I know about aravatars. when I turned them on after migration fro phpbb – lost of users got pissed off, and left to other similar forums which provide what our forum does…

But at least buddypress allows uploading the avatar..

IMHO not being able to upload their own avatar.. but having to register and use aravatars.. is a major drawback in otherwise great BBPress

Hi

I have been using bbpress for a while now. migrating from buddypress.
I have now disabled all buddy press ‘social’ features. And would love to remove it completely.
BUT I need it for user registration/profile..

It seems like in bbpress it is bare minimum.. users can’t even upload avatar from the front end. WordPress wp-admin is disabled to users.

Are the any plans to finally add a useful bbpress user profile module? or plugin recommendations?

Most user profiles plugins that I found with bbpress integration are premium.. meaning, paying every month/year subscriptions

What are you guys using?

thanks
Kris

Hello,

I have created few forums. I’m using “bbp style pack” plugin which lets me to have categories as forum title and forums with that category as parent. I need to hide few forums because I would like to display them on a different page.
Here is what I’ve tried:

ul#forums-list-9201.bbp-forums.bsp-template1{
display:none !important;
}

.forums-list-9201.bbp-forums.bsp-template1{
display:none !important;
}

#bbpress-forums.forums-list-9201.bbp-forums.bsp-template1{
display:none !important;
}

Any idea on what am I doing wrong?

[wpweaver]

Sorry – it was a plugin doing things before bbPress was fully loaded, as you suggested.

I’ve installed the forum on my site and set it up, it’s all working as expected. However if I post a topic, I have to log on to the site to check responses.

Is there a way to get notified by email when replies are added to posts?

Thanks
Alistair

[Robin W]

yes, that’s an issue with 2.6.x where bbpress uses a min file – they are working on a fix, but in the meantime put this in the custom css tab of the style pack plugin

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
	background-color: #fdd !important;
}

I have two questions:

1. Is there a general WordPress plugin that will search the entire site as well as within my discussion forum?

2. Is there a plugin that will search my bbpress discussions that will also search within attachments such as MSWord or PDFs?

Thanks.

Bob

[Robin W]

just tested it – seems fine.

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

When I go to Tools Export and select Topics, the export file is empty. I have 211 topics on my forum. Using bbPress v 2.6.3 and WP v 5.3.2. site is taxrepllc.com Thank you for any help you can give. Don’t know if this is a bug or not.

We need to move this forum to another wp install and a different domain. I was able to export and import users, forums, and replies but not topics. I even tried extracting the 211 topic records straight from the wp posts table and exporting them via XML format but the file was incompatible when I tried to import it. So you can see I’m a bit desperate for an answer!

[cr53]

Hi Robin, thanks for your reply.

I’ve tried using the CSS you provided in both the bbPress Style Pack Custom CSS tab and in my theme’s Custom CSS area and neither were successful at hiding the breadcrumbs on the forum home page.

When I inspect the breadcrumbs element I’m looking to hide/remove, I see that it’s labelled;

<span class="bbp-breadcrumb-current">Forums</span>

I would like to show the current breadcrumb on all further pages, however no breadcrumbs on the forum homepage.

Hi there,

I have a client who is using BuddyPress and bbPress, among other plugins to run a membership site. Recently they noticed an issue on user profiles, under the Forums tab where Forum Topics Started by that user are listed. The first page shows up fine, but attempting to click on Page 2, 3, or beyond gives a 404 error.

The site is using WP 5.3.2, BuddyPress 5.1.2, and bbPress 2.6.3 (all latest I believe). The site URL is https://www.themysticdreamacademy.com/

I have attempted resetting permalinks, disabling all other plugins and reverting to a standard theme, and none of this made a difference. I also dug up lots of forum and support threads which seemed to have similar issues, but it wasn’t the exact same and I couldn’t find a fix.

One odd thing I noticed is that the URL template for the main page is like this: https://www.themysticdreamacademy.com/members/%5BUSERNAME%5D/forums/

But when I click to the next page, it loses the /forums to become: https://www.themysticdreamacademy.com/members/%5BUSERNAME%5D/page/2/

I tried adding back in the /forums part but it still gives a 404. Not sure if this is relevant but I thought I should include.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction for fixing this. If you need any other info, let me know. Or if this is more a question for BuddyPress, I can post there. But I figured since it involves forum posts it was more relevant here.

Thanks,
Rory

[Robin W]

it exists in both.

Then original exists in the bbpress folder, and is updated by bbpress updates

The amended sits in your child theme folder

Is there a way to search for topics within that forum ??

For example

Dogs (Forum 1)

Cute puppies (topic 1)
My dog ​​(topic 2)
Cat vs Dog (Topic 3)

Cat (forum2)

Cute Cats (Topics 1)
My cat (topic 2)
Cat vs dog

Forum 1 and 2 Nested Cats vs. Dogs.
Is there a way to search only topics (topci 1-3) within dog forum ??

I personally think bbpress is very good and I respect all the developers here.

You can’t speak English without knowing the code. I still read and post posts through the translator.

Would you please kindly let me know?

Beyond free help, but start with

templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php and loop-single-forum.php

[Robin W]

probably because it is not a bug in version 6.x!!!

it will be theme or plugin related

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.

I would like to know if there is solution adding on CSS or function.php

Thank you !

I’ve been getting a bunch of little failures with 6.x on my long existing bbPress forum. I finally figured out I’d been running with WP_DEBUG as false. Turn it to true, and I get this nasty bug:

Notice: Undefined variable: topic_id in /Users/bw/Sites/xxxx/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php on line 456

Not sure how that is affecting other things, but really?

[luciana26]

Good afternoon!
I’m reaching out because I’ve checked the settings many times and updated WordPress version and BBpress plugin to the latest version as well and I can’t figure out why this functonalites stopped working. I’m not a programmer I do handle html, css and some basic php.

I’m having an issue with BBpress not nesting replies anymore and also as an admin I’ve stop receiving the notify emails everytime somebody post a new comment.
I’ve updated WordPress to version 5.3.2, BBpress to version 2.6.3 and BBpress Notify (No Spam) to version 2.8.

I’ve cheked the php version my host company is using and is 7.2.7 (beyond what the plugins require).

Could anyone point me to a solution or reason why is this happening? I’ve also emptied my cache.
Sorry I don’t post a link to my website is a private learning group.

Thank you so much! Luciana

WP 5.3.2
bbPress 2.6.3
bbPress Moderation 1.8.3
Akismet 4.1.3
Website https://bcycracing.org/

All of a sudden, the site is getting bombarded with “spam” Topics coming from the bbPress Forum. The Forum has been active since 2018 and up till recently has been spam free. Now, we get 100+ a day. Akismet API is current.

I recently deleted all of the pre-2020 topics in the Forum (housekeeping). The Forum is empty now.

I would appreciate any help you can provide.

[Robin W]

the code is for a previous version of bbpress.

try this :

#wp-link p.howto {
	display: none;
}

#search-panel {
display : none ;
}

[Robin W]

ok, so the first bbpress file (there will be another for replies) that we need to filter is :

incudes/topics/templates.php

if you open and look at the file on line 2425 you’ll find the function that does the edit topic link.

Within this is a function that bbpress uses to let us filter parameters (called bbp_parse_args)

it looks like this

// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'id'           => 0,
			'link_before'  => '',
			'link_after'   => '',
			'edit_text'    => esc_html__( 'Edit', 'bbpress' )
		), 'get_topic_edit_link' );

you’ll see the word ‘Edit’ is contained in the ‘edit_text’ parameter, so it is this that we need to amend.

we can use a filter to change what this says, so we don’t need to amend that file- so this code put in your child theme functions file

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_edit_link_parse_args' , 'my_edit_topic_filter', 10 , 1 ) ;

function my_edit_topic_filter ($args) {
	$args['edit_text'] = 'this' ;

return $args ;

}

will change ‘EDIT’ to ‘THIS’

The parameter is effectively output on line 2455 in

$retval = $r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $uri ) . '">' . $r['edit_text'] . '</a>' . $r['link_after'];

so if $r[‘edit_text’] outputs the icon, then you are on the way. If the icon is an image, then using html img etc. in the function above should be good.

let me know that you make progress with this approach – or come back.

If you fix that one, I’ll help you work out the rest 🙂
