Hi,

I have bbpress installed and for some reason the favorite option won’t work. The favorite tab is there, but when you click “Favorite” it simply change to “0” – the option of “un-favorite” as I believe it should. The favorite stream won’t populate after either.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to change the group forum slug. E.g.
from
‘mysite.com/groups/mygroup/forum’
to
‘mysite.com/groups/mygroup/discussion’

I am using this code:

function gi_rename_group_slug() {
  global $bp;		
  if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) {
    $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['forum']['slug'] = 'discussion';
  }
}
add_action('bp_init', 'gi_rename_group_slug');

Unfortunately, nothing happens. What is the error? Thanks in advance.

It’s all tied up with the theme’s page code

This all gets very code oriented, hence suggestion to go to theme provider

however if you’re a bit into code try

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

[sapstudent]

Hi Team,

Here is my situation. I have bbpress installed in my site(sapstudent.com/community). I am displaying it under ‘Community’ page using following two short codes.
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-index]

Here SAP HANA, SAP Data Services & SAP BO Business Intelligence are categories, everything else are forums.

Now when I click on lets say ‘SAP HANA'(https://www.sapstudent.com/community/forum/sap-hana), it only displays forums under this category, however I would like to have recent topics below forums section as I have in ‘Community’ page.

The other issue I have is, if I use both [bbp-forum-index], [bbp-topic-index] shortcodes on my main forum page, I am getting two search boxes(one above forum list and other one above topics list). To avoid this, I have disabled ‘Allow forum wide search’.Ideally how can I disable seachbox for [bbp-topic-index] shortcode, so that I will have only one search box on my main page which is above forum list.

[cobitts15]

Okay so I copied the code from my page.php and made a bbpress.php

<?php get_header(); ?>
	<div class="content">
		<!-- Sidebar With Content Section-->
		<?php 
			$ultimate_kickoff_wrapper = 'container';
			$ultimate_kickoff_theme_option = get_option('ultimate_kickoff_admin_option', array());
			if(isset($ultimate_kickoff_theme_option['enable-boxed-style']) && $ultimate_kickoff_theme_option['enable-boxed-style'] == 'wide-style'){
				$ultimate_kickoff_wrapper = 'container-fluid';
			}else{
				$ultimate_kickoff_wrapper = 'container';
			}
			if( !empty($ultimate_kickoff_content_raw) ){ 
				echo '<div class="vc-wrapper '.esc_attr($ultimate_kickoff_wrapper).'">';
				while ( have_posts() ){ the_post();
					if( has_shortcode( get_the_content(), 'vc_row' ) ) {
						echo ultimate_kickoff_content_filter(get_the_content(), true); 
					}
				}
				echo '</div>';
				
				echo '<div class="pagebuilder-wrapper">';
				ultimate_kickoff_show_page_builder($ultimate_kickoff_content_raw);
				echo '</div>';
				
				
			}else{
				echo '<div class="'.esc_attr($ultimate_kickoff_wrapper).'">';
					$default['show-title'] = 'enable';
					$default['show-content'] = 'enable'; 
					echo ultimate_kickoff_get_default_content_item($default);
				echo '</div>';
			}
		
		?>
	</div><!-- content -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

My theme options aren’t showing when I try to edit the forum.

ok, you’ll need to be using the right template – see

My plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has both features you need (user stats with each topic/reply, and option to report topic to administrators). You can check it out here:

Hey there,
I got a penalty on my bbpress forum that I recently found out. Traffic from Google was dropping starting march 2017. Analyse shows only /topic/ is affected.
I dont know what to do. Should I delete topics with low text and quality? Should I close the forums and leave only relevant content?
I have no idea. None of the new content is indexed well. I tried to update and clean old topics, but they are not getting new traffic.

Any help is appreciated!

I am now using WordPress 4.8 and a theme called Newspaper X, installed bbpress 2.5.13. As you can see in my website:

Home

http://tomorrowlan.gg/forums/

It displayed some texts and most of them are non-functional. I have tried to disable all plugins and stuff like that, still not working. It kind of worked when I tried some default theme. Is there a way to fix it? Thanks

[cobitts15]

I’m trying to make my forum look uniform to the rest of my site with a dual sidebar of widgets. I’ve tried to follow the documentation for a bbPress specific sidebar and can’t get that to work either https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#26-creating-a-bbpress-specific-sidebar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Crash Victim

After days of working to find the error, it is BBPRess.

Somewhere between the last couple updates of both bbpress and WP and php 7.0/7.1 all things have failed.

At least that is when we have been able to trace it back to.

Anyone have any ideas how to get it working?

Thanks
Robyn

Does anyone know if bbpress has some code in it that can block the redirect after login? Or if it has its own redirect code that is preventing the redirect plugins from working?

[Robin W]

looks like an issue with the plugin bbp-messages rather than bbpress.

Probably that you had that plugin active without bbpress being active at a guess

[geedc]

I added bbPress this morning and my whole site blew up with this message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function BBP_MESSAGES\Inc\Core\bbp_get_user_slug() in /home/content/05/8953605/html/wp-content/plugins/bbp-messages/Inc/Core/Init.php on line 471. Don’t know what went wrong here but I had to restore through my domain host.

@robin-w whups, accidentally tagged the wrong person the first time. I would still greatly appreciate your opinion on the matter, especially in the context of bbpress 2.6 RC3

Hello, how i can set bbpress forum fullscreen or wide screen on wordpress theme Twenty Thirteen.

Thanks

[Robin W]

if you giuve me an example of a bbpress one I’ll chase this down

[kariellen35]

I’m still wondering about this… not sure if anyone else has the same problem, but these brackets appear in the subject line of all emails sent out by bbpress and there are no settings that I can find to change the emails and I haven’t been able to find a plugin to do it either (I use bpstyle pack)

Thanks!

Take care,
Kari

if it is any help. it is WordPress MU version.

has anyone else got the same problem? or managed to resolve it?

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

[mmcclanahan]

I’ve been running 2.6-rc-3 on a test site for a couple of weeks now. Works great but I am getting a lot of error log entries.

not sure if this does that

GD Topic Polls – New plugin for bbPress on WordPress.org

if not would be worth contacting the author to see if he would add it

[Robin W]

try

in bbpress 2.5.12 change line 1800 from

if ( empty( $post_stati ) ) {
            $post_stati = (array) bbp_get_public_status_id();

[Robin W]

bbpress has separate roles, so if for the wordpress roles you set the user to ‘no role for this site’ and for bbpress you set as say ‘participant’ then it should work, but you will need to test as I don’t know your site’s exact configuration
