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?
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.
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
@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.
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
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 …

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.
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.
İ want new bbpress forum you need to write your forum name same down
http://www.website.com/saglik/kanatli-hastaliklari/
category to which it is linked
Old smf page url address
www.website.com/forum/saglik/kanatli-hastaliklari/
New wordpress bbpres url adress
www.website.com/topic/kanatli-hastaliklari/
This is important
Old smf page first forum later saglık later page name
New bbpress page direct go page name
How do i fix the problem ?
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 🙂
