Hi,

If the post is edited, the original post will be gone.
How to keep the original post?

For example,
This reply was modified 1 second ago by bbpress. click to see original.

Anyone knows the custom code for it?

[Robin W]

that error suggests that your theme Stockholm and file js/plugins.js is the problem.

So it initially looks like enabling tinymce within bbpress is calling the tinymce or other code within your theme – the bbpress code you are using just turns on the wordpress function.

to prove, try switching as a test to a default theme, such as twentyseventeen and see if the error goes away

Hi,
I installed a theme that I bought on Themeforest.com and that has among the recommended plugins also bbpress. I activated the plugin and created the forum. I created test threads and I noticed that except in the root page, the menu always disappears in the internal pages of the forum.
It’s normal?

P.S. I do not know if to create problems can be the Polylang plugin

Forum

Thank You

Looks like a conflict between your theme, bbpress and 4.9.8.

It works fine with a default theme.

what theme are you using?

[smartplanhelp]

I believe my site was automatically updated to WordPress 4.9.8 today. I went to
Appearance -> Customize, and I got a 505 Internal Error page. After a bit of
digging, I found that bbpress v 2.5.14, when deactivated, makes this problem go
away. When I enable the plugin again, the problem returns. When Deactivated the
problem goes away again. Everything else seems to work fine except for the Customize under Appearance. Since this is isolated to bbpress, I figured I should notify you.

rewrite rules
This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

or

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

you can do it by amending a template if you know how to do ftp

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-forum.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-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so amend this template to read

<?php

/**
 * Single Forum Content Part
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	<div id="forum-intro">
	
	<?php if (bbp_get_forum_title() == 'technical' ) echo 'this is some content' ; ?>
	
	<?php if (bbp_get_forum_title() == 'leisure' ) 	echo 'this is some different content' ; ?>
	
	</div>

	<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

	<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>

	<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>

		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'protected' ); ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

		<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

		<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form',       'topic'     ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_single_forum' ); ?>

</div>

You will see I have added lines to change the content per forum

so the line

<?php if (bbp_get_forum_title() == 'technical' ) echo 'this is some content' ; ?>

says that if the forum is called ‘technical’ then write ‘this is some content’ so you simply need to change the forum name and what you want that forum content to be.

You can add additional lines for each forum, my example has two forums ‘technical’ and ‘leisure’

I’m trying to enable Visual Editor for my forum.
I’m using this code – https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/

However, it doesn’t work for me and i see this errors:

jquery.js?ver=1.12.4:2 Uncaught Error: no such method 'instance' for autocomplete widget instance
...
tinymce.min.js?ver=4711-20180425:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'refreshContentEditable' of undefined

My bbPress version is 2.5.14
Wordpress – 4.9.7

Tried to disable all plugins, didn’t help..

[macuhail]

The Use TinyMCE with BBPress plugin worked.

[kterva]

transitory solution
install plugin
Use TinyMCE with bbPress

[macuhail]

I am new to bbPress. I have it installed with the Genesis framework. I have also installed the bbPress Genesis Extend plugin.

I have a problem with the editor when making a post. The editor buttons are displaying vertically instead of horizontally in one row. I have attached a photo to illustrate.

How do I get the buttons to display properly?

I would really prefer that TOPIC publishing/editing be limited to MODERATORS with PARTICIPANTS limited to REPLY publishing/editing etc. This seems like an widely useful adaptation but I don’t see how to do it, either within bbPress or using other plugins such as Members. bbPress 2.5.14, wordpress 4.9.7

[jbulies]

Hello, I would like you to help me, I have been testing bbpress because they told me to create a forum for the web of my work and I have a problem. When I create a topic and click on the edit button that brings bbpress, it redirects me to a page that does not exist or that is not activated, I suppose. For example, if the topic is called a test, it redirects me to *** / test / edit / I hope you understand me. Well, edit does not exist … I can edit the topic from dashboard of wordpress but the idea is that users who register and create a debate can edit it …
The same thing happens to me when click on the username that created the topic and when click on merge . Those three links respond to a message from my website (page not found) edit, merge and the user.
I can not show you the web link because it belongs to a private network.
I’ve already tried disabling all the plugins, changing the theme and finally a wordpress mounted on my laptop to test and nothing.
please help
Jose Bulies

bbPress reply from admin panel is not user friendly.

How a non-technical person will understand that they should put the forum topic id there?

Instead it’d be better if we can load topics in a dropdown menu when the forum is chosen.

[Robin W]

from your post I suspect you have already seen

Custom Subscriptions Email

Sorry, I still haven’t got round to this one 🙁

[matty1995]

Since the BBpress install, my blog page turned into something like

/topic_binned/blog/
/topic/blog/

Opposed to just /blog/

Does anyone know how to fix this? I’ve been ripping my hair out all morning over this. I tried to put a redirect in, but it becomes a redirect loop. Furthermore, I’d prefer to not redirect, I’d prefer it to just go back to /blog/

Thanks in advance,
Matt

[demonboy]

I’ve spent some time trawling through the net looking for a working plugin that allows users to ‘thank’ or ‘like’ a post in the forum but I can’t find anything.

Any clues or suggestions?

Cheers

[sleestak]

Oops…that’s the BuddyPress version. I am using 2.5 of bbPress.

[sleestak]

I am on the latest version (3.1.0) of bbPress and I have enabled Reply Threading in the Settings; however, my replies are still showing at the same level as the original message. I am using the Enfold theme.

Is this an issue with the latest version or is there something else I need to do to enable it?

[Robin W]

I would like to create a forum that is free for all to view but can only be contributed to by registered user of the website. So creating new topics and replying/commenting in the tread is only available to those who are registered. However anyone can read the thread and hopefully its contents will be searchable by google

This is the default.

If you set then forum to public, but ensure that anonymous posting is off

dashboard>settings>forums>anonymous posting

Then all can see, but only registered users can post

bbpress just uses wordpress login, so any wordpress login will work, so logging onto the website also gives access to the forums

[clutchbasketcbt]

Hi all,

I am new to wordpress and I am struggling to set up a forum on my webpage that has the features I want.

I would like to create a forum that is free for all to view but can only be contributed to by registered user of the website. So creating new topics and replying/commenting in the tread is only available to those who are registered. However anyone can read the thread and hopefully its contents will be searchable by google.

I am not sure if I need a specific plugin for this task or if the two I have attempted to do this with are adequate with better knowledge. (bbpress and Discussion Board)

It would also be my preference for the user to log in to the website, rather than just the forum but I would settle for the latter if the former is not easily attainable.

I would really appreciate any info that anyone has on the subject because I am not a web developer! Webpages look so simple before you find out what goes into them.
