bbPress Direct Quotes does not work but gd-bbpress-tools works for quotes. Thank’s also!

Siqnature is quite modest because it doesn’t support HTML. Not IMO usable.

One issue left, which I explain here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/why-using-visual-editor-i-must-change-a-core-file-of-a-theme/
If someone knows answer to that, I would be happy.

In another thread I read

Stop Auto Converting Text Url into Hyperlinked Url

When a member paste url, into reply or topic, I just want to keep them as text, not automatically parsed as hyperlinks. In other words, I don’t want to make urls clickable, just keep them usual text.

I just would like to do the opposite. Currently bbPress doesn’t convert link as clickable links.

[tapiohuuhaa]

Ather the text: “The problem was that pasting text add unwanted HTML:”
bbPress has automatic formatted web address as blockquote, where the link use the title of the page instead of the web-addresss.
I would like to get similar behavior. At least using the title instead of showing the web adress starting with http://

[Robin W]

bbpress does not have that, and I’m not sure how to code it, so as a user I can’t help – sorry

Hello,
Is there a straightforward URL to be able to jump directly to a bbPress forum topic’s last page ?
I have tried different URLs like :
   (site_name)/forums/topic/(topic_name)/page/last/
   (site_name)/forums/topic/(topic_name)/page/end/
   (site_name)/forums/topic/(topic_name)/last/
   (site_name)/forums/topic/(topic_name)/end/
but none of these work, whereas a URL like :
   (site_name)/forums/topic/(topic_name)/page/13/
works quite right !
Thanks.

Enable Visual Editor

“In some cases, text pasted into the visual editor will bring along unwanted styles and HTML markup. You can use another function to force pasted text to be cleaned up. ”

I added the function, but it does not work. See

Do I need some plugin for TinyMCE

[phil1ooo]

Hello
New to bbpress “to be honest I have always used wpForo” and I am finding it to be far far easier than this bbpress option and a much cleaner appearance, where I would of had wpForo up and running in less than 30 minutes, I have been working on this bbPress for 2 days now and still now where near making it usable to frontend members”

But here I am giving you guys the benefit of the dout as my current needs require something a little different.
My issue not displaying the profile page as that is childs play to do but to get the /user page edited so that it all properly aligns https://support.ozy.net.au/support-forums/users/dummy/

Now click on this link https://support.ozy.net.au/support-forum/ to login.
I have created a dummy account that I will leave active for a few days giving you change to have a look
UN – dummy@yours.com
PW – 1dummytest1

I understand/know these are widgets but my issue is not being able to access this USERS page to make any changes and i can’t seem to find it anywhere in the system or cPanel file system.

I also have the same issue with another plugin but just can’t find it right now.
This “bbp Topic Count” plugin also doesn’t work as no shortcodes displayed here actually work
Thi scan be seen here https://support.ozy.net.au/top-users/ at it should appear above the profile you see there “considering you do see that profile from your end that is”

Having said this I have spent the last 2 days looking online at options and ways around all these things but most of what you find is so outdated and the rest in most part doesn’t work.

I am creating this for a network which means just setting it up is a big job without the hassles this plugin is giving me and the last thing I need is constant maybe’s and what if’s so either this plugin works or it doesn’t. Not trying to be rube just very direct in my needs.

Hope you can help.
Cheers

Hi,

An old similar topic is here.

We are in Europe, so we must to conform to GDPR.
Users sometime post theirs personal information’s like phone, email or ID in a support forum and this cannot be stopped with a warning. So you must to admit that possibility to made topics visible by author and moderators only is a must!

I do not understand why this option isn’t in plugin core?
Will have a lot of benefits: act like a CRM, a lot of teams will use this plugin instead of a ticket system, the privacy according to GDPR will be 100%.

Please allow us to have some forums with “Topic visible by author and moderators only!“.

I’m new to wordpress and bbPress. I found a post that described the problem I am having, but a “keymaster” closed the thread… I don’t see how to solve this problem.

The original thread was:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/breadcrumb-and-forum-index-issues/

Here is my restatement of the issue:

I am new to WordPress and BBpress, using Astra theme. I have read some forum topics on the problem I am having, but some are now closed and did not provide answers in remedial enough fashion! (I’m not a coder.)
Here is how I am experiencing the problem, you can follow along on the links below (I used BBP stylepack to remove the “home” link)
1. I navigate to https://devgo.jeffbelkora.com/forums/. This presents a blank page.
2. As suggested in a prior forum here, I set up a WordPress page called forums with a bbpress shortcode [bbp-forum-index]. Still, the URL /forums/ presents a blank page.
3. Bizarrely (to me), I can see this forum index only if I change the URL to Forums/ with a capital F. Huh? Now this page displays a list of forums, namely one I created called “Resource Messages”. Very confused as to how the uppercase F came to display the right index. I stumbled on that accidentally.
4. I click on “Resource Messages” This takes me to /forums/forum/resource-messages/. The URL now has a lowercase f in forums. This will be a problem in a minute!
5. Now I click on “Resource Message 2” link and I’m taken to /forums/topic/20181219-resource-message-2/. Incidentally, I am working on an entire project to strip down the forum into a one-way bulletin board… but this post is just about the forum breadcrumbs.
6. Now the problem arises where I click on the breadcrumb for forums, whose link is /forums/. As seen in item 1, this presents a blank page.
Now, other posters pointed to BBP StylePack “breadcrumbs” setting. And I have tried to insert my forum page (with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]) URL (/forums/) into their “override” box. But instead of showing the forum index, it shows a blank page.
Help! I am so confused. I would really appreciate any tips or links to further resources, in very remedial terms.

[sightup]

This is all under “Forum Root Slug” too? Because under “Forum Root” it says “forums” and next to that it says ” Possible bbPress conflict: Forum slug” and I was wondering if that was an issue?

[Robin W]

latest BBPress – do you mean 2.5.14?

[spaceman_qc]

I have the latest WordPress (5.0.2) and latest BBPress. I enabled the visual editor with the bbPress tweak plugin and then every time I tried to edit a reply it will not let me submit it again. The page would just like reload and my text was gone. No error in the console but saw thing flashed there.

But if I login, logout, return to bbPress and uses the text editor and kept the visual editor in the back, everything worked ok. So I disabled it and since then no more bugs.

Is there other WYSIWYG editor that I can use? Is there something I can do to make it work correctly?

[Robin W]

ah – thanks – try this

// Force ping_status on bbPress post types
add_filter( ‘pings_open’, ‘rew_force_ping_status’ ); 
function rew_force_ping_status( $open, $post_id = 0 ) { 
// Get the post type of the post ID
$post_type = get_post_type( $post_id );
// Default return value is what is passed in $open
$retval = $open;
// Only force for bbPress post types
	switch ( $post_type ) {
	case bbp_get_forum_post_type() :
	case bbp_get_topic_post_type() :
	case bbp_get_reply_post_type() :
	$retval = false;
	break;
	// Allow override of the override
	return apply_filters( ‘rew_force_ping_status’, $retval, $open, $post_id, $post_type );
	}
} 

[cdwed]

I dont get it. I copied your code exactly as below. Is there an AND symbol getting in there in the copy function?

// Force ping_status on bbPress post types
add_filter( ‘pings_open’, ‘rew_force_ping_status’ );

function rew_force_ping_status( $open, $post_id = 0 ) {

// Get the post type of the post ID
$post_type = get_post_type( $post_id );
// Default return value is what is passed in $open
$retval = $open;
// Only force for bbPress post types
switch ( $post_type ) {
case bbp_get_forum_post_type() :
case bbp_get_topic_post_type() :
case bbp_get_reply_post_type() :
$retval = false;
break;
// Allow override of the override
return apply_filters( ‘rew_force_ping_status’, $retval, $open, $post_id, $post_type );
}

[Robin W]

ok, that is quite ambitious, so well done for getting so far.

As I think you are doing, you should only change files in the templates and then only by copying them to a bbpress folder in your child theme. The originals can (and should) stay in the bbpress plugin file. bbpress will see your files in the child theme and use them instead.

to move the topic content – the word ‘test’ in your example

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content {
	margin-left: 0px !important;
}

[cdwed]

I put in the code and got a syntax error. I loaded it in just as you wrote it. So it will not run.

Can you check on this please?
Here is what you posted:

// Force ping_status on bbPress post types 
add_filter( 'pings_open', 'rew_force_ping_status' ); 

function rew_force_ping_status( $open, $post_id = 0 ) { 

<strong>// Get the post type of the post ID 
$post_type = get_post_type( $post_id ); 
// Default return value is what is passed in $open 
$retval = $open; 
// Only force for bbPress post types 
switch ( $post_type ) { 
case bbp_get_forum_post_type() : 
case bbp_get_topic_post_type() : 
case bbp_get_reply_post_type() : 
	$retval = false; 
break; 
// Allow override of the override 
return apply_filters( 'rew_force_ping_status', $retval, $open, $post_id, $post_type ); 
} </strong>

You can also try Magazine Pro by StudioPress. It’s a bbPress ready WordPres theme with a very professional look and a lot of features.

Magazine Pro Theme

[jaykaybee]

I am trying to configure bbpress for one way announcements to an audience of members in my website. Meaning I as the author am posting topics in chronological order, with no possibility of replies. So not a normal forum.

This has meant removing a lot of extraneous information normally displayed: I don’t need or want author, freshness, voices, etc.

I am new to WordPress, BBpress, and I am not a coder. I have proceeded, through trial and error, to “inspect” the pages and use custom CSS to hide objects that I don’t want (display: none !important), and to look at the php files such as content-single-topic-lead.php and remove any references to author (e.g. bbp-topic-author).

Without understanding much of what I’m doing, I’m getting very close to achieving the intended effect. Now I’m stuck because when someone clicks in Resource Messages (the “forum” name) on an actual topic, they see an indented display of content, because the author column (which normally displays author name and avatar etc, which I hid using CSS display: none !important) is still present (if empty).

Please see https://devgo.jeffbelkora.com/square/topic/20181219-resource-message-2/

So my questions are:
1. Can anyone instruct me on how to remove that first author/avatar column?
2. How to resize column 2, or otherwise adapt it so each topic’s content displays as a left-justified text?

Please be very remedial in any tips you can give me. I have created a “bbpress” subfolder inside my “astra” child theme via “files” in my cpanel. I am deleting code in php files there adding custom css inside the astra child theme “customizer”.

If you are going to suggest changing files, could you please specify how I need to place them in my child theme to make this futureproof to updates etc.?

Thank you!

I should say that I am not the plugin author, just an experienced user.

bbpress just uses wordpress custom posts, so in most cases having the forums within the main site would be no problem. Of course I don’t know your site, so cannot recommend, but most sites just have it within. If the main site is down, chances are that most will not access the forums directly, but rather via the main site, so the forums would ‘appear’ to be down as well.

It is an option to uncheck the box, it is not a recommendation (the box I quoted in settings recommends that you do display the prefix, but I think this is just for clarity in the url).

unticking the box would achieve https://forums.X.com/ and putting the forums in your main site would achieve https://X.com/forums/

[Robin W]

I cannot replicate that on my test site, and from its positioning I suspect it is theme related rather than bbpress as it seems to be within after an <article> div that bbpress doesn’t use, and I cannot find ‘comments-area’ anywhere in the bbpress plugin.

If you want to prove that, switch to a default theme and check that it disappears.

[Robin W]

the first ‘forums’ is the sub domain where he has installed it (what you call ‘in its own folder) so that cannot be changed.

The ‘/forums/’ is what bbpress uses, you can omit that in the sub-domain wp installation

dashboard>settings>forums>fourm root slug, and untick the ‘Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)’

That might achieve your first objective, but probably what you really want is the forums within your site, unless your site is massively complicated or your forums are huge, there is no reason not to have bbpress within your main site

[Foliferous]

Hello,

I noticed a weird thing, the Admin profile has this empty DIV on its page:

Check it out.

Other profiles don’t have that. Check it out.

It seems to be this here:

<div class="comments-area"></div>

What is this and what is it doing there? How do I remove it? Is it some space for user comments on profiles? And why do other users don’t have that?

Thanks!

By the way I love bbpress, it’s awesome. I used a lot of other forum software (IPB, vBulletin, phpBB), but this one’s really the best!

[sightup]

I paid a website dev to install bbPress forums on our site. bbPress is in its own folder and uses a different database than the stock site.

The url shows up like this: https://forums.X.com/forums/

Is it possible to either get the URL to be either https://forums.X.com/ or https://X.com/forums/ ?

The dev I paid says it’s not possible. That kind of seems strange to me that it wouldn’t be possible.
