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.

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…

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.

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?

Hi BBpress community,

A year ago I set up a bbpress forum for the first time for a guy. He copy pastes a lot of quotes from other sites and eventually happen to copy all of their HTML tags. He is an old man and I wasn’t able to explain him that he should regulary clear text formatting on his posts.

So now I’m thinking of forbidding HTML tags and cleaning the existing. Is that possible with any plugin? I am also ok with adding a bit of php to a child theme’s files.

Thanks for your help!

This links says that Dropbox forums is on bbPress. Is it true? How does one check if a certain forums is on bbPress?

[Josh Campbell]

Just tested this out on a newer theme and the css should look like this:

.bbpress div#primary.content-area {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 980px;
    width: 100%;
}

Also, you can now just add this to Appearance > Edit CSS > Additional CSS.

Hi,
after the 4.9 WP update, the de_DE-formal language was not working correctly (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/42574). In this time I switched to language setting “Deutsch”. I then started receiving complaints that some users couldn’t login to the forum. Yesterday I switched back to de_DE-formal, as they have fixed this issue and this in turn fixed the login issue. But I wanted to report this to you anyway.
Is there anything I should be doing in BBPress settings when i change the WP language settings? thx.

[Dzonny]

Hey all,

Is there a way to export all forums content, including topics, posts and members registered, and then import it on another bbpress installation?

I have one forum on example.com with registered members and around 5.000 posts, and I have WP blog on blog.com, where I just installed bbpress, but not sure how can I import my forum to blog.com?

Thanks!

[Gewitty]

I’m running WP 4.9.1 with the Sport theme and BBPress 2.5.14

Everything works OK, but I have one user who has persistent problems posting. Every time he attempts to post a message, he gets an error saying, ‘ERROR your topic cannot be created at this time”.

This does not happen with any other users and the problem persists even after I deleted his account and created a new one with a different ID and password.

This would seem to point to some external cause, originating on his PC, but I can’t figure out what. I did suspect that he was possibly drafting his posts in MS Word and then copy/pasting them into his posts, which could have included MS control codes, a problem I’ve encountered before. However, after getting him to enter text directly in a new post, the same error message appeared.

This one has me stumped. If anyone has seen anything like it before, or has any ideas about what the cause is, I would be very grateful to hear.

Good job! It seems you got inspiration 😈 lol

I suggest redirect login page after login because you see an empty page with bbpress link on top.

No, bbpress has not a sitemap.

Seo by Yoast works right with bbPress.

Hi @louisgeorges

In fact you can do it 😎

1.- Copy the follow code and paste it in functions.php file (If you dont know about functions please read about it before do this):

//Restrict Topic and Replies Content For No-Registered Users
function pj_hla_logged_in_topics($have_posts){
if (!is_user_logged_in()){
$have_posts = null;
}
return $have_posts;
}
add_filter('bbp_has_replies', 'pj_hla_logged_in_topics');

With the above code your visitors (no registered users) will see only the topic title. The code locks topic content and all replies.

2.- After pasted the code, try open a topic so you will see a bbpress notice about “you dont have access to… etc something like that”. You need to find the file where is that notice, to edit it with anything you want, for example a link to the sign up page (Sorry, I dont remember the file name).

To show topics titles in your post or other pages you have 4 options:

1.- Add each URL in your blog post with the same topic title and link it to the topic (hard work but good if you like linkbuilding)

2.- Default bbpress shortcode: [bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id] – Display a single topic. eg. [bbp-single-topic id=4096] ( https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/#topics )

3.- @robin-w plugin: http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-additional-shortcodes/

4.- Hire a developer to create a shortcode to show last topics or whatever about topics.

Hope this can help you!

[Robin W]

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

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
