Hi Mieke (of: Hoi Mieke :)),

I know Jaws from a user point of view.
If you like I can have a look next Friday and see if the basics work with Jaws?
I will be visiting someone who uses Jaws and I have a website with some basic bbPress.

Let me know! (and we can talk Dutch if you like).

Hi,

I have an old Buddypress Legacy forum, I tried to import it into BBPress (with bbpress1 settings import). All topics and forums are well imported except users all converted as ANONYMOUS (except deleted users well converted with their old usernames ! Weird !)
I did this with last WP, last Buddypress and BBPress 2.6RC5.
I have deleted forums, and tried to reimport them, without success.

Did I miss something ?

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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

Hi

I have just installed (created) my first bbpress forum on a new site. I followed the guidelines and in the installation process used “method 2” which allows me to add some custom words to the forums page (I.E. to welcome visitors etc).

However, rather than people seeing the forum or a “nice” front page they see the below, which looks like an old style HTML bulleted list (it doesn’t copy properly into this box). When I click on the “Spark Forum” link (below) it then takes me to the proper forum page which looks great – my question is hw do I get this front page of the forum to look nice (I put this into the custom box as the instructions suggested: Welcome to the Spark Forum [bbp-forum-index])

*************** WHAT MY FORUM LOOKS LIKE AT THE MOMENT…. ******************

Hi, I put all my functions into snippet, and the snippet works fine for me.

However, in order to solve the video problem, which shows only code in the front page, (yet, it shows at the backend without problem), I tried to put the above code into the snippet, the result is that all contents in the bbpress forum went disappeared.

Could anyone advise what to do next?

The video code is like below.

[video width="640" height="640" mp4="URL../wp-content/uploads/2017/10/video.mp4"][/video]

Im at a loss. I saw a video on Youtube saying once installed, you could pick a theme for your BBPress forum. I cannot find this.

2) my host setup a subdomain for me and a forum directory, however when I downloaded the plugin, it does not appear in this directory.

[Robin W]

it is a function within the next release which is I understand stable

bbPress 2.6 Release Candidate 3

[ankitispace]

In my site I want to extra menu so I use “Fullwidth Menu Module” to add menu in pages by using divi builder of Divi Theme, But in bbPrress I don’t know how to add extra menu in all pages of this plugin.
So my problem is I want add a “Fullwidth Menu Module” to “bbpress” all bbPress pages at top. How can I add it in forum, topic, replies etc pages?

I don’t think there is a plugin or existing feature that does this.

I’m really surprised that this isn’t a common question, as it is a real huge issue that allows spammers a backdoor to register as a user to your site. Very bad. This code will redirect all login and password attempts to a static page on your site which can use the regular bbp login, register, and pass shortcodes.

You can use this custom code:

<?php
// intercept the Register and Lost your password? links from the standard WP login screen

define( 'REGISTRATION_URL', 'https://example.com/register');

	add_filter('register_url','custom_redirect_login_register');
	add_filter('lostpassword_url','custom_redirect_login_register');

	function custom_redirect_login_register($reg_url) {
		return home_url( REGISTRATION_URL );
	}

	/**
	 * Redirects visitors to <code>wp-login.php?action=register</code> to
	 * <code>site.com/registration-page-name</code>
	 */

	add_action( 'login_form_register', 'custom_catch_register' );
	function custom_catch_register()
	{
		wp_redirect( home_url( REGISTRATION_URL ) );
		exit();
	}

	/*
	 * intercept bbforum.me/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword and
	 *           bbforum.me/wp-login.php?action=retrievepassword
	 *
	 */

	add_action( 'login_form_lostpassword', 'custom_filter_option' );
	add_action( 'login_form_retrievepassword', 'custom_filter_option' );
	/**
	 * Simple wrapper around a call to add_filter to make sure we only
	 * filter an option on the login page.
	 */
	function custom_filter_option()
	{
		wp_redirect( home_url( REGISTRATION_URL ) );
		exit();
	}
?>

There are articles on how do add custom code to your bbPress installation.

Note that this is an option provided with my plugin “Weaver for bbPress” which is a fully turn-key solution to creating a bbPress site. I have not created a stand alone version of this option yet.

hi Guys

In most forums software, there is the possibility,
to assign one or more users the role as moderator for a particular forum.
Is this also possible with bbPress?

(User 1 Mod for Forum 1 / User 2 Mod for Forum 2)

[Siam ลอตเตอรี่]

if above that div id maybe you can directly add that html/php code and don’t forget when you update bbpress.

[jack_tyler]

Hi Guys,

I am wondering if is there any existing feature on the BBPress to have a login, register, forgot password, email confirmation only in front-end? I know that there are [bbp-login], [bbp-register], and [bbp-lost-pass] short-codes that you can place in the page so that it will display on the front-end but the issue is when user enters an incorrect password or account, it will redirect to admin login. What I wanted is to stay always in the front-end. Or do you have any suggestion what plugin I can use that and compatible?

Thanks,
jack

[jack_tyler]

Hi @siamlottery,

Thank you for your response. What I want to do is to add a custom HTML/PHP above the <div id="bbpress-forums"> as you can see on this screenshot https://www.screencast.com/t/C1AiIkH6

Hi there
I know this is a very old post but I am also looking for conditionals to show a particular template layout. I have posted at the following link.

If someone could help me it would be appreciated.

Determining Theme Layout for bbPress

Regards
Mike

[aussiemike]

Hello
I am using the latest version of WP and bbPress with iThemese Builder theme.
Through the theme functions I am able to show all parts of the forum on a particular theme layout, apart from the forum index page when the breadcrumb ‘forums’ link is clicked. This takes me back to the main template layout which does not have the forum wigdets as required on all forum pages.
I also have the same issue with the search results.

I have tried the following code but as I am not overly familiar with bbPress conditionals it does not solve the problem. I believe what I am look for is the correct information to go into this line:
if ( is_bbpress() && in_category( ‘page’ ) )

// create view for forums
function custom_filter_category_layouts( $layout_id ) {
    if ( is_bbpress() && in_category( 'page' ) )
            return '599b46ad5fa63';

    return $layout_id;
}
add_filter( 'builder_filter_current_layout', 'custom_filter_category_layouts' );

Any advice appreciated.

Mike

Hello
I am seeking help with the correct conditionals to show a custom view.
I am using
WP Version 4.8.2
bbPress Version 2.5.14
Ithemes Air Theme

I have been given the following code to insert into the functions.php file in my child theme but I am missing something here?

function custom_filter_category_layouts( $layout_id ) {
    if ( is_single() && in_category( 'news' ) )
            return 'INSERT LAYOUT NUMBER';
    
    return $layout_id;
}
add_filter( 'builder_filter_current_layout', 'custom_filter_category_layouts' );

I have tried most of what look to be the relevant conditionals at https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-conditional-tags/

I can get most forum views to use a theme layout I have created in Air Theme apart from the forum index page and the CHILD FORUMS (forums created with a parent)

I spoke with iThemes support and they told me it was best to ask here. If someone could help me out here it would be appreciated.

Best Regards
Mike

Hi there,

I need my forum Participants to be able to Delete/Trash their own posts. I see the solution suggested in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-participants-to-trash-own-topics-and-posts/ is already in my bbpress Version (2.5.14), but it still doesn’t allow the participants to delete their own posts. Is there any other workaround?

Thanks in advance!

[Tanya]

Thank you for responding @sanjayrath. Yes I did confirm that WLM is the culprit, but nothing I do fixes it. I’ve tried what you suggested, along with changing user roles, permissions, opening everything up… nothing I try will get that first post inside a topic to display for anyone other than admin/keymaster. Do you know if the Wishlist bbPress integration plugin perhaps fixes the problem?

http://wishlistmemberplugins.net/wishlist-member-bbpress-integration-its-finally-possible#comments

[sanjayrath]

I have had similar problems when I used ‘Wishlist Member’. Basically I had added custom post types into this and had configured it for all – forums, topics and replies. Then when it was changed to only control ‘Forums’ (custom post i.e. removed Topics and Replies), it worked fine. Thats an immediate solution.
Basically its a permission issue.

Also do one thing. Deactivate all other plugins except bbPress. Now activate them one at a time and you will know the culprit (using a browser, say Firefox). It takes a few seconds when you reload the forums page logged in as a subscriber/user from another browser (say Edge).

Hey there, I’ve installed bbPress on a site for one of my clients who is running a membership and I’ve run into an unusual glitch that I will try to clearly explain.

When logged in as an Admin/Keymaster:
1. I am able to see the Community Forums page that lists the different Forums that we’ve created.
2. When I click on a forum I am able to see the list of Topics that we’ve created within that forum.
3. When I click on a Topic I’m able to see the description for that Topic that we added when we created the topic.
4. When I click on a Topic I’m also able to see the replies posted on this topic.

When logged in as a Subscriber/Participant:
#3 from above doesn’t work – the other pieces work fine.
So when a subscriber clicks on a Topic they don’t see any of the detail for that topic. Also, when they submit a topic, it shows up in the list under the specific Forum, but no other members can see the details – only the title of the topic.

The Topics aren’t showing as “hidden” or anything like that. They are visible as a list – it’s the “description” piece that doesn’t show up when you go in to the topic (even the box for the description and whole posted it is missing once inside the topic).

I’ve tried playing with the public and private settings. The site is protected using WishList member. I’ve tried it with protection turned off and on. I’m pretty stumped right now.

As I said, it displays perfectly correct for the Admins/Keymasters – but is simply missing that one piece when logged in as a Subscriber/Participant.

I’m really hoping that someone else has run into this and knows a quick fix… too idealistic? lol fingers crossed.

My client is launching this site to his members in less than 8 hours from now (Wednesday, October 25, 2017, 3pm EST). (Don’t we love it when clients ask for last minute add-ons with no notice and expect everything to work perfectly haha.)

Thanks in advance for your help!

(I can provide screenshots later if that would help, can’t grab them from the computer I’m currently at.)

[wrapson]

I can’t even find the dashboard in BBPress !
I’d like to be able to notify selected e-mail addresses when a new topic or new post is made.
Any Idea how I go about it ?

I recently installed bbPress and the e-mail activations were working fine. I made no changes and now the activation e-mail is not being sent. I did go in manually and assign those users access manually but need to find out / fix the issue of activation e-mails not being sent to users to verify.

Good afternoon,

I hope I am asking this in the right category. I manage a website for a training provider. Their current forum does not work with jaws. this is a screen reader for blind people. So I am looking for a forum that works with the jaws screen reader and I would like to know if this is the case for bbpress.

sincerely,

Mieke Haveman

Hey guys, I am new to wordpress, and bbpress. I am starting a forum, and I want to add a profile page for the users. I also want to add the ability to make a signature at the end of their posts. I do not know how to work with the scripts so much, I get lost in which editor I should be using, or where to place the information. The scripts I have put in following other threads have had no effect.

[jack_tyler]

Hi Guys,

Anyone knows how to modify the content-archive-forum.php located in wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress using a custom plugin(not in the theme)? Is it possible?
