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

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 !

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!

‘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

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.)

I found a solution https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/ and https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/shortcode-bbp-single-forum/

[deafmetal]

Forum Index (does same thing when using shortcodes), Child Forum, and Topics:

After upgrading to 2.6 RC 7, and doing forum repairs, I lost the header, categories and formatting for my forum index and child forums. The topics work just fine still.

To troubleshoot, I deactivated all plugins, removed bbPress, activated the default 17 theme, and removed my primary theme. If I re-install/activate bbpress, the index and children headers then show up, albeit without the default styling.

So I reinstalled my theme (which has native bbpress/buddypress support built in), re-activated bbpress, and the headers/categories/formatting disappeared again.

I wanted to think it was a css issue, but I had re-installed everything fresh. So it appears something corrupted my database, tied specifically to my theme. Any recommendations for how to “fix” the repairs and undo the damage?

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to fix this without a wholesale home home directory and sql db restoral. But I’d lose WEEKS of edits and css customization. Ughh

Thank you in advance!!

Hello, are you planning to add more options to bbpress? Currently, nothing can be set on the forum, disable things that are unnecessary, change the appearance without hundreds of additions and how well it would be in the package as in other forums. Very turdno something to do with this forum

[BizDev Results]

Hello and thanks in advance for the help. I am new to bbpress.

I have been looking for a way to arrange my bbpress page to look like the https://bbpress.org/forums/

With a short description of each forum on the left hand column and the list of recent topics on the right.

Is this done with shortcodes or css or will it require development? if it is shortcodes, can someone share them with me?

Thanks!

Hello, we’re using bbPress Version 2.5.14 on WordPress 5.2.2, on our site https://lightstalking.us/.

Recently, we decided to move the part of our website to a new server (only forums actually) to increase the speed and we need to copy SQL tables with forum database from one server to another.

Can I get the list of all the tables I need to copy in order to successfully get all the forum posts from one server to another?

Thank you,

hi all,

i had created a forum with the bbPress plugin on my block, but then i still want something displaying the latest topic in forum on my front page. I have to look for some plugins to do the job but it is really difficult to find a good one.
it will be a nice thing to me if you can really help thanks!

[PCCC Song Thai Tung]

Hi! i have one questions is:
if i created forum with bb press then, my website is subdomain or website/forum?
and if subdomain then subdoamin have receive pagerank same as website official?
Thanks!

[Jamie Alexander]

Have you integrated both bbpress and buddypress? If not, then please go to https://wisdmlabs.com/blog/integrating-buddypress-bbpress-forums-right-way/ and study the ways to integrate them. Once you did it, you can see the updates you made in your bbpress profile reflecting in your profile on buddypress. Try it, and let me know if the problem gets resolved.

[earlsn]

As the admin, I was able to create a forum, then some topics and one reply. However, once I login under a different user with the role of “participant” or “moderator”, none of the topics display for that forum. I get the following messages on the returned forum screen:

“This forum contains 4 topics and 1 reply, and was last updated by Earl Sneeringer 2 weeks, 3 days ago.

Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

How is it that I see that I have 4 topics and 1 reply but it doesn’t display this or a participant or moderator?

My WP version is: 5.2.2 and my bbpress version is 2.8.1, my site is howardcountypickleball.org. The forum is under the Members menu item which is restricted to joined members.

Hello, I am not developer or software guy but I managed to get pretty far with my new project website

I would like to make the bbpress forum fonts larger and darker and figure out why the search is not working.

I searched some of the solutions but I think the solutions are beyond me so am looking to pay someone (bbpress expert) to make my forum look awesome.

I would prefer to do this outside of this forum. Can you private message me…or do I need to put my email address in a follow up post?

Thanks,
