Hi everyone,
I’ve been struggling to find the right solution for my needs. So many wonderful things out here, such as bbPress, but for me it’s still missing the ability to create a Topic by email.

I had tried a great listserv plugin called WP Mailster but it doesn’t when it stopped working recently the developer wasn’t responsive. My groups are left in limbo and I need to resolve this asap.

I’ve just set up bbPress and BuddyPress and a plugin BuddyBoss’s Reply by Email and it’s almost there. The functionality that’s still missing is users being able to create new topics in their own inboxes.

I have 6 different private groups. Ideally, members will mail the group and can reply to posts via email. All the messages are also archived and viewable through a website, but I don’t want members to have to visit the site in order to post a topic.

If you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them!

Thanks,
Allyson

Hi all,

I’m trying to integrate the BuddyPress favorite (aka like system) system with BBPress.

But I can not implement ajax and the page will be reloaded.

How do I write it?

▼【functions.php】

function my_bp_activity_is_favorite($activity_id) { 
  global $bp, $activities_template;  
  return apply_filters( 'bp_get_activity_is_favorite', in_array( $activity_id, (array)$activities_template->my_favs ) );  
}  
function my_bp_activity_favorite_link($activity_id) {  
  global $activities_template;  
  echo apply_filters( 'bp_get_activity_favorite_link', wp_nonce_url( site_url( BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG . '/favorite/' . $activity_id . '/' ), 'mark_favorite' ) );  
}  
function my_bp_activity_unfavorite_link($activity_id) { 
  global $activities_template;  
  echo apply_filters( 'bp_get_activity_unfavorite_link', wp_nonce_url( site_url( BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG . '/unfavorite/' . $activity_id . '/' ), 'unmark_favorite' ) );  
}  

▼【bbPress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single.php】

<div id="post-<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-header">

  <!--omission-->

    <div class="favorite-wrap">
        <?php $activity_id = get_post_meta( bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id ), '_bbp_activity_id', true ); ?>  
        <?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>  
            <?php bp_has_activities(); ?>   
            <?php if ( !my_bp_activity_is_favorite($activity_id) ) : ?>  
                <a href="<?php my_bp_activity_favorite_link($activity_id) ?>" 
                class="button fav bp-secondary-action bp-tooltip" data-bp-tooltip="add" aria-pressed="false">
                <span class="bp-screen-reader-text">add</span>
                </a> 
            <?php else : ?>  
                <a href="<?php my_bp_activity_unfavorite_link($activity_id) ?>" 
                class="button unfav bp-secondary-action bp-tooltip" data-bp-tooltip="remove" aria-pressed="false">
                <span class="bp-screen-reader-text">remove</span>
                </a>
            <?php endif; ?>  
        <?php endif;?>  
    </div>

  <!--omission-->

</div><!-- #post-<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?> -->

Help for figuring this one out is appreciated.
Best regards

Hello everyone.
Website: Link
WordPress version: 4.9.8
bbPress version: 2.5.14

Despite reading many threads about this, I still couldn’t figure out a way to change the language of the forum to hebrew. I will work you through what I did:

1. Download bbPress.

2. Add all the pages (login, register etc.) to the menu. (since the website is in hebrew, you can the pages find it under the second last menu item).

3. Download the hebrew .po and .mo files and put them in the directory /wp-content/languages/bbpress with the proper name (bbpress-he_IL.po and bbpress-he_IL.mo)

4. Check the websites register and login pages, still in english.

5. Edit “wp-config.php” file and added “define(‘BBLANG’, ‘bbpress_he_IL’);”.

6. Check the websites register and login pages, still in english.

Also things I have tried:
– Putting the .po and .mo files under /wp-content/languages/plugins/.

– Made sure I don’t have a translation update under “Dashboard -> Updates” in wordpress.

Important Note:
The hebrew is not 100% finished, but from this guide I understood that it doesn’t matter as long as I manually override it.

So the bottom line is – I really need help figuring that out. What am I missing?
Thanks for everyone who read and help,
Eitan.

I am using Image Upload for BBPress on my forum. This plugin allows users to insert images in posts.

I, forum admin as well as moderators can align images but normal users can’t.

I think there are permission issues.

How can i whitelist these tags class="alignright", class="alignnone", class="aligncenter", class="alignleft" for normal user?

I’ve built a few ios/android bbpress apps now. It is not a “quick” or cheap solution however! You can contact me if you are interested: http://www.tkserver.com/contact/

[TKServer]

I’ve built 3 custom bbpress ios/android apps now. One for myself and two for clients. Each site has such different needs that a generic, one size fits all solution for an app would be hard to pull off. Not impossible. One issue would be that the app has to be available on say iTunes, requiring a paid developer license and support and so-on. That app would have to have a setting somewhere to add the domain of the bbpress it is going to connect to. So that app would not be affiliated necessarily with your site, but a generic app. Otherwise, you’d have to have a developer account and do all the PITA stuff it takes to get your app launched, which means a lot of custom work.

[Robin W]

bbpress just us wordpress login, so the issue is probably outside bbpress.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all and see if this fixes. if it does, start with bbpress and 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

that is the definitive way, but you could start with any plugins that relate to logging in if you have any.

[kristenkoster]

Final solution: installed and am using your bbpress wp4 fix plugin and that solved the issue of forum contents not appearing.

[planeo8]

Running WP 4.9.8 and bbPress 2.5.14

Site URL is https://forum.bcyc.org/

I would like to move the only bbPress forum at this URL to another WordPress site (different domain – different URL).

I don’t see an export/import feature in bbPress

Can this be done? If so, please advise on how.

Thanks.

Hi,
I have the WP page http://www.jdmspritturkey.com and the phpbb forum http://www.jdmspiritturkey.com/forum and its all alive for 2 years. I have some problems with the phpbb so i want to import it to bbpress so the portal and the forum will be fully integrated.

If i import to bbpress what will happen to wp portal writings, users etc or is there any strategy with no casulties?

Our wp page version is 4.9.8 and the phpbb is 3.2.2

Thanks for the answers.

[elawrenc01]

Hi,

PHPBB is now on 3.22 . Apparently a bunch of the table columns have changed.

I’m willing to install bbpress 2.6 to see what happens, I have installed a test wordpress site, but I can’t seem to find where to download it.

Any info about converting a 3.22 PHPBB database?

[Robin W]

I’m not aware of anything in bbpress that would do this. Bbpress just checks if the user is registered. Are you running caching software ?

[davemccourt]

Hello,

First time bbPress user. When new participants register they can’t create new topics for around 15 minutes.

Is this a standard feature and can it be disabled? I have a forum behind a login area so we are able to filter out bots.

Many thanks

[cedluck]

Hi there,
Regarding the bbPress documentation, Forum Participant role should access the edit _topics ability and therefore have an edit topic link displayed on the topics they owned which is not the case for me. I wonder if there is anything to do to make it work. At the moment only the Forum Moderator role and of course the Admin role are capable to see that link, but I don’t want to assigne this roles to people as I only want them to edit their own topics.

Here’s some little screens to show you the problem :

With this role assigned :

The problem stands in Appearance / Widgets. I add the AdRotate + other plugins inside bbPress Sidebar, but it they are not displayed.

I would like to change the scope of the question, but I don’t know if I have the permissions.

[zcoin]

Hello,

I would like to use AdRotate Banner Manager on my bbPress site and I tried to follow the basic tutorial from here: AdRotate tutorial

As a summary, I created a dummy page with my image and embedded link advert – so its working. However, inserting the same code into a new advert inside AdRotate Banner Manager has no effect on my page.

I save the advert for a group and from the group setting, I selected page injection into some of the site pages. It doesn’t appear on none.

Maybe there is a visibility issue? Or the theme DiBusiness does not support AdBanner? I disabled any add block on my site.

Thank you for any help.

[Robin W]

Thanks, I took a second look at this and I put a filter into my style pack plugin a while ago to stop blocked users getting emails as bbpress does not do this.

If you want to do this directly, add this to your functions file

function rew_fltr_get_forum_subscribers( $user_ids ) {
        if (!empty( $user_ids ) ) {
                $new_user_ids = array();
                foreach ($user_ids as $uid) {
                        if (bbp_get_user_role($uid) != 'bbp_blocked') {
                                $new_user_ids[] = $uid;
                        }
                }
                return $new_user_ids;
        } else {
                return $user_ids;
        } 
}; 
// add the filter

if(!function_exists('bbptoolkit_fltr_get_forum_subscribers')){
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_user_ids', 'rew_fltr_get_forum_subscribers', 10, 1 );
}

This is complementary to this recent post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/remove-members-from-forum/

I’m trying to figure out a solve for users that are no longer paying members who have left the membership and are still receiving email notifications for topics or forums they’ve subscribed to.

I understand the way the membership software and bbPress could be improved, however, until that happens, I need a workaround even if it’s manual.

I tried changing the status of a user, per Robin’s suggestion to “blocked”, however, they are still receiving notifications.

Any other suggestions?

The user cannot edit these themselves, since they’ve left the membership.

[Robin W]

simplest way would be to use my bbp style pack plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>freshness display

if you want to edit a file, then ensure you do this to a copy in a bbpress folder in your child theme.

you’ll find the original template you want to alter in

templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php

[petersweb]

Checking again if anyone is able to assist me.

I am happy to pay for someone to perform the migration work to bbPress.

ok do not worry, I deleted the forum and uninstalled the bbpress plugin.

[richard.miller]

As of the beginning of August, two strange things began happening with emojis:

1) The emoji appears properly in the editor (visual AND text), but displays as “?” in the published post.

2) All previously-published emoji icons changed to a single style, independent of browser, OS, and device.

(Note: Robin Wilson’s “add visual editor” plugin has been enabled)

Great thanks for your help…

well not sure what used to be there – but bbpress had some spam authors I was trying to search for – but i do not think they were created as users. Is this possible? I did have incorrect settings to allow posts without first having user (now changed)

so in my case – I couldn’t search for users (there were none) or authors – correct?

Any way – thanks for the help and have a great vacation!
