I’ve been fighting with how to enable the Topics CPT for all users in the dashboard and not having a great time. I thought I could, perhaps, filter the CPT registration to change the CPT caps and show_ui settings, but no luck.

Even when I am able to get the Topics CPT to display for all users by commenting out the lines noted below as a test:

// Register Topic content type
register_post_type(
	bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
	apply_filters( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', array(
		'labels'              => bbp_get_topic_post_type_labels(),
		'rewrite'             => bbp_get_topic_post_type_rewrite(),
		'supports'            => bbp_get_topic_post_type_supports(),
		'description'         => __( 'bbPress Topics', 'bbpress' ),
		// 'capabilities'        => bbp_get_topic_caps(),
		// 'capability_type'     => array( 'topic', 'topics' ),
		'menu_position'       => 999999999999,
		'has_archive'         => ( 'forums' === bbp_show_on_root() ) ? bbp_get_topic_archive_slug() : false,
		'exclude_from_search' => true,
		'show_in_nav_menus'   => false,
		'public'              => true,
		// 'show_ui'             => current_user_can( 'bbp_topics_admin' ),
		'can_export'          => true,
		'hierarchical'        => false,
		'query_var'           => true,
		'menu_icon'           => ''
	)
) );

Things still don’t completely work. Users can technically create a post, but can’t save the Forum in which the post is created.

The short of it is: I want users with the Participant Forum Role to be able to see the Topics CPT in the dashboard so they can create their posts here, mainly because it would be helpful for them to be able to Preview a topic before posting it. Out of the box, the front-end bbPress form does not allow for post previews.

Has anyone achieved this?

Using:
WP 4.8.3
bbPress 2.5.14

If me, I will create child theme of bbpress and edit the file.

My ideas:
The first one is the best.
But i think the content in bbpress not eat space much.

Hi
I need your feedback on how to save space with bbpress in bp group forums. What methods do you use?

My ideas so far:

-Have subscribe role & author role keymasters and allow only authors to create forums in their groups. Seems easy to implement with a conditional in the bbpress creation template.

-Set a limit to topic creation, e.g. 100 topics. Is this technically possible?
Otherwise set 100 topics/page and hide the pagination links so only the first page is visible. This will force the group keymaster to always delete some topics so that newer ones can be visible.

-Delete old topics automatically or close automatically inactive topics and then delete them from the site admin dashboard. Any idea how to do that?

-Set a twitter-style limit to the topic & replies, e.g only 300 caracters. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hello,
Is there any way to change the font size of freshness time since?

How can the font size of post count under Posts in BBpress version 2.5.14 be changed?

Is there any way to change the font color of REPLY which appears in the header of reply to the post?

I have been struggling with this strange problem. We use bbpress with wordpress. Nobody (except for the site admin) can create a topic or reply in the forum containing the word “breast”. We have to intentionally misspell it as “breastt” or something like that. We have uninstalled Akismet. We do not have any spam filter or content filter plugins. Also checked Settings – Discussion, and Comment Moderation and Comment Blacklist are entirely empty. Any idea what is blocking this word? Thanks!

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.

[arnosr]

I found the plugin who generate the error,
thank you very much @robin-w !

It’s bbpress Private groups which overload the replies list, I look if I found any solution for resolve this.

[MrCarlLister]

I know this is an old thread but it was the one I came across when searching for a solution. I managed to use the link above and create a solution that will only search current and sub forums / topics. You can find it here.

Hi,

We’ver recently launched our site, http://www.theknightsrequiem.com. Our site usses both buddypress and bbpress. We are having an issue with cover photos being uploaded to users profiles.

When you try to upload the photo, you get a progress bar, like you would see any other time. However it never appears, you just receive the message
“For better results, make sure to upload an image that is larger than 0px wide, and 225px tall.”

Again no image is actually uploaded or displayed. However, we can upload user profile photos.

We are running WordPress 4.8.2
Our theme is Game Addict by Skywarrior
Potential plugins that could be affecting this, Buddypress itself, bbpress.

Thank you for your time and help.

Hi, I recently relaunch a site with a bbpress board. Now there is some weird behaviour I can’t really explain.

Out of 12 forums, two return a 404 error. Same goes for new forums: I can set up any new forums, but they return a 404 every time. I deactivated plugins, re-imported all forums, topics and replies, same result.

Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

Hi

I happened to check a mail account we are not using yet, when we moved servers. It turns out there are quite a few emails in that account. They are all forum activity alerts coming from BBPress on the site. These are the kind of mails being received:

UserX wrote:

Hello to all in the group!

Post Link: https://www.juicy.io/groups/venezuela/forum/topic/presentacion/#post-33662

-----------

You are receiving this email because you subscribed to a forum topic.

Login and visit the topic to unsubscribe from these emails.

It seems to be sending these alerts to a user. But there is no ‘to’ username on the emails. I have done several searches on our user database and there are no users with that email address.

I have done a full database search for that email address and come up with nothing.

I have looked absolutely everywhere I can think of within WP admin, for any instance of that address, and can find none. Unless it’s buried away in some obscure corner of a plugin, I am pretty sure I have looked everywhere relevant that I could think of.

I am downloading the entire site, to do a search on that string within the site files, as a last resort. I’m not optimistic.

Can anyone point me in the right direction about this?

Many thanks for your time.

Hey All,

I’m in the process of migrating an archaic and otherwise obsolete custom-built forum written in ASP to bbPress. The forum has been around for about 20 years and it was essentially a vBulletin clone. It has roughly 10 million posts and growing.

I’d exported CSVs of tables from the existing forum. We imported the users into the database and then associated them with the relevant posts. In the database now, wp_postmeta is 2.5 GB and wp_posts is 4.4 GB. Suffice to say everything is slower now, but the forum is 1200bps dialup modem slow.

I installed Query-Monitor to try and figure it out and this query is taking 53 seconds:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID
FROM wp_posts
INNER JOIN wp_postmeta
ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id )
WHERE 1=1
AND wp_posts.post_parent = 36005
AND ( wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘_bbp_last_active_time’ )
AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘topic’
AND ((wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’
OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘pending’
OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘closed’
OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘hidden’)
OR (wp_posts.post_status = ‘private’))
GROUP BY wp_posts.ID
ORDER BY wp_postmeta.meta_value DESC
LIMIT 0, 15

I spent time checking out this ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925 but wasn’t really left with an idea of what I should be doing to fix this. Not really sure where I should start in thinking about how to get this down to normal speed. I have this running on pretty stacked machine and DB instances on Google Cloud, but I’m open to any input around what the specs of the boxes need to be to handle this.

Also, we’re also migrating our e-commerce site to WooCommerce from Shopify, so speed is definitely a huge issue and I don’t want to have the whole site be slow just because of the forum.

Thanks for any help!

Hello, I am getting this exact same error as well. When I try to use Elementor I get a 500 error and must disable bbPress to use Elementor at all.

The bbPress version is 2.5.14, WordPress version 4.8.3. I’ve tried standard themes, that didn’t make a difference. We do have WooCommerce and User Role Editor installed, but I’ve tried deactivating all of them and bbPress is the only one giving me this same exact error.

It’s weird too because I just migrated this from a different server and I wasn’t getting the error there…

[Robin W]

your theme is doing extensive bbpress changes.

It has a file at

https://enviroforum.net/website/wp-content/themes/enviroforum/lib/css/bbpress.css?ver=456a73969e36e761f6215426bf37ff30

which is turning off and on all sorts of things.

Sorry, but I can only suggest you contact the theme author to see if he can help

Hi all,
We have set a few rules to moderate topics with too many links, etc. We also have new topic notifications set up and working when topics don’t go to moderation. However, if a topic goes to moderation, the new topic notification does not go out when the topic is approved. Is that normal? If so, is there any way to hook the new topic notifications into the approval process so that the notifications are sent out when the topic is approved?

Thanks for any help with this!

Hello,

I just want to import my phpBB forum (version 3.2.0) to BBpress. I tried with “tools/import” but it doesn’t work. The tools didn’t import a single forum or topic.

How can I do this?

Another question : how can I increase the size of the font in BBpress? I would have the same size as this forum, on wordpress.org. The original size is really too small.

Thanks a lot.

[Robin W]

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.

Otherwise/additionally talk to your hosting provider

Hello all, I have been searching for a solution and it appears that the bbpress install does not automatically add topic structure like this example:

import old Buddypress forum : users = ANONYMOUS

NOTE: “/forums/topic/import-old-buddypress-forum-users-anonymous/”

On my bbpress install topics structure looks like this:

“/topic/test/” – where “test” is the topic title

I wish to include the forums structure like the bbpress.org forums does.

I have searched and searched and let me to result in making a post. Does bbpress not include this automatically like they have on their forums?

Thank you kindly,
J.

Hi, I’m having a problem with my bbpress 2.5.14 forum. When connected as an administrator I have the links to edit, spam, strash,…
I can edit posts, but clicking trash or spam does nothing : the link seems OK (somthing like /forums/topic/subject/?view=all&action=bbp_toggle_reply_trash&sub_action=trash&reply_id=2601&_wpnonce=e3eb42b7d4) but just brings back to the same page and the answer stays there.
When I go to WP admin the answer is still published. I tried moving an answer to trash from the admin, it works and on the forum page it states that there is an hidden answer (as it should) but the link on this message (/?view=all) doesn’t show the hidden post.
Also in admin when I go to the trash and try to reactivate the answer I come to a page asking if I am sure I want to do this but it does noting. The only way I found is to use the batch action.
(I’m on a french version so some terms might be wrong, but I hope you undestand my problem).
Has anyone encountered that problem ?

[Caprilli]

I have the same thing.

I just don’t think this bbPress / BuddyPress stuff integrates well enough to be let loose on an active site with 5,000 daily visitors.

It’s a developer tool and starting point. A developer would reap the fees of getting it all to work well, while single users of WordPress just have the misery.

It is shocking how bad this forum aspect of WordPress is. Amazing that consumers put up with it, really.

[amitrwt]

I’m trying to search topics with particular tags and I’m using get_the_tags($id) where $id is topic id ofcourse. But it returns empty array even though the topic has tags associated to it.? What is the native bbpress function for this if there is any.?
