@guybrushpixelwood – thanks for posting this, that is really useful.

Howevber it will get overridden by bbpress updates, so either have that file in a bbpress folder in your child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

or put this function in your child theme’s functions file

add-action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links' , 'gbpw_add_ratings' ) ;

function gbpw_add_ratings () {
	if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { 
		echo '<span class="bbp-admin-links">' ;
		the_ratings(); 
		echo '</span>' ;
	}
}

Hi, I want to migrate from xenForo bbPress, as wordpress settings – Forum – matter, I enter the xenForo databases but in the end gives me the seguante message:

Repair any missing information: Continue
Errore sul database di WordPress: [Table ‘clubcuor_xf.xfpost’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(post.post_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS post_id,convert(post.thread_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS thread_id,convert(post.user_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_id,convert(thread.title USING “utf8mb4”) AS title,convert(post.message USING “utf8mb4”) AS message,convert(post.post_date USING “utf8mb4”) AS post_date FROM xfpost AS post LEFT JOIN xfthread AS thread USING (thread_id) WHERE thread.first_post_id != post.post_id LIMIT 0, 100

Hi,
the ‘locks up’ makes it still extremely difficult for us to troubleshoot…
What version of WP and bbPress ?
What errors do you get ?
If you run with a provider, did you ask statistics about network, database usage ? Or you have a backend where you can see that for yourself ?

[Robin W]

hmmm….you can add lots of css to lots of stuff. suspect you’d need to invest some time in sau adding firebug for firefox and using that to examine and change css elements.

This may also help

bbPress Styling Crib

[guybrushpixelwood]

If somebody stumble upon the same problem here is a solution to get Wp PostRatings Plugin Stars into bbpress topics:

wp-content/plugins/bbress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php <–

Search for the line

<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

and place this under it:

<span class="bbp-admin-links">
		<?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
 </span>

WP Version : 4.73
BBPress Version : 2.5.12

Hi,

I got an issue which start to make me crazy…

I moved to another shared hosting company and since I did that, my users can’t see the Edit buttn anymore :

Moderators and administrators have no problems at all, they see correctly all the moderation tools.

And if a simple user want to edit his post, it’s possible by reaching the link http://mysite.com/forum/topic/edit/ so the rights are correct.

It is now 1 week I’m working on it, s let me try to list what I’ve already done :

– Disabled all plugins / themes : NOK
– Started a fresh version of WP + BBPress : OK
– Linked my current DB to the fresh install : NOK

So I started to think about something strange into the DB, which I can’t find.

I mounted a local version of my site on Wamp too and found another interesting thing, If I run it with PHP 5.6, the EDIT button don’t appear and if I switch t PHP 7, miracle, it shows up!!

BUT

If I switch between all the php versions available (php 5.3 to 7.1) on my new hosting : the edit button is still invisible.….

AND

If I switch php 5.6 to PHP 7 on my old hosting : the edit button disapear….

I really need help, I’m lost and my users are getting very annoyed with this issue.

Thanks in advance for your support!

given that wordpress uses bbpress, suspect loads more than 50 !

care to define what ‘the forum crashes’ actually means ?

[gbxdigital]

Hello BBpress

When we have 50+ users online at any one time the forum crashes, what can be done?
How many users can bbpress handle at once?

Hello all,

I ma trying to change just the page title for the Forums archive but not finding anything that is current and works.

Is there possibly a modern day version of @lynq ‘s code that works with WP 4.7.3 and bbpress 2.5.12?
Or am I doing something wrong?

I’ve tried it and other variations gleaned from other posts like these:

functions.php
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_forum_archive_title’, ‘ddw_bbpress_change_forum_archive_title’ );
function ddw_bbpress_change_forum_archive_title() {
return ‘Your Forums Archive Title Here’;

and

single.php
<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
<h1 class=”entry-title”></h1>
<?php } else if (get_post_type() == ‘forum’) { ?>
<h1 class=”entry-title”>Forum Title</h1>
<?php } else { ?>
<h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php } ?>

The functions.php breaks WP and the single.php or forums.php does nothing.

Any pointers would be great,

Thanks

Hi @thebrandonallen,

What version of bbPress are you actually running? 2.6a
Are you running any plugins that make use of new features and functions of 2.6? I don’t know, I am using buddypress and a bunch of other plugins which I don’t think use ay bbpress functionality
Have you made any customizations to your theme that make use of new features and functions of 2.6? yes I did, but it’s more about styles and elements visibility

Thanks

[giobby]

Hi John,

I am realising now my post it’s not really useful considering the way I wrote it and I should have thought twice before publishing it. In fact I may have given the wrong impression. Let me elaborate….

Basically my users are facing some issue in terms of sudden disconnections/logouts and phantom posts (e.g. they create posts and forums and then they “lose” them or they cannot find them anymore).

I have never faced these issues myself, but it’s also true I don’t access my forum often.
Also, considering that I am using other plugins, I cannot be sure bbPress is actually the main reason behind the issues.

What I can tell you for sure as a general feedback is that since I’ve moved to bbPRess from phpBB the forum has suddenly died and users are pushing me to roll back to phpBB as they don’t find bbPress as user friendly.

2.6a has been there for a while and I am wondering when a stable version will be available and what new functionalities will be available.

Meanwhile, what do you suggest to make my users happy?
I am tempted to rollback to phpBB but I am also aware the resulting user experience would be quite disconnected.

Any idea on how could I make bbPress more PHPBB-Like?

Thanks,

Gio

I am also anxious to learn how to do this. I’d settle for learning how to customize the default bbpress pages, if it’s not possible to redirect. This seems extremely fundamental, but I can’t find any answers.

[Brandon Allen]

Downgrading is possible, but how it could be a lot of work.

1. What version of bbPress are you actually running? You say alpha, but there have been betas released.
2. Are you running any plugins that make use of new features and functions of 2.6?
3. Have you made any customizations to your theme that make use of new features and functions of 2.6? I’ve seen at least one theme that requires 2.6 for bbPress support. Is this th
4. I’ve seen at least one theme that requires 2.6 for bbPress support. Is this the case with your theme?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
BuddyPress has this built in. If you use plain bbPress, there should be plugins around for bbPress 2.5 . I have added basic mentionning in my bbP Toolkit plugin if it can help you.

always happened? Just started happening? new site ? old site ? Just when in bbpress ? when in everything ?

[vitalinfo]

Thanks
I could do it with

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[vitalinfo]

WordPress 4.7.3 running Lana Blog theme.
BBpress Version 2.5.12
Link: bcompetitive.in

I am unable to make the sidebar work on my forum pages. It works if I use short-codes for forums, but you know it is not practical. I tried editing page.php with code if_bbpress. That gives me a sidebar below the forum.
I tried bbpress wp tweaks and nothing happened.
I copied pagewith sidebar template from the theme and renamed it as bbpress.php, nothing happened.
Can anyone help?
I am absolutely new to coding.
I wish to have same sidebar as that of blog.

[jazminredux]

Yes, I have https in the site name. I created a new staging site with fresh WP and bbPress installs and installed the SSL on it…bbPress is still working perfectly. I also had a developer who imported users from our old Magento install into WooCommerce. I’m waiting on him to see if he has any insight into whether his work might be causing this issue.

[Robin W]

Perhaps this plugin will help

bbPress Moderation

Devs are busy with version 2.6 at the mo, so suspect any new requests are not being looked at.

[robcruiz]

Has anyone from bbPress seen this yet? Some kind of response would be much appreciated. Thank you.

[cbclark]

Hello! I really like the way this forum (bbPress support) allows users to manage their profile. Is it using a particular plugin? My website still displays the standard WordPress black bar across the top of the page for registered users who are logged in.

Thank you!

Hi
My theme author tells me I need to identify the <body> tag class for each of the bbPress pages I want to customize, so that I can target specific pages with custom CSS. I’ve tried inspecting the Forum page through the browser but couldn’t identify anything that looked like the example he provided (postid-####). Could some kind soul please help by listing the <body> tag classes for the bbPress pages, or at least the forum index page?

[cbclark]

Hello! Is being able to use @ to mention a user a feature that is available in bbPress? Do I need to do anything specific to get it functioning properly? Right now, it doesn’t happen for me in my forum.

I tried searching for answers but came up with empty handed. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you so much.
