Hi,
I’m new to bbpress and have created my first forum. It’s on a testing domain for now.

Question:
When I create a testforum it will show up as:
/forums/forum/testforum/

If I create a topic in this forum it will show up as:
/forums/topic/test-topic/

Is it possible to have the topic in the same url as the forum, like this:
/forums/forum/testforum/test-topic/

Thank you.

I do use shortcode for bbpress index display is there another way but man is index super slow to load! latest post shortcode is fine its just the index. rest of site is fine jumping from topic to topic but something must be going on. I have researched this and seems related to shortcode or amount of posts/topics/replies? site has only 80,000 posts with 6,044 topics so not big at all

Hi, I am attempting to set up a bbpress forum on my music site but when I did that I got this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_installing() in /var/sites/c/croydonfolkclub.org.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/options.php on line 272

Can any of you help me, please?

Thanks!

I have released a new free plugin for bbPress (it will remain as a free plugin, there will not be a Pro version in the future) for easier management of the topics and forums through the use of quick and bulk editing. Check it out here:

GD Forum Manager for bbPress

In the plugin page you can see the video showing how the plugin works. If you have any suggestions for more edit actions to be implemented, let me know.

Regards,
Milan

ok, you’ll need to edit a bbpress template using FTP

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

you’ll need to remove the line that says

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

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-archive-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

bbpress creates a hidden field in a form to ensure that when the result is processed it comes from a valid form – you get this error when the answer does not match.

so is this just one user? and just one reply/topic or everything they do ?

Shoutout for plugin bbPress2 shortcode whitelist.

actually probably more theme/elementor combination related.

since free Elementor is basic, and aims to encourage you to ‘go pro’ and buy additional elements and has a paid bbpress pack add-on, I kinda suspect it needs that to work properly – you wouldn’t write a paid add-on that is not required 🙂

Good morning, I’ve just installed bbPress and I can’t get the forums page to work, it doesn’t display what it should. This is the link to the page: https://www.joveneditor.com/foros/

How can I get it to display all the forums I have?

Thank you,
Marc

[Robin W]

given this is a paid theme, I’d raise the issue with Astra.

I also think astra using elementor, so this might also be relevant

bbPress

[timmy321]

Hi Robin,

That unfortunately has not had any effect.

Is my only option now to delete the astra theme and choose another one?

If so, would you know any theme that this bbpress will work on?

Many thanks,

Tim

Hello
I have a conflict with “Turning on UsersWP bbPress and bbpress breaks WPML and Elementor”
when I want to edit my homepage in elementor, i get a white page.
We updated the memory allocation, it does not help.

Help 🙂

For some unknown reason, the Merge topics function starting return the error:

“There has been a critical error on your website”

“Learn more about debugging in WordPress”

So I setup a staging site and disabled all of the plugins and started re-activating them one-by-one. With everything deactivated the Merge topics button worked just fine. You could see the dropdown box with all of the available topics to choose from.

I got down to the last major plugins, “Paid Memberships Pro” and “Business Directory Plugin” and when I activate either one of these, the Merge topic button returns the “There has been a critical error on your website” message.

We are running WordPress version 5.4.2, PHP version 7.0.33 and bbPress version 2.6.5

Any suggestions on possible fixes or quick ways to troubleshoot further will be greatly appreciated!

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 🙂

[Robin W]

@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.
