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

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 🙂

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!

How do I install the theme to look like the bbpress theme. What I have looks like this:

JMEMBERS FORUM

[Robin W]

Start with

1. You should be aware that many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings/general is fred@gmail.comthen it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.
2. Just bbpress?
Then you need to see if this is wordpress wide or just bbpress.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/
3. Some people have fixed it with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

[nickmesquiti]

I am trying to create the Forum like it is here on bbpress; however I am not having success. I have copied out the themes and css and pasted them inot the “wp-content/themes/memberhsip/bbrpress/themes” and “wp-content/themes/memberhsip/css” directories. Now how do I get it to look like bbpress’s forfum with color and the like …

[Travis Poole]

Hello,

So I have a bbpress forum. A customer made a post and I responded to it. He then responded to my reply and yet an email came in to our ticket system with his reply rather than going to the forum.

My guess is he had the notify me of replies checked and he replied to that email and instead of going to the forum and making the post, it came in to our ticket system.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks

[upatil]

I am having issues with my bbPress forum to perform the following things :
1. Send emails to the Forum Admin when a new user “Subscribes” to the forum
2. Send email to the user who just “Subscribed” to a forum
3. Send email to the all the admins/moderators when a new forum is created.

Versions:
WordPress 4.8.3, bbPress 2.5.14
Link : http://www.gettheslice.com

Please advice if is this is an out of the box functionality of bbPress or if I am missing something in settings?

If this is not a default behavior, can you let me know what other plugin I can use to get this working on my forum. I appreciate all the help and suggestion.

Thanks,

Hi,

After a day of using the example.php to create a custom import form I finally tried to run it and all I get is Staring Conversion with the little spinner next to it and nothing else happens.

I have stopped it and then chosen another converter just to see what it does and it does run past there telling me No fourms to convert etc …

For curiousity I ran a different conversion and used the wrong username and it did tell me it couldn’t connect. I also did that again using the wrong database and it said it couldn’t connect tot he database. So I am guessing that this starting conversion, spinner, nothing (even after leaving it for 1/2 hour and I do not have a large forum to convert) must be an error after there is a database connection and before the main code runs.

Here is basically what I have done

Renamed example.php to Originalforum.php

Changed Line 4 to * Originalforum converter base impoprter template for bbPress

Changed line 9 to class Originalforum extends BBP_Converter_Base {

Went through line by line and changed as needed, making sure that the case in the tables was the same in the file.

Used example.php, mingle.php and vanilla.php to check each line. For example I used the vanilla.php dates code as the one I am doing has the same format as needed and the mingle.php to add in the bottom the public function callback_topic_status code.

If anyone can point me in the right direction to get past the starting conversion – spinner – nothing else that would be most appreciated. I know once I am past that if there are sql / code errors I will be able to fix those – I just need to be able to get to that stage!

Thank you for your time.

[Robin W]

ok, bbpress expects the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss

When I did a custom conversion, I found it much easier to convert the source to the correct format and then import, rather than try and do it on the fly.

so if you create a new field in your original tables, then you can put the required format in there.
