no I can’t – you would need code to create the ability to upload a csv file into bbpress – and that is beyond free help
Hello,
I am using BBPress with the la in conjunction with Ultimate Member (everything is latest version). Our forums are supposed be completely private for non logged in users. This works for the individual forums and topics.
Unfortunately, we discovered that if you put in “Forums” after the website URL an index of all forums with topics shows up. You are not able to access them, but it is really not good for us to have this information show up at all.
How can I prevent the Forums index from appearing by typing the URL. Can this be done? I would really be grateful for some help here. Thank you.
Dear bbPress team member,
I’ve got a question about a difference that I encounter between the replies to a topic in a “normal” forum page versus the replies to the same topic “embedded” in another page.
I’ve recreated the problem in a new website:
https://cursus.fotograferenindenatuur.nl/
WP version 5.4.1
bbPress version 2.6.4
No other plugins are activated
Theme: Twenty twenty
Username and password: on request
To reach the “normal” page: main menu > community > click “Test forum” > click “Test topic”
To reach the “embedded” topic: main menu > Page for embedded topic
When someone replies to one of the messages in this topic (except for the first one) the replies should be nested under that message. In the “normal” forum page this works fine (for a logged in user). But when I “embed” this topic in another page, all replies are posted at the bottom of the list. And they are all posted as new replies to the topic, and not as nested replies.
Do you know how I can get nested replies in the embedded topic?
Best wishes,
Toine
I’m still encountering this issue. Has this been resolved or not yet?
I did some thinking around this last night.
Basically bbpress looks for an author ID in the posts table.
Now there’s a hook in the topic/reply handlers (topic for topics, reply for replies, so they mirror) after a topic/reply is created.
do_action( ‘bbp_new_reply_post_extras’, $reply_id );
so if each of your characters has a WordPress user ID, then you could just hook to this, and change the post author to the worpress user ID.
so say
add_action ('bbp_new_reply_post_extras' , 'your function') ;
function your_function ($reply_id) {
$id = [either use the $_POST if still available and maybe have the value as the WordPress user ID , or get_post_meta for d20_character in the reply_id and do a look up to translate value to WordPress user ID]
$my_post = array(
'ID' =>$reply_id,
'post_author' => $id,
);
// Update the post into the database
wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
that way each topic/reply has a real author that happens to be your character chosen in the topic/reply form.
that would save a ton of coding in the output, and risk of missing one and exposing the real user.
maybe part of GD bbPress Toolbox?
it may be that your mail client is chopping emails with multiple recipients
try this
AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions
you would start by looking at the topic and reply forms in the templates
\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\form-topic.php
which you can amend and copy to your child theme putting them in a bbpress folder
these link to the new topic or reply handlers in
\bbpress\includes\topics\functions.php line 96
and an equivalent in
\bbpress\includes\replies\functions.php
these are called by filters eg
add_action( ‘bbp_post_request’, ‘bbp_new_topic_handler’, 10 );
so you could rewrite the new topic handler and call it from a new version of the above action, this could catch the $_POST from your dropdown, and add say an extra meta field, and allocating all topics/replies to a single user_id to prevent needing individual users.
You can then amend the other templates or use filters to show the drop-down from the meta in the content field.
Hi all.
Sorry, if this is the wrong forum ..
We are a non-profit organisation, ARTSCENICO – http://www.artscenico.com, and we have recently updated our website, and installed a bbPress forum. After now something like 6 or 7 plugins installed, I get a bit lost in it all, and I would need help to technically manage the site, and do some adjustments now and then, maybe improve it by having one or 2 paid plugins who do it all, instead of so many where you loose the overview. So basically I look for someone to help us develop there forum, preferably someone from EU as we are a European federation, and yes we think of paying this person. But all this would then be a question of details to clear between us.
If you – on top of it – are very good in wordpress homepages / template adaptions etc. This would be a plus, as some help might be needed there now and then too.
If you are interested, please contact us with some information about you via our website. Thank you 🙂
Hello, this is my first time positing here, so please forgive me if this is in the wrong thread.
I’m wanting to build a play by post (PBP) website for a D&D / Pathfinder game I’m currently running on a different website.
I know the typical forum has someone post as a single user, but in a Dungeons and Dragons game, the DM/GM posts as tons of NPCs and other characters.
The current website we use makes this as simple as selecting a character from a drop menu and the post looks like it’s from them, with their avatar and name.
Does anything like this exist for bbpress?
If not, can anyone guide me to documentation for how I might accomplish this.
Yes, I’m aware of the Switch Users plug-in but that would be a huge pain for how often I would need to switch and I want to make this option for players who run multiple characters as well.
Thanks in advance
how to add drag and drop and multiple image file upload in bbpress topics.
My forum requires image upload with every discussion.
See forum https://modelaircraftnews.com/
Ok, I see a Display name option in BBPress. Maybe that should be on my registration form.
But, it is that user statistics plugin again. It displays the usernames.
Ok, it seems that in BBPress my register page does not allow for you to specify the nickname:
Register
My BBPress Edit profile page allows you to edit your nickname though.
I see No where in general to specify what to display, apart from editing my profile in WordPress backend.
That said, I realise my username is displayed here as it is the @ text.
I am reluctant to show usernames you see. According to my security logs I have so many attempts to hack into my site my username.
In this forum I login with xxxxx username.
But it displays me as yyyyy, I like this as it keeps my username safe.
But my BBPress doesn’t have that. Just username.
I do know that CMS2CMS offers SMF to bbPress import service. Actually, I didn’t try myself yet, but know that these guys have good support system and can apply slight customization as well.
Here’s the link to SMF to bbPress migration by cms2cms – https://cms2cms.com/cms/supported-cms/simple-machines-forum-to-bb-press-migration/
Guess, that their Free trial can be given a chance.
Thanks for the fast reply! Upon further investigation I discovered the issue was with bad data on the old site where a lot of replies had a post_parent that either didn’t exist or it was not a bbPress post_type.
hmm..not come across this part – not to say it didn’t exist in bbpress, I’m just a user !
It could be a part of buddypress, or maybe another plugin?
I am seeing it from appearance/menu “bbpress specific” links seem show new and old fav & sub topics since bbpress upgrade but appearance/menu “bbpress topic views” dont seem to show newer subs or favs since update just old ones before upgrade if that makes any since at all
one of the most annoying things in bbpress and a regular topic !

One or two subscribers are not receiving email notifications despite having subscribed to the Forum. I’ve checked on the Forum and you can see that they have subscribed but looking at the mail logs, their email addresses aren’t on it. Has this happened to anyone else? Would be really grateful for your help. Latest WordPress & BBpress being used. Does it take some time for notifications to be sent after a member has registered? I’ve sent a test email through BB Style and they’ve received it but nothing is coming through from the Forum. Many thanks.
Private forums should provide what you want.
If items are going into moderation :
1. what other bbpress related plugins are you running?
2. are you putting links into threads – this is allowed, but try one with just text.
on profiles add
bbp style pack
once activated go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Profile
Hi all,
I tried to create a small community forum on our webpage, however I am facing some issues.
I am running WordPress 5.4 and installed the most current version of bbpress through the plugins section, activated it network wide, created a forum, creted a post, all working well.
Then I thought I need a way for the users to register and after some googling, I found out that I have to create a page that contains the [bbp-register], which I did. When I visit that page it shows the registration form. I enter a username and Email and when I submit, the site refreshes to wp-signup.php which shows another registration form asking for the same information. When I enter the data there again, registration is working, but that is not how it is supposed to be, right?
Kind regards,
Thomas
Hello!
I have a bbPress forum on my website. http://www.fullspectrumasd.org. I tested the registration system and was able to create a test user, but others who are trying to register are not receiving the automated registration email from WordPress. I have people waiting to use the forum who are not able to create a password. How can I get them registered?
Thanks,
Katie
some themes will have a bbpress FOLDER, which is where you would put amended bbpress template files.
filters generally go in the child theme functions file
Yea I am working with a child theme right now. I am just asking because I see some other child themes with the file bbpress.php in there. I am still reading up, but just wondered if there is a separate file beside the child theme functions file that can be used. I am creating a Bootstrap forum theme, hence the questions.
