I’ve just done some testing

this code :

function test_set_user () {
$user_id = 1223 ;
bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, 'bbp_participant' );
}

add_action ('init' , 'test_set_user' ) ;

changes user 1223 on site load, so the code is fine.

I think it is a timing issue – ie when you are doing this. It may well be that even if this fires, a ‘create user’ firing after will overwrite this – eg this may set for pending, but then be overwritten by the final user creation.

Of course if it is always going to be participant, then bbpress allocates the user to the default role (as set in settings>forums>default role) if no bbpress role is set on first login, so you could just set up the user, and bbpress will take care of giving them a role when they first log in!

it is doable but would require bespoke coding

How to Hire a bbPress Expert for Quick Consults?

[yehiasalam]

Hello,

I have a wordpress installation with both bbpress and BuddyPress installed. I’m trying to create a user from code and automatically setting the forum role to participant. I tried using the bp_core_signup_user but it has not effect. This is the part of the code where im creating the user:

						// create the user from the bp_core method, to make sure it passes the activation mode first
						$user_id = bp_core_signup_user(
							$post->username,
							$post->password,
							$post->email,
							[]
						);
						bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, "bbp_participant" );

Attached is the user profile after creation from code:

What’s the best way to hire a bbPress Expert for a quick consult? I tried to hire someone through UpWork, but I got someone who didn’t know bbPress that well. I’m not a developer, even though I try to muck around and do things myself to save money. But knowing that an expert could quickly resolve issues, it would be great to have a bbPress expert available for quick fixes.

What’s the best way to find someone I can trust to do great work?

So i’ve just started to use bbpress and i need some help.
I’ve made the user registration and login pages but whenever someone log in, this black bar appears at the top
https://ibb.co/naHGEz
i’ve made login in other forums that work with bbpress and it doesn’t appear. If someone know what i’m doing wrong i’d love to know.

One more thing, i’ve been having some difficulty in design the fórum and setting it up properly. I have the bbpress complete pdf and found some other guides online but i’d like to know if any of you have some good start up guides for bbpress.

Thanks

I made pagination when threaded with reference to this page.
https://wpup.co/bbpress-threaded-nested-replies-with-paging/

And I made a mechanism to reply by ajax with reference to this page.
https://github.com/aliso/bbpress-ajax-replies/blob/master/bbpress-ajax-replies.php

However, the above two are incompatible, and you can not reply on the second and subsequent pages.

how can i make a pagination while using “bbPress Ajax Replies”?

Thanks.

Hiya

I haven’t been able to find an answer to this. Taking over a website that has been using Blog Posts as a Forum. Ideally, we’d do this properly using bbPress. There are hundreds of posts it’s a nightmare!

So is there a way to migrate blog posts to bbpress?

Thank you for the help in advance : ) I am desperate for a solution

Hey there,
i am now trying to change the search button from bbpress with that one from my theme.
If i change the class only the color is changing still there is shadow etc.
where i can modify this?

[nalfein]

Hello all

I need to have a feature in the forum
Basically I have some data stored in a db (i.e. United States / Nation of bla bla bla) and I need that in the forum the users can write :United States: (or <United States> or whatever is the command) so for those one that read the United States words are highlighted and with passing on the mouse or clicking the words a small window appears with
United States
Nation of bla bla bla

Is that possible using bbpress?
If yes a plugin is needed? What plugin?

Thank you all

[Milan Petrovic]

Few days ago I have released new plugin for bbPress to add advanced search form to replace bbPress default search page. More information about the plugin is available here:

GD Power Search Pro for bbPress

StreetLib Connect https://connect.streetlib.com is a bbpress-buddypress-powered forum and community about books by StreetLib, a full-featured service platform for authors and publishers.

The login system and the profiles are integrated with our own applications via CAS technology.

The forum is quite large, we have been able to semi-manually import an old SMF-powered forum with more than 150,000 messages. The difficult part was moving the automatically imported forum from a localhost bbpress to production.

We are using the 1925.4 patch to improve performance (queries, repair tools, etc. it would be unusable without it maybe).

So we are using the latest stable version 2.5 (patched) and the great OneSocial theme by BuddyBoss. Plus a lot of our own modifications.

Feel free to showcase our forum if you want, we would be glad!

… maybe a fix for this

bbp_reply_url not working for large topics

or this

Links to last post are wrong (pagination issue?)

would also work when the replies are sorted descending?

[wpGonzales]

Hi all,

Is there a way to sort replies descending from newest to oldest that works with pagination enabled?

I have found this abandoned plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-sort-topic-replies/
which allows me to change the sort order, but it breaks when also using pagination (see https://wordpress.org/support/topic/descending-order-conflicts-with-pagination/ )

Is there a changelog for the upcoming version 2.6 of bbpress? maybe there have been some changes in that area?

Thank you all for your work on making bbPress better!

Edit: My installation is WP 4.9.8 with bbpress 2.5.14 and “bbPress – Sort topic replies 1.0.3”

[wpGonzales]

Hi, I found the plugin “bbpress Sort Topic Replies” https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-sort-topic-replies/ can do that, but only for the first reply of a thread. Also, the plugin has not been updated for a long time, it seems to be abandoned.

[piccart]

ok thanks, I’ve created a ticket to report the bug:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3219

[Robin W]

I would first of all try the more up to date version of this

bbPress – Moderation Tools

and then reach out to the support forum of that pluigin

[lookingahead]

Hiya. I’m wondering where in the code the choice of template to use is made, when a forum is created.

I want bbPress to choose to use the Topic Discussion page template for its Forum page — the page that is created with the discussion itself for a topic — when it creates a new Forum….how do I get it to use that template instead?

I do not need a page that lists all topics for a forum; this is being built to be a one-topic forum; having a list of topics when there will only ever be one topic is just more clicking for my users to have to do, to get to the actual discussion.

I only want the discussion of the topic itself to populate, not a list of topics which is what the forum template does now.

Thoughts?

I need help with this plugin bbPress Moderation By Ian Stanley https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/
i use this to hold topics for moderation from my participants before publishing them, because not all topic i will want to publish. but the thing with this plugin is that it hold but topics and reply for moderation and has no option to separate them.
Is there any way like code that i can use to prevent topics from being moderated, only post should be held for moderation and the reply should not be held.

[Robin W]

add this to your functions file

function rew_min_length ($reply_content) {
	if (strlen($reply_content)<61) {
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_content', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your reply must be at least 60 characters.', 'bbpress' ) );
	}
return $reply_content ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'rew_min_length' );

[Robin W]

sorry, that’s how it works in bbpress.

But if you do get to someone who has coded, please post the result back here to help others.

my style pack plugin has a button you can add to the pages to make it clearer

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Buttons
