small tweak to not break for users with names that include spaces. the issue was not a permissions one as i posted above.

Hello, at bbPress, the search bar only appears on the general page: forums and search for what you are looking for does not return anything. How to add a search bar within a forum, and how to make the search bar work at least on the general page? Thank you

[phaniv]

I have created a forums page using bbpress, and linked it to my main header menu. Below is the page

https://honingds.com/activity/

I am not sure why the forum page is starting at almost middle of this page. What should I do to make it appear just below the header. I am noob at wordpress and bbpress so please bear with me. My theme is Impreza wordpress theme.

[Robin W]

not sure where ‘groups’ is coming from – youzer, buddypress, not directly a bbpress thing unless you have renamed forums/topics/replies

[Robin W]

sorry, I only provide some of the tools, this is not a design service 🙂

and I’ve no idea whether the site you show is even bbpress.

[aabbhee]

Dear team,
We’re using bbpress plugin along with youzer. The section ‘Groups’ I want to replace with ‘Rides’ As I am developing Riders Community using bbpress.
Also the Create Group, Join Group, Exit Group button text want to change to Ride related titles.

I don’t know what the BBPress Knowledge Base plugin is – where did you get this from ?

[paulhechols]

I am trying to get section descriptions to show up within the employee manual knowledge base I created with the BBPress Knowledge Base plugin. I have multiple sections with multiple articles but nowhere do I see the descriptions I added for sections.

Do I need to modify a PHP file?

Any help is appreciated.

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

[Robin W]

editing users is a wordpress rather than bbpress function

It may well be possible, but the easier way would be to use a wordpress role to do this.

This link will give you code to make the ‘editor’ role able to do user stuff, and you may want to hide admins as per their suggestions

Let Editor Manage Users in WordPress

so you would just set your moderators to be editor as well as moderator

[a7xfanben]

I will need to spend long periods of time away from my site and bbpress forum, and want the Moderators to have the ability to delete users that are clearly just there to spam. I want them to have more than blocking capability and the ability to delete posts and topics.

I have not found much on this topic through searching. I am willing to implement some specific code. If there is something I can edit with Buddypress to allow this, please let me know. However, I don’t want to make the moderators Keymasters – I only want them to have authority over the forums and who uses them.

I would rather use code than a plugin. Not sure if it is simple as adding a line to the bbpress moderator capabilities that allows them to essentially ban Buddypress users.

I can demonstrate if you go to bbpress.org/forums you see this but I would like something more like this I am running astra as a theme if that helps.
Thanks for your help.

Any news on 2.6 it’s on RC 7 now.

It’s been on RC 7 since December of last year. You can check the dev tracker for 2.6 here (still being worked on) –

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/report/5?sort=modified&asc=0&page=1

It was listed at 99%, but now back to 98% as a result of some bugs.

I found out how to fix it by using Multiple Domain plugin. I think the problem might have been the site address url because if i set it to craftnations.ddns.net i cant access the website on my network because i use a different ip to noip so if i have nothing in the site address url i guess the bbpress plugin cant get the response so using Multiple Domain plugin and setting the domains for my network and craftnations it now works. i dont know if that makes sense for you guys but trust me it now works. Thanks for the help and i hope others will find this helpfull. 🙂

I have tried to rename page.php to bbpress.php – didn’t work. I have looked all over forums and I don’t understand why I have 2 inches of blank space to the left of my forums. Pleas help/advise. Thank you.

[Robin W]

can only suggest
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

[frankimc]

Hey. I tried switching to tweentyfifteen (still the error persists) then I tried disabling all plugins except bbpress (still the error persists). What now??

I can create forums and topics and replies manually but I can’t do it through the website. The issue still happens with the Twenty’s themes. and I also tried removing all other plugins. I am local hosting wordpress 5.2.3 using bbpress 2.5.14 and my website is craftnations.ddns.net (If you want to see for yourself). PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Extend bbPress User Profile with bbPress Add-on for Profile Builder Pro

This is excatly what im looking for, maybe just being to do it for free 🙂

[Anonymous User 17557030]

Hi there,

I’m a fresh out of water BBPress user and I have never coded in my life 🙂

We have just set up a BBPress forum on our WordPress website and we are looking into changing what is displayed in the profile section. At the moment it’s Forum Role, Topics Started and Replies Created.
I would like to create custom fields like Company, Job Title, Area, Email, Phone Number and Website to be displayed there.

First of all, I would need to add these sections in Profile Edit tab. Secondly, find a way to display them on the Profile page.

I have to mention, I have found a way to remove Forum Role, Topics Started and Replies Created by editing plugin file bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

Also, I have just noticed that when you visit somebody’s profile page, his name is not displayed there, which would be something i would like to be displayed as well 🙂

Have anyone managed to do things mentioned above, and would be willing to share with the class? 🙂

Many thanks,
Dominik

have you activated the style pack plugin and bbpress, as both should be in the settings

WORDPRESS VERSION [Last checked on September 18, 2019 at 9:48 am. Check Again

BBPRESS VERSION: 2.5.14

home

I am using the bbpress [forum] plugin.
I do not want to use it in its default state. I want to have it maintain my site’s design.
According to what I have read [HERE; https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/ ]

to do so requires me to copy both the bbpress and the css directories
from the default folder and paste it or upload
it into the ‘theme’ directory/ folder.

Thing is I am not quite sure if I ought to paste them [ bbpress & css directories] into the wp-config.php folder
& if so where [in the wp-config.php folder] ? Is it Before or after the present info I see there now?

[Robin W]

I’m presuming you are also

WP v. 5.2.2, bbpress v. 2.5.14. WP is bundled with Bluehost. Theme is OceanWP.
