dashboard>settings>general>date format

bbpress just follows the WordPress format you set, as it presumes you want dates to look the same all over your site

otherwise

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Freshness Display lets you play with how it is displayed

[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.

[Robin W]

it does for bbpress, but I think you are also using bbpress, in which case maybe this

bbp buddypress profile information

Hi,

I have a forum called ‘Introduce Yourself’. Currently the topic archive page on all forums just shows the topic title and a small ‘started by’ avatar underneath. This is fine for most forums but I’d like to show a large avatar to the left of the topic title in the Introduce Yourself forum only.

I found this thread on a similar subject but I’m not sure how to make this work for this one forum only.

Any pointers?

[demonboy]

I’ve set up some FAQs as topics in a closed forum and would like to re-order them. I came across this code:

//* Change sort order of Topics within a specified bbpress forum
function my_custom_display_topic_index_query ($args) {
  $thisforumid = bbp_get_forum_id();

  if($thisforumid == 43135) {
    $args['orderby'] = 'date';
    $args['order']   = 'ASC';
  }

  return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args', 'my_custom_display_topic_index_query '     );

… but when I added it to my functions.php file it hid all the topics (even though at forum archive level it displayed the correct number of topics in the topic count column). Removing it returned my topics.

Any pointers?

we need a date of birth filed in bbpress just like its in buddypress.
so as to display in on the forum. please add it to your upcoming updates or someone should crate a plugin for this.

[josephtersoo1]

This plugin doesn’t work for that, it doesent add to the bbpress profile metadata

[Chuckie]

I noticed during my testing of bbPress that if I move a topic from one forum to another that the freshness doesn’t get refreshed.

Is this a bug or is there a design process I am not aware of?

[Babblebey]

I guess I will be patient for you to test this Robin

$topic = bbp_get_topic_id();
$users = get_users() ;
$count = 0;
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $topic_list = get_usermeta ($user->id, 'wp__bbp_favorites', false) ;
    if (in_array ($topic , $topic_list))  $count++ ;
}
echo $count;

I am getting the error

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given in C:\wamp\www\omna\wp-content\themes\omna2\bbpress\content-single-topic-lead.php on line 134

Thank you for your help. It took me a while to figure out what’s going on. It seems bbPressNotify is the culprit. I once installed this plugin and modified the message with it. But then when I found out it allows forum to notify only one of the three forums unless I pay for the add-on subscription, I deleted the plugin. Apparently it is still in effect. That is why it only sends a notification to the Editor forum with the message I originally defined a long time ago with bbPressNotify. I don’t know how to delete the leftover data of this plugin.

Just for clarification, was bbPress could have done what I need without any plugin? Just recap, what I need is:
We have 3 forums
1) Editor forum (hidden from all) – editors subscribed
2) Contributor forum (hidden from public) – contributors and editors subscribed
3) Subscribers forum (public) – all registered users subscribed
Notification from each forum new post/reply

Did I really need bbP Private Groups plugin, and did I really need notification plugin for sending out notifications, or bbP could have done this without plugins?

Hi,
I have never edited any of our users’ roles. Some users have the bbp_participant role, but not all.
When does this (default) role get assigned?
How can I set all those that have no bbp role?
The checkbox “Automatically give registered visitors the PARTICIPANT forum role ” is checked.

Wordpress 5.2.4.
BBPress 2.5.14

[BCNdsg]

Hi, I’m having this problem after installing bbpress on my website, One day web is working ok and next all pages are showing Error 404, and it all goes back to normal doing a SAVE in Permalinks (without any changes) Any ideas how to fix this?

[junky81]

sorry, i forgot wordpress version 5.2.4
bbpress version 2.5.14

[junky81]

good morning. I have a TWO GREAT PROBLEMS:
1) I noticed that within a category there are not all the forums I created but only the first 50! I would like to know how to increase this limit because I have not found any corresponding entry in any setting
2) I can’t create topics with a “high” number of words because the system loads for a long time and then returns an error and doesn’t save the created topic (I can’t even understand what the limit is). the thing is repeated on different PCs and browsers and instead it does not happen if the topic has a number of words not large. also in this case I have not found options to change this limit. I don’t think this limit could have been set by BBpress because it wouldn’t make any sense.

site http://www.forumunito.it, purchased and installed the Disputo theme (https://themeforest.net/item/disputo-wordpress-bbpress-forum-theme/21584099).

PLEASE HELP ME!

giancarlo from italy (sorry form my english and my lack of technical knowledge)

ps I take this opportunity to ask if it is possible, under the categories I created, not to have the complete list of forums or even to delete the data with the number of posts and replies (0,0) for example.

[Robin W]

as for editing messages

bbPress Custom Notification Emails

[Robin W]

ok, you may need to debug your email system

start with

WP Test Email

then it may be your host provider is stripping emails with many bcc’s in it – some do because of spam, so then look at

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

let us know how you get on

Hi Robin. Thank you for responding.

database size should be no problem

I’m glad to hear that, thank you.

This is a custom convert that is a work in progress.

Forums, Topic, Replies all look good, along with a single word search, but we just noticed this issue with searching more than one word.

Another clue, after enabling debug output, “sometimes” a two word search will give this error:
“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of bytes exhausted in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-includes/post.php on line 2272”

[Robin W]

try

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar{
	display : none ;
}

Thank you for your help! bbPress Notify wants $15 subscription fee for this feature, bbPress Private Group Bridge add-on, which isn’t possible with this non-profit organization site.

I looked hard at bbPress Toolkit but I couldn’t find the way to do this. Any pointer would be appreciated.

[Robin W]

could be many things

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

Then come back

[Robin W]

database size should be no problem.

Since you already have a large bbpress forum, then has this issue just started, always been there, have you converted from another, updated from 2.5.12 ???? some history would be useful

[Robin W]

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

[Robin W]

bbpress version 2 just uses WordPress users, so look at WordPress list members plugins

for instance

Members List Plugin

[Robin W]

this is code from bbpress version 1 – 9 years ago, unlikely to work

[stracy2]

I’m using WordPress 5.2.4, bbPress 2.6 RC 7. I can privately give anyone in-the-know and willing to help a link to a test site.

Symptoms – A search with one word typically works, but a search with more than one word typically gives HTTP error 500. Another symptom, the search first results page isn’t themed.

The symptoms occur with any/all themes, with all plug ins disabled except bbpress.

The symptoms appear like a server resource issue, but this is an AWS machine and more memory/CPU, increasing memory_limit in php.ini, doesn’t change symptoms.

Is there a limit on database size bbPress can handle? The site has roughly 18K users, 100 Forums, 30K Topics, 160K replies.

I’m grateful for any help, direction, diagnostics.
