ok it works on bbpress with a twentyten theme – that’s all I can say.

Can you define down more what ‘not working’ means

Without a site to see, at the moment you are telling us that your car won’t work, but that’s all the information you give:-)

[Robin W]

this isn’t a bbpress thing – wordpress does this for comments, and bbpress just hooks to that.

A quick google found this which shows you how to change the files.

https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/embed-theming/

sorry – writing a specific solution for you is beyond free help.

[Robin W]

create a directory on your child theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your child 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 copy this file to your PC and open it up.

then remove lines 37-40 which say

<dt><?php _e( 'Topic Tags', 'bbpress' ); ?></dt>
	<dd>
		<strong><?php echo esc_html( $stats['topic_tag_count'] ); ?></strong>
	</dd>

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

and yes being a child theme change it won’t get overwritten.

Can you try using the following version:

Via https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-for-phpbb3-to-bbpress-conversion-script/

[.:DDoS:.]

I don’t use topic tags might as well remove it. how?

[Robin W]

I’d suggest that something else is disrupting the setting

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

First of all, a big thank you to all contributors for this extremely nice forumsoftware. I’ve been on several over the years, and BBPress is a great one – out of the box!

I also have a question about the bubble notification. I am not much of a coder, but I can understand some.

So what I want is that when someone replies to a post in a topic you either started or have ticked the box “subscribe to” – I would like this to show up as a notification in buddypress, and not only by e-mail.

I don’t think my theme handles this, although it’s ready for buddypress, so I think I have to make something out of it myself.

Any suggestions on where I might look for an answer, or maybe there is already a plugin for it that you know of?

[sebaurel]

Hello,

I have a notification problem from bbpress to buddypress.
When a user responds to a topic, the author receives an empty notification!

How can I delete or fix it?

Wordpress 4.9.4
bbPress 2.5.14
BuddyPress 2.9.3

Other plugins used:
BuddyPress Member Reviews
GEO my WP
MediaPress

[Robin W]

sorry – in a word – No. 🙂 I’m not a bbpress author, but the template hierarchy is optional not mandatory viz

‘With the exception of the basic index.php template file, you can choose whether you want to implement a particular template file or not.’

Conditional tags will provide a perfectly good solution, and are a recommended alternative viz

‘You can also use Conditional Tags to control which templates are loaded on a specific page.’, so yes that will be the root to go.

[Mal]

When I create in /wp-content/themes/my-theme/bbpress/loop-topics.php then I can overwrite the default BBPress template this way.

But creating /wp-content/themes/my-theme/bbpress/loop-topics-[FORUM_ID_HERE].php doesn’t use this template for that category ID which seems to be against https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/ and https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/template-hierarchy-in-detail/

Is there a way to create a separate page template per forum ID without using conditional tags in loop-topics.php?

Slack conversations can be hard to follow, anyways here’s a chat recap:
• https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/02/16/gdpr-compliance-chat-recap-february-14th/

Thanks for this @casiepa 🙂

p.s. I’d also like to echo what Robin said, please keep the conversation about the GDPR and not make it personal, we all have differing opinions, and many of us are coming to this from different angles, for example I’m in Australia, we’ve got no legal privacy protections (this isn’t quite true, but it seems like it most of the time) but I’m more than happy to try to understand what the GDPR entails and how we can make bbPress GDPR compliant 🙂

[alriknijdam]

Lol, I already contacted my theme developer, they said I should contact BBpress support because they don’t alter it in any way. Could it be caused by the dutch translation being longer than the English version?

Anyway I’ll contact them again, if they don’t offer a solution I will go the css way.

Thanks

[Robin W]

combination of your theme and bbpress, sorry but nothing that bbpress can do directly about this, works fine on all default wordpress themes.

you can of course alter it with css for your theme.

[jyotixxx]

After a long time struggle I have modded the ehospital Forum look like other forums in the earth.

I have also added a Related post on Tag Base and it works as of now. To see how the reply and quote looks and you must login. Few days of work still left.

Hi there,

I’m expiriecing a minor template issue within BBpress.
When I try to move or split a post the form is not showing as supposed to, for example:

It doesn’t matter if I make the screen big or small.
<div class="inside-article"> has a width of 864px.

It’s not a big issue as this function is only available for moderators, but still.

Best regards,
Alrik

How can you say it will not be a big deal for bbPress, WP, sites when right now there is not even close near option to send export to the people when they ask what you have about them in database.
Should all owners of WP, bbPress, websites, use phpMyAdmin to search for hours and export what is needed.

So, keep your personal opinions to yourself, to reply with your own words.
“For most people in EU this will not be a wild thing to implement.”

[Rimfaxe]

Hi all,
10 cents from a person having had to live with personal data protection for more than a decade. GDPR is just a rewamp of already existin EU legislation which has been implemented in most of the EU member states for years as part of their national legislation. For most people in EU this will not be a wild thing to implement.
If you read the regulation, you will also find that it has different requirements for different sizes of organisations/companies.
In EU you will find many sites having a “gate of acceptance” which has to be passed before going further.
This is often supported by a online description of what is stored, how it is used, how long it is stored, what to do when data security is broken and who is the legal entity that handles the data. Further it is practice to include a link to the national authority for personal data protection.

I am pleased to read that bbPress will look into GDPR at “core level”, as one of the intentions of personal data protection is privacy by design.
The overall philosophy is that you own dat about yourself. You may deside if anyone can make a profit out of your personal data.

I much agree with the views of Robin W. Data to identify a person, personal data and content – may be 3 things OR they may be less than three things.If content is a portrait, then it is personal data/ if it is a photo of a croud it is likely not to be. Here we have grey areas.

@Stagger Lee: Amazon may have to delete your profile; but they may keep the transactions in their ledger due to other legislation. Having recalled the permission to make use of your data, Amazon (or any other) may not make further use of (or sell) your personal data. The transaction data however is Amazons property, but the content may not be used for marketing purposes or to approach you in the future.
Also – your personal opinion on EU legislation does not bring anything usefull to this thread.

@Pascal Casier: Please do not overdo it.
– Think privacy by design.
– Think that you are the owner of your personal data and that you may recall any permissions given at any time.
Any web/bb/blog owner should think about logical and physical safety ofthe data he/she stores and the handling he/she may does.
Remotely hosted web/bb/blog is another issue. this cannot be dealt with in “core” og any program.

I just came across this plugin: http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix/

I installed it and it works! I tried the #2 and it didn’t work, but this one does.

[Robin W]

ok, I think you should try 3 things

1. reset permalinks – I doubt it is this, but always an easy first thing

Dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets them

2. try and run repair

Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time

3. If those 2 fail, the it may well be an update problem, so I’m afraid you’ll need to try this

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

[Robin W]

I haven’t used this one for a while, but probably still works

bbPress Pencil Unread

or this one

bbPress – Mark as Read

[Robin W]

Pascal (@casiepa) has been in touch with the bbpress topics for posts author, and Pascal is taking it over, so expect an updated version soon.

[swagataminnovations]

@Robin W,

Hi, as previously discussed the plugin “bbpress topics for posts” (which has been possibly abandoned by the author) enables a user to migrate/import all existing WordPress posts into bbpress forum and also allow them to show under individual posts, so I was wondering is there a possibility that bbpress could simply introduce all those specific options and features which the above plugin inserts in the bbpress settings by default??

If this can be introduced in the bbpress settings by default would mean we wouldn’t have to depend on any external plugin, and be extremely handy for all those users who get large amounts on WordPress comments and are interested to convert them into forum replies.

[tuxkapono]

I have 3400 spam topics I need to delete because they’re overloading the server. I can only delete 20 at a time via the Dashboard.

1. If I have 3400 spam topics showing up in bbpress > Topics, why are there only 9 Topics showing up in the database [databasename]_bb_topics? How can I delete them in the database if they don’t show up there?
2. If I delete the forum that the spam topics are in, does that automatically delete all the spam topics?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi all,

Thanks for your participation. It was a very first gathering and of course it was a bit hectic.
Like always everybody wants to have his saying and a more detailed agenda needs to be set so things can get a bit more structured.

But please continue to spread the word that we are focusing on Core to get GDPR compliant and will try to create hooks or new functions where applicable so plugins like bbPress can follow.
