I’m creating a forum website and wish to add a particular sidebar to the right of the forum table with specific bbPress widgets. However, all plugins that allow new sidebars to be created require an existing sidebar to be replaced. Now my problem is that the only existing sidebar in the Forum page is the footer sidebar. which can’t be removed, and so, how do I create a completely new sidebar in a location where there is no sidebar previously existing (forum page)?

P.S.- I am using twenty seventeen theme.

UPDATE
I tried changing the settings in Polylang to remove language prefix in the URL and everything is working now.

However, may I know if I wish to have ‘zh’ in the URL as prefix then how do I approach to solve the issue? I believe the issue is caused by the language prefix which bbPress does not recognize it by default.

I wanted to know if you can help me.

I get to import everything except the users.

I’m trying to import a phpBB3.2.2 to bbPress.
I’ve tried with bbPress 2.5.14, bbPress 2.6 RC5 and bbPress 2.6 beta2.
I’ve tried in the 3 modes with the phpBB.php of dintintos topics but none of them work for me;
– https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php
– https://gist.github.com/pixelnated/5c27a64c450578440554ba902560178f

I’m desperate. could you help me?

This is very interesting. Is there any way to incorporate this into a registration form for bbpress so that members can register and post to the bbpress forum at the same time?

I implemented this as described here, but posts made to bbpress using the registration form are given the username ‘anonymous’. I assume this is because no reference is made to userid in the php snippet — and perhaps also because users do not get logged in upon registration?

Hi guys,

May I know why is language code missing bbPress search page URL? I have a multi language website using Polylang and everything works except for the bbPress function. It only returns the English data instead of the Chinese data.

Anyone know the solution to fix this?

Hello,
I am trying to make a custom “order by”. I need to make a Newest Replies but leave out a particular forum. How might one go about doing that. I have searched, poked and prodded and come out empty handed. thanks for any help.

Hi guys,

I tried out bbpress recently and I am developing a multilingual website with polylang. Everything is working well and I created two forums with one for English and one for Chinese.

However, the search function for bbpress seems to only work for the default English forum even tho the user is on Chinese or English state of the website.

I tried to switch to the default templates but the issue is still there.

Does anyone have this issue and how do you solve it?

This seems to be a solution from this thread

Getting WP Super Cache / W3 Total Cache to work with bbPress 2.0

Under page cache is an option called “Never cache the following pages:” I just added in /forum*

[only4gamers]

I am facing a Conflict between bbpress and w3 total cache. When I post or reply anything as admin i can see it. But as a normal user I can’t. But after clearing cache from w3, everything I can see as a normal user too. Please help me as I already wasted many hours in Google to find the solution but not find anything helpful.

I just want to know how purge cache after every update in topics and replies in bbpress?

If this is not possible then tell me how disable caching for bbpress only?

I’ve got activity enabled on Buddypress, and the @mentions also ‘work’ in bbpress to an extent. I’m speaking about the nice auto-suggestions box that comes up when you begin to type @mentions. It may seem like a small thing, but the @tag functionality isn’t really there without it. If you get the name spelling or forget a hyphen then the tag won’t work.

Do you get an autosuggest box on your site, or do you get notifications through a quote system?

Hi,

My plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has a tool for deleting all IP’s logged when users create topics or replies. And it has Privacy options to disable IP logging.

Hi,

My plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has a feature for users to Report topics/replies (with an optional text field to write why it should be reported), and administrators can review all reports and act on them.

@mentions work on my site in BBpress. You need to have the Activity function enabled in Buddypress.

Hi there!

i have a question:
this is my site: http://www.hiphopsardo.it
is it possible to create for each sections a discussion on bbpress?
For example:

Discografia http://www.hiphopsardo.it/discografia/ (custom post types) -> create for each a forum discussion here: http://www.hiphopsardo.it/forums/forum/discografia/

same for the other menus: Artists (custom post types), Recensioni (posts) etc…

i’ve tried the plugin “bbPress Topics for Posts” but it seems to be limited only to normal posts and you cannot divide the discussions per Category…

do you guys have any advice how to make it?

Thanks!
Andreas

Hi all,

I’m interested as to whether I can integrate the funcionality of buddypress reply forms into my bbpress forum {avatar display, fancy javascript stuff like @mentions suggestions box).

Has anyone tried this?

[jomo]

you may not want to add to the end of the menu, I’ve posted an alternative on:

How Do I link to Profile Page

to allow a simple link to forums/users/current/ to be replaced with the current user id or redirect to login

[jomo]

I added an alternative simple answer on more recent thread:

How Do I link to Profile Page

[90daykorean]

Currently in our forums, the bbpress username below the avatar seems to be the WordPress username.

How can I change it to be the username from BuddyPress?

Thanks!

Running WordPress 4.9.6 and bbPress version 2.5.14

When someone goes to https://www.togetherpuertorico.com/forums/forum/volunteer-events-opportunities/ and enters their correct username and password and clicks on login, it takes them to the default wordpress login page rather than logging them into their bbPress account.

If they login on the default /wp-login.php page and then go back to https://www.togetherpuertorico.com/forums/forum/volunteer-events-opportunities/ it appears as though they are still not logged in, but if you click the refresh button in Chrome, it now appears that they are logged in.

I’ve tested this with both a wordpress admin user level account and a standard bbPress Subscriber, Participant user role status.

I’ve looked in the server php error log and nothing is recorded.

I’ve reverted back to the default TwentySeventeen theme to see if the theme we are using was the cause, but it still didn’t work.

[MBV]

So this is what I understand from this thread so far, to provide clarity moving forwards:

1. Dynamic reply box that opens next to post replying to in forum is actually already a feature of bbpress, but not for BuddyPress group forums.
2. Some themes seem to not engage this functionality and the way to fix that is to copy the reply.js file into a folder called js that is at the root of child theme.
3. It works with visual editor

So the only problem is that it does not work for Buddypress Group forums. However, @robkk mentioned, earlier in this thread, a patch he made. But he has not been active on these forums for over a year.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2974
It is pretty easy to workaround this issue as well, since all you have to do is enqueue the javascript with a different conditional or enqueue it sitewide, but doing it sitewide might cause another issue somewhere.
Here I just added a bbpress-functions.php file to a twentysixteen child theme. I edited out the conditional causing the issues with groups. You can test this on my test site as well.
You would have to remove the file later if the trac tickets patch I linked to is committed and you are using version 2.6 of bbPress, so that you can have the file enqueued on the pages where it is needed.
https://cloudup.com/czqFBqJE8TE

The trac ticket he mention seems to be resolved yet it’s not working for BP group forums. The link to the code on cloudup is broken.

So that’s the summary of where we are at on this thread… the big question is, does anyone have any insight or can help with enabling the dynamic reply box to BP group forums topics?

Hi Robin,

Of course it’s super relevant for people wanting to build their own app using bbpress API.

But for noobs like myself who just want a mobile platform for their community without becoming app developers, I think Topic’it looks really promising.

Thanks for your bbpress advice and plugins btw, would be lost without them!

WordPress v: 4.9.6

Theme: Avada (unrelated to the issue)

I am in the process of migrating a vBulletin DB to bbPress, however, some of the topics in the DB are very old and have been inactive for a number of years.
What are my options regarding the removal of these old entries from the DB?

I feel like I’m the only person that wants to do something like this since I have been unable to find anything relating to old content cleaning on your forum, Google, or the WordPress plugin repository.

Where would I find information on changing the CODE /CODE button in bbpress to act like the wordpress CODE insert?

In other words in bbpress clicking the CODE button gives you`
in WordPress clicking the CODE button gives you < code > < /code >

I’m having an issue with a plugin since it handles how my CODEs are displayed and one or the other is broke pending which settings I use.

I hope that makes sense..
