bbPress plugin has serious problems itself.

1) Bad working width values:
The major problem for me was that @media screen and (min…. worked really ugly.
With relative wide sceen I got narrow listing. It took big time to get width values working well.

When the width was a little bit over 600px the width was in computer screen about 330 px. Bad.

1000 px it was about 530 px – bad.

Orinally bbPress worked well only in few situations.
2) Bad working with 320×480 cell phones.
Avatar didn’t work. I took model from http://www.matkapuhelinfoorumi.fi and redefined (max-width:320px).
CSS for these kinds of cell phone should fix.

Hi!

Sorry, no links, my forum and WordPress installations are on localhost.

After failed import of SMF (2.0.15) database to bbPress 2.5.14. I tried with bbPress 2.6 RC 7 but there is the same problem with both versions. I can’t seem to past by 7th step – “No forum subscriptions to import”. Import monitor listed: “Doing step 6” and it didn’t move past that for 12 hours

My SMF forum database is clean as it can possibly be and I can’t find where is the problem.

Has anyone succeeded to import SMF into bbPress?

Hi
I use WordPress 4.9.8 and some plugins such as Woocommerce, WPML, WP Job Manager and BuddyPress at my website. Today I installed bbPress but I found a conflict with other plugins. When I try to access wp-admin page, it is not loaded correctly and loading is stopped by displaying white page. It is a bad problem, because I can not access to dashboard after login. Please guide me.

Thanks

I have been troubleshooting an issue with embedded iframe table from datawrapper.de. The responsive iframe code was not changing height parameters on small screens so table was cut off. After disabling plugins I found that the problem went away after disabling bbpress.

datawrapper.de support told me this:
A part of the embed code contains the character string [b], it seems that your CMS automatically replaces this with an html strong tag, so the embed script no longer works.

So I guess the replace [b] with an html strong tag is part of bbpress? Any way to turn that off in bbpress?

Hi rocketmouse, perhaps this post from 2013 can help you:

How to remove this title

Let me know please!

[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]

this was a plugin for the old version 1 bbpress.

version 2 just uses wordpress users so no longer required

[Luisgasser]

yes i couldn’t fix it.

Here is a link to the a screenshot of the error message:

@bbrian

Hey, I am trying to use your plugin. Your write up is unclear to me, do I need to have the same the forum title on the new bbpress forum the invision forum? Is the Upload folder really needed and what is it?? I have done some conversion but nothing is showing up on the new forum I created and they have same titles as the old one on the Invision.

Also if leave the Table Prefix blank to does nothing, I have to put in “orig_ibf” for it to work. Its converting stuff but i dont see where…. Do i have to wait for the converting to stop before I seen anything pop up on the new forums???

Thank you.

Publishing a topic from the frontend works fine – BUT trace shows that $forum_id is set to zero.

Ah yes, you’re right. That’s because “transition_post_status” fires before bbPress generates the meta data linking the topic (or reply) with its parent forum.

So, during your callback, the information isn’t available (actually it is, you could grab the post parent value from the post object, but that’s not “the way”).

Maybe try following Robin’s strategy 🙂

@Barry – thanks for your interest.

Standard WP and bbPress email notifications fall short because

1. When a WP post is held for moderation, admin/moderators do not get any notification.
2. When a WP post or comment is held for moderation and subsequently approved, subscribers are not notified
3. When bbPress topics or replies are held for moderation and subsequently approved, subscribers are not notified.
4. Sometimes it is best for admin or moderator to create or moderate topics or replies in the backend. Standard bbPress does not send subscriber notifications when they are published from the backend.

I am working on a plugin which uses the transition_post_status hook to look for publications of the above and make notifications. I show the full plugin as of now here.

The section above line 76 deals with WP posts held for moderation and subsequently approval. It is basically cloned from another plugin as acknowledged.

From line 72 is my work. It looks for a topic or reply status changing to ‘publish’.
It works when a topic or reply is published from the frontend but not from the backend. The relevant bit of code gets executed correctly, but the relevant variables are not set up correctly. I suspect that some of the functions I am calling rely on globals that are set up by the bbPress frontend but these are not in place for backend actions.

My trace statements reveal that:

1. Publishing a topic from the frontend works fine – BUT trace shows that $forum_id is set to zero. So the bbPress_notify_forum_subscribers call works without the $forum_id parameter being set. It must work it out otherwise.
2. Publishing a topic from the backend fails to notify subscribers. bbPress_notify_forum_subscribers presumably fails to workout the forum-id behind the scenes.
3. On reply publication, the code gets the $reply_id OK but the notifications do not get sent, so it must fail to work out the missing information.

I think my basic approach of using the transition_post_status hook is good as it allows me to act when a post changes to publish from draft/pending etc. whether from the front or backends. But the calls to collect the required ids are not all they seem and rely on behind the scenes poking around in stuff that is not in place when invoked from the backend.

with widget logic you can call ‘is_bbpress’ that will determine if you are in a forum page

OK thanks, I have tried deactivating nearly all the plugins just left bbpress / style pack and it is still the same, also as I said chopped the functions file.

here is an updated image of the problem … the red arrows identify the problem areas.
i am not sure if they are called headers, menus, or as one person suggested, “lists”.

the problem is that they headings and data items don’t line up.

if you google bbpress forums, and look at the images, all the pictures show the data properly lined up.

My request / idea for this topic comes from being involved in WordPress.com and WordPress.org forums. As people in these forum may know, there is a lot of confusion about where to input topics when people need help with WordPress. Because of this confusion, it leads to many Topics (basically support tickets) in the wrong forums.

An example of this is when people post to the WordPress.com forums for a question about a self-hosted WordPress site. This takes the staff and volunteers working on WordPress.com away from supporting that system and instead causes a need to support this other question and most of the support is educating the difference in .com and .org. Once those replies go the tickets, some people opening the topics are still not sure what to do – and telling them “go to the other forum” might be confusing, and at the least will cause duplicate work.

So, the idea: a feature in bbPress that allows a forum (in this example, the WordPress.org forum) staff to “pull” a topic from another forum (WordPress.com forum) and get the data setup as a topic in the forum where it makes sense.

Ideally, this would pull over the threaded history, somehow note the users in the discussion as users of the old forum or the new forum (maybe call user: username[wordpress.org] vs username), and tags as needed…and then allow the discussion to continue on the new forum while noting the move and closing the ticket on the old forum.

There is a problem that the user opening the topic needs to exist – and the user in WordPress.com may only exist in that system, so one option would be that part of pulling the topic over would do an automated user creation behind the scenes on the “new forum” if a simple search did not find the user to assign the topic to in the new forum.

I also think that in order to do some kind of migration of topic from the UI side (just past in a URL and basically “scrape” the data) would be nice but for the better administration the data would be pulled with API calls and this could be done by URL and some kind of nonce/code that only a staff members who has high access on both forums would know/generate. They log in to the old forum, go to the Topic they want to copy and click something to enable the copy – this would give them the nonce/code. They go to the new forum and note where they are pulling from URL, the nonce/code and the user they want to assign the topic to in the new forum.

This is a long winded explanation, but I think similar to other situations where a company or organization could have a legitimate need for multiple forums platforms (instead of just splitting by forum in one site) and a method to essentially “move a topic to the right forum” could have a nice benefit – not to mention the simplification of support for the WordPress community.

I would love feedback and if this is something useful, it would be great to know what the next steps are to follow through.

(this is a similar idea to what is in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/copyduplicate-topic-into-another-forum/ but it seems different so I did not just put a reply there)

Hi,
There is currently no easy way to go deeper in the structure. A ticket is still open for that: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1958

We would like to add a section for helpdesk and user suggestions.

We would like to list this section as a separate component of our Forum section.

What shall we do to display the helpdesk section separate from the rest of the discussions using bbPress?

[tapiohuuhaa]

Get working with the plugin. I just changed one text, which was not in the report.php file.
Next time when I update the plugin I must add translation as code snippets.
Thank’s.
Yes, I don’t understand, what is child theme function.php file.
I have used twentyfourteen. I don’t have any child theme for it but the theme does have function.php.

BTW. A Finnish user had complained in the conversation page of the plugin moderation-tools-for-bbpress about the same issue (I saw from the nickname that the person was Finnish).
