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

[Chris]

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. 🙂

[Robin W]

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

The Best Alternative For WangGuard With Scaled Protection

[randrcomputers]

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

[Robin W]

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 ?

[Robin W]

the theme for bbpress is here

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base

[Robin W]

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

[Robin W]

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

Hi, I would like to hide user’s IP addresses from moderators, but keep them visible for keymasters.
Searching this topic I found solutions to hide the IP addresses for everyone, but not to keep it visible for keymasters.
Any ideas?

Thank you,

Just found a plugin that does it for BuddyPress but presume it won’t work for BBPress out of the box:

rtMedia Activity URL Preview

[Dale Reardon]

Did anyone figure this out?
Also when an url is posted into a topic or reply I would love BBPress to automatically turn it into a link using the title of the referenced page as the anchor text – I have seen this done with plugins for BuddyPress but not BBPress.

Dale.

I deactivated the Beaver Builder plugin and it worked :-/ My entire site is built with Beaver Builder and switching is not an option. I wonder if anyone has figured out how to make BB work with bbPress?

[Robin W]

presuming that is what is set in the forums settings, then it could be a theme or plugin issue

Hi,
Depending on the setting options, when a response is awaiting moderation it is not visible on the site window, which is normal … despite this, the name of the member who posted the response is already visible, as well as the check-in time, which causes confusion for the user.
It seems that this appeared on the last versions of bbpress.
Any idea for a solution?
