Sorry, I guess this is still an open ticket, right?

Still not working for me either, bbPress 2.6.4.

Hi there,

We seem to be getting some discrepancies around the panels which include the following for example:

—

‘This forum has 3 topics, and was last updated 3 weeks, 5 days ago by Name Surname.’
Viewing 4 topics – 1 through 4 (of 4 total)

—

Sadly on our set-up, these stats don’t seem to be matching up to the actual real edits, ie it states 3 topics, when there are 4, which you can see by the second line the system displays, it says ‘Viewing 4 topics’ yet above it says there are only 3 topics?

Is this standard, and maybe we are just misunderstanding what it’s counting? If anyone has any advise that would be so much appreciated :).

We are using:

– WordPress v: WordPress 5.3.2
– bbPress v: Version 2.6.4
– Sadly can’t include a link as it’s behind a login restricted area but we can liaise if anyone can help and facilitate this access

Thanks ever so much,
Tonya

I have a page that just shows tags https://wateratairports.com/airports-by-iata-code/, it is working great and getting bigger over 300 it could grow to 1000 which is OK on a big screen but on a mobile, not good, I would like to add a line at the top of the tags offering a shortcut ie if you want A-F click this then it will take the user to a page that shows tags stating A and ending with F.

I am sure I can create the line with links to another page, where I am having a problem is how to only return the tags between A and F.

The template I am using is

/**
* Template Name: bbPress – Topic Tags
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/

get_header(); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_before_main_content’ ); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_notices’ ); ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<div id=”bbp-topic-tags” class=”bbp-topic-tags”>
<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class=”entry-content”>

<?php get_the_content() ? the_content() : _e( ‘<p>This is a collection of tags that are currently popular on our forums.</p>’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>

<div id=”bbpress-forums”>

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

<div id=”bbp-topic-hot-tags”>

<?php wp_tag_cloud( array( ‘smallest’ => 15, ‘largest’ => 15, ‘number’ => 400, ‘taxonomy’ => bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id() ) ); ?>

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div><!– #bbp-topic-tags –>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_after_main_content’ ); ?>

Is there a way to select what tags are shown ?, I am happy to create more templates.
hope this makes snese

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back

Hi John, our company did decide to shut down our Lithium forum and again exploring the idea of importing into bbPress. The bbPress import tool allows importing by connecting to a database. We wouldn’t be able to do that with Lithium. They will provide an XML file on shutdown. Is there a way to import from a file. I reviewed the bbPress provided PHP import files for mapping including the example that can be edited for Forums not included in the dropdown list. So we could edit our data fields to match.

Any help or insights would be great appreciated!

thanks,
Kurt

I am using bbpress and when I type anything in topic and try to apply formatting like bold, italic text, it show the code instead of applied formatting, suppose I applied B for bold it shows <b> Text</b> and does not make text bold , same like other command , like if I try to make text as heading3 its shows <H3> Text </H3> instead of text in Heading 3 style.
What is problem , thx in advance

Regards
Like I use b tag here and my text has bold , but in my case it show command name alognwith text instead of applying that command

not used elementor, but this should let you style bbpress

bbp style pack

Hi,

I’ve created a website using Elementor and LearnDash. I’ve installed and activated a forum using BBPress. However, when I try to edit the forum with Elementor I get an error message saying ‘Sorry the content area was not found in your page’.

Could you please advise how I can style my forum with Elementor? I’ve already got into the Elementor setting and ticked the boxes to edit forums, topics and replies.

Thanks,

Ben

I installed bbpress. In the dashboard, the menu items like “Forums”, “Topics” and “Replies” appear for the keymaster role. But it doesn’t appear for Participant role. Do I need to change any settings?

[Robin W]

sorry, no idea why.

Beyond free help, esp. given that divi is a paid product and bbpress is free.

The Divi Theme Builder Header is not loading on BBPress search results. Instead, it looks as though it is loading the default WordPress header.

Incorrect header

Correct Header

I contacted Elegant Themes already and they directed me here.
Thoughts?

Wordpress v5.3.2
BBPress v2.6.4

I have BBpress installed on WP with Avada theme. I have created a hidden forum where I place administrative notes.

Looking at the google search console I see error pages for each of my hidden forum topics! But the permalink is showing info I would like to keep hidden too.

Shouldn’t topics in a hidden forum be hidden as well? Do I have to set each topic to PRIVATE? Is this a bug?

[webcreations907]

Hello,

Easiest way would be to override the bbpress’s content-single-topic.php file and move bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' ); to above bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'replies' ); within that file.

For another option, I’ve tried the below on a few different themes without any issues. You’d add the below code to your theme’s functions.php file. Best if you add to child theme so that you don’t have to re-add if you update your theme, same would apply for the first option above.

if ( !function_exists( 'oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form_filter' ) ) {
	function oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form_filter( $template , $slug , $name ) {

		if ( is_array( $template ) && in_array( 'form-reply.php', $template ) ) {
			remove_filter( 'bbp_get_template_part', 'oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form_filter', 10 );
			return array();
		}

		return $template;
	}
}

if ( !function_exists('oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form')){
	function oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form( $slug, $name ){

		if ( isset( $name ) && $name == 'replies' ) {
			bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'reply' );
			add_filter( 'bbp_get_template_part', 'oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form_filter', 10, 3 );
		}
	}
	add_action( 'get_template_part_loop', 'oscowordpress1_move_bbpress_reply_form', 10 ,2 );
}

Best of luck, and hope one of those work out for you. 🙂

I have zero knowledge of GamiPress…but let’s park that part of the question for a moment 🙂

Like WordPress itself, bbPress supplies a plethora of hooks that will let you write code that listens for various events—such a new topics being created or replies being added—at which point your code can scan for keywords and interact in various ways. I’m not sure exactly what you’re picturing, but having the bot add replies of its own or perhaps even trigger currency transfers in the context of GamiPress are all possibilities.

How easy this would be I guess really depends on what sort of tasks you want your bot to perform and what conditions you wish to be met before it performs them, but certainly bbPress/WordPress by themselves provide a nice foundation to build on top of.

[webcreations907]

The topics & replies within forums you can change in your WordPress admin area at Settings > Forums below “Topics and Replies Per Page”.

If you want to change the displayed forum amount(shortcode you mentioned), try adding the below code to your functions.php file of your WordPress theme.

if(!function_exists('poco06_bbpress_change_forum_count_display')){
	function poco06_bbpress_change_forum_count_display( $args ){
		if( is_array( $args ) && array_key_exists( 'post_type', $args ) && $args['post_type'] == 'forum'){
			$args['posts_per_page'] = 100; //Change to number of displayed you want
		}
		return $args;
	}

	add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_forums_parse_args', 'poco06_bbpress_change_forum_count_display' ,10 );
}

That should increase it to 100, change as needed. There might be a plugin for that as well that others may be able to point you to.

🙂

[webcreations907]

You could add the below CSS to get your forums off your header and make the forums fill the page width.

You’d want to add the code to style.css file, preferably in a child theme so that when you update you don’t have to re-add the code. Or if that theme has a options panel with a area to add custom CSS.

body.bbpress .content-wrapper .content-area {
    max-width: none;
    padding: 0 7px;
}

body.bbpress .content-wrapper, 
body.bbpress.no-sidebar.page .content-wrapper {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;

}

body.bbpress .site-content {
    padding: 30px 0;
}

Just thought I’d throw that out there as a option 🙂

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses WordPress login, so the issue lies with your site/wordpress

[Robin W]

ok, I can only suggest that you revert to the standard tests

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Buongiorno,

ho un problema con il forum: alcuni utenti che appaiono iscritti non riescono a fare login utilizzando i dati da loro impostati, pur facendo molti tentativi.

Ecco le info sul mio sito:

Mi è stata installata la versione 5.3.2 di WordPress.

Da poco mi è stata installata la versione 2.6.4 di BBpress.

Il link al forum nel mio sito è questo: https://www.nuovicontesti.com/forum/forum/

Sto usando il tema Twenty Twenty di WordPress.

Grazie,

Federica

Hello,

I’m using bbpress with the DIVI theme and got an issue : the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode returns only 50 forums end no more !
I have also tried with the Twenty Twenty theme and got the same issue.

Any idea how I could display more than 50 forums with this shortcode?

Wordpress 5.3.2 and bbpress 2.6.4

I use bbPress with LearnDash. Recently my users are being redirected to the home page, if they try to visit a forum while they are logged out.
They should see the login form instead. How can I fix it?

[dbushrod]

Disclaimer: I am a newbie!

I have searched for hours to try and find a seemingly basic way to change how bbpress fits into the dara theme, as you can see from the page below, it sits on the header bar:

Is there anyone who could help me to get it to fit properly, please!
