importing to a clean site (ie one with no posts/pages/or other entries, then running the following repair may just fix.

dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run on at a time

[Robin W]

ok, so that tells you that the error is in your theme ‘enterprise pro’ – in essence they are using a function that only exists if bbpress is active, so first of all see if there is a setting you need to change if you are NOT using bbpress.

Otherwise contact the theme authors for help.

Hi!
I’m trying to desactivate and delete bbpress because I don’t need at the moment.
But I can’t do it! If I try my website is down.
I remove all the bbdd information: tools – forum – reset forums.

Anybody know what it’s happening?

Thanks

[victorecoone]

UPDATE

Hello, thank you very much Robin. I used the diagnosis mode and could find that the plugin Polylang was conflincting with bbpress. I just had to configure it well and now everything works fine.
