Wordpress Version 4.7
bbPress Version 2.5.12

I’m very new to all of this and I just installed and activated bbpress. I’ve searched and I cannot find instructions for connecting a menu item I created “Discussion Forums” to the actual forums. I see that there are slugs and short codes in the settings menu of the dashboard, but I can’t figure out how to make it all work.

Please help. thanks

We actually completely moved away from bbPress. I don’t recall finding a solution to this question.

Hi bbPress,

I am so wondering is there’s any way I can disabled the TOPIC box, but just to have the comment/input box ONLY? That way people can type straight in from the MAIN initial TOPIC.

Although is more well built with the topic, but would it destroy the forum structure or its functionality?

Please advise help, Jimmy

@jarstan ok, I’ve deleted all the posts on the other thread – so let’s run with this one.

I am suspecting you are meaning the ‘login’ ‘register’ etc. links beside the breadcrumb?

If so I suspect that these are being added by another plugin – maybe bbpress login links?

If so, then you need to direct your support question to them.

If not – then come back and I’ll see if I can help further

I’m sure all threads here get noticed, but for some of them we really have no answer.
Just to be correct, not having upvote is not ‘an issue’ but I see your point for this ‘feature request’. I know it has already been discussed but if I understood well, we need to wait for the next major version of bbPress where (thanks to the change to how topics and replies are stored) it might be possible to think of upvoting.
So just to ensure you this did not go unnoticed.
Pascal.

What version of bbPress are you using ? Did you upgrade to the latest 2.5 ?

My WordPress version is 4.7
My website link is http://www.theparadigmshiftgroup.com
I have already searched for my question in bbPress support forum (where I am posting now), there are previous threads on this question but the plugin mentioned at that time is now unsupported now (bbPress like topics, last updated 2 years ago). Another thread on the same topic don’t have reply. So I decided to bring this matter into the attention of bbPress authors again. If bbPress already contains this feature, please let me know as well.

bbPress don’t have a voting up feature built in. So the topics get sorted by just last activity and not popularity. A forum seems incomplete without a voting option for topics and replies.

I tried different plugins for this feature. There are many plugins on voting but they are mostly for WordPress posts, not bbPress topics and replies. Some plugins are able to put a “Vote Up” option above the topic, but it doesn’t help the topics to get sorted based on it. Some plugins only shows “vote up” written and instead of a button. Moreover these plugins only can vote topics and not the replies.

Please also include a feature to show the number of votes besite the topic in feeds. Because people choose which topic to read in the feed page.

I always found this community very helpful. I am sure this issue will get noticed.

One forum only shows as ‘logged out’, the rest ‘logged in’ – very strange

Strange behaviour on bbPress when logged in, but only on a certain Forum. On my site http://www.total-fishing.com there are 6 main forums:

Coarse And Match Fishing
For Sale/Wanted
Match Results
Carp Fishing
Sea Fishing
Fly Fishing.

On For Sale Wanted [ http://www.total-fishing.com/forums/forum/fishing/for-salewanted/ ] only, and none of the others the bbPress Topic Listing page shows the user a Logged Out when they are infact Logged In. To add to this, it only occurs on Page 1 of the Toipic Listings as if you go to Page 2 or onwards it changes to Logged in. You can see this in the screen shots here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4023696/Support/TF-ForumLoginProblem-SS.jpg

The problem is that logged in users wanting to post a new Topic (in this case put something on For Sale) cannot do so as the Create New Topic link and input area does not display unless you go to Page 2. Most users will of course not know this.

Any ideas on what is happening and a fix? Thanks – JJ

date order:

put this in your functions fil :

function rew_date_topic_order( $args ) {
                $args['orderby']='date';
                $args['order']='DESC';  //change to ASC to put oldest at top
                return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args','rew_date_topic_order');

Functions files and child themes – explained !

i know how to create meta desc, but bbpress use in meta dec admin links and other word for topics, and i want only use word from bbp_reply_content for meta desc and automatic generate that.

Hi Bruce,
To change the breadcrumbs have a look here: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#4-turning-off-or-changing-breadcrumbs

If you don’t want to do it yourself, check out plugins like ‘bbP Toolkit’ where you should be able to configure it.

Can’t the DevTeam add an option for Ordering (creation date, last post date, ascending, descending) on the Main bbPress Options? Or add a field “Order” to Topics like they exist to Forums?

[sally]

Hello,

i use WP 4.6.1 and BBpress 2.5.11. I would like to move the Date / Time in Topics (over the Avatar) down under Mentions, like its here in the bbpress forum done?

Thanks

I have just updated to WordPress version 4.7 and bbPress version 2.5.12. I am a web developer creating a site for a client, so the work is only locally on my machine; however, I’ve added the appropriate function to the filter ‘bbp_verify_nonce_request_url’ so that it should be working appropriately (I had to do this to fix the problem that led to this new one). Now, every time I try to post a new topic through the front end (rather than via the WordPress dashboard), the above error appears (“ERROR: Your topic needs a title.”) despite the fact that I have submitted a title. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

If I copy/paste html content to topic content, all html tag appears in text, all quotes are converted to french quotes and content can overflow (link to full image)

I try this below but It doens’t change anything !

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'wptexturize' , 3);
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'wptexturize', 3);

I remove ALL plugins and I erase functions.php !

I also try this :

function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
    $plugins[] = 'paste';
    return $plugins;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins', 'bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text' );

even if I want to permit copy/paste of (filtered) html, just to try, but it doesn’t make any change.

Do you have an idea of what happens?
Thanks.

I have the latest 4.7 version of WordPress and installed the latest bbPress plugin (updated 4 days ago).

When I click on Forums->All forums, in the WP Dashboard, it shows me a full white blank page. Upon typing website.com/forums, it shows a blank page. The newly created forum link website.com/forums/forum/forum is also completely blank. I’ve tried this on two themes – Twenty Sixteen and Twenty Seventeen. Both showed blank page.

I tried creating a new page and pasting [bbp-forum-index] but that gave me the following code as the result:
{{ partial “head.html” . }}
{{ partial “header.html” . }} {{ partial “sidebar.html” . }} {{ partial “post/header-cover.html” . }}
{{ $paginator := .Paginate (where .Data.Pages “Type” “post”) }} {{ range $paginator.Pages }} {{ .Render “summary” }} {{ end }} {{ partial “pagination.html” . }}
{{ partial “footer.html” . }}
{{ partial “foot.html” . }}

Hi,

First, a quick description of the issue:
When using a bbPress Login Widget in combination with Jetpack and its Protect module activated, logging in via the widget will
1. redirect the user to a stand-alone math puzzle page which in turn (whether the puzzle was solved or failed) will
2. redirect to the normal wp-login.php page where the user will have to
3. fill out login credentials and solve another math puzzle again (!) and after submission, the user is
4. redirected to the dashboard instead of back to the original forum page.

So, besides the inconvenience of having to pass the same login credentials twice and solve two different math puzzles, the user will find himself searching for the page he came from, which defeats the whole idea of the login widget…

I found a way to make Jetpack Protect and the bbPress Login Widget work together (by allowing the math puzzle to be inserted directly into the login form in the sidebar) but looking for users to test it in different circumstances like hosting environments, caching plugins etc.

The pull request can be found on https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/5647

The fix is this:

Open the Jetpack file modules/protect.php for editing (can be done in the WordPress plugin editor) and change:
1. line 53 from

add_action( 'login_init', array ( $this, 'check_use_math' ) );

to

add_action( 'login_form', array ( $this, 'check_use_math' ) );

2. line 61 from

add_action( 'login_head', array ( $this, 'check_login_ability' ) );

to

add_action( 'login_form', array ( $this, 'check_login_ability' ), 0 );

(notice the added “,0” there at the end too!)

Next Save, activate Jetpack’s Protect module and add the bbPress Login Widget to your forum sidebar. Then visit your site in an anonymous browser window and test logging in via the widget.

Please share your experiences. Thanks !

Hi team and everybody,

This is my question : How to disable notifications of each new topic ?
When a user create a new topic in bbpress forum each users receive a notification about this new topic.
How to disable that ?

If a user follow a topic he will receive a notification by e-mail but if he doesn’t follow it he doesn’t receive an email.

Thanks for your help and your job.
Regards.

So it looks like a plugin which has an action of Woocommerce “manage_shop_order_posts_custom_column” breaks the functionality to display the name.

As this function is only needed within the admin area I managed it be surrounding the function with “is_admin” and now bbPress works as expected

bbpress Version 2.5.12
wordpress Version 4.6.1
TwentyThirteen-Child theme

You’ll see I don’t know what I’m doing here. What follows is what I tried.

I put the following into my 2013 child theme:
1. a folder titled “bbpress” which contained the following all copied from the bbpress plugin folder:
2. a folder titled “bbpress”
3. a folder titled “css”
4. a folder titled “extras”
5. a folder titled “js”
6. a file titled “bbpress-functions.php

I replaced the top of the bbpress.css file which was in the “css” folder with this:

 /*
Theme Name: bbpress bbpress-child
Theme URI: http://neighborsconnect/neighborsnation/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen-child/bbpress-child/
Description: bbpress-child theme for bbpress
Version: 1.0
Author: Bruce Wilson
Author URI: http://neighborsnation.org/
Template: bbpress-default
Tags: bbpress, bbpress-child
*/ 

Then I increased the font-size for the bbpress forums from 12 px to 20px and other such changes to see if it worked.

Surprise! Surprise! It didn’t work.

What do I need to do to make it work?
