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

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

[wordik]

There is a bbpress forum. Through the admin panel, I adjust the number of topics and responses to the page on the forum.

Now the admin panel is set to display 5 topics and 5 answers on the page. the number of those regulated, the NUMBER of REPLIES TO the TOPIC NOT REGULATED. IN TOPIC ARE DISPLAYED IMMEDIATELY ALL ANSWERS AND PAGE IS OBTAINED MUCH.

As a result, to reach the last answer you have to scroll through the page with the answers at the bottom.

Can who rebuffed with this problem?

[BigBillT57]

I wish to remove the forum portion of my website. I created the forum using BBPress. How do I remove the forum without creating a mess? I do not want to remove my blog posts or any other content. The blog post show up as forum content as well as blog posts.

I manually removed the forum page, the links to the forum in the headers, and links to the forum in the menus. But then my website would not display. I did not disable or remove the bbPress plugin. I received an error message from GoDaddy that my site had technical difficulties and was not available. I restored my website from a GoDaddy backup and all was well, but I still had the forum.

Thank you.

[JochenSch1]

Has anybody successfully imported a Vbulletin 5.5 board to bbPress?

[demonboy]

Hi,

I have a gallery I would like to add either within the forum description or within a topic but bbpress is not parsing the shortcode. It is not a bbpress shortcode, it comes from a gallery plugin.

How do I enable parsing of other shortcodes within bbpress?

Thanks!

[scmsteve]

Hi @sudar! Thanks for your great work in this regard, and I know this is *really* old now, but I am working on a site that has your bbpress-subscription-in-mandrill plugin installed and am trying to see if it is still necessary, hopefully without breaking anything.

The site is sending things through Mandrill, using the Post SMTP Mailer/Email Log plugin. They are also running a beta of bbPress v2.6. I don’t know if it resolved any of these issues or not.

I am just trying to understand your post above, that you switched to the asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions plugin. Does that mean you are no longer using the one you wrote, and the above one solves all the issues? Any particular notes to be aware of in configuring that plugin vai filters/etc to accomplish the same thing yours has done?

[StormD]

Hi. Can anyone please help me with the code to do this:

change this
[bbp-single-reply id=$reply_id]

to this
[bbp-single-reply id=$topic_id]

or anything that will basically do the same thing. Perhaps just the code to direct a reply form to a topic?

thanks in advance

[Robin W]

This plugin seems to do that and claims bbpress support

I have not tried it, so please come back and let us know if it works

Highlight Search Terms

[Robin W]

which version of bbpress are you using ?

[davec14]

Good Afternoon,

I am currently having an issue with getting my template overrides to work on bbpress pages, like forums and questions( indlucing shortcodes). I have the files located in /wp-content/themes/mytheme/bbpress/ but they are not working. Is there something I have done wrong? Or something I need to do? I am trying to edit loop-forums.php and others.

Many thanks in advance for any help or advice,

Kind regards,

Dave

I would like to remove forum posts from my marketplace forum that haven’t been active for 10 days.
I’ve been looking around online but the only answers I’ve found were from 5+ years ago and don’t work (anymore).

I’ve tried doing it with PHP, and looked around on the bbPress website for developer documentation, but that doesn’t exist yet, and has been under construction for around 5 years according to the Wayback machine.

[StormD]

I’m really not trying to argue, Robin. But, in both initial bbpress setup guides. That format is what is shown. Yet, neither say anything about categories or specify how to get that layout. In layouts and functionality, it does say how to style it.

Can you please tell me how to get to that? I did follow the step by step guide exactly and it returned what I have, not remotely what is pictured.

Also, I still have the archive question. I can’t find anything saying that should be there. I certainly haven’t asked it to be there.

Thanks again.

[StormD]

wow well that’s stupidly embarrassing. This is what I was expecting:

https://buddypress.org/wp-content/uploads/53/2013/11/forum1.jpg

taken from here:

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

Any advice on the archives heading?

Thanks again!
