@reedy I’m here if you need help. Can also use the #bbpress channel in WordPress’s Slack instance.

> create the ability to have a topic relate to multiple Forums

bbPress currently requires that all topics have some parent forum, but you are not forced to expose this hierarchy in your theme/design if you’d rather not.

Custom taxonomies are the way to go, and there is a goal to eventually migrate the “Forum” post type to be a taxonomy instead, now that individual forums can have their own meta-data.

[Robin W]

bbpress uses wordpress structure which works on a hierarchy, so a topic/post has a forum/post parent.

Would take a lot of customisation to make bbpress work differently to that – loads of functions would need total re-write.

Off-hand I can’t see how this would be achieved.

[Stephen Edgar]

It sounds like you might be using PHP 7?

If indeed that is the case the issue you are having I think is fixed in bbPress 2.6-beta

You can update (and test) the new bbPress https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-6-beta-1/

Running –
– WP 4.6.1 with Divi
– BBPress version 2.5.11

My use case –
– Using BBPress to create Topic discussions around content pages. The nature of these pages is that users may want to find a content page from different directions.
– Example: consider two content pages, Apples and Oranges. Some people may be researching vegetarian diets (both may come up), Citrus fruits (only oranges will come up), or fruits from Washington State (only apples will come up).

My hope –
– create the ability to have a topic relate to multiple Forums.
– Using the above example, I would have a forum for vegetarians (both apples and oranges relate to this Forum), another for Citrus Fruits (only oranges relate to this Forum), and a third for Washington State produce (only Apples relate to this Forum).

What is the best way to accomplish this change in BBPress categorization of Topics to ForumS?

Thank you in advance!

Something like this ought to do the trick:

function bbp_add_recent_activity_view() {
	bbp_register_view(
		'active',
		'Active topics',
		array(
			'meta_key'      => '_bbp_last_active_time',
			'meta_type'     => 'DATETIME',
			'meta_compare'  => '>=',
			'meta_value'    => date_i18n( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime( '-1 day' ) ),
			'max_num_pages' => 1,
			'orderby'       => 'meta_value_num',
			'show_stickies' => false
		) 
	);
}

add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'bbp_add_recent_activity_view' );

With this in place you should then be able to access a list of ‘active’ topics at:

example.com/forums/view/active

In terms of where to add this sort of code, there are a few options. One would be to create a new PHP file (starting with a <?php opening tag) at:

wp-content/mu-plugins/bbpress-tweaks.php

[Robin W]

This does the background color, I’ll leave you to pick the bones out of it.

`#bbpress-forums input[type=”text”], textarea,
#bbpress-forums input[type=”text”]:focus, textarea:focus,
#bbpress-forums .quicktags-toolbar
{
background-color: red; ?> ;
}`

@johnjamesjacoby Hi John, is it possible to run the update script manually?

I’m adjusting all my templates to the BBPress 2.6 versions but it seems that the update script didn’t run.

For example, i’m missing pagination in topics view, and in a single topic view, i’m also missing pagination and the favorite / subscribe options (the latter is related I guess).

Regards,

Marc

When I search my Forum I get a 502 error: the page request was canceled because it took too long to complete.

At first I thought it was only when you tried to search multiple words. But then it did work when I tried “crash cart” and “cell phone” and it did not work when I tried “annual” or “history”. So it seems very inconsistent.

Hi @barryhughes-1,
Should I start an environment on GitHub for this ? I really really love the idea of the bbPress API. It has been on my radar for a while but lost priority.

I had this link already saved to get some ideas https://github.com/thenbrent/BB-API

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Also please note that that ticket bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2685 that is referenced is fixed in version 2.6 of bbPress. So for the next version you will no longer need this.

Hello, I am having great difficulty getting any widgets to appear in my Forums sidebar. I believe now that it relates to the page I have bbPress running on. After initially installing bbPress I later added a new page and added [bbp-forum-index] as directed to do in the documentation. However, when I’ve tried to use the Forums page id to exclude the Forums link from automatically appearing in the footer it did not work. Also I had to use (.bbpress) in my css to style the header of the page as .page-id- was not working.
My issue still occurs when tested using Twenty Seventeen.

[senatorman]

i’ve remove my 2.6 aplha and instal 2.6 beta 1 after the fix on an testforum with 120 forums and 500 posts

the install runs fast (few seconds) it looks like there is no converting in the database to convert usermeta to postmeta. There is no big performancechange

i had understand that beta 1 is an good performance update. And makes Bbpress faster for big forums. Am i right?

[wautersandreas]

Hi, i had a big problem with bbpress in the sense that it crashed (fatal error) every time i tried to administrate it by clicking the “forums” tab.

I found out that the below function was the problem, and in particular that i needed to change to:
$post_stati = bbp_get_public_status_id();
from
$post_stati[] = bbp_get_public_status_id();

for some reason the straight brackets broke everything, i don’t understand why, so i wanted to flag this for future updates. i’m a complete newb so yeah 😀

1. I’ve confirmed this is a wider issue with ALL wordpress registrations. It is not a BBpress issue.

IF SOMEONE ELSE is having trouble with registration emails, you should test general WordPress user registrations:

– make sure “Anyone can register” is checked in Settings/General
– go to yourwebsite.com/wp-admin
– click register
– see if you get the registration email.

2. There’s a discussion from three months ago (~October 2016) about Godaddy blocking WordPress registration emails b/c they think they are spam. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/godaddy-internet-community-ib212-filtering-wordpress-registration-emails-as-spam/

3. There’s a nifty plug-in to check email from your site called “Check Email”. I’m able to get emails sent from this plug in. So it seems likely that I may also be a victim of registration emails being blocked as spam.

I will post more results as I get them.

[Robin W]

can you post your bbpress.php template page here?

[Robin W]

I presume it is not as simple as changing

/*Customize the BBPress roles to allow Participants to trash topics

to

/*Customize the BBPress roles to allow Participants to trash topics */

on line 1, as currently the lack of a */ at the end of the line means that it just comments out all of your first function, so that function doesn’t run !

Hi all,

Got something I am stumpeped on. I have a site, with a child theme and I have installed BBPress.

Created the bbpress.php template page. All pages on the forum work fine apart from the view topic page. It just outputs the content of BBpress with no theme code.

If I switch to a parent theme, it ll works OK, it’s only happening on a child theme

Any ideas ?

[Robin W]

not available in bbpress, so would require code, so might as well be a plugin !

[Robin W]

Quick one on your NOTE: Yes that was a previous version of the plugin that no longer exists.

user creation is a wordpress thing – bbpress is not involved. It only allocates the default role on first login.

Would be worth you googling ‘wordpress register email not working’, but it can be a host thing, and is worth talking to your host provider about.

[climbingturtle]

Really having a hard time with Registration emails. I’ve spent most of the weekend getting nowhere.

WordPress 4.7.1
bbPress 2.5.12
Theme bbPress (Twenty Ten)Version: 1.4.1

Emails are working from the same wordpress installation. I have the “Check Email” plug-in installed, and use to confirm that emails are working fine.

When a user registers, the user is created, but the email never seems to get out.

Any help or troubleshooting advice is sincerely appreciated. Thanks!

NOTE: A topic by this name seems to exist (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registration-email-not-being-sent-new-issue/page/2/), but it’s over a year old, seems to deal with people whose servers are blocking email, and makes references to files that no longer exist in the plugin (bb-includes/pluggable.php).

I went to use a plugin FG Joomla to WordPress with the Kunena plugin addon to import all my Joomla users into WordPress, plus the Kunena forum posts (3000+). Most went fine but I noticed that my admin user on the Joomla site was turned into Anonymous with no link to a profile. All my post replies are now done by Anonymous.

Is there a way to change this Anonymous to my admin user and be linked to the profile? I went to look in the database, but I do not see where bbpress posts and post user names are.
