Actually, I’m specifically looking to link some of the forums to memberpress memberships in a better way than I’m currently doing it. What I’m really hoping is to find other folks using both MemberPress and bbPress to discuss this with. It was kind of a shot in the dark 🙂

@timmy321

I’m a bit stumped as to why your theme is doing that, it would be worth just trying

So I don’t think I would need to copy and rename the page.php file to bbpress.php (unless I wanted bbpress theme to be different to the astra theme – I think I’ve got that correct, if not apologies!)

if it works, great, if not then take it out

[Robin W]

ok, you would be better to have a child theme to your paid theme, so maybe consider that going forward

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but what you will need to do is

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-login.php

transfer this to your pc and edit it to remove everything EXCEPT

<?php

/**
 * User Login Form
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

// Exit if accessed directly
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

?>

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/form-user-login.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original, and not show the login

If you do this in your paid theme, you will need to repeat it on every theme upgrade as that will wipe your changes out, but as long as you know that, you can place the file in your paid theme, just remember what you did ! a child theme maintains these changes.

I’m using a paid wordpress theme. I can modify code if that is needed. I haven’t changed any bbPress theme thus far. Thanks for your help.

[Anonymous User 14145219]

I have wordpress member login enabled on my website, and I want to remove the default bbPress login. I looked at bbp Style plugin but I can’t find a way to remove the default login.

Here is the link to the problem: https://www.shabdaacademy.com/forums/forum/life-sciences-forum/

There are two login mechanisms – 1. my member login, and 2. bbPress default login. How do I remove 2?

Thanks

After having disabled the ”bbPress Do Shortcodes” plugin I am seeing that shortcodes are now actually being interpreted in Topics without the plugin. I’m guessing that came with the recent updates to bbPress? I am seeing however that when using double brackets, which usually escapes shortcodes so that they’re not interpreted, they still seem to be partially interpreted in bbPress topics creating an error. If I use html entities instead of double brackets I am able to post a shortcode literally without it being interpreted.

Hi,

I am currently using a theme to develop my website. It provides a login page with all the validations.
I used the bbpress plugin and introduced forums on the the site. But I have the following issue with the Login and need advice.

1. I would like to use the theme login page, instead of the dfault login section that bbpress provides on the forum page.

a. Is there a way that I can remove the login section from the forum pages? By doing this the user will always be asked forced to login through the main theme login page.
b. Or can I add a Login link which redirects the user to mysite.com/login page.

I tried adding code to the function.php in the child theme to fix the redirection issue on failed login on the forum pages. But that afects the functionality of the main login page too.

So this is why I ws thinking of one of the above two solutions.

Thanks

[John James Jacoby]

Some functionality similar to this is planned for bbPress 2.7.

It is plausible that plugin will be used for inspiration, though the final code will likely end up being completely rewritten/modernized/debugged.

[Mike Witt]

Two sites that I’m involved with run bbPress with PHP 7.3.16 and one with PHP 7.3.19. There haven’t been any problems with PHP that I’m aware of. For whatever that’s worth.

[Rough Pixels]

Quick post here, but need confirmation…. is bbPress compatible with PHP 7.3 to 7.4?

[Mike Witt]

I’m trying to figure out how to control access individual forums (and the topics in them) based on user’s memberships as seen by memberpress. So this is basically about memberpress rules. This is clearly not a bbPress question. But I don’t know anywhere else to “meet” people using both memberpress and bbpress. Hoping to find some people here.

[timmy321]

Hi Robin,

Thank you very much for replying!

Ah yes, so it’s the ‘forum index’ page that is displaying a different style to all the other pages.

I’ve used the short code: [bbp-forum-index] on the forum index page that I made in the WordPress ‘Add New’ page.

I’ve then linked the url: http://findgyms.co.uk/forums/ to the ‘Forums’ button in my header.

I hope this answers what you were asking?

In regards to the explanation in the linked item 8.. Well, that was a learning curve! I didn’t even know how to access the WordPress database but now I do!

If I’ve understand it correctly, this header issue is possible as the ‘topics’ pages in the forum posts have the correct header styling but the ‘index’ does not – from the description this says it could be due to the index page using the ‘about’ page style instead of the topics using the ‘posts’ style.

After looking in the database I think that the forum index page is using the correct ‘Astra’ theme, but not showing the correct css for my header that all my other pages are (even the ‘About’ page).

So I don’t think I would need to copy and rename the page.php file to bbpress.php (unless I wanted bbpress theme to be different to the astra theme – I think I’ve got that correct, if not apologies!)

I really appreciate any further help with this as this is becoming quite confusing for my extremely novice brain 🙂

Thanks,

Tim

[Robin W]

hmm, I took a look, and yes it’s another theme that is lazy and does it’s css using inline, which makes it a real pain to debug or override.

but I can’t see what is wrong to cause it.

do you have a forums’s page using a shortcode or are just using a url to go to forums?

see item 8 in this to understand what I mean

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[slimshadys]

Hello all!

I’m using WordPress with the plugin bbPress slightly modified by me for my use.

So far, so good.

The only thing I’m stuck at, is the fact that for certains functions to appear (like Approve Reply, Close Topic etc.) I need to refresh the page, otherwise the buttons won’t appear.

How can I implement a sort of a function in order to refresh the current page just after I clicked on it?
So that basically when I enter this page, it gets automatically refreshed (and so the buttons will appear).
I’m talking specifically about the Topics / Replies page, I really need to refresh the page over there.

Thank you!

[zettis]

Here is a different plug in that does a reasonable job:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

After installing it, go to discussion settings and then set it to create a forum topic for each post, copy tags, etc. Then you have an option to apply settings to all existing posts.

I tried this on a test site and it worked pretty well. It did not do all the bookkeeping of reply counts correctly, but it did create appropriate topics for each post and import the comments and replies to them. Local bookkeeping services

It is also reversible as it does not delete either the posts or comments — if you deactivate the plug in your posts (which were unchanged anyway) and their comments are intact. You do still have a bunch of new topics in your target forum.

yes, I also removed the add-in

[timmy321]

Hi there,

Please bear with me here as I’m new to all this css stuff! I spent all of yesterday trying to find out what is going wrong..

After installing BB Press in my Astra Theme my header background colour, site title + tagline and sub menu + button have lost their formatting (or maybe more correctly termed style?).

You can see here:

http://findgyms.co.uk/forums/

This is compared to the header background colour and site title/tagline formatting in all my other pages (for example):

Home

This confuses me even more because the forum topics have the correct header formatting like all my other pages:

General Discussion

As I couldn’t understand where this issue lies I posted on the WordPress forum who then directed me here to ask the question 🙂

I’m building the pages through WordPpess dashboard as per this video example:

I’m using Elementor to build all my other pages.

Can anyone help please?

Many thanks in advance,

Tim

p.s. I would like to add even though I’ve literally spent 8 hours trying to figure this out I think bbpress is an awesome addition so thank you to whoever put it out there!!

[nybbles]

After playing around for a while… I figured out how to disable the calling of the login form…. which for my purposes is perfectly fine…

Though, I’m guessing that when there are updates to bbPress, I’ll have to do that change manually each time… not a big deal… It’s literally just a few lines of code, which I find hard to believe will ever change….

bbPress – Moderation Tools

shows pending to author and admins and sends emails to admins

[Pawan]

As I know bbpress is sending the reply content in text format after stripping html tags. But I need to include only the links present in the reply content. If it is possible? Is there any filter to override the function? Please help if anyone have any idea about it.

Am importing users to WP using the fabulous ‘Import Users from CSV’ plugin, which so many others use happily too.

While that plugin can be used automatically to subscribe imported users to a BuddyPress Forum, does anyone know if it’s possible to do the same, but for bbPress fora, and if so how?

Perhaps I should be using BP fora instead? My bbPress fora are already nicely formatted with ‘TinyMCE’, ‘post-post edit’ and ‘attachment upload’ functionality. (Not sure if that’s possible with BP fora.)

Thank you.

Hi,
How to let users follow each other in bbPress without using BuddyPress?

[bricktram]

I have copied this across from the WordPress support site on the suggestion of someone on there due to the problem only developing after trying to install bbPress on the website I manage.

“I have recently been adding a members only area to a website that I manage and have so far not had any problems until I tried adding a forum. I don’t know if it is plugin related for the problem to come about, but disabling the plugins to see if one of them is causing the problem doesn’t seem to fix it.

When I try to edit some pages or posts that have already been published, I sometimes get a ‘403 Forbidden, Access to this resource on the server is denied!’ error when I click on the ‘Preview Changes’ or ‘Update’ button. I only get this with certain posts or pages. I have tried to re-create the same pages that get the error from scratch, and have found that the error only happens when I include a link that opens in a new tab.

The existing version of the posts and pages are working fine, and I can edit everything okay. I just can’t preview or publish any post or page that includes a link that opens in a new tab.

I use the ‘Classic Editor’ plugin for editing posts and pages. I also have the ‘s2Member Framework’ plugin for the members only areas. This problem seems to have come about today after installing the ‘bbPress’ plugin to add a forum to the site.

The last time a post was successfully published with a link that opens in a new tab was on the 31st May and the only change I have made since then is installing the ‘bbPress’ plugin this morning (13th June).

I’ve tried looking at various troubleshooting suggestions, but none of them seem to fix it.

Edit: Since posting the above, I’ve been looking at some of the other posts and pages and it seems I can no longer see a pattern to which ones I can edit and which I can’t. I had thought it was something to do with the code for opening links in new tabs or windows due what I mentioned above. Now I can’t see any obvious similarity between which ones I can and which I can’t edit.

Thanks in advance for any help.”

… I think I found the settings buried in the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) Settings, I just turned off Topics -> Topics Settings -> Recipients “Select one or more roles below to determine which users will be notified of new Topics.

I’m wondering if there is a flag that allows users to subscribe to everything, since some users want to receive all new messages and some don’t…?

[davedm]

I’m having an issue where users are receiving email notifications for everything that gets posted on the forum. They are not able to opt out of specific forums/threads and only opt in to the topics they are interested in.

I’ve looked at the docs and not sure if it’s a software glitch or some other plugin on my site causing this functionality. They’ve unselected other threads (unsubscribed) but still receive their notifications.

I’m also using …

– Ultimate Member (free version).
– bbp style pack Version 4.5.4 by Robin Wilson
– bbPress Notify (No-Spam) Version 2.9.3 by Vinny Alves (UseStruct Consulting)

Not sure if any of those might be interacting too.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Dave
