thanks, apologies for the wrong route – after a further check, the title is given by the theme, not bbpress.

but thanks for a solution

The link only works for logged in users, but if I have understood the problem, then if you have FTP capability :

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/single-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

line 21 contains the h1 tag, so you can amend this to what you want

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/single-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[andiganter]

The h1 topic headings in bbpress have the disadvantage that, instead of wrapping to the next line when they are very long, they are squeezed together on the same line (which often happens on mobile devices in particular). What solutions are there for this? All CSS measures have been tried so far without success.

You can reproduce this issue when you go to to this page >> in mobile view.

Thank you so much 🙂

Hey everybody, this is my first time posting here. I’m a developer and I started using bbPress about two years ago to build a forum.

I just published my first plugin, which is a context-aware AI bot that responds to @mentions or specific keywords. It reads the post and gathers information from other topics and replies to users as a specified account.

It just went live on the WordPress plugin repository so I thought I’d share it here. Completely free and open source and whatnot.

AI bot for bbPress

I’m using it on my own forum if you wanted to see it in action. This is my bot user: AI forum bot on Extra Chill

Would love to hear what you think! This is my first-ever published plugin so I’m pretty excited about it.

[Robin W]

hmmm…

Just looked on my test site, and the newest appears at the top, and changes when I add a reply.

I can see yours does not match this.

What other (if any) bbpress related plugins are you using?

[Avinash Patel]

Hi,

On our bbPress forum at: https://greatwaraviation.org/forums/forum/general/

We’ve noticed that **normal topics are correctly sorted by most recent activity**, but **sticky topics stay at the top in the order they were made sticky**, regardless of new replies.

Screenshot for reference: https://prnt.sc/zHWdapMx5Tw5

Is there a way to make sticky topics sort by recent activity as well, or is this the default behavior in bbPress?

Thanks for your help!

This migration process not for the faint of heart! I was never able to complete successfully. I did learn a few things tho.

• Pare down and disable as many plugins as possible before migrating. (especially optimize and cache ones).
• Be ready to disable the entire plugin directory in order to log into site.
• Realize that the activity of uploading files, importing a database, changing configurations, and adjusting dns, can spike shared server resources, leading to unstable and throttled-down results.
• Revel in the miracle of a nicely integrated bbPress/Wordpress install and always take time to break, inhale a deep breath, and appreciate the majesty of life

[Robin W]

ok, so I’ve now had a chance to look at your steps.

Steps 1-4 are fine.

Step 5 is causing the issue. It is not needed as you are on bbpress 2.x, and that holds the data in the posts table. The site should work at this point with no further action. By importing the bbpress1 you will be overwriting the current forums.

So do it again without stage 5 and come back at that part and let us know what is happening.

Hi Robin,

The WordPress/bbPress install and all content is all on one subdomain (feedback.pdxradio.com).

It’s interesting the legacy bb_ tables are still there. I don’t want to touch (delete) them, in case they’re still being used.

[Salvatore Noschese]

Ty so much. Finally bbpress can be installed with fse theme 😄
Very good job. I release a 5* review in wp repo.

[Robin W]

ok, I’d suspect that the bb_ tables are from versions 0.x and 1.x.
In version 2.x, bbpress was migrated to a plugin under wordpress.

I presume that your bbpress forums run on the same website and nit on a sub-domain – can you confirm?

[Mike Witt]

Thanks for the clarification @robin-w. I don’t really understand anything about the WP translation scheme, or exactly when WP changed things so that these notices are shown (when I started seeing them doesn’t seem to jibe with what I can find in the WP trac). Anyway, AFAICT this isn’t in the bbpress trac (though there are similar things there). Should it be there?

Again, I’m fairly confused about this. I’m assuming that not everyone is seeing this, or there would be a lot more complaints about it. I don’t know if that’s because some special circumstances are necessary, or just because nobody has debugging turned on 🙂

it’s not really anyone’s ‘fault’ but bbpress would need to make the change to their code, so yes bbpress is ‘causing it’.

[Chefranov]

Today’s ACF update (6.4.1):
Fix – ACF no longer causes an infinite loop in bbPress when editing replies

[kampot888]

I have the same problem.

Buddyboss is slow to update and has old code, so I want to switch back to BBPRESS.

Buddyboss doesn’t want to export, so they don’t provide a migration tool. For that reason, I don’t recommend it.

[Mike Witt]

@dragoeco, Thanks a lot for posting this. This notice was driving me crazy. Can I ask why you say “bbpress is not causing it.” It seems like this is something that needs to be fixed in bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/loader.php.

I checked it out with QueryMonitor and it didn’t appear that any other plugins were involved, though I’m rather out of my depth here and might be confused.

[packzap]

I’m running the the latest: {bbPress version 2.6.13) / WordPress version 6.8.1}. I’ve been running bbPress for 10 to 15 years, starting with the 0.x versions. I notice when I look at the database in MyPHPadmin there are many tables with the prefix of bb_ and even more tables starting with wsy****_.

So just to review, when we move the bbPress/Wordpress installation from one server to another we do so in these steps?

1. Copy all web files over to new server
2. Copy the database.sql over to new server
3. Edit the first few lines of wp-config.php with the pertinent new database settings
4. Go into the Admin panel of the site and make sure the bbPress plugin is active
5. Then go to Tools, Forums, click the Import forums tab, select Platform, bbPress1 and enter the pertinent database details
6. In the table prefix section be sure to add the prefixes from your database (in my case bb_ and wsy****_, i guess entered as bb_wsy****_?)
7. Click Start, and then fold your hands together and pray the import works 😉

[Robin W]

what version of bbpress are you using?

[packzap]

bbpress just uses wordpress posts and post meta tables and the wordpress use table.

So if you copy the wp-content files, mysql database, bbpress should just work ok

So, does that mean I only need to copy the wp_ files and folders from the old server, not the bb_ ones? And of course, the database.sql.

[packzap]

Since the forum has been running for 10+ years the sql file is pretty huge (250 MB). And I assume the bbPress import function taxes the database server resources too highly and it balks.

I also added bb_ to the import, table prefix section with no luck. I also tried the Repair forums section without success. Sigh!

I guess i will have to try breaking up the database tables into smaller sections and try importing them individually that way. Or sadly, return to the original server.

Has anyone been able to migrate a large bbPress forum database over from one server to another?

[packzap]

I thought I would easily move my bbpress (version 2.6.13) / WordPress (version 6.8.1) installation from one server to another by copying all the files and exporting/importing the sql database file and adjusting wp-config.php.

However after moving everything over I can access the new WP installation, see all the plugins from before (all deactivated), but cannot see or import the bbPress forum.

I activated the bbPress plugin but don’t see any of my previous forum names listed.

In the WordPress Admin dashboard, I went to Tools, Import forums, put in the database settings (platform bbpress1) and clicked import, but it immediately stops on step 1.

Since most of the articles in this forum about moving servers is 10 to 15 years old. Maybe a refresh of an overview on how to do it today would be helpful. If anyone can throw in some ideas, I would appreciate it.

hello guys i install bbpress style pack ,

and i activate moderation

add_action(‘transition_post_status’, ‘send_email_on_post_approval’, 10, 3);

function send_email_on_post_approval($new_status, $old_status, $post) {
if ($old_status === ‘pending’ && $new_status === ‘publish’) {

if ($post->post_type === ‘reply’) {
// Déclenche les notifications pour une réponse
do_action(‘bbp_new_reply’, $post->ID, $post->post_parent, $post->post_parent, $post->post_author);

} elseif ($post->post_type === ‘topic’) {
// Déclenche les notifications pour un sujet
do_action(‘bbp_new_topic’, $post->ID, $post->post_parent, $post->post_author);
}
}
}

why i dont receive the email from the post type topic ? (replies work normally )

thanks

Update – I have a BBPress forum (2.6.13) set up on WP (6.8.1), using BBP Style Pack (6.3.0) – and it is fantastic!

I find that I need to have ‘Enable advanced FSE theme support’ selected or my forums disapear from the site! They are ‘private’ forums, which may or may not be relevant.
