I’ve hired someone from Upwork to fix my bbPress implementation… He says he needs to use my cPanel. As a non-developer, this makes me nervous. SHOULD I BE WORRIED? SHOULD I ALLOW THIS?

If so, what precautions should I take?

Thank you!!

I’m installing bbPress on a site using a lightly tweaked twenty sixteen theme. Testing how it would work for a normal user, I opened an incognito window, registered using a new username and password. When I login with these credentials, I get an admin bar across the top of the page with the “Howdy” message on the right and access to a very limited admin panel (because my status is “Subscriber, Participant”). How do I prevent this admin bar from showing when ordinary subscribers login?

Hi all,

I have created a backup “export.xml” of my old wordpress site and have gone to imported it onto my new site (the rebuild). When I exported I exported all of my content (including bbpress options).

Nothing relating to bbpress is importing. All my pages, posts, users, etc.. import, but not bbpress.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Cheers,
Chris.

Hi All,

So, I’m trying to build site using Asphostportal hosting services. I actually have something pretty nice. One of the things I wanted to do was add a forum. Talking with the Asphostportal tech support people, they suggested getting wordpress (hosted through them) and then downloading the bbPress plugin, and easy-as-pie – NOW YOU HAVE A MESSAGE BOARD!

But that’s where they left me.

I’ve been trying for hours to figure out how you go from the dashboard, which is basically a blogger UI, to turning it into a message board. For years, I was an admin for a little board we all ran, but it was a YaBB board and everything I had to do, I did from the admin panel.

Is there a simple way to make this plugin look and behave like a message board?

Please help this poor little sheep.

Realized part of it, it is looking for a .min.css version, and I only had bbpress.css. When I copied the bbpress.css file to bbpress.min.css in my child theme it found it.

[scmsteve]

Noticed when migrating from 2.5.12 to 2.6 beta 2 (and also in RC1 and RC3), that my custom CSS file in mytheme/css/bbpress.css is no longer being detected.

I am seeing that here as well… Since your post was never commented on, I don’t know if it was ignored or simply thought irrelevant. Or maybe missed. 🙂

Looking at the HTML between the old site and a test site running the SVN pull of 2.6, it seems that previously as part of the enqueue_styles() call, it generated:

<link data-asynced="1" as="style" onload="this.rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot;" rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="https://siteurl/wp-content/themes/mythemename/css/bbpress.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

Now it is generating:

<link data-asynced="1" as="style" onload="this.rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot;" rel="stylesheet" id="bbp-default-css" href="https://siteurl/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.min.css" type="text/css" media="all">

So, it is not looking in the site css folder, but instead pulling from the plugin folder.

Is this intentional? If not, is there a fix/workaround?

It’s true that forums/topics/replies do not have their own embed templates.

I’m honestly not sure if linking them works at all. I’ll give it a try here:

Hi!

I want to hide all the columns (Posts, Topics, Voices, Freshness) except the Forum and Topic.
Everything is working fine except the column size of Forum column is not changing. Here is the css:

/* To hide VOICE, REPLY, POSTS and FRESHNESS columns in bbPress */

li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-forum-freshness {
    display: none !important;
}

li.bbp-topic-voice-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-freshness {
    display: none !important;
}

li.bbp-forum-info,
li.bbp-topic-title {
	float: left;
	text-align: left;
	width: 100%;
}

/* End */

Please help.

Well just incase other people finds this thread.. My Template Part had bugs too.. Here is the one that worked:

<?php

/**
 * Single Thread
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

  // $threadURL = bbp_topic_permalink(); // Deprecated ////
  // $threadTitle = bbp_topic_title(); // Deprecated ////
  // $threadTIme = bbp_topic_post_date(); // Deprecated ////
  ///////////////// Thread Author Avatar URL ////////////////////////
  $user_id = bbp_get_user_id( $user_id );
  $authorAvatarURL = get_avatar_url( $user_id, 300 );
  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  // $threadVoiceCount = bbp_topic_voice_count(); // Deprecated ////

?>

<div class="swiper-slide-item">
    <div class="icon-author" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>'); background-image: -webkit-image-set(url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>') 1x, url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>') 2x);"></div>
    <a href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <time class="data" datetime="<?php bbp_topic_post_date(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_post_date(); ?></time>
    <span class="views"><i class="fa fa-comment-alt"></i><?php bbp_topic_reply_count(); ?></span>
</div>

The bbPress Functions does not want to be assigned to variable as Unlike the GET_ they do not return values, they echo.

Thanks.

Hello there,

Firstly thank you for viewing this thread, really appreciate.

I am trying to create a topic loop to display in my in development theme. I have created a template part in my theme-directory/bbpress/omna-forumthreads see below:

<?php

/**
 * Single Thread
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

  $threadURL = bbp_topic_permalink();
  $threadTitle = bbp_topic_title();
  $threadTIme = bbp_topic_post_date();
  ///////////////// Thread Author Avatar URL ////////////////////////
  $user_id = bbp_get_user_id( $user_id );
  $authorAvatarURL = get_avatar_url( $user_id, 300 );
  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  $threadVoiceCount = bbp_topic_voice_count();

?>

<div class="swiper-slide-item">
    <div class="icon-author" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>'); background-image: -webkit-image-set(url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>') 1x, url('<?php echo $authorAvatarURL; ?>') 2x);">
    </div><<?php echo $threadURL; ?>"><?php echo $threadTitle; ?></a></h2>
        <time class="data" datetime="<?php echo $threadTIme; ?>"><?php echo $threadTIme; ?></time>
        <span class="views"><i class="fa fa-comment-alt"></i><?php echo $threadVoiceCount; ?></span>
    </div>
</div>

And i believe this should work, But currently i have issues with the loop that should display it by driving the content from the template part. Here is my loops:

<div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <div class="swiper-slide">
       <div class="swiper-slide-container">
          <?php
             if ( bbp_has_topics() ):
                while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();
                   bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/omna', 'forumthreads' )
                endwhile;
             endif;
          ?>
       </div>
    </div>
 </div>

Now i get a pass error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘endwhile’ (T_ENDWHILE) in C:\wamp\www\omna\wp-content\themes\omna\page-home.php on line 143

I have also tried the curly brace {} type of IF & WHILE expressions, still a parse error..

Please Help.

I seem to have an error with the page previews as you can see over here. As you can see in the first reply in this link, page preview for WP pages works fine, the problem only occurs with BBpress related urls (second post). In the image below I marked it with red:

When I disable the GP Premium plugin the preview dissapears and it only shows the title as an url inside a blockquote. BUT looking at the source code the wrong preview is still there. Changing class wp-embedded-content position: absolute; to position: relative; makes it visable again.

Disabling all plugins, switching to another theme or deleting all custom css is of no influence. WordPress and all plugins are up to date.

What is the best support ticket plugin or service available for WordPress that integrates well with bbPress

[bamadale]

THANK YOU for this post!

I cannot remember if this defaults to both being enable at the same time, but if they are, bbPress should consider adding some notes about this in the Settings.

Thanks again! Dale

Hi,

I added Customfields to BBpress reply form by this code:

//Input on BBP reply form
function bbp_extra_reply_fields() {
$custom = get_post_meta( bbp_get_reply_id(), 'bbp_custom', true);
echo '<fieldset class="bbp-form bbp-form-add">';
echo "<p><input id='bbp_reply_custom' type='text' name='bbp_custom' value='".$custom."'></p>";
echo '</fieldset>';
}
add_action ( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content', 'bbp_extra_reply_fields');

//Register to Detabase
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_save_reply_extra_fields', 10, 1 );
add_action( 'bbp_edit_reply', 'bbp_save_reply_extra_fields', 10, 1 );
function bbp_save_reply_extra_fields( $reply_id ) {
if (isset($_POST) && $_POST['bbp_custom']!='') {
update_post_meta( $reply_id, 'bbp_custom', $_POST['bbp_custom'] );
}
}

//Output to BBP reply
function inputBBPreply_outputBBPreply() {
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id();
$reply_custom = get_post_meta( $reply_id, 'reply_custom', true);
return '<div>'.$reply_custom.'</div>';
}

//Output to Buddypress activity
function inputBBPreply_outputBPactivity() {
//What should I write?
}

But this code dose not show at BuddyPress activity.

What should I write?

Thanks

I just started using bbpress for the first time.
i created one category and a post under it. i also made 2 posts without putting under any category.
on the forum main page only the category i created is visible.
where are the posts i created without assigning category? how can i see them?
and later can i assign them a category? how?

[elawrenc01]

Just an update, I was able to successfully import a PHPBB 3.22 database into Bbpress, including users. I hope to try it again with a bigger database, but so far, so good.

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

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.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Ahoy,
I am using

bbPress 2.5.14-6684
BuddyPress 3.1.0
bbp style pack 3.9.6
WordPress 4.9.8
running Bento (Child) theme
on this page bomb.bio/forum

I am having a problem with the insert/edit image button (in the text version the img button) not working. Image links added this way do not display.
Posting the same link without the tag automaticaly added when using this button works fine as long as they are in a new line.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get this to work? Even removing the misleading button or changing the button functionality so it wont add the tag which seems to make the link not work would be better than the current situation.

I can’t code. I am only able to copy paste and to some degree alter code that i am given. I do have a working child theme if that helps.

Thank you very much!!!
Tim

I am getting a 404 error on all of my forum reply RSS feeds like this one: https://appletoolbox.com/forums/reply/reply-to-ipod-setting/feed/ and I am not sure why.

My normal topic RSS feeds work just fine: https://appletoolbox.com/forums/topic/ipod-setting/feed/

Is there any way to fix these 404 errors OR is there a way to disable RSS feeds for the replies and/or bbpress as a whole?

Thank you in advance for any guidance!

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses wordpress registration, so this is not really a bbpress issue.

I’d look at what registration plugins you may have running
