When users enter their topic in my bbpress forum, they have the option to fill out tags as well. Since my forum is running for several years now, a lot of tags have been created. They all result in their own tag-page. Several topics are basically one and the same (for example <h1> and h1).

Therefore I’m looking for a way (preferably via a plugin) to let the user choose from the list of existing tags, while typing their tag. Some sort of autocomplete or suggest function. When they can’t find the appropriate tag, they should be able to fill out their own, new tag.

Are their any suggestions or people having experience with this?

Thanks!

My search results don’t show the topic name…

When the keyword is found in a topic, the search result shows the forum name and the topic description (no topic name).

When the keyword is found in a reply, the search result shows just the reply and who wrote it. No forum, no topic. So, there’s no context. You can link via topic # in the upper right corner, but that’s not very user-friendly.

Is this wacky display because of my theme? I’m using Razor. I have the latest bbPress. Can I change the code to display the search results similar to how you do it here on this support site, where it says “in reply to <topic name>”? If so, where can I do that?

Thank you in advance for your help. 🙂

The site you linked to appears to be running MyBB 1.4.x. The importer only works on MyBB 1.6.x and 1.8.x. You would need to upgrade to one of those versions, first, before the bbPress importer will work.

Hi,

I found a couple similar posts but nothing recent. When my users subscribe to a topic, they get emails when someone else posts in the topic. But when they are subscribed to a forum, and a new topic is created, no email is sent.

I’m not sure even where to start looking. Anyone else have this problem and a fix?

Thanks,

Jeff

We have tried many plugins on our website which uses bbPress forum some produce incomplete pdf’s of the normal pages but none produce pdf’s of the forum pages. We simply want to be able to create a pdf of the page as we see it formatted on the screen. Is this possible?

WordPress 4.7.3 running Klein theme.
bbPress 2.5.12-6148.

Home Version 1

Many thanks.

I view this from the opposite direction @ljmac, bbPress is one of the leading, if not forerunner plugin on pushing the boundaries of WordPress’ user roles, the changes WordPress made benefit bbPress greatly. It also wasn’t an easy decision to make, we’d wanted a couple of changes in WordPress for a few years now, now we got a change that we wanted, we just had to make the decision as to if we should break back compatibility, and we concluded the pros outweighed the cons.

To answer your question though, yes bbPress 2.5.11 should work on WordPress 3.7

p.s. WordPress development has nothing to do with Automattic, Automatic host WordPress sites on WordPress.com. WordPress and WordPress.org is an open source project with many contributors world wide.

[Mary]

Sorry. I’ve been looking for this for hours now.
And right after posting this I found solution.

 <?php the_widget( 'BBP_Forums_Widget'); ?> 

And names for ready useable widgets can be found in bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

Hi there,

1. We have a parent forum with a bunch of child forums. I did check the “Allow forum wide search” box. On the main forum page, which is a regular WP page using the forum shortcode, the search bar is there. Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/Rv4EB6POOG But on all of the actual forums, including the parent forum, the search bar is not there. Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/byZD2Ua8h How do I make them show up?

I did deactivate all plugins but bbpress, but the issue was the same.

2. In each topic, there is the word “by”. Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/XVRBrBIiz
How do I make that go away? I am hesitant to do a display:none; in the CSS, because other parts of the site need that .entry-meta tag.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!

Pls help!

My bbpress can’t reply to reply in mobile phone.

It’s all ok in computer. and it’s also ok for direct reply to post in mobile phone.

But if click reply to an exist reply in mobile phone, the block is locked and can’t put anything in.

Here is the address: wllyp.top/forums/

[possip]

Hello there, i’m using topics as comments for posts; those topics are visible in forum-section for all visitors, but somehow they’re hidden under the post for guests, so that only logged-in users can see the comments/replies. how can i make them visible for all? the site is possip.de
apprecciate your help. greetings 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

WordPress 4.7 changed the way that the logged-in user is loaded. More specifically, it changed the execution point in the code, in such a way, that bbPress needed a change to meet the new requirement.

Hi, I am using theme News Magazine, here is my website http://toantinhoc.ga/ho-tro-lyx/
I have a problem with this theme + bbpress. For example, in this topic http://toantinhoc.ga/forums/topic/bo-sung-dinh-ly-bo-de-vi-du/ the first post is always visible, but from the second reply, they are hidden or visible when I move cursor. Anyone have idea to solve this?.

The problem does not occur when I change another theme.

[haddlyapis]

Just to let you know, I pasted the shortcode for Prisna in the BBPress file ‘content-archive-forum.php’ in order to display the language options on the main forum page http://www.apis.de/forum

[haddlyapis]

Hi, I have added the shortcode on my main forum page http://www.apis.de/forum to implement the Prisna Google Translator. This displays a drop-down list of languages to choose from. The problem is that it only translates that page and if i click on a forum topic, it reverts back to the website language.
The advice from Prisna is to create a WordPress category for the forum. But I can’t do this, as BBpress doesn’t seem to provide this option on the topic pages.
Any ideas?

Hello All,

Have used BBPress and Buddypress.

Hello,

I have insert the forum with a shortcode into a subpage:
https://picload.org/image/rlicaiar/bild1.png

But I don`t know who I can get the automatic generated subpages from bbpress into the same Design. I created the subpages with the Visual Composer, since they all look different. The forum should be displayed within the frame (see picture above).
Currently, however, it looks like this:

I hope you can help me.
Thanks

Visit our active support forum Weaver Support Forum for our theme to see our brand new plugin
Weaver for bbPress in action on a real site.

This site not only demonstrates how an active bbPress support forum can work, it also demonstrates how our new plugin Weaver for bbPress can be used to create a great looking site with the amazing styling and other features provided by the plugin. The support forum is running on a standard WordPress theme (our own Weaver Xtreme) using Weaver for bbPress options with absolutely no extra CSS or PHP coding required. This example uses a green based design, but the plugin has subtheme options to support virtually any existing WP theme.

[wpweaver]

I am very pleased to announce the release of my new plugin called Weaver for bbPress available for download from WordPress.org at Weaver for bbPress

This plugin makes bbPress essentially a turnkey install. Not only does it provide a collection of great looking bbPress themes that blend with about any WP theme, it includes many other essential options to control Forum and List layouts. It has enhanced features for both Participants and Moderators that makes running a forum much easier. And no custom CSS or PHP coding required!

Read the longer description on the plugin page, or visit our very active support forum for our theme, Weaver Xtreme to see this plugin in action on a real site: Weaver Support Forum.

[Robin W]

all I can suggest is that you list everything about your site

php version
wordpress version
bbpress version
theme
all plugins

and if someone else has then issue, then maybe we can see some commonality.

I have created a Forum page with a bbpress sidebar using Avada theme. I’ve created Registration and Lost Password pages and added the urls to the bbpress Login widget, but they are not showing up?
WP version 4.7.3, bbpress version 5.0.9

[Stefan Sebechlebsky]

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. BP Group Moderators do have capabilities like edit, close, merge, split topics or replies in the Group Forum but they do not see the textbox to assign or edit tags. I tried to show the box by hacking the files
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
and
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php
by removing the condition “&& ( current_user_can( ‘assign_topic_tags’ )”
but then the tags assigned in the box have not been saved, anyway.
There must be a bug in the capabilities mapping from BP group moderator to bbP forum moderator. The capabilities like ‘assign_topic_tags’, ‘edit_topic_tags’, etc. are missing there.
For BP group admins and ordinary members it works well, they can assign and edit topic tags in their group forum.
But where is the code of this mapping? I cannot find it.

[kamoe]

Hi, I’m moving a forum from phpbb to bbpress, so far so good.

But I want to reduce the amount of forums so I’m looking for a tool to:

bulk move topics or merge forums

I have been looking around here.. but I’ve not seen it, any ideas?

Thanks!

K
