Half solution

use the value = “Guest” in the file form-anonymous.php – from the template bbpress add to the field name and some to the field enalil type value = “guest@guest.com”

Well, how would you exclude obligatory these fields and at least exclude the obligatory email field. But I do not know how yet.

I don’t know why bbpress has micro small avatars??? Is it from a time when the internet was dial up? How can I make the Avatar images larger on all the forums posts and all places it shows up.

I think this plugin has that

bbPress Toolkit

It works with current versions of wordpress and bbpress

[privatec2]

Hi,
I have setup a WordPress site with bbPress and trying to find if I can manually Subscribe/Unsubscribe users to particular Forums or Topics,
Or is it even possible to at least see what the Forum Participants/Users have subscribed to?
Thanks,

[Robin W]

@danishsard

some great people wrote bbpress software for free, spent many many hours writing code, getting feedback, improving and supporting it – all for free and they did this for many years.

In the background they do work on bbpress form time to time.

That they now are mainly doing other things is sad for us, but they have a perfect right to do as they wish, and should feel under no obligation to spend time supporting the code.

Similarly I have written a number of plugins that do stuff in bbpress, and I support these as I am able to and when I have free time. I also do some support on here. But this is all voluntary, and there will come a time when I no longer wish to do so.

There are a number of things that bbpress could do differently – what you call ‘should be repaired’ – but that is just your view on how it should work, and no-one is under any obligation to do anything – that is how OSF software works.

I can replicate your issue of a non existent page, and when I get some time I may (or may not) look at how to fix this.

But please be thankful that free code is out there and make the most of what it does, not resentful of what it does not do.

Hi there,

i have installed the plugin topics for posts,
but the system didnt created a topic for each of my posts (in particular listing items),
in order to create them i have to modify each of the listing item – otherwise it doesnt not activate that option.

As this is a very long procedure (i have around 900 listing items) does anyone knows how i can do this kind of work in less time…is there any bulk option?

One more thing, each listing items has a category (which i already created also in the forum).
Can i automatically assign that category respectively the forum topic for each item?

For example:

Item: “Ford – Focus” (category: “Ford) -> Create and assign this topic to the forum: “Ford”

I know it possibile to do it singolary, i need this kind of option in bulk.

thank you for your help.

Andreas

look also at the fact that when something is waiting to zakoppetowania no information about this information – the icon in the administration panel. Likewise, in the dashboard, I do not write hidden posts if there are any in automatic moderation. Many sayings do not work in bbpress

Only you still answer – the rest of the people went away and forgot about bbpress for years from what you see.

Hello,

I’m using Learndash and bbpress, my client wanst to have an intro forum where their users will have to make short video and upload in the thread. Is there a way to not host those videos on the site but elsewhere like vimeo or youtube automatically?

[Danishsard]

1. Set yourself in the discussion settings word that requires checking, for example: “www” then you would like to use the topic as a guest on bbpress with this word – you will be redirected to a non-existent page

2. It does not work, for example, in the settings of the discussion so as not to require an email and signature from users – in the forum and so it is required despite not marking it in the discussion options.

Also, moderation does not work if you have 1 link or more to the forum just d comments

[Robin W]

Error – when wordpress can be used for the wordpress discussion. Someone will send a new topic with these words – it is automatically redirected to a non-existent page – this is a forum bug.

can you describe an exact series of stepsto get this error – I do not understand

The entire wordpress discussion settings should also work bbpress – and not just selected elements – that would increase the functionality of the forum at zero cost.

zero cost ?? – just a massive recode of bbpress taking many many hours!!! What bit is missing ?

[Danishsard]

Hello, the bbpress plugin is not updated anymore

Error – when wordpress can be used for the wordpress discussion. Someone will send a new topic with these words – it is automatically redirected to a non-existent page – this is a forum bug.

The entire wordpress discussion settings should also work bbpress – and not just selected elements – that would increase the functionality of the forum at zero cost.

When someone writes a new post or subject with moderation after the settings in the wordpress discussion – it should be displayed to him the same as comments but invisible lda others because it is in the browser cache.

………

If you do not do anything with bbpress then you can do a premium help department to make money on it, probably it is the reason that there are no pforits for years abandoning it yourself. You can also enter the ads on bbpres.org, something that would be there too, it is sad that this project is practically forgotten by the creators and not revised.

Hi @robin-w!

First, thanks for the reply.

I’ve tried that plugin before. And I’ve already tried this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

But both do not have the configuration I need.

Regards!

[Robin W]

best I can suggest is

bbPress – Moderation Tools

[stagemedifirst]

Hello, I’m creating a forum as most of you.
I face a difficulty in navigate in the forum, the first page with the forum index,
[bbp-forum-index] is well integrate in a divi page but when I click on a forum I directly lost all the presentation of web pages.
That means that I no longer control the presentation behind the forum and that is a design problem.
If anyone has a clue feel free to share it please, I’ll be granted !

[Igor]

Hi guys,

First of all, thank you for the great work with bbPress.

So… Somebody can help me, please?

I want to know if there’s a way to apply the WordPress Comments Administration rules ( https://wordpress.org/support/article/comments-in-wordpress/#comment-administration) to the Guest Posting (not anonymous) rules of the bbPress (with name and e-mail fields).

In the WordPress Comments System there’s this option that i want:

“Comment author must have a previously approved comment: This option will allow you to cut down on the number of comments you have to approve. Once you approve one comment by an author, their future comments will be automatically approved.”

Link: https://wordpress.org/support/article/comments-in-wordpress/#comment-administration

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
When we set up words in the wordpress discussion panel, which when poast / topic will go to moderation, there are problems.

1. Post how someone will write what will go to moderation – it is not displayed for this guest – it should be otherwise will be sent to him to get it – can it be somehow fixed? Just a message about something like that.

2. when someone types a topic – it displays an empty page 404 with a dynamic address that does not have such a page – it’s a total logical error of the forum – it should move it to the list of topics in this forum section or also zoabaczyć (the same as comments that is the topic for moderation)

Can you fix it somehow, but without plugins?

[Danishsard]

Robin – how to omit Dispaly: none and use the same 65% along with deleting the entries from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/removing-1-post-1-voice-from-view/ it looks good.

Thank you very much for help in this topic. Actually these are two different classes on pages. Thanks!

[techiebraj]

‘Even though bbPress’ documentation says that users with the Participant role can read private forums and topics, the current version of bbPress (2.5.14) allows participants to read private forum names, but not private topics names or content. ‘

sorry, can you explain further – what is not showing on what page ?

[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.

Then come back

[Robin W]

the templates are in

\templates\default\bbpress

[ojmorales0002]

Hello all,

The social links menu displays icons only on a WordPress (version 5.2.2) site using the Twenty Seventeen theme (version 2.2), except on pages of bbPress (version 2.5.14) where it displays icons and text.

The url of the site is Prepare.Survive.Live

Any ideas of how to address this?

Thanks!

Does anyone know the correct way to enable the participant role to read private topics? I found a bit of a work around (see below). But I’d like to know how to enable it correctly.

Even though bbPress’ documentation says that users with the Participant role can read private forums and topics, the current version of bbPress (2.5.14) allows participants to read private forum names, but not private topics names or content.

I did some searching on this site and it looks like people have been complaining and notifying bbPress about this bug for about seven years and it’s STILL not fixed. The most support help I’ve seen is someone saying the issue is because of another plugin. But that’s not the case.

I checked the bbPress code in the capabilities.php file located in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.php, and sure enough, the capability to ‘read_private_topics’ is not listed under the Participant’s Topic Caps section:

// Participant/Default
case bbp_get_participant_role() :
default :
$caps = array(

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,

// Forum caps
‘read_private_forums’ => true,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => true,
‘edit_topics’ => true,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,

// Topic tag caps
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

I tried adding the ‘read_private_topics’ capability to the Participant capabilities section:

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => true,
‘edit_topics’ => true,
‘read_private_topics’ => true,

But that didn’t work. So then I tried copying and pasting all the capabilities from the Moderator role to the participant role, including the first part of the code under the “Primary Caps” section that lists spectate, participate, moderate, throttle, and view trash.

// Moderator
case bbp_get_moderator_role() :
$caps = array(

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,
‘moderate’ => true,
‘throttle’ => true,
‘view_trash’ => true,

// Forum caps
‘publish_forums’ => true,
‘edit_forums’ => true,
‘read_private_forums’ => true,
‘read_hidden_forums’ => true,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => true,
‘edit_topics’ => true,
‘edit_others_topics’ => true,
‘delete_topics’ => true,
‘delete_others_topics’ => true,
‘read_private_topics’ => true,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,
‘edit_others_replies’ => true,
‘delete_replies’ => true,
‘delete_others_replies’ => true,
‘read_private_replies’ => true,

// Topic tag caps
‘manage_topic_tags’ => true,
‘edit_topic_tags’ => true,
‘delete_topic_tags’ => true,
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

And it worked! Participants could then read private topics. However, it meant that they had the exact same capabilities as moderators, which defeats the purpose of having those two different user roles. And I don’t want to make all participant users moderators. So I kept the moderator capabilities under the Participant section, however, any of the moderator capabilities that I didn’t want the participant to have, I changed it from “true” to “false.” For example, I do not want participants to be able to edit others’ topics, so I changed this part of the code:

‘edit_others_topics’ => true,

To this:

‘edit_others_topics’ => false,

That worked. However, the button to edit others’ topics still show up for the participant, but if they click on it, either nothing happens or they get an error message saying they don’t have that privilege.

The first time I tried this I deleted most of the first section, called Primary Caps:

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,
‘moderate’ => true,
‘throttle’ => true,
‘view_trash’ => true,

But when I did that, it didn’t work again. It seems like the “‘moderate’ = > true,” part has to stay there in order for this work around to work.

So in conclusion, the participant caps section was replaced with this code:

// Participant/Default
case bbp_get_participant_role() :
default :
$caps = array(

// Primary caps
‘spectate’ => true,
‘participate’ => true,
‘moderate’ => true,

// Forum caps
‘publish_forums’ => false,
‘edit_forums’ => false,
‘read_private_forums’ => true,
‘read_hidden_forums’ => false,

// Topic caps
‘publish_topics’ => true,
‘edit_topics’ => true,
‘edit_others_topics’ => false,
‘delete_topics’ => false,
‘delete_others_topics’ => false,
‘read_private_topics’ => true,

// Reply caps
‘publish_replies’ => true,
‘edit_replies’ => true,
‘edit_others_replies’ => false,
‘delete_replies’ => false,
‘delete_others_replies’ => false,
‘read_private_replies’ => true,

// Topic tag caps
‘manage_topic_tags’ => false,
‘edit_topic_tags’ => false,
‘delete_topic_tags’ => false,
‘assign_topic_tags’ => true,
);

So that’s a work around for now. But I’d still like to know: When is bbPress going to fix this bug issue? And if they have already (and I’ve just missed it somehow): How do I correct it so that the participant user role can read private topics? If anyone has any ideas, can you please leave a DETAILED reply below, including WHERE to find the files that need to be altered. (Ex: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/capabilities.php. I noticed that many people in this forum don’t really write down all the steps to fix things, which causes more confusion.)
