Hi,
I want to use the topics RSS feed to send out a newsletter in my email provider.
The problem is that at the moment the RSS feed is bringing in the entire contents of the topic post rather than just a summary.
I understand the BBPress RSS feeds are entirely separate to the main WP feeds and not affected by the reading setting of summary excerpt in the WP settings.
Is it possible to control the length in characters or words that go into the BBPress RSS feed?

Thanks,
Dale.

Hi there, I am facing layout issues on mobiles, desktop/tablet is OK, here are the pics:

<script async src=”//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

Could you please help me with this? I believe that it might be related to CSS setting or something.

BBpress is running on Divi theme, everything else is OK.

Thank you so much.

I would like to add some links to the bbpress login widget.
Can someone point me in the right direction.
I can not even find the code of the login widget in my bbpress plugin folder…?
Thanks
Matthias

suggest if you haven’t updated or changed software that you contact your host provider

otherwise

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

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.

[katepirie]

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

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.

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