Firstly great to be back here – my last post was 8 years back and it’s amazing to see the difference in the plugin – great job team!

I’m using 2.6.3 now on https://bffinder.ie/topics/ – a place for people to share their interests and find friends and using the bbpress private messages plugin too.

I can see there’s an issue with threaded replies and pagination but wondering if there’s an issue with the reply button.

When I click on reply the form does appear under the persons reply but it causes a page reload and then that reply form hides and user is brought to the standard reply form at the bottom.

Then if I click the exact same reply button again the reply form appears as normal.

I’m just a bbpress user who helps out on support – I leave trac to the authors 🙂 🙂

Thanks! Did you see my other bug report?

BUG: BuddyPress activity update not working when editing topic or reply

[Robin W]

you can have as many moderators as you like.

If you want a person to moderate across all forums, then set their bbpress role to ‘moderator’ in their profile in the dashboard.

If you want them to only moderate a particular forum, then set that in dashboard>forums>edit forum on the right hand side

[Robin W]

thanks, I’ve logged a trac ticket o the authors will be aware

[Robin W]

if you enable subscriptions they could just subscribe to the forums

or presuming these people have a specific role (eg moderator) then

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

[Michael]

In bbpress 2.6.3 threaded replies only work if the WordPress adminbar is enabled. If it is disabled and you click a reply link of a lower level reply the page is reloaded which is not supposed happen. If you then post the reply, it is added at the end of the forum post and not after the corresponding reply.

The bug is in templates/js/reply.js line 109ff. If you remove the reference to the adminbar, threaded replies work properly.

The bug did not exist in bbpress 2.6.1.

I have a group of people who will moderate my forum. how many people can I put down as moderator for each forum, also how do I change the moderators? I have tried to change a couple of the moderators but the dashboard does not take the modification.

[katepirie]

WP 5.3.2 , bbpress 2.6.3
I have set up a site with multiple forums, I have 5 people who will be answering questions on these forums. Is there any way that I can get these people notified by email when there has been a posting and which forum it is in?

[pkclub]

When translating the forum section on my website dictated by the bbpress plugin with locotranslate I noticed around 300 strings missing and saw this:
“One file can’t be matched to a known set of strings”
I did some digging around and found out that I need to manually configure it with configuration xml of bbpress. Nothing on google came up so I am posting here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I’m using buddypress + bbpress + ultimate member
I found that only avatar from ultimate member has been fetched, which is not what I want.
I think the ultimate member caused this bug but I need ultimate member to create login and register page.
Can I fetch buddypress avatar to show up in the bbpress forum without deleting ultimate member?
Thanks in advance!

Does the above code still work?

I tried to paste into my functions.php and don’t see any difference in breadcrumbs.

Jan 2020 – perhaps bbpress or wp code has changed?

[Robin W]

ok, still not quite sure what you are meaning, but suspect

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

and look at section 8 which talks about getting bbpress to use the template you want

[telium]

That link shows a nice page that’ve designed, into which the bbpress content fits nicely.

But when I click into the forums, or open any topic, they open in some generic template page. I have no ideas where that page is..

I would LIKE to design a page for forums/topics with a nice header graphic etc (just like my link above), and I would like bbPress to open the forums/topics in that page.

[telium]

My forums can be seen at:
new.telium.io/haast/forums

In case it matters, Im using the Avada theme. (But I can just insert the shortcodes for bbpress where required)

[telium]

I’m new to WordPress and bbPress, so I apologize if my terminology isn’t quite right 🙂

I have create a pretty page and inserted the BB shortcode which shows all the forums. However, when I open one of the forums, or one of the topics, I find each opening in a fairly generic page.

Is it possible to create nice pages for these, and tell bbPress to open the forum/topic in the page I created? (I don’t like the default page).

[telium]

I have a fresh bbPress install and want to import everything possible from my phpBB version 3.2.4 installation. The import runs and step 8 is importing lots of anonymous topic authors.

However, why aren’t my users importing? Based on other posts I ensure no topics/threads are attributed to founders/moderators/admins. (I created a single founder account and downgraded everyone else).

I see some references to a 3rd party import script, and other references saying its not needed. Can someone help? It’s Jan 15 2020 and I have the latest bbPress. Note sure hot to proceed.

Excerpt from log:

6.No forum subscriptions to import
5.All forum parents imported100%
5.Calculating forum hierarchy (0 through 11 of 11)0%
4.All forums imported100%
4.Converting forums (0 through 16 of 16)0%
3.No passwords to clear
2.No users to import
1.Skipping sync-table clean-up

[Robin W]

those words are not from bbpress.

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

It would be awfully helpful if bbPress could email the admin when this happens, rather than the admin having to spot hidden posts

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3325

[stevehammatt]

I’m also starting to have a similar problem. Some posts (rather than replies) are being held for moderation. It would be awfully helpful if bbPress could email the admin when this happens, rather than the admin having to spot hidden posts.

This never used to happen before. I had no words in my moderation list or blacklist in comments, and a maximum of 2 links specified in the Discussion settings. A post just got held earlier today with only one link in the post, so I don’t know why this is happening. I’ve experimented with increasing the number of links allowed.

I will also consider the code snippet above – thanks for that.

How to insert a Similar message service for bbpress topics?
May be exist Related Posts Plugin or hooks for bbpress topics?

thanks in advance )

[Michael]

If you edit a bbpress topic or reply the corresponding BuddyPress activity entry is not updated. The bug is in includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php lines 507, 645.

Even if revisions are enabled !post_type_supports( bbp_get_reply_post_type(), ‘revisions’ ) is true.

[samtime]

Okay, found a solution (albeit a little janky):

1. Go to the Topic and Reply screens in question (or any screen you want to edit), select “Screen Options” in the top right, then check/uncheck the meta-boxes that you want visible/invisible to your moderators (basically set up the screen to look the way you want moderators to see it)

2. Install the plugIn FV Clone Screen Options

3. Since FV doesn’t clone Screen Options to subscriber accounts (my moderators have the Subscriber WP role and Moderator bbPress role), temporarily give moderators the Contributor WordPress role.

4. Now clone the Screen Options you set up in step one to your Moderators with the FV Clone Screen Options plugin

5. Switch moderators back to the Subscriber WordPress Role

6. Hide the “Screen Options” tab for Subscriber accounts using the Adminimize plugin (found under the plugin’s Global Options > Screen Options), so moderators can’t make those meta-boxes visible again

Bit of a workaround, but seems to have worked.
Only issue is that I will have to remember do this process for any new moderator that gets appointed.

All the best, stay FUNKY!

Hi Guys!

In the blog it states:

> Expect for the next minor release (bbPress 2.6.4) to be released sometime before Christmas 2019.

Any update on that?

Thanks.
