I installed the plugin BBpress and created a forum and two discussions. when I click on the forum preview from WP the url shows my home page. I confirmed the permalinks settings but the problem still exists. What can I do? thank you

Hello! As you can see here string is not translated but into bbpress-it_IT.po is already translated.
This is a theme issue?

The site use wordpress.org and the theme is OceanWP. So now anybody can prove to use the bbpress plugin and see the screen that I was posted.

Hi @robin-w,

I managed to get this to work with this code
I needed a custom role and I also needed to reorder it in my legend. This code made it work

//BBpress Custom Roles // 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_lead' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )
    {
 
        /* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
        case 'bbp_lead':
            return array(

Reply from Members plugin author:

bbPress roles are not editable and cannot be changed. They’re handled completely within bbPress. Members will only allow you to view uneditable roles and doesn’t itself change them.

[Robin W]

The 2nd function assumes that you only have the default roles.

Put this first and it should work ie

//BBpress Rename Roles //
     /* BBPress Renaming Roles */
    add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' , 1);
    function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
    return array(
    // Keymaster
    bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
    'name' => 'Administrator',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
    ),
    // Moderator
    bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
    'name' => 'Moderator',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
    ),
    // Participant
    bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
    'name' => 'Member',

[jelliott2014]

I am creating a forum for my club (about 60 members) containing a few forums and sub forums. I would like to have the content of all replies/topics that members create under eacb forum be displayed together. This would be greatly preferred from a user experience standpoint for a small forum.

I can get all topic headings to appear, but then can view only one topic at a time. I have seen sites with this layout, so I’m missing something obvious.

I am using bbPress 2.5.14 with WP 4.9.4. Also using bbPress style pack.

Thanks.

[kingofblingbling]

It’s under the title “Forum” in the bar/header; I think is to default for all but I can explain better if you dont understand.

[erich199]

Hi @robin-w,

For some odd reason it’s making two post entries in bbpress. It’s showing duplicate topics on a “Recent Topic” widget and the url’s are different. It’s strange. I can let you take a look at my website if you have time.

Thanks again for this, it really is great and helps me a lot.

[wpturk]

I use this to change default Profile URL (author link) to my custom Profile Page URL.

How can I also change mention links to my custom profile page url?

(bbpress 2.6 RC5)

[wpturk]

I use the latest bbpress 2.6 RC5. The new feature mention is not working properly.

Whenever a user has email address in the text body, the domain after “@” is considered as mention.

ex: in text body info @ test.com (I use with space because the same case here in forum)

changes to:

@test.com”>info @test.com

and @test is clickable as a mention.

[Adolfo Augusto]

It was necessary create file bbpress.php, copy the files for folder(in my theme) bbpress: content-search, loop-search and pagination-search.

how this post

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

for tamplate customized.

[Robin W]

it integrates to buddypress I believe

Available Integrations

and this may help

bbPress Integration

[Robin W]

It could be coded, but it would be an hours work and several calls. A plugin that relies on bbpress should check that when loaded, but whilst I know most of mine do, I couldn’t swear that they all do !!

[erich199]

Hello,
I’m trying to rename the current roles as well as ADD new roles. When I add the filter to change the current role name, it doesn’t add the new user role I’ve added. If I remove that code, then the new user role shows up.

This is the code I’m using.

    /* Add a role called tutor */

        'capabilities' => custom_capabilities( 'bbp_lead' )
        );
 
    return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );
 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_lead' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )
    {
 
        /* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
        case 'bbp_lead':
            return array(

[Robin W]

would love to find the time to write it!!

Like all open software bbpress relies on users to make it successful, and I’m not a bbpress author, just a user who got into it, and I wrote much of the ‘getting started’ guide as I installed my first bbpress site.

If you want to help, then as above the key start point is the templates. Mapping these into a user understandable chart would be a great start, so go to

bbpress/templates/default/bbress/content-archive-forum.php
This is the first template called, and all the functions and templates you want to use will cascade from here.

[Nate Zander]

Bump. Would love an actually complete codex to help guide theme development.
https://codex.bbpress.org/developer/ 🙁

[haddlyapis]

Hi there,
the issue here is that I have several bbpress add-on plugins. If I deactivate BBpress before deactivating all of the add-on plugins (e.g. google translate, AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions, bbpress Toolkit etc) the website crashes. If I deactivate all of them first, then no problem.
Is there is simple fix “if” statement that i can add to my functions.php file, whereby “if” Bbpress plugin is inactive, also make the following plugins inactive?
Apart from that, this plugin is great.
Thx

[Robin W]

bbpress doesn’t have a signature field. Are you using another plugin to do this ?

[TechHaus]

Thank you @robin-w! So the function I linked to activated the feature, and then I was able to copy the content-single-topic-lead.php into a bbpress folder in my theme, and edit it a bit like in your link. Feeling good about it.

I do have a question though, if anyone can help me figure this out (i’m new to php and am not familiar with the syntax). In the file https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php , on line 73, what this mean:

`<?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_topic_reply_count() : bbp_topic_post_count(); ?>’

That’s one of the few places I see the function called at all in the templates they edited. Still digging and learning. Thanks for any help or ideas.

[kais12]

[discusspf]

Hi, I am using bbPress 2.5 here: https://discusspf.com/community/

My problem is occurring as follows: I have the forum set up so it displays the recent topics as a shortcode on a page for the forum. This works fine for me (keymaster) and displays a create topic box at the bottom of the forum. However, for normal users it displays that they cannot create topics on the forum index, but when they navigate to a particular forum area they are able to create topics then. What is causing this issue and how might I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

[Robin W]

the bbpress theme is here
