I have a bbpress forum with Twenty Twelve and also with Buddypress and both works right. But sometimes you should need make some css-tricks to get a better front-end design.

[Robin W]

with bbpress you subscribe to forums, so unless you bhave subscribed, then you won’t get notified.

You can and control and auto-subscribe users to forums using

bbP Toolkit

or instaed/in addition use

bbPress Notify (No Spam)

which some admins use to see what is being posted

I use Members plugin (by Justin Tadlock), and don’t have problems with Moderators viewing private topics, in fact I temporarily switched everyone to Moderator. This plugin doesn’t allow me to edit any of the bbpress roles, is this expected?

[Robin W]

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

[Robin W]

suspect it is related to your memebership plugin – see

Topics only visible to Administrators

[Robin W]

sorry – it needs to go in your theme’s functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[spinningplays]

I’ve added it to bbpress/includes/core/functions.php, but it doesnt work. It only redirects me as admin to the homepage when I click on the tabs.

Hello

My participants cannot view or reply to private topics. Administrators/keymasters seem to be able to.

I’ve installed bbPress version 2.5.14, and Members Version 2.0.2 plugins. When I look at the participant’s role it:

can read_private_forums
cannot read_private_topics
cannot read_private_replies

and I cannot edit this role: “The Participant role is not editable. This means that it is most likely added via another plugin for a special use or that you do not have permission to edit it.”

I tried deactivating plugins one by one to see if I could edit this role. I thought by default Participants could read and reply to private topics…

Thanks for any help

I add:

The theme is twenty twelve
WordPress version: 4.9.4
bbPress version: 2.5.14

[Robin W]

This should work

add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'rew_disable_text_editor' );

//editor bbpress
function rew_disable_text_editor( $args = array() ) {
	$args['tinymce'] = true;
	$args['quicktags'] = false;
	if( current_user_can('administrator')) $args['quicktags'] = true;
	return $args;
}

add this to your functions file

I’ve discovered it is a conflict with the Membership2 plugin (I wasn’t clearing the cache on previous plugin tests).

I would be interested to hear if anyone has been able to get bbPress working with the Membership2 plugin without this problem as they are supposed to be integrated but I can’t find any settings that might be causing this problem.

If I go to one of the forums from the main forum page and I click on the breadcrumbs to take me back a page, it doesn’t take me to the correct page.

For example, if the breadcrumbs show
Home › Forums › Forum 1
and I click on “Forums” it doesn’t take me back to the main forum page as it should.

Hi,

I allow anybody to reply to a topic, but I ask for their name and Email address, all replied are moderated, when I look at the reply under replies I can see the name but not the Email. I am sure somewhere I put “(will not be published)” after the Mail (required) label: but I cannot remember where I did that.
I have the latest wordpress, bbpress, bbp toolkit, bbpress moderation and bbp style pack installed.
Can someone help where to find the Email given please, I have spent two days looking.

Hello,
I want to duplicate my bbpress search results page. I want to keep the original page and have a second form that shows a personalized results page, how can I do this?

[dezrok]

Hi there, I’m hoping someone might be able to give me some advice on a fix for the following:

bbPress is working fine for Administrators, however, users with any other Site Role can’t read the Topics (even if they are a Forum Moderator or Keymaster).

For non-Administrators, the Topics index works fine and when you select a Topic you can read any Replies that have been made, as well as having the ability to post a reply (as long as your Forum Role is sufficient), all that is missing is the original Topic itself.

If a previous reply has quoted the Topic, then you can read the quoted topic within the reply.
The Topic exists, the original just isn’t visible to non-Administrators.

I’ve deactivated all plugins and the problem persists.
I’ve tried it with the theme Twenty Twelve and the problem persists.

Changing the Forum Role doesn’t affect the problem.
Only users with the Site Role “Administrator” can read Topics.
Obviously I can’t make everyone an Administrator and have run out of ideas on how to go about fixing this.

NB: The forums are part of a private membership site that is still under development. I have made one of the forums (which contains some test Topics and Replies) publicly accessible via the above link. Access to the site is controlled using Membership 2 and the Groups plugins, although these don’t appear to affect the problem.

[lantaarntje]

This fix indeed has the intention to convert my phpbb3.2 forum to bbpress 2.6 beta 2 😉 The conversion is still running so i don’t know for sure 😛 #goodjob

@crookie I’m having the same problem. The BBSpoiler button works if I’m editing a post or a page, but it doesn’t appear at all in tinyMCE in bbPress. I’ve tried using tinyMCE Advanced, and the standard WordPress tinyMCE, both with the same results.

I’m currently working on a bbPress tinyMCE plugin, to allow me to include specific buttons in the forum editor, and if I can figure out how to make that work with BBSpoiler I’ll post an update here.

I’ve tried to look through the code for BBSpoiler, and I’m guessing that it’s missing an action or a filter to hook into the bbPress tinyMCE (but I don’t honestly understand actions, filters or hooks, so I could be completely wrong.)

[Robin W]

bbpress needs a full wordpress installation and wordpress theme.

so to the extent that you can run a separate site with just wordpress, a theme and bbpress, then yes, but in the sense of having a main site with wordpress and a theme and just the forums on a subdonmain then no.

[mbeerli]

I found a post about 4 years old and read that this was not yet possible. I have my WP V4.9.4 installation on a domain for example http://www.abcxyz.com.
The question is now can BBpress be installed and configured to run on forum.abcxyz.com ?

thank you

bbpress ends notifications using a bulk email address of noreply@domain.com and bcc’s in the subscribers of that forum

so an email might be

to : noreply@domain.com
bcc : jon@abc.co, fred@defd.com, george@hhd.com

I suspect that you host provider/email account is forwarding this to you as admin.

Probably either talk to your host provider, use this plugin, or add the noreply@domain.com
address to your spam/blocked lust so that you don’t see them.

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

[herrflick]

Hi there,

With fun I am using BBpress in combination with WordPress. Also there is a huge activity on the forum.
However – every reply on the forum there is a reply coming in my mailbox from noreply@domain.com. But this email is being sent from noreply@domain.com (it’s the same).

I checked all files and WordPress settings. But this email address is nowhere to be used.

Any idea how to fix these emails?

[patbell101]

Is there a way I can autosubscribe all users to a specific forum? I currently have a classified “system” but it is way too cumbersome. All I need is the bbpress forums.. “for sale” and “wanted”
but I need everyone initially subscribed to them.

[chumtarou]

Would anyone know how to add placeholder text into the visual editor version of the text area for forums.

Once we enable the visual editor option mentioned here, this option from WPMU no longer works.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hello!

So far I can only see topics on how to disable RSS Feed but I can’t seem to find any answers on how to add a subscription button for forums/topics/replies.

Is there any way somebody help me on how I can add in a subscription button?

Thanks!

Using Salient Theme

[stevehammatt]

I want to add a taxonomy (which I’ve already created) to replies which are in all forums except one. I’m struggling to find the exact functions that I need to use for this though, e.g. to check the forum name (I don’t want to rely on the forum ID in case that is changed in a reinstall) and to set the taxonomy. I can’t find a list of all functions in the documentation.

I’m going to be creating a child theme and I’m pretty sure that it’s bbp_insert_reply() that I need to modify. I’ve found that ok. But it’s what functions to call to do the simple test and set that I want to do that I’m struggling with, even searching the function files of other parts of bbPress. So it seems like a simple case of testing the forum name and then setting the taxonomy if the test passes, but I am unsure of the two functions to use.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? Thanks in advance.
