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?

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stop working come back, and I’ll look to see how easy it is to fix, but offhand I see no reason why it will become out of date unless wordpress does some very major changes.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

Hi,

I’d like to remove the header from all bbPress pages on my site, but can’t quite figure it out!

I’m using the theme Total, and advice from the theme creator was to put .ht-main-header{display:none;} in Appearance > Customise > Additional CSS. This worked, but removed the header from all pages across the website and forum. I’d like to keep the header on all main website pages and only remove it from bbPress pages.

The main forum is here: https://economy10.com/f/

I can remove the header from an individual page by adding .postid-994 .ht-main-header{display:none;} but this is only for a specific page. How can I do this for all forum pages?

I’m relatively new to using wordpress/bbpress (and don’t really understand CSS tbh!) so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Mark

Hey,
I’ve created a forum on my website using BBpress and Buddy press, but unfortunately i have 2 problems,

The first one is when I go to the forum, the profile picture of the last post creator is very large and making the page look unresponsive, and the second problem is that the register and login bar doesn’t appear at all, so no one can register although I’ve marked on the “anyone can register” in the settings.

Here’s the link of the forum so you can see the picture and also see that the registration bar doesn’t appear.

– The bbpress version is the latest since I’ve just installed it.

Thanks,

WP 4.9.5 / bbPress 2.5.14
Is there any decision for bbpress to have telegram chat import?

[checmark]

Thanks for the help. I’m slowing figuring it out but now have a new issue. I can’t seem to delete anything. I had a duplicate topic so trashed it but it’s still showing. Also had a forum I deleted but it’s also still showing. ??

Showing forums and sub forums is fine. Clicking on a forum takes you to the topics, I assumed; however, a bunch of topics put under a sub forum didn’t show up until I changed it to a different sub forum, then they did show up there. I really want to use bbPress; but I’m obviously struggling.

Appreciate any help.

[Robin W]

it is ‘simply’ ‘showing the forums and sub forums’ – if you want it to show topics as well, then you would use a page with a list of shortcodes eg [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]

This will show all the topics – you would need to do some coding to just show topic titles.

Codex

[checmark]

Looks like it’s hard to get help on this forum. If someone would just steer me to the right documentation for bbPress or the bbp style pack that would be much appreciated. I’m simply trying to get my forum to show the forums, sub forums and topics on the homepage of the forum.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

ok, mark as read is not a part of bbpress itself.

what other bbpress related plugins do you have ?

Hello,
I would like to create new roles in bbpress.
Since this is not easy, I have used this code

/**

 */
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called Super-Administrator */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_super-administrator'] = array(

Unfortunately, I have the problem that the rights are all set to deny, as soon as the user changes something in his profile.
Can I prevent that?

In addition I have installed the plugin “bbPress Advanced Capabilities”

Thank you Robin!

Unfortunately we do use buddypress along with bbpress. So I’d be thankful for a plugin solution that works for both.

[mestrawberry]

I am using the bbPress import tool to try and move my old Joomla Kunena forum to bbPress on our new WordPress site, but on the conversion box it just says there are no users, topics, forums, etc. Any ideas?

[dheerajsharma14]

The above code does not work. It is not part of overall_header.html BUT should be part of viewtopic.php. I was able to search all the code files and place the code in right place to make my migration successful.

However, all user replies were not mapped to users rather imported as anonymous 🙁 … On the other hand, Topics were successfully mapped to right users. Is there any help I can get in mapping those anonymous users back to right users in bbPress?

[brmbk]

I am using WP 4.9.5 and bbpress 2.5.14 for a closed user group. Access to the forum main page needs registration and sign in. That works well. On the forum main page the different forums are marked as privat. When I am on the page of a specific forum, in the title “Privat” appeards twice. This is not a critical issue, but not nice. What do I have to do to change that?
