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?

Hi
I have a weird problem with bbpress
most of the words in bbpress is not translated but some is
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
also i double checked all the translation files in this directory
–/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

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.

Hello!

WP version: 4.8.2
bbPress version: 2.5.14

I am looking for a method of tracking how often users participate in forums and even tracking their use of specific forums.

The information should be visible to each user so they can see which forums they still need to participate in. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Many thanks!

I have already made my site and just now realized there’s no live notification widget of any kind. why is that? i cant expect my users to always run to their email to check for notificatioons. how could bbpress miss such an integral thing? is there any way i can notify users of replies, mentions, votes without them having to check the email every now and then???

[vamshidhar]

I have an old forum running on phpBB 2+ version. It has nearly 70000 users and 400000 artcles.
Now I need to migrate it to latest bbPress. In bbPress documentation I read that it support importing from phpBB 3.0+, So how can I achieve this migration?

[bigidol]

I’m running: BBPRESS 2.5.14, WordPress 4.8.2 and BuddyPress 2.9.1
Website: http://www.bigidolforum.org

I am currently building the site, utilizing the “Highend” Theme. Feel free to create user accounts and test at will.

1: The hyperlinks attached to profile images and usernames work perfectly in BuddyPress sections of the site such as Groups and Profile Pages.

2: The hyperlinks attached to profile images and usernames do not exist on bbpress pages. This makes it nearly impossible to navigate to other user profiles.

3: While logged out and viewing Forum Index, usernames and respective profile images appear under Freshness display time. There are no hyperlinks on these while logged out.

4: While logged in and viewing the Forum Index, Freshness displays only time, no usernames or profile images.

The most important thing to me right now is repairing the missing hyperlinks while viewing the forum. I would like to stabilize the Freshness situation by removing profile images/usernames completely or making it entirely functional. I am an entry level site builder looking to learn as I go. This site will be used by hundreds or thousands due to a large social media following. I love the challenge but it’s hard to find where to start on these issues.

Hi @robin-w,

Did you get a chance to take a further look at this?

I noticed that if I change the “Dashboard > Settings > General” timezone to UTC+0, bbPress starts displaying the correct time freshness, but all other timestamps across the website become incorrect, because UTC+0 is the incorrect timezone for the website’s location. It should be UTC-7.

Please tell me how I can apply the “UTC+0” timezone exclusively to bbPress alone, so that it starts displaying the correct freshness?

Hi,

Are there any plugins out there that will allow forum members to reply to forum posts form their email? I’ve been trying to get bbPress Post Via Mail to work without any luck. No answers to support requests either. Does anyone know if that plugin is still being supported? Or does anyone know of another option?

Thanks!

[mithrandir]

PS. to answer your original question, a plugin does not exist for this purpose, as what you are trying to achieve is a custom built solution. Any plugins that exist are for more general purpose and commonly used bbPress styling patterns.

[mithrandir]

This is not very difficult to achieve, and does not require any plugins. A similar look is possible with modifying the bbPress template files, and some custom CSS styling. Although it depends on your experience with HTML,CSS and a bit of knowledge about PHP and how WordPress templates work.

To find the location of the bbPress template files navigate to:
‘wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bppress/’
Here you will find various template files which serve various purposes.
for eg. loop-topics.php is the template file for the topics ( like in the kleo theme ).

You should not modify the original files.
Instead create a folder named bbPress in your theme root folder (or child theme root folder)
ie. ‘wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/bbpress/’
Any changes you make in this newly created folder will be given priority over the originals.

Copy any files you wish to modify from the original location into this folder.
This way updates to bbPress wont overwrite any files you have modified and your changes wont be lost.

The avatars you see, can be selected as an option in the WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Dashboard> Settings > Discussion –> Default Avatar
Here you will have the option to choose from:

• Mystery Person
• Blank
• Gravatar Logo
• Identicon (Generated)
• Wavatar (Generated)
• MonsterID (Generated)
• Retro (Generated)

The (Generated) avatars are the ones to choose from.

If you are willing to invest some time ( since without fluency in the aforementioned skills, it could take a little bit of trial and error), I could help you in achieving this.

It is a little late in the night at the moment(in my country), ill post back tomorrow to get the gears rolling with some examples.

Hello please how to create the new post Link on bbpress thanks?

[mithrandir]

Not sure why its not working, seems to work on my end.

I believe the cause of the issue is the wordpress theme your website is using.
The best solution would be to contact the authors of the theme WPZOOM, and im sure they can find a quick solution.

If not, you could try adding the CSS once more, the following should work:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content p a, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content p a{
	background: none;
	color: black !important;
        position:relative !important;
 	display:inline-block !important;
        visibility: visible !important;
}

In truth it is difficult to address any styling issues without being able to see the website, if you can not get in touch with the authors of the theme I could try my best to find a solution.

[janallsopp]

Thanks @mithrandir786 there are no plugins to alter the appearance of bbPress. And the CSS didn’t work. What else can I try? I don’t want to change the colour using code as none of our participants would be able to do that. Unless there is a visual editor?

Thanks,
Jan

I’m trying to use Post Via Mail so that forum users can reply to forum posts directly from their email. I’ve had a rough time getting it set up with Postmark (required in order for Post Via Mail to work) and can’t get it to work properly. Any reply from email does not get posted to the forum. Any thoughts?

I have a multisite wp installation (4.8.2) with bbPress forum (2.6-rc-3) and Akismet activated. Only logged in members are allowed to write in forum. One of our members is of unknown reason blacklisted and we have to approve his posts every time. Is there any way to get him whitelisted?
