I created two forums as category (named ‘dog’ and ‘cat’).
and I want to show pages which belongs to each category in completely different layout and design.
So, I hit on a following idea as a solution.
1)create a new bbpress theme (./plugins/bbpress/templates/new-template)
2)when users see pages which belongs to ‘dog forum’, activate default theme.
and when users see pages which belongs to ‘cat forum’, activate new theme.

In other words, switching bbpress theme and templates　depending on forums that users are currently seeing.
But I don’t know how to put it into practice.

help please.

sorry for my poor english!

Thanks for clarifying! Any other popular forums that you know of, that are still on bbPress?

[Robin W]

since bbpress just uses wordpress then anything that works in wordpress

eg code

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21928355/list-currently-logged-in-users-wordpress

or plugin

WP-UserOnline

There are probably lots more examples, I just googled ‘wordpress list logged in users plugin’

Hi @richterd,

Would you mind create this bug in trac (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket) ?

Thanks,
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

@swagataminnovations as there are no changes to bbPress 2.5 , there was no need to update anything to that plugin, but you are right that it seemed very old.

Updated now 🙂

[Robin W]

add this to your theme’s custom css section

#bbpress-forums div.reply {
width: auto !important;
}

[richterd]

Hi,
if I click on “reply” for a comment I would expect the form to appear below that comment. This currently does not work due to a bug in reply.js (bbpress/templates/default/js/reply.js) in line 19.
reply.parentNode.appendChild(respond);
If you change it to the following, everything works fine:
reply.parentNode.appendChild(respond, null);

Best Daniel

PS: Would be great to see development happen on github… 😉

RC5 rebuild and available on https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6-rc-5.zip and also from https://bbpress.org/download/

[Process of Illumination]

Hi,

I don’t think this is a general question since bbpress states to be compatible with Yoast and Tsf when it is not (at least when it comes to noindex pages) so, imho, it is a BBpress problem.

https://github.com/sybrew/the-seo-framework/issues/243

I asked the same question on wp support anyway and still didnt get any answers (it took almost one week to have one here so I guess I’ll be waiting for some days there as well – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/noidex-metatag-to-groups-of-pages/)

I added your code (thank you for writing it down) but I only see a white page afterwards.

I added it to functions.php in wpcontent/themes/forum/ is it correct?

Thank you,

the Process

@dzonny,

First of all, for the export/import, consider the v2.6 of bbPress as exporting and importing has been improved. It’s a release candidate but very stable: https://bbpress.org/download/

To export: Tools > Export and select forums, topics and replies
To import: Tools > Import and choose WordPress

[Pascal Casier]

@haddlyapis, no, bbPress should follow the WordPress settings.

So not really sure what would have caused this…

[Pascal Casier]

You refer to ‘community’, so if you are using BuddyPress, then you better ask in https://buddypress.org/support/

If you really refer to bbPress forums, then I have some good news: In the upcoming v2.6 you can define moderators per forum. The release candidate (already very stable) of that version is available on https://bbpress.org/download/ if you want to already test it.

[Stephen Edgar]

Apologies @tesicg, I presumed you were using IIS because Windows 2008 Server R2 😉

Ignore the IIS suggestion I made, you’re using XAMPP so they would be useless.

For translations check your WordPress updates page for any available translation updates, both bbPress 2.5.x (the current release) and upcoming 2.6.x releases are 100% translated into Russian: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ru/default/wp-plugins/bbpress

There might have been a fix for “port conflicts” in the upcoming bbPress 2.6, could you try that and see if it is fixed please? https://bbpress.org/download/

If 2.6 doesn’t fix it could you add details on whats different between your 2008 Server and Windows 7 install, strange that XAMPP works on one and not the other

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @alexwilmac,
Are you trying to update bbPress translation? Because that’s all centrally managed, so better do it there. If you need any help with that, just leave me a message here.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

@aminima just for your information, in the upcoming v2.6 of bbPress this has been fixed.

[DaniClemente]

Hi,

I need to change path URL to load bbPress resources because default domain is not “real” domain for users. For example:

To admin bbPress I have to go to http://www.my-admin-domain.com/wp-admin/ but, for the users, website is http://www.users-domain.com. The problem is that bbPress want to load resources from admin domain instead of users domain and first one is not accesible to load them.

How can I change this and configure it with users domain??

Thanks!

Bonjour @matevoun,
Il y en a qui comprennent oui 🙂

– You can open your forum to everybody, so they do not need to create a login (see the settings in your wp-admin: Réglages > Discussion
– Yes and no. The theme that you choose for WordPress is the team used for bbPress. However you can restyle the CSS yourself or use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
– Everything is saved in the standard WordPress style: so like a custom post type
– bbPress is a plugin, so just install it and you will see it pop up in your menu: Forums, Topics, replies.

Pascal.
PS: 2/3 questions? J’en vois 4… :-p

[Stephen Edgar]

As long as you have the IIS Rewrite Module it should work fine, it’s the equivalent of Apaches mod_rewrite module, it’s been a while since I’ve looked at IIS but that’s the only issue I’m aware of for for bbPress and IIS.

[tesicg]

I’ve installed bbPress on Windows Server 2008 r2, but some features don’t work.

Could we fix it in some way or you don’t support Windows Server 2008 r2?

[swagataminnovations]

yes it is possible with bbpress, not sure with other forums.

In general settings, under “Other comment settings” keep the box unchecked for “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”

[Robin W]

bbpress does not directly provide for image upload, so you’ll need to use a plugin such as

GD bbPress Attachments

Whatvere plugin you use, suggest you contact that plugins author for what works well with it

[swagataminnovations]

Hello,

I have checked this plugin and it still works nicely at the moment.
I have followed the suggestions provided by “makingcircuits” in one of the other threads, and could convert all my existing wordpress comments to bbpress forum discussion with a few clicks.
I think this is a unique feature which only bbpress is able to provide with the help of this plugin, therefore we really want this plugin to be maintained and updated from time to time so the users can feel comfortable about implementing for the said purpose.
I have tons of comments in wordpress which are not getting indexed by Google, therefore turning them into forum can instantly provide a huge SEO boost for these comments and could hugely improve the search engine presence of my site.
However I could go ahead with this only when I feel assured that the mentioned plugin would be maintained regularly by the author or if there could be an alternative to this plugin.

The plugin looks very useful and enables only bbpress with this very crucial feature of turning wordpress comments into bbpress forum, with just a few clicks.

I hope somebody will take an initiative in this regard

[Robin W]

ok, I worked out an easy way to do that

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

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.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/loop-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so replace line 61 which reads

<div class="bbp-reply-content">

with

<?php
	//now check if it is the topic author
		$author = bbp_get_reply_author_id(bbp_get_reply_id()) ;
		$current_user = get_current_user_id() ;
		if ($author == $current_user) {
			echo '<div class="bbp-reply-content bbp-author">' ;
		}
		else echo '<div class="bbp-reply-content">' ;
	?>

then just add the bbp-author css styling to your theme’s custom css

eg

.bbp-author {
background : green ;
}

you might require

.bbp-author {
background : green !important;
}

depending on where you put the css.

@shland01 – I’ve answered in the other link, so post that here for completeness

Specific Moderator per forum?

and I’ll only update the other one

[Robin W]

I presume Rkk has deleted.

my styles pack plugin has a shortcode

[Profile label=’This is the label’] will show

which will let you add that as a text box beneath the standard bbpress login.

bbp style pack

once installed and activated – go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes to find what the options are
