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
bbPress 2.6.3
bbPress – Moderation Tools plugin 1.2.4
User Role Editor plugin 4.52.2

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?

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.

It only works in the BuddyPress wall feed. 99.9% certain that it is not compatible with BBpress. I’ve used it in a past project so I’m pretty certain.

Thanks, it work but I did this:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-form label {
display : none !important;
}
.youzer #bbpress-forums select {
display : none !important;
}

But I don’t kown if it will affect something else in the forum… I hope it will be fixe in futur update of my plugins.

Do you have a solution for the participant to be able to delete their own post?

Hello: My web consultant set up a forum for me with bbPress. It’s good and doesn’t need fixing. But I now need someone with good teaching skills to show me how to work it well. I get stuck in places. Hourly fee is negotiable. Five hours a week for several weeks should do it.

Nothing much.

I don’t really play in the files of my site and if I do, It was for these two problems. I have my child theme who I make some changes in the fonction.php files and I have some css in the astra theme, but I don’t think that’s the problem. I just deactivate Youzer to see if it’s there and yes, it’s still there. I just reset bbpress also and it’s still there. The participant can move the topics the another one.

The changes I made recently was with elementor, some traduction with loco translate. So the problem can be there for a awhile and I just notice it recently.

Can we just desable that fonction in the template of bbpress?

And for the deleting post for the participant, is there a code that I can add to the fonction.php of my child theme?

Thank you.

your theme is interfering 🙂

you’ll need to look at section 8 of this, to get your theme to use the right page

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

Members can’t post if they use an insert/edit link (Ctrl+K) icon. If we paste a link directly in the text everything is ok, but if we use that icon to paste an active link the post doesn’t go through. Sometimes a message shows up “You cannot reply to this topic”, other times nothing’s happening.

My theme is Avada, WP version 5.3.2, bbPress 2.6.3, bbp style pack 4.3.7, Image Upload for BBPress 1.1.16.

Hi. First of all thanks for bbPress.
I run it on a small non profit website and although it is early days, it is a cool feature which I hope will gain popularity.

My problem is that the main forum page is not working. Topics and subtopics appear to work fine. Instead of listing the fora topics the main forum landing page reads as follows

Archives: Forums

bbPress Forums
Published 02/01/2020
Topics

Search for: Home › Forums Viewing 6 topics – 1 through 6 (of 6 total) Topic Voices Posts Last Post Intellectual Impairment Started by: ….

It can be views at https://fitamalta.eu/forums/

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Stanley

I have developed an app for my website http://www.miil.co.il and part of the application is the website bbpress forum.

now I’m adding push notification using FCM to the forum (the web site already have it) so use can get notification on mobile when a new replay is posted.

I have been manage to send notification when replay is posted from web interface but not from the API, it seems that the bbp_new_reply is not firing when posting is done via the API.

here is the API command.

function bbp_api_replytotopic_post( $data ) {
$return = array();

//required fields in POST data
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $data[‘id’] );
if ( !bbp_is_topic( $topic_id ) ) {
return new WP_Error( ‘error’, ‘Parameter value ‘ . $data[‘id’] . ‘ is not an ID of a topic’, array( ‘status’ => 404 ) );
}

$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id( $topic_id );
$title = ‘RE: ‘ . bbp_get_topic_title( $topic_id );
$content = $data[‘content’];
$email = $data[’email’];
$myuser = get_user_by( “email”, $email );
$author_id = $myuser->ID;
$new_reply_id = bbp_insert_reply(
array(
‘post_parent’ => $topic_id,
‘post_title’ => $title,
‘post_content’ => $content,
‘post_author’ => $author_id,
),
array(
‘forum_id’ => $forum_id,
‘topic_id’ => $topic_id,
)
);

$return[‘id’] = $new_reply_id;
$return[‘topic_id’] = $topic_id;
$return[‘forum_id’] = $forum_id;
$return[‘author_id’] = $author_id;

return $return;
I wonder why I do not get the same outcome from the API as the web interface, as far as I can see they are using the same function.

Pretty much as the subject headlines says… 😉

Is there a way to display the latest topics/threads on the frontpage?
In some kind of widget or something?

The website is https://planetary-alliance.com

The idea is to have a little section on frontpage displaying the above mentioned.

Any suggestion that would lead in the right direction would be very appreciated. 🙂

ok, try

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
	color: #000 !important;
}

[Editor Mike]

using chrome and the page source I see this:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var gdbbPressToolsInit = {
quote_method: “bbcode”,
quote_wrote: “wrote”,
bbpress_version: 26,
wp_version: 53,
wp_editor: 1 };
/* ]]> */
</script>
<style type=”text/css”>
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
color: #000;
}

</style>

<style type=”text/css”>
#wpadminbar #wp-admin-bar-gdbb-toolbar .ab-icon:before {
content: “\f477”;
top: 2px;
}

@media screen and ( max-width: 782px ) {
#wpadminbar li#wp-admin-bar-gdbb-toolbar {
display: block;

Which would suggest it is there?

The proper location of translation files for bbPress was a mystery for me too. It looks like, that for bbPress 2.6 you only need to put them into (a change from previous version)
…\wp-content\languages\plugings\

And yes, if you download from

      https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/

you get a po file with a wrong name, like
wp-plugins-bbpress-stable-fi.po
which you must chagne.

[Robin W]

The trouble is I can’t see what you are seeing as that only appears when logged in !

try

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
	color: #000;
}

WordPress 5.3.2 running Corvus theme.

BBPress Version 2.6.3

I have just updated BBPress and now my forum toolbar buttons are really hard to read.
How do I change the button text colour from white to black?

(On the text tab, the visual tab is fine)

Here is a link to a topic:

bbpress and buddypress just use WordPress login, and WordPress lets plugin authors do this – only so much you can expect the WordPress authors to support. Wanguard shut down due to stress on author.

As a plugin author, I sympathise – it’s amazing how much abuse you get for providing something for free.

Plenty of solutions out there that use a variety of methods. eg

Ive never understood why bbpress, wordpress or buddypress dont have option for random questions where Admin can setup a dozen or so questions and answers to registration form. Seems like a simple way to help fight spam registration and simple too! If answer is not correct then registration is not possible. Wangaurd plugin had this and never had spam registration when that was installed.
Must be a reason bbpress, wordpress or buddypress dont offer such a simple solution to at least help stop spam does anyone know why?

Hello I am using BBpress and my forum is private and I want to make topics also private.
I want to show topics to only topic creators. other participants can not see others topics
