How can I remove the text “BBpress Forum” in my menu? There is no option for it in the menu, and I haven`t found anything useful when Googleing…

Hello,

I’m moving to a new WordPress installation.

However, unfortunately I cannot just export my database. I’m on a host that has a very customized WordPress (I’m with Rainmaker, in case you’ve heard of them). I’m moving to a self-hosted WordPress where I have complete access to the database.

I cannot install any plugins on the old host.

I tried exporting the forums, topics, and replies. But, they are left without being associated to one another.

I’m not sure if it’ll change anything if I export it all at once. There’s a lot of other content, so I wanted to try to do it on its own.

What’s the best way to export my bbpress data so I can import it to my new WordPress installation?

Thanks for your help.

While this post is old, I came across this issue when using XAMPP and found the solution here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/error-are-you-sure-you-wanted-to-do-that-3/#post-142468. Once I updated my theme’s function.php file with the suggested method, all worked correctly for my local XAMPP website instance.

BTW, before adding the fix above, when attempting to create a topic or reply, I did not see any error message, in fact no message at all. The page simply reloaded and left the pending topic or reply text sitting inertly on the screen in front of me…

No idea what a rest API is , but bbpress uses wordpress’s register and login processes, so you can simply use those

I googled

wordpress rest api login

and got

http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/

but there’s a whole site there

I am developing an android app for my wordpress forum. Please is there any way I can create new users and login old ones programmatically? Maybe a rest API or something.

Please you can show the code in php or any language of your choice.

Update WordPress to 4.7 and bbpress to latest 2.5.12.
Also share your screenshot for others to figure out what is going on.

I want to change the layout of the topic when viewing topics on Mobile (i.e. small screens)
Currently is is like shown below

How do I make author appear on top of the post.

PS : I have enabled multithread reply

BBpress: 2.5.12

[adarshmadrecha]

Is the bug still present? I am using 2.5.12, released on December 9, 2016.
And still facing the same problem.

Theme: Avada 5.0.4
Wordpress: 4.7
BBpress: 2.5.7

I like your plugin, but I still have issues.

1). I can’t make my forum introduction sticky.

2). There are few editing options on forums. And users can’t edit from the front-end.

3). My forum has a sidebar within a sidebar. I could not change it, no matter what I tried.

Hi –

I’m getting multiple variations of the following error message –

Notice: Undefined index: link_before in ………..public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php on line 797

(Just wondered if anyone knew of a quick fix before I go disabling plugins, enabling 2016 theme etc, as it causes some ball-ache my end with widgets needing to be setup again etc.)

Thanks if you do 😉

The standaard BBpress searchfunction is very bad,slow, had no options to filter and it looks there is no development on this.

A good searchfunction is so very important for a succesfull forumscript.

After long searching and testing serveral search-plugin i’ve found a good working plugin.
Fast, configurable and ajax.

See the search-plugin in my live website http://www.opel-forum.nl
I use the free version. The pro version has more options.

This is the link to the plugin.

i thought bbpress had a signature option. But after your question what plugin i use for the signature i think it is the signature from Buddypress

How can I use frontend pm with bbpress as a pm system ?

[Wilbur]

Please is there a JSON API for bbPress? If yes how do I access/enable it?

Hello:

I tried to set up a forum on my site. Where do I add new forums? I created a Forum page but I see no options to add forums to any pages. They go to my landing page only. Instructions for setting up a forum aren’t clear enough to me.

Hi, I’m having an issue with how bbpress displays on my website. Im using the divi theme with the latest bbpress plugin and wordpress version.

The border is misaligned on the left and bottom (see link below). I have tried css to fix it but with no luck. I think its to do with the padding. Anyone know how to fix this?

We’re still having this issue — even after updating WP to 4.7 and the latest version of bbPress to 2.5.12. It may be unrelated to the issue fixed in the latest release, but I’m not sure how we can even identify if it’s the same/related issue or something totally different. Any suggestions on what we can do to try to get this resolved (since the updates didn’t do it)? Thanks!

@invoke_media_group – This forum topic does not have anything to do with your issue/problem. So please create a new forum topic for your different issue/problem. Also you should do standard troubleshooting steps first before posting your new forum topic: deactivate all other plugins to see if another plugin is causing the problem, comment out any custom functions you have created in your theme functions.php file, switch your current theme to a WordPress theme: 2017, 2016… When you post a bbPress forum topic you need to include these things: what WordPress version you have installed, bbPress version you have installed and what troubleshooting steps you have already performed.

You should also probably include the relevant code in file: /bbpress/includes/core/template-function.php on line 316 (shown below) and that this function: bbp_get_template_stack() uses this filter: bbp_get_template_stack to Call the functions added to the ‘bbp_template_stack’ filter hook, and return an array of the template locations. There is also a related bug here that appears to have already been fixed: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2871

	// Sort.
	if ( class_exists( 'WP_Hook' ) ) {
		$filter = $wp_filter[ $tag ]->callbacks;
	} else {
		$filter = &$wp_filter[ $tag ];

		if ( ! isset( $merged_filters[ $tag ] ) ) {
			ksort( $filter );
			$merged_filters[ $tag ] = true;
		}
	}

[Invoke_Media_Group]

bbpress is starting to KILL all my sites that have it. I am thinking it is time to REMOVE this from my sites. Now I cannot even access my sites. This is the error code:

Warning: ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, object given in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas06_data03/07/2899307/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/template-functions.php on line 316

Can anyone help?

WordPress 4.7
bbPress 2.5.12
Site: https://forum.ait-pro.com/
Custom bbPress/BuddyPress Theme & tested switching to WP Twenty Seventeen Theme
Tried creating a bug ticket on trac, but was not allowed to login and do so.

Issue: In previous versions of bbPress this code below worked fine in my Theme functions.php file. As of bbPress 2.5.12 this code is no longer working in my Theme functions.php file. I checked output and bbPress Core code and did not see anything obvious. Output was good. ie $role and $caps, but it appeared that the filter was not being processed in time when the Activity template loaded. So I moved this code to the BuddyPress /plugins/bp-custom.php file and this code works fine. So obviously this some kind of init or loading order type of issue. ie the filter is being processed too late.

// bbPress Disable Topic Tags for Participants
function aitpro_get_caps_for_role_filter( $caps, $role ) {
	
	if ( $role == 'bbp_participant' )
		$caps = aitpro_get_caps_for_role( $role );

	return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'aitpro_get_caps_for_role_filter', 10, 2 );

function aitpro_get_caps_for_role( $role ) {
	switch ( $role ) {
		/* Disable Topic Tags for Participants */
		case 'bbp_participant':
			return array(
 
				// Primary caps
				'spectate'              => true,
				'participate'           => true,

				// Forum caps
				'read_private_forums'   => true,

				// Topic caps
				'publish_topics'        => true,
				'edit_topics'           => true,

				// Reply caps
				'publish_replies'       => true,
				'edit_replies'          => true,

				// Topic tag caps
				'assign_topic_tags'     => false, // Using false disables allowing Participants to create Topic Tags

			);
			break;
		default :

		return $role;
	}
}
