@robin-w thanks.
I started deactivating plugins and found the plugin that was conflicting with bbPress. It was Simple Intranet’s Simple Files plugin https://www.simpleintranet.org/simple-files/
Any idea on what we should do? We would like to use both plugins…
No thx, I started to love BBPress after some time 🙂 …
It’s not giving them moderation capabilities indeed. No popup in my env., only a textfield.I will start by disabling plugins, see if one is causing the problem.
Another small (or big issue 🙂 ).
When a topic or reply is viewed in the backend (edited) uploaded images are kind of big.

After hours of adjusting my bbpress child theme templates, and troubleshooting I found that the favourites and subscription items where still missing … after some more digging I found that:
<?php bbp_topic_subscription_link(); ?>
<?php bbp_user_favorites_link(); ?>
is missing in the loop-replies.php template file. I think this is a oversight? Adding the above two function calls to loop-replies.php make both options appear.
i’ve 50k users, 1100K posts
what is the way to do the upgrade?
i think,
-Delete Bbpress 2.6alpha
-install BBpress 2.6 beta2
And then?
@senatorman If you have more than 10,000 users, you’ll need to manually run favorites & subscriptions migrations from someplace you are safe doing so. Otherwise, totally safe.
If you’re running a multisite installation with bbPress running on all of them, the upgrade routine will attempt to run on all of them, so there’s that too (though it’s a very unlikely situation.)
Hi my website used bbpress like this box writting here. When i hover the icon appear mixed black+green, i tried to firebug here but i cannot find the correct code hover this website used for this icon.
Do you have any idea?
After switching site hosting from DReamhost shared servers to Dreampress my bbpress login is not working properly. You can fill out the username and password and after entering it just resets as if you never did anything. No errors.
my site is tyndale.edu
Under Current Students is Student Lounge and that is the main place we need this to work. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Richard
or when using buddypress:
BP Emails for BBP
would be nice if the function of this plugin could be integrated in BBPress.
Hello, I’m not sure if I found a bug or it is a feature. I’m using WordPress website as a forum. I have three private groups where each have access for different forums. Under one category I have four forums – one group has access to three forums and other to the last one. When someone will put a post to one of the forums, person from group which is not permitted to see the post, can see in freshness column, that someone has wrote something (still he is not able to see the post but in fact he can see the action). Two screenshots for picture the issue:
http://screenshot.sh/oBMycidMR5T2U
http://screenshot.sh/m9itlEWm5RUbW
On pictures I’m logged into account which don’t have permissions to view the forum, to which post has been added. I’ll be grateful for any hint how to solve this issue.
Wordpress version – 4.7.1
bbPress version – 2.5.12
bbP private group version – 3.2.10

That should be possible, yes.
There are a few ways you could go about this but the easiest is probably to make topic tags available to regular blog posts (that way, both can share the same taxonomy and you probably won’t need to worry about modifying the bbPress UI).
If you really need to, you could go a step further and a) remove ‘regular tags’ from blog posts and b) rename topic tags so they simply read as ‘tags’. This would result in you having one type of tag everywhere.
Bear in mind however that if you already have a bunch of existing topic and regular tags you would need to do some migration work unless you are prepared to lose one set.
Hello,
I would like to know if it would be possible to have WordPress and BBPress using the same tags?
I thank you in advance
Kind regards
4.7/4.7.1 and bbpress 2.5.12 work
If you have these then :
1. what php version are you running?
your host provider can answer this
or you can install
https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-php-version/
If it’s php7 then come back
otherwise
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 @barryhughes-1,
I have just checked your snippet and it just works great 🙂
So for fully public forums, this could be a quick win.
My only worry is that it does not take into account any bbPress ‘protection’ or ‘permission’. As it’s showing all forums, all topics, it’s not taking into account any specific bbPress settings or filters set. Some great plugins like bbP Private Groups is shielding data from being seen by unauthorised people and this should be extended to the API.
So I will try from a different angle. Authentication there will be my biggest nightmare probably 🙂
I have created my GitHub environment and plan to start putting the ideas on the wiki there: https://github.com/ePascalC/bbp-API/wiki
Please add your ideas !
Pascal.
p.s. @reedy, to get Slack up and running to join the #bbPress channel sign up here:
https://chat.wordpress.org
@senatorman The improvements here on bbPress.org were not-insignificant.
We have 25k topics, 100k replies, and many more in spam/trash/drafts/revisions, amounting to around 180k total posts.
It’s not a huge-huge install, but not exactly small either.
@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.
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.
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!
Mark
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
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; ?> ;
}`
Hi. I tried to apply css box shadow for input textara. But it was not work. Anyone know what exactly class CSS should to use to add box shadow? Thanks
