@sirlouen,

Would you be referring to something like https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-links-in-posts/ ?

[SirLouen]

I’ve been using SMF for a while and I’m trying to transition to bbpress. One of the plugins I liked to use in SMF simply helped to hide outgoing links by replacing the URL with something like:

“To check this link, please register or login first”

Has anyone found anything that can do a similar function in bbpress?

This thing made 10 years ago, is the most approximate thing I’ve found so far

Hide Links

Maybe I can capitalize on that and rewrite something more adequate. Or maybe have build something more advanced in the past decade.

Reading this

Is there an API for bbPress

I see that there is a CPT called “topic”, which is great.

In fact I was thinking if it was possible to create topics from other places using the WP API I have to check this more thoroughly because it’s very interesting.

[SirLouen]

Do you know which CPT are bbpress threads?

Hi @sirlouen,
What you are looking for might be the first setting on your admin (Settings > Forums), so /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress

I have a database in Rainmaker that has bbpress records I am developing a new wordpress website. I need to move the forums, topics and replies out of Rainmaker into the new wordpress mysql database. I tried the import/export function but there are over 500 authors and the records don’t match up. Does the Forum function under tools allow you to move from one bbpress to another. The only option I saw was bbpress1.

[stracy2]

Can someone else confirm that importing a post where the content contains brackets [] causes the custom importer to hang (get stuck actually)?

Hello all,

I am using BuddyPress with bbPress and I am noticing an issue when I have a forum topic with multiple pages. When I add a new reply it creates a BuddyPress activity that stores in the DB a primary_link of the type /forums/topic/topic-name/page/XX/#post-YYYY. For example /forums/topic/test-notification-for-reply/page/2/#post-3063

The problem is that if I delete some previous replies from page 1 and this reply moves to the first page from the second page it was previously, its activity permalink (primary_link) remains the same and the activity still points to page 2 of the topic (not page 1 that is its new page).

Is there any fix for this?

Hello,

I understand that since bbPress 2.5.4, it only sends a single email with all the recipients. We have about 1,000 subscribers. Our hosting level allows 800 emails per hour quota. When we post a forum topic to all subscribers, many of them don’t receive it. I’ve filed two help requests to the host and they indicate that we are exceeding the allowed quota. I don’t understand how the forum emails are exceeding the limit. Any assistance or advice that we might receive would be very greatly appreciated!

OK, I think I have solved this by following this thread, except I had to do one thing the other way around…

1. Scrap User Role Editor and install the Members plugin by Justin Tadlock
2. Don’t put anything in your functions file
3. In WordPress under Users/Roles, clone the Participant user role and give it a name and slug (in my case I am using ‘bosun’) and save the new role.
4. Add this code to your functions file:

function vip_add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {

$bbp_roles['bosun'] = array(
'name' => 'Bosun',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);

return $bbp_roles;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'vip_add_custom_role', 1 );

… where bbp_roles and name is changed to your own name of the user role. This must be the same as the name/slug you inserted when cloning the participant user role.

5. Now any forum user assigned this user role will display the correct role, rather that ‘participant’ ‘subscriber’ or ‘spectator’.

The thing I had to do the other way around from the instructions in the other thread was to not put anything in the functions file and install the plugin first.

Phew. Took me two days to get there!

Hi,

I attempted to create some new bbp roles using the code in the codex to copy the ‘participant’ role. Unfortunately this did not work for me despite deactivating all plugins (seems quite a few other people had the same issue).

Instead I am using User Role Editor to create a new forum role, which I have called ‘bosun’. Upon sign-up a new user is correctly assigned this role and has the capabilities of a participant, which is great, but their forum role is still displaying as ‘spectator’.

I would like to display the user’s role under the avatar.

One thing I can do is display:none the div class bbp-author-role and then add in a new div to display the user_role, which I think is what URE plugin generates.

I appreciate that some of this has to do with the URE plugin and that it is not supported here. What I am trying to understand is what I need to change in order to hide the bbp-author-role div and add in a new div calling the URE role. I can only find references to bbp-author-role in templates.php which is a function:

function bbp_topic_author_role( $args = array() ) {
	echo bbp_get_topic_author_role( $args );
}
	/**
	 * Return the topic author role
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3860)
	 *
	 * @param array $args Optional.
	 * @uses bbp_get_topic_id() To get the topic id
	 * @uses bbp_get_user_display_role() To get the user display role
	 * @uses bbp_get_topic_author_id() To get the topic author id
	 * @uses apply_filters() Calls bbp_get_topic_author_role with the author
	 *                        role & args
	 * @return string topic author role
	 */
	function bbp_get_topic_author_role( $args = array() ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'topic_id' => 0,
			'class'    => 'bbp-author-role',
			'before'   => '',
			'after'    => ''
		), 'get_topic_author_role' );

		$topic_id    = bbp_get_topic_id( $r['topic_id'] );
		$role        = bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) );
		$author_role = sprintf( '%1$s<div class="%2$s">%3$s</div>%4$s', $r['before'], $r['class'], $role, $r['after'] );

		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_author_role', $author_role, $r );
	}

Is the “UNREAD FORUM TOPICS” not part of bbPress’s default functionality?

correct

[PDidee]

Issue seems to be the Mark as Read plugin. In fact that section doesn’t even show up under subscriptions until that plugin is activated?! Is the “UNREAD FORUM TOPICS” not part of bbPress’s default functionality?

[Robin W]

as a test can you try with just bbpress and private groups, as if that is ok, add the others back until you find which one is allowing this

[PDidee]

Not using Buddy Press.

Here is a list of the bbPress related plugins that are installed currently:
– AccessAlly – bbPress Add-on
– bbP private groups
– bbPress – Mark as Read
– bbPress – Moderation Tools
– bbPress Notifications
– bbPress Notify (No-Spam)
– bbPress Profile Link Shortcode
– bbPress Search Widget
– bbPress Toolkit
– bbPress Unread Posts

[Robin W]

are you also using buddypress?
and what other bbpress related plugins are you using ?

[PDidee]

We have a site using bbPress and the Private groups plugin. Users are assigned to specific forums by groups but for some reason under their profile page under the “Subscriptions” tab they are able to see topics under “Unread Forum Topics” to forums they should not have access to. They can also click on these topics and access that topic.

Is there away to restrict the topics they see to ONLY the ones they have permission to view according to their private group settings?

[Eddie Nguyen]

I am close to setting up my ecommerce website forum but I want to have all my categories in one forum.

Is this possible with bbpress?

[demonboy]

Thanks, Robin, and thank you for your (free) support on the bbpress forums. Appreciated.

[Big Dog]

I’m not to sure on how to create sub forums under forums.
Example: Forum – Operating Systems. Sub Forums – Windows, Linux, Apple, Android
Under these you would have your Topics which would contain the threads of that particular topic.
Can this be accomplished in BBPress or Would you need to create multiple forums to cover the same interest?

If we are limited to Forum – Topic and Thread, can the member/user not show up as the creator of topic.
Just saying if you could sub divide forums to include multiple sub forums each containing their own topics and threads.

Thanks

[Robin W]

If you just want to remove it from the list then you could amend loop-single-forum.php

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

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, 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-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

change it to (assuming 40250 is the fiorum id)

<?php

/**
 * Forums Loop - Single Forum
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

if ( !bbp_get_forum_id() == '40250')) {
?>

<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" <?php bbp_forum_class(); ?>>

	<li class="bbp-forum-info">

		<?php if ( bbp_is_user_home() && bbp_is_subscriptions() ) : ?>

			<span class="bbp-row-actions">

				<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

				<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link( array( 'before' => '', 'subscribe' => '+', 'unsubscribe' => '&times;' ) ); ?>

				<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

			</span>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_title' ); ?>

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_title' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_description' ); ?>

		<div class="bbp-forum-content"><?php bbp_forum_content(); ?></div>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_description' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_sub_forums' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_sub_forums' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_forum_row_actions(); ?>

	</li>

	<li class="bbp-forum-topic-count"><?php bbp_forum_topic_count(); ?></li>

	<li class="bbp-forum-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_forum_reply_count() : bbp_forum_post_count(); ?></li>

	<li class="bbp-forum-freshness">

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_forum_freshness_link(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

		<p class="bbp-topic-meta">

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_author' ); ?>

			<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author' ); ?>

		</p>
	</li>

</ul><!-- #bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?> -->

<?php } ?>

Not tested but should work, if not then might be another bbpress plugin overwriting the template – come back

[wordik]

I downloaded and installed bbPress-Sort topic replies, it changes the sort. Page-by navigation did not appear, in topics all messages are displayed at once.

[Robin W]

I would suggest you reverse the order for answers, as pagination will not solve it.

This may work

bbPress – Sort topic replies

[dirtydy2]

No. Every attempt I made to migrate to 4.0 and then to bbpress failed as well. I just kept my 5.0 and will never use them again on any site. All my other sites I use wpForo on. It is virtually the same and much better than bbpress, which is a solid forum option in itself.

[Robin W]

enable bbpress

then

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

Then decativate and delete bbpress and any dependent plugind
