not sure what you are disagreeing with in my statement, support is provided for free by volunteers such as myself (I’m nothing to do with bbpress) and you haven’t got an answer, so think that is a correct statement as well.

I’m not arguing that pagination shouldn’t be there.

[Process of Illumination]

Hi Robin, I don’t agree:

1 – paginated content is a very common feature, Google requires it and it should be native in a Forum, where it is obvious you will need it.

2 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-but-problems-4/ at each time people give bbpress a bad review, the advice is to use the support forum. Just as I did.

Bye.

where does it show as

“bbpress Forum”

?

[writersabroad]

Not sure if this is a wordpress or bbpress issue so posting in both places. I run a writers community with buddypress and have set up forums where members can post pieces of work. We are experiencing some difficulty with the comment blacklist which prevents some words from being used even if within a word e.g. double breasted…. and one piece of work I can’t for the life of me find the word that is blocking the post… whilst I want to be able to stop spam comments, surely forum posts from members who have to be signed in to post is another thing? Any suggestions? I am useless with code :). Even if we had something which could identify the rogue word we could do something about it…

Thank you

Hi
Is there any way to show a topic created in a forum, on a page within wordpress? Say the home page.

However I want it to look like a normal post that’s been created in wordpress, not a section of bbpress. From what I can tell so far, it shows like a section of bbpress forum.

It’s like sometimes when you browse a website, in the sidebar is almost like a snippet of the forum post. It gets your attention. Then if you click on it, it takes you to the forum where you sign in/register. I’m after this if possible?

Wordpress v. 5.2.1; bbpress v. 2.5.14

I would like to change my “bbpress forum” to another name so that it does not show up as “bbpress Forum” or Just “Forum” in my users profiles or elsewhere. I have seen several dated suggestions of how to do this but none have worked.

I did not find any help here using the search option. So if this is a repeat question, Please accept my apologies and kindly direct me to the codex or other potentially successful answer.

Thank you.

@marrik thanks lol 🙂

I hope someone from bbpress could tell me…

WordPress 5.2.1
bbPress Version 2.5.14
site https://titotim.com
Problem persists in Themes twenty seventeen, boss, and donovan.

Just set up bbPress yesterday and having a few issues. (should I make a different topic for each?)

When I make a post, it does not show up on the forum until I log out and log back in. I have tried it with my admin account, test account, chrome, firefox, and explorer. I changed themes (twenty seventeen, boss, and donovan) and the problem is the same.

Also, I just noticed the post list is not updating. It will say, for example, last post 34 seconds ago… refresh, go to the blog and back to the forum – still 34 seconds ago. Log out, log in now it says 8 minutes ago. And the newer post are there. Nothing changes without logging out.

Is there a weird cache issue? I have no idea what I am talking about…

Hello,
the links allowing forum users to close or trash their own topic are displayed, but the one to edit is not.
I have tried with:
– “Edit time” put to a high value (999999)
– all the plugins deactivated (except bbPress and bbp style pack)
– and the theme 2017
But the problem is still there.
(WP 4.9.10 and bbPress 2.5.14)
Does anybody have an idea?
Thank you

[oneskysandy]

I am having this problem too. It looks like reply.js isn’t getting enqueued because bbp_is_single_topic is false.

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress-functions.php

if ( bbp_is_single_topic() ) {
…
// Hierarchical replies

if ( bbp_thread_replies() ) {
$scripts[‘bbpress-reply’] = array(
‘file’ => ‘js/reply.js’,
‘dependencies’ => array( ‘jquery’ )

This should be bbpress functionality, but I’m unsure how to fix this. Also, I checked the permission, and it looks okay.

[chemdata]

How can I make the BBP forum fit the default page size with sidebar on the right as opposed to being full width?
Thanks.

[chemdata]

Is/are there a set of instructions or video showing how one posts on a bbpress forum? I have a website for older people who are not that knowledgeable with forums and would like to have a section where they can see “how to.”

Thanks.

[gal_Dahan]

Hello I am at the beginning of building a site I have a WordPress system installed by BuddyPress and bbpress I want to leave the plugin of the forum I want it to look less like a forum More like a science board You can comment Once you come to open a discussion you fill a form of form and it is published as an ad Basically What I want is to change the form at the opening of discussion and design forum in addition to want to hitch the rtl forum. If there is a guide or someone who can help me

[bleec]

Hi,
I’ve been reading other posts, and replies, but nothing seems to be working for me.
It seems like it’s an ongoing issue, so posting a new topic is my last resort.

My website is:
http://www.mywebsite.com.au

I have created a forum page within wordpress called “chat”:
http://www.mywebsite.com.au/chat

I have added the bbpress shortcode to display the bbpress forums here. That works fine.

However when I click on anything that takes me 1 level deeper into the forums, the URL changes.
For example… If I click on a sub-forum (using this website it would be like clicking on “Development & Updates” over on the left menu)… the Url changes to:
http://www.mywebsite.com.au/forum/sub-forum-name/

I want the …au/forum… to be be …au/chat/… so it remains consistent with the page I created in wordpress and where i added the shortcode. Otherwise what’s the point?? So is the shortcode just showing the forums, but not actually the forums? I want the ACTUAL forums to be placed using this shortcode – that’s what I thought it would do.

That’s my main gripe. Please tell me there’s a workaround so the URL stays the same?

In addition to that… when you click on a created post within a forum (like when you clicked to open my post), the URL is:
http://www.mywebsite.com.au/topic/created-post-name/

That doesn’t seem to be consistent either?
I would think it should be:
http://www.mywebsite.com.au/chat/sub-forum/created-post-name

I hope I’m missing something and this can be resolved. Happy to listen to any advice. Thanks in advance.

Until today I had a Buddypress group set up with a forum. That forum was a category, containing several other forums. When people clicked on the forum link in the group, they saw a list of all the forums available for that group.

Then the forum started saying that there were no topics available. And when I looked in the group’s forum settings the group is now linked with a new (empty) forum with the same name as the original category forum. The category forum is now grayed out and can’t be selected to be the forum for the group.

I’ve tried running all the repairs available in Admin > Tools > Forums > Repair Forums. No change.

Settings > Forums > Group Forums Parent is set to the correct (category) forum.

Could the problem be related to my having changed the group from Hidden to Private?

I’m on WP 5.2.1, Buddypress 4.3.0, bbPress 2.5.14.

[Robin W]

ok, your theme/caching is now doing this

https://www.myplaystation.nl/wp-content/cache/fvm/1559213822/out/header-de476267.min.css

you might need to clear cache to get style pack to take or put this in custom css

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-forum-topic-count {
	color: #000 !important;
}

bbPress version 2.5.14
WordPress version 5.2.1
Site: https://outdoorwomensalliance.com
Theme (in case it matters): Avada 5.9.1

Our forums are currently only open to view for certain membership levels. However, those members can’t see anything other than the sticky posts. There are no forums or topics anymore. When they click on “Forums” from their account, they come to a page with the sticky post from each forum listed and that’s it.

(@pdidee asked about this on a slack channel, thought I would leave my solution here)

HTTP Post is basically the same thing as a form submission. Consider this example from the infusionsoft link you sent:

That is basically like having a form that is submitted to your website at the URL you choose, with the field names (left) and values (right).

Here is an example of what you should send from Infusionsoft:

contactId = ~Contact.Id~
access_key = [your access key]
bbp_action = set_role
bbp_role = cadet

When your website gets that data, nothing happens. BBPress and WordPress do not know what to do with that data you came up with. You have to make that data do something.

Here is an example that will handle that URL. It is not tested:

https://gist.github.com/RadGH/38473c6ebcda730cedadd49de1ad0348

You need to change the value of “$internal_access_key” to match your access key.

You will probably also need to change the meta key used in the WP_User_Query which I set as “infusionsoft_contact_id”. I’m guessing infusionsoft does store that data on your users, but may be under a different key. Check the infusionsoft plugin documentation and hopefully you can find it there.

I turned on the visual editor via the bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args filter.

But when I try and paste in a URL copied from YouTube in Chrome, the editor turns it into a link instead of an embedded video.

The same URL pasted into a blank post (with either block or classic editor) on the same site works. It’s only the bbPress editor turning it into a link. I turned off all plugins and switched the theme to twenty-seventeen.

On Safari and Firefox, the URL is properly pasted as text and so is recognized and made into an embed.

I’m wondering if anyone has a solution to this issue?

I’ve tried removing the bbp_make_clickable filter and it has no effect. It seems to be only Chrome and bbPress visual editor together causing this issue.

Hi there,

I’m running into an issue with Forums and can’t seem to work it out.

We have two private site – Production & Staging (WordPress 5.2.1 and bbpress 2.5.14).

On staging, participants are able to view forums, create topics and respond to topics. On production, participants get the following errors:

Hidden Forums: This group does not currently have a forum. – even though the group does have a forum
Public Forums: You cannot create new topics. and You cannot reply to this topic.

Topics are not appearing in topics either.

Is anyone else experiencing this or know what is causing the issue?

Thanks,
Charlene

Hello! Iam new with bbpress and I wonder how I can change the title topic? If you check my site you can see the title “Forum arkiv” but I only want “Forum”. Can someone help me with this?

[Barry]

OK, and are you in a position to take those testing steps a little further and deactivate everything except bbPress (and also switch to a default theme)?

If you can do that, and things work, we then know the problem lies in one of your other plugins or with your theme and by reactivating them and testing you can probably figure out which one is the problem.

You could even do this ‘in reverse’ if you want to avoid disruption on your live site. This service has a funny name, but poopy.life is really useful for this sort of thing. Start with a brand new WordPress install (it’s free, though it will only stay alive for 24hrs) and add bbPress but nothing else. Confirm it works as expected, and then start adding everything else that you have on your live site: see if you can figure out what exactly introduces the problem.

I’m using the latest version of bbpress and wordpress. theme

[bdd]

I tried adding User Role Editor and granting unfiltered html rights — no help.

I tried adding a filter to allow HTML tags (like mentioned in a few different posts, like here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-html-from-users/) — didn’t work (but that could’ve been my customizations).

AH!! Finally! Got it to work with the solution as referenced in the first post here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-html-tags-in-post-for-all-users/).

[Robin W]

bbpress does not have moderation, so it will be another plugin doing this.
