Hi !

Some texts are missing on the dashboard Widget : any idea ?
I tried with only bbpress plugin enabled and the default WP theme, same problem.

It was working when I installed bbpress the first time.
I already tried the tools provided to repair bbpress.

Thanks 🙂

[Barry]

The short and simple answer … is no 🙂

bbPress is a plugin for WordPress and it requires many of the features and facilities that WordPress provides in order to function.

What CMS are you using?

[qianjiu]

This is my website: https://www.9skymachining.com We are a mechanical processing company. I started with WordPRESS, but I changed it now. I am using CMS now, but I want to add a BBpress forum. I don’t know if there is any way?

[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 deosnlt work, also deactivate all but 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

Hello everyone. I’m using the following snippet that will display the first name and last initial for users in buddypress. However, in bbpress it has no effect. Any ideas on how I could edit this to get it to work for bbpress? I’m so sad that something like this isn’t a default option.

$changeLastInitial = new changeLastInitial;
add_filter('bp_displayed_user_fullname', array(
    $changeLastInitial,
    'last_initial'
), 7, 1);
add_filter('bp_get_member_name', array(
    $changeLastInitial,
    'last_initial'
), 7, 1);
add_filter('bp_get_the_profile_field_value', array(
    $changeLastInitial,
    'last_initial_xprofle'
), 7, 3);
add_filter('bp_core_get_user_displayname', array(
    $changeLastInitial,
    'bp_core_get_user_displayname'
), 7, 2);

class changeLastInitial
{
    function bp_core_get_user_displayname($name, $id)
    {
        $name = $this->last_initial($name);
        return $name;
    }
    function last_initial_xprofle($value, $type, $id)
    {
        if ($id == 1) {
            $value = $this->last_initial($value);
        }
        return $value;
    }
    function last_initial($name)
    {
        $name_a = explode(' ', $name);
        // if there is at least two parts to the name
        if (count($name_a) == 2) {
            // replace the last part of the name with the first letter of the last part
            $name_a[count($name_a) - 1] = substr($name_a[count($name_a) - 1], 0, 1);
            // put it all back together
            $name  = implode(' ', $name_a).".";
        }
        return $name;
    }
}

bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so the issue is with that.

Firstly check that you have membership ticked in dashboard>settings>general so that anyone can register.

If you are not receiving emails, then what is set in
dashboard>settings>general>email address
and does it match your site?
1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.comthen it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

Hi everyone,

I use WordPress 5.03 with BBpress version 2.5.14.
My website is http://club.geef-model.nl

The issue that I experience with my forum is that I don’t receive a notification when I new user is registered.

Most likely it is just one box I have to enable 😉
but I cannot find it.

I hope there is somebody who has the solution for me.

Thank you in advance for your help and response.

With kind regards,
Klaziena Waerts, the Netherlands

My site is in Dutch and when I must translate it, or change it (for a short while) to English is that no problem at all 🙂

Hi! I tried typing @mention user for reply. but when I try displaying it by query.. it didn’t have the link to the user tag. i just display a plain text

[Gomle]

Hi, I hope it’s ok to ask my question here. I am trying to import about 175.000 posts, 11400 threads from simplepress 5.x to bbpress.
All tables are in the same db, on the same server.

It imported the threads ok, and the first 9000 posts. But after this the script seems to have a problem continue the import. It goes very slow.

I have tried started again and again, and when I stop the script, and start it again – it imports about 50 before it stops importing – but it keeps running though.

When I press Stop – I go to the Repair-tab in another browser-window, and reset the counting, then I go back and restart the import using “Delete all information from earlier imports” with 1 second delay, and 100 at the time.

Still imports around 50 more, and then it stops. So now I am at about 17.600 posts. 10%.

Will this not work for 175.000 posts? Am I doing something wrong?

Server CPU is at 0%

[Robin W]

ok, let’s try something more basic

this code just replaces the bbp_get_user_favorites_link, but puts the home url as the permalink

function rew_get_user_favorites_link( $args = '', $user_id = 0, $wrap = true ) {
		if ( ! bbp_is_favorites_active() ) {
			return false;
		}

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'favorite'  => __( 'Favorite',  'bbpress' ),
			'favorited' => __( 'Favorited', 'bbpress' ),
			'user_id'   => 0,
			'topic_id'  => 0,
			'before'    => '',
			'after'     => ''
		), 'get_user_favorites_link' );

		// Validate user and topic ID's
		$user_id  = bbp_get_user_id( $r['user_id'], true, true );
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $r['topic_id'] );
		if ( empty( $user_id ) || empty( $topic_id ) ) {
			return false;
		}

		// No link if you can't edit yourself
		if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_user', (int) $user_id ) ) {
			return false;
		}

		// Decide which link to show
		$is_fav = bbp_is_user_favorite( $user_id, $topic_id );
		if ( ! empty( $is_fav ) ) {
			$text       = $r['favorited'];
			$query_args = array( 'action' => 'bbp_favorite_remove', 'topic_id' => $topic_id );
		} else {
			$text       = $r['favorite'];
			$query_args = array( 'action' => 'bbp_favorite_add',    'topic_id' => $topic_id );
		}

		$permalink = home_url() ;

		$url  = esc_url( wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( $query_args, $permalink ), 'toggle-favorite_' . $topic_id ) );
		$sub  = $is_fav ? ' class="is-favorite"' : '';
		$html = sprintf( '%s<span id="favorite-%d"  %s><a href="%s" class="favorite-toggle" data-topic="%d">%s</a></span>%s', $r['before'], $topic_id, $sub, $url, $topic_id, $text, $r['after'] );

		// Initial output is wrapped in a span, ajax output is hooked to this
		if ( ! empty( $wrap ) ) {
			$html = '<span id="favorite-toggle">' . $html . '</span>';
		}

		// Return the link
		return apply_filters( 'rew_get_user_favorites_link', $html, $r, $user_id, $topic_id );
	}

so remove my previous suggestion, and add the above function

Then where you have

bbp_user_favorites_link($fav_args); in your code

replace with

echo rew_get_user_favorites_link($fav_args);

Just 5 years since the last post, so I thought it was time to get some life back into this thread.

Simple press 5.7, to BBpress newest.
Forum has about 11500 threads, 178.000 posts on 9000 users.

It imports all the threads, but it stalls at 9200 posts.

Can I just press STOP and then START?
What should I do to let it continue from where it stopped?

[Larry Lewis]

Been looking around about how to convert an old VBulletin forum into BBPress where all of the users in VB are already in WP. What I was planning on doing was processing the topics finding the WP user for the post and then adding it to BBPress.

Only there doesn’t seem to be an API type widget to add a post, is there a bit of a hint somewhere as to what I need to do that will let me add the topics (as topic or reply) so that I can do it diresctly if necessary?

Thanks
Larry

[mattbru]

Robin, Yes – I’ve dug pretty deep myself and it is all pretty complicated.

I’ve tried the action you provided and it does not do anything different, unfortunately.

Topics

Earlier – I did try “hacking” (editing bbpress core plugin code) and changing the redirect as you did here with the hook. But I could not get it to stay on the homepage then either.

Hm. Maybe its not possible? I coudlnt find the exact code where it was happening. I thought it was inside the bbp_favorites_handler() function located here: bbpress/includes/users/functions.php line 430 Looks like youre using that hook on line 481 (bbp_favorites_handler).

I wonder if it has to do with either of these actions:
template_redirect
bbp_template_redirect

I tried this modified version of your hook code:

add_action( 'bbp_favorites_handler', 'tcdf_redirect_to_home_page' , 99, 1) ;
function tcdf_redirect_to_home_page ($success) {
	if ( true === $success && (is_front_page() || is_home() || is_page(2)) ) {
		$redirect = home_url() ;
		wp_safe_redirect( $redirect );
		// For good measure
		exit();
	}		
}

No luck. 🙁

Then come back

[Robin W]

If you can – I’d try it with a standard theme (eg twentyxx) and no other plugins and confirm that it is a bbpress issue

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so this should work for you

WP After Registration Redirect User Advanced

come back and confirm

[lesles08]

At certain points searching/filtering/sorting in the admin for bbpress custom post types (topics, replies, forums) I get a white screen with the error “Invalid post type.” It appears in the URL that it might be resending the post type which is creating an array so in the url it says &post_type=array& which is throwing the error.
Example: https://mydomain.com/wp-admin/edit.php?orderby=modified&order=asc&s=Product+Releases&post_status=all&post_type=Array&_wpnonce=d255a43653&_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit.php%3Forderby%3Dmodified%26order%3Dasc%26s%3DProduct%2BReleases%26post_status%3Dall%26post_type%3Dtopic%26action%3D-1%26m%3D0%26bbp_forum_id%26action2%3D-1&action=-1&m=0&topic-prefix=0&bbp_forum_id=18134&filter_action=Filter&paged=1&action2=-1

Is there any way to fix this? We are trying to sift through many many topics to do some edits on a forum that we are migrating and need better ways to find posts in the admin. Any input as to where to fix it or if it is even fixable would be greatly appreciated.

WP version: 5.0.3
bbPress version: 2.5.14
Site: https://corepointuc.wpengine.com (it’s locked down private but this is an admin issue)
Theme: Divi Child theme
Not sure if this is a bug so please let me know if I need to report it as such. (ie. trac ticket)

Thank you for any input or leads in the right direction!

WP : 5.0.2

Theme : Custom (built with _S)

Hi everyone,

Im having some issues in my custom theme.
I have a custom register page where I put this code :

<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[bbp-register]‘ ); ?>

The thing is, I don’t want the user to be redirected to my wp-login page after registration, for obvious security reasons.
I had a look to some codes but non of them fit to my issue.
Do someone have any idea ?
Cheers,

Chaaampy.

Hi,

i installed bbpress today on my wordpress site which have WordPress 5.0.3, bbpress 2.5.14. If i click on the Forum page in the admin panel it keeps loading forever. i tried reinstalling but still the same.If i try to create a new forum it keep loading for about 3 mins and then show this error:

” Create New Forum
“class=”help-tab-content”> Publish – You can set the terms of publishing your forum in the Publish box. For Status, Visibility, and Publish (immediately), click on the Edit link to reveal more options. Visibility includes options for password-protecting a forum or making it stay at the top of your blog indefinitely (sticky). Publish (immediately) allows you to set a future or past date and time, so you can schedule a forum to be published in the future or backdate a forum.

Any idea what is causing this error?

[mattbru]

WordPress v5.0.3
bbPress v2.5.14

Im using the function bbp_user_favorites_link() on my homepage post content to show a favorite link icon in the upper righthand corner of the post image.

When you click it, it goes to the single topic page. The “like” gets liked or unliked but I want to remain on the homepage. i dont want to go to the single topic page when clicking that icon from the homepage.

https://forum.thecritterdepot.com/

Note: You cannot “like” when youre not logged in. But I made a dummy icon that tells you you need to log in when clicked.

I tried looking through all the bbpress “favorites” functions but couldnt figure out how to remove this behavior.

Thanks!

[maximemue]

@Gregg: thanks a lot for your problem and solution description. I think I have the same issue (phpBB 3.1, current WordPress/bbpress)

If you say you exported the phpBB Database, do you mean simply with phpmyamdin? But then what do I have to do, simply create a new one in phpMyAdmin and import this database? this I would understand, but how do I tell bbpress to use this database?

Thanks for your help!!

Best
