Hy!

I’m convert my old Invision Power Board forum to bbPress. After that i use the Admin/Tools/Forums functions. Now i see the last activation, but that info is wrong.
So, the last active topic name and writer user is good, correct. But the link on the topic name is bad.

The topic name is the first (last active) and the link is for the second active topic.

How can i fix that?

Thank You!

untested, but try adding this to your functions file

add_filter ('bbp_filter_anonymous_post_data' , 'rew__filter_anonymous_post_data' 10, 2) ;

function rew_filter_anonymous_post_data( $retval, $r  ) {
	// Filter variables and add errors if necessary
	$r['bbp_anonymous_name'] = apply_filters( 'bbp_pre_anonymous_post_author_name',  $r['bbp_anonymous_name']  );
	if ( empty( $r['bbp_anonymous_name'] ) )
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_anonymous_name',  __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Invalid author name submitted!',   'bbpress' ) );

	// Website is optional
	$r['bbp_anonymous_website'] = apply_filters( 'bbp_pre_anonymous_post_author_website', $r['bbp_anonymous_website'] );

	// Return false if we have any errors
	$retval = bbp_has_errors() ? false : $r;

	// Finally, return sanitized data or false
	return apply_filters( 'bbp_filter_anonymous_post_data', $retval, $r );
}

I’m trying to find where the button gets created so I can edit the link then follow the rest of this post: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-new-topic-button/

[crewockeez]

yes. i bbPress will now use this template instead of the original. but test don’t work

[Robin W]

This is in a file called form-anonymous.php :

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-anonymous.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

you will see that lines 26-29 contain

<p>
			<label for="bbp_anonymous_email"><?php _e( 'Mail (will not be published) (required):', 'bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
			<input type="text" id="bbp_anonymous_email"   value="<?php bbp_author_email(); ?>" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" size="40" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />
		</p>

Just delete this and save, and this field will not be shown

As Robin suggested, you can disable all addons, i would however try disabling bbpress too.

I have had same problem lately after doing some work on my site, and i solved it by disabling and enabling bbpress.

I am creating a forum for users that is part of a larger website. When I tested registration it appears that registered users have access to the website dashboard, even when set to participant or spectator level. How do I configure the log in so users only have access to the actual forum themselves?

I am using WordPress 4.7.2 and bbpress 2.5.12

Thanks!

Hi there,

Does anyone know if there is a plugin that allows for a slightly nicer way of creating a New Topic?

E.g. either a new page as this forum on bbpress.org does, or something that opens at the top of the screen? Anything that doesn’t place the form at the foot of the page.

Thanks 😀

Jack

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Hi,

Yes I followed the explanation as I found out this is the first thing you asked to do.

I found out, taking a look at a plugin I had previously installed, called “bbpress wp tweaks”, that after a couple of an hour my template was eventually listed, however, it doesn’t make any difference and, yes my FTP software is working nice !
Any idea as there are not many templates and theme Twenty seventeen is quite different from the previous ones !?
Thanks for your kind help

Philippe

Hi

I’ve been reading many posts on this forum and tried out many proposed solutions but to no avail up to now 🙁

I first started with the copy of an unmodified and renamed in “bbpress.php” “page.php” file at the root of my theme folder, then with another one with a slight modification of the code substituting the class “content-area”with “content-area-wide”, I then tried another method creating a subfolder in my theme and copying the above mentioned file as well as a modified “style.css” file.
The code was simply :
.content-area-wide {
float: left; margin-right: -100%; width: 100%}

@import url (“../twentyseventeen/style.css”);

Unless the code is not correct or the path or it’s syntax either, of course it didn’t work either.

Surprisingly, the page listing all the forums is using almost the full width, and looks exactly what I’m looking for anyway but as son as I get in one of the forums they are displayed as if on one column way and aligned on the left.
Same thing for the abovementioned page if I go back to it unless I refresh it…
I should point out that I don’t use or have any sidebar for these pages and I’m not concerned by this kind of problem like many other people!
As I’m not a master of the code, could anybody help me and describe each step to solve this frustrating issue so that I can follow each step and not guess intermediate steps considered as obvious are easy by the most learned guys !?

Thanks so much for our site subscribers

Regards,

Philippe

Hi, sry i can’t edit my previous post. I used the bbpress signature plugin.

But also if i add a Link to a normal post, the link is not working because bbpress is adding the root url of the post before my url.

Is this because of permallinks or what is the issue?

thanks!

[Robin W]

can’t remember that bbpress has a signature element – are you using an additional plugin to do this?

bbPress Styling Crib

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
For specific questions when using that plugin, it might be better to ask on the dedicated forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-sort-topic-replies

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Can I take one step back?
If a user needs to receive an email when a new topic gets created in a forum, (s)he can just subscribe to the forum and bbPress will do the rest. You don’t need any extra plugins for that.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

For uploa­ding files, the 3 products I know of are ‘GD bbpress Attach­ments’, ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ and ‘bbP­ress Multi Image Uploa­der’. Have a look if it would fit your needs.

If you use BuddyP­ress as well, then there is also ‘Bud­dyP­ress Forum Editor’.

Pascal.

OK, I found the code who make this issue.

function SearchFilter($query) {
    if ( $query->is_search && !is_woocommerce() && !is_admin()) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', 'post,page' );
    }
    if ( function_exists( 'is_woocommerce' ) ) : 
        if ( $query->is_search && is_woocommerce() && !is_admin()) {
            $query->set( 'post_type', 'product' );
        }
    endif;
    return $query;
 }
add_filter('pre_get_posts','SearchFilter');

I put this function in functions.php because without that I can’t search on my blog AND Woocommerce with the plugin Releanssi).

But what the problem with this function?

EDIT: I found a topic and the fix of @robin-w

Topics not appearing in forum

I will try this fix very soon.

Hi fuse2701,

You need to change the padding-left value from 16px to 0.
The first padding value (0) is the padding-top one, the second one (0) is for padding-right, the third (23px) bottom and the last one (padding-left) should be changed from 16px to 0.

These are the current values:

#left-area ul, .entry-content ul, .comment-content ul, body.et-pb-preview #main-content .container ul {
padding: 0 0 23px 16px;
line-height: 26px;
list-style-type: disc;
}

If you are using a child theme, copy and paste the CSS lines below there. Otherwise, go to your WordPress Dashboard, Divi / Divi Theme Option / General tab / and paste these lines there on Custom CSS / Save Changes

#left-area ul, .entry-content ul, .comment-content ul, body.et-pb-preview #main-content .container ul {
padding: 0 0 23px 0;
}

If that doesn’t work, try adding a !important like this
padding: 0 0 23px 0 !important;

Hello,

I installed bbPress, maybe 5 months ago. I imported from phpBB.
After some trouble with this import, the installation was ok.

But now, with wordpress 4.7.2 (maybe before I’m not sure), I can see my forums but not replies and topics.
About topics, I can see when it’s “pin topics” but there is not reply inside.

Everything is ok in the admin panel of WP, all posts, topics and forums are here.

I tried to remove “WP-super cache” and use the tool “bbp-repair” but nothing change.

Could someone help me?

Best Regards

In my website I have some moderator and keymaster that are not administrators of the website. In this website I have installed the extension bbpress New Topic Emailer that correctly send the notifications of new posts to moderatos and keymasters but, if they click on the link on the email (which is domain.com?post_type=topic&p=8837 – the page in which you reply to the topic) they see the error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS , if I, as administrator, click on this link it works fine,
how can be the issue?

[Robin W]

not really sure that bbpress is the best tool for this.

several wordpress solutions round – I googled ‘document sharing wordpress’ and got this which looks like it is a better fit
