Is this going to conflict with some of the bbPress swnippets I have already implemented. I.e. Login/logout redirection, etc. Or will it conflict with UAM for access to forums.

Do I need to make new groups within your plugin as well or can I use the existing with the enable topics permission?

I thought perhaps we were dealing with a configuration or rights assignment issue when trying to implement BBPress with LearnDash, but I get the same result using the single forum shortcode on a basic page on our site with no content protection.

Hello. My new site is not up yet, so I cannot give a link, however, what I would like to know is that on the main page of the bbpress forum, the category name and description for all the forum, has too much space in between them. I would like to reduce the spacing in between all category names/description. How to do this?

When you look at the screenshot of the website page in particular, you will notice the spacing is large between New and Updates and the description and also between the other categories and their description. I want to be able to see more categories on the page and compact the line spacing. Thank you.

Hi,

I’m the author of the 404page plugin, the most used plugin to create custom 404 error pages. My plugin uses the 404_template filter. Due to a user’s request I found out that this hook fires incorrectly in a particular case caused by bbPress. Of course I can bypass the problem but I wonder if you’d like to fix it because it is a bbPress issue.

On showing the profile page of a single member bbPress changes the main query to get the topics created by that member. This causes $wp_query->is_404 is set to true because no posts are found. This does not affect bbPress because $wp_query->bbp_is_single_user is set to true which causes the bbPress template loader to load the suitable template file.

But at the same time the WP core template loader fires the 404_template filter hook. This is fallacious because there is no 404 error.

I could fix that in my plugin by checking $wp_query->bbp_is_single_user but this would only bypass the problem. It is definitely wrong the 404_template hook fires in that case.

So I think it would be a good idea to correct this in bbPress. You’d only have to set $wp_query->is_404 to false after the main query was executed in case $wp_query->bbp_is_single_user is true.

In my opinion the bbp_template_redirect hook would be the right place to do that. Adding one more small function to this hook solves the issue.

I’m curious about your response.

Regards,
Peter

Hi There,

Creating a new topic should send email notifications to both user and admin is it possible bbpress ?
is it possible to show subscript on the dashboard menu item “topics” as it shows for the comments or woocommerce orders (pelase check screenshot https://www.screencast.com/t/OSu2bDERbF ).

Thanks!

Hey.

I am using bbPress 2.5.12 and I would like to use it as a Bulletin Board type functionality where Users can create topics in different forums, but cannot reply to those topics. It is kind of like a “Want Ads”/Read Only. The user can Edit/delete their own topic.

I have tried a few things but do not have a permanent solution. If I close the forum, then no new topics can be created.

Basically, I need the users to be able to create topics, but remove the “Reply To” section on all.

I am currently using a local copy of the website, so cannot share online. If this poses an issue, I could create some temp space to put it up.

Hi,
This is WP 4.8.1 with bbP 2.6rc3 (was hoping this corrected it, was running 2.5.13 all the time). THE CORE from ThemeFurse is running an Lifter LMS is doing the Site-Protection.
That’s the entrance https://youngstars.leben-fuehren.de/wp-login.php and “demouser” is username and password.
I can see the forums (/foren/) and the topics (e.g. “Mastermind”) /foren/forum/masterminds/. The Topics headline have a Link to the topic itself, e.G.: /foren/topic/test-topic/
BUT when I click on the headline, the topic doesn’t open. It goes back to the topics list /foren/forum/masterminds/.
I can create answers in the backend. But the frontend doesn’t show any.

• I did deactivate all Plugins -> no change
• I went back to twenteseventeen -> no change
• I fiddled around with the permalinks ->no change
• I repaired bbPress and BuddyPress several times -> no change

Funnily enough: [bbp-single-topic id=2279] works. I don’t get it and start to panic here, I guess. Any idea welcome!
Thanks

I am using the latest version of WordPress and BBPress and Divi theme with the Membership works plugin.
When you click on a topic the “feed” goes out of the theme and there is no way to reply. I have turned off most plugins to see if that was the conflict.

I have also tried bbpress on a different divi themed site and it worked right away.

Thanks

[rotlichtluzern]

gee Robin, thank you!

i just moved the site from shared hosting to a VPS and didn’t notice that only PHP 7.1 was activated. added 5.6 to the vps, activated it on the site and reuploaded the official current release of bbpress. all peachy now.

again, thanks, especially for the superquick answer, it’s very apreciated!

[Robin W]

Suspect you are using php 7.1
so 3 fixes
1. downgrade to a lesser version of php
2. upgrade to bbpress 2.6rc3
3. in bbpress 2.5.13 in includes/forums/functions.php
change line 1851 from
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’ );
to
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’, array() );
and change line 1796 from
$post_stati = $posts_query->get( ‘post_status’ );

to

$post_stati = $posts_query->get( ‘post_status’ );
if (!is_array($post_stati)){
$post_stati = array($post_stati);
}

Hello! I am still looking for a solution to import in bbpress, the files attached to my forum xenforo

[Robin W]

This is a theme rather than bbpress question.

you need to work out how to get your theme to display a menu and then create link items in that menu

[grainosalt]

Hello,
I am using the newest versions of both wordpress and bbpress. My website is forum.campexpo365.com. My question is, how do I add a menu to my site that appears on every page of my forum. I want the menu have options to take you back to the home page, contact page, about page, and to link to the main site page which is in a different location (campexpo365.com).

[grainosalt]

Hello,
How do I set my bbpress forum so that non-registered users can view content but not post and new registered users can view and post but not have any administrative capabilities?

[Jake Hall]

Hey,

There aren’t any plugins that serve this purpose primarily. You would be best taking a look at a form script, such as Ninja Forms or Contact-7, and look at either:

1. Requesting the fujnctionality from the plugin author -or-
2. Take a look at how bbPress posts are saved to the DB and try and create a plugin yourself (just be careful with this and make sure you don’t open any holes by not sanitzing data correctly)

Or alternatively you could pay some to do it. I think it is unlikely this will be created as a standalone plugin so your best bet is to try asking an author of an existing contact form plugin

[Krishnakumar K A]

[Matt Pritchett]

Trying to diagnose a site why the pagination for the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] works only to page 2. Once you get to page 3+ (of 1200+ pages) it 404s. It only goes to page 2 regardless of what the per page setting is for topics. This is running PHP7.0.x, WP 4.8.1 and I’ve confirmed the issue on 2.5.12 and 2.6 RC3. Going back to 2.5.11 gives me the ksort expects param 1 to be an array error as do all other 2.5.x series. I have tested with all plugins deactivated except bbPress and tried all the usual default themes. Any thoughts?

Hi,

Installing/customizing bbpress today, and I would love to make it look like it does here.

A post at the top with its own appearance showing that it is the main post.

Then:

Viewing 5 replies – 1 through 5 (of 5 total)

And then the replies which are obvious replies.

I’m sure this has been covered on here (or other places) before, I just don’t know exactly what to search.

Thank you for any help / ideas.

Archived old site: imapiece .com/connect1/
New wordpress site curently being developed: imapiece .com/
WP version: 4.8.1
BBPress Version: 2.5.13
(I broke the links and removed the https:// because the previous posts I made where all the links worked were never approved by mods and stayed in limbo, just take out the space before .com and they’ll work)

I am moving my current guild forums from PHPbb to buddypress/bbpress in wordpress.
There is one thing I can’t seem to find, and ive been looking around everywhere and it seems im not the only one looking.
bbpress .org/forums/topic/looking-for-an-application-plugin

Here is what im looking for, user registers and then applys for a specific group by going to a page with the php form and on submission the post is made in a specified forum.

So lets say there is a page with links to the groups pages and on each page is a application to join that group because the cosplayers have different questions than car guys or wow players. User fills out the app and when they submit it creates a new thread in that groups recruitment forum.

Here is the addon that I use with phpbb
phpbb .com/customise/db/extension/application_form

Here are some screenshots of it in its current use

Front end application

Then it creates a new post with New Application from %username

Then in the output view it has it in its own post

Has anyone seen ANYTHING from bbpress or buddy press that can do this? I have been looking and as mentioned I can’t find a solution anywhere. Closest I found was an option in gravity forms to send to trello or via email but that doesn’t make a new thread in a pre determined forum where community members can access and respond to it. I’m bootstrapping this myself if anyone knows a place that contracts this stuff out. I don’t have a lot of money, but the guild is dying and i dont know what else I can do.

Thank you for any information you may have available,

[Divvy]

I’m using this guide to show TinyMCE in my bbpress forum:
https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

Is it possible to remove or hide some buttons in Visual tab?

I want to hide those:

Can someone help me?

Thanks 🙂

7.1 has some issues with bbpress (or visa versa)

[atmojones]

Hmmm @slomeli79 it’s been awhile since I worked on this. I see this code in my functions.php file but I hesitate to think the solution was this simple. Try it out, and if it doesn’t work I’ll check the rest of my code.

function custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts( $retval = false ) {

	return true;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'custom_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts' );

[Robin W]

ok, you have two choices

either use the default wordpress lost password and register

http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
http://mysite.com/wp-login.php?action=register

obviously changing the ‘mysite.com’ to your sites name

or create pages within your site and use the bbpress shortcodes
and then reference the page url

eg create a page called ‘password’ and have it’s permalink as say ‘password’ and put
[bbp-login] as the page content (you can precede this with any text you like, or have text after) eg

Lost you password?- enter your email and we'll send a new one straight to you
[bbp-login]

Then in the widget you would put

http://mysite.com/password/

you can do the same with [bbp-register] to display the register screen.
