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

@p4r4norm4l

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.

[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.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
First check is always to see if another keymaster can still see the bbPress parts. If so, ask him/her to demote and promote you again as keymaster. If you are the only keymaster, create a new account, make keymaster and try the operation from there.

If that didn’t help then try these actions:

If you have already deac­ti­ved all plugins except bbPress and swit­ched to a default theme and you still do not see ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’ and/or ‘Replies’, then please try this in Settings > Forums (check after every step if you find the options back on your dash­board):
– ‘Set­tings > Forums’ : (de)acti­vate ‘Ano­ny­mous post­ing’, save, (de)acti­vate it again to get back to your origi­nal setting, save
– ‘Set­tings > Forums’ : (de)acti­vate ‘Auto role’, save, (de)acti­vate it again to get back to your origi­nal setting, save
– Deac­ti­vate the bbPress plugin, then reac­tive the bbPress plugin
– ‘Tools > Forums > Repair Forums’ : Remap exis­ting users to default forum roles, click ‘Repair Items’ (WARNING: Make sure to have multiple admins in case the keymas­ter role would disap­pear from one account)

Pascal.

[haddly]

users signed up to our forum topics are not receiving email notifications when a new post is made. This does not seem to matter if it is a post to start a new topic or a post within an old topic. As this was working previously, can you tell me if BBpress is fixing this please?

[pslarsen_wp]

Hi all

I’m using bbpress together with paidmembershipspro and I have the same problem. My first post in each forum can only be seen by the admin.

I tried to find the $show_lead function, but it seems that the bbpress team have removed it.

I have also tried enabling and disabling various plugins along with updating all “Relationships to Repair”. Nothing works.

Anyone who have an idea of what might be going on?

Kind Regards,
Peter

Hi,
I’ve installed bbpress and created forums and topics but now I just saw that all trace of bbpress disapeared from WP-Admin.
The forum is still live and works flawlessly but I no longer have any means of creating new forums or other admin tools.

I saw some hints of solutions that tells to repear through the forum in Tools but even there it’s unavailable.

Any idea ?

[milliways2650]

I have setup WordPress on a computer (Raspberry Pi3 running Ubuntu MATE 16.04) and it is working.

I installed bbPress and am trying to import my phpBB Forum http://binnie.id.au/BulletinBoard/index.php

It is unclear exactly what I need to enter in the “Import Forums” dialog.
I have tried many different options. I am assuming that this is asking for MySQL details.

My CPanel reports
Server: Localhost via UNIX socket
Server type: MySQL
Server version: 5.5.48-cll – MySQL Community Server (GPL)
Protocol version: 10
User: iabi1038@localhost
Server charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

MySQL® Databases shows

iabi1038_phpb1 2.32 MB iabi1038_phpb1

I have tried

Database Server binnie.id.au
Database Name iabi1038_phpb1
Database User iabi1038_phpb1
Table Prefix phpbb_

This chugs along, with no obvious errors, except it seems to find nothing.

See the menus used here on both bbPress.org/forums and BuddyPress.org/support:

These are both menus, both use said “parent” menu items to arrange the items, both these menus are open source and pretty good examples and slightly different of how you can add bbPress and BuddyPress functionality to menus

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-org/toolbar.php

Take a look around and look out for “parent” and see what you find…

If you’re using any phpBB mods this might cause issues.

You also need to make sure you use bbPress 2.6 alpha, which includes all the changes required , you cannot simply copy the changed phpBB.php file to a different bbPress version.

To use the most up to date phpBB importer use bbPress 2.6-alpha as I pointed out, if you have to use the old phpBB version use bbPress 2.5.10.

But as I’ve said, there are huge improvements to the phpBB importer in 2.6-alpha so updating phpBB to the latest version is my recommendation.
