Hi,
what I am looking is a button to put “like” or “dislike” in the post in bbpress forums as it would be a facebook publication with “Likes”. I understand that Jetpack not help in that sense.
Thanks

Hello,

I am building a BBpress forum for my clients using LearnDash Learning system… It is well integrated, but there is one big issue: I use WooCommerce, so their usernames are auto-generated from email during purchase. So then, they logins (and often names) are visible in forums, sometimes with the Avatar photos…
So my question is: Is there a trick to fix this and anonymise, or simply to hide the user names in the forum to protect their privacy? Thanks a lot for any help! Jan

I’m probably not the only one who experienced this.

When using buddypress along with bbpress, users can create groups and have group forums. This is awesome, however In the forum index, it’s starting to get long as more and more buddypress group forums are being created.

Is there anyway to set a max for visible # of groups in the index?

Perhaps show the latest active ones?

This can be done, but requires you to be able to use FTP and edit a file

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

so open the file and you will see starting at line 17

<dt><?php _e( 'Registered Users', 'bbpress' ); ?></dt>
	<dd>
		<strong><?php echo esc_html( $stats['user_count'] ); ?></strong>
	</dd>

remove this and save the file back to wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-statistics.php

I am using WP Courseware to sell courses and I want course participants to get access to a course forum for each course they take. When they sign up they should get access to the forums for the classes they paid for. Any ideas on how to do this?

In reference to the widget, “(bbpress) Forums List: Forums”..

Is there anyway to show all of the forums in a forum?

By this I mean, show all forums in a parent forum?

The widget asks for a Parent Forum ID: “0” to show only root – “any” to show all”

I’ve been trying to find out how to get this to work, but I’m having no luck.

Hi,
I am looking for a “Like button” or something similar for forums of bbpress. Would you recommend a plugin for it?
Thanks

[Alex Luft]

Wow, looks like Automattic has really let bbPress become a stagnant piece of software and community. Perhaps it’s time to look for another forum.

Robin, I installed the bbp-style-pack plugin. But there is not option to edit a single forum link. I saw options to change home link and forums link.

I created a Single forum page with short code: [bbp-single-forum id=12]. I disabled the forums slug on the bread crumbs
step 1: Home Page › Student Forum
step 2: Home Page › Student Forum › Features of Site Wide Forum

From here when I click on the student forum it redirects me to the student forum and not the page I created with the student forum short code in it.

wordpress version: WordPress 4.9.5
bbpress version: Version 2.5.14

I created a Single forum page with short code: [bbp-single-forum id=12]

from the single forum page I navigate to one of the topics. when I click on the single forum page link it redirects me to the single forum but not to the page I created. I disabled the forums links in the bread crumbs. Is there a way to edit the link for the single forum so that I could point it the page I created.

hello!

I am having a problem with the oembed content cards when I try to link a forum topic. The preview fails and the oembed url pulls the entire page within the iframe rather than the preview..

I thought it could have been a conflict with a plugin, but then I tried to link a post from this forum and the embed url didn’t work either…
by instance this is a random post from this forum:

Copy Link in Forum. WP logo inside

and as you can see the embed endpoint is failing to serve the preview and serves the page itself within the iframe: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/copy-link-in-forum-wp-logo-inside/embed/#?secret=haTqetxPLX

We have the latest version of wp and bbpress, and I’ve been told that in the past the card was rendering correctly for forum topics too..

Any help would be really appreciated!
thanks in advance!

Hello everyone 🙂
I am currently trying to migrate a vBulletin 3.8.1 to a BBpress.
The import this goes well via the vBulletin 3 import tools but from a certain moment after about 20h of import that if no more progress?

He’s always mooching to “Answer Conversion (363500 – 363599)”
No error message or other:(

Do you have any idea?
Info about my vBulletin table // https://ibb.co/mJunoy

[Robin W]

need a link to your site and an example, but

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

Hi Everyone, I am super frustrated with BBPress… I have been working on my forum and whenever anyone replies, the reply goes to the top of the page in a white box. And, whenever a new reply comes in, it replaces the previous reply at the top of the page with the new reply. I have the threading section of WordPress already enabled so I am confused on why the reply is even going there at all. PLEASE HELP ME!! I cant find any information on any previous questions on the blog here and nobody from wordpress has successfully been able to help me.

here is a link as to what I am talking about.

I set my forum and went to reorder them, I used 0, 5, 10, 15, etc to make sure I had enough spacing if I ever added more forums/categories. They all saved and show this updated order, but when I look in the frontend of the site, they still show up in the old order. I deleted bbPress, reinstalled and it was still showing. Cleared my cache, checked with other browsers and devices, still there. I deleted the forums so they don’t exist at all and they are still showing up…

any ideas why I can’t reorder or edit them at all? I checked with the base 2017 theme as well.

Hi folks,

Our forum is getting spammed by bots pretty bad, to the tune of 200-300 new spam topics per day. It’s a battle to clean it every hour.

We have Akismet enabled and it’s picking up some of the spam topics on the bbPress forum. I feel like if I mark more of the spam topics as spam, Akismet will do a better job. But here’s the catch.

The bbPress moderation page doesn’t give me the ability to mark topics as spam in bulk. I can only mark new topics as spam one-by-one, which makes moderation extremely more tedious and time-consuming.

Is there a way to mark topics as spam in bulk (selecting multiple topics, and using the moderation drop-down)? I currently my only options in the drop-down are “Move to Trash” and “Edit”. I can mark bulk spam comments on our WordPress blog as spam, but not with bbPress.

bbPress Version: 2.5.8
WordPress Version: 4.4

Thanks so much for any and all help!

Hi there,

I just installed bbPress on my site and I created a bbpress.php template based on a full width page template from my theme (thrivethemes).

However, there is some weird CSS bugs on my forum place. How do I fix them?

Really appreciate the help from this friendly community!

Cheers.

I solved it, well, someone far smarter than I has and I’ve found their answer.

So, I didn’t realise, but you EITHER have nested replies OR thread pages, for BB Press.

With my limited understanding, I’ve simply turned off nested replies (sadly).

But, it does look like it’s possible for people to do both, if they’re a bit more advanced than me!

I went to Settings/bbPress No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA Settings but I don’t see anywhere to change the settings to invisible.

There is a whole wordpress group looking at GDPR compliance.

In all honesty I don’t think anyone knows what ‘compliance’ means – even the regulators in my country (UK) cannot explain it in any terms that mean anything useful. The rest of this response is just my view from a lot of reading AND NOT ANY OFFICIAL BBPRESS OR OTHER VIEW!

In general terms, your as data controller and/or data processor need to explain what personal data you hold, why, and what processes it goes through, and whether it is passed to anyone else and for what purpose, and obtain their positive consent to your holding and processing that data.

So you might on signup want to say that you gather username, firstname, lastname and email in order that you can open a user account, let the user login, be able to identify the user and communicate with them. Usernames, first and last names will be published on the site and in forum profiles, topics and replies, but email addresses will only be visible to administrators of the site. None of this information is shared with other parties, or used for any other purposes.

However I have been sent some sites guesses at a GDPR statement that run to several pages.

But most of that is wordpress related (eg what info you captured as part of registration), rather than an issue of bbpress. You may want to think about letting user a see user b’s profile, so may want to alert users to what profile information is shown, as per my attempt above.

The real bbpress issue relates to the right to be forgotten – and I have frankly given up trying to understand that. So if user x publishes lots of posts, and then asks for all their ‘personal data’ to be deleted – is stuff that they published as topics and replies for all the other users to see counted as ‘personal’, and is stuff that others posted about them ‘personal’. Given that facebook lets you close an account, but doesn’t delete comments you have made, I suspect that this is information that you have put in the public domain, rather than personal data, but I am not a lawyer ! I’d also suspect that since the papers frequently mention celebrity gaffs where they have say tweeted and then deleted some stupid comment, that again that is not personal data.

The only thing that GDPR will do is keep lawyers and consultants busy.

I love the default bbpress Forum Statistics widget, however I don’t want everyone knowing how many members are registered to the site. Is there a way that I can remove this?

I tried to do it with developer console and CSS but couldn’t find an identifier.

Preferably, I would truly remove it rather than hide it.

I will be monitoring this thread. Thank you!

Hello, I have a problem importing replies from Kunena 3.0.8 to Bbpress 2.5.14.

” No replies to import”

Please help me?

[S Simon]

I’m transferring to bbPress from an old site that has a custom schema. I’ve worked through the various import example threads and have gotten it working quite well.

Two issues I’m running into. I’m confused as to how the join statements work, in particular if I need to do a second join.

Secondly my old schema doesn’t have topic content, i.e. I need to join to the first post. I’ve managed to do that based on the examples I’ve looked through. But how do I then not duplicate that content in my replies table? (Or do I do this on the design side and create a template that doesn’t display topic content?

Any help is much appreciated!

[rufus99]

Greetings!

So I use BBPress, Peepso and the “Peepso for BBPress” plugin on my site and have set everything up properly.. However, I’ve run into a weird issue: Every username and avatar you click in the forums lead to YOUR OWN (peepso) profile page, rather than theirs. So for example if my friend clicks on my forum username, it takes him to his own profile. This affects everyone but only happens in the BBPress forums.

I’ve enabled the “Change bbPress profile url with peepSo profile url throughout” setting in the Peepso plugin. I’ve also disabled and re-installed my plugins, to no avail.

The Peepso BBPress integration plugin is supposed to handle this, but for some reason it just isn’t working.

Can anyone help me out here? What could be causing this? Thanks.
