I know of nothing that will do this at present.

bbpress has many ways in, but if you are not trying to hide content if the user is a bit savvy, then you could amend loop-single-reply.php to take out the content if not logged in

But to make it robust would be quite difficult

[Robin W]

not sure you are asking in the right place.

I suspect you are using an additional plugin to allow uploads of documents/images – possibly GD bbPress Attachments

bbpress does not allow this on its own

[mianajoss]

WordPress version: Version 4.9.1
BBPress version: Version 2.5.14

For some reason when my users post or when I post, the widgets wont show the new posts anymore. And they’re also not in order. It makes it difficult for my users to see new posts and topics, especially when they aren’t showing up. It worked for a few hours but it stopped working. I’ve tried everything it seems to get it to work again but I’ve had no luck.

I would love to get help with this because I’d really love to stay with bbpress. I don’t want to have to go to new forum software.

I hope there’s a way to fix this and I would love help with this! It helps my users see what’s going on in the site and in turn, it drives usage of the forum.

Hello @robin-w,

Again, I am sorry if I offended you. It was totally no my intention. I am sorry for that. I am actually a pro open-source. I have my open open-source projects and I collaborated in a lot of variety of them. I didnt post initially this thread, and I found it because I try to come often to look around in the forum to get knowledge and to see if I can help (with my current little knowledge that I have). The question that I post is not related with this topic. I posted here in bbpress, on other expert platforms, (even now I posted it in codementor to speed up the process) and I am always on the official irc chat of bbpress. But, so far no luck at all. That is why I started,few weeks ago, learning WP plugins and hooks. I was just expecting that bbpress has a more active (from my experience) support.

Once again, I am sorry to offend you or anyother one. No my intention.

[Robin W]

Thank you for apologising. Bbpress like all free open source software is written for free by people who like coding. People who like coding don’t always tend to be those who like doing support, so like much free software, they rely on community people to help in supporting. I hope that you will also feel that if you are helped in a support forum, you look to help someone else, as that is the only way that a ‘community’ can exist. If you simply just ask a question, get a response and then go away, it is hardly surprising that there is no-one helping.

Your question would require lots of time to understand and code, so I suspect that it will not get answered. You quickest may well be to duplicate using that code and then delete those not wanted.

[thinkinginxyz]

@robin-w, I am sorry if I offended you. It was not my intention and I am sorry for my words. No the most appropriated ones, so I would like to apologize and take those back. But I was and I am very surprised how a big tool like bbpress has so lack of reply.

[Robin W]

the community and the help that bbpress provides s**ks completely

well then you’d better sort it on your own – helpers here do this for free, and we’re not here to be insulted. Good luck

[thinkinginxyz]

Hello,

I would like to ask you if you find the way to do it. I am in the same situation as you, but i dont find a solution. I am so surprised how even Budypress and BBpress are so popular, the community and the help that bbpress provides s**ks completely. I think actually that BBpress and Budypress are far to be a good tools. 🙁

Thanks in advance for your time and considerations

Kind Regards,
Ting

[thinkinginxyz]

Hello,

Does anyone know how i can do to create automatically subforums when a group (budypress) is created? By default bbpress creates one forum for the group, but i would like to be able to create automatically also some given subforums, so in this way, all the groups have the same structure.

I tired to ask for help in so many places, even here too, but no luck at all. Nobody replies. I tired to check hooks but I am lost.

Please I need help, could anyone give me some hint or help?

I will be very grateful.

Kind Regards
Ting

Since my last bbpress post I starting getting two additional google search result:

PageSquares – PageSquares – PageSquares – Alden, NY
alden-ny.pagesquares.com/author/pagesquares/
Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing! Filed under: Uncategorized. Search Forums. Search for: Recent Topics …

On the No Labels Community Square Forum by PageSquares. 1 week ago. Community Ideas Forun. On the No Labels Community Ideas Forum …

google search result returns:
Whoops, no result found!
It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?

I don’t have a blog or is it my intent to ever have one on the website. The post ‘Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or…. is a draft and now password protected and continues to appear as a google earch result.
I addeded two items to my robots txt file in an attempt to remove the additional search results without success. .
Disallow: /category/uncategorized/
Disallow: /author/*
I then added two more items to my robots.txt file.
Noindes: /category/uncategorized/
Noindex: /author/*

Now using the google removal tool and google go fetch I can remove one of the above results but then the other appears in the search results. If I repeat the process I can remove the second search result but the first one is again back in the search result. I also don’t understand why google would index something that isn’t a page or post and make it a search result that returns Whoops, no result found!

I have now removed the post “Welcome to WordPress… from all my subdomains. Also I used the google removal tool and google go fetch but the google search results are for both the posts and for Forums and Topics. I don’t know how long it will take google to index my sub domains.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

@robinw

Then call that page from your menu and it should all work nicely.

except that now user cannot display any cuctom page options if available like template or add custom header/sidebar.
Please check this again https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-root-is-overriding-user-created-forum-index-page/ since it is a 6 year old bug that no one wants to look at and everyone needs fixed.

[Themezly]

Let me start by saying that I did extensive searching for past 2 hours and are surprised to see all questions about the same issue getting brushed off. Some even instruct to remove the home link from breadcrumb just to hide an actual bug.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/breadcrumb-and-forum-index-issues/

bbPress breadcrumb forum root link issue

there are many more but I am allowed only 3 links. Google breadcrumb [bbp-forum-index]

Please take the issue as it is which is a bug confirmed by many.

1. Breadcrumbs forum home page link and the page that user has created are not in sync
2. When user creates the page with shortcode as instructed in Step 2 https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ or even Step 1

the default Forum Root archive is overriding that page instead other way around. The process should be same as selecting page for posts in WP but in BB is just complicated and not effective.

Use default theme, follow instructions in step 2 , when you done , go to your custom created forum page and change template. No changes. Now change the root in forum settings, redo permalinks go back to custom page and you will see the change.

Note that I have no custom overrides so it is not theme related.

Hi,

Could someone help me with the syntax for the following join

SELECT
maoriorg_exportoldforums.pp_threads.thread_subject,
maoriorg_exportoldforums.pp_posts.post_message,
maoriorg_exportoldforums.pp_threads.thread_id
FROM
maoriorg_exportoldforums.pp_posts
INNER JOIN maoriorg_exportoldforums.pp_threads
ON maoriorg_exportoldforums.pp_posts.post_id = maoriorg_exportoldforums.pp_threads.thread_id
GROUP BY
maoriorg_exportoldforums.pp_threads.thread_id

This is what I have come up with so far, (compied from bbPress1.php to follow) but not sure how to put the GROUP BY clause

		// Topic content.
		// Note: We join the 'posts' table because 'topics' table does not include content.
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename'  => 'posts',
			'from_fieldname'  => 'post_text',
			'join_tablename'  => 'topics',
			'join_type'       => 'INNER',
			'join_expression' => 'USING (thread_id) WHERE posts.post_position IN (0,1)',
			'to_type'         => 'topic',
			'to_fieldname'    => 'post_content',
			'callback_method' => 'callback_html'
		);

Mind you, I could also have the wrong fields in the wrong place so any corrections and help most appreciated.

Thank you for your time 🙂

[Robin W]

looks like something is erroring

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]

hmm, not suer why your bbpress.css file is in wp-content/plugins/templates rather than wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates – have you altered this?

In essence you want to set

.bbp-reply-author width :100% ;
.bbp-reply-content margin : 0px;

This will force the content to the next line, and move it to the start of that line.

I’d also add

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
position: relative;
}

so you’d end up with (untested)

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

.bbp-reply-author  {
width :100% ;
}
.bbp-reply-content {
margin : 0px;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
	position: relative;
	}

}

the instructions are quite dated.

the recent version is here

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

bbpress no longer has theme’s – it uses your wordpress theme

[lisa044]

Hi,
I am following these instructions (https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/) and have got Cyberduck connected but in the wwwroot > wp-content > plugins > bbpress folder there is no ‘bbp-themes’ folder as the directions state.

No idea what to do next, whether I should be using a different folder as the instructions are out of date for my version or what??

Think Im on wordpress 4.8 and bbpress 2.5.14

Thanks
Lisa

Hello, I would like to have the profile fields of the Profile Builder plugin displayed in the bbpress profile. Is there a plugin here? Thanks for your help

[seamusberkeley]

Same ongoing issue after testing Robin’s suggestions.

1. Email matches domain
2. Check email plugin proved successfully; email sent and received
3. Asynchronous plugin did not resolve

The specific issue on greenpartytaos.org install is for replies to subscribed forums or topics. No email is being sent to any user, except when replying with site admin login. Even more odd, would not send mail to additional user even after setting their roles to keymaster and administrator.

Any ideas?

Sure would like the reply notification to work as it’s the main reason to install bbpress.

Appreciate any help!

[upatil]

Thank you Robin for the response.

1. My emails are setup to come from correct address like eg fred@mysite.com
2. Emails are going out from the wordpress for other activities except for “Subscribe” action.
3. Tried the “Asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions” plugin to fix the email issue on the plugin – it dint work for me.

Is the email on subscription a default behavior of bbPress. Ideas to fix it is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi all, I have been playing on and off with WordPress, BBPress and Buddypress, mostly to build my own company website.

I have almost completed my quest to make BBpress as functional and user friendly as any other major, paid for, forum software offers, and I think I have even improved to my own preference and proven that BBpress is capable to be better then any commercial package.

Please review my website, I have a demo account as you need to be logged in for all the plugins and hacks to be visible.

I have added quite a few plugins and function snippets, I do not know how to code php or javascript, just basic html and css for the rest I cut and paste until it works, although I do understand what I am looking at with php after 4 years of cut-and-paste…lol

I’m using bbPress with wishlist to create a members only forum on my blog and I’m wondering if there’s a way to show the forum and thread titles to people without them being a member but if they click on the thread to read it they’d have to signup.

I think it would be a great way to entice people to signup to my membership if they can see all the thread titles but can’t open them to read what people are saying inside the threads.

Thanks!
