I also think the many attempts to import, find an error, add the column, import, find an error, add the column…..etc, led to bbpress having a meltdown somewhere possibly as in WordPress, when you click on the forums link in the menu or the “All Forums” sub menu item, it leads to a ERROR 502 – BAD GATEWAY.

I tried re-installing the plugin but the forums listing menu item is shot. I even upgraded to the current release candidate.

On a positive note, the current release candidate seems to be importing data….working on importing up to convert 50k+ topics right now. Even though the forum listing in admin screen is screwed, this is at least a good test to see what happens on the import I guess…

I finally had enough with phpbb and installed a wordpress JUST for my forums. I installed bbpress in it and have been trying to import the forums over. First it kept erroring saying missing table fields or whatever, so I kept adding the table fields to the areas of the phpbb’s sql DB where it was looking for them..then it got stuck with the “Starting Conversion” and a spinning wheel. Everytime I had chosen “Start Over” I would get the “Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes” error. Just not my day I guess. 🙁

I had a few questions…

1) Does the importer not support 3.2.0? I figured it does by now since it states phpBB 3.x
2) Can you make the main index page of the WordPress site the forums? This way the wordpress is for nothing other than the forums? (once things do get working…)
3) Am I missing anything lol…I’m rackin my mind on this and it’s driving me nuts 🙂

I can’t wait to be in a better environment for the forums…

Hello
I am trying to use bbPress for a forum and when I use the short code to generate the index it does not show correctly. It does show a link (http://localhost/my-app/wordpress/forums/forum/wvv-forums/)for the index and if I click on the link it shows a better formatted list.

I have 4 sub-forums and instead of 1 per line, it shows 2 per line. Using Twenty Seventeen and have previewed with sixteen and fifteen themes, too with no effect.

What do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

no special bbpress themes, most themes work with bbpress, but you may want to use this to style the forums t match your theme and improve their look.

bbp style pack

Hi guys I am planning to install bbPress in my website but I want to know any theme is compatible with bbPress or I have to use bbPress themes. Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the explanation, now make more sense how buddypress and bbpress work together.

The unique problem that I saw is that new topics doesnt create notifications for forum subscribers. E-mail notifications are send, but no notification is created for buddypress notification area.

For forum replies e-mails notifications and buddypress notification are crate normally.

[Adarsh Verma]

I’ve been using bbPress and BuddyPress since long and am aware that if a user creates a topic in any forum, that also gets listed in user profile -> Forums tab.

Here is what exactly I’ve done:

When I create a private group and attach a forum with it. And a non-admin member becomes a member of that private group. Now that member creates a topic in that private forum, that topic does show globally on the /forums page. But when that user checks his profile for the topics he created, there no topic is shown. Which means the topics that show up globally, doesn’t show on the profile page.

For the information, I’m using the following versions of the plugins and theme:
1. bbPress – 2.5.14
2. BuddyPress – 3.2.0
3. Twenty Sixteen – 1.5
4. WordPress – 4.9.8

Please help me with this issue. Also, let me know if some guys have come across such a situation.

Thanks in advance!

bbpress uses subscriptions which are turned on in the forums settings.

Users who then subscribe to a forum are emailed notifications when a new topic is posted in that forum, and can then subscribe to the topic to receive notifications of replies.

Is this what you need, or can you come back with further info.

[Leandro]

Hello,

Recently I started to setup a community using buddypress and bbpress and only after a few tests I noticed that when someone create or reply a topic no notification is created. This is a bit frustrating considering how important the notifications are to keep track of what is happening in the community.

Looking through the forum for a solution I found a topic with a similar subject, however when trying to use their code a empty notification is created (there is no text or description). Here is the topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-reply-notification-link-to-the-reply/

Anyone can tell me if the code above still working? I think that something changed since that this code was published, but I cant figured out what.

[Robin W]

the screenshot says that you are using buddypress and the buddypress profile as well, and that code is just for bbpress.

If you paste your reply immediately above on the buddypress support site, someone should be able to tell you the correct add_action to hook to buddypress profile

I just did that actually….didn’t see the notice until I activated the bbpress toolkit plugin previously. If I disable it, then it goes away. If I turn off debug in config, the message goes away.

[Martin J]

Greetings.

bbPress Version 2.5.14
Only shows if I have debug on, and noticed this on the main “forums” page. I should also mention that this started to show when I activated the bbPress Toolkit plugin Version 1.0.12

But when I noticed the error message related to a bbpress includes file, I thought I would post this.

[Martin J]

This shows up for me…

“Notice: Undefined index: forum_id in D:\xampp\htdocs\rp\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\forums\template.php on line 767”

Thank you. I was introduced to WordPress a few weeks ago so everything is new to me. If there is an alternate bbpress support plugin other than these two you recommended please let me know.

Hi

I am struggling with a login button within my page for bbpress. I have tried to use 2 different plugs and I am having 2 different problems. I dont want to use a sidebar option. If anyone can provide a solution to either one I would really appreciate it:

bbp style pack – When I select add login/logout to menu options it adds “Log In” to the navigation menu higher then the other menu options (ie. it sits vertically higher by about half the text height”. Can anyone help with how to align this with the other text?

bbpress WP tweaks – This provides an acceptable button to login however the login link takes me to the actual backend wordpress login page. Simply changing the href=” ” to the page on my website does not work either.

<p>{login_text} / {register_text}</p>

I would prefer to use the bbp style pack however either will do at this stage. I am very new to buidling websites and I don’t want to play around in the functions.php area at risk of crashing my entire site.

Thank you for your help.

[John James Jacoby]

This will be easier to do in bbPress 2.6. A bunch of hooks were added to the codebase to make status manipulation possible in many ways it was not previously.

Hello
I used travel log theme to install bbpress.But there is some bug.
In the lower left corner of each page of the forum, there is an “edit” button for Participant user, how to remove it?

[Robin W]

@clivesmith

If you fine with code, then this is how I would go about it

1. create a split in topic & replies, so you have a place to put the ‘featured reply’
Use this piece of code in your functions file

bbp_show_lead_topic

2. then you’ll need a flag for the featured reply.

This code does an ‘advert’ flag for a topic, but has much of the code you’d need to do a flag for a reply to show it is featured – I’ll leave you to work out which bits you’ll need, but the key is the hook to

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_submit_wrapper', 'at_checkbox' );

change this to

add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_submit_wrapper', 'at_checkbox' );

amend the references from topic to reply

and add some if(bbp_keymaster() ) to make it only show for you, and you will be most of the way there

// show the "Mark if it is an advert" checkbox on topic form
	add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_submit_wrapper', 'at_checkbox' );
		
function at_checkbox() {
    // Text for the topic form
	global $topic_advert_text ;
	?>
		<p>

			<input name="at_advert" id="at_advert" type="checkbox"<?php checked( '1', at_is_advert( bbp_get_topic_id() ) ); ?> value="1" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />

			<?php if ( bbp_is_topic_edit() && ( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) != bbp_get_current_user_id() ) ) : ?>

				<label for="at_advert"><?php echo '<span class="dashicons dashicons-awards"></span>'.$topic_advert_text.'</label>' ;?>

			<?php else : ?>

				<label for="at_advert"><?php echo '<span class="dashicons dashicons-awards"></span>'.$topic_advert_text.'</label>' ;?>

			<?php endif; ?>

		</p>
<?php
}
	
//check if topic is advert
function at_is_advert( $topic_id = 0 ) {
	
	$retval 	= false;

	if ( ! empty( $topic_id ) ) {
		$retval = get_post_meta( $topic_id, 'at_topic_is_advert', true );
	}
	return (bool) apply_filters( 'at_is_advert', (bool) $retval, $topic_id );
}

// save the advert state
		add_action( 'bbp_new_topic',  'at_update_topic' );
		add_action( 'bbp_edit_topic',  'at_update_topic' );

//update topic 
function at_update_topic( $topic_id = 0 ) {

		if( isset( $_POST['at_advert'] ) )
			update_post_meta( $topic_id, 'at_topic_is_advert', '1' );
		else
			delete_post_meta( $topic_id, 'at_topic_is_advert' );

	}

3. amend content-single-topic-lead.php in your child theme’s bbpress directory.

by

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-topic-lead.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-topic-lead.phpbbPress will now use this template instead of the original and you can amend this

This then you can use to add some code

if (at_is_advert( $reply_id )) then….. display this reply

and you should be there

so

the reply form will show a checkbox to make a reply featured available only to say keymaster, and as keymaster you can edit a topic to make it a featured
the content_single_topic_lead will check if a reply is featured and then show it if it is

I wish I had the time to code this all for you, but please if you do work oyt some code, post back here for other to benefit

[layan17]

Please, I will like to create a button to create a new topic on each forum page. Thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

bbpress does not do custom topic statuses, so they are coming from that support plugin, best post there as it is that plugin that needs to work with 2.6, but most plugin authors do not code for pre-release software as it changes.
