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!

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?

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.)

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,

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.

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?

[Mike Costanzo]

This is the first post I’ve found that accurately describes my predicament.

I am setting up a development site and attempting to import my forums via multiple XML files. However, the import process seems to be breaking a key relationship that allows the front-end of BBPress to work.

After importing, the Forums, Topics, and Replies all display correctly in the Dashboard, but on the front end I just get the standard “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” If I then run the Repair Tools “Recalculate the parent topic for each post” and/or “Recalculate the parent forum for each post,” then the relationship between Forums and Topics is lost, and the Replies page fails to load completely (returns an empty page with no error message).

From my digging around in the database, this problem seems centered around the field post_parent in wp_posts. On import, WordPress is setting this to “0” instead of the value in my XML file. If I click “Edit” on a Topic in the Dashboard and then click “Update” without changing anything, WordPress correctly repopulates this post_parent value and the Topic appears on the front end under its parent forum. But like @bigt11 and @welshdemon, I don’t have time to do that with 1,200 Topics and 7,400 Replies.

Does anyone have any ideas? I have spent weeks trying to figure this out. I have tried multiple different XML import plugins, but none of them seem to word well with BBPress (or work with big XML files). Any help you can give here is very much appreciated!

I have Akismet loaded on my website and have installed BBPress. I have a ton of spam topics being posted, but Akismet doen’t seem to be checking them. Is it supposed to? Am I supposed to do something differently to enable it to filter spam out of the forums?

Im trying to create a FORUM section for my MEMBERS ONLY area of which I’m using Thrive Themes awesome feature ‘Thrive Apprentice to create (Thrive apprentice creates a different section to my main website with a different menu and logo)

I’m using the bbPress plugin for this forum section, however whenever I click on any link it goes back to my main page section with the separate menu logo etc.

Is there a way to make my forum stick in my Thrive Apprentice Area without redirecting to my main website?

This is where I want my forum to be and stay – https://direwolves.gg/members/forums/

Observing a strange behavior that might be caused by Ultimate Member & bbPress working together (free integration).

In short, if ppl registered on my website as anything but ADMIN (either through UM form or added manually through wp-admin) they do not see “subscribe” to topic or thread option, whereas admins can see and subscribe.

Thie feature is very important to my business, as we provide financial analysis and need ppl to instantly learn about new updates – specifically the ones coming from threads they signed up.

I’v tried to turn off other plugins but the issues seems to come to user roles being somehow manipulated by either Ultimate Member or another plugin(s) (less likely). We also use “learndash” LMS, but not sure if it’s relevant.

I don’t’ think its related to Theme since the “Subscribe” to topic option is working perfectly fine if you are an admin.

Hi (i’m french so sorry for my english)
I have a compatibility problem between EventOnv2.6 and BBpress v2.5.14:
When the EventOn plugin is activated, it is no longer possible to see any topics and answers of my forum. Statistics who indicate how many topics and answers are visible but not the detail. It’s empty with alert message who said : “oups, no topics found”
What is the problem ? How to cure it ? Is it possible ? PS: I use the theme Woffice by Alkaweb (with Buddypress v2.9.1). Thank you for your help.

Hi there,

Running the latest of everything here (as of 23/10/2017). I’ve noticed an unexpected behaviour on my Buddypress/bbPress site that is basically the behaviour outlined here 3+ years ago: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/showing-buddypress-hidden-group-forums-to-group-members-on-bbpress-forum-index/

When a group is hidden, and thus the forum connected to the group is hidden, on the forum index page:
– Admins and keymasters can see all forums listed, including the hidden group forum (whether they are a member of that group or not).
– Members who ARE members of the group can’t see the hidden forum on the forum index page. They have to go via Groups > select the group > Forum to see it.

We’re running the Recent Topics widget, too, and I’ve noticed a similar thing happening here.
– As an admin/keymaster, you can see all recent topics, including those posted to hidden forums (even when not a member of the group).
– As a member of the group, you CAN’T see the recent topics from your group – UNLESS you are on the group’s forum page, then it shows them as expected.

Is there something wrong in setup here, or is this as designed?
It seems like it’d make sense for members of a group (regardless of roles elsewhere on the site) to see the forum on the forum index, and the updates in the Recent Topics widget.

Thanks heaps!
Min

The steps have been outlined at this link and it works perfectly.

Yoast is a good seo plugin and I’m sure it works fine with bbpress. I had used bbpress in one of my projects and also installed yoast and it was working fine.

[Peetee]

It’s clear now. It’s a BBpress issue.
When I disable the BBpress plugin, logging in is no problem anymore for the imported users.

So BBpress 2.6 RC3 is not compatible with WP 4.8.2.

[Robin W]

The last problem I’m getting is it always show bbPress is not compatible with Pro blog in config file

can you explain what you mean by this – is this an error message you are getting and when and how?

[American2020]

So, I’m having a problem using bbPress.

I have set 2 Forums on my site and whenever a non registered visitor clicks on the link to the Private Forum, instead of landing on a page informing them that they must be registered in order to access that content, they just land on a 404 page.

How do I change this behavior?

People asked on other post, while is it even that a visitor has access to the Private Forum link but, that’s easy, because I need that on the navigation menus, and also so they know it exists.

Hi Richard,

It seems that you have the same problem as here ? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topics-not-showing-on-forum

[Peetee]

In addition to the my question above:

It seems that I can log in with my mailadress instead of my username. I saw that the BBpress plugin has not been tested with WP version 4.8.2. Could this be the issue here?
