Hi LeGuerg,

Thanks for the useful post. I have added those lines of code in two php files that you mentioned, but still particants can’t delete their own posts.

/home/XXX/public_html/XXX/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/capabilities.php
/home/XXX/public_html/XXX/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/capabilities.php

Any idea why? Anyone’s help will help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello

I am looking for a bbPress plugin where a thread author can mark his thread as completed

[Peetee]

Since this weekend I’ve been testing BBpress, trying to migrate an Invision 3.4.x forum through the BBpress importer. This is a forum with 38.000 members and 320.000 forum posts.

Using the 2.5.14 BB importer version this did not go well: it would hang several times and stop at around 250.000 posts.

Importing with version 2.6 RC3 went considerably better. Last night the complete forum was imported in 1 run! So that is really promising!!

But as we do not know whether the 2.6 RC3 version is stable enough to keep using, and we do not know when the 2.6 final release would be released, one might consider to use the 2.6 version for import and then downgrade to the last stable version 2.5.14 for the time being.

But the question is ofcourse: is this wise? And is this going to bring trouble? Who could advise me in this matter?

Greetz,
Peetee.

I’m having this problem after trying this solution, searching the codex and this forum. Here are all the various solutions I’ve tried:

.reply {
    color: #000000 !important;
}

#commentform #submit, .reply, #reply-title small {
    background-color: #000000;
    color: #ffffff;
}

.forum a { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-info { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-topic-count { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-reply-count { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-freshness { color: black !important; }

.bbp-topics {
color: black !important;
background-color:white;
}

.bbp-forums a { color: black !important; }

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content a,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a {
	background-color: white;
}

#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
 background-color: #fff;
}
 
#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
 background-color: #fbfbfb;
}

/*styling to move 'Subscribe' to right hand side */
.single-forum .subscription-toggle  {
    float:right !important ;
}

bbPress came with the theme I installed but I cannot seem to get it to work. I couldn’t find any other posts about this problem either. Any advise would be super helpful. Thanks

I have two forums and I have two non-bbPress widgets. I’ve setup the widgets to show up on forum pages with the Widget Options plugin. Each of the forums need to show only the menu that pertains to it (match by state name). As of now, both widgets show up on both forum pages.

Tried conditional tag: is_bbpress() with the page ID’s, but it doesn’t change anything. None of my researched plugins seem to have this feature figured out.

Any ideas? Still fairly new to all this and not a coder so don’t have the best vernacular for troubleshooting.

What template file(s) I’ll have to change to render single bbpress topics as WordPress posts..? I mean I would like to render main topic different from other replies.

I am trying to import data from phpBB 3.2.1 to bbPress 2.6 RC 3. I am working on my local machine.
It is converting Forums, Topics and Replies but Users are not getting imported. Author column is showing as Anonymous.

While importing below error is showing up

like: Freshness is in english but the no topics is translated to arabic
i have the latest version of bbpress
i have configured wp_config.php to arabic
and my default wordpress language is arabic

–/wp-content/languages/bbpress
and
—/wp-content/languages/plugins/bbpress
and still a lot of sentences is completely in english even though when i use the loco translation plugin and search for this words they show up translated just fine

[vamshidhar]

Thanks, John. RC 5 is not downloading, I have downloaded RC 3. I have tried it locally with phpBB3 and bbPress2.6. It has imported Forums, Topics and Replies but not Users. Is there any problem with importing Users?

[thealex626]

Hello. I have an forum on MyBB 1.8.12 with about 60.000 posts, 4.000 threads and 5.000 users. When I’m importing it into bbPress using the importer tool that comes with the plugin, it works really slow. I’m using 100 rows per cycle and it takes 80 seconds to do. I’ve estimated the time for the full conversion and it appears to be around 15 hours… Is this okay with bbPress? When I tried to convert the same forum into vBulletin, it took about 5 minutes.

[kwerri]

Hello,

Currently, for my forum (www.filteredthoughts.com), to create a new post, the flow is like this:
– navigate to a topic
– scroll to the end of the topic
– enter content in the ‘Reply to’ edit field
– click ‘Submit’.

I am trying to figure out how to change this flow so that it is like this:
– navigate to a topic
– click on ‘Reply to’ button
– either:
– view previously hidden edit field on same page, or
– navigate to new page with edit field
– enter content in the ‘Reply to’ edit field
– click ‘Submit’.

In other words, I want the users to take explicit action to view the edit field to enter content.

Is this possible? I looked in the bbPress settings, but I couldn’t find anything that would let me do this. Can anyone help?

[kwerri]

I have a plugin called myCred which allows me to add a shortcode to a post so that anyone looking at that post will be allowed to click on a link to add points.

I am trying to figure out where in bbPress I will add this shortcode so that the link will appear for each post.

I am guessing that I will need to create a specially named page and then add the shortcode, but I am not sure about how to create the page (i.e. what name to give it). Am I on the right track, and if not, can someone help?

Hello Marc.
I know it’s been 9 months after your last post here.
Please can you help me 2 or 3 issues:

1. Topic Form:
I want to have been able to close the Topic Editor Form appearing at the bottom of a thread after all topics have been listed via this – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-hide-new-topic-form-at-the-bottom-of-single-form/

BUT I would love to have a button that redirects to a New Topic page, just below the listed Topics on a Thread/”forum” – Does your button redirect you to a new page?

2. Reply Form:
Similar to No.1 above, I don’t want the Reply Form to show at the bottom of comments if it’s possible (similar to hiding the Topic Form) and having a button at the bottom. However, I was hoping that the button was clicked would open up the form for users to type away (I think it’s called ajaxify)? Any suggestions?\

3. Any help on this unrelated topic would be great too – No one has responded yet – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/at-home-page-how-to-list-recent-topics-from-each-forum-under-its-specific-forum/

[jyotixxx]

Hi everyone,
I have almost finished setting up BBpress on my site. The last thing I am stuck is I want to add WP Social Login ICONS to the bottom of topic discussions. I have already succeeded adding this to bottom of forums here https://ehospital.in/forum/help-support/about-us/ by adding the php code<?php do_action( 'wordpress_social_login' ); ?>

I want to do the same to the bottom or under the user not logged in template notice. But unable to do that. Most probably, I am adding the code to wrong templates? Please tell which template should I edit?

You may want to start with the bbPress 2.6 release candidate instead. It comes with numerous improvements to the forum converter that will help speed up your migration.

You can download RC 5 here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/advanced/

[John James Jacoby]

Changes coming in bbPress 2.6 will make this easier for BuddyPress to keep a tab on.

[John James Jacoby]

I’ve made the following change, and it will be part of the 2.6 release.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6728

Until then, I’m afraid you’re a bit out of luck. There really isn’t a great place to filter that exact value other than the place I just added.

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve made another tweak to the way subscription emails are sent, hoping to make this work a little bit more efficiently.

See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6725

We could probably improve this a bit more still, by letting plugins like Mailgun replace the email sending process completely with their own. Sending emails en-masse is neither easy nor super fast, so however we can make this better in bbPress, we should be!

I’m trying to integrate buddypress-docs with bbpress forums; the intention is to have topics of discussion within an article/doc. Using buddypress-docs hook ‘bp_docs_after_doc_content’, I create a corresponding forum (if it doesn’t exist) and add a shortcode to display a topic creation form. If a topic exists and is selected, I redirect to the associated article, and display a single topic with:
echo do_shortcode( '[bbp-single-topic id=' . $topic_id .']' );
So far, so good, I don’t know if it is the right aproach, but it seems to work.
The problem comes when I want to post a reply within the selected topic. $_REQUEST variables are used to detect and display the selected topic, but on single-topic the additional ‘bbp_redirect_to’ hidden field is added, causing to redirect and lose those variables. I commented the line where this field is added (bbpress/includes/common/template.php:1620) and it works the way I want, but don’t want to do that 🙂
Any suggestions on how to work this around without messing around with the plugin’s code? Hope the issue is clear, thank you for any help you can provide and for taking the time to read this.

I am using bbPress for a course forum for courses we are offering and whenever anyone replies to a topic it doesn’t immediately appear in the thread. You can’t see it unless you log out and log back in. Or sometimes if you refresh you can see it but then if you refresh again it is gone. It is strange. People aren’t sure if their replies are registering or not.
