Hi there,

I´ve got a question about the login function of bbpress. I´ve created a forum and would like this to be visible only after you have logged in. So if you come on the forum-page there should be only a login field. And then you come to the forum. Is this possible and can anybody give me a hint?

Thanks a lot and best regards

Jörg

post type reply is definately bbpress.

so how would I know from the link whether it is working – what am I looking for ?

[amirzwp]

And again, thank you very much for your help.

It didn’t change anything on the BBPRESS – Reply Pages, for example:

https://www.paastoa.com/antworten/8907/

Is the code you sent me really for BBPRESS? I think it’s for the normal replies…

[davelowe1977]

Apart from the root forum which shows all the sub forums and nothing else, all my sub forums have a reply / new topic form tacked on at the bottom. I would like to remove this and replace it with two buttons: “New” and “Reply” which lead to a separate form/page with all the removed functionality. If I inspect the page code as it is, it is everything in this element tag:

<div id=”new-topic-0″ class=”bbp-topic-form”>

Is this possible? Thanks.

WordPress 5.4.1
BBPress Version 2.6.4 & default theme.

I think this is what you are after

bbp_show_lead_topic

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

[Robin W]

you could just enqueue it

bbp_enqueue_script( bbpress-editor-always, 'js/editor.js', array( 'jquery' ), '2.6.4', true );

[Robin W]

thanks – I’m just a user who helps out here, not a bbpress author.

so

1. can you confirm that the above plugin is not necessary – bbpress already does this ?

2.

can you try this code

add_filter( 'wpseo_metadesc', 'rew_meta_desc' );
function rew_meta_desc( $content ) {
    global $post;
    if ($post->post_type == 'reply' ) {
		$order = $post->menu_order ;
		$post_parent = $post->post_parent ;
		$title = get_the_title ($post_parent) ;
        $content = $title.' '.$order ;
    }
 return $content;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Thanks for your answer. This only does that the topics in BBpress displays the correct meta description from Topic Content. But I need it also for the Reply-Pages, like I mentioned.

[Robin W]

theme specific, bbpress just uses the width your theme gives it.

[amirzwp]

bbPress does automaticly create a page for each reply.

Example:

Antwort auf: Auf- und Abbautage – was muss ich beachten?

Antwort auf: Braucht es eine Darmreinigung?

Antwort auf: Welche Methode passt zu mir?

The Meta Title is empty (only the title of the website), how can we automaticly create a meta title from the title of the reply? I give you an example:

Reply: https://www.paastoa.com/antworten/8907/
Reply Title: Antwort auf: Auf- und Abbautage – was muss ich beachten? 01
Meta Title should be: Antwort auf: Auf- und Abbautage – was muss ich beachten? 01
or something like that. But something is important: It should create a different title for each of the answers (With a number at the end? Or what do you think is the best solution for this issue?)

Hope you understand my question and thanks for your help.

bbpress doesn’t load the the necessary scripts (reply.js etc) when embedding a topic as a shortcode. This is because of the conditional checks on line 158 of bbpress-functions.php

if ( bbp_use_wp_editor() && is_bbpress() ) {

[jayapramod]

For field name change I made changes in these files (in the wp-content >> plugins >> bbpres):

includes/admin/metaboxes.php
templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
includes/admin/metaboxes.php
templates/default/bbpress/form-user-edit.php
templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

Now it’s showing ‘Whatsapp number:’ instead of ‘Website:’. Still, there is a problem remaining, as I didn’t change the php code (not familiar in PHP coding) for website url, after entering the phone number it’s showing like this ‘http://9669856568&#8217;.

Also made changes in all css files in this directory wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/, for font size change. From font-size: 12px; to font-size: 18px;.

[Robin W]

this code is from a bbpress convertor – no idea why it is running.

suggest you delete the user and recreate them

BUMP!

(yes I know this is an almost nine year old thread ;))

Years ago (before this thread was created) I asked Sam Bauers about how bbPress 0.9 compared to phpBB and he said that bbPress was slower by default, but as soon as you hooked up an object caching backend, that bbPress wooped phpBB quite easily.

But does anyone have an idea of how the “new” bbPress plugin compares to say phpBB performance wise? Logged out users are easily handled by caching, but what about the logged in folk? With some aggressive object caching, we can tank the number of queries to a minimum and it will run a ton faster, but I have no idea how this compares to the more “standard” forum tools.

And are there any tricks to making bbPress handle huge forums?

When running debug, this is one of the warnings/errors I get:

<b>Warning</b>:  register_shutdown_function(): Invalid shutdown callback 'BBP_Converter_DB::__destruct' passed in <b>/home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/classes/class-bbp-converter-db.php</b> on line <b>33</b><br />

bbpress is just a custom post type, so in the database entry 2448 just happens to be a topic, 2447 could be a WordPress post, a wordpress page, a revision or another custom post type.

They’re all just database numbers

Thank you for your kindly help.

Actually the case is informative and the users should be informed. I did like this:

1. Use the forum editor for saving replys. Do not export content by using copy-paste function
2. If there is a need to paste links, then copy paste links from the browser address field.

This case was painful. We did not know why bbpress gave 404 error messages to forum users when they save forum messages. The reason was wrong format.

[Robin W]

you could enable the visual editor

either

Enable Visual Editor

or

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/Reply Form

Hello

My users has problems. When they paste text from email or other application, Bbpress does not allow to publish their posts. According to my understanding this issue has some relationship to HTML format.

How could I inform my users, so they could publish content without problems?

Hi.
I installed bbpress and it shows wrong topic number. I have only one topic in forum and it shows #2448.
Tried to fix it with the bbpress tools without success.

Test

Any fix?

part 8

[orangeturtle1000]

When and why this happens we are unsure, it seems to be a randomly occurring thing from what I can tell.

I’d also like to clarify this is related to the bbp forum freshness not updating. Although there are many posts and replies, new ones too, it is displaying ‘no topics’.

Additionally,
1. No caching plugins are active
2. We do not use categories or sub forums
3. We have installed the following bbpress related plugins
-bbp Refresh last active time
-bbp style pack
-bbPress – Custom Remove ‘Protected:’ and ‘Private:’ title prefixes
4. Running the freshness repair tool does temporarily solve the problem as does updating the forum

I’ve read some forum topics where users have had similar problems with the freshness not updating correctly, was there a solution to this, is this related, and are there any ideas what might be causing this problem?

thanks for your help. Let us know if there is anything else that we can provide to assist, would love to get this finally resolved.

All,
I’m new to wordpress/bbpress, I’ve set my forum page to full-width… topics (list) are being shown as full-width. When I go into a specific topic, it’s not full-width. I have to manually change the topic attribute to full-width for each topic. It seems like when a topic is created, topic attribute is being defaulted to (default template) which is not full-width. Is there a way when a topic gets created, full-width template is used as default.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Found it! I live in New Zealand and had the time zone set to UTC + 12.

Turns out bbPress cannot deal with that so I had to set it back to UTC. Now I have to figure out how to deal with being 12 hours ahead of my website! Pah!
