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

It can be views at https://fitamalta.eu/forums/
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

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;
}
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.
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:
ID these oldhammer goblins
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
The Best Alternative For WangGuard With Scaled Protection
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
hmmm -I don’t get the confirm in my front end edit profile – ie from clicking my name within bbpress- I just get ‘generate pasword’ and then confirm that ?
you will need to amend a template, so need to be able to edit and ftp files.
If so, then
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php
transfer this to your pc and edit
change line 46 from
<?php if ( current_user_can( 'moderate', bbp_get_reply_id() ) ) : ?>
to
<?php if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) : ?>
and save
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 saved 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/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original and only keymasters will see the ip address
you are assuming that because it doesn’t work for you it doesn’t work for anyone 🙂
It works fine on my test site.
so create a new topic and subscribers to the forum get an email when a new topic is created.
If this is not happening for you, then 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
