As Mika points out sharing content or menus across sites is problematic at best

I think taking a look at a few of the many resources on “memberships plugins” here:
* http://chrislema.com/memberships-plugins/

There’s some good round ups of how these plugins work in restricting access to content…

FWIW, bbPress is 100% multisite compatible, either activated per site, or site wide as a “mu-plugin”, it’s just not for the faint of heart, so if you want to take a stab at using multisite then have at it and see if it can work the way you envisage 🙂

Ill start by saying im not a developer and can edit php and code, but I cant write it from scratch…. yet

So ive been moving a guild site over from phpbb into wordpress and am still trying to figure out the best way to handle applicants, I made a post here if anyone had any ideas about that
https://bbpress.org/?post_type=topic&p=181981

So I was looking into how to maybe do a multisite with a single forum handling all the main communication among the community as a whole. I was looking through the forum here and everything that said it cant be done is very old. Is there a way to have shortcodes and custom user fields to work around that? Or maybe iframe?

Here is my thought, ill use car clubs for example

Root Forum

1 category – Car Club –
1-2 forum – public
1-3 forum – recruitment needs

2 category – members only
2-2 forum – New Car Club Applicant
2-3 forum – Car Club Events
2-4 forum – ADMIN

3 categories – (3) Honda – (4) Ford – (5) Mazda
3-2 forum – news rss
3-3 forum – brand specific news

Ok, so lets say on the main site if someone goes there it pulls everything since its the root. But give the car club its own multisite along with any niche sub group. In the custom user groups have shortcodes associated with the different ranks to show them on their member page when they look at the info something like [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] and add more to the root of that ranks permission. That way you dont have to add them per user, but per rank per group.

so in the shortcode for public users they would only have access to 1 and its contents
people in the honda club who are just members would have access to 1, 2(excluding 2-4) and 3, once they get bumped up to admin rank in that group the shortcode to display 2-4 gets added since its connected to rank roles.

In the same breath on the front end of the multisite pages you could just have them display the public forums associated with that niche pulling the data from the forum via [bbp-single-forum id=$id ].

I had a ton of control like this through phpbb using theme styling and domain masking and am trying to find a way to make it work in wordpress but its been a learning curve. I know groups in buddypress have some of this function built in, but it doesn’t seem to be tweak-able between sites. I dont want a guest to see every group in the opt in part of registration off the bat. Would rather have them app on that groups page, members review then they get added and what they see is based on what rank they have in all the groups they are in.

So am i trying to overthink this? Have I missed something that could solve this idea?

Thoughts/Suggestions?

@robin-w W Thanks for the reply.
I have deactivated all the plugins except bbpress and also switch to twentytwelve default theme but still the same issue.

I also tried to changining “Topics per page” by setting different values but interestingly pagination links after page no 12 don’t work and give 404 error.

[Robin W]

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

[Robin W]

what version of bbpress are you using ?

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve just bumped this topic title and links to bbPress 2.6 Release Candidate 3… 🙂

[Kevin Geary]

I’m getting dozens of error emails per day since installing bbpress. I think it has to do with the notification system.

They all say, “There was a temporary problem delivering your message to noreply@academy.rebootedbody.com. Gmail will retry for 44 more hours. You’ll be notified if the delivery fails permanently.”

I can’t figure out why the system is trying to send emails to noreply@academy.rebootedbody.com (academy.rebootedbody.com is our site). But why are notifications being sent to “noreply?”

Any ideas?

Noticed when migrating from 2.5.12 to 2.6 beta 2 (and also in RC1 and RC3), that my custom CSS file in mytheme/css/bbpress.css is no longer being detected.

[Robin W]

the actual hook is quite easy, there are numerous do-action calls within

templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php and form-reply.php

The real issue is getting someone to code the fields, store them in the database, consider the ability for mods etc. to alter them or delete them, and then decide what you want to do with those fields – eg where to display them etc. etc.

[Robin W]

have a play with this

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper {
    width: 200px;
}

answered in the other thread

Both private and public part in one forum

[Robin W]

bbpress is not designed for backend use by ordinary users – the backend is really for administration, so participants don’t get this area.

New topics are shown below the forum list, or by creating a page and using one of the shortcodes

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

or by adding a button, such as in the style pack plugin

bbp style pack

Hi Robin,

well I did it twice. The first thread helping request was deleted from them directly after submission, as they may thought it is a bbpress support issue. The second thread “bbpress search is not working when buddypress is activated” is still waiting to be answered.

I think if you may have a direct contact to buddypress, it would be helpful to point them to the direction for helping to solve this issue too.

Looking forward to your feedback.

BR, Alex

By reading again my previous post, I realized that it may generate confusion when I stated that Participants can not see “New Topics” voice.
The Participants can’t see either the Forum menu and either the Topics (Discussioni) menu

[Renato Gelforte]

I will be happy to solve the back end issue right now.
Anyway the front-end level, at the moment is even worse, keymaster and moderators either, don’t see any way to insert new topics from the forum page.
But, as I stated before, I would be very glad to solve the matter at the back-end level, at first.
Here see from the top bar of the back-end and from Forum Page:

And here see from the dashboard menu:

And here a secial whish:

[Robin W]

mu current understanding is that wp is not in tapatalk, and since bbpress relies on wp, I’d suggest it is not.

[UserCentrix]

No response in nearly 5 days is leaving me rather concerned to use bbPress. Is this the ussual support response-time?

Anyway, I figured out a workaround using a plugin called PHP Code Widget.

The plugin I am using is: https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-code-widget/

An example of one of the codes I am using is:

<?php
$forum_id = get_the_ID();
$forum_add_topic='[bbp-single-topic id ="'.$forum_id.'"]';
echo do_shortcode($forum_add_topic);
?>

Hi All

Just wanted to check if someone could give me an update on the Tapatalk plugin?

I have a WP+bbPress site and had planned to use the current Tapatalk plugin v1.4 for WP and Forums (whatever that means). But it doesn’t seam that easy.

1. There is an existing Tapatalk Plugin (v1.4) that could be installed in WP.
2. Plugin Support forum + google give me the impression that very few are using it.
3. Most search results go back to 2015 and earlier…referring to one WP Plugin plus one bbPress plugin from Tapatalk.
4. I have not managed to connect to the plugin from the Tapatalk Console.
5. Tapatalk support say that WP is not supported at the moment. Unclear why the plugin is still available and if it should work at all.

So, it would be very much appreciated if someone could share a little bit of light on this.

Best

Keymasters and Moderators can do it but for partecipants ther is no way to insert a new topic.
I’ve tryed all ways: changing themes, disactivating plugins, but the problem still not solved.
I’m using WordPress 4.8 with theme RepublicPro, BuddyPress 2.8.2, bbPress 2.5.12
The site is inpressioni.it
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

I am trying out bbpress and just created a forum. After creating a couple of categories and forums within them; I noticed that the font for the forum list seems a bit small. How can I adjust the size of the font?

Below is a link with a screenshot, I wish to change the size of the “News & Announcements” part.

Thanks in advance,

I have a membership site which I am using bb press and BuddyPress

I am using the kleo theme
WordPress version 4.8

I have had an issue with replying to posts in from the forum on my dashboard

I have a section on my dashboard where I pull replies and new topics from the forum using the kleo posts.
I can view the posts and click into and read but I cannot reply from there and I need to go into the post in the forum and reply there

Does anyone have a fix

Thanks

Sorry for the long winded rambling

[kariellen35]

I would really like to create forums for my website, however, I don’t have this option:

A. Set Up Sitewide Forums only

Install and activate bbPress.
Proceed to bbPress.org Codex to get started in creating your Sitewide Forums.
If you kept the default “forums” slug in Settings > Forums, you can create a new Page via Pages > Add New. Add Title “Forums” and insert the forums index shortcode and/or other bbPress shortcode you’ll find in the bbPress Codex then publish the new page.
Add new “Forums” Page in your custom menu via Appearances > Menu

Can someone please tell me what I am missing?

Thank you so much for your time!!

Take care,
Kari

Hello Robin W,

I was reading this post and I am looking for this feature.
I have a bbpress forum where I would like where we are in a forum each user can only see his topic.
I am using bbpress like a customer support and when a user post a topic in “private” mode, I would like he’s the only one user he can see the topic with another group like moderator or other (defined in Bbpress Private Group).

Could you tell me if it’s possible to do this with your plugin?

Best Regards,

[arn2k17]

My bbpress Api not working. Why..?
it happens to me..?

[Robin W]

knowing nothing about NeonCRM, I would have no idea, and suspect you will struggle to get an answer to this. bbpress uses custom post types, but otherwise is wordpress, so the answer should be the same as it would be for a wordpress post if that helps.
