Hi

I’m new to bbPress and Buddy Press, but I’m experiencing the same thing. I get a notification when I’m mentioned in a Buddy Press activity, but not if I’m mentioned in a bbPress forum (on the same site ofcourse).

Have you previously seen this work – I mean, is it a bug? Or is it just a feature that would be nice to have? (I clearly don’t know since I haven’t tried earlier versions)

[siparker]

oh and here is the plugin to amke vbseo style urls in bbpress https://github.com/siparker/bbpress-vbulletin-permalink

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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, I want to create different sections in my forum like on this picture

I’ve tried to make categories and then add forums to it but always the result is not like I want… Do anybody know how to do that?
It is probably very easy;)

@robin-w
by the way its the bbpress style pack plugin Thanks Rob!
version 3.4

[Robin W]

Do you know how to put code in your theme’s function file ?

if so add this to it

add_filter( ‘bbp_get_do_not_reply_address’, ‘noreply@swissinformatics.org' );

and that will not get overwritten on upgrade of bbpress plugin

Of course that will need a child theme, as otherwise it will get lost on a theme update !

If any of that not clear (or not possible) come back !

[Robin W]

The below is offered as potential help, and in an effort to help, so if it is rubbish, then please come back, and I will try to help further.

bbpress uses the standard wordpress posts, but with post types of ‘forum’, ‘topic’ and ‘reply’ instead of ‘post’ and ‘page’, and bbpress code itself basically uses wp_query to access the database.

The glossary for wordpress api says

GET /wp-json/wp/v2/posts to get a collection of Posts. This is roughly equivalent to using WP_Query.

so I’d imagine that you would just use the same sort of call, and use wp_query parameters to return what you wanted.

So if for wordpress you had a command that gave you say the latest 5 posts, then this same command would work but just changing whatever that code has for post_type=’post’ to post_type=’topic’

If you wanted topics from a particular forum, you would add the equivalent of post_parent = ID where ID was the forum ID

In essence if you can tell me what you want, I can give you the wp_query, and you could hopefully translate this into json.

Does any of that make sense? 🙂

Hello I installed BBpress, created categories, forums, replies.. I have problems, in all Forums I see all Topics on all Forums.. I see Topics of Forum (General) in the forum (Games), what I do to only see Topics of Games in the forum Games?

And when I create topic, replie, etc.. in the web I didn’t see the HTML helper bar, with the italic, Bold, etc… what i do to put that?

Hi,
WP 4.7, latest BBpress. I have a multisite: swissinformatic.org, magazine.swissinformatics.org, [other stuff]swissinformatics.org. My mail server is @swissinformatics.org and the plugin picks up $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] to create the no reply address.
COULD YOU HELP US with a setting box to supersede this value?
Meanwhile I replaced it with my site name in the functions.php code, but mind the next plugin update!
$sitename = strtolower( ‘swissinformatics.org );
Always beware of “Educated guess’ I’m not going to buy a mail server for each subdomain and with the present security of providers,…
I also created a no reply alias of my administrative e-mail address.
Everything is fine now

I know nothing of rest, but there’s one for wordpress http://v2.wp-api.org/ does that help?

No it doesn’t support bbpress

[shantabhai]

I’m also looking for the REST API for bbPress but unable to find info on it either.

[gowthamvarma1988]

I am trying to import vbulletin 5 content to bbpress.

1.Copied database to local location.
2.Removed prefix
3.Copied vbulletin5 and converter files.

But it is stuck at the below location.

Calculating forum hierarchy (20 – 29) —> “Not moving from here”
Calculating forum hierarchy (10 – 19)
Calculating forum hierarchy (0 – 9)
Converting forums (20 – 29)

I tried to stop and start, removed prefix. Still no luck.

I just need only topics with posts, I can import other stuff manually.

Can you guys please help me with this issue?

There has been a survey for 2014 and 2015… since the plugin has grew so massively I thought a survey would have come about however there was none.

The information from it is really interesting… when are we likely to see the next bbPress Survey?

[Anonymous User]

Mike,

I have just stumbled upon the thread from 3 years ago and it led me to finding yours here. Is this really not resolved?

I recently got bbPress up and running and I also needed this. I went ahead and found the solution… here goes…

It’s in the template. Seriously. Let’s take the previous answer (sorry for no reference) that souneone suggested to “tell the users to use anon@example.com”, and we’ll make it even easier for the user.

Make sure to copy the default bbpress template “form-anonymous.php” to /wp-content/themes/your-theme/bbpress/

Open up form-anonymous.php from your theme and find the following code section:

<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>

Delete that. In fact, replace it with the following:

<input type="hidden" id="bbp_anonymous_email" value="anon@yourdomain.com" tabindex="-1234" name="bbp_anonymous_email" />

Save it out, close it out. You’re done!

Now you don’t require names.. it forces the “anon@yourdomain.com” as the value.
Developers can still change it 😉

remember to change yourdomain.com to your actual domain in the values I gave above.

Example:
TOPIC A
– Post 1
– Post 2
– Post 3
– Post 4

Simple added this code css:
/* Display sub-forums in separate lines */
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: list-item !important;}

Hi guys, I will just say first that I do not know much about coding.

I just installed bbpress and now i have this error come up in my wordpress dashboard

Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier ‘0’ in /home2/eli/public_html/juniortactician.com/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 231

Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier ‘0’ in /home2/eli/public_html/juniortactician.com/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 232

the code on those lines are as follows:

if ( preg_match(“#^$match#”, $request_match, $matches) ||
preg_match(“#^$match#”, urldecode($request_match), $matches) ) {

what does this mean and how can I get rid of it?

Thanks in advance.

[stagezero]

@robin w.

1. Forum thumbnail is clickable
2. bbp.forum-content is beside the thumbnail
3. recent topics below each forum list.
4. (on topic page) Thumbnail is visible.

also i have a problem with image not proportion. I have downloaded a plugin “Image Upload for BBPress”
and all image is not proportion during responsive view. It just shrink the width. I tried removing image attribute and set max width to 100%. any idea?

[stagezero]

Hello,
I have used Image Upload for BBPress to upload and attach image to forum.
my problem is image is not responsive. It will just shrink its width. I tried playing with firbug and remove image attributes and set max-width to 100%.
It works… Now my problem is which file to edit and how. Im not a coder. I just learned css and have little understanding on php…

Hello adarshmadrecha,
Greetings!

Now I have used latest version of wp and bbpress but this issue is not resolved.

I am sharing two links regarding this problem. In first link, latest created topic is showing. And in second link, previous created topic is showing. These topics are related with same group. But you can see in second link, wrong content and title are showing. Here content is overwriting of latest created topic.

https://kombuchabrewers.org/groups/brewing-questions/forum/topic/commercial-juice-suppliers/ (latest topic)

https://kombuchabrewers.org/groups/brewing-questions/forum/topic/moving-into-large-fermenters/
(previous topic)

Also, I am using two plugins regarding this, bbpress wp fix and bbpress wp fix2 on our website.

Please review my message and help me regarding this problem.

Looking forward for your response!

Thanks & Regards

I’m managing a bbPress 2.5.x forum with 10K+ users, 25K+ topic & 200K+ posts. It’s actually pretty fast: https://saabklubben.se/forum/

I’ve tried to minimize the number of plugins. The bbPress related ones are bbp style pack, bbPress – Report Content, bbPress Notices, bbPress WP Tweaks and GD bbPress Toolbox. However, our forum is a part of a Multisite network with 50+ active plugins (BuddyPress, WooCommerce, WangGuard, Akismet etc).

There has been some optimization done here as well. We’re using GeneratePress, which is an excellent theme in terms of performance (and much more). The optimization plugins are primarily Gator Cache, Autoptimize and EWWW.

On the server side we’re using Nginx with MariaDB and PHP-FPM (PHP 7). We also use Cloudflare and Redis. But it’s a single server setup, with ServerPilot and DigitalOcean (16 GB droplet, but we could easily use a 8 GB droplet instead).

In my experience, the best things we’ve done for optimization is to use PHP 7 and Redis. Those things have had the most impact on our performance.

bbPress tell me error with the WordPress version (4.6.1), when I install crashes the site and view the error page. Why does this happen?

[trishahdee]

I recently had my SMF forum migrated to BBPress. I’m just now starting to configure everything and I found that when trying to update my BBPress profile I am getting following errors:

ERROR: Please enter a nickname.
ERROR: This email is already registered, please choose another one.
A Nickname is required. Please choose a nickname or fill out your first and last name.

If I re-enter my nickname then the first and third errors go away but not the error about the email. This is confusing because I’m trying to update the profile and not create a new one.

When I deactivate all other plugins except for BBPress and activated Twenty Fifteen theme and try to update the profile again I only get the first two errors. The third one occurs when I turn on iThemes Security.

Does this have something to do with the migration of users? I have contacted the migration company but thought I’d also try here in case you have an suggestions.

[erich199]

Hello,
I’m trying to import a large mybb installation into bbpress. The problem happens when it goes to import topics that have many replies. For some reason, it’s splitting those topics into their own topics. I don’t know why it’s doing this I’ve done it several times (I made a backup of my database so I just restored it and tried again).

Is there a glitch in the plugin that is telling it to split those topics into multiple topics into bbpress?

It will import the topics with the title “RE: Some Topic” So each reply, is it’s own thread with only one reply. It’s very strange and I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this.
