How do bbpress sites deal with email quota limits? We’re hosted with Dreamhost and the limit is 100 outgoing emails per hour. We’ve also tried setting up SMTP through gmail, but the limit there is 500 per day. Either way, our notifications are enough that we hit those limits quite often.

I’m sure we’re not the first to deal with this… so what kind of solutions are out there?

We have upgraded to the latest versions of WordPress (4.7) and BBPress (2.5.12). We are seeing javascript errors now for finding the BBPress.css in the Child Theme.

http://insequence.online/wp-content/themes/flatbase-child/style.css/bbpress/bbpress.css?ver=4.7 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

I have copied the BBPress folder into the root directory of the child theme, though the link above states it should be in a structure below the style.css. This cannot be done, is there somewhere I can modify where it is looking or do I need to do something different to get past this?

[createrece]

I could install bbpress version 2.5.12 now it’s working but still one problem coming “Demo importer not working ” Tools > demo importer > click “import” or “Demo” > Import not working but Demo only working ..

My page admin is not open then how can update my plugins ?

Hello,

I need help setting up a forum. I have installed BuddyPress and bbPress 2.5.12-6148. I have WordPress 4.6.1. The gist of the forum and the specs that I’m aiming for are:

1) I want the forum to appear in my menu bar like the support menu option above.
2) I want the forum page to be essentially look like the support forum page on this site, where each time a topic is created it’s added to that page in an ongoing list.
3) I need there to be an effective search feature that allows users to find a company (which will be the topic title) so they can add to that stream instead of having multiple streams about the same company.
4) I want the forum to be accessible via paid membership only.
5) I want the moderator, and only the moderator, to have a tool to mark an issue “resolved” such as a different color font, bold highlighted font, etc. But I want to do this without closing the thread so that every time there’s an issue that same thread can be used.

If you can help, please let me know what your rates are. And if those rates are hourly, approximately how long you think this project will take.

Too late to edit my reply, I’d like to point out the fact that I was looking in the wrong area for replacing the wp avatar (with the bp one) as obviously in a forum, the avatar of each reply is attached to the… reply!

That way I added a filter on the bbp_get_reply_author_avatar method instead of the bbp_get_current_user_avatar one.

Personally, I’m not done as I am going to track down every part of my website where the wrong avatar gets displayed (which obviously means going through the wordpress code), but that’s not a bbpress concern anymore.

(I don’t know if there is like a “resolved” mark to give or something, but I’m all done with this topic 🙂 )

[ysiggen]

Okay so I am coming back here as I resolved it (it was quite easy actually, I am just very new to wordpress and also php programming).

I just had to use the bp_core_fetch_avatar() function instead of the get_avatar() one.
So, I had to call the correct function at the correct location and that’s all. Here is what I put in my function.php :

//Make bbpress use the buddypress avatar instead of the wp one
function bbp_get_bp_reply_author_avatar( $reply_id = 0, $size = 40 ) {
                $reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
                if ( !empty( $reply_id ) ) {
                        // Check for anonymous user
                        if ( !bbp_is_reply_anonymous( $reply_id ) ) {
                                //Below is the old line
                                //$author_avatar = get_avatar( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ), $size );
                                //Below is the new line
                                $author_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id) ) );
                        } else {
                               // $author_avatar = get_avatar( get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email', true ), $size );
                                $author_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => get_post_meta( $reply_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email') ) );

                         }
                } else {
                        $author_avatar = '';
                }

                return $author_avatar;
        }
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'bbp_get_bp_reply_author_avatar');

We had this patched and it was working fine, but now the issue returned. Edits to replies are now creating multiple activity feed entries and multiple notification emails.

We’re using:
bbpress Version 2.5.11 (with the patch to activity.php applied)
Buddypress Version 2.7.3

This is what we have in activity.php:

		// Get the activity stream item, bail if it doesn't exist
        $existing = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id );
 		if ( empty( $existing->component ) )
			return null;

Would love some help with this.

1. On bbpress.php change style.min.css to style.css and open style.css and change navbar-brand and add img. Or just edit on bbpress.php line
<a class="navbar-brand" href="<?php echo esc_url(home_url(bbp_get_root_slug())); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a>
2. Only topic, click To front http://prntscr.com/dldaw9

[mtm123]

By the way I am using BBpress only (not buddypress) I just need my forum to be able to call @username linking back to profile. The original topic question is a bit different.

[haddlyapis]

If i go to the forum page http://www.apis.de/forum (then log in) and click on one of the two latest posts then bbpress/wordpress logs me out. If i press Ctrl + F5 then it logs back in. This does not happen when i click on a different post within the topics, but only on the two latest posts.
Please advise

[haddlyapis]

Is there any way to stop caching for the forum only?

[Jon Fergus]

I’m looking for a plugin that will add a simple “like button” for topic replies, but am having no luck on that front without paying for a plugin. This one is the only one I’ve found that works, but the free version only allows 1 button per page. https://wordpress.org/plugins/likebtn-like-button/

Does anyone know of any other plugins that can accomplish this, or any other solutions involving bbpress customization?

[Soulstudio]

Hi,

I’m using my code in functions.php file to store user’s location in the database and to display it on individual user profiles.

function user_profile_bbp_location_information()	{
	$location=bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'location' ) ;
	if ( ! empty($location) ) {
		$label1 =  $rpi_options['item1_label'] ;
		echo "<p>" ;
		printf ( __( 'Location : ', 'bbpress' ));
		echo $location;
		echo"</p>" ;
	}
}
add_action ('bbp_template_after_user_profile', 'user_profile_bbp_location_information') ;

However, I would like to display this value under avatar of each user on topic posts/replies as well. I figured out I need to edit themes/childtheme/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php file but I wasn’t able to make the values appear there.

I know there is a plugin for that but I like to use childtheme + functions.php for whatever I can + I already have working code in place.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

[Robin W]

the code goes in your functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

If you are just after changing the name -then the style pack plugin will let you do this

Hey there, so I’ve seen LOADS of posts about this and the code provided to help you create custom roles that do the same as the others.

Only issue is I don’t know HTML I am a total noob at all of this and in NO POST does it state WHERE to put the HTML code?

Custom Capabilities

This was the guide I was trying to follow and it gives me the following code:

unction add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {

$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role1’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘name 1’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role2’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘name 2’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles[‘my_custom_role3’] = array(
‘name’ => ‘name 3’,
‘capabilities’ => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_dynamic_roles’, ‘add_custom_role’, 1 );

Which is fine

except it doesn’t tell me where to put it? Do I just go to Plugins>edit>bbpress/bbpress.php and stick it anywhere in that big massive box of HTML?

[mikel1980pamplona]

Hello everyone!

I want to do one thing on my bbpress and I’d like to do it without plugins.
Currently my entire forum is full width. In my child theme I included the template “fullwidth-page.php” renaming it as “bbpress.php”.
It worked perfect.
My intention now is to see the sidebar in the whole forum, but in the pages of topics is full width.
I think it improves the user experience. When they see the main page of forum, with the listings of forums, or when they enter a specific forum does not bother the sidebar to see what topics exist. But I would like to remove the sidebar when the user enters a topic or will do anything in it (read it, respond, etc …)

Do you know how I can do this?

If I delete the template I made to remove the sidebar (“fullwidth-page.php” renamed as “bbpress.php”) I get the sidebar in the forum.
But what do I do next to remove the topics sidebar and everything related to them?

Thanks greetings!

[Robin W]

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

[Stephen Edgar]

Apologies, the fix is for bbPress 2.6

[Steveim]

WP 4.7, bbPress 2.6a http://wordpress-6213-13994-191680.cloudwaysapps.com/forums/

Having converted from PHPBB 3.1.10 and run all of the repair functions I am having a few issues with things not being correctly reported.
1. All of the voices counts are set zero.
2. Last activity is incorrect; http://wordpress-6213-13994-191680.cloudwaysapps.com/forums/forum/general-hysterectomy/alternatives-to-hysterectomy/ says forum last updated 4 months ago but topics show from just 2 months ago.

I had to use 2.6a to get the import from PHPBB; should I switch to 2.5.11 now?

[wpviva]

I’m facing a problem related to forum topics. On the listing of forum topics, when I click on any topic in the list, it display the detail page of latest topic. URL is correct but show title and content of latest topic.

WordPress version: 4.5.4
bbPress version: 2.5.8

[adarshmadrecha]

I researched on the BBpress forum and also on google, I found that by using [bbp-topic-tags] shortquote, I can show visitors of my site the tags which are used in all the forums.

But the tags appear all next to each other. Is there any way to display tag with the number of topics besides them. Also, the tags are just shown in a single line. It would be better to have a show in an unordered list. And then sorted according to the number of times topics they have been tagged to.

[adarshmadrecha]

Nice. I am looking forward to this in the next major update of bbpress.

Hello,

Is it available for phpBB 3.1.x?

I tried the script of @hypnoticdan but I don’t have
