since bbpress just uses the WordPress avatar system, then anything that allows users to upload should work
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/avatar/
simple local avatar looks like it is worth looking at
WP Version 5.2.4
bbPress Version 2.5.14
bbp style pack Version 4.3.2
With bbp style, I have tried the Gravatar option for User’s avatars.
It seems it will be too complicated for many.
What is the best option to setup self-uploads for avatars for the forum?
And, to change out the default avatar for the forum with a custom one?
The only difference I’ve found between pure SMF and WP + bbPress is in the replies and as you can see there’s a difference between user info in the start of a topic, and in the reply.
If you look at https://www.svenskaflippersallskapet.com/index.php?topic=26595.0 (correct)
and compare with https://svenskaflippersallskapet.com/devo/forums/topic/lincade-onsdags-oppet/ (the reply differs).
I will look more into this and see if I can find other faults, but as for now, this is the only.
private forums overrides bbpress, and you would simply need to make any ‘hidden’ forums only accessible to a group that say contains admins.
I think this still works
Remove Private: label prefix
Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use
Code Snippets
‘topics’ and ‘replies’ are bbpress, ‘posts’ are WordPress.
What exactly do you mean by ‘posts’?
ok, the code works in my test site, so a reply edit admin link show ‘hello’ instead of ‘Edit’.
If this is not the case, 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’ve been converting from SMF (>2.0) to bbPress(2.5.14) and got it working – except for the fact that the correct user is displayed in topics, but not in posts.
In the database, the table smf_members has the column “id_member”, and wp_users has the column “ID”. The pivot-table wp_usermeta has the connection between these two id:s, but as I’ve described, the connection seems lost when looking at info about posts.
Any thoughts on how to solve this?
Correction, As soon as “bbPress private forums” is Activated…
As soon as “bbPress private forums” is enabled, all “Hidden” forums are listed (visible), even when “Click to activate forum visibility” is off.
For my use case, I’d like to use the “Remove Private prefix” option, but no other options are needed.
Hello everyone.
I am looking for some help here.
I am trying to migrate a rather large forum from phpbb to bbpress using the bbpress importer.
I filled the details with the right database information and started the import.
However, it keeps showing me an error and does not let me import anything.
When I click on “start” the import, it inmediately shows this text:
Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘topics.topic_replies’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(topics.topic_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_id,convert(topics.topic_replies USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_replies,convert(topics.topic_replies_real USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_replies_real,convert(topics.forum_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS forum_id,convert(topics.topic_poster USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_poster,convert(posts.poster_ip USING “utf8mb4”) AS poster_ip,convert(posts.post_text USING “utf8mb4”) AS post_text,convert(topics.topic_title USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_title,convert(topics.topic_status USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_status,convert(topics.topic_type USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_type,convert(topics.topic_time USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_time,convert(topics.topic_last_post_time USING “utf8mb4”) AS topic_last_post_time FROM phpbbli_topics AS topics INNER JOIN phpbbli_posts AS posts USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id = topics.topic_first_post_id LIMIT 0, 100
No topics to convertNo forum parents to convert
It only shows that text and does not import anything. All user accounts are existing inside my phpbb database.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how can I solve this in order to make the import?
Thank you.
ok, the existing function is
function bbp_get_topic_post_date( $topic_id = 0, $humanize = false, $gmt = false ) {
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
// 4 days, 4 hours ago
if ( !empty( $humanize ) ) {
$gmt_s = !empty( $gmt ) ? 'U' : 'G';
$date = get_post_time( $gmt_s, $gmt, $topic_id );
$time = false; // For filter below
$result = bbp_get_time_since( $date );
// August 4, 2012 at 2:37 pm
} else {
$date = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $gmt, $topic_id, true );
$time = get_post_time( get_option( 'time_format' ), $gmt, $topic_id, true );
$result = sprintf( _x( '%1$s at %2$s', 'date at time', 'bbpress' ), $date, $time );
}
return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_post_date', $result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time );
}
so we can filter this as follows :
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_post_date' , 'rew_date' , 10 , 6) ;
function rew_date ($result, $topic_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time) {
$result = 'hello' ;
return $result ;
}
This should then say ‘hello’ so all we want to do is change $result to read whatever you want – so what do you want it to say ?
Hi All,
I am searching for a while if I can manage to solve the issue.
I have now solve the issue with “the reply form will show underneath of the reply when users click the reply button of it” with previous articles.
how to create dynamic reply-box
Still, I am looking for this issue below;
Topic
— reply 1
— reply 1-1
— reply 1-2
— reply 2
As above, when I click the reply button on “reply 1-1”, the reply form will show up as I wish to.
Still, when I click the reply button on “Topic”, it still scroll down (or I should say jump down) to the reply form at the bottom of the page.
When the topic is getting deeper, users would like to reply to it with reading & checking the content.
I my case, deeper topics are really hard to reply, since it will jump down to the bottom.
My question will be…,
1) Is there any way to solve this issue?
2) Is this the “normal” and there is no way to fix it?
If anyone know how to do this or know the answer, please let me know.
Thank you for your reply in advance.
I have been doing that from the start of the whole process of the project, I have all the bbpress templates copied over to my theme directory, I am doing an edit on exactly all the template.
But the bbp_topic_post_date('d M, Y') doesn’t work is the thing.
ok looks like you are going to need to get familiar with the templates and some coding then
In essence you need to copy some templates across to your child theme, and then amend them
You can copy all the templates across, but you only need to copy those that you want to change, and it is better just to do this, as then you know which you have altered.
so if you wanted to amend loop-single-forum you would do the following
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
visbility hidden should make a forum only visible to moderators and keymasters
If you are not seeing that then it could be a theme or plugin issue

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
Yep, that’s great. Thanks again, Robin.
If anyone else is interested, in addition to the above code placed in functions.php, I amended loop-single-topic.php in my child theme thus:
<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?>
<?php $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
if (( $forum_id == 41371) ){
?>
- <?php echo bbp_get_topic_author(); ?></a>
<?php
}
else {?>
</a>
<?php
}?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_title' ); ?>
<?php bbp_topic_pagination(); ?>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_meta' ); ?>
<p class="bbp-topic-meta">
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by' ); ?>
<?php $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
if (( $forum_id == 41371) ){
?>
<?php
}
else {?>
<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>
<?php
}?>
This selects a specific forum and within that forum it removes the ‘started by’ meta info that normally appears under the title. Instead it places the topic author’s display name (not user name) as an extension of the topic title, separated by a hyphen. The link to the author is removed and instead becomes part of the link to the topic.
I’m trying to add Korean translation that ovveride the english. I created the po and mo files as instructed and added them in the bbpress language folder using FTP. But nothing changed on the front-end? Any idea what caused this?
Here is what I called my files:
bbpress-ko_KR.po
bbpress-ko_KR.mo
I am just about to install the bbPress and testing how it works. Out of the box, does bbPress allow for adding attachments (pdfs, docs, and image files? Emoji and post preview are also things we are looking to add … does bbPress comes with it or do we need to look into Plugins?

I was told by the ISP that I need to slow down the sending rate. Is there any plugin for this? If bbPress Notify (No Spam) is the only one then I need to pay for the subscription for the Private Group Bridge add-on, which I would like to avoid since this site is non-profit and I am paying everything from my pocket. Hope there is another solution.
Hi Robin,
If you instead go to Dashboard>Forums>Edit and a set “Visibility” to “Hidden”, the forum is still visible (listed) to a user with the Forum Role of “Participant” (although they cannot visit the forum).
Can you confirm? This isn’t the expected, default bbPress behavior for a “Hidden” forum according to forum visibility documentation.
By “default” I mean bbPress without “bbp Private Forums” installed. I understand you are the author (awesome job!). If “Hidden” actually hid a forum, I wouldn’t require “bbp Private Forums” and I’d skip the need to donate to you :).
if that code does what you want then just use the same logic you did in
How to reorder topics in one forum?

}
}

WP 5.2.4 . BBP2.5.14 . I want to have my user’s comments on a post appear in the forum with perhaps the topic being the post title, rather than having a huge long list of post comments after every post. There used to be aplugin that would do this very neatly, bbPress Topics for WordPress plugin, but it has not been updated for several years. it seems like this is a problem that somwone would have solved but i cannot find a solution. Any help is appreciated.
