Hi @hadesteam,

I’m currently building a converter from google groups to bbPress. When I finish that one I might have a look to help you. Can you drop me an email so we keep in touch. You can find my email on http://casier.eu/wp-dev/

Thanks.

Hi @col_blimp,

Not sure why you want to do this, because it will depend if the site where the picture is, is listening to https or not.

But if you look for a hook, it might be this one: http://hookr.io/plugins/bbpress/2.5.9/filters/bbp_edit_topic_pre_insert/

Hi @fabianno0572,

The best way to put extra functions is in a functions.php in a child theme.

Some is explained here: https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @sallyruchman,

There is a standard widget for bbPress, you can find info here: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/widgets/

You could also check this page https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#21-show-5-recent-topics-after-forum-index and e.g. topic 21 or so for different ideas.

Pascal.

Hi @stefaanc,

In basic bbPress you won’t find this, but maybe with a combination of plugins or some short coding, you should be able to achieve this.

Just some thoughts, do you see a different forum per question, then topics would be what students answer and then eventually replies could be give to the specific topic (answers) ?
Or would your questions be topics in one or the other forum and then the answers would be replies ?

[Pascal Casier]

@dominikb-1,

Did you read till the end of the codex page ?

Custom Capabilities

[Robin W]

the code

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

in most themes should work fine. the wp-footer part was specific to the other poster.

The code goes in your child theme’s functions file

Hello I am interested in setting up bbpress but I already have a forum software that is using the page named Forums. Is this going to cause problems or can I set the default page to use as a different page? Say Forum instead?

[paperprofit]

Thank you for that suggestion. I will try that.
I do have another site created in Tesseract that have no Wishlist member or bbpress at this time. I will create a BBpress forum there and see what I get. Your suggestions are much appreciated.

I have contacted Wishlist as well, in case they know of any issues.

[paperprofit]

Ironcally, it is the newly created Topics and Replies that are not showing up. I will try reinstalling BBPress, and continue to leave Wishlist out of the equation. I will report back.
Is it not possible that the problem has to do with my Theme?
Thanks for your patients, Robin.

Hi!, I need to do this in my wordpress. I’ver already installed rpb-chessboard and bbpress-do-short-codes plugins, but i don’t know where i have to call function
add_filter (‘pw_bbp_parse_shortcodes_cap’ , ‘publish_topics’ ) ;

When I active bb-press-do-shot-codes [pgn] and [fen] sections were disappeard.

Thanks!

[Robin W]

ok, sorry I don’t know much about MU and bbpress functions, so can’t say if that would work

[paperprofit]

It seemed for a moment that the problem was fixed. I now see the original “topic” entry, but when I added few replies, I cannot see them, unless I log in as admin.

I had installed the bbpress style pack, and deactivated it to see if that fixed the problem. It did not.

[Robin W]

could be lots of things, but try

bbpress wp4 fix

and/or

bbpress wp4 fix2

I am looking for a WordPress forum plugin for an educational environment, and came across bbPress. It has many promising features, but there is one essential feature I need for which I cannot find confirmation in the documentation whether it is available in bbPress. This is it:

When a user (student) posts for the first time to a forum — typically in answer to the question related to that specific forum — I want they cannot read the available forum posts until they have submitted their first post: I see nothing/I submit my first post/now I see all other posts.

This is a ‘trick’ often used in educational settings, because it stimulates every student to think about the question from scratch, unbiased by the previous answers. Such an approach stimulates a larger diversity of answers.

Is such a tool available in bbpress?

Thanks for your insight!

I have to update this thread.
After the Nth time that I was uninstalling/installing bbPress 2.6 beta 2 to do a test with a new import, this time it’s just giving me a wrong password error while I’m 100% sure of the password as I have done a copy/paste from the old phpBB forum.

[paperprofit]

I have a forum that I wanted to protect for my members only. I have Wishlist-member installed and activated, but bbpress topics and replies seem erratic when I try the protection. So I removed all protections to make sure that the issue is not with bbPress or even my Theme (Tesseract).

What I found out is that even with my protections all off, bbPress is not diplaying my Topic, only the replies to them. I have 3 topics. Is there a way you could help? Here are the topics:

Market Commentary

Theta Gain / Losses

PCCRC to Genie

Incidentally, when I am logged in as admin, I do see the original posts (topic).

Hi Pascal, thanks to your advice, I managed to do exactly what I was trying to: an integration between a new application based on Custom Post Type (for games registration for a RPG club in Brussels) and integration with our bbPress Forum (I can show you if interested). One thing I could not achieve is changing the post date/time in order to “Up” the messages that are updated through the integration. I’ve tried updating Post_date, Post_Modified but without any luck. It also need to update the right column with Last Message Date displayed. any recommendation where to look into?
Thanks !

Hi Pascal,
a freelancer has builded a plug-in for me which works fine. I will send it to you by email. Perhaps you can use it for your bbPress Toolkit.

Regards
Jörg

Thanks for the detailed explanation @tweichart 🙂

This has been fixed for the upcoming bbPress 2.6

It was fixed via https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6113

Hey guys,

just stumbled over a small 500 error in the functions file:

AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1854
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query))
#1 /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array)

#5 /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(3347): WP_Query->query(Array)
#6 /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/wp-conten...

Should be fixeable, ln 1850-1854 is in the bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility function and looks like this:

// Get any existing meta queries
$meta_query   = $posts_query->get( 'meta_query' );

// Add our meta query to existing
$meta_query[] = $forum_ids;

adding an array check to ln 1850 should suffice (i do actually not know what one’s trying to achieve here, so this is just a quickfix):

$meta_query   = is_array( $posts_query->get( 'meta_query' ) ) ? $posts_query->get( 'meta_query' ) : array( $posts_query->get( 'meta_query' ) );

side-note: wp version 4.7.3, bbpress version 2.5.12, php version 7.1.3

Cheers,
Toby

As soon as I renamed the post_name for the hardware image from “hardware” to “hardware-attachment” in wp_posts, I was able to use “hardware” as the forum slug in bbpress.

I found a filter that automatically adds “-attachment” to file slugs, so that file pages don’t automatically reserve slugs.

Really silly that it can happen though.

[Robin W]

ok, two things

1. what does not working mean ?
2. html is included because that’s what you put in your thread as what you wanted !

Now I trying to change args of bbp_get_reply_admin_links (stored in bbpress/includes/replies/template.php)
Thats my hook
function hw_get_reply_admin_links ($args) {
$args = array (
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”list”>’,
‘after’ => ‘</div>’,
);
return $args;
}
add_filter (‘bbp_get_reply_admin_links’, ‘hw_get_reply_admin_links’ );
What’s wrong here?

[mareczek1235]

Hello,

I want to share my experience and some troubleshooting steps that I have to learn from bbPress so can you suggest me that can I upload the post on your forum or not.
