Hello, I have also been trying to get a new topic button working for some time. In case it is of help to anyone, this is what seems to work for me.

I created a wordpress page template “forum.php” and added the following code – it adds a ‘New Question’ button to the forum page but not if it’s the parent forum:

<?php
get_header(); 

while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
if((($post_type = get_post_type()) == 'forum') ) //make sure we are on a forum
{
  if(bbp_get_forum_id() != 0) //don't add the button to the parent forum
  {
    ?>
    <a href="<?php echo esc_url( add_query_arg( 'c', bbp_get_forum_id( ), site_url( '/new-topic/' ) ) )?>">New Question</a>
    <?php
  }
}
the_content();
endwhile; // End of the loop.    
?>
<?php get_footer();

Now when I click the New Question link it opens the page new-topic and the forum I was on when I pressed the button is the forum the new question will be placed in.

new-topic is a page I created in wordpress, and I gave it a template page-new-topic.php

It contains the following code:

<?php
get_header(); 
$my_c = get_query_var( 'c' );
$forum_add_topic='[bbp-topic-form forum_id='.$my_c.']';
echo do_shortcode($forum_add_topic);
?>
<?php get_footer();

The line

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( add_query_arg( 'c', bbp_get_forum_id( ), site_url( '/new-topic/' ) ) )?>">New Question</a>

in forum.php adds a variable c (which contains the current forum id() -bbp_get_forum_id( ) ) to the url when New Question is clicked.

In page-new-topic.php this variable c is added to the shortcode [bbp-topic-form forum_id=XXX]

do_shortcode then runs the shortcode which creates the form.

I also had to add the following to functions.php to tie the two pages together:

function add_custom_query_var( $vars ){
  $vars[] = "c";
  return $vars;
}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'add_custom_query_var' );

You could add this as a plugin if you wish.

The idea for the shortcode came from this post: post

How to pass variables through wordpress urls came from this post:

I am new to WordPress and PHP so there may be better ways of doing this but, as I said, this seems to work.

Hello guys, i’ve created a website on free hosting. Installed latest version of WP (4.8.1), installed some plugins, theme, everything works perfectly. But, when i installed bbPress 2.5.13, i saw that i wasn’t tested on this version of WB, but i tried. As result: when i go to mydoman.com/forums/ it shows me ERROR 500. Also, when i go in dashboard >> Forums >> List of Forums (maybe it’s named so, cuz i’m using russian version of WP) it also shows me ERROR 500.
I Decided to downgrade (reinstall) the entire WP without any plugin and theme. I choosed version 4.7.5 as it says that is tested on bbPress 2.5.13. So, i installed WP, installed bbPress, and tried to go to dashboard >> Forums >> List of Forums and it returns me this:

if image is too small, here’s the link to it: http://i.imgur.com/UPirh3p.png
Idk what to do and what to try.
Thanks for helping.

Is there any possibility for this?

I use a bbPress Moderation plugin. When a topic or a reply is held for moderation, I receive a mail (showing the user’s name and the message + heading). Then I need to log in with my admin account, check each and every topic, change the status “Pending” to “Open” and then publish the post.

This is too difficult to handle is there are a lot of topics and replies. So, are there any ways where I can add a link to the email I receive, so I can read the topic created by the user and directly approve the post by clicking on the link?

Just to confirm this issue exists for me on latest updates,
Wordpress 4.8.1
BBpress 2.5.13

On a long topic (75 pages) exactly the same issue. Only the the most recent replies URLs go to the start of the topic. Older replies URLs work and go to the relevant reply. Sometimes the topic shows 76 pages, other times 75…!

I thought I was clever and deleted the most recent replies up to the one which was working, all replies links to the correct reply. Then I added one new reply of my own, and voila, broken again and links to my most recent were missing the pagination part of the URL /76/ and clicking the link (despite having /#post-1234545/ in the URL) takes me back to the first page of the topic.

Hey there guys… there is a specific element on my bbpress forum that I need to customise and I’ve been through the style crib, the bbpress style sheet, and even the bbpress style pack plugin and can’t sem to find in the code anywhere that will help me customize this element. I have a screen shot but now I realize I can’t use screen shots here. The element is the Reply To: element. I know how to make it non transparent… but I can’t figure out where to set that text color at all. The actual text “Reply To” needs to be a different color so it can be seen. I also think there is a glitch in the boarder as well. Any help would be awesome. Here is a link to my screenshot: http://fjrmbfans.us/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/FORUMscreenshot.jpg you’ll see my issue in the bottom portion. Thanks again for all your help!

Hello,

i jsut got into WordPress and wanted to use bbPress.
So I installed bbPress and it lets me change my Preferences under Preferences–> Forum.
I also can create new Forums and they show up in my bbPress Widgeds.

Also i deactivated all other plugins and changed my theme to wordpress-standard. No Luck though. Im using shapely Theme

If anyone could help it would be highly aprichiated.

When I delete a user (with deleting all content) through WP backend and re-register the same username & email again the new user is assigned forum role Participant. User has access to the forums (which are protected by bbp_Private_Groups, but the new user is not able to start topic and/or reply to it.

PS: update: no user can post / reply anymore. It is due to the fact that there is 1 topic in my forum with an anonymous user (because that user has been deleted). Deleting that topic form the backend solves it.

Is there any other way to delete a user without affecting access rights for all users in the forums containing topics with posts from the deleted user?

Hey All

Forgive me if this has already been discussed but I was wondering if a fix to the pagination links of threads with 100 or more pages of replies has been resolved as part of 2.6?

The issue is discussed here along with code that resolves the problem:

Links to last post are wrong (pagination issue?)

Thanks!

wordpress version. 4.8.1

BuddyPress version 2.9.0

Website: http://forum.epp-forum.com/

We use the shortcode [bbp-topic-index] on our homepage. In this listing are also displayed topics, to which one has access only if one is logged in.
These topics should not be displayed if you are not logged in. How can we prevent it?

Thank you for help

One of the webmasters for our organization set bbPress to handle the blog comments and disabled wordpress comments. I want to change it back and use bbPress as a separate forum and not the Blog comments. Can I switch it back without losing all the current replies/comments?

Thank you.

Hello

I would like to know if you can limit the amount of topics that the student can create.

I’m using WPLMS with bbPress.

For example: When entering a student to a course, in the forums section, you can create up to 15 queries.

Our idea is to have a forum with that capacity of support per student. We need to generate a service that needs to give a limited support, since it will be with a consultation plan per company. Thus the client is told that he can do 15 queries per month, if he wants to make more consultations, he would have to hire 15 more consutlas.

I hope you can help me and if you can realize this idea.

Best regards.

Paul

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);
}
