Hi there,

I’m sure this has been asked before but I can’t find the answer. Is there a way to configure BBPress so that an admin is notified by email each time a new topic is started in a certain forum?

Thanks

Hello I am a bbpress fan. Personally I think it’s a really cool plugin.
Nonetheless, I want to use the search form in the bbpress.org sidebar.

So I used search-form using the code in the sidebar through the bb-base theme answered in last topic.

However, I can’t search in Chinese, Japanese, etc. other than English and numbers.

I do not live in an English-speaking country. So I searched for 3 days to solve the problem but couldn’t find the answer.

What I want is to search for a topic in the forum or to find a reply in an answer.

Can you tell me how to modify bb-base (sidebar search) to search in other languages ​​..?

Or is there another alternative?

Help the esteemed bbpress developer ..

how is this related to bbpress ?

My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro sends mod/admin notifications using the same format as bbPress, with BCC’s.

Also, I can recommend my GD Mail Queue Free or Pro that can take emails with multiple TO/CC/BCC fields, and created and send individual emails using the background queue.

Hi, I use the bbPress Moderation Tools plugin to send email notifications to moderators about new pending replies/topics.
However, the email sent out shows all moderator email address in the “To” section.
I would rather hide the email addresses for privacy.
Does anyone know a way to use BCC instead, or another system, so that moderator’s emails aren’t revealed to each other?
I think bbPress subscription emails are sent to noreply @ domain .com , with subscribers emails then BCC’d.

Thank you,
Sam

P.S. I did post this to the plugin’s support forum, but I think they are between developers at the moment.

Good evening everyone,
I seriously wish I was not seeking assistance as I generally try to figure things out on my own. What I am attempting to do, I know I am out of my league…

I want to replace the topic/reply bbpress control bar text links with icons.

EDIT | MERGE | CLOSE | STICK (TO FRONT) | TRASH | SPAM | UNAPPROVE | REPLY | QUOTE

Could someone please assist me? Just one link to get me started, I am sure I can figure the rest from there.

Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Hi,

I’d like to hide (or remove) the breadcrumbs only on my froum homepage.

E.g. hide breadcrumbs on ‘mysite/forum/’ but show them on ‘mysite/forum/a’ and ‘mysite/forum/b’ etc.

I have created a new page and added the [bbp-forum-index] to it so I could change the heading of my forums.

I have Robin’s bbPress style pack installed, however that hasn’t helped with my specific issue (unless I’m missing something…)

Any help would be much appreciated!

[willemb2]

Sorry, currently I cannot reveal that, because information that should be private is leaking this way. We’re still busy removing posts.

I’m seeing older threads here suggesting you need to modify functions.php to keep forum posts out of your RSS. Like this one: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/private-posts-showing-in-rss-feed-widgets/

[willemb2]

No, the “rss feeds per page” setting doesn’t allow values < 1.

We have the same problem. We just installed bbPress as a private forum, for logged-in members only. But posts appear in our public example.com/feed (and get replicated by Zapier to social media)

[Robin W]

great – glad you are fixed, but you would do better to pout the amended version I your theme, else it will be overwritten by bbpress updates

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you changed above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[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

My GD bbPress Tools implements BBCodes: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/ and many other things.

And I have GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin that adds even more BBCodes, it is linked from the free plugin page, so check it out also.

Hello everyone.

I have bbpress as my forum plugin for my website and I’ve been wanting to implement BBCode for BBPress. I currently have the BBCode Deluxe plugin installed on my site which seemed to have great reviews and is updated. However I had an issue getting it to work. See my question I posted on Reddit – maybe one of you would be able to answer it.

reddit question

But I was thinking if BBCode Deluxe is not a good plugin for this purpose or there is a better / simpler one, then maybe someone will know about it here.

Thank you in advance for everything!

Solved by deleting the code lines on wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

Hi there, using WP 5.3.2, bbPress 2.6.3
I would like to get rid of email and website fields when users are about to create a new topic. It is not related with my site theme and I don’t want to liaise with GDPR stuff either.

Here’s a screenshot

Thanks beforehand.

Okay, turned out the WooCommerce plugin was hiding the WordPress toolbar/dashboard in this situation.

Fixed this by pasting the code below into my child theme’s functions.php file.
Now the dashboard is available for bbPress moderators, but is still hidden for normal non-moderators, awesome!

add_action('init', function(){
if(class_exists('WooCommerce') && function_exists('bbp_get_user_role') && is_user_logged_in()){

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();	
$user_id = $current_user->ID;	
$bbp_get_user_role = bbp_get_user_role($user_id);

if($bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_keymaster' || $bbp_get_user_role == 'bbp_moderator'){	
add_filter( 'woocommerce_prevent_admin_access', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_disable_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
}
}
});

disabling comments will be fine – it doesn’t stop bbpress

[devsam]

Hi Robin, thanks for taking the time to read and reply. No problem, will try and explain it better.
I am upgrading a site that was one of the earliest versions of joomla to a fresh wordpress. The oldest site used the forum plug-in kunena but I am afraid there is no way to export all the entries made to that forum through the years due to its age and lack of current support.

What I am trying to do is copying and pasting every single forum topic from the joomla site to the newer WP and the idea is for them to showcase the original date they were published.

90% of this topics consist on just the first comment made by customers with normally no more replies. What I find now replicating these topics on bbPress is I can set a publishing date internally but, as it shows in the screenshot below, the ‘last post’ date matches the moment in time I created that topic on the new site instead of the original creation date I want them to have.

Here’s the screenshot again.

Hope it makes sense. If not, please let me know.

Thanks again.

Hi

If I disable comments completely on my wordpress site in the discussion settings will this affect bbPress or will bbPress function ok?

In the past I allowed comments but now I have bbPress I don’t want to allow comments anywhere except in bbPress topics/replies.

I ask because I know that bbPress takes moderation settings from Discussion settings.

Hello,

There must be a way to embed audio player for podcasts directly from RSS feeds, into forum topics? I can’t figure it out. I just want to be able to press play directly from the topic, without going to new link or downloading the full attachment. Any suggestions?

Hi, I would really like to give forum moderators access to the “Topics” and “Replies” section of the WordPress Dashboard. So they can easily see all replies and topics that need moderating in one place like I can as WP admin.
Is there a way to give moderators access to the WordPress Dashboard without giving them the full “Contributor” or “Editor” WP role capabilities?

I have tried creating a custom role with the “User Role Editor” plugin, but can’t find a way to give them dashboard access, without also giving them the ability to edit non-forum posts on the website.

Or, does anyone know a way/plugin that shows moderators all the topics/replies that need moderating on the front end?

Thank you, Sam

WordPress 5.3.2

We are using bbPress Private Groups and have tied the groups to roles (we create the roles “Members” plugin). When testing a demo account with one of these assigned roles/groups, the private forum did not show up for them. Does anyone know how to get these to show up? We need certain users to have access to forums based on products/memberships they with us.

Funny reading this as i had to install Disable Embeds plugin to STOP the previews in bbpress/wordpress/buddypress as it made a mess to my format and overlapped everything.i can only assume my Kleo theme caused it to “work” in bbpress. So maybe try a different theme?

[Dale Reardon]

Hi all,

I have now spoken with the devs of RTMedia plugin that I referenced above.
They confirm it doesn’t work with BBPress at the moment but they have a focus on both BuddyPress and BBPress and said it was a good idea and will incorporate it into the next update of that plugin addon.

So we will have a solution fairly soon.

Dale.
