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

I’m also starting to have a similar problem. Some posts (rather than replies) are being held for moderation. It would be awfully helpful if bbPress could email the admin when this happens, rather than the admin having to spot hidden posts.

This never used to happen before. I had no words in my moderation list or blacklist in comments, and a maximum of 2 links specified in the Discussion settings. A post just got held earlier today with only one link in the post, so I don’t know why this is happening. I’ve experimented with increasing the number of links allowed.

I will also consider the code snippet above – thanks for that.

How to insert a Similar message service for bbpress topics?
May be exist Related Posts Plugin or hooks for bbpress topics?

thanks in advance )

If you edit a bbpress topic or reply the corresponding BuddyPress activity entry is not updated. The bug is in includes/extend/buddypress/activity.php lines 507, 645.

Even if revisions are enabled !post_type_supports( bbp_get_reply_post_type(), ‘revisions’ ) is true.

Okay, found a solution (albeit a little janky):

1. Go to the Topic and Reply screens in question (or any screen you want to edit), select “Screen Options” in the top right, then check/uncheck the meta-boxes that you want visible/invisible to your moderators (basically set up the screen to look the way you want moderators to see it)

2. Install the plugIn FV Clone Screen Options

3. Since FV doesn’t clone Screen Options to subscriber accounts (my moderators have the Subscriber WP role and Moderator bbPress role), temporarily give moderators the Contributor WordPress role.

4. Now clone the Screen Options you set up in step one to your Moderators with the FV Clone Screen Options plugin

5. Switch moderators back to the Subscriber WordPress Role

6. Hide the “Screen Options” tab for Subscriber accounts using the Adminimize plugin (found under the plugin’s Global Options > Screen Options), so moderators can’t make those meta-boxes visible again

Bit of a workaround, but seems to have worked.
Only issue is that I will have to remember do this process for any new moderator that gets appointed.

All the best, stay FUNKY!

Hi Guys!

In the blog it states:

> Expect for the next minor release (bbPress 2.6.4) to be released sometime before Christmas 2019.

Any update on that?

Thanks.

[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

Can someone help? This problem hasn’t been solved yet. Users can’t insert links to their posts.

My theme is Avada,
WP version 5.3.2
bbPress 2.6.3
bbp style pack 4.3.8
Image Upload for BBPress 1.1.16
PHP 7.3.9

[irishhealer]

where can we download BBpress 2.6 RC7 as the link on bbpress.org is broken?

Hi, When a moderator edits a Topic in the WordPress Dashboard, there’s a section near the bottom with the Replies in it. However it also reveals user’s email and IP addresses.

Is there a way to hide the emails and IP’s in this section for moderators?
I’ve already hidden IP’s on the front end for mods by editing some code related to the loop-single-reply.php (more info here, thank you Robin).

Or, is there a way to make the Replies box that appears there turned off by default for moderators, under the screen options?

Thank you, Sam

[Mike Witt]

Can someone point me to where the bbPress notification emails are created? For example when someone mentions your @username or lets you know about topics you’ve subscribed to. Is there a template that I can override if I want to change these?

I realize there are plug-ins available to do things like this, but I’m looking to find out what I can do without adding more plug-ins.

Just a pointer to the templates involved is all I’m looking for. Thanks!

All right, I’ll make a post. Usually try everything under the sun to troubleshoot things myself, and I’m usually successful, but this one is giving me fits. I’m importing a phpbb 3.1.9 database into the current release of bbPress. I plugged the MySQL database into my local server (it’s my box, I have full access) and pointed the importer at it. No problems up to that point. It creates users, deletes their default passwords, converts the forums, and then just continually tries the “Calculating forum hierarchy (X of X)” step over and over and over. I’ve tried restarting it, clearing previously-imported data, etc. – no dice.

I can get at whatever files might be necessary to get this working. This is a cluster of a migration on a few levels, so any assistance would be appreciated immensely. 🙂

The text formatting in our bbpress sidebar widget is a bit off and stacks the “keep me logged in” widget. Is there a way to force in on one line? Screenshot

[Vero44]

Hi. I’m importing an SMF forum into bbPress and the import is getting into a loop at step 11. It says:

11.Calculating closed topics (100 through 100 of 100)100%
11.Calculating closed topics (100 through 100 of 100)100%
11.Calculating closed topics (100 through 100 of 100)100%

It seems to be progressing still but only shows that message on repeat.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I know about aravatars. when I turned them on after migration fro phpbb – lost of users got pissed off, and left to other similar forums which provide what our forum does…

But at least buddypress allows uploading the avatar..

IMHO not being able to upload their own avatar.. but having to register and use aravatars.. is a major drawback in otherwise great BBPress

[kriskl]

Hi

I have been using bbpress for a while now. migrating from buddypress.
I have now disabled all buddy press ‘social’ features. And would love to remove it completely.
BUT I need it for user registration/profile..

It seems like in bbpress it is bare minimum.. users can’t even upload avatar from the front end. WordPress wp-admin is disabled to users.

Are the any plans to finally add a useful bbpress user profile module? or plugin recommendations?

Most user profiles plugins that I found with bbpress integration are premium.. meaning, paying every month/year subscriptions

What are you guys using?

thanks
Kris

Hello,

I have created few forums. I’m using “bbp style pack” plugin which lets me to have categories as forum title and forums with that category as parent. I need to hide few forums because I would like to display them on a different page.
Here is what I’ve tried:

ul#forums-list-9201.bbp-forums.bsp-template1{
display:none !important;
}

.forums-list-9201.bbp-forums.bsp-template1{
display:none !important;
}

#bbpress-forums.forums-list-9201.bbp-forums.bsp-template1{
display:none !important;
}

Any idea on what am I doing wrong?

[wpweaver]

Sorry – it was a plugin doing things before bbPress was fully loaded, as you suggested.

I’ve installed the forum on my site and set it up, it’s all working as expected. However if I post a topic, I have to log on to the site to check responses.

Is there a way to get notified by email when replies are added to posts?

Thanks
Alistair

[Robin W]

yes, that’s an issue with 2.6.x where bbpress uses a min file – they are working on a fix, but in the meantime put this in the custom css tab of the style pack plugin

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
	background-color: #fdd !important;
}

[BobHatcher]

I have two questions:

1. Is there a general WordPress plugin that will search the entire site as well as within my discussion forum?

2. Is there a plugin that will search my bbpress discussions that will also search within attachments such as MSWord or PDFs?

Thanks.

Bob

just tested it – seems fine.
