Pascal,

I am looking for a way to export all forums, topics, and replies from one bbPress to import to another. I went to the forum page, but I don’t see an export or import button. I have looked all around the rest of the admin area and don’t see anything regarding a bbPress export or import. I found a few places that recommended this plugin, but I don’t have any clue how to use it.

Thanks, Seth

Use a groups plugin or some membership framework plugin.

For Groups

BuddyPress (There might be a plugin to autoassign users to groups during registration, tons of extensions for groups feature specifically)

Private Groups

Groups with bbPress extension plugin

For membership {you might come across an issue using these plugins, but Robin has a plugin that will fix that called WPfix1 and WPfix2, search the forums}

S2member

Paid memberships pro with bbPress extension

There are probably other plugins that I either do not know or haven’t listed that work with bbPress. So do a search and see what works best for your site.

Can I ask a second question:
How does BBpress send emails. (need to tell my IT guy here at the company.)

[senatorman]

i understand what you say and do that exactly
removed al mods and use a basic pbpbb 3.1.9 database
I use for all the latest verions

-bbpress 2.6 alpha
-phpBB 3.1.9
-phpBB Converter file 5795

As i said earlier in this topic, there is a problem with the latest version of the phpbb converter https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php?rev=5795

After converting all the passwords, at the beginning converting posts or topics i there is an error.

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool, hopefully that will fix any issues, and we switched wordpress.org/support to bbPress 2.6-alpha a couple of weeks ago 🙂

[milliways2650]

I am running phpBB 3.1.9 and bbPress 2.5.10

As I am still a relatively new WordPress user, and have never used bbPress, I installed the latest version, but I normally avoid alpha and beta software.

As this is an offline installation for learning/experimentation I guess there is no risk so will try 2.6

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you using bbPress 2.5.10 or 2.6 alpha from https://bbpress.org/download?

If you’re not using 2.6 alpha that “could” be the issue, it’s updated for the latest phpBB 3.1.x branches, the 2.5.x only supports phpBB 3.0.x branches

(Plus 2.6 alpha has lots of extra improvements)

Hi

I’m new to bbPress and have got the basic functionality working but I am having problems with the language pack.
The one I downloaded said 100% and I dug around the files and saw the corresponding translations for different parts. However, it is not being reflected on the site. Well it is partially but not fully.

View post on imgur.com

As you can see, only parts of the forum is being translated and looking through the PO file, I could see everything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

[wolfpup64]

I really dig the look and execution on the face of the Support area of the wordpress.org sites, with forums delineated on one side and support threads from all the different forums displayed on the other. It is in fitting with the design I am trying to achieve for my current project and I haven’t seen it elsewhere.

Anyone have a direction to look in for a setup similar?

I’m new to this wordpress website building stuff, so please excuse all current and hopefully not much future ignorance.

Cheers,
Andrew

Robin made the plugin awhile ago. bbPress devs made a fix awhile ago, but slated it into 2.6 instead of a 2.5 point release.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2607

[Robkk]

Install the other wpfix 2 plugin. It should have the same code snippet you are trying to use, without having to place any code anywhere.

I recommend users who are beginners to not edit bbPress core files. Or any other plugin/theme/wordpress core files unless you know exactly what you are doing code wise.

[Robkk]

Okay, yeah this site does have an interesting layout.

http://eat.at/swap/forum1/251729_Help_Need_recipe_for_fig_jam_ASAP

From what I can see real quick.

Your not going to edit the loop-single-reply.php file like @netweb suggested, because after clicking the reply title link you are redirected to a normal layout single reply. So to get this layout you are going to edit content-single-topic.php, remove the pagination, and place a custom template instead of loop-replies..php so that you won’t mess with replies in a forum profile.

<?php if ( bbp_has_replies() ) : ?>

	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>

	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'replies' ); ?>

	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Replace the above code with this for example.

<?php if ( bbp_has_replies() ) : ?>

	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'classic-threads' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

The code that will be in loop-classic-threads.phpwill be a copy of loop-replies.php and a very minimal loop-single-reply.php. Wherever say <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-reply' ); ?> is called in the new loop-classic-threads.php file, I would just copy the whole loop-single-reply.php template where that get template function was and keep only the code you need.

The code that is going to be in the area you put the loop-single-reply.php code is only going to have the username, date, maybe the reply positions, and reply title. The reply title is going to mostly come from a customized version of the bbPress reply title plugin. But you are going to output the reply title in the template as a link. A link (I think bbp_reply_url() is the right function ) to the single reply template, which is only 1 reply isolated, which bbPress can do.

Does this help enough??

I’m gonna see if I can recreate most of this layout later

Hi Robkk

Thanks for the reply. I just uploaded and activated the wp4, but no luck. The first post does still not show.

I cannot find that “show lead function”, can you help me navigate to that?

I go to dashboard -> editor -> “select plugin to edit”-> bbpress …. and then where do I go? I was looking in most of the .php files there but couldn’t locate it.

Kind Regards,
Peter

Have you tried the solutions in this topic. I think your issues are kind of similar.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-post-not-showing-3/#post-177978

[Robkk]

You did try Robins plugin right. I think this plugin was created to solve this exact issue that might occur when using membership plugins. It mainly fixes a bug in bbPress that is triggered using these plugins.

http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix/

There is also this which basically includes the show lead function in the plugin, that is still here.

Hi Pascal, thanks for the extensive help.

#1 : none of my keymaster can see the forum’s item in the admin panel. I still tried the demote/promote manipulation and it didn’t change anything.

#2 : I didn’t do it earlier so I deactived all the plugins aside from bbpress (I only tried a theme switch) and it reappeared as if by magic! I don’t know what was the initial cause…

#3 : wouldn’t have worked as there was no Forums setting

anyways, thanks a LOT! take care

There are some woocommerce extensions for membership plugins.

Here is one by Woo that has compatibility for bbPress.

https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-memberships-bbpress-integration/

Do some research on this, and find a plugin that works for you, I know there are plenty of them. I do not have a personal opinion on this so I can’t say what is the best plugin to use.

[Robkk]

This is a common issue while using bbPress and activating TInyMCE. Not all html tags and attributes are unrestricted for every participant.

You can download this plugin and edit the function and add on to it what html tags you want to allow in your forums. There is an example for tables in the plugin, you will need span style.

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7797990

[Robkk]

Its not really. But are these emails specifically from the notify plugin or bbPress??

Do you still have your issue.

[Robkk]

Maybe consider giving this a try since you have the Canvas theme.

[athletebydesign]

I have installed the bbPress plugin but when I go to my site http://www.athletebydesign.com/board/ I get the following message:

Search for: Home › Board Forum Topics Posts Freshness Admin & New 0 0 No Topics

Any suggestions?

thanks!
Jeremy

Did you try to switch of the main one ? https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#4-turning-off-or-changing-breadcrumbs

[Pascal Casier]

Hi, did you try to import in bbPress 2.6 ? It’s already pretty stable and if you start from scratch anyway, it might be a good idea as it has much better import capabilities.
You can find the 2.6 on https://bbpress.org/download/
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Good afternoon,
This is more WordPress related I think, because bbPress is using the WordPress environment for authentication. Just check that on your /wp-admin page, under ‘Settings -> General -> Membership’ you have the ‘Anyone can register’ correctly checked.

Hi, email sending issues are almost never an issue of bbPress, so I doubt there is anything to fix on the bbPress side.

First things to note:

• Spam filters tend to put emails into spam if your site is e.g. ‘www.example.com’ but you have defi­ned your admin email (Settings > Gene­ral) as ‘admin@g­mail.com’
• By default, you do NOT receive emails for your own topics/replies, only if some­body else replies on your subscri­bed topics

Make sure you are subscri­bed:

• To receive the email for new topics, make sure you are subscri­bed to the forum
• To receive the email for new replies, make sure your are subscri­bed to the topic
• Use tools like bbP Manage Subs­crip­tions to check and fix indi­vi­duals or run Topic Subs­cribe to fix in one go.

Check that WordP­ress emails are working:

• Make sure to check your spam/junk email
• Do you correctly receive emails when new posts are publi­shed or any other emails from the site ? If not, try any plugin to check emails (https://word­press.org/plugins/check-email/)

bbPress v2.5.x email sending:

In its current version, bbPress is sending out 1 message for every user subscribe to a forum or topic. This could be seen as spam­ming

If all the above is fine, then it might be another plugin or a theme issue:

• Deac­ti­vate all plugins except bbPress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
• If deac­ti­va­ting the plugins did not solve, as a test switch to a default theme such as twen­ty­fif­teen, and see if this fixes.

Pascal.
