Hi

I am using bbpress on hebrew website.
Using Poedit to translate
I have managed to translate most strings but I have the string “on” in english on which appears on line 1186 in widgets.php
i also tried editing the php code on this row and replacing “on” with a hebrew string and uploading to wp-content/child/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php but this didnt work
also in po file tried translating string and replacing “on” with “test” this didnt work either.

I cant seem to apply any css on this either

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

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No idea what to do next, whether I should be using a different folder as the instructions are out of date for my version or what??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

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

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.

I found this topic from 3 years ago, which helped me:

Pagination broken when using shortcode for topic index

It suggested changing the Forum setting “Forum root should show” to “Topics by Freshness.” I had it set to “Forum Index.” With this setting changed, my pagination works.

Not sure why this setting would break pagination in bbpress topics index shortcode, but at least it works now.

[Robin W]

I don’t know what “clean theme” means, however.

sorry lazy writing – just means a wordpress default theme with no changes – eg twentyseventeen. The ones released by wordpress are tested against bbpress.

I’ll contact you again via email.

[Robin W]

interesting – I think another theme or plugin may be overwriting.

suggest you check that your theme doesn’t have a ‘bbpress’ directory with templates in it, or that another plugin is not doing that.

[Jason]

I installed and activated twentyseventeen theme and the problem persists with my installation of WordPress. I don’t know what “clean theme” means, however.

I understand that it is very difficult (or next to impossible) to troubleshoot unless someone else can duplicate the problem. I am isolating this to bbpress, though, since pagination in WordPress posts work perfectly. And, bbpress was the only plugin active when using a WordPress.org-designed theme. Perhaps my database has been corrupted. Who knows.

I appreciate your efforts to help me troubleshoot.

Hi,

I am importing 3 forums into bbPress and in all of the databases the forum names are the same and some of the user names are the same.

I was just wondeirng, before I run the converter scripts, if I should change the names of the 2 old forums – maybe by putting a version 1 and version 2 or something similar after the names and do the same for the users?

I think I can make these old forums ones read only and the current forum still active?

Of couse if you have any better ideas or ways to do this, feel free to let me know – any advise is very much appreciated 🙂

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I am moving an old site to WP and bbPress and need to convert my old forums. I understand I need to use the example.php in the converter folder and write a converter for each old forum – there are 3 I am gong to convert.

And wouldn’t you know it, the 3 different forums use 3 different date formats!

Here they are
1415922411
2004-09-13 19:25:59
20080407181855

From looking around in all of the converter files I see that forum dates are done 2 ways

In example converter – I am guessing that I would use this format to convert the date like 20080407181855 ?

// Forum dates.
$this->field_map[] = array(
'to_type' => 'forum',
'to_fieldname' => 'post_date',
'default' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
);


In vanilla converter – I am guessing I would use this format to convert the date like 2004-09-13 19:25:59 ?

// Forum dates.
$this->field_map[] = array(
'from_tablename' => 'Category',
'from_fieldname' => 'DateInserted',
'to_type' => 'forum',
'to_fieldname' => 'post_date',
);


Anyone know how I can convert a date such as 1415922411 to the correct date format – which I am guessing is Y-m-d H:i:s?

Thank you for your time.

this thread suggests using version 2.6

Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000

try 2.6Rc3

I wrote a small plugin a while ago that takes dates out of bbpress, including the columns

Give this a try
