@sgirldesigns Install buddypress, this works alongside bbpress and provides a member list (and a lot of other features you can turn on or off).

Hope that helps.

@ruperty There are a bunch of converters built in to bbpress but I don’t think they would suit your needs for an old mailing list, they seem to be for specific forum softwares.

I’d use a CSV importer plugin as that’s nice and simple (maybe too simple for you?). Hope that helps.

@scottm-ldg Install the ‘bbp additional shortcodes’ plugin, that allows you to specify a different number of topics in the shortcode:

bbp additional shortcodes

Hope that helps.

[PinkishHue]

You could install the ‘bbp additional shortcodes’ plugin, then use that to display just one topic

bbp additional shortcodes

Then use ‘do shortcode’ if you want to place this in a template file, like:

// Use shortcodes in form like Landing Page Template.
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[bbp-display-topic-index show='1']' ); ?>

I think that should work for you.

I can confirm your widget issue. I’ve created at ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3123.

You can follow the progress there.

Hi again,
I have been searching the web for a solution:
My idea is to delete the default links, and get the link to peoples primary blog. When they fill out the bbpress form-reply.php, I want to get their user ID. From that user ID I can get the link to their primary blog.
Right now I got this:

//In my functions.php(the 2 is an example of a user id):
$GLOBALS[‘mytheme_thisismyvar’] =2;

//In my Loop-single-reply.php:´
<?php
$yeps=$GLOBALS[‘mytheme_thisismyvar’];
?>

<?php
$user_info = get_userdata($yeps);
$blog_details = get_blog_details($user_info->primary_blog);
echo ‘siteurl.’>’.$blog_details->siteurl.’‘;
?>

I want to get the user id from the bbpress form-reply.php to be $yeps? I thought about using get_the_author_meta?
Thank you

I successfully managed to post messages into the forum by including WordPress in my php script and calling bbp_insert_topic.
However, it seems like when I call bbp_insert_reply bbPress actually inserts a topic parented to another topic and these appear like replies in the site itself.
Tried repairing the forums and it didn’t work.
Any idea why?

I am developing a sitemap for a client on a dev site that is not publically accessible. On the site are several custom post types including Forums, Topics and Replies which I added to the site using a standard wp_query with post_types set to list all custom post types.
Some of these custom post types the client does not want included on the sitemap. So changing the “public” parameter to “false” I was able to remove selected ones that were created with the Custom Post Type plugin. However I cannot come up with a way to changing this on custom post types generated by the bbpress plugin without modifying the main bbpress.php plugin file.

New to working with bbpress so any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Robin W]

this is doable, but you’ll need to modify the role

see

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

and

Custom Capabilities

you’ll probably want to create a new role which just lets this role create and edit replies

[netixel]

Hi team,

Is it possible to improve BBpress so that it can have improvements :

1) Shows the total topics, replies and total count under the avatar on each topic/reply view in bbpress

2) Button to allow users to report a message to the moderator

Thanks for your answers

Regards

[nizami]

Thanks for the reply Robin…
Sorry my PHP knowledge is near-zero.
Are the three fixes you specify alternatives? (i.e. do one, not all of them?)
Can you say if BBPress will realign with WordPress core PHP requirements within 2 months?

Thanks

I found a bug with bbPress RC3 and BuddyPress. Tested with a fresh install using WordPress 4.8, and with only bbPress 2.6 RC3 and BuddyPress 2.8.2 activated. On the activity page the drop down box has duplicates. I’m running PHP 7.0.

[FionaS]

I’m also having problems. I can no longer see the topics/replies to the forums. It’s just a blank screen? I am waiting to hear back from the website host re: which PHP version we are on.

In the meantime could you please clarify the file name in the bbpress plugin where I can change line 1851 and see if this can work.

Looking forward to your response in due course.
Thanks

Hey Guys,

I have installed BBPress 2.6 RC3 because my host upgraded PHP version to 7.1.6. I’m using WordPress 4.7.5.

The problem is that I cannot create forums anymore. The “save” / “Update” Button disappeared from the page along with the editor options. As you can see here:

http://prntscr.com/foxoun

Please, can you help me?
Best regards

Hello,

I am using WordPress 4.8 and bbPress 2.6-beta-2.

I had to do a batch import of topics from csv, and all went well enough. The only aspect I was unable to cover was the parent forum field. I have found my parent forum id and used a mysql command to insert the forum ID (which is 290 in this case) into all rows where post_excerpt meets a condition. This all worked. For reference here is the mysql command:
update wp_posts set post_parent=’290′ where post_excerpt=’CONDITION’;

The issue I’m having is that although post_parent displays the correct parent forum ID within the database, on the frontend of my site none of these topics register as having a parent forum. Under “Topics” they still all say “No Forum,” and they are not listed on the forum page. Funny enough, the breadcrumbs show the correct path when looking at the individual topics (i.e., PARENT FORUM >> POST_TITLE).

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

[Robin W]

next version of bbpress will fix this, but in the meantime

3 different fixes – either
1. downgrade to a lesser version of php
2. upgrade to bbpress 2.6 RC
3. in bbpress 2.5.12 go to /includes/forums/functions.php and change line 1851 from
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’ );
to
$meta_query = $posts_query->get( ‘meta_query’, array() );
Since the next upgrade will fix that anyway, no issue in changing the bbpress file
best I can offer I’m afraid

[nizami]

Just lost and regained forums on one of my sites. Host support wrote:

We had upgraded php to 7.1 earlier this week. It appears that BBPress may not currently be compatible with the latest PHP. We have rolled back to PHP 5.6 and the forums are working again. However, to make sure that all sites are working on the suggested standards set by the WordPress core team, we will be upgrading all instances to PHP 7.1 within the next two months. It is possible that BBPress may make updates improving the compatibility in that time, but it is never a bad idea to be proactive on that front.

So what’s the deal with BBPRess PHP version compatibility please?

Hi!

I want to integrate bbPress with my existing theme, but I’m worried about crash my theme by doing so. I don’t know if my theme is compatible with bbPress.

I have WordPress version 4.8

BBPress 2.5.12 WordPress 4.8

I’ve search high and low but haven’t been able to find any resolve to this. I’ve used different plugins to help with my problem but haven’t been able to get exactly what I want. I’ve made a screen-capture of what my problem is. Can someone with knowledge please tell me how to remove the html editor from showing below the visual editor? I want to see the html editor only when the text/html tab is clicked. It’s confusing with the html just below the visual editor like that. I’ve tried the display:none but it the html editor was also not showing when I clicked the text/html tab.

Cheers!!
