Hello.

I have a problem with the bbpress sidebar. I use bbpress wp tweaks to create a widget area for bbpress. Thats ok.
But: When i create a forum mainpage i dont have a chance to use this sidebar. I only have the choice to use sidebar left and right, but that would show the blogsidebar.
What can i do to use the widget area for bbpress on sites. Link: https://myblender.de/blendtec-forum/

I’m using bbPress Moderation plugin,

Setting
Anonymous topics and replies: Always moderate topics checked

When moderator publish the topic, IP of topic will change to moderator’s IP.
Is that possible to leave original anonymous author’s IP?

It is a known issue, see https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2357

HI, Looking for my forum. Don’t know where to look. I set it up.

[John Antonacci]

I would agree I have it installed (from previous wp version) and now ‘forums’, ‘topics’ and ‘replies’ are missing from dashboard sidebar.

wp 4.6.1
bbpress 2.5.10

[pauldamas]

WP version = 4.6.1
bbPress version = 2.5.10

It seems bbPress version doesn’t work with WP 4.6.1. When I activate the plugin, nothing happens !

Do you plan an update ? When ?

Thank you very much for your feedback !

The bbpress.org and buddypress.org sites are 100% open source 🙂

You can find all the links and info needed here: https://bbpress.org/blog/2014/03/open-sourcing-bbpress-org/ and https://buddypress.org/2014/03/open-sourcing-buddypress-org/

I have it working now, and there is still a big problem a can’t solved.

When i convert a big phpbb forum to bbpress the relation between post and author get lost.

Pleas help me with this big problem

Has anyone else successfully configured the bbpress search to include WordPress pages? Thank you.

@Robin W Clear and loud.

Regarding you point #2 I respect your opinion even if as a user I have a completely different POV 🙂
I strongly believe in a tool like a forum and I’ve been migrating my contents (some of them 15 years old) through several products because “content is the value”.
In my experience (I’m not a php software developer but I’m a content creator) plugins has been a PITA since my first phpBB forum and the main culprit to CMS maintenance and upgrade.
While I’m sure that WordPress will not disappear in few years I cannot swear for sure on each plugin. What will happen when a plugin I used throughout all my site will not be upgraded because the developer went on Mars? I became very careful to choose my plugin since it happens several times in my life.
Of course I do not pretend that wp or bbpress should have everything in their core but imho it’s really strange that to have the most basic features for a modern forum I need to install several plugins. (my old thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/some-question-before-migration/#post-173383)
The most perused sentence about bbpress is “bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress”. It communicate me an assurance on the quality and stability of the product. In other words: we are here to stay. On the other hand, being so plugin dependent you communicate to me exactly the contrary and I’m scared.

End of the rant/Looking forward to see 2.6

Hello
when I want to restore a message in the trash that does not work, it returns me to the next page.

Thank you for your help

Is there necessary edits on file or css just to follow how the bbpress.org site is implemented?

[antoinemayer]

Hi everyone 🙂

I want my bbPress threads to be automatically marked as “solved” if the question (first message) gets 50 upvotes (yeah, I know that’s weird) and the upvotes/downvotes to get blocked. Yet, I want the thread to remain “open” even while it is solved, allowing users to keep on writing answers.

Is there some code (something like “if $upvotes>=’50’ { $threadStatus=’Solved’ };”) I could use to achieve that?

I’m about to post this same issue. Getting it as well. His screenshots perfectly represent my experience as well. Was this a BuddyPress or bbPress issue in the end?

[themichaelglenn]

Alright, I probably didn’t do this in the best way, but I figured out how to “fork” your github code and create a separate branch but it’s under my username (I didn’t know if it’s okay to just go creating branches in someone else’s repository, so I just set up in my own):

https://github.com/themichaelglenn/bbpress-vbulletin-permalink/tree/no-f-s-or-id-s-in-forums

Again I need to make clear that I do not know what I’m doing – but whatever I did is working on my localhost and on my test site (which site will only be up long enough to test everything on an actual server, so no link to that site, sorry)

I don’t know if I would still get the topic URLs forum/forum-name/ID-topic-name if I kept removing more code, to get it down to where we were only rewriting the topic URLs? I’d like to try that but I don’t know how much more I can remove before the plugin just stops working altogether.

[AndroidAvenger]

Could someone please confirm whether we could set-up multiple levels of security on a BBpress Forum?
For example, approved users can post new topics and reply to topics on one board but only read topics on another board?

Example:
Forum Topic 1: Marvel Games (anyone can post) in this area
Forum Topic 2: Known Bugs (only moderators can post in this forum, or people with special permissions)

Many thanks for any advice.

For beginners use a plugin like widget logic.

That piece of the guide I wrote was a simple approach to creating a bbPress only sidebar for a default theme, it needs to be explained more for beginners, and requires some theme dev knowledge.

[Robkk]

@mimbelli

I am going to sum it up really quick why bbPress is taking so long.

bbPress has few contributors to the plugins core.

Less contributors > Less contributions > Longer release time

While it would be better to have.

More contributors > More contributions > Shorter release time

We have to get more developers interested in the project somehow to get more contributors and contributions.

[Robkk]

Is this related to bbPress somehow?? Are you even using bbPress??

[Robkk]

@evanevans333

It seems that’s all we got to work with. Participant role is not supposed to be for wordpress Subscribers apparently. You need to become something else, to read topics and replies inside forums marked private, and I guess shouldn’t mark a forum private with bbPress unless it’s supposed to be private for Moderators and Administrators.

That seems so … ridiculous if you pardon my French. That Forum Roles are not for forum privacy, but more for Forum administrative privacy.

You are probably experiencing a bug, or just some issues with your current configuration, private forum should be for logged in users only. Also a specific forum for mods and admins might be a hidden forum.

Im skimming through the topic right now, but I will look at this topic more tomorrow morning and see if I need to report any issues.

What I say that we do is try to fix the private forum issue in bbPress by default without using Robins plugin for now, then when its fixed you can decide to use it later if you want to.

Run the repair tools one at a time in Tools > Forums. There are a few that are definitely helpful like repairing private forum relationships.

Editing user role caps for some users could cause issues as well, so we might need to refresh each roles caps, and remap the default ones to users.

that I am supposed to set their privacy to Public and use some kind of FORUM PRIVACY plugin to make sure the content doesn’t get leaked out to Google and anonymous web surfers.

If you want a forum for only logged in users setting a forum or parent forum private will do that. Other niche privacy features could be obtained through plugins.

Now, the issue moving forward is, that topic and reply activity that go on inside those forums, is not properly being set to Private and so those Activities are showing up in widgets and shortcode locations and archives as public information

Do you want all your forums to be private? It might be better to put anything bbPress as members only content, like just block off sections of your site to only members using a different type of plugin.

If you do want some forums to be public, then I guess we can use some conditionals for some widgets to display different widgets for logged in users and those who are not. Like say the recent replies widget, I would display only replies from public forums to users not logged in in one widget, and display all replies to users who are not logged in another. If you do want to use Robins plugin, he does have custom widgets in it, but that is if you want group forums.

[Robkk]

Sorry never posted the solution.

This might be before I was even a moderator.

But for anyone that might come across the same issue.

This was related to an issue that happens when enabling threaded replies and some CSS that absolutely positions the author avatar.
