Hello! On the forum i am trying to build it appears that Participants can only reply to a message and not edit their own messages, unless its a fresh reply and during the first minutes and in that case the edit link appears. But when the participant comes back on the forum after a longer period, only the “Reply” link appears, even on its own message.

On my previous question on your forum (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/404-error-with-edit-on-a-wpml-multilingual-forum/) I experienced the same thing, but is it the normal function or should I see the “Edit” link ?

Is there a way for a participant to edit its own messages regardless of time ?

I just installed wordpress and bbpress. I’ve been able to setup the forums, add users, and everything looks like it’s working fine except for two things. When I click on a user profile I get sent to a not found page. This same thing also happens when I try to edit a post. Can anyone provide guidance on what could be causing this problem? I’ve tried multiple different themes to see if it was an issue with the one I had chosen.

I installed this on a raspberry pi. It used a mariaDB on the backend and I believe php7

sidebars are a nightmare since theme developers went away from the wordpress tradition of having standard files for each page type.

Many now just have a page.php file, which frequently calls functions and stops any easy solution to the problem of getting a bbpress sidebar.

So let’s start with what theme are you using?

Hello,

I followed the instructions at the link below to create a bbPress specific sidebar and it appears in the admin widgets section but the sidebar does not appear on the user side whether or not any content is added to that bbPress sidebar.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance,

Bharat

I am trying to copy my bbPress forum with all content to my test site using WP export import.
The forum content is not visible on the new site!
I have tried the repair tools included i bbPress, with no success.

Looking at the admin/topic page i can see all the posts and under subject “Forum” it says “(no forum)”
When I edit a post by selecting a forum, that post shows up.
Now how do I make a mass edit of the field forum ???
In admin/answers it shows the number of answers but no answers are listed.

regards
John Eistrøm

I would like to return in the new topics the post exerpt + a link back to the original post like this [See the full post at: post-title]
Would appreciate your help.

ok, you’ll need to amend wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-register.php

so
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/form-user-register.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/form-user-register.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

Creating Content

Hi John, thanks for the hint. I switched the WPML system to use subdomains system with http://fr.mysite/forum/ for the french version, and it seems to work better with bbPress.

Hi there,

WP: 4.8.2
BBP: 2.5.14

After digging into lots of pages, I finally found an old topic here that describes the same problem I have. As it’s an ancient topic, I started a new one.

For topics with more than 1000 replies, when posting new replies, bbpress does not add the page number to the reply permalink. I did as the user Matrixd said here(of course for new versions of bbpress with different paths):

Hello again, finally after John’s helpful tip, I was able to fix the issue. I found where BBpress does the number formatting and disabled it. In wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php I changed this line:

function bbp_number_format( $number = 0, $decimals = false, $dec_point = '.', $thousands_sep = ',' ) {

to:

function bbp_number_format( $number = 0, $decimals = false, $dec_point = '.', $thousands_sep = '' ) {

This removes the comma from the thousands separator. Now all topics pages appear correctly. Thanks!

And the problem solved!
But this is a core hack, I want it as an additional function without touching core files.

Did a new install of bbPress and when using the built in Forum Wide Search, when a user clicks “Search” it just brings our WordPress site’s homepage.

I read on a forum that having spaces in the Single Forum Slug for Search under settings can cause this issue, but the slug used is just the word “search” so that’s not the issue.

Anyone else having this problem?

I’m fairly new to WordPress so I’m not sure how to troubleshoot the search. Can anyone help?

It looks like a conflict is causing the WPML language parameter to be added before bbPress adds its /edit/ endpoint.

I suppose it’s possible inside bbPress to try and handle that differently, but I’m reluctant to make it too fancy since it might break something else.

Without really looking, my guess is that WPML should filter the permalink at a later priority (as late as possible) so that all other filters have a chance to hook in normally first.

[13designnet]

Hi there,

I tried to create a WPML multilingual which is going great so far with the bbPress Multilingual plugin. It is in English & French, the English works well (default language) but on the French side of the forum a user can not edit its own post.

The English link to edit the post is: http://mysite/forum/reply/2478/edit/
the French: http://mysite/forum/reply/2479/?lang=fr/edit/

The french one forwards to a 404 error page, but what is weird is that replying to a post contains also the “?lang=fr” parameter and it works fine.

Do you have any idea how to make the “Edit | Close | Stick | Merge | Trash | Spam | Reply” toolbar to work with different languages ?

I have a BBPress login/register widget on my site. People can sign up to receive my blog.

I would like to change the text that appears on the sign-up page so that it is a bit more personal.
How can I do this?

[Robin W]

I’d do two checks

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

[richard.miller]

Thanks, @robin-w.

I’ve upgraded to WP 4.9.1.

Tried disabling all plugins outside of BBPress AND switching to the Twenty Seventeen theme, still no effect.

And just to be clear, here’s what I’m looking at:

[Robin W]

I appreciate your frustration that you have not had answers posted, but not sure who you expect to answer them?

People write open source software in their own time and offer it for free. Under the open software foundation the software is offered without any warranty or support. You use it if you like and not if you don’t. It is perhaps a bit much to then expect software authors to answer every question someone might have about that software, or indeed having offered that software to the world for free, that they should invest any time to this unless they wish to. To then complain that they won’t tell you how to modify their error free code to do something you want but they didn’t design seems even more insulting.

If someone gave you a car for free, would you then tell them that they suck because they don’t come and service it for you? or whinge about it because they won’t re-spray it for you because you wanted it in red not green?

I am not a bbpress author, I’m just a guy who uses this software, and in turn spends some of my time in trying to help others. I am too frustrated that people who ask questions on here so rarely then try and help others, and wish that more people would give up free time to help people like you.

But I am just me and we are here to try and help where we can, but please lay off the insults and accept that free software does not come with a right to free support, and if people don’t answer your questions, it is maybe because wee like to help people who appreciate free help.

To work out an answer for you will probably take 1/2 hour of my free time. I’ll take a look tomorrow maybe.

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve just loaded the code below (same as in the post above) to my test site and it enables the tinymce editor on my test site

//editor bbpress
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

//clean html when copy and paste into forum
function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
    $plugins[] = 'paste';
    return $plugins;

}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins’, ‘bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text’ );

So I suggest you start by doing some further testing

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

plugins

If themes don’t pinpoint the problem, 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.

Then come back

Hi
I have bbpress private groups plugin running. I have created a group of users. And allocated them to the group.

I am using recent replies widget . logged in users (which are not in the private group can see the replies (title link) from the private group forum even though they cant access the topic or reply.

The main reason I need your plugin is to create a private forum accesible only to private group. But now the topics from the private group forum are visible to all logged in users.

How can I configure this ?

Thanks

@robkk Hi,I am following your instruction but this code

.bbpress a {
  color: red;
}

turns red.Could you tell me which classes should I add to have a full width forum ?

[alanoc91]

Hi Folks,

Have a weird issue.

If I deactivate bbpress then my users can no longer log into their site. They go to the wp-login.php page, enter their details and it brings them to the homepage of my site and they are still not logged in.

It’s very frustrating. I’ve checked wp-admin, htaccess and so much more and nothing seems to work except re-enabling bbpress…

[sanam25]

I used All In One Migration tool to create a local version of a WordPress site I am working on.

I am using these versions:
WordPress 4.6.6
BuddyPress 2.7.0
bbPress 2.5.10

The forum comes up fine, but when I try to post in my local instance, it is not working. The post does not go to the database, and I don’t see any errors (even in debug mode) using the Enfold theme.

I tried with the Twenty Fourteen theme and I see an error when I submit a post that just says:
“ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that? ”

What does that mean? How can I debug this?

Thanks!

1. I am just a user of bbpress – ie I am one of the ‘We need to help each other I guess.’ I am only a moderator because I do a lot of support on here, and someone needs to clear out the spam.

2. I was not ‘waiting 4 days’ I do have a life outside of providing FREE support I give here – giving my time without any payback to help others, and I respond as I get time to those that I can contribute to.

3. writing sarcastic comments ‘Yeah forget about the fantastic support’ – shows you really don’t understand how open source software works – people write code for FREE which other then use for free. If you have paid for something, then you can start whinging about support, but if someone gives you a car, you don’t complain that they then don’t come round and service it for you, open source software is offered as is, additional help is totally voluntary.

[Anonymous User 12966443]

Yeah forget about the fantastic support. We need to help each other I guess.

//editor bbpress
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

//clean html when copy and paste into forum
function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
    $plugins[] = 'paste';
    return $plugins;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins', 'bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text' );

Works for me but it does not show up when using mobile?
