I have recently moved my site over to Discourse. The software is good, but I should have done more research as there have been many things that have come up since I went live that are not to my liking.

The forum has over 550,000 posts and around 2,500 members (this information is difficult to find without installing a plugin – which is another thing that’s not to my liking).

I understand that there are some impediments in the way of migrating from Discourse to bbPress – the fact that it uses Postgres for starters. I also understand that there would be no “out of the box” solution.

My request is simple: would one of the members of this community be able to migrate my current Discourse forum to a bbPress forum? I am happy to pay for this to be done.

Please let me know if you are interested and how I may contact you.

Running WordPress 4.9.5, bbPress 2.5.14, Buddypress 2.9.4

Forums are randomly becoming inaccessible to logged-in users, displaying only the “no topics found” message despite showing the appropriate number of topics in the forum listings. Most forums are rendered inaccessible when the error occurs, but not all. Forums that remain accessible show no obvious difference in configuration or status from the forums that display the “no topics found” message.

Problem persists regardless of theme or plugin configuration.

• I’ve tried both wpfix plugins, neither fixed the problem.
• I tried deactivating and reactivating all plugins on the actual site to no effect, then created a clone of the site and deactivated and deleted all plugins except bbPress, Buddypress, and the wpfix plugins. The problem persists.
• I’ve switched to the latest version of Twentyseventeen and the problem persists.
• I’ve tried using both Forum Tools and Buddypress tools to repair issues, to no effect.
• Also tried resetting permalinks, no effect

The only thing that repairs the issue is switching each forum to public, saving the forum, then returning the forum to private status and saving again. Bulk edit doesn’t work — only updating each forum individually.

After being fixed, the forums sometimes slip back into inaccessibility, even if no change has been made to the forum itself.

Any help in fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We are using bbPress Version 2.5.14 on our website at http://www.nationalbraille.org/forums using WordPress. Everything is latest version and all is up to date.

I’d like to add a list of site rules on this page just above the list of groups. I thought I’d find it in the list of Pages on our website, but it’s not there, and the Settings for bbPress don’t give me an option either.

Is this just not possible?

[emgb_520]

We have a few forums using bbPress on our site and I think there may be a bug.

When you click on the time stamp under “Latest” for a particular forum, it is supposed to take you to that post, but sometimes it doesn’t. And sometimes when admin is logged out, the post doesn’t even show up when trying to go to it (even on the non-premium, unrestricted forums).

Also, we have 2 of the 4 forums restricted because they are premium. When on the forum list page, clicking on the forum title of a premium forum goes to a restricted page. BUT when clicking on the timestamp of the latest post for that premium forum, it lets you see the thread. This isn’t supposed to happen because the forum is restricted.

Please help! Thanks in advance!

I’m using moderation tools for bbpress. Does anyone know how to allow users to “reply” before topics are made public? It looks like the topic has to be approved by an administrator before the reply box will appear. I’d like to allow them to reply before so they can add more content to the thread until our moderator has a chance to reply.

[blackriverinc]

After activating bbPress plugin:

– no “Welcome” page appears
– No “Forums” menu appears in admin bar
– No “Forums” appears in Settings sub-menu
– Any “Forum” activity from Dashboard, results in error: “Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.”
– Administrator” accounts are given new role: Keymaster, but Keymaster role appears to have no Forums capabilities; adding capabilities does not change behavior described above.

Hi!

I am trying to make any topics and replies submitted on the front end have a default category (I have extended the custom post type of bbPress to support categories). This works for everything submitted on the back end, but not everything submitted on the front end. I have played around with this a lot, and have not made any progress.

I am using WordPress 4.9.5, bbPress 2.5.14 and the site I am working on (locked so this link probably won’t do any good) is https://gateway.aishasalem.com

    // adding possibilities to have categories for custom post types
    public function gt_custom_post_type_categories() {
      register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'topic' );
      register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'reply' );
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'gt_custom_post_type_categories', 11 );

And this code to assign the categories as default when a post is saved / published. It works on the back end, but only partially on the front end.

    // setting default post catagory when saving
    public function gt_set_default_category( $post_id, $post, $update ) {

        // Slugs of the custom post types
        $slugs = array('topic', 'reply');
        // current post type
        $current_post_type = $post->post_type;

        // If this post isn't a custom posty type, don't update
        if ( !in_array($current_post_type, $slugs) ) {
          return;
        }

        // Sets the default category depending on the current post type
        switch ($current_post_type) {
          case 'topic':
            $default_category = 'livingroom-topics';
            break;
          case 'reply':
            $default_category = 'livingroom-replies';   // does not hook in on the fron end
            break;
          default:
            return;
        }

        // sets the default category
        $default_term = get_term_by('slug', $default_category, 'category');
        wp_set_object_terms(get_the_ID(), $default_term->term_id, 'category');
    }
    add_action( 'save_post', 'gt_set_default_category', 9, 3 );

I have tried hooking into ‘bbp_new_reply’ but this doesn’t seem to help (maybe I am doing it wrong). Do you have any advice of how to do this? Where to hook into? If it should be a filter and a function of a different form (if so, please give as much info as possible, I am new to php wordpress and especially filters)?

Thank you so much!!

Hi Friends

I had recently started a blog on WordPress. Now I want to start a discussion froum that is fully compatiable with the installed wordpress. Right now, the option available with me is SMF forum ( this is because I am already using it for other website). But in this case, forum and website will work seprately.

So, I have decided to drop the plan of SMF forum and look something similar to it and related to WordPress.

To simply, I am looking for the forum which will get easily intergrated with my blog

Of course, it should get fully integrated with the wordpress.

Will bbpress with suffice my purpose. Please guide me in installing it on my wordpress. Sorry for the bad english. English is not my first language.

Hello,
I have a bbPress site. I want to change some role permission.
1. Participant Role will be able to delete their post and topic.
2. Annonymous user can delete their post and reply.
For number 1. I tried to follow this post but i am very confused. I added this code to theme child function.php

add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_trash_link', 'topic_dont_delete');
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_trash_link', 'reply_dont_delete');

function topic_dont_delete( $args = '') {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'id'           => 0,
			'link_before'  => '',
			'link_after'   => '',
			'sep'          => ' | ',
			'trash_text'   => esc_html__( 'Trash',   'bbpress' ),
			'restore_text' => esc_html__( 'Restore', 'bbpress' ),
			'delete_text'  => esc_html__( 'Delete',  'bbpress' )
		), 'get_topic_trash_link' );

		$actions = array();
		$topic   = bbp_get_topic( bbp_get_topic_id( (int) $r['id'] ) );

		}
		}

				// Process the admin links
		$retval = $r['link_before'] . implode( $r['sep'], $actions ) . $r['link_after'];

	}
	
	function reply_dont_delete( $args = '' ) {

		}
		}

		// Process the admin links
		$retval = $r['link_before'] . implode( $r['sep'], $actions ) . $r['link_after'];

		return $retval ;
	}

But as I understood that, it was trashing post not deleting them. What I have missed? This code didnot worked for me. May be I have missed some steps.

And for 2, I don’t know if its possible or not. Searched a lot but haven’t found any solution yet. My understanding is annonymous is not a role, nore a user. So how we can achieve that?

Thank You

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

PHP Fatal error: Access level to vBulletin3::setup_globals() must be public (as in class BBP_Converter_Base) in /xxxxxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/vBulletin3.php on line 0, referer: http://xxxxxx/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter

[yusareba]

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?

[Robin W]

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?

[yusareba]

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.

[basico123]

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.

[dionadk]

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

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

[ashley41088]

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.
