I do get a few spams but not many. And typically, one member will email me if I didn`t see it, but since I get a notification of all the posts and all the new topics, I usually catch them. My main issue is mostly for those legit posts that end up in the spam. I get the notification they were posted, but not that they were flagged as spam, so I have no way to know to go check in the backend to “un-spam” them.

2. I also use https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/ that way the topic or reply does not ‘disappear’ the author sees it as pending, and you get an email so you know to take action.

This plugin might no longer be supported, it seems.

I use bbpress no spam notify plugin where you control the content of each email that is sent out …

Hi,

I just install bbpress and I am new to managing forums. I’ve searched this forum and did not seem to find the answer to my question.

How to hide or remove the “Create New Topic” section at the bottom of my forum. I do not want my participants to be able to add new topics. Only want them to comment on the ones provided. Is there an extra plugin that would give me this ability?

thanks
Jason

it is REALLY hard to get a computer to distinguish between real stuff and spam.

This support site uses askimet, but 3-5 spam posts get through each day. many just copy content and add their own url.

my strategy is

1. spam will get through, so unless your bbpress is massively used I use https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/ to notify me of each post and reply. I can quickly look at it, and if needed delete.
2. I also use https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/ that way the topic or reply does not ‘disappear’ the author sees it as pending, and you get an email so you know to take action.

GD Attachment will show as a thumbnail. But, if you have lightbox activated on your site then you can click the image and it shows it enlarged. Works very nice.

Just a little annoying to HAVE to click for every image one wants to see. On my site, it is all about scrapbooking, so every image has to be seen.

As for TinyMCE you have to make sure you are not using the cut down toolbar which will strip the extra buttons from the display.

Not sure what you mean by the “cut down toolbar”.

bbPress multi-image uploader does something similar but instead of small thumbnails, it is just a smaller version of the image so you can often view it as is. Anyone able to update that plugin (or check if it does even need an update)?
See an example: https://scrapbookcampus.com/Community/topic/bootcamp-july-2020/page/4/

[cassel]

Not sure what changed, but I tried to re-enable the Tiny MCE Advanced, and I can no longer upload images: the upload button is no longer there.

I tried the GD Attachment and it does show only a rectangular thumbnail (horizontal, even if the image is vertical).

bbPress multi-image uploader still work for me and the Inline Image Upload for BBPress works well too.

bbpress just uses WordPress registration and login.

bbpress then just assigns the default role on first login that is set in Dashboard>settings>forum>roles if you have that ticked, or you can manually assign if you wish.

Therefore you can ignore anything bbpressy on registration and login, and just use anything that WordPress does instead.

This gives you the ability to utilise plugins such as ‘theme my login’ to give yourself a nice registration and login (there are plenty of other good login plugins, just search around).

It looks like you have already changed the default wp urls – which is great and good security practise, so suggest you just don’t use bbpress login shortcodes or widgets, and let wordpress do your registration and login.

Do come back if you need further help

Hi

I have just installed bbPress on my site. I craeted a test user to see how it works. I was horrified to see that the email included a url for registration that is the admin url I use. I have changed this from the default for reasons of security and do not realy want to be sending out my wp admin login url to everyone who registers on the site. Is there a way around this or is it a wordpress thing?

I just found this:

Inline Image Upload for BBPress

[cassel]

I have used this plugin for a long time now: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-multi-image-uploader/
Although it does not let one post images INSIDE the posts (they only display after the text), it is VERY useful. The problem now, is that the plugin has not been updated in 2 years. It still works, but I was also looking for an alternative.

I will look at Chuckie’s suggestion.

[Robin W]

@kriskl – thanks I’ll make a note that wp rocket is bbpress friendly 🙂

[hitobonfim]

dear all
i want to speedup up the bbpress
i used the cache plugin , but the new topice cant show it the page
hope someone can share something , how to speedup the bbpress

[Chuckie]

A user has created a topic but they have covered two different issues in the one topic. So ideally I would like to:

– Duplicate the topic
– Edit each topic to one question each

I don’t know how to do this with the current moderation tools in bbPress.

[Robin W]

yes, find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

you’ll see

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

change that to take out the first line and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

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

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[kriskl]

I see, pity, but thanks for your help 🙂

BY the way, How on this BBpress forums – it was possible to remove top pagination and leaving the one at the bottom?

css display none kills both 🙁

[kriskl]

yes,

I have disabled all plugins but BBpress. and changed to WordPress default theme.
with your code
this is what it looks like:

1 2 … 2,843 →
it still shows the last page: 2,843

https://opendev.leetdns.com/forums/

[Robin W]

so put this in the custom css are of your theme

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums li.bbp-body .reply .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums li.bbp-body div.hentry .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies li.bbp-body .reply .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies li.bbp-body div.hentry .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics li.bbp-body .reply .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics li.bbp-body div.hentry .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links {
bottom:1px !important;
}

[kriskl]

yhm,
I will try on another test site
maybe some plugin conflict..
here is some code above and below

//ONLY BBPress below
//create vertical list subforum layout
function custom_bbp_sub_forum_list() {
  $args['separator'] = '
';
  return $args;
}
 add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_sub_forum_list' );
 

function ra_bbp_increase_pagination($args) {
    $args['end_size'] = 0;
    $args['mid_size'] = 3;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'ra_bbp_increase_pagination' );

function rk_hot_topics() {
   $reply_count = bbp_get_topic_reply_count();
  
   if ( $reply_count > 5 )
      echo '<span class="hot">HOT</span>';
}
  
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'rk_hot_topics' );

[Robin W]

yes your theme has a style sheet

wplms/assets/css/bbpress.min.css

which contains

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums li.bbp-body .reply .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums li.bbp-body div.hentry .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies li.bbp-body .reply .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies li.bbp-body div.hentry .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics li.bbp-body .reply .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics li.bbp-body div.hentry .bbp-reply-header .bbp-admin-links {
 position:absolute;
 bottom:15px;
 right:0
}

which moves the links, and makes them unclickable

[kriskl]

Hi Robin,

for example on this page:

https://bbpress.org/forums/

to remove / hide 981 982 983 pages

the css class seems to be the same, so not sure how to hide it

[Robin W]

what do you mean by

Hi, i would like to use WordPress native posts as topics with bbpress.

[proversion88]

I want to separate wordpress and bbpress..wordpress is on my main domain and I want to setup bbpress on a subdomain like forum.mydomain.com

I tried with adding bbpress, but it really mess up everything on the membership side as it is already setup with custom themes and plugins and lot of modifications through code. I also need to use separate theme for forum as the default is not integrated well with my current theme..For these reasons, I want to install wp and bbpress on a subdomain as separate installation and keep it private and closed for registrations..

I checked the link you posted, and it was talking about using same database for both wp installations..But in that case, their worpdress installation is identical..Mine has too nuch complicated structure in one and the forum installation will just need bbpress only..

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress users, so if your members are WordPress users, they will be bbpress users as well.

you main issue will be sharing users between two domains.

Why do you want bbpress in a sub domain ?

[proversion88]

I have a membership site with s2 member plugin and I want to install bbpress on a sub domain..the forum is not public and only my members need to access it. Is there an easy way to bridge login between bbpress and wordpress? All my members should be able to login to forum without registering again..

[theicebooky]

Is it possible to allow spacing in the BBpress Forum description? Right now, even when you created different paragraphs for the description, the spacing will disappear and the paragraph will be squished together in the shown forum description.

Is there a way to get different paragraphs to seperated when thr forum description is shown?

Is there a code snippet that I can add? I don’t know how to code but I would love this to work.

If you want picture examples, I will be more than happy to provide!
