We have a venue that has a wordpress/bbpress integration. In the past when a user signed up to the site in the woocommerce side, they weren’t assigned a forum role/rights until they actually logged into the forum. Is this something that was changed in an update to bbpress and is it customizable?

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so any wordpress login popup will log them into bbpress as well.

Lots of WP login plugins around, so yes find one that suits you

Hello, I just noticed that as admin I was unsubscribed from all forums. I don’t know when this happened as I just happened to check a forum and noticed a post that was several weeks old for which I hadn’t received a notification. So I checked all the forums and saw that I had been unsubscribed from them as well. Any idea what caused this, so that I can know whether to expect it to happen again? Thanks!

bbp has its own (WordPress) login/logout-register part. Using that, the WordPress settings for that are used. I don’t like it. Deactivating it and using a plugin where I can modify the popup windows (layout, size) would be an option. (Which plugin would work fine together with bbp?).
But is the also an ‘in-between’ way? Keeping the WordPress standard login/out, but modifying those popups, to make them fitting better to the layout of the site?

Wordpress: 5.6
BBPRESS: 2.6.6

I have a strange issue in that bbp Style pack does not correctly show sub forums of main catagories, I have several catagories, all with sub forums and only one catagory shows the sub forums

I have reverted back to previous bbp Style pack version, disabled all plugins and even tried a different and bbpress compatible theme, non seem to work.

I have also tried the various forum repair tool, still no joy

Any idea and image below showing issue would be most helpful

Hi,

Also loving BBPress and I use a ton of addon plugins from Dev4Press on our forums:

Travel For All Forums

How do we get considered for inclusion in the forum examples?

Hello, I am using BBpress to add forum functionality to my website.
I am facing a problem. I created a page with name Forums and permalink forums. I have also set Forum Root Slug to Forums.

So Basically page permalink and Forum Root Slug both are set to forums. For some reason it is not showing the page properly. Have a look at the page and let me know what i can do to fix this. Thanks!

Sorry I might not have explained what I’m trying to accomplish properly.

The shortcode I’m currently using on my live site is this:
[bbp-single-topic id=4657]

Just the normal bbpress shortcode to show the content of the actual topic. I used some CSS code to remove the post form and any replies. So it shows only the first post in a topic which is what I want to display as news on my front page from different forums. The shortcode you listed does show the stickies but just the actual forum topic and not the content of the first post of that forum topic.

I wasn’t sure if there was a shortcode that displays the content of the first post from “x” amount of topics from a specific forum.

So on my page I have three codes that are pulling a single topic from 3 different forums.

Hi

I use
WordPress + BBPress and Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced)

The classic editor is activated and in use

Now My site forum
——————
change the line by input the enter key, it operates as a p tag (paragraph)

change the line by input the shift+enter key, it operates as a br (br /) tag
——————

I would like to use a br tag like this forum.

my site(forum) is now the br tag only works with shift + enter
(if input the enter key, it operates as a p tag)

I want to use the br tag at the line break when I type Enter.

how to it’s change?

Best Regards,
Hyunho

Sorry for my previous reply.

I don’t think I understand what you said …

It seems to me that your search page presents the results of blog posts and not the topics and replies from bbPress.

[bolhachefe]

Thank you guys from bbPress team!

Hi all,

I’m sure this has been covered off in another topic – if so, please link to it and close off this thread. Relatively new to bbPress, building a site using Elementor. I’m not able to get in to edit the forum pages with Elementor, not able to find the_content function.

Running WordPress 5.6, bbPress 2.6.6, and Elementor 3.0.15. Site is https://www.napeersupporters.com, running Astra theme

[erich199]

I was curious if anyone has or knows of any function or shortcode that I can use that pulls the first topic from a specific forum and shows it on a page?

@robin-w , does your bbpress shortcode plugin do this?

I basically want to create a section on my homepage called “Announcements” and have the latest two topics from my forums with the Title and an excerpt from the post body included.

[Robin W]

ok, given that Elementor Theme Builder is a paid theme and bbpress one of the largest forum plugins, have you tried asking on elementor support?

[maxlevel]

Hi Robin,

As far as I understand that add-on it is useful when I want to create bbPress pages from scratch.
This is not what I want.
I am totally happy with the default design of bbPress that my theme delivers.
The only thing I am missing is a right sidebar on all forum pages.

I know that may sound quite complicated when you are not familiar with the way the Elementor Theme Builder works. It basically replaces all the header, footer, page and post templates of a theme. Every template has Display Conditions where it should appear (what it should replace). At least that’s how it’s supposed to work.

I just can’t get the Elementor Theme Builder to apply the page template with the right sidebar to all of the forum pages but only to the forum page that lists all of the topics.

My suspicion is that Topics are another post type than Forums and that is why the template only applies to “forums” posts but not to “topics” posts. “Forums” is the only display condition I can choose in the Elementor Theme Builder so maybe the other types are just missing.

Hope that makes sense.

@robin-w

it is the translation that is bad.

I said I am using bbpress 2.6.6

but I tried the other versions. Under 2.5.14 it works but from 2.6.0 it no longer works

Under 2.6-rc-6 and other 2.6-rc-x it works but not under 2.6-rc-7

I would like to come back to 2.6.6 and that it works

by the way thanks for helping me 🙂

[Robin W]

looks like this is what you need

bbPress

[maxlevel]

I am not sure if this is more of an Elementor or a bbPress related problem.

I try to create a page template for bbPress pages in Elementor Theme Builder.
It only works for forum pages (the page where the topics of a forum are listed) but not for the page that appears when I click a specific topic (where replies are listed and the actual discussion takes place) and also not for the forum search results page.

It seems like the Elementor Theme Builder only replaces one kind of a page (or custom post?) template of bbPress but not all of them. As I do not fully understand how bbPress is organized in regards to different page templates I think I cannot ask the most useful questions to Elementor support or forum.

I tried lots of different display conditions but found no way to create a page template for this kind of pages. maybe somebody here has the same problem and found a solution or can help me to explain better what could be the problem?

[Robin W]

and couldn’t use it in bbPress function’ file.

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

or use

Code Snippets

[Robin W]

sorry for late reply.

You would do better to link to topic and reply content

so

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'content_link_for_user_snippets',80, 2 );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'content_link_for_user_snippets', 80, 2 );

I’d run them at priority 80, as bbpress runs various actions at this point, including one called ‘bbp_make_clickable’ at priority 60, which would probably reverse your efforts !

[Robin W]

sorry, I maybe misunderstanding

bbpress 2.6.6 is the official version, downloaded from here

Download

I’m not sure why you are using 2.6-rc-6?

and 2.6-rc-7 is not released yet, so will have bugs

[neon67]

Good idea for Christmas! 2 years ago we switched to bbpress from Drupal – and we are still happy. It has become much easier to work – everything is easily scalable and customizable. The forum at the heart of our site – https://imhodom.ru/.
Now we have an editor-in-chief, not a tired programmer) There is no such service that would not be in WordPress, and some ideas were suggested to us by plugin authors.

Special thanks to @johnjamesjacoby and @robin-w – success and good luck the New year!

Hi,
I cant figure out how a topic is related to its category in wp database.

I know for WP blog posts its Object id (post id) and term id (category)
But for bbPress topics i cant find the connection in database.
Can someone help me ?

[wpturk]

@defiance12 : Your forum looks great.

Many other forum softwares we’ve tried have hundreds of features we do not need. Bbpress is lightweight and easy to use. So a big thank you from me to the community and team too.

We did also a lot of customizations and shaped bbpress for our leading turkish business directory.
