Thanks Robin W, working really well. And thanks for taking your time to help.

One last question which is kind of related. Is it possible to remove the href link from the date/time of the last post (clean bbpress install)?

Thanks.

OK, still trying to figure this one out…

From what I can tell, the problem we are encountering is that the URL is defined as:

https://site.com/forums/reply/12345

when it needs to be:

https://site.com/forums/topic/[topic_title]/#post-12345

In the first case, the redirect goes to the single reply post. In the second, the redirect goes to the post within the topic thread, which is what I believe we are each trying to achieve here.

Also, it seems to work correctly in the bbpress Recent Replies widget — meaning the widget utilizes the URL in the second case (above) and redirects correctly to the parent forum/topic. I’ve looked through the widgets.php file but can’t figure out where it’s pulling the reply_url from and why it’s different from the reply post permalink.

Does anyone know where the permalinks or URLs for the reply custom post type are defined in the bbpress plugin files? Perhaps that could be a place to start…

And, any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated!

The topic ID is a changeable box, so lets you change the id number. Lots of code would be needed to get it to work for titles, but this code will show the topic name in the box at the bottom

add_action( 'bbp_reply_metabox', 'rew_topic_title' );

function rew_topic_title ($post_id ) {
	$reply_topic_id = bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $post_id );
	?>
	<p>
			<strong class="label"><?php esc_html_e( 'Topic Title:', 'bbpress' ); ?></strong>
			<label class="screen-reader-text" for="bbp_author_id"><?php esc_html_e( 'Topic Title:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
			<?php bbp_topic_title ($reply_topic_id) ; ?>
		</p>
	<?php
}

Put this in your child theme function file

Log out and log in again

I’d also look strongly at updating your wordpress and bbpress versions to the latest, as they both have security updates

Bonjour,
j’ai supprimer l’ancien forum que j’utilisais. Puis tous les autres plugins liés à BBPress.
Puis réinitialisation, désinstallation de BBpress, réinstallation,
création de nouveaux forums, installation de bbP Toolkit.
Les utilisateurs “abonnés” dans wordpress sont bien par default “participant”.
la fonction de l’écran utilisateurs pour modifier le role des forums ne fonctionne pas.
Le méta données contienne t toujours les anciens forums.
Comment purger les tables mises à jour par BBpress et résoudre le problème de l’affectation des roles ?
Je vais re-tester l’utilisation des forums
Merci pour votre aide
Bertrand

Suggest you

1. work through this link first

Before Posting

2. if you still have an issue, tell us exactly what is not working ie I type x and y happens

Please help me! Forum bbpress stops working on the site, i.e. When creating a new topic or trying to respond to an existing one, the following message appears: “Error: Are you sure you want to do this?”. Website: avtovokzal-elets.ru
WP : 4.4.13 bbPress: 2.5.11

[Robin W]

they should not receive emails under bbpress.

Are you running another plugin supporting bbpress that is doing this?

eg bbp notify plugin

[Robin W]

bbpress just puts the date and author under freshness.

Are you using bbp style pack plugin or last post plugin or another plugin to put the title into the freshness column?

[fenomeno0chris]

First of all Happy New Year to the whole bbPress community!

Right now I can access my Forum start page on two different Urls.
– https://www.ps4source.de/archiv/
– https://www.ps4source.de/forum/

How can I disable the default one (archiv)?

[Robin W]

issue is with the plugin Paid Memberships Pro – bbPress Add On v 1.5.4 with Plugin Paid Memberships Pro 1.9.4.2 prevent Plugin Google Photos Version 1.0.1 embed from working.

from @mattdmcleod

I rolled it back to the previous version (1.5.3) on the staging site and it worked. Made that change on the production site and it also seems OK.
The PMPro plugin was the one updated in December, but the current BBPress (v1.5.4) connector hasn’t been updated for 5 months (and last tested with WP 4.8.4). I guess the PMPro update affected the BBPress connector in some way? Or maybe it doesn’t like WP 4.9x? I’ll post in their support forum to let them know.

Hi,
It appears when user use blog subscription to register for blog, user gets full registration to both blog and bbpress forums. I am not sure if it gives access to newsletter too.
Ideally, when user clicks either blog, newsletter or forum anywhere on site, I would like a new page with check boxes for user to confirm:
1) Register for weekly Blog
2) Register to receive Newsletter
3) Register to receive all forums for community or make selection below
Forum A
Forum B
Forum C
Forum D
Forum E

I am comfortable creating forums but is it possible to link True or False status of the check boxes to Jetpack registration widget and bbpress forums?
Many thanks,
Jacob

[jwyse]

HI,
I have five different forums and I want users to be able to only the forum that they are interested and not receive email from other forums. Is it achievable with bbpress? Much better if I could present login page where they could choose if they wish to sign up to individual forum or all forums.
Many thanks,
Jacob

Update: It is probably the case that my problem is not with the attachment button per se. I see that I only have it (where I do) because I have a plugin called “GD bbPress Attachments.” But that requires bbPress forum roles and I had not set those up on my new Multisite instances. My problem now is that I can’t figure out how to assign those roles to users. I tried “Change Forum Role to” in editing user roles but it doesn’t take effect. Now where do I find the solution to that problem!!!

[machank]

In setting up new forums on a new instance of my WordPress Multisite, when I create a new topic, the input area does not include a button to add an attachment. The only areas on the page are topic title, topic content, topic type, topic status, and submit. What am I missing that I should be doing?
Current versions of WordPress, bbPress, etc.

I had this problem once before but I can’t recall how it was fixed.

Hi, I seem to be having trouble with the Google Photos Embed plugin, but only within my BBPress forums which are locked down via Paid Membership Pro plugin. It is working fine on my public pages.

I have a long story with the troubleshooting steps in this Google Doc, only because it seems I can’t paste more than three links in this editor:

Troubleshooting (Google Doc)

I am at the end of my skills and knowledge trying to troubleshoot this, I would greatly appreciate some direction to re-instate the Google Photos Embed plugin functionality within BBPress.

Thanking you in advance,
Matt McLeod

I am trying the bbPress widgets “search” and “extended search”. Neither returns adequate results when entering a search term. Usually the results are blank (when I have seen the searched for text on my site).

Sometimes when re-entering the query on the blank search results page, I get a “500 Internal Server Error” page coming up after clicking “search”. I know this worked correctly in the past. What are some good methods to troubleshoot?

Hi,
can the import function also import the attachments from SMF 2.0.15 ?
Does it place it into the Media-Library or where ?
Do I need to have installed the GD bbPress Attachments
plugin, before I do the import from SMF ?
I just tried without it and it seems it did not import
any attachments…
Or are the attachments at least somehow linked into the WordPress Database ?

Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.

Hi @brent0r
I made the following adjustment in my child-theme´s loop-single-forum.php and styled with CSS.
This code will place all elements in the right order to have simple CSS adjustments make it all work as expected.

<?php

/**
 * Forums Loop - Single Forum
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * Theme OrganicSquare
 * Child-theme of TwentySixteen

?>

<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" <?php bbp_forum_class(); ?>>

<li class="bbp-forum-info">
	<div class="forumtitle">
		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_title' ); ?>

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php bbp_forum_title(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_title' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_sub_forums' ); ?>

		<div class="bbp-forum-content"><?php bbp_forum_content(); ?></div>

try

MyBB 1.8 to bbpress

[isuzu]

now it works perfect tnx a lot Robin

Now i need to find way to migrate users from mybb to bbpress

[cclemens]

Hi Robin.

I don’t believe there’s any setup involved. I’m not a developer and didn’t install it on our site. I’m just trying to figure out why it stopped working.

The functionality of the plugin should allow someone to hit the “preview” button, and below the text editor, a preview window of what the post will look like when it’s published appears. It used to work great, but now, the pop-up no longer appears.

I just came here hoping that someone else who used this plugin on their bbPress forum had a solution.
