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

@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.

@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.

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:
bbPress Version 2.5.14

Version 1.0.7 | By Digital Arm

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.

I have created the child theme and add the css folder and archive-forums.php file in the child theme. I am not able to customise plugin using css only because I want to change the structure. If I change plugin core file then future update overwrite my code and when I am place the complete plugin in child then its stop working and page become blank.

Please give me the solution I am waiting your solutions.

My bbpress plugin Version: 2.5.14

Wordpress Version: 4.8.2

Thanks

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?

[edwardtheunicorn]

My goal is to create a login and registration for my forum. I go to wordpress admin page > Appearance > Widgets. Although, when I do this no “bbpress sidebar” is available to put widgets into it. What do I do?

[Mike Costanzo]

Hi there!

I’m importing forums from Rainmaker into WordPress 4.8.2 and BBPress 2.5.14. On first glance, it looks like all has done well; a quick glance at a sample Forum, for example, tells me:

“This forum contains 74 topics and 698 replies.”

However, my Topics and Replies are not being “found” when a Forum is clicked on:

“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

This appears to be because the post_parent in wp_posts for all these Topics and Replies is set to “0” in the database. And what’s worse, the “Repair” tools like “Recalculate the parent topic for each post” or “Recalculate the parent forum for each post” do not fix the problem; post_parent remains at value 0.

The only way I have found to populate a Topic with the correct post_parent value is to open that topic in the Editor and click Publish. But since I have hundreds of Topics and thousands of Replies, manually saving all these Posts is hardly a workable solution.

Does anyone know of a better way to solve this problem that doesn’t involve nearly infinite man-hours of drudgery and toil?

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give. Long live BBPress!

[heppusiel]

I just try latest version of BBPress, and this problem exist. Is there any fix coming? Codes above didn’t work for me.

[Robin W]

10 years ago would have been bbpress version 1, which probably explains it.

I’d need to look at how best to do a password protect, and it would be a couple of weeks due to other commitments, might well be a standalone plugin rather than private groups, as that plugin is now so full that I have to keep refreshing myself on how it works !

If you’d be interested, contact me via my website

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[Robin W]

if you disable (as a test) any/all of Active Member 360 / Active Campaign / Buddy Boss Social Learner / BBPress / Learn Dash.

Does the problem go away, suspect the issue is related to those plugins

[Robin W]

I’m not aware that this was previously possible with bbpresss v2 (may have been with v1) – I am author of private groups.

2 questions

1. if password protected, how would you envisage the forum working – can you describe it’s set up
eg who would see the forum and when?

2. I could do with understanding the time saving over using private groups. In one case you allocated someone to a group, in the other you email someone a password, isn’t time taken the same? With passwords if you ever want to change who can see, you have to tell everyone the new password, with private groups you just change the user. With passwords everyone has to remember the password, and there is a risk that it is compromised. Please understand – I’m not arguing that you don’t have a valid proposition, just trying to understand whether I can make PG better, or if I can see you angle, add PW capability to my plugin.

[Krupa Nanda]

Steps:
1. Goto /wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=forum Page.
2. Check Preview button UI.
3. Output is something like as show here.

Anyone facing the same problem?

Download and install the BBPress Toolkit plugin. After you install the toolkit you will see BBP Toolkit under the Dashboard Tools menu. Select close forums and you can assign specific privileges to each forum.
