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.

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 🙂

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 ..

[Robin W]

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

[devsam]

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.

[samtime]

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?
