There’s a lot of functionality I’m seeing on this forum that I’m not too sure how to reproduce on my own install of bbPress.

One of them is the account dropdown links that show when you hover over your profile photo, see this screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/jx5O0rsY1Qoy.png

I have no idea how to reproduce this, I’ve checked the shortcodes available but I can’t find it: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/

I’m working from a local WP install so the site is not live. When i try to visit the links on my install they dont work, for example:

https://forum-website.local/forums/profile/admin/topics
https://forum-website.local/forums/profile/admin/replies
…
…

The forum root is set to forums and admin is the name of the user im logged into and testing. How do I go about reproducing this dropdown so users can keep track of their topics, replies, subscriptions, favorites etc just like on bbpress.org?

The email sent for email notification in bbPress is our website name. How to change it to have different email sender name?

thanks

No idea of it is compatible, but bbpress has custom post types of reply, topic and forum, use these calls and see if they work

add_post_type_support( bbp_get_reply_post_type(), 'shortlinks' );
add_post_type_support( bbp_get_topic_post_type(), 'shortlinks' );
add_post_type_support( bbp_get_forum_post_type(), 'shortlinks' );

Hello. I hope you are well!

When using jetpack link shortener feature “wp.me”, this feature does not work with jetpack link sharer (whatsapp, facebook, etc)

This was solved with the plugin: “Shortlinks for Jetpack sharing buttons” by Jeremy Herve.
See here:
https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack-shortlinks-for-sharing-buttons/

However, the plugin only works natively on standard WordPress posts and pages, on custom post types like Woocommerce, it does not work.

Here’s a way to fix this:
https://jetpack.com/support/wp-me-shortlinks/
As the post type for woocommerce products is “product”, the code looked like this:

add_action( 'init', function () {
add_post_type_support( 'product', 'shortlinks' );
});

It is now possible to share woocommerce products with shortened links using jetpack share buttons.

I would like to know if BBPress is compatible with Jetpack’s sharing feature, and what type of post should I use so that shares can be made using the link shortener as I did above in Woocommerce.

Grateful.

So we are using the most recent WordPress and BBPress versions, along with Twenty Twenty Four template. We were getting the blank page so I installed the BBpress style app as ive seen in other posts. It now shows the forums, but it’s throwing the menus in the header to the left, along with messing up the headers in the footer. How do I fix this?

bbpress just uses wordpress authentication, so probably the answer is no

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

Custom Capabilities

[BennyW]

Hi,
New to bbpress. Just installed.
We have WordPress custom roles and I need to limit access to forums based on custom roles.

1. Is it possible to limit forum visibility (forums, post, widgets) based on WP custom user roles?
I have many user roles and would like to limit it by user role “MainGroup” that is set up for users that have certain access.

2. Is it possible to do the above but based on role combinations, eg give access to users with role “MainGroup” AND “Learner” user groups?

3. Is it possible to set user access on a per forum basis or globally (all forums)?

Many thanks for any help and advice.

Ben

Is there a way to avoid basic authentication via wp admin-ajax.php for bbpress only?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress users so if your plugin is not using wordpress users,the answer is probably no.

Maybe ask the private content plugin authors.

Hi,

is there a plugin that will give the user a popup after pressing “post” on a reply in a topic when the topic is older than a certain amount of days?
Telling the usesr the topic is older than XX days, and asking if they are sure they want to post in that topic. When pressing YES, the post is sent. When pressing NO, nothing is sent.

also, some sort of notification box above the input field for the post would be lovely….

i have seen this on other forums, but can’t seem to find this for bbpress.

The default of bbpress is set to participant, and the default user role on the site is subscriber, however users can also have a custom ‘vendor’ role, which should give them the same permissions as far as the forum goes as everyone else

[Robin W]

what wordpress and bbpress roles do users have?

[neon67]

Hi. I use a shortcode from bbP shortcodes like [bbp-display-topic-index show=’6′ forum =’2692,2696,2697,2698,2700,2702′ show_stickies=’false’] Question about Stickies – the display does not depend on this records – false or true. I even tried to write no – it doesn’t help either, the topics are always shown at the top.
BBpress 2.6.11
How is this solved?

[Ketil Ervik]

I changed the color visually via the web browser and then copied the code into Custom CSS, but when I then refresh the page, it again shows the color I wanted to change, so this didn’t help! See the image of the code I wrote in Custom CSS

What am I doing wrong here, why didn’t the color change? See the image of the code I pasted into Custom CSS

I use bbPress Version 2.6.11 and wp version: 6.6.1.
I am also using bbp style pack Version 6.0.6.

[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

[Robin W]

you are using the divi theme

On profiles,I’d suggest you add

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support and you’ll see some useful info on search and profiles

2. on splitting using the same plugin as above, go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>bbPress Bug Fixes

and select Fix ‘A variable Mismatch has been detected’ – this may fix that one.

Dear BBpress moderators,

I have recently started a forum on my site and chose bbpress as my forum plugin… Now Iam experiencing the following problem; when I login as a user, post a topic and then try to edit it as the user OR as an admin, I get a “no results found” blank page with a 404 error. Another matter that is inoptimal is that when you click a user’s profile, you get a mile long blank page with broken links on it, and when you scroll to the bottom you get a very glitched out user module with non-functioning tabs. Would you perhaps know how to fix this? I have already tried a ton of things, from editing the slug to logging in as different roles, nothing works. Bytheway, as an admin, ‘splitting’ a topic/ reply also doesn’t work and gives me the same error.

Thak you in advance

Sincerely, Dave.

Since bbPress sends emails in ‘bulk,’ every recipient gets the same message; there is no way around that. There was some discussion of changing how emails are sent, but that is a very complex issue right now.

The only way to resolve this is to override the bbPress code for sending emails and write a new one to do what you need. But, that needs to be custom-coded, and it would not be cheap to do.

[Robin W]

Because bbpress sends a single email with all the recipient email address in the BCC, this is not possible.

[Robin W]

I am not a bbpress author, so cannot do that – sorry

[prashpbt]

Hello Robin,

Shall check with 6.5.5 + bbp style pack. Thanks for the suggestion.

However , I would like to suggest you to integrate bbp style pack within bbpress itself. So that users wont have to take an extra step and install bbp style pack.

Kindly let me know if that’s possible.

Regards.

Hey n3wjack,

There aren’t many actively maintained like-button plugins for bbPress specifically. But, check out “Like for bbPress” – it might do the trick for simple upvoting!

[TKServer]

Yeah I just deployed the first version. Once it’s been tested and gotten some user feedback I’ll update if necessary, then I think I’ll make a free version for the bbPress community.

[Milan Petrovic]

Hello,

Both things are available in my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin: plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox. You have additional notifications for admins, and every email sent by bbPress can be customized and you can change the text of the email.
