Also, I just learnt that if your themes header.php contains lang="en" that will cause issues, see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/unable-to-change-language/#post-179361

If you have WordPress set to use Hebrew you should be able to go to Dashboard -> Updates -> Update Translations and WordPress will download the bbPress Hebrew translations automatically

Hi,

Is it possible to display forums as Recent topic widget in BBpress with Forum name,author name with avatar, and forum created date.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

Actually, you should be able to do this now, I was looking at an incorrect URL.

Finnish is in the API here https://api.wordpress.org/translations/plugins/1.0/?slug=bbpress&version=2.5.11

You should be able to remove the .po & .mo files and then just update your translations from the dashboard (/wp-admin -> dashboard -> updates -> Update translations)

[Stephen Edgar]

When you downloaded those files what options did you select?

You need to select All current to get the “current strings”

p.s. I’ve also just made a request to have bbPress “stable” language packs generated, once this is complete you should be able to download the translations directly from the WordPress updates dashboard, just as you get the translations for WordPress itself.

Keep an eye out for Finnish to show up in the API here

If you mean 2.6 alpha then.

Download from

Download

and save to your computer

Deactivate and delete the existing bbpress plugin – the data will remain

Then install the alpha version by uploading new plugin

and activate

Hi, thanks for getting back.

This is a brand new install. Theme is the standard 2017.
The only plugin is RemoveHowdy It makes no difference if it’s on or off.
I’ve removed bbPress, and reinstalled it again. No difference.

This bit doesn’t happen at all. When I activate it, nothing happens. Nothing in the apache logs. Nothing.

3. Activate bbPress from your Plugins page. (You’ll be greeted with a Welcome page.)
4. Visit ‘Forums > Add New’ and create some forums. (You can always delete these later.)

It’s Apache2. macOS. Runs IPv6 and IPv4 combined. Runs half a dozen other wordpress virtual web sites no problem.
Got me foxed.

[Robin W]

WAMP or server installation ?

ok, suggest

You deactivate, delete and re-install bbpress

If that doesn’t work

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.

If those don’t then either maybe corrupt wordpress/server issue.

[Robert Chalmers]

further to that. From the apache log. The script runs to start with, but next line, gives a 500 error

GET /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.js?ver=2.5.11-6121 HTTP/1.1″ 200 1399
GET /wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=forum HTTP/1.1″ 500 3411

[Robert Chalmers]

Brand new installation. Only other plugin is RemoveHowdy.
Installed bbPress, and activated it … nothing happens.
Go to View Site, and select New -> Forum, and get this error message. Invalid post type. In a white box.

Hi,
I am using bbPress to create a forum for a customer. I use WordPress 4.6.1 and bbPress 2.5.11.
I downloaded the .mo and .po files in my language (Finnish) from this link, changed the file names into:
bbpress-fi_FI.mo and bbpress-fi_FI.po, and moved them to wp-content/languages/bbpress
Eventhough my wordpress site language is Finnish and I have those mo and po file in the folder, the bbpress forum is still in English.

Hi there,

I want to ask if I set a user in WordPress as author and as moderator in bbpress forum, if is correctly to say that he will be able to edit topics and replies of others user?

[vevans2]

Hello,

I am using the shortcode to display a single topic. When a user tries to reply to a reply to the topic, they are directed to the bottom of the page.

I want to nest replies to topics, so that users can respond directly to another user’s response. Is this possible?

I tried the js file revision suggest here but it did not create the desired effect (replying to a user’s reply is still not possible, only replies to the topic).

Thank you for the help.

Hello everyone,
I have a backup of vanilla forum sql 5GB, I would like to import it in my wordpress site, I am trying to use import by bbPress, but without success, maybe the file is too large.

Unfortunately the server as OVH does not allow you to edit the php.ini or the phpmyadmin configurations.

How i can solve it?

[Robin W]

try either :

bbPress Styling Crib

or use my style pack plugin

I activated topic and reply subscriptions today, and the very first email I got was a bounce. I had written a response to someone else’s thread, and apparently, instead of sending it from my usual sending address (as specified in PostMAN SMTP: mail@domain.org) to my admin address (as specified in my profile: m@domain.org), it was sent from and to (!) this weird address: noreply@sudomain.domain.org (case is bbpress on one subdomain site of a MS network). Since I do not receive emails adressed to my subdomain, it was bounced to mail@domain.org.

Using this noreply@ does not make any sense to me, neither for sender, nor for recipient. Can anyone help? bbpress does not allow me to set a sending address, it just defined and used it. That is not good, since my SMTP plugin must have the last word in this. We all know that sending emails via PHPmailer/webserver (default WP behaviour) is unprofessional. And anyway, to send a notification to anywhere else than my profile email does not make sense. This looks very much like a bug, doesn’t it?

WP 4.6.1 (MS install w/subdomains), bbpress 2.5.11, PostMan SMTP 1.7.2, ~40 other plugins

Excerpt from PostMan SMTP’s log (with EDITS):

X-Mailer: Postman SMTP 1.7.2 for WordPress (https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/)
From: SITE NAME <noreply@de.DOMAIN.org>
Sender: mail@DOMAIN.org
To: noreply@de.DOMAIN.org

Hi, I am not an expert so I ask you this question.

I need to increase font-size in bbpress forum in my wordpress site. I installed the plugin Simple Custom Css and add this code

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content {
    font-size: 14px;
}

Nothing happened. Then I changed adding a line

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content {
  display: list-item !important;
    font-size: 14px;
}

Now it works, in the Staging Copy of the site. Can you confirm this is a correct code? Or this code can generate any unexpected issue somewhere?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have 2 forums one active and 300+ members and on with just 20+ members both on xenforo.

We want to move to bbpress.
I migrated the small forum first.I followed all the documentation to import the xenforo forum.Everything went through fine but all the members got tons of notifications once the migration was complete.

Before trying to migrate the larger forum I want to know if there is a way to turn off the notifications during this process.

Regards,
Charlene

Hello guys,
I have already taken the necessary steps to leave the full width of the forum across the screen, but even after putting bbpress.php inside my child theme, the space between of the sidebar and the forum is not in full width

i need help pls

[mychelle.blake]

Hi, I haven’t downloaded BBPress yet but I had one question about the forum capability that I couldn’t find an answer to. We will be using BBPress as forum for an LMS (LearnDash). Will students be able to reply by/receive posts by email, or will they have to go to the forum to read and respond to posts?

Thanks for the info!

[shamr0ck79]

Ok please pardon the dumb question as i am new to bbpress. Ok so i have created a site and have created a page called “forum”. I am using the ultimatum theme framework and i am also using beaverbuilder as a page builder. So i made the layout like a wanted it and added the “[bbp-forum-index]” shortcode. The problem is when you click on a forum it goes to the topic list page and the whole template i was using is gone. Is there a quick fix to this? any help would be greatly appreciated! the page in topic was as follows!

Forum

[vizcano]

i don’t know how to explain this because i don’t know the name of the words in English

The attributes of the topic give me an error only when selecting “destacado” the post get out of the visible area of the page. i made an image to explain my problem better.

thanks

[parminio]

I just installed bbPress and am having an issue. I’ve created 6 forums. I can post topics in a forum I select. The problem is that when I select any forum, I see every topic from every forum listed.

What I would like is to see ONLY the topics that are in the forum I select. Screen shots attached.

Exhibit A:

This is a view of the forums I created. Notice that there is one topic in ‘The Rules’ and one topic in ‘The Trolls’.

Exhibit B:

Now when I select the ‘Off Topic’ forum, where no topics are posted yet, I see the topics from both the other forums listed.

I don’t want that at all. I only want to see the topics that are listed in the forum I select, not all of them no matter what. That defeats the entire purpose of having different forums to post in to begin with.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there,

sorry for posting to a 3 years old thread, but I’m about to do the same, importing mm_forum into bbpress.

Any news if anyone ever progressed on this task? Did anyone do a succesful migration from mm_forum?
