Hello everyone. I am using BBpress 2.5.14 with Buddypress 2.9.2 in a WordPress 4.9 and I have the following question.

On my website I have both entries and discussions marked as “downloads” and I would like to know if I can combine both formats on the same page or entry, of wordpress.
That is to say, when accessing a page, the entries with the category “Downloads” are listed and on the same page the forum “Downloads” with the debates.

Listing entries is not a problem, the problem is whether I can include the forum “downloads” on the same page.

Thanks and regards.

I’m using WP 4.9 and bbpress 2.5.14. I never noticed this problem before, but when I click the pagination links on the category page (or index page of forums) I get a 404 error message. The links end in page/2, page/3, etc. If I manually change the links to page2, page3, they work! I have searched online for two days now, and most suggestions tell me to reset permalinks. I’ve tried all permalink options, changed to basic WP theme, disabled plugins… nothing changes the links showing page/2, page/3, etc. that bbpress is generating for pagination.

My site is not public (requires login) so I cannot show you the problem, but apparently a lot of people have experienced broken pagination links. I just do not know how to troubleshoot further. I am open to the idea of inserting a custom function to remove the extra slash (/) that bbpress is inserting in between “page” and the page number.

I appreciate any assistance! Thank you!

I get 400 error – bad request when trying to run the bb-admin/install script.
my domain : Trịnh Đình Linh

I am installing on http://bbpress.trinhdinhlinh.com

Host is ASO

Check database username :pass 10 times.

No trailing / at end of http://bbpress.trinhdinhlinh.com in config.php

I have tried “/” and /forum/ in config file

the error is in a plugin you have called ‘op-bbpress-fix-master’ which presumably is related to optimise press, so suggest you start there

Hi team. These are my three most pressing questions. Thanks.

Problem on My website is at homepage: https://www.teamakoka.com

1. I really want to change only the default bbpress topic colour in the topic index to black (which was set navy blue by the theme because of it’s default link colour)
2. How can I change background colour of the first post in a topic content as it is on your support forum.
3. How can I add the login fields to the topic content for users that are not logged in (as it is on your support forum)

Thank You 🙂

We are using the twenty seventeen theme and building pages using Optimizepress and building a forum using BBPress. We are also using a plugin for OptimizePress bbPress fix to Allow rendering of forums on OptimizePress blog, however we are not building a blog; but a webpage for a forum using wordpress.

Wordpress V4.9
BBPres v2.0-rc-3

Currently we are still building and do not have it public and therefore no way to get to the forum page except thru the direct link:

JMEMBERS FORUM PAGE

Help please.

Hi. I have a few issues with bbpress. The page I need help with is https://www.thosecrazyvegans.net/forum/

1. The top of the browser tab bar it says Forums Archive – Those Crazy Vegans
however, I would like it to say Forum – ThoseCrazyVegans.net
How do I fix this?

2. When someone post a new topic they have to fill out the form at the bottom of the forum, however they cannot select a forum from the drop down menu. How to fix?

3. The search bar does not have an search button. Why and how to fix?

4. Is it possible to edit this page in X Theme Cornerstone. I am not able to.

5. The HTML code that I added to the Forum page does not work. When the New Topic link at the top of the Forum page is clicked, I would like it to go to the New Topic form at the bottom of the page. However, the HTML code that I added does not seem to work. What is the full page code for this?

Forum page code

<a href="https://www.thosecrazyvegans.net/wp-login.php">Login</a>  <a href="https://www.thosecrazyvegans.net/register">Register</a>

<a href="https://www.thosecrazyvegans/forum#newtopic">Create New Topic</a>

bbpress version 2.5.13
wordpress version 4.8
theme Avada

Hi

I’ve looked around support forum here and also carefully through my localhost installation (where my bbpress forum is currently installed for test purposes) and I’m dashed if I can work out how to use .htaccess to password protect the entire forum.

I’m aware that there are other ways to authenticate users but some of my clients website visitors are young people and we are keen to ensure that access to the website forum is restricted most severely. By this I mean we wanted to place the forum in its own directory and then place .htaccess and .htpasswd in that directory to limit access to individuals who had personally been handed a note of what the username and password were.

Might I ask if I’ve missed something simple? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day
Gav

Founded a workaround disabling yoast seo breadcrumbs in my theme files by using the conditional tag is_bbpress(). I will use the bbpress breadcrumbs in the forum pages.

I go to login to my forum and it redirects me to the user dashboard of WooCommerce.

just tried it and it seemed fine – is woocommerce active?

Plus the BBPress toolbar no longer will appear at the top so people can’t see the links to their profile and forums.

not sure quite what you mean by the bbpress toolcar – do you mean the wordpress one?

Hi Everyone!
I use bbpress with polyling. I have 2 languages on the site – English and Russian. When I switch to a user profile, the link like this /forums/users/. But I need the links to be like this, for english – /en/forums/users/ or for russian – /ru/forums/users/. How can this be done? Thanks for the response.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

not tested but try adding this to your functions file

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_display_name', 'rew_display_first_name' 10, 2);

function rew_display_first_name ($author_name, $reply_id ) {
	$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );

		// User is not a guest
		if ( !bbp_is_reply_anonymous( $reply_id ) ) {

			// Get the author ID
			$author_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );

			// Try to get a display name
			$author_name = get_the_author_meta( 'first_name', $author_id );

			// Fall back to user login
			if ( empty( $author_name ) ) {
				$author_name = get_the_author_meta( 'user_login', $author_id );
			}

		// User does not have an account
		} else {
			$author_name = get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_anonymous_name', true );
		}

		// If nothing could be found anywhere, use Anonymous
		if ( empty( $author_name ) )
			$author_name = __( 'Anonymous', 'bbpress' );

		// Encode possible UTF8 display names
		if ( seems_utf8( $author_name ) === false )
			$author_name = utf8_encode( $author_name );

return apply_filters( 'rew_display_first_name', $author_name, $reply_id );

Hi everyone.

I’m trying to change the loop-single-reply template to display the users first name instead of username, I’ve created a child theme and have the necessary templates in the bbpress folder, I think it’s the following line I need to replace…

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘sep’ => ‘<br />’, ‘show_role’ => false ) ); ?>

From what I can tell, this displays the avatar and username, whereas I want it to show the avatar then firstname, but not found any way to do this.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

[andrey90]

is it possible to create two forums? because I have a forum on my site for free users and the second forum with other topics should be for the pay users, the two forums are separated by two different pages on the site, so i need two forums with one database. I would block the pay forum with a “paid membership” addon for free users.

but as i can see i can just create one forum with one shortcode in bbpress?

[richard.miller]

Just installed BBPress, and see that the editor is barebones html.

I’ve learned from this codex page that the visual editor is disabled by default – so I added the code snippet to my functions file, but no effect at all. Added TinyMCE Advance plugin, no effect at all.

What could be wrong?

(note: I see all sorts of references to “enable fancy WP editor” in older posts here, but can’t find that setting)

WP 4.8.3
BBpress: 2.5.14

[Robin W]

these sortcodes are theme(or other plugin) related, not bbpress.

what theme are you using?

[rbg1163]

Hi,

Our site tyndale.edu is having an issue since one of the latest updates. Our pages that require a login widget no longer work correctly and simply display shortcode to the users on the screen. We use DreamPress through Dreamhost and they have not found a solution. We’re running WP 4.8.3 and BBPress Version 2.5.14. DreamHost support made this comment,”The page is using shortcode but functions.php should be picking it up but is not”. If you use the wayback machine and choose Feb. of this year everything works perfectly! unfortunately I don’t have any backups that go that far.
You can see examples of the problem on these pages: https://www.tyndale.edu/students/open/
and https://www.tyndale.edu/students/library/galaxie-journal/

Any ideas?

After struggling with this on my site for a few days, I found https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-with-toolkit-tinymce-breaks-on-nested-reply/#post-188103

And after adding those two lines, it was working. I had to add them to the reply.min.js though.

Hi

some of the groups on our site are getting quite busy. We are getting regular complaints from group admin users, that they can’t organize their forums into subforums etc. Without that, forums kind of spin out of control with no organization.

We can create subforums for them, but it’s a bit time consuming.

If group admins are creating those forums along with their groups, surely there is a way that those users can create subforums too?

If anyone has any info or feedback on this it would be very appreciated, thanks 🙂

WP version: 4.8.2
BBPress version: 2.5.13
