Ok, so I played around a lot with my site: changing the theme, disabling plugins, etc. etc. and nothing made any difference. So I went to my staging subdomain, stripped everything down to a basic wordpress install; created a child theme linked to twentysixteen; uploaded your reply.js file; then installed bbpress; added a single topic, and went to that topic to test the reply. The reply functioned exactly as it does on our site: i.e. click “reply” and the page reloads, and the user is brought to the reply-form.
I don’t know what else to think of this. The reply.js file you gave just doesn’t seem to change anything. Any ideas what’s going on? Did I put it in the wrong place or something? Do I need to add something somewhere else to make sure that js is activated ???
I’m at a loss for what to do here.
My project involves using WordPress Multisite for 10, possibly more, sites in subdirectories using the same host.
The domain is the umbrella for the organization with each site being a division of the organization each containing multiple Categories, Subcategories, Sub-sub-categories, Topics, Subtopics etc etc sharing a common userbase for single login.
What I need is to have each division/site to have it’s own BBpress forum each containing multiple Categories, Subcategories, Sub-sub-categories, Forums, Sub-forums Topics, Subtopics etc etc sharing a common userbase for single login.
Is this possible to do with BBpress?
All suggestions appreciated.
It works fine for me, remember to use a topic tags id instead of a name.
[bbp-single-tag id=$tag_id] – Display a list of all topics associated with a specific tag. eg. [bbp-single-tag id=64]
https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/
To find a topic tags id, you can go to Topics > Topic Tags in the WordPress backend, then edit a topic tag and look at the url. You should see something like this. You can also hover over each edit link and look at the bottom left and see the same url appear. You will see tag_ID=(number).
yoursite.com/wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=topic-tag&tag_ID=4&post_type=topic&…
To make it easier to find an ID of a post, tag, user, you can also install the Reveal IDs plugins to add a column to tables that show the ID.
I saw you also posted in the BuddyPress forums. If by any chance you are also using BuddyPress, you can activate the groups feature which works with bbPress to have group forums. BuddyPress is a really handy tool to use for great LMS sites.
Bundle bbPress+BuddyPress up with this plugin and you would have to do less work that you would have to with Robins plugin. This plugin sets up a course to a group, and forums to each group you create automatically.

You might want to check out BuddyBoss and their other products as well, because I think they are working on other plugins/themes for bbPress+BuddyPress and Sensei.
I’m trying to use this shortcode and it’s not working. I saw this issue was reported several times by the past and it seemed to be resolved but it’s still not working for me.
I think this was the original ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1948
I want to achieve the same comportment – get a list of topics classified under a specific topic tag. Is there a way I can get the shortcode to work OR could you help me code a workaround?
Thanks in advance!
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
$registerdate = $user->user_registered;
echo date(“Y-m-d”, strtotime($registerdate));
in this code please provide full code with bbpress user id
there we can print actual date
Are you using the visual editor?? I’m just wondering if this issue is only caused for users with the copying a sites text into the visual editor.
If you are, I might as well create a trac ticket for bbPress to use a paste plugin from tinymce.
Hi,
I am new to bbpress and configured but when i am copying from other site to my site..it shows HTML TAGS.
Please guys help me as i am not programmer.
Please help i am stuckup.

Hi,
If you could export data from your Discourse into RSS feeds, I think you could use WPPipes and its add-on to import into bbPress on WP site.
Best Regards!
You’d need to first get the Discourse database converted to MySQL (I think it’s Postgres?)
Once that’s taken care of a custom importer script could be created
Custom Import
I don’t know of anyone that has tried the above, but that method should work

I didn’t find anything in there about modifying the languages file (bbpress.pot).
This thread seemed promising but it left too many questions unanswered: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-language-files/
What else have you got, Pascal?

Just realized that this issue is actually a bit different than I stated above. When an admin or keymaster on our site copy/pastes into a reply to a topic, the reply formats properly. When a regular member (contributor or participant) copy/pastes the exact same thing, the formatting shows up *both* in the reply itself on the topic and in the notification email. See here:
So then, of course, the notification email from the participant member includes the formatting marks as well. So the issue is actually somewhere between pasting into the “visual” button of the reply form and bbpress posting the reply after the member clicks “submit”.
When someone makes a reply to one of our topics, the automatic emails sent to subscribers of the topic contains style formatting that makes it very difficult to read.
This is an example from a recent reply:
<p class="MsoNormal">“The two schools of Buddha's doctrine, the esoteric and the exoteric, are respectively called the ‘Heart’ and the ‘Eye’ Doctrine. Bodhidharma called them in China — from whence the names reached Tibet — the <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Tsung-men</span> (esoteric) and <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Kiau-men</span> (exoteric school). It is so named, because it is the teaching which emanated from Gautama Buddha's <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">heart</span>, whereas the ‘Eye’ Doctrine was the work of his head or brain. The ‘Heart Doctrine’ is also called ‘the seal of truth’ or the ‘true seal, a symbol found on the heading of almost all esoteric works.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Secret Heart" is the esoteric doctrine.</p>

This happens when people copy/paste into their reply from another program (i.e. Word, etc.). How can we strip this formatting in the emails?
Details: we’re using the TinyMCE editor for replies, with “Text” and “Visual” field options. If members paste into the “text” field and then switch to the “visual” field before posting, there’s no issue, as wordpress cleans the content itself. But if people paste into the visual field, the formatting remains and gets sent as part of the auto email.
Also, we’re currently running bbpress 2.5.10 and WordPress 4.6.1.
We have been using Discourse for forum, but plan to move to a full WP house.
Is there an importer to import content (topics/discussions/users) from Discourse to bbpress ? (I do know that the world is moving in the opposite direction, but we want a single unified experience for the members).
TIA.
I am trying to get bbPress to work with a theme that doesn’t have support for/within bbPress, and can fake it using custom Admin-created pages and shortcodes, and would also like to know this.
I just think BBPress is a bullshit and not working great if we have many category …
It could be a somewhat common CSS related issue where buttons have white text color in a theme.
Try this custom css to see if it fixes it. Place the custom css in a custom css plugin or in a child themes style.css file.
This is just an example and you might need additional css if the button background color changes on hover to something dark as well.
#bbpress-forums .wp-editor-container .button {
color: black;
}
Using v.2.5.10 of bbpress and v.4.6.1 of WordPress.
Canvas v.5.11.2
WooFramework v.6.2.8
Has anyone seen this before (page is not live yet, so I can only link to a screen shot)
https://www.evernote.com/l/AB6XG24Bc4FPi5WEsmEsm03JZB9jYlXURvc
I turned the “Add toolbar & buttons to textareas to help with HTML formatting” setting off and then on again. No change.
It works fine in Twenty Sixteen, but I’m a little baffled as to how to troubleshoot further — Isn’t Canvas a super pared down theme? What might I be doing wrong with it?
Thanks
I personally do not need login info, because I think I know exactly what you are talking about. I am not sure who redacted your info, but know that it was to protect your site from untrusted users.
What you are looking for is already part of bbPress, its just that the js code that it uses doesn’t quite work for all browsers, and only in IE.
To fix the issue, you can create or copy the existing reply.js file in a folder called js that should be in the root of your child theme that consists of the new code that is in a trac ticket that fixes this issue.
This guide will help with what you would need to do with the js file.
Basically you create a folder called js in your child theme. And just place the new reply.js file.
https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/
Here is the code for the file. You can also just download the file.

Ideally you should be using a child theme for your custom bbPress templates. That way you don’t have to worry about this issue 🙂
Take a look on the docs codex for some help with getting started with custom templates:
https://codex.bbpress.org/?s=child+theme
With that said though, here is a link showing the changes from 2.5.9 to 2.5.10, it’s a single change to includes/users/template.php, and is quite important you upgrade your templates with this change.
Hopefully some of the links on our codex docs page will help get you started:
Codex
There are a few guides in the codex that might help.
Are there any specific things you want to know how to customize??
Customize is such a broad term, and relating to bbPress it can go from creating code snippets, installing plugins, to styling, to adjusting the bbPress theme to your needs in a child theme, or just creating a custom theme/theme package all together.
