Hello,

if i start using bbPress i cannot acces to any Profile-site, not even the bbPress-profile site. I already tried to deactivate all plugins, but still the same: this page doesnt seem to exist. if i try to acces my ‘Ultimate Member’ profile site it gave me an redirection loop. I already tried another theme if bbPress would work with that, but no, still same (i used a standard theme of WordPress)
-was usein wordpress 4.8
-with WordPress 4.7 still same

Forum index not showing ‘subscribe’ link.
Option is enabled in admin/backend for BBpress.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I have bbp style pack so I can move the subscribe link away from the breadcrumbs.
Your default position for the subscribe link touches the breadcrumb and Robin Wilson’s plugin supposedly fixes that. (provides the option to force it to the right).
When I disable his plugin, I can see the subscribe link next to the breadcrumb. But this is unacceptable as I pointed out above.
Thanks

Is there a plugin for bbPress that allows me to customize the text editor?

[Robin W]

1.

I’m wanting to move the Edit/Move/Split/Post bar down

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/loop-single-reply.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/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

then around line 29

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_admin_links' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links' ); ?>

this is the bit you are wanting to move.

2.

Is there a way to have the join date underneath their photo beside the post?

yes it can be done, but would need some coding.

Same template, around line 57 you’ll find

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' ); ?>

That’s where you want to add the join date, either as a hook to the action above, or as additional code.

I suspect you’ll want to pick up the date from the wp_posts table user_registered field.

using bbp_get_reply_author_id() should get you the user, and

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata

should give you how to use it, with say

<?php $user_info = get_userdata(bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
      $registered = $user_info->user_registered;
      echo $registered?>

probably being close to what you want, but you’ll probably need to do some date stuff to display how you want

https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ref_date.asp but possibly a strtotime() function

Hopefully that’s enough to get you somewhere !!

– bbPress Version: 2.5.13
– Forum URL: HotRodForums.net

– I’m wanting to move the Edit/Move/Split/Post bar down below the content of the post, and was wondering what theme template I would need to modify for that.

– Is there a way to have the join date underneath their photo beside the post? We’re wanting to move the post date over to the main box, and have the author’s join date where that was.

I know you all don’t do custom work, so we’re just looking into being pointed in the right direction.

Thank you for your time!

your login requires an authorisation code, which if you get it wrong is taking you to google.

the logon is part of wrodpress, not bbpress, but I guess that you have a plugin that is doing this authorisation, and that’s where you need to look

Hi, I’m not too clued up with computers but I have a website diypondfilters.com I have just installed bbpress forum. The problem I have is when Login is clicked it takes you to the google home page.
I’m running WordPress 4.8
My current theme: Route Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme: 4.3.1
bbPress 2.5.13-6410

Any help would be very much appreciated. People are trying to join my forum and are unable to.
Thank you , Terry.

I have done a conflict test and have found out that it is a conflict between Ultimate Member and bbPress plugins.

When bbPress plugin is deactivated, the menu structure becomes how the way it should be for the ‘Standard’ user role. When bbPress plugin is activated, the menu structure changes to look like the ‘Premium’ user role’s – this ONLY happens when the ‘Standard’ user role is in the forum page. The forum page on my website is called ‘Enter the Community’. The image of this conflict is here.

So in my thorough research regarding bbPress I’ve discovered many run into problems of a very sluggish system when the Forum Index gets too heavy. By that I mean when the bbPress installation gets loaded with too many categories and forums and subforums and such.

Is this resolved in the current RC?

If not, does using Multisite to create several smaller independent boards on their respective sites [rather than one massive board] create a smoother response?

Hello,

Recently, I started using bbPress and it’s been fantastic so far. One of the things I’ve been trying to complete was an announcement/important information forum. I want to let users read the topics and comment, but not post anything on this specific forum. I have other forums where I want the users to have access to posting topics.
I’m not sure if this is possible or if it was brought up in the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My best,
Matt

bbpress comes with a number of converters.

Once bbpress is installed go to

tools>forums>import forums and follow the screen.

[janurmas]

Hello, I currently using SMF on my forum site. I have no idea how to connect my SMF to my WordPress blog, as the forum is part of the blog, which is installed under its subdomain. Please, help me give an idea how to convert SMF to bbpress!

[TrustedOrb]

Sorry, the problem is solved after installing bbPress 2.6 beta 2 from https://bbpress.org/download/. I was on bbPress 2.5.13, WordPress 4.8, PHP 7.x

[TrustedOrb]

Set up WordPress on my Windows PC. When I click on “Forums”, I get the error
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\forums\functions.php:1800 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query)) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-query.php(1683): do_action_ref_array('pre_get_posts', Array) #4 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-query.php(3248): WP_Query->get_posts() #5 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp.php(617): WP_Query->query(Array) #6 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp.php(735): WP->query_posts() #7 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\functions.php(955): WP->main(Array) #8 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\post.php(1072): wp(Array) #9 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includ in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\forums\functions.php on line 1800
New forums can be created without any errors, but when I click on the URL of the new forum, I get the same error again.

Hi there, I was wondering if there are any known user role conflicts between Ultimate Member and bbPress.

I have ‘Standard’ role and a few other user roles in Ultimate Member. Standard role has limited menu items. I have set the conditional menus in Appearance>Menus to allow certain menus to disappear when Standard user is logged in. When Standard user is logged in, the menu items appears as I have set until I click on the menu item that goes to the bbPress forum, and those hidden menu items appear – that are not supposed to appear for Standard user role. It baffles me that it is only the forum page that it is do this.

Any known conflict between the two plugins?

[ganapathi9]

Hi all,

I am aware of this plugin BBPress Topics for Posts : “https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/”.

It creates wordpress posts as topics in BBPress Forum and also posts all the comments of that post as replies to the same topic created in the Forum.

The problem with this plugin is it replaces the comments in the WP post with a link to the forum topic for further discussion and one cannot comment further.

Along with the link for discussion, I want the comments to be enabled so a user with no time can just leave a comment and go.

I read this feature is going to be part of core BBPress 2.6. Could somebody confirm on this?

Any solutions availabe also, I am ready to pay.

Regards
Gana

Hey everyone,
I would like to remove the “Forums” tab from the profile menu, but don’t know how to do it.
I tried the css method and the PHP method.
NOTE: I’m using both BBPress and Buddypress, but the tab is generated by BBPress.

[Howdy_McGee]

Thanks! I’ve been in the code so much I didn’t realize that BBPress has it’s own role to assign things like Keymaster. That ended up doing the trick.

[Robin W]

If you are happy for them to access the dashboard backend forums, topics and replies, then just make them worpdress editor, and bbpress keymaster. If you don’t want them to have backend forums, just topics and replies – then make them worpdress editor, and bbpress moderator

[Shmoo]

Well, if you’re not afraid to dive into the template files you could walk though them and comment-out the parts where the replies get included.

I this part for example.

But when you start doing this you need to understand how to override bbPress template files by copying them over to your own WordPress theme directory. You can find more about that in the codex.

It’s just walking through paths and following the hierarchy.

OF course, back-up and always test this first locally. Never do stuff like this straight on live websites.

[Howdy_McGee]

So I’m trying to allow Editors to manage forums and forum posts. I was able to set all the capabilities to allow them to manage topics and replies but in the admin panel forum access is still denied and the page is entirely hidden from the admin side.

I did run across this topic but it’s 3 years old – is this still an issue?

Here’s what the capabilities look like that have been added:

[moderate_comments] => 1
[manage_categories] => 1
[manage_links] => 1
[upload_files] => 1
[unfiltered_html] => 1
[edit_posts] => 1
[edit_others_posts] => 1
[edit_published_posts] => 1
[publish_posts] => 1
[edit_pages] => 1
[read] => 1
[level_7] => 1
[level_6] => 1
[level_5] => 1
[level_4] => 1
[level_3] => 1
[level_2] => 1
[level_1] => 1
[level_0] => 1
[edit_others_pages] => 1
[edit_published_pages] => 1
[publish_pages] => 1
[delete_pages] => 1
[delete_others_pages] => 1
[delete_published_pages] => 1
[delete_posts] => 1
[delete_others_posts] => 1
[delete_published_posts] => 1
[delete_private_posts] => 1
[edit_private_posts] => 1
[read_private_posts] => 1
[delete_private_pages] => 1
[edit_private_pages] => 1
[read_private_pages] => 1
[list_users] => 1
[create_users] => 1
[delete_users] => 1
[edit_users] => 1
[publish_forums] => 1
[edit_forums] => 1
[edit_others_forums] => 1
[delete_forums] => 1
[delete_others_forums] => 1
[read_private_forums] => 1
[read_hidden_forums] => 1
[publish_topics] => 1
[edit_topics] => 1
[edit_others_topics] => 1
[delete_topics] => 1
[delete_others_topics] => 1
[read_private_topics] => 1
[publish_replies] => 1
[edit_replies] => 1
[edit_others_replies] => 1
[delete_replies] => 1
[delete_others_replies] => 1
[read_private_replies] => 1
[manage_topic_tags] => 1
[edit_topic_tags] => 1
[delete_topic_tags] => 1
[assign_topic_tags] => 1
[spectate] => 1
[participate] => 1
[moderate] => 1
[throttle] => 1
[view_trash] => 1
[keep_gate] => 1

As far as I can tell they’re exactly the same as the keymaster ( with some additional capabilities ) so why is the Forums still unaccessible in the admin panel?

[digitalartbynate]

I am having a small issue with something.
I want visitors to be able to make topics, but I DO NOT want anyone to be able to reply for now. It seems I am unable to stop replies, as well as I would like visitors to be able to post topics without filling out there name and/or email.
Any help with this, I have looked at many plugins to help but found nothing.

[Robin W]

the template for forum is

templates/default/content-archive-forum.php

make a copy to your child theme directory under a directory called bbpress.

[Robin W]

presuming that 367 is your forum number, then that should be ok

if it is not displaying it could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[TrustedOrb]

I am new to bbPress. Please let me know if I can redesign the categories page to look different than the forum topics.
