This is both feedback and a request.

I’m working on simplifying the UI of a Commmons In A Box site, which means I’m working with both BuddyPress and bbPress. While working on the group/forum page, I found that the forum title is hard coded as a simple h3 with no selectors into wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/groups.php at line 767. This is just before the content-single-forum template call.

My request is that the forum title be moved from groups.php and into content-single-forum.php where it can be customized through the normal child theme process. Let me know if there is a better place than here to file this as an issue.

Thanks!

When users Register, they are not given a role in the bbPress form. It remains blank and I have to assign it manually.

I have turned on the feature to “Automatically give registered visitors the [Participant] role”

Hi,

Just wanted to share a newly released plugin available called bbPress User Ranks and it allows you to create user ranks, star ranks, RPG ranks, user badges and month badges which display on forums and user profiles. It also has widgets and shortcodes.

You can view all the features and screenshots here:

http://pre55.com/downloads/bbpress-user-ranks/

You see the free lite version here:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-user-ranks-lite/

The plugin was created as I had been using the brilliant bbp user ranks plugin created by Robin W and although this worked great for what I initially wanted I eventually needed something a little more custom.

I have therefore built my plugin from scratch incorporating lots of great features I think will increase engagement for any bbPress forum.

Let me know what you guys think, if you have any suggestions please let me know.

[newz12]

@robin-w I’m just seeking help to get a better TTFB… there must be a way around and the developers of BBpress should know better than someone else I can hire.

[forums1234]

Thank you! bbp style pack is a wonderful app. I’d previously downloaded it and styled my forum with it. It performed beautifully.

What I’m looking to accomplish is one navigation option only, “Previous Page,” or “Back.” I know that flies in the face of what is bbPress, but it’s vital to my interests. Is that even possible?

Thank you in advance.

Hello, dear!
Can you help me with seo question? If anyone creat any topic, how can i do the seo title to be created automatically from the title of the topic and seo description from the content of the topic?

Thank you for any answere..

[Robin W]

not quite sure what you are expecting as a reply – the guy you paid answered your question.

Basically he is telling me that we won’t be able to achieve good loading time, because it is running on WordPress and the database design is a problem.

bbpress runs on wordpress, and as wordpress is running on 74 million websites, I suspect that the database won’t be migrated away from mysql anytime soon.

[Robin W]

you are telling me that this was working, and now it is not.

If you have changed bbpress version, then revert to the previous, but I strongly suspect that this not the case.

Otherwise you have changed something, either in a theme version, a wordpress setting, a page settings, a template, a theme setting, a plugin update or something else such as a php version, a server setting etc, etc. etc.

I cannot possibly guess at what you have changed, so I cannot see how to help.

Can you tell me that on bbpress we cant see the heading on the detail page?
The title which is display on the forum listing that i want on the detail page. My client complaint me that “I am not seeing heading of the discussion in the Traders forum”

Hi,

I need help with migrating forums from the xoops system (xoops.org). The forum is based on the “newbb” module very similar to “phpbb”. I tried alone using available converters in bbpress package but unfortunately it only moves forum categories. Will there be a willing person to help with this?

Regards, Michal and sorry for my english 😉

[torbjorn96]

I tried your suggestion and switched back and fourth the permalinks settings, but to no sucess. Then i tried changing the PHP version from 7.1 to 7.0 and now it’s working…

Does anyone know if BBPress simply don’t support 7.1?

[mariekekarssen]

I have communicated and struggled with this issue for weeks now with Woocommerce, but after much trial and error this is the short version:

I have a website with woocommerce/woocommercemembership and subscriptions. The subscribed members automatically also have a buddypress profile and access to bbpres forums. Non subscribed people can look at the forums, but you have to be a member to participate.

This works great on the subscribing side, a little less great but managable on the buddypress side, because cancelled orders still get a profile, but that’s an admin job of once a week, but.. i really have an issue with bbpress, because the membership plugin is able to create also other membership privileges and content and that does not work if the member has a forum role of participant. If i make every member a moderator (would not know how to do that automatically by the way) then all membershipplugin functionality works great. Can anyone help me here? Woocommerce is searching too.

[howlinghunter]

Ok. Tried something else. I activated the bbpress plugin on a new site that is hosted on a remote server and there is now a Forums option on the Menu Appearance page. It’s either this or a registration issue.

[mktunicus]

Hi Robin,

But previously we were able to view the Title of the forum, but how come it happen like this. On your bbpress forum you are able to view the title. I contact with my theme support they told me to contact you because of its the bbpress issue. In fact when the user check the notify me checkbox the user not getting any mail.

Please do the needful at the earliest

[howlinghunter]

Sorry I don’t have a link as I’m working on it locally. I have done some screen shots but have no where to post them at the moment. Will try and describe it better.

So if you load up the site you would see the following menu items along the top:

Home | Manuals | Blog | Forums | Contact Us | Log In | List Your Password | Join Us

If you put your mouse over the Forums link you would see:

Home | Manuals | Blog | Forums | Contact Us | Log In | List Your Password | Join Us
Apple
Android
Microsoft
Apps & Software
Gadgets & Stuff

These are the forums that were there when I activated the bbpress plugin and are part of the Avada demo site. The ones that I have created aren’t listed.

If I click Forums and go to the Forums landing page I see the forums I created and the demo ones.

So if I then go into the Menu appearance page I can see the demo forums listed under the Menu Structure section. I can’t see how they were added. There is nothing under Pages, Posts, Custom Links or Categories, which means I can’t even back track to see how it was done. As I mentioned before, even if I remove a forum entry from under Menu Structure section nothing then appears on the left so I can re-add it.

Does that make more sense?

[Robin W]

use the plugin GD bbpress attachments for files.

[reedy]

@bullarni No, this hasn’t been resolved (I’m running the latest stable version of bbpress). I have not tried implementing the patches since they are so old.

[bullarni]

Hi,
I am seeing this exact same issue on a forum I use and it’s pretty annoying. The worst part being redirected back to the start every time a reply is posted. The same issue is also present in the thread links that are included in the notification emails sent to participants subscribed to the thread.

@reedy have you resolved your issue yet? Have the patches mentioned above that apparently resolve the issue been incorporated into a stable release version yet?

Note: as mentioned in this issue, only topics with a large amount of replies is affected by the bug. In our case we have one topic with over 950 pages and one with over 740 pages so this issue has been affecting the two most popular topics for quite a while now.

I am just a user so don’t have any knowledge of what version of bbPress they are currently running but I would like to help them resolve the issue. If the fix is included in a release version I believe it will be much easier to help them update than trying to explain how to apply the proposed patches.

Cheers

Hi,

I’m using an Avada theme and I’m having problems with adding my own forums to the Forum menu dropdown. The theme has a handful of forums set up, so that when bbpress is activated they appear in the forums section.

The problem I’m having is I want to add my own forums and have them appear in the dropdown list, but I can’t see how this is done.

Creating forums is fine, as well as adding a master forum and adding sub forums to it is ok. When I go to the main Menu and try to add them there I can’t see them listed. I have no idea how they get added.

I’ve tried deleting a couple of the sample forums to see what happens and to see if I can work it out. No go. They disappear from the dropdown list and are greyed out when I go to the main Menu. I removed a forum from the Menu list to see if it appeared on the left hand side, nothing.

Am I missing something obvious here?

[Robin W]

seems like that will be fixed in bbpress 2.6

so 3 fixes

1. downgrade to a lesser version of php
2. upgrade to bbpress 2.6beta-2
3. in bbpress 2.5.12 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]

oh, and I presume you mean you are running bbpress 2.5.12 not 2.5.2

[Robin W]

seems php 7.1 has issues with a lot of plugins, 2 mentioned here

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-7-0-14-to-7-1-1-operator-not-supported-for-strings/

and a bbpress trac ticket

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2987

I’m running php 7.0.17 with no issues

[forums1234]

Is it possible to customize the menu in forum and topic pages to delete the breadcrumbs altogether and only have a “Back” button option?

Wordpress Version – 4.7.4
bbpress – Version 2.5.12

Be Forbes Art Forum

[blasterspike]

Unfortunately I haven’t found a solution.
I still think that due to

Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.

the converter should have saved the database information to read phpbb_users somewhere but it hasn’t, that’s way I’m getting the “Error establishing a database connection”.
Which I think is somehow related to
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1886

At this point I will ask my users to reset their password.
During my tests, I have also discovered that even if you reset your password, you are still getting the “Error establishing a database connection” error for migrated user and to “skip” it, you have to rename/delete the table “wp_bbp_converter_translator”.

Hi,
I browsed through your forum to find out if there was a solution to my problem but didn’t find any suitable answer.

My website for the forum-section is : http://cdf-lardy.fr/forums which results in a blank screen. In the back-office, i can simply create new forums but cannot access the “forums” or “All forums”-view, giving the same blank screen.

Version :
WP : 4.7.4
bbPress : 2.5.2
PHP version is 7.1

All other plugins are updated, i tried to disable them all, no changes.

I enabled debug function and got following message :

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /customers/4/9/2/cdf-lardy.fr/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1800 Stack trace: #0 /customers/4/9/2/cdf-lardy.fr/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query)) #1 /customers/4/9/2/cdf-lardy.fr/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array) #2 /customers/4/9/2/cdf-lardy.fr/httpd.www/wp-includes/plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /customers/4/9/2/cdf-lardy.fr/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(1681): do_action_ref_array(‘pre_get_posts’, Array) #4 /customers/4/9/2/cdf-lardy.fr/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(3238): WP_Query->get_posts() #5 /customers/4/9/2/cdf-lardy.fr/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp.php(617): WP_Query->query(Array) #6 /customers/4/9/2/cdf-lardy.fr/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp.php(735): WP->query_posts() #7 /customers/4/9/2/cdf-lardy.fr/httpd.www/wp-includes/functions.php(955): WP->mai in /customers/4/9/2/cdf-lardy.fr/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on line 1800

Does anyone have a clue ?

Many thanks in advance
