Hi all, hope you’re doing well – this isn’t a request for help but more some clarity on some questions I have.

I have a website designed entirely with Oxygen builder. I want to create a new page, something like coolsite.com/forum which would be the homepage for the forum – coolsite.com/otherpage will not be part of the forum and will be considered a different silo.

I’m thinking of making something similar to Hearthpwn’s deck builder to query Hearthstone’s card API and was wondering how feasible this is. Does bbPress have that degree of customization?

Also, I’d really like users to be able to sign up for users which aren’t attached to WordPress – is there a way to do that with bbPress? So instead of using WordPress account manager, I can have control of it or another plugin maybe?

Hello Guys,

I got the solution of this issue, follow the steps:

1. Backup your whole wordpress account if something goes wrong.
3. Install and/or activate the bbPress plugin again if you have deactivated and/or delete it.
4. In WordPress administration panel, go to Tools -> Forums -> Reset Forums tab.
5. Check the delete imported users and Are you sure you want to do this? checkbox to acknowledge that the removal process cannot be undone.

6. Then click on reset bbpress button

and done the process will remove all the data of the bpress.

Hi,
Thank you so much,
I am testing the forum, I filled the login and I found it’s not enough,
Because I want the users who must to fill register( with a E mail to confirm),
after having registered, it will be redirect to the profile page, so the users will fill the profile,
after that, he could use the forum,
So how can I do ? the bbpress login is too simple and cannot do that.
Thanks a lot !

In wordpress new post or page the youtube embed works every time. In bbpress new topic or reply it works sometimes and sometimes not (mostly not)… I am actually starting to think its a browser issue rather than wp, tinymce or bbpress.

Hi all, and thanks to Robin for an amazing software!

I am creating a forum for poker but I just can’t find a way to get the hand histories converted. There are a bunch of converters online but bbPress just doesn’t seem to show the converted histories in a human friendly format.

This is how a hand history should look like more or less https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/69/online-no-limit-holdem-cash/nl50-not-best-flops-aa-4-bet-pot-facing-2x-overbet-shove-1826479/

Depending on the type of conversion I choose, my hand histories on bbPress look like this (TwoplusTwo format):
[converted_hand][hand_history]PokerStars – €1 PL Hi FAST (6 max) – Omaha Hi – 4 players

[url=”http://www.holdemmanager.com”%5DHand converted by Holdem Manager 3[/url]
[b]Hero (BTN): €128.03 (128 bb)
[/b]SB: €25.52 (25.5 bb)
[color=”grey”]BB: €172.01 (172 bb)
[/color][color=”grey”]CO: €26.21 (26.2 bb)
[/color]
SB posts €0.50, BB posts €1.00
[b]Pre Flop:[/b] [i](pot: €1.50)[/i] [b]Hero has[/b] 6:club: A:club: 6:spade: 5:diamond:
fold, [color=”red”][b]Hero[/b] raises to €2.00[/color], SB calls €1.50, fold

OR like this (HTML)
PokerStars – €1 PL Hi FAST (6 max) – Omaha Hi – 4 players<br/>Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3<br/><br/>Hero (BTN): €128.03 (128 bb)<br/>SB: €25.52 (25.5 bb)<br/><span style=”color: #666666;”>BB: €172.01 (172 bb)<br/></span><span style=”color: #666666;”>CO: €26.21 (26.2 bb)<br/></span><br/>SB posts €0.50, BB posts €1.00<br/><br/>Pre Flop: <span style=”font-style: italic;”>(pot: €1.50)</span> Hero has 6

So what to do? Obviously for a poker forum the hand conversion is crucial and I haven’t been able to find a solution elsewhere..

Thanks for the help guys!

I was just hoping that the blocks everywhere plugin would help me fix the issue I have with embedding video into forum posts which I think is something to do with TinyMCE: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/youtube-links-not-embedding-in-forum-posts/

I get what you mean, though, about the general user having issues with the block editor. I am still getting used to it and ran on the legacy editor for over a year before I made the leap! 🙂

Hi,
I have setup a forum in using bbpress,
forum name is travel, now I want to place this forum on my page in using the shortcode [bbp-forum-form] , but my travel forum didn’t display on the site,
How can I do it to modify that ?
Thank you very much!

On wordpress.org bbpress has various updates to this that we can download such as the gutemberg modules

[Robin W]

thanks

search should just look at the forums, but other elements such as themes or other plugins can change that.

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

the appearance>widgets that you showed are not widgets but sidebars that contain widgets – there is no bbpress sidebar.

[thxwp]

Hi,

This is the example that when a specific keyword is searched for in the bbpress search form, it searches across all pages on the site.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EYkLz82XYD86vsD9hhyM311blcNQ9wzh/view?usp=sharing

and I cannot find the bbpress widget on Appearance -> Widgets

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EYwCZvkd7GZbqPbFnF3ZbGVG0bnRS2UF/view?usp=sharing

FYI I am using a freeio theme (https://themeforest.net/item/freeio-freelance-marketplace-wordpress-theme/42045416)

Plese check them and let me know how to solve them.
Thank you

I have WP, bbPress, WPML up to date and in default language all topics show up in the topic archive but in translated languages Topics, that have a parent Forum don’t show up in there. They only appear if there is no forum set.

Hello Robin,thx a lot,finally i solve the problem

However,i have a new problem now,how to show bbpress at my first page?—> http://www.savemental.com

thx for ur reply!

[ibnat]

Was there any progress on this?

I have a similar issue where even youtube videos wont embed in forum posts. Just the link to you tube is published. I have a seperate topic here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/youtube-links-not-embedding-in-forum-posts/

SUBJECT: Website Issue: http://www.martiniformazione.it/sito; WordPress Version 6.3.1 – BBpress Version: 2.6.9. When users register and generate their password, they are unable to log in afterward. They consistently receive an error message stating that the password is incorrect. Even when following the password reset procedure and receiving the link to generate a new password, after creating a new password and attempting to log in, they still encounter the same error message that the password is incorrect. However, if I, as the site administrator, go to the ‘Users’ section and select ‘Generate New Password,’ the password generated in this way works and allows access. Where do you think the problem lies? Thank you very much for all the invaluable support you can provide as soon as possibl

When a specific keyword is searched for in the search form, it searches across all pages on the site. How can I set it up so that it only searches within the forum?

is this the forum search widget – if so link to a live example please

Also, the widget for bbPress is not visible in the widget area. How can I set it up to be visible?

Widgets

please explain which widget you mean

There doesn’t seem to be a “move topic” option in bbpress for an admin to use when a member posts in a wrong forum category.

I did find a plug but it is very old and unsupported: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-move-topics/

Surely this is a “must have” for forum administration?

Is there a reason why bbpress doesn’t come with this in the core?

Is there a way to implement it somehow?

[ibnat]

From 46 issues in converting my forum to a fully functioning mobile app I am down to this one issue. Good news yes? Sigh! 🙂

I have searched the internet in forums and help sites for bbpress, TinyMCE and Astra theme and cannot find anything similar to my issue.

I have disabled and re enabled plugins to look for conflicts. Tried Chrome, firefox and Edge browsers

Youtube refuses to embed and be visible inside a forum topic.

Any and all ideas welcome 🙂

Hi all,

At the very bottom of a forum topic underneath the reply editor I have a link for “Next Topic”. I can’t find anywhere in the bbpress forum settings to deactivate this.

How can I remove this link?

[Robin W]

@ibnat hey that is great – would you mind if I added generic versions of this to the bbpress documentation?

[alexandra440382]

I love bbPress toolbar, how can I make mine exactely like it?

[ibnat]

I haven’t used it myself but There is a plugin called Advanced ads that does what you want I think. https://wpadvancedads.com/ads-in-bbpress/

[OSCOWP]

Hi guys!

We have a new theme for our website but we are having issuess inerting ads on the bbpress forum.
Do you know a nice plugin for inserting ads between replies and topics?

Thanks!

I have setup BBPress to work with A Membership plugin so only members of the community can access the forum (in order to keep strangers from getting in) but even though I have marked the forums page with the “members only” restriction, if I have a direct link, I can still see that page even without logging in.
So I implemented shortcodes for specific forums and created pages specific to that forum while adding quick links to sidebar navigation, which works beautifully. But if you click on the forum within the bbpress window it goes to the generic forum topic page and not the new page I designed.
How can I keep the forum from being viewed by not logged in members with a direct link? I cant have just anyone accessing this forum. Thanks
