Hello,

So I am new to wordpress and bbpress. For forum usage I am very used to phpbb3. I installed bbpress + buddypress because my wordpress theme supports it, but upon playing with it, it doesn’t feel like forums at all.

1) Why can’t I do a normal forum layout:

Category 1
Forum 1
Forum 1 description
Forum 2
Forum 2 description
Category 2
Etc

2) Where is the normal forum functionality? Signatures, Mark all as read, statistics, Who’s Online, etc

3) No usergroups or controls? How do I set private forums? Some forums I want people to read and reply, but not create new posts. I can’t do this?

4) It doesnt seem it even tells me which forum has new posts and which doesn’t? Maybe that’s a Theme issue?

So is bbpress actual forums or meant for something else? Or am I missing it all entirely?

I just install and use BBpress, all settings are fine for me, but only the below issue.

I would like to integrate WordPress Social Login 2.3.3 into my forum, in which I find that there is no Login/Register box for visitors to register/login before creating/commenting topics.

May any specialist provide solutions to me?

THanks a lot!!!

Hi everybody, first post here! 😉

I hope somebody can help me, since I’m having problems with the translation of a new bbPress installation… It’s kind of strange actually, because it seems to translate only part of the strings, but if I check my .mo & .po files they’re fully translated, just how it should be.

I’ve been using WordPress for years but it’s the first time I used bbPress as well, so I followed these instructions religiously.
(I actually only had to change the directory in which I put the .mo & .po files to wp-content/languages/plugins, since putting them in wp-content/languages/bbpress/ – I had to create this folder to try – like written in the documentation won’t work. After that I tried to put them in every other “logic” place that came to mind with no success)

Here are a couple of screenshot to let me show my “half translated/half not” situation:

Thank you very much for any input!

bbPress 2.5.14

WP 4.8.2
Site is not yet live to public
Paid theme

Hi- I’m trying to create a bbpress sidebar template on the forum page. The sidebar works on the default page but it’s not optimal to have a bbpress sidebar on every page of the site. Therefore, I’d like a template just for bbpress.

I’ve searched the forums and have consulted used the bbpress documentation.
Here’s what I’ve done. Any input is appreciated.

I’ve created a bbpress specific sidebar using css and php in my child theme (using bbpress instructions)

I’ve populated the sidebar with widgets and saved it. However, when I go to page>templates there is no bbpress sidebar template to choose from.

To fix this, I went to the theme root page templates and copied ‘template-sidebar-left.php.’

Per the bbpress instructions, I renamed it bbpress.php and moved it the file to the theme folder. Now it’s wp-content/themes/%mytheme%/bbpress.php

This didn’t add a bbpress sidebar template. So I went into bbpress.php and changed
<div id=”primary” class=”container”>
to
<div id=”primary2″ class=”container2″>

No luck.

Also, I checked and there are no inactive sidebar widgets.

Still no luck. What am I doing wrong? What else can I try to get a bbpress template sidebar to appear?

Again, any insight is appreciated.
Thanks

The RC 5 is not getting downloaded for me from the page https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/advanced/

https://ibb.co/cfQDB5

I am getting the following error.

This site can’t be reached

The web page at https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6-rc-5.zip might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Sorry to hear of the problem you are having.

I have tested it on my test site and it’s working fine for me using latest version of bbPress plugin.

Are you getting it on visiting the following URL where you have to replace yoursite.com with your site domain?

http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum

Try deactivating and reactivating bbPress plugin.

This can be due to plugin conflict on your site so please try temporary deactivating all plugins except bbPress plugin and see whether everything works fine and then enable the plugins one by one to see which plugin is conflicting if any.

When I use the script you provided it works but I also start to get the following errors.

WordPress 4.8.2 running GeneratePress theme
bbpress Version 2.5.14

‘Forums’ has disappeared from the wordpress admin menu. They are still there on the front end but I can’t access forums on the dashboard.

Help?

[clearscope]

Not sure what you mean – are you suggesting that this is a conflict with the site itself?

This issue is occurring with the default Twenty Seventeen theme, the most recent version of WordPress, the most recent version of bbPress, and with no other plugins installed.

It seems that this is an issue with bbPress itself, not any sort of conflict with a site.

[lovechard]

@johnjamesjacoby Yes, members and admins are getting notifications for bbpress mentions… but it doesn’t take them to the forum they were mentioned in when they click on it.. it just takes them to the news feed.

@netweb that mention just goes to my profile. What I am wanting… is the notification for the mention to take them to the actual mention in the forums.

Thanks for your help!

[rogerlridge]

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

@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;
}
