hmmm…can only suggest that you try the basic fault finding….

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

Hi,
I am having issues overriding the css in bbpress.min.css using my child theme style.css
I have also tried the method of creating a bbpress.css in the wp-content\themes\<child-theme>\css\ folder, but that hasnt worked.

Using a parent theme and making changes in that style.css seems to work (albeit my dev server has on an older version of wordpress).

Specifically, I am trying to change the sizes of “topic type” and “topic status” dropdowns (or the font) as the text is cut off.

I’m targeting the ID #bbp_topic_status_select directly with !important and still not working.

WP version: 5.6.1
bbpress version: 2.6.6
URL: tinymatch.com.au/forums/forum/general/

In our wordpress site, our post page is set to Blog in the Homepage settings. We have recently installed bbPress and are setting have set up a forum page with the header “Community Forum”. This correctly displays the bbPress forum tree. However, when you navigate to a forum in the structure, you are directed to the Blog page which then display the forum. This is a problem because the page headers are different. We can’t figure out why this is happening or how to correct it. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I *think* I’m seeing an issue with bbPress (2.6.6) on WP 5.6.1. I’ve only seen it on mobile devices. What happens is that when you start editing a post in text mode there is no echo. If you switch to visual and back to text, the text appears. I’m wondering is this is related to the recently reported bug(s) in WP 5.6.1 involving TinyMCE or editing in general.

Anybody know any more about this, or has anyone else seen a problem with mobile device text posting on WP 5.6.1?

[Robin W]

no not bbpress, you’ll need to find what is adding it

[Ricsca2]

in the user profile I have the google + field I thought it was inserted by bbpress

[Robin W]

which field do you mean? – bbpress doesn’t store anything google+ related, in fact bbpress doesn’t store any social media fields at all – WordPress does, and it might also be your theme or another plugin adding these

[Ricsca2]

Among the user fields is Gooogle + which has not been active for a long time.
Why doesn’t bbpress take it off?

Hi

I use wordpress + bbpress

For example, i need to write a query statement(mysql) on a topic.
ex)
selectid,numberfrom tab

When an grave accent is entered, the [code] tag is automatically inserted.

ref img : https://ibb.co/9bhG177

I want it to be typed exactly as you type it.
So I want to disable the function for the code tag.

I need your help and support

Best Regards,
Hyunho

it could be a theme or plugin issue

@mc9625 what have you got set in

dashboard>settings>discussion>bbPress Topics for Posts Defaults>Create a new bbPress topic in… ?

@robin-w

I was not able to attach an image describing the issue I am facing , hence asking for same. I have managed that finally and the image is attached in thereply.

The description of this plugin reads :
===
Adds an option to the Discussion meta box to use a bbPress topic instead of WordPress comments, and displays that topic beneath the post on your site.

You can let the plugin create a new topic for you in the forum of your choice, or specify an existing topic to attach to the post.
A topic can be attached to as many posts as you’d like, but only one topic can currently be attached to a post.
====
From above my understanding is that in Discussion Metabox of a post a bbPress topic should show up, or I should be able to create a new topic. But that is not happening, though I am getting a checkbox that I have already ticked in, as shown in image I have attached.

You say :
“Topics for posts works on when you publish a topic, so can you start there.”

But when publishing a topic I see no option to attach it to an existing post. Please see image under :

——
I hope I am able to clarify. I can appreciate you have limited time. If still too cumbersome or still not clear, let us forget about this. Thanks anyways.

@robin-w

What I mean is that on activating the plugin I am seeing

when I edit a post.

However, nothing further happens – should I not get a Topic in the bbPress forums I have created with a link to the post ??

I agree with the original poster. the list of plugins leads to many outdated and unsuported so it may be good to add a filter for plugins that are usable for the latest version?

For me the bbp style pack has been the most usefull along with (thankyou Robin!) 🙂

These are the plugins i have installed so far…

bbP Signature
bbp style pack
Hide Admin Bar From Front End
Image Upload for BBPress
reCaptcha by BestWebSoft
Site Kit by Google
Smush
Super RSS Reader
WP Mail From II
WP User Avatars
Yoast SEO

Im looking for………….

Add smilies/emoticons to tinyMCE
Upload of attachments such as sound files and video to play inside a post
External Links to open in a new tab…

Nice to meet you all 🙂

Next Update Aft Feb 11, 2021.
Having looked more into the WP post table, it turns out that the post_parent value has been associated with the forum id (fid) from MyBB and as such the importer converts each of these unassociated reply entries as a new topic as it can’t create the reply association needed by BBPress that relies on replies post_parent being tied to the initial post/reply in a topic.
Based on this latest understanding I expect I am going to have to go in to the MyBB post table and manually populate the replyto column as this is not likely something that can be resolved, based on my knowledge, by changes or updates to the converter. I am going to create a duplicate install of my latest MyBB installation and test this process to see if I am correct.

[mc9625]

I would like to automatically create a topic on bbpress for every post I publish. I use different categories, so far I’ve created one forum for each category.

I’m using bbpress topics for posts plugin, but it doesn’t fit. Since it creates a post only when there’s actually a comment.

Is there any other solution to achieve that?

[Robin W]

you will be looking for

`<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_reply_admin_links’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links’ ); ?>`
in

\bbpress 2.6.6\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-reply.php

or in the bbpress templates section of your theme

and look to move that under

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_after_reply_content’ ); ?>

Don’t forget to out any changed files into a child theme to prevent them being overwritten

HI I am using bbpress with memberpress to control forum access with members.
we have two membership levels. and a different forum for each membership.
The first one set up without a hitch.

The second one was set up the same way but the access is not correct. It should say a particular member group. instead it says public. and when people are logged into memberpress and should have access the page says 404 error not found
I think my memberpress rules are set up correctly as they are identical to the settings for the forum that is working. WHat coould I be missing here?

[Mylo curtis]

i have installed bbpress , i am an administrator , i assigned the role to user moderator (the highest show role) i can only see topic and replies tab only on my WordPress dashboard

[Robin W]

there are filters for topics and replies

bbpress 2.6.6\includes\topics\functions.php lines 389 and 705

$redirect_url = apply_filters( 'bbp_new_topic_redirect_to', $redirect_url, $redirect_to, $topic_id );
$topic_url = apply_filters( 'bbp_edit_topic_redirect_to', $topic_url, $view_all, $redirect_to );

bbpress 2.6.6\includes\replies\functions.php lines 473 and 768

$reply_url = apply_filters( 'bbp_new_reply_redirect_to', $reply_url, $redirect_to, $reply_id );
$reply_url = apply_filters( 'bbp_edit_reply_redirect_to', $reply_url, $redirect_to );

which Weglot can apply query args to

[Robin W]

how are you installing bbpress ?

normally I would expect you to go into

dashboard>plugins>add new and select bbpress, install and activate

bbpress does not have ‘welcome to the bbpress installer’

[kwager01]

Hi,
My current WP configuration
– WordPress version: 5.4
– BBPress version : 2.6.6
– Website Link : https://kam-webagentur.fr

Problems encountered :
I installed WordPress but I am having a problem installing “bbpress” which I want to integrate with WordPress.

I arrive at the “Welcome to bbPress installer” installation interface
and this is the error message I get once I run the installation.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_check_invalid_utf8 () in /www/forum/bb-includes/functions.wp-core.php on line 60

What is the procedure to stop getting this error message ???
Thank you in advance…

Hi there,

Im using Weglot to translate my website. I have 12 forums. A forum for each language.

I have a serious problem, if I am viewing, for example, my website in Spanish, and I publish a new topic or respond to an open topic, my website loses the current language when I hit the send button.

I have spoken to Weglot technical support and they tell me this:

It seems that I’m not able to reach the form action that redirects to the URL with /forums/topic/title_id
There’s always a 302 redirection to the next URL and I’m not able to counter that.
I think this setup is made her > https://desa.laprairievirtualbaevent.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress
However, I’m not able to add a condition regarding the current language.
Can you maybe contact BBPress support asking them how can we add a condition regarding the current language or the current URL?

How can i fix this? Is very urgent!

[Robin W]

ok, hard to help without a link – a bit like trying to fix a car by email 🙂

try

#bbpress .post-navigation {
display : none !important ;
}

add this to your theme’s custom css
