that’s something that a plugin is adding – what email/bbpress additional plugins are you running?

I know you are fixed, but this information will help someone else who later has the same problem 🙂

[Robin W]

this css should work

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img {
	max-width: 100%;
	display: block;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
}

presume your theme has a custom css area you can put this in ?

[angeljs]

I do have GD bbPress, and I also use image links from my media files, too.

[Robin W]

ok, so do you have a plugin adding images (eg GD bbPress Attachments) or how do you do this?

Hi,

I’ve created a custom module for bbpress to combine all new topics and replies in one overview. From there the moderator can comment on all the incoming messages. This works only i’ve one problem. To add a new reply i use the next code:

reply_data = array('post_parent'=>$post_parent, 'post_content' => $post_content);
$reply_meta = array('forum_id'=>$post_forum_id, 'topic_id' => $post_topic_id);
bbp_insert_reply($reply_data,$reply_meta);

When this is a reply on an other reply everything works fine. But when it is a reply on a new topic then the Topic starter ip-adres is changed to the ip-address of the moderator. I can turn some things off in the core function includes/topics/functions.php

// Update poster IP if not editing
update_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_author_ip', bbp_current_author_ip(), false );

But that isn’t what I prefer of course.

Could someone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Niels

I have looked there but couldn’t find what I was after. I was looking at once bbPress plugin is installed what functionality will it give within the actual editor window to users of the forum. Some things are listed in quicktags ie strong tags that bold words. But what about all the other things not listed in quicktags, emoticons etc. Surely there has to be a complete cheat sheet of what code gives what result.

Thanks for your time.

Try adding this to your custom css:

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body div.topic {
background-color: #ffe;
border: 1px solid #dd6;
}

and this to your functions.php:

function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
  $show_lead[] = 'true';
  return $show_lead;
}

add_filter('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'custom_bbp_show_lead_topic' );

Hi @johnjamesjacoby and team. Like everyone else, I’ve been waiting for the 2.6 release for a few years now. I can see that the last remaining ticket is for the “bump” functions that have been in there for a while.

I’m just curious, are bump functions uniquely challenging to code? Either way, is there anything that I (or anyone) can do to help get this task finished? I have somewhat arbitrarily been waiting for the 2.6 release to make some changes to my site. I’m contemplating updating to the RC5 release. By the way, where can I find the latest RC download link? I dug around but couldn’t find a copy. The RC5 link here (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/advanced/) is still broken.

[adamorigin2]

Bump. Is there a list of available emoticons and other code options available to users of the bbPress forum?

SMF to BBPress – error utf8mb4

SMF to BBPress – error utf8mb4

I am getting the same error as this post identifies:

WordPress database error: [Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes]
CREATE TABLE wp_bbp_converter_translator ( meta_id mediumint(8) unsigned not null auto_increment, value_type varchar(25) null, value_id bigint(20) unsigned not null default '0', meta_key varchar(255) null, meta_value varchar(255) null, PRIMARY KEY (meta_id), KEY value_id (value_id), KEY meta_join (meta_key(191), meta_value(191)) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

But for Vanilla. It looks like an update to the importer is all that it took to fix this,

@netweb , @johnjamesjacoby

Thoughts?

Thanks for your time!!

WP Version 4.9.1
Vanilla Version 2.3.1
bbPress Version 2.5.14

[Robin W]

ok, no idea why this is happening – 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

I have found a way of implementing this, in fact this facility becomes readily accessible once you install and activate the plugin “bbpress topics for posts”.

here are the procedures to migrate your existing wordpress comments into bbpress forum interface, below each posts 🙂

install and activate plugins: bbpress, and bbpress topics for posts

go to settings > Discussions > bbPress Topics for Posts Defaults….now select the forum which you have created under “Create a new bbPress topic in”

and finally press SAVE at the bottom of the page.

wait it is not yet over.

go back again to bbPress Topics for Posts Defaults
and click on the new option which asks: “apply settings to existing posts”.

As soon as you do this all your existing wordpress comments will disappear, and you will see a bbpress forum box under each of the posts.

DON’T PANIC!!!!!!!!!!

Go to your wordpress dashboard

click on posts > all posts > tick on the box named “title” just below “Bulk Actions”

this will select all the posts on that page.

now select “Edit” and Apply

a new window will open (we all know about this)…now simply PRESS the “update” button at the right hand side corner of this window.

Repeat this for each and every page in case you have a small number of posts on each page….or if you want to execute this at once, make sure to first select all the posts on the same pageby going to the screen options and selecting the total number of posts you prefer to include on that page

BINGO!!!!

Go and check your posts you will find all your wordpress comments have been transferred into bbpress…

But will this have any SEO implications? I don’t know…

Hi,

I need to add the metatag “noindex” to some group of pages, for example:

Category Archives
Tag Archives
Author Archives
Date Archives
Search Pages
Attachment Pages

I tried different plugins that should do the trick (yoast and the seo framework) but they don’t.

I already contacted their support, again with no luck:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meta-robots-noindex-not-appearing/

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/noindex-on-bbpress-issues/

So how can i add the noindex metatag to the <head> of these groups of pages?

I am using BBP 2.5.14, WP 4.9.1 and Forum – A responsive theme for bbPress plugin by Dannci | ThemeForest.

I already tried to use the basic themes but the issue is still there.

Thank you,

the Process

The source is available via browser at: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters

Or SVN: https://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk

Or Git: git://bbpress.git.wordpress.org/

[Robin W]

The file is :

/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/Example.php

so if you go to

Download

you can download it to your PC and open the file

[Robin W]

ok, remove the whole line

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[bbpress_recent_replies_by_topic show =5]’) ?>

then add this to your functions

add_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop', 'call_bbpress_recent_replies_by_topic' ); 

function call_bbpress_recent_replies_by_topic () {
	echo do_shortcode("[bbpress_recent_replies_by_topic show=5]") ;
}

This just hooks to the line after the one you’d added

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_before_forums_loop’ ); ?>

so saving you having to amend that template.

This works on my site.

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses

posts
post_meta
and for its own settings
options

forums, topics and replies are all post types in wordpress.

go to

Import Forums

for more info including an example importer.

I documented my import from snitz access database when I very first started using bbpress, and you may want to read through that as well in this page

Custom Import

I have installed and activated bbpress and now I would like to make a link to it from the front page. How do I do that?

[jasonbxyz]

Hello,

I have a new bbpress site with buddypress integrated (bbpress was installed and set up first.) Admins can see all forums, Participants cannot see Hidden forums, unless it is associated with a buddypress group of which they are a member. The site is jingfangacademy.com
Fixes I have tried:

1. Deactivated all plugins one by one.
2. Tried other themes: 2013, 2015, 2016
3. Tools > Forums > ran all tools
4. Changed user role permissions with third-party plugins: User Role Editor, Members
5. WP and all plugins up to date.

I’ve added no CSS to the site. I’m a novice and I don’t own the hosting account, so I’m hoping to fix this without adding code. I’ve tried all the fixes I could find in related threads.

Thanks for any help!

[kasperdalkarl]

I tried to do that now and update the file, but still no change.

<?php

/**
* Forums Loop
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/

?>

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[bbpress_recent_replies_by_topic show =5]’) ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_before_forums_loop’ ); ?>

<ul id=”forums-list-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>” class=”bbp-forums nk-forum”>

<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum(); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘single-forum’ ); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<!– .forums-directory –>

<div class=”nk-gap-2″></div>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_after_forums_loop’ ); ?>

@kdelsimone
If you want the link changed from the topic to the reply, I suggest copying loop-search-reply.php from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress to your child themes bbpress directory @ /wp-content/themes/theme-child/bbpress
From there you can edit it and change line 25 from this:
<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink( bbp_get_reply_topic_id() ); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title( bbp_get_reply_topic_id() ); ?></a></h3>

to this:
<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_reply_url(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title( bbp_get_reply_topic_id() ); ?></a></h3>
