Hi all,
Just to keep you informed (I forgot to post the link here before) that some people already provided input on the bbpress API version that is on https://github.com/ePascalC/bbp-API/
It’s setup in a different way, but if anyone wants to help building/proposing things on that one, feel free. I hope in the end both will serve to come to a final bbPress integrated API.
Pascal.

Installed bbPress Beta 2.6 Beta 2 and works fine on php 7.0.19. Whooohoooo!!!

I’m starting development of my bbPress mobile app. I have noticed that buddyPress has an RSS feed for latest member activity, which also has bbPress posts. One could utilize that, but it is very limited and shows multiple duplicates of the same post if a user edits.

ok, so this is a search function – yes?

If so, look at this code that I use with my private groups plugin to filter search results and see if you can make this work for you

//this function filters to the bbp search function to allow only returns from allowed forums

function pg_has_search_results( $args = '' ) {
	
	global $wp_rewrite;
//start with code as per bbp search !

Hello @robin-w,

If I’m not mistaken, doesn’t this come with bbPress by default? Not sure what template it is actually in right now, but if you open up a single forum, you should see it. For example this URL.

Plugins

Thanks.

[scrawny]

Thanks Robin. I’ll do that when bbPress has been updated for php 7.1

[Alex Stine]

Hello @robin-w,

I’m not using a default bbPress function to hide the topics. I’m using a custom plugin to handle the hiding of topics so members who are participants have a choice if they want the topic to be public to all members or private to moderators and keymasters. As you can see with the code above, that excludes the custom private topics from search results. Now what I need to do is update the pagination counts.

For example, there’s a topic named “Testing” and another topic named “test123”. Pagination will show 2 topics. If “testing” is now marked private, pagination will show 2 topics. I need to figure out a way to update the pagination so it only shows 1 topic since that’s all is showing to participants. However if a moderator comes along with the required permission to view a private topic, the pagination should still show 2 topics since the moderator has permission to see the private topic.

I hope this helps explain my goal.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

Suspect you are using php 7.1
3 fixes
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

[Robin W]

wp_bp is buddypress

bbpress uses custom post types for forums, topics and replies, and various ‘options’ settings, then of course users have meta data.

Quickest way would be to re-install and reactivate bbpress then use that to delete as above and then remove bbpress again. Much better than messing with sql tables

[scrawny]

That would work if I had bbPress installed. I had deleted it because it wouldn’t run on php7.1 or php7.0.19

I’ll have to use phpmyadmin. Are wp_bp files all related to bbPress?

Or does wp_bp refer to BuddyPress?

If wp_bp refers to BuddyPress what bbPress files should I remove from mySQL?

Hi when i want to check my forums i get this erreur

I’ve got 7 forums all named the same due to an issue mentioned in another post.

How do I remove all bbPress files from the mySQL database before installing bbPress again once it’s ready for PHP7.1?

Is there a plugin which will do this?

I’m running latest WordPress with php 7.0.19 and mySQL 5.6.35.

[scrawny]

I installed phpBB and it worked fine, but I wanted something like the Ad Inserter plugin I’m using on WP and couldn’t find anything suitable.

phpBB is a good forum program with lots of good extensions. I’m hoping bbPress will ‘soon’ be updated to function properly with php 7.0.19 and 7.1.

In the meantime I’ve got to post another question elsewhere on how to cleanup the mysql database and get rid of the 7 forums I created using bbPress earlier – all forums named the same because none of them ever appeared as a forum in the listings or appeared anywhere except as a listing on my sidebar- so when I do try bbPress again I won’t endup with a mess of forums all named the same.

[scrawny]

My php is 7.0.19 and bbPress produces blank page errors mentioned above.

[ilovemetrics]

Hi,

Hate to be a bother, and I can imagine you get a million questions, but this is the only thing holding me back from launching a site I’ve been working on for 9 months, so I’m pulling my hair out over here. Any help would be appreciated. It seems like no one has been able to solve for this, given my extensive Googling on the subject.

Yoast and any other SEO plugins aren’t compatible and just output blank, so that is not an option. Is there any way at all to access the topic title to add to the page title on bbPress topic pages?

Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

You shouldn’t need to do any of the above, setting your WordPress install to use German as the default language should automatically download bbPress’ translations.

p.s. If you’re using the method above for a different reason, uploading them to wp-content/languages/bbpress instead of wp-content/languages/buddypress would be the answer 😉

[jeazyee]

Same problem on my page also using PHP 7.1 latest version of bbPress and SSL with valid certificate and also use forced SSL over cloudflare hope there will be a fix soon.

EDIT: Downgrading to PHP 7.0 will solve the problem for now, but anyway I hope PHP 7.1 support will be there soon.

Thanks

I have ElasticPress and working for WordPress but not for bbpress. What do I need to do to get it working?

[blueshiningstar]

Thank you Robin !

I tried to reload the css, but no change.

I tried to change other settings:
Forums index styling is working. I changed the size of “3. Forum Headings Font”.

“Topic/Reply Styling – 5. Topic/Reply Date Font” doesn’t work.

So,“Topic/Reply Styling” doesn’t work.

I doubt below plugin.
“bbPress – Sort topic replies1.0.3”

[wci]

Dear support team,

please help to solve the issue, while buddypress is active then bbpress search results are not displayed as it should, because the URL is then forward to main page instead of display the search results.

Hello,

I run a very large community (ca. 3 Mio posts, 60k users) and using over 17 years Woltlab as community software. Basically, my community is a forum / discussion board, but also has a magazine, gallery and a marketplace.

As I work for many years with WordPress on other projects, I really like the pros in using an open system. Thats the total opposite of a software like WBB from Woltlab, and its getting worser and worser.

So, I really think its time for changing the system and that finally 😉 brings me to my questions:

1. There is no direct importer for Woltlab, right? As far as I read you must transfer the data to phpbb and then there is an importer phpbb >> bbpress, right?

2. How is the performance if you are running a very large community?

3. I watched a few sites that uses bbpress, but they only give me little impressions how the functionality of the software is. Is there a documentation on how the moderation works / what functions exists?

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Andreas
