hi,
I’m new in using bbPress.
I should start by allowing the forum to a dozen people (which I will register) to participate in the forum by making sure that only these see it (and they can easily login).
The next step will allow everyone to see the forum (with a forum indication on the menu) but not write.
The last step will allow each user to register himself and then be able to intervene.
Each operation must be moderated.
I have already installed bbpres moderation and bbp private groups
I was interested to have some tips on how to set up the forum to following these steps.

I had a similar need – to show the user’s bio on their replies – so sharing my solution here, a simple function created after having a look at this nifty little plugin by Robin W.

function show_bio_bbp_replies () {
$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
$usermeta = get_userdata( $user_id, 'description' );
echo '<p class="bbp-reply-user-bio">'.$usermeta->description.'</p>';
}
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'show_bio_bbp_replies');

This used to work, see no reason why it should not still be fully functional!

Hello bbPress Profis,

i’m searching for a plugin to make some pre=defined topics for BuddyPress Groups.

Like Restaurants, Parties, etc…

So, if i’m making a new group, i would like to get my group forum with the pre-defined plugins, or sub-forums…

Thanks a lot,
Csaba

Hello bbPress Profis,

i hope, that i can find a solution or you can help me…

i’m searching for a plugin to make different forms for different topics.

for example: topic name web designers:

form to post:
– Name:
– City:
– Experience:
– etc…

other topic name: Job
topic form:
Company name:
Job title:
Job description:
Salary:
Start date:
etc…

And i would like to get a pre-formatted post…

is there a plugin what can help me?

I’m not a coder, so i can make only smaller changes, i use plugins to build my own sites, but in this case i would need a lot of different user made content and this would be a cool solution, to don’t need 20 different plugins to make my site slow.

I reset the forum. Reimported and recalculated the relationships with the bbPress tools. So far it is working again.

[Asbjoern]

Hello

Today I imported a forum from MyBB software. After this action I can no longer access the bbPress page “Replies” in WP admin backend. I receive an error 503 “Service unavailable”. The problem occurs with this URL:

– http://www.undertoner.dk/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply

I have performed all possible repairs through the tools.
I have disabled all plugins except bbPress.
I run the latest PHP version.
I can see and edit the replies in frontend.
I can add new replies in frontend.

I am almost certain it is a server database issue.
None of the replies have titles and I have read this might be an issue.

Can you somehow help in any way?

Hi,
Is it possible to use WordPress shortcodes in bbPress posts? (I mean either native WordPress shortcodes such as [caption][/caption], [gallery ...], or shortcodes defined by third-party plugins).
To be more precise, I’m the author of a WordPress plugin that allows to insert chess diagrams and/or chess games in WordPress posts/pages (see https://wordpress.org/plugins/rpb-chessboard/). I would like to extend to have chess games/diagrams in bbPress posts.
Thank you beforehand.

[Robin W]

so with just askimet and bbpress on a vanilla theme you have a problem?

[horizon70s]

Hello,

The problem is with Askimet. I thought it was supposed to work with BBpress? I see the option in the settings to allow them to work together.

[Robin W]

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

I am looking to change the buttons in the default text editor to those that appear in the fancy visual editor. My audience is overseas and are familiar with the “microsoft word” style of buttons. I have tried Enabling the visual editor however am experiencing issues with inline replies. I actually prefer the default text editor as it strips out copied html, so really I just need so fancy buttons. Can I do so with css or create a filter to call the other toolbar instead of qt_bbp_topic_content_toolbar ?

[Robin W]

many threads botn on this forum and on the all in one seo pack page

google

bbpress all in one seo

and you’ll see a list

This one frequently fixes apparently :

I spoke to the author of the All in One SEO Pack and was told to delete and reinstall the plugin. Surprisingly, it worked even though I already had the latest version.

[rick561]

Not sure where the conflict lies, but having the two plugins activated, results in no access to bbPress’ settings page.

Deactivating All In One SEO Pack fixes it but, would like to have them both. Halp!

bbPress – Version 2.5.11
All In One SEO Pack – Version 2.3.11.4

Hi @fhasst1,

(Let me start by noting it could very well be that you already know this—but something in your post made me want to call it out just in case you weren’t aware.)

bbPress runs on top of WordPress. That’s important because it means if a user has logged into your (WordPress-driven) site/app then, by extension, they will have logged into the forum (insofar as bbPress will realize they are an authenticated user and will be able to identify them) … no need for a separate login.

Also, I think it’s worth calling out the fact that when it comes to adjusting the way bbPress behaves, or building some new forum feature, there is a really quite extensive set of functions, hooks and methods available to you that make it a really awesome platform to build on.

All the answers I can find to this question seem old and the solutions don’t work.

I’ve tried copying my theme’s full width template to my child theme and naming it bbpress.php
I’ve tried copying bbpress.css to my child theme and adding the CSS for article width to it and adjusting it to 100% (which works fine in the theme if I want to change ALL my content to 100%)

How can i get JUST my bbPress generated pages to be full width ? Currently i’m linking straight to the forums, should I be putting them in full width pages and generating them with short code instead as a workaround ?

Note: the bbpress.php override works fine but I can’t figure out how to override the .css that’s keeping the forum box small.

/* Arrange posts into grid structure on archive pages */
.archive article,
.blog article,
.search article {
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 3.33333%;
padding-left: 1.11111%;
padding-right: 1.11111%;
width: 33.33333%;
}

I am on WordPress 4.7.2 and bbPress 2.5.12 and suddenly this combination stopped working layoutwise. bbPress is just outputting content (text), but without any tables or any other formatting.

The glitch happens with all WordPress themes not just a particular theme.
I am using “bbPress Tweaks” to render the output in my theme. Deactivating bbPress Tweaks did not solve it.

Unfortunately we use this website for internal communications, so can’t just put a link here, you have to have an active user to login.

Therefore I uploaded some pictures of what is happening:
https://www.rainbow-international.de/screen.jpg
https://www.rainbow-international.de/screen2.jpg

I tried everything disabling plugins, downgrading WordPress, downgrading bbPress itself. But I can’t get the older versions of bbPress to run. Something in the code is crashing -> white page. So I am stuck with 2.5.12.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Kostas,

I am currently making a plugin to move/copy/delete bbPress install in multisite.
Would you be interested in purchasing it when ready?

Thanks,

Stiofan

[Robin W]

login probably isn’t going to do it either.

Probably a setting in wordpress or your site

or ‘I changed all of the URLs directly in the database’ something mis-set here

Suggest you start by

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.

to eliminate these as issues

Hello i m working with WordPress 4.6.1 with Bigbang theme
my bbPress version is 2.5.10

The problem is in the tool bar: I see simultaneously both the visual bar that the textual, and the keys of the text toolbar are visible only if I get over them with the mouse

[Stephen Edgar]

Oh, that is strange, can you check the contents of the following file for me on your beta 2:

bbpress/includes/admin/converter.php#L653

That line should read $max_index_length = 191;

One other thing, you might need to run the “reset forums” tool first from:

/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-reset

That will delete that old table (and *all* your forum data) and make it available to be created in the updated format.

[TiiuK]

Hi Stephen,

unfortunately it didn’t help, I get the exact same error message with bbPress 2.6 Beta 2. Any other possibilities?

Thank you

[JamieLe]

Hi, and thank you so much for replying. I ended up adding BBPress and disabling the legacy thing. I’ve also added new forums and my client didn’t seem too bothered about the loss.

Is it too late to convert to old forums and, if not, how would I go about it?

[jkisha]

Hi Robin,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I didn’t respond sooner, but I didn’t get an email notification. Well, I tried your suggestion and no joy. 🙁

Any other suggestions? I’ll check in daily whether I get a notification or not.

Here’s a link to a forum via the most popular link: http://new.mudskippercafe.com/forums/view/popular/

T[Edited to add]
his is a development site, the original URL was http://www.mudskippercafe.com So maybe that will give you some other ideas of what might be going on. I changed all of the URLs directly in the database and everything else is working. I’ve also disabled all of the other plugins that were originally being used with bbpress just to make sure they weren’t causing issues.

Thanks again,

John
