Yeah I got it to work thank you, the reason it wasn’t working was because I had a BBPress folder in my main theme folder which was overwriting your plugin’s functions but it’s fixed now thanks again! 😀

[Robin W]

my plugin should overwrite anything you have done within the bbpress plugins file.

but of you have amended templates and put these in your theme’s bbpress directory, then these will take preference, so have a look in your theme directory and see if you have any.

[melodies]

On my forum, the timestamp on the posts are 7 hours in the past.
When a new post is made, it starts at “7 hours ago” rather than “just now,” “1 minute ago,” etc.

The general time is set correctly in the WP > Dashboard > settings and all other timestamps displayed across the site are accurate (messages, notifications, etc). Only notifications relating to bbPress are off by 7 hours.

This same issue can be found in an old thread post (Link below):

The time zone is off by 7 hours in my bbpress plugin forums

However, the solution in that post is outdated, since the code layout in has changed, and “line 178 in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php” no longer exists for manual alteration.

Can you please tell me which file I can edit in bbPress to manually subtract 7 hours from the freshness output timestamp of all future forum posts?

Thank you.

whilst it is old, I believe it still works fine

bbPress Moderation

[Dave]

Along the same lines, does bbPress have an option to hold comments/new topics for approval?

[rogerlridge]

It seems to be exactly what I’m looking for but when I changed it to the other layout, it didn’t change for some reason. Could I have overwritten the settings somehow? Because I have edited the files in the BBPress folder, so is there an action or a hook or a filter that needs to be in place in order for the changes to take effect? Thanks

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41134 seems relevant here.

@fabian If you wanted to take a stab at sprucing bbPress up with its own polyfill for autoload support, I’m happy to help test and implement.

We should probably open a ticket on our Trac as well.

[Robin W]

can’t see that this is anything to do with bbpress – can you explain further

[Ilona90]

Hello,

Can somebody please tell me how translation of bbpress works?

What I did:

I installed WordPress and set my default language
I installed bbpress plugin
I installed Loco translate
I create the map languages/bbpress on ftp
I downloaded the .po and .mo and put in the map

But nothing is working! Can somebody help me please?

[Robin W]

just had a quick look at what was in the free version, and looks like the pro version may have what you want – it claims

Buddpress profile link integration (New in V1.0.4)
BBpress profile link integration (New in V1.0.4)
BBpress Online User Statistics (New in V1.0.5)

maybe worth looking at

CBX User Online for WordPress

[Fabian]

@johnjamesjacoby thats not true, WP has a “polyfill” for autoloading, and actively uses it on every request, even on legacy PHP 5.2. So autoloading is officially supported.

These are first numbers about the impact of an unconfigured bbPress on a fresh WP server response time:

PHP 5.6 + opcache : +35 % SRT
PHP 7.0 + opcache : +28 % SRT
PHP 7.1 no opcache: +28 % SRT

As you can see bottleneck is loading and parsing. Note that the speedup of opcache in PHP 7 is about 6x.

[Droidism]

@rogerlridge you can also see if this plugin does what you want/need; https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/

I would propose following changes in bbp_update_reply_position in bbpress/replies/functions.php:2128.

function bbp_update_reply_position( $reply_id = 0, $reply_position = 0 ) {

	// Bail if reply_id is empty
	$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
	if ( empty( $reply_id ) )
		return false;

	// If no position was passed, get it from the db and update the menu_order
	if ( empty( $reply_position ) ) {
		$reply_position = bbp_get_reply_position_raw( $reply_id, bbp_get_reply_topic_id( $reply_id ) );
	}
	
	$post = get_post($reply_id);
	
	if($post->menu_order == $reply_position)
	    return (int) $reply_position;

	// Update the replies' 'menp_order' with the reply position
	wp_update_post( array(
		'ID'         => $reply_id,
		'menu_order' => $reply_position
	) );

	return (int) $reply_position;
}

[moejonet]

There is an infite loop on reply update caused by buddypress activity from bbpress if bbp_thread_replies() is false.

activity tries to get reply position, in this call position is updated for the reply but we are still in edit_post action so wp_update_post is called recursively until server gives up.

[Robin W]

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

Then you’ll see that line 27 contains the text you want to alter.

Hi,

I recently installed bbPress on my site at http://www.focusonfacilitationcop.com/forums/forum/cop-community/

When clicking on an open topic, the title for email in the reply form is entitled:
Mail (will not be published) (required):

How can I change “Mail” to “email”? This is an outdated label and surprised to find it here in current plugin.

Thanks for your help!

Best,
Steve

[gilescanter]

I have installed bbPress and have the forums set up (N1outdoors.com/n1forums). When someone registers as a new user, I receive the notification that a new user has signed up. However, they never receive the password email. I have tried this on multiple computers/devices in multiple places and cannot get it to work.

I have seen several posts where this is a problem, but cannot find an answer that works. I am not a developer, but am trying to fix this on our site. Please help. Thank you.

My wordpress version is 4.8.2

I am using the following:

Hi there,
How can I replace “voices” and “replaies” with icons (i.e. Font Awosome), as I can see in WordPress Support Forum?

-> https://wordpress.org/support/view/all-topics/

Is there any plugin? Or I need to edit php files (but then what happens after every bbpress update?)? Thanks!

[Bharat Karavadra]

Hello,

The issue was sort of resolved by switching off the ‘Embed media’ bbPress setting.

However, this does not explain why a different URL to that in the reply was being embedded.

It would be good for the developers to look into this unless there is something obvious I am not seeing.

[royurbanmedia]

Currently I have a problem with profile URLs in bbPress redirecting to the wrong page if a user has a number in their name that happens to match a page ID.

What I mean is currently if I click a URL like this: http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/users/myusername

It will direct me to the forum profile of someone with the username ‘myusername’ as expected.

However, if I click on a URL like this: http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/users/myusername94

Instead of directing me to the profile of myusername94 as expected, it actually redirects me to a completely different page which ends up being the page with ID 94, i.e http://www.mywebsite.com?p=94

I am guessing this may have something to do with permalink settings, which are currently set to Post Name. Is there a way to resolve this issue while still being able to use the same permalink structure?

[Indrekkor]

I am managing a largeish forum (2M+ replies) and would be interested is anyone using Sphinx Search Engine in their site?

We are using Sphinx RT index in another part of our website which is built on Yii framework and there we took the approach that site content is replicated into Sphinx from MySQL db.

So all the SELECT queries are done into Sphinx and MySQL gets bothered only with INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements.

Have not yet started working with this but thinking about taking the same approach with our bbPress forum to get rid of the slowness caused by SELECT SQL_CAL_FOUND_ROWS query.

In addition the aim would be to also create a blazing fast search alternative.

Has anyone tried to do something like this or has got any experience with Sphinx Search Engine and bbPress?

Hello Team bbpress

I am using the plugin bbpress. I want to customise that view of forum similar to http://www.veggieboards.com/forum/index.php this link.

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[ercvowners]

I am using WP 4.8.2; BuddyPress 2.9.1; BBPress 2.5.14 and Members 2.0.0
I have unchecked the option for “Anyone can register” because we are a discreet number of Owners in a COA. As Administrator, I create the accounts for Owners and control the Usernames to include unit numbers for identification. Because I don’t have the “anyone can register” field checked, it seems to limit functionality in creating groups, inviting friends, etc. I cannot assign pages to groups and members unless that function is checked, however I do not want other people registering. I also manage parts of the website for “Owner Only” access. Can you help? I want existing Owner/Members to have full functionality with their profiles, but I don’t want to open registration to outsiders.

[ebr4him]

I’d like to show custom fields based on topic ‘type’.

So I want to create a custom topic type ‘event’ that has additional fields — starts, ends and location. Although I can create the custom post type (using wp-types plugin) and fields (using Advanced custom fields) but I’m unable to use them in a bbPress forum.

Is it possible to have multiple custom topic types in a bbPress forum? So basically instead of creating a ‘topic’ inside a forum, I could create an ‘event’ that people would reply to. Or am I approaching this incorrectly and it should be done differently?
