Good to hear that wordpress + discourse works fine. In my case, I am quite happy with bbpress, especially version 2.6 is pretty fast.

[Coin-coin le Canapin]

I gave it a try 3 years ago. It was working, but a bit incomplete from what I remember.
I didn’t keep it and moreover, I ditched bbPress, I think it is a horrendous forum system, slow and clunky.
I now use Discourse which I have connected to my WordPress with the plugin Wp-Discourse. It has been 3 years and I couldn’t be happier.
Sorry for being a bit off-topic though.

Our setup is the following

Buddypress Version 6.0.0
bbPress Version 2.6.4
Wordpress Version 5.4.1

Hi there,

When we receive notifications of topic replies. The Date Received field usually shows the time that has passed since the reply was posted. However, the text “Sometime Ago” is showing instead. This is happening for all bbPress notifications.

It still occurs when we deactivate all plugins other than Buddypress and bbPress and use the default themes.

Can anyone give any advice to fix this?

[Robin W]

ok, understand

if you just want that then

add_filter(  'gettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3  );

function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        'Reply To:' => 'Svar till:',
			            );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}
     return $translated;
}

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

not sure anyone is in charge of WordPress, but if you asked about making bbpress wider then they would say ask bbpress 🙂

anyway as I say, it is your theme, not WordPress or bbpress, that is doing this.

[Robin W]

sorry, theme related not bbpress

[Robin W]

is bbpress not translated in Swedish ?

[Robin W]

looks pretty full width to me – have you refreshed your browser?

the theme is setting a width of 90% well before bbpress gets involved.

you could try

.both-sidebars .container {
	width: 100% !important ;
}

but that will affect the whole site

[Robin W]

and this is looking at someone’s bbpress profile?

ie

mysite.com/users/&username%/edit/

[kasperdalkarl]

Thanks again for your amazing help!

I did as you asked, and I realized a few things.

Adding your code in form-reply.php only changed how it looks in the reply form, i.e. when you open a thread and scroll down to the actual box where you write replies.

What I realised is that “Reply To:” that shows in the forums is actually not from code, it’s automatically added to the topic name when someone answers a thread.

So the follow up question is, can you somehow in bbpress change so replies doesn’t add “Reply To”, I would like to change it to the Swedish equivalent: “Svar till:”. And is it possible then to add what we tried earlier with the avatar+name in front of the name of the topic reply?

Thanks a lot!

[Robin W]

install bbpress

then

dashboard>tools>forums>import forums and select vbulliten

[sandgaraa]

Dear bbpress team i have vbulltien i want to export users and subjects to my bbpress is there is any way to do this

[kasperdalkarl]

Hi again!

I managed to find it now. It’s here:
wp-content/themes/godlike/bbpress/form-reply.php

<?php if (bbp_is_reply_edit()) : ?>

<div id="bbpress-forums">

    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php if (bbp_current_user_can_access_create_reply_form()) : ?>
        <div class="nk-gap-2"></div>
        <h3 class="h4"><?php printf(esc_html__('Reply To: %s', 'godlike'), bbp_get_topic_title()); ?></h3>
        <div class="nk-gap-1"></div>
        <div id="new-reply-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-form nk-box-3 bg-dark-1">

            <form id="new-post" name="new-post" method="post" class="nk-form" action="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">

                <?php do_action('bbp_theme_before_reply_form'); ?>

                <fieldset class="bbp-form">

                    <?php do_action('bbp_theme_before_reply_form_notices'); ?>

                    <?php if (!bbp_is_topic_open() && !bbp_is_reply_edit()) : ?>

                        <?php echo do_shortcode('[nk_info_box icon="fa fa-exclamation-circle" show_close_button="true" class="bg-main-1"]' . esc_html__('This topic is marked as closed to new replies, however your posting capabilities still allow you to do so.', 'godlike') . '[/nk_info_box]'); ?>

                    <?php endif; ?>

[Robin W]

hmmm…ok bbpress can have issues on local sites, which is what I hoped then above would clear.

so ‘Viewing the default pages and ‘Hello World’ post is OK though, if any help. ‘ is that same as before, or is helped by the above and was wrong before?

[Robin W]

quickest way is

add_filter(  'gettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3  );

function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        'Website' => 'WhatsApp no'
             );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}

     return $translated;
}

When using this shortcode- [bbp-topic-form]

It’s working.

There are total 3 files named form-topic.php you would have to remove it from all three to remove (default forum). One is in the Bbpress plugin, other in the theme and one somewhere else (use Search function). It’s on line 128 in all three files if memory serves right.

Hi, I am using bbPress Version 2.6.4 in my WordPress site. I want to change the user input field ‘website’ to ‘WhatsApp no’. How to do this? I am not that much familiar in php coding. please help.

[finallyfoundausernamenotusedbefore]

Hello all,

A new problem has arisen, probably as a result of plugin upgrades as there have been a lot recently.

I am using:
BBpress 2.6.4
Advanced noCaptcha & invisible Captcha 5.7.1
bbP private groups 3.8.3
bbp style pack 4.5.3
bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages 3.0.1
bbPress Messages 2.0.9.1
LoginPress – Customizing the WordPress Login 1.4.4
WP User Avatar 2.2.6
plus a lot of others not pertinent to the forum (I hope)

Forum is at https://signalbox.org/the-blower/ but I suspect these issues are only visible to registered users.

Underneath the poster’s avatar is a link to the user’s profile. I limited this (for privacy) through bbp style pack to only show the user’s own profile and not that of others. This did work, but now it gives Error 404. I tried setting it to not show any profiles but the link remains active and still goes to Error 404. It is trying to link to https://signalbox.org/the-blower/users/username/

Same occurs if you click on Send Message

Other possibly related issue:
I seem to be getting notifications for postings I have posted in but haven’t subscribed to, I don’t think that happened before. As yet I have had no complaints so am not sure if ordinary users are similarly affected.

All of the above was definitely working at one time. I can’t figure out what has broken it. I can’t find any other mention of these issues in this forum so assume this is peculiar to my site – maybe conflicts between plugins?

Best regards,

John

Thank you, Robin!
I made some corrections and further checked the selection option parts accordingly. I also add a show contents part referring to a workable previous post with link.
The code can provide options for the user to selection. But the selection result could not be shown. I am not sure whether the selection result was added into metabox properly because I can not use the debug function. And another problem is that the “Field 1 ” was inserted into all previous replies.
Could you further provide help to solve this problem？

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content', 'so_additional_content' );
function so_additional_content($post){
	$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();
    $meta_element_class = get_post_meta($reply_id, 'custom_element_grid_class_meta_box', true); //true ensures you get just one value instead of an array
    ?>   
    echo '<label>Choose the size of the element :  </label>

    <select name="custom_element_grid_class" id="custom_element_grid_class">
      <option value="normal" <?php selected( $meta_element_class, 'normal' ); ?>>normal</option>
      <option value="square" <?php selected( $meta_element_class, 'square' ); ?>>square</option>
      <option value="wide" <?php selected( $meta_element_class, 'wide' ); ?>>wide</option>
      <option value="tall" <?php selected( $meta_element_class, 'tall' ); ?>>tall</option>
    </select>'
    <?php
}
 

 
add_action('bbp_new_reply_post_extras', 'so_save_metabox');

function so_save_metabox(){ 
    global $post;
    if(isset($_POST["custom_element_grid_class"])) {
         //check the capability: if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post->ID ))  return $post->ID;
        $meta_element_class = $_POST['custom_element_grid_class'];
        //END OF UPDATE

        update_post_meta($reply_id, 'custom_element_grid_class_meta_box', $meta_element_class);
        //print_r($_POST);
		
    }
}

add_action('bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'so_show_metabox');

function so_show_metabox() {
  $meta_element_class = get_post_meta($reply_id, 'custom_element_grid_class_meta_box', true);
  // the problem is "Field 1" appear in every reply post
  echo "Field 1: ". $meta_element_class."<br>";  
}

I’ve recently tried the bbpress plugin and have had 0 luck figuring out how to install any themes. Does anyone out there know of a good tutorial explaining how to do this?https://1921681254.mx/

I really want to use bbpress but it just looks horrible with my theme from Elegant Themes. (And the theme looks great). https://100001.onl/

Thanks!

issue got solved!!!!

[kerchmcc]

We have PMPRO (2.3.1) + Buddypress (5.2.0) + bbpress (2.6.4) + bbp style pack (4.5.3) installed.
Buddypress 6.0 really screwed with the displays, so that got rolled back.
WP: 5.4.1

Buddypress shows the profiles of members
In a member profile, there is a link to show forum (bbpress) activity.
Cool
If a user has a favorite or a subscription showing there, there is also an icon [x] implying that I can unsubscribe/unfavorite that item.
However, nothing happens when that [x] is clicked.
I don’t know who to ping about the problem.
If it’s you, please fess up! and thanks

unless you are running a very highly spec’d server and your users can’t wait another nano second, I would not worry about only loading on bbpress pages.

[Pete]

OK, thanks. I’m new to this game, so I hadn’t appreciated where the line between WordPress and bbPress might have been drawn. I was trying here largely becasue this website was set up the way I wanted.

Thanks again for your help though.

[failxontour]

It worked thanks! Sure wouldn’t have suspected that for the future i guess I should use the ispage() option to load it appropiately only for bbpress.
