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!

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.

@robin-w I found this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/cms2cms-smf-to-bbpress-convertor/. Does anyone know if it works? I know it’s a partial converter then you have to pay.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

[Audiomonk]

I know the subject keeps coming up, and I’ve been through the posts and I’ve added the relevant code to my functions.php all good so far.

My visual editor is inserting tags that get filtered out by BBpress. Is there any plugin that I can say a particular user can have any html? I’m wanting to add more available tags like <h1 style=”text align:center”> etc. All my efforts have failed miserably. I like BBpress, but other forum software doesn’t have these restrictions on basic text formatting.

Maybe if you can explain what the code does rather than link to an example, I haven’t a clue about arrays or what => etc means and the syntax. I just want users to be able to add heading tags and a few other basic text formatting options to tie in with their visual editor.

Thanks in advance

[ForumFusion]

I am looking for the same solution…SMF -> bbPress. Is it possible? I see @Robin-W comment, but is there actually a successful converter for it?

Thanks!

So I installed bbpress and have memberpress.

I set up the forum with a test forum.

I went to my website, saw the forum, with the Test forum. All looked well. I click on the Test Forum and then the formatting fell apart. It was as if it was a post.

“Home › Forums › Test Subscribe This forum is empty. Oh bother! No topics were found here! Create New Topic in “Test” Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content. Topic Title (Maximum Length: 80): Topic Tags: Topic Type: Normal Sticky Super Sticky Topic Status: Open Closed Spam Trash Pending Notify me of …” That is what it looked like… so.. not sure how to fix that or what to do.

Hi all,

I am using a the recent topics bbpress widget that shows that last 5 topics in the forum to every logged-in user.

Is it possible to prevent closed topics from showing up in the list? Or is that a feature request?
cheer

[Andrei Surdu]

OK. Here is how to replicate the issue.

1. Make a forum.
2. Add 2 topic to this forum using the front-end form.

Now the structure of this forum is something like this:

-> Example forum
-> A topic example 1
-> A topic example 2

And the count is 2 topics.
I get this count of 2 topics by using the function: bbp_get_forum_topic_count(0, false).
This function is placed in bbpress/loop-single-forum.php template.

3. Go to wp-admin to the edit screen of the topic “A topic example 1”.
4. Under the “Topic Attributes” meta box, change the forum parent, by selecting “– No parent –“.
5. Update.
6. Check the forum on front-end. The count should be 1 topic but it still displays 2 topics.

[Robin W]

sorry I don’t understand the question.

you start by quoting a bbpress function, and then changing a forum and then a ?specific? topic disappears.

As a start, can you give the precise code you are using, and where you are using it, and how.

[Andrei Surdu]

I use this function to display the total topics count for a single forum: bbp_get_forum_topic_count

If I change the forum parent to –No Parent —, the topic dissapears from forum section but the count does not change. See the image below:

—————–
bbPress version: 2.5.14
WordPress version: 4.9.5

[emgb_520]

I forgot to include that I have tried editing the code without any luck.

The file I have tried editing is /wp-content/plugins/bbpress-login-register-links-on-forum-topic-pages/bbpress-login-register-links-on-forum-topic-page.php

Lines 26-72

The LOGOUT link redirects to the page the user was previously on, but the LOGIN link does not.

Please help!

Any release sate for BBpress 2.6?

[Norman Cates]

Hi ya,
bbPress newbie here.

I’ve found a similar problem where if I click reply on a topic post, then it drops me down the page. In the Chrome console I see this error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: addReply is not defined
at HTMLAnchorElement.onclick (VM3866:1501)
———-
And then clicking on the “(VM3866:1501)” link gets this:

return addReply.moveForm(‘post-369′,’369′,’new-reply-368′,’368’);

————–

I tried adding the above fix to the reply.js file, but that didn’t work.

But based on that error, I’m assuming that something else is removing that bit of the JavaScript…

Or there’s a scope problem?

[dublejaay]

I am using the BBPress Post Topics plugin so when I create a new post it will make a new forum topic where I choose. That part works perfectly but I am wondering if I can change how the topic content is displayed. Currently it will say [See the full post at: ‘link to post on my site’]. Can it list the post and thumbnail like it would if I added the post link manually in create a new topic?

[Robin W]

I hadn’t seen that plugin before – looks useful.

Pippin is a very experienced plugin writer (better than me!), and I just loaded and tested that plugin and it works error free and fine.

A quick look at the code shows no obvious issues with current versions of wordpress or bbpress.

It is always a problem for plugin writers to maintain their plugins – I have over 6, and whenever wordpress updates, I have 6 to test and update.

I don’t really want to take on anymore, else I’d offer to take that one over.

I’d suggest you use it – worst case at some future stage you may have to stop using it, but as I know of no other plugin that does this, you’ll be no worse off than you are now.

If it does stop working come back, and I’ll look to see how easy it is to fix, but offhand I see no reason why it will become out of date unless wordpress does some very major changes.

[Robin W]

Not sure if this is bbpress or another plugin – can you list the plugins you have plaese

[arathra]

I use bbpress as a support forum. I see there’s a ‘canned replies’ plugin around but it hasn’t been updated in several years and appears defunct.

Is there anything newer about? Or has anyone come up with an alternative solution to facilitate inserting standard replies to common questions on the forum?

Thanks!

Hello great lads/gals at bbPress. My site is https://www.thosecrazyvegans.net and the forum page through bbPress forum are not working. First, why is the BuddyPress group forum attached to the main forum? I would like to remove those, the first category on the forum top, the one that says Michael Lanfield.

The main issue is when you click on any category on the forum like News and Updates for example, https://www.thosecrazyvegans.net/forums/news/ nothing is displayed on that page. All the categories are like that. When I switch to the 2017 theme, I get “This forum is empty” line. Why and how to fix it?

[Robin W]

sorry, not sure what I can do to help from that description.

All I can suggest is that you check whether you have any caching software – that frequently causes issues with things showing.

If that is not the issue, then the best advice I can give is

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.

[Robin W]

you do need to accept that bbpress is free software with support given by other users of the software who give up their free time to help others. We cannot answer every question.

do you have a link to the appropriate pages please

Hello forum people, this time I need some information about where I can get an Android and IOS app for my forum.

I see that in the forum there is a topic about a user who has his app but there is no information on how to do it. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/im-building-a-bbpress-ios-and-android-app/

There are also services like apppresser that are paid monthly but I would leave it as the last option.

There is an app like https://appboss.com/ but I have tried to communicate with them more than once but I have not succeeded.

I have seen that Ionic is having integration with wordpress in the last time and that there are many items but 100% are for wordpress post that works with api reset so they are not compatible with Bbpress.

Thanks for your time.
Greetings.
