Significant Problem:

Every few days, some Sub-Forums stop displaying!  This seems to happen after a new topic is added.  I’m not sure when this problem started.  Currently, the “HIKING” sub-forums do not display.  Sometimes I can get this issue to reset by changing the Sub-Forums Visibility setting to “Public” and then back to “Private”.  I clear browser histories and resave Permalinks.  But this is a temporary solution.  With my limited knowledge, I’ve spent many many hours trying to pinpoint the cause and resolve this.  I now set up a test copy site, that is using the WP 2022 theme with only 2 plugins: a page builder and bbPress.  And there are no bbPress scripts in the Function.php file.  The problem still persists.  Any assistance would be very greatly appreciated!  Testing site: https://staging39.wilmingtontrailclub.org/bbpress-forum-test/

No, GD bbPress Toolbox Pro is a complex plugin with 50+ major features, and many are sharing the code and other things.

[Milan Petrovic]

For trully active tracking of what any user has read, and display various flags about it, my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has Activity Tracking and Online Tracking features: https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/

[sunshineday77]

Is there some way to set up bbPress so that when users log in, there is some indications of which posts are new/unread since the last time they visited? Thanks!

[Milan Petrovic]

This is hardcoded in bbPress, the only way to change it, is to override the template and make the changes.

Hello,
I’m in need of a little help.

Forum

I am struggeling with getting my forum to full width.
My theme supports full width with an own template.
I added a new site and added the bbpress [bbp-forum-index] code.
The main site is full width.
But when I open a category or forum it switches back to the oder template.
I’m not good enough at css and stuff to fix it myself.
Hope someone can help me!
Regards,

Jens

First post of topics disappeared!

[ASR Martins]

Hi there,
Recently I have noticed that all bbPress forum topics are not showing, even though the forum is set to “public”.
All replies show but all topics can only be read in the WP back-end. So nobody can read any topics.
Can somebody please help?
I have deactivated all other plugins and I have used different themes, including twenty-twenty-three, but nothing helped.
I am using WordPress 6.3.1 and bbPress 2.6.9
Website: https://www.asrmartins.com/new-forum-topics/
Thanks

[Robin W]

so to answer (or not!) your questions

by default the forum page is /forums you can amend this by changing the slug in dashboard>settings>forums or by using a page with a shortcode – see

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

No idea what ‘ Hearthpwn’s deck builder to query Hearthstone’s card API ‘ means so cannot answer, but in terms of customization, then try this additional plugin, which has a ton of customizations in it.

bbp style pack

bbpress just uses the WordPress user account, and there is no way to detach this. But bbpress has a whole set of roles of it’s own, so if you set the user WordPress role to ‘no role for this site’, you pretty much achieve the same thing.

[severalfeet]

Hi all, hope you’re doing well – this isn’t a request for help but more some clarity on some questions I have.

I have a website designed entirely with Oxygen builder. I want to create a new page, something like coolsite.com/forum which would be the homepage for the forum – coolsite.com/otherpage will not be part of the forum and will be considered a different silo.

I’m thinking of making something similar to Hearthpwn’s deck builder to query Hearthstone’s card API and was wondering how feasible this is. Does bbPress have that degree of customization?

Also, I’d really like users to be able to sign up for users which aren’t attached to WordPress – is there a way to do that with bbPress? So instead of using WordPress account manager, I can have control of it or another plugin maybe?

[sarkarify]

Hello Guys,

I got the solution of this issue, follow the steps:

1. Backup your whole wordpress account if something goes wrong.
3. Install and/or activate the bbPress plugin again if you have deactivated and/or delete it.
4. In WordPress administration panel, go to Tools -> Forums -> Reset Forums tab.
5. Check the delete imported users and Are you sure you want to do this? checkbox to acknowledge that the removal process cannot be undone.

6. Then click on reset bbpress button

and done the process will remove all the data of the bpress.

Hi,
Thank you so much,
I am testing the forum, I filled the login and I found it’s not enough,
Because I want the users who must to fill register( with a E mail to confirm),
after having registered, it will be redirect to the profile page, so the users will fill the profile,
after that, he could use the forum,
So how can I do ? the bbpress login is too simple and cannot do that.
Thanks a lot !

[ibnat]

In wordpress new post or page the youtube embed works every time. In bbpress new topic or reply it works sometimes and sometimes not (mostly not)… I am actually starting to think its a browser issue rather than wp, tinymce or bbpress.

[getfree]

Hi all, and thanks to Robin for an amazing software!

I am creating a forum for poker but I just can’t find a way to get the hand histories converted. There are a bunch of converters online but bbPress just doesn’t seem to show the converted histories in a human friendly format.

This is how a hand history should look like more or less https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/69/online-no-limit-holdem-cash/nl50-not-best-flops-aa-4-bet-pot-facing-2x-overbet-shove-1826479/

Depending on the type of conversion I choose, my hand histories on bbPress look like this (TwoplusTwo format):
[converted_hand][hand_history]PokerStars – €1 PL Hi FAST (6 max) – Omaha Hi – 4 players

[url=”http://www.holdemmanager.com”%5DHand converted by Holdem Manager 3[/url]
[b]Hero (BTN): €128.03 (128 bb)
[/b]SB: €25.52 (25.5 bb)
[color=”grey”]BB: €172.01 (172 bb)
[/color][color=”grey”]CO: €26.21 (26.2 bb)
[/color]
SB posts €0.50, BB posts €1.00
[b]Pre Flop:[/b] [i](pot: €1.50)[/i] [b]Hero has[/b] 6:club: A:club: 6:spade: 5:diamond:
fold, [color=”red”][b]Hero[/b] raises to €2.00[/color], SB calls €1.50, fold

OR like this (HTML)
PokerStars – €1 PL Hi FAST (6 max) – Omaha Hi – 4 players<br/>Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3<br/><br/>Hero (BTN): €128.03 (128 bb)<br/>SB: €25.52 (25.5 bb)<br/><span style=”color: #666666;”>BB: €172.01 (172 bb)<br/></span><span style=”color: #666666;”>CO: €26.21 (26.2 bb)<br/></span><br/>SB posts €0.50, BB posts €1.00<br/><br/>Pre Flop: <span style=”font-style: italic;”>(pot: €1.50)</span> Hero has 6

So what to do? Obviously for a poker forum the hand conversion is crucial and I haven’t been able to find a solution elsewhere..

Thanks for the help guys!

WP version 6.3.1
bbPress 2.6.9
Theme: Hello (Im using Elementor Pro for building the site)

[ibnat]

I was just hoping that the blocks everywhere plugin would help me fix the issue I have with embedding video into forum posts which I think is something to do with TinyMCE: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/youtube-links-not-embedding-in-forum-posts/

I get what you mean, though, about the general user having issues with the block editor. I am still getting used to it and ran on the legacy editor for over a year before I made the leap! 🙂

Hi,
I have setup a forum in using bbpress,
forum name is travel, now I want to place this forum on my page in using the shortcode [bbp-forum-form] , but my travel forum didn’t display on the site,
How can I do it to modify that ?
Thank you very much!

[Ricsca2]

On wordpress.org bbpress has various updates to this that we can download such as the gutemberg modules

[Robin W]

thanks

search should just look at the forums, but other elements such as themes or other plugins can change that.

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

the appearance>widgets that you showed are not widgets but sidebars that contain widgets – there is no bbpress sidebar.

[thxwp]

Hi,

This is the example that when a specific keyword is searched for in the bbpress search form, it searches across all pages on the site.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EYkLz82XYD86vsD9hhyM311blcNQ9wzh/view?usp=sharing

and I cannot find the bbpress widget on Appearance -> Widgets

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EYwCZvkd7GZbqPbFnF3ZbGVG0bnRS2UF/view?usp=sharing

FYI I am using a freeio theme (https://themeforest.net/item/freeio-freelance-marketplace-wordpress-theme/42045416)

Plese check them and let me know how to solve them.
Thank you

[Ronny Kreuzberg]

I have WP, bbPress, WPML up to date and in default language all topics show up in the topic archive but in translated languages Topics, that have a parent Forum don’t show up in there. They only appear if there is no forum set.

[chunming0920]

Hello Robin,thx a lot,finally i solve the problem

However,i have a new problem now,how to show bbpress at my first page?—> http://www.savemental.com

thx for ur reply!

[ibnat]

Was there any progress on this?

I have a similar issue where even youtube videos wont embed in forum posts. Just the link to you tube is published. I have a seperate topic here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/youtube-links-not-embedding-in-forum-posts/

[moretta69]

SUBJECT: Website Issue: http://www.martiniformazione.it/sito; WordPress Version 6.3.1 – BBpress Version: 2.6.9. When users register and generate their password, they are unable to log in afterward. They consistently receive an error message stating that the password is incorrect. Even when following the password reset procedure and receiving the link to generate a new password, after creating a new password and attempting to log in, they still encounter the same error message that the password is incorrect. However, if I, as the site administrator, go to the ‘Users’ section and select ‘Generate New Password,’ the password generated in this way works and allows access. Where do you think the problem lies? Thank you very much for all the invaluable support you can provide as soon as possibl

[Robin W]

When a specific keyword is searched for in the search form, it searches across all pages on the site. How can I set it up so that it only searches within the forum?

is this the forum search widget – if so link to a live example please

Also, the widget for bbPress is not visible in the widget area. How can I set it up to be visible?

Widgets

please explain which widget you mean
