Hello, I’m trying to reduce the size of the images posted in the forums and replies, but I just found answers in this forum, from 6 years ago or more, that applies too for the embed and width of video contents. I just see very old answers with classes that don’t even exist in bbpress.

So I ask for a recent or valid answer, how can I change the size of videos and images in the post?

Thanks.

I have taken over an aviation club website from a guy that had stuff spread all over the place.
I’m trying to centralize so that I and those after me can easily manage the site.

I would like to move his phpbb forum to BBPress so I can protect some sections of the forum using MemberPress.

I used Fivvr to try to get it transferred but the guy didn’t really know what he was doing.

I have a phpbb backup and need help migrating.

As an extra challenge, I have a backup from a Yahoo Groups and Facebook group that I would love to migrate into BBPress as well.

This is a small aircraft owner site with less than about 400 members so my budget is not large, but I would like to work with someone to get it done.

http://stinsonowners.org is the site. where you can see the Fivvr developer got data into BBPress but its not right.

My direct email is will.ware@me.com if you can help.

I’m trying to figure out how to add shortcodes/bbcode to my bbpress website. I used to do this a lot with phpbb, but I can’t figure out how to do it with bbpress.

I want my users to be able to type in [card]Serra Angel[/card] and have the posted code be <div class=”card”>Serra Angel</div>.

How can I add this? Ideally, it would reside in forum posts as button, much like the LINK IMG CODE etc buttons.

Hi,

I’m looking for insight into a bbPress point/reward system that can be setup with triggers (like posts, replies, post ratings) and the option to use these points to actually redeem physical items on the backend.

In short, I don’t want a points system that simply hands out badges and titles, but give members the ability to actually participate and use the points they earn to order items like backpacks, giftcards and other items of value under $100.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

I have two sites with bbpress and several other WP sites with no bbpress forum….On these two sites my comments get disabled automatically after a few days, so people cant comment anymore….
I could not figure out what is this happening. I suspected themes, other plugins, but what these two sites had in common is your plugin….

So why is your plugin doing this? It ticks the box under setting/discussion

Why is this happening, after disabling bbpres on both sites, comments stay open…..I had my comments disabled for few months, I did not even notice and users could not comment at all….

try bbPress Topics for Posts
I am using it – works well.

Also take note of: this support topic

Sorry guys – it was my mistake, filename was wrong bbpress[blank].css

[Barry]

Using 2.6-rc-7 (and testing against Twenty Seventeen) I don’t seem to experience the same problem: if I locate a copy of that same stylesheet within:

themes/twentyseventeen/css/bbpress.css

It is loaded as expected, instead of the default version.

Hello all.

I have done a fair bit of research on this topic already and have made some progress.

I have managed to get the BBPress importer working on a few occasions (using localhost and also remotely) and I know it’s working because it starts converting the users, then moves on to forums, topics etc.

I did actually manage one full successful import, not sure how exactly but since then I’ve been struggling.

I had to manually create the following blank columns just to get the importer started:

USERS
user_website
user_aim
user_yim
user_icq
user_msnm
user_occ
user_interests
user_from

TOPICS
topic_replies
topic_replies_real

FORUMS
forum_recent_topics
forum_topics
forum_posts
forum_topics_real

More recently the importer just seems to be getting stuck.

I have 1333 users in my forum, after the importer has converted all the users (1300-1399) it just stops. It does actually import all the users correctly but then it doesn’t move on to the next task.

When I don’t include users, it converts the forums and hierarchy, but then freezes on converting topics (0-99).

It just doesn’t seem to be working smoothly.

I am contemplating upgrading the forum from phpbb 3.1.9 to 3.2 using this guide:
https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3.2/ug/upgradeguide/upgrade31/

Tt seems like a lot of work and I’m not sure it will make such a difference with regards to this task.

If anybody has faced any similar issues doing this import (freezing at certain points, not moving on to the next task etc).

Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

Thanks
Antony

Found the Option.
Need the Stylepack form bbpress and going to Design -> Widgets -> Tag-Cloud (Taxonomie: Topic Tags).

Thx in advance

[pofferson]

Hello fellows and fellerias,

iam pretty new to bbpress, looked at the blog/support, and couldnt find a solution for my problem.
I need to install a field at the homepage (www.pro-heilpraxis.vital-life.de), where all the Topic Tags are shown like the tags on this website (left field, with the big and small “tags” to show.)

I want to insert it in the sidebar, but couldnt find any plugin for it. Is there a simple solution for it ?

WP 5.2
bbPress 2.5.14-6684.

[antonv]

Hi guys, I am developing a website using 2.6-rc-7, and changing the default look of bbpress. (paged and threaded replies with alternating gray white backgrounds)

I have one problem the style sheet located .../theme/ccs/bbpress.css is not loaded,

I ended up in putting the css code into the theme style and deleting the default styles of the plugin.

This is either a bug in 2.6-rc-7 or I am missing some coding finesse to make this happen. Any ideas?

WP 5.2, PHP 7.1,

PS. bbp 2.5.14 does not have above problem.

I think I may have fixed it. Time to run another import. I’ve made the following changes to the import script.

So I’m converting a forum that was originally written in Coldfusion. I have imported the data into MySQL and thought I had the forum converting correctly (all the threads were imported). However it seems like replies were added as topics and not joined with the topic they were associated with. I’ve banged my head against this problem and now have to ask for help from people who know much more than I do. In exchange I will buy you a coffee or dinner 🙂

Here’s a screenshot of the database I’m importing from

and the result

Here is my importing script

Hi All,
I am setting up a site to help me learn, so all this is very new to me so apologies for the silly questions if it seems straight forward to others,
My Site is: martialartsavenue.com
I am using AVADA themed WordPress, vers 5.9.1
I have several plugins installed, including BBpress Version 2.5.14 and BuddyPress Version 4.3.0.

Steps to Troubleshoot:
-Spent hours on Google looking for other occurances and found several reports from years ago, and code suggestions, however i do not know how to code and scared it will cause more harm,
-I tried disabling BuddyPress plugins but still no difference.
-Tried creating a noreply@martialartsavenue.com email address in case anything was being sent to that, and confirmed nothing recieved.
-I checked with my host- siteground that they couldn’t see anything being blocked on their Mail systems, nothing appearing to be the cause on their side.
-Tried finding settings where i can add/modify email addresses or Enable/Disable who gets what and can not find.

So, I would like to know, is there any fixes for this, or are others getting it as well
-Any other suggestions I could try to fix it with?
-Also, is the Site Admin meant to also get a copy of an email to all new Topics, or just the Creators?
thanks,

[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

Is there anything available that adds a simple “like” to bbPress, without a lot of additional functionality?

I found a lot of older posts about this, and a number of plugins. But with the exception of “likeBTN” all of the plugins appear not to have been maintained for a long time.

Hi,

After activating bbpress, first time use and install, i get these errors in the admin/backend area:

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in ***/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/capabilities.php on line 80

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in ***/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/capabilities.php on line 62

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at ***/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/capabilities.php:80) in ***/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 1196

I have tried to deactivate all plugins exept bbpress but still get this error.

I tried to create a forum but got a bunch og other errors, same kind and the admin area is not vissible, had to go back a step and deactivate bbpress to get the admin area back.

Site is not live yet, under dev.

Ideas/feedback on what might cause this would be great 🙂

When users share topics to Twitter or Facebook, the featured image or image pulled for the post is the avatar of the OP. After trying several plugins to get it to use a default featured image (yoast seo, twitter cards meta, complete open graph, wpsso core, are a few examples), none of them helped shared topics to display a default featured image on social media posts.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

I have a legacy version of BBPress (0.9.0.2). I was going to migrate to the WordPress version, but that seems difficult plus mine isn’t a WordPress website.

I’d like to ask for your advice: is it safe, security wise to keep this old version of BBPress? What could happen? I have activated several plugins, including the Human Test to keep a tight control over new posts.

I’m also looking into deactivating new registrations/topics and keeping it online as an archive.

Security is my main concern.

Thank you.

I have a large bbPress forum where the wp_postsmeta table is 2 GB! Surprisingly, I’ve not had much trouble hosting that anywhere until I tried Flywheel.

When bbPress is active, trying to log in through /wp-login.php gives me a 503 error and won’t let me into the dashboard. But if I remove bbPress from the plugins folder, I can log in successfully. This is 100% repeatable.

The Flywheel people can log in with their own admin account, but they aren’t a forum “keymaster.”

This site used to be WordPress Multisite but is now its own installation. Server is PHP 7.2.

But this exact same site runs fine when hosted on Liquid Web, or my own server via Centminmod.

Can you give any guidance? Unfortunately, the logs aren’t helpful.

Compared to BuddyPress, or a membership plugin like MemberPress, this is a surprisingly tedious thing to do in bbPress. I got 3/4 of the way to building it when I decided I really wanted the function on the membership account page and not in bbPress after all.

But suppose you wanted to add a tab for a page on which a user could upload an avatar using one of the many WordPress avatar plugins. Here, roughly, are the steps you would follow:

1. First, you have to create the tab. This is done by adding another list-item in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php.
2. In the other menu items on this template, you’ll notice that the href for the link is created by a function like ‘bbp_user_profile_edit_url()’. That’s because the user’s display name has to be part of the link. So, what you’ve got to do next is look in bbpress/includes/users/template.php and find that function. Then you’ve got to copy it, rename it, and modify it so that it creates the link you want (e.g., ‘/forums/users/username/avatar/’ ).
3. Next, you’ve got set up bbPress to parse that link. The parsing function is bbp_parse_query(), which is found at the bottom of bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php. This function reads the URI and sets conditional tags (e.g., ‘bbpress_is_single_user_edit’) depending on what the URI is. The function is called from bbpress/includes/core/actions.php. You’ll need to copy this function somewhere else and rename it. Then remove the action that calls it and add an action that calls your function. Then, you’ll need to modify your function such that if the URI ends in ‘avatar’ it sets a conditional tag, e.g., ‘bbpress_is_single_user_avatar’.
4. Templates are loaded based on the conditional tags, and there are functions that return true or false depending on what conditional tags are present, e.g. ‘bbp_is_single_user_edit()’. These are found in bbpress/includes/common/tempate.php. You’ll have to create one of these that returns true for ‘bbpress_is_single_user_avatar’.
5. Once you’ve got that, then you can conditionally load the templates you want for the page. Templates are loaded in bbpress/includes/core/template-loader.php. The function is bbp_template_include_theme_supports(). It has a filter, so you can add a conditional that loads a template when ‘bbp_is_single_user_avatar()’ is true.

As I said, I got about 3/4 of the way to doing this when I realized that it would be clearer in my application to have the avatar in the account area of my membership plugin. But I think this is roughly how you would do it in bbPress.

Interesting!

Driven by curiosity, I put this plugin together. You could try installing and activating it: it should make it possible to use [topic-author] from both the new reply subject and body.

It doesn’t do much else, though it could itself readily be extended (but perhaps the better course of action would be to see if the original author of bbPress Notify can make a change there or, if it is no longer receiving updates, fork it).

At any rate, I hope this is helpful, if only as a starting point 🙂

bbPress Notify plugin

Hi, can I add tags that include the author name so that the name of the author can be added to the Notify email Subject line and email body (for both Topics and replies)?

for example: reply author name, topic author name
