This is fantastic @idlamalif, I’ve added it to https://bbpress.org/about/examples/

When using a translated bbpress, some titles in the WordPress Admin Dashboard for “Right Now in Forums” are missing. Where can I check this in the code?

Here is a screeshot http://prnt.sc/ccs85f

Using bbPress 2.5.10-6063

[mglasser]

I am sorry, but I cannot recall the fix for this. Our web site security is sort of messed up and cobbled together, but it is working now. I think “bbpress Advanced Capabilities” plugin is the one that lets me alter the view_private_topics and view_private_replies for an individual use. And I do have to use this for manually created users.

I am not sure that I did anything to edit a role, but again it has been so long I could be wrong. Part of me feels like it fixed itself with plugin and/or WP version updates.

FYI, a few months later I had these same symptoms with version 4.4 of WP, which was solved by switching the forums from Private to Public, saving it, and then switching it back. And doing that for every forum.

Good luck.

Any progress on this? I am having this problem, and I am using the latest version of bbPress. Also at this point, bbPress Advanced Capabilities, nor Capability manager Enhanced, nor Members, nor any other Role Editor, will allow me to edit the Participant role.

Hi –

(For our forums here – http://www.zetaunit.com/forums/ – W.P. V 4.5.3, using Avada 4.02)

I see in the documentation that it is possible to replace the default bbpress wordpress template for

the Forum Root Slug ‘Forums’

by adding a page in WordPress called /forums/

and then inserting the bbpress shortcode for forum archives.

I tried this also with ‘forum’ for individual forums, and I see other Slugs available in Settings > Forum

Single Forum Slugs

Custom slugs for single forums, topics, replies, tags, views, and search.

Forum
Topic
Topic Tag
Topic View
Reply
Search

Am I missing something, or is there a simple way to replace each of the pages used by bbpress by default, just by creating pages named e.g. ‘topic’, ‘topic-view’ etc? And then insert the relevant shortcode for that content?

It seems like ‘it should be there’ but can’t find documentation apart from customising my child theme etc.

Thanks in advance 🙂

[kgroneman]

I’m looking into installing bbPress. I would like to know how many levels of sub-categories are supported? For example if I were to set up forums for various products I’m thinking of something like this, with some even having more sub levels:

[Category X]
[Product A]
[Installation]
[Administration]
[Product B]
[Installation]
[Administration]
[Category Y]
[Product C]
[Installation]
[Administration]
[Product D]
[Installation]
[Administration]

Thanks in advance

I’ve downloaded te latest version of the phpbb.php importfilefrom:

When i run the converting i get this error:

my problem is I using a page called “forums” for index [bbp-forum-index] with sidebar left.
it works great until I click the breadcrumbs home/forums/……. to goback to forums.
then Im getting the url version with no sidebars.

my page details:
forums
siteurl/forums/

bbpress setting no changed still

Forum Root = forums
Forum Prefix =ticked
Forum root should show =forum link

[MalMac]

Continuing on….

In my themes function.php file I have the following which creates my thumbnail:

	// /bbpress/templates/default/content-single-forum
	add_action('bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'pym_print_featured_image_single_forum', 11);
	add_action('bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'pym_print_forum_description', 12);
	
	function pym_print_featured_image_single_forum() {
		if (has_post_thumbnail()) {
			echo '<div class="pym-bbp-topic-thumbnail">';
			echo get_the_post_thumbnail(null, 'thumbnail' );
			echo '</div>';
		}
	}

I have been calling this elsewhere in my template using ”

 <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>

I am now trying to edit content-single-forum.php to call this thumbnail using the following:

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

How do I go about getting the thumbnail to be called in the loop?

Thanks, Malcolm

Thanks @robkk I added that css and it ended up removing the entire bbpress topic widget. I’ll have to keep thinking of way 🙁

[Stephen Edgar]

Maybe try deleting any bbpress-es_ES.po files, and then get new translations by going to http://example.com/wp-admin/update-core.php and click “Update Translations”

[Robkk]

I think your looking for an unread posts plugin. There are quite a few you can use for bbPress.

bbPress Pencil Unread

bbPress Mark as Read

bbPress New Topics

bbPress unread Posts v2

bbPress go to first unread post

I personally like bbPress Pencil Unread, because with a few lines of custom css I can either have the new label or a custom image before the forum/topic title like in the other plugins. And because it has a template tag to include a mark all as read button somewhere. Other users like mark as read as it is close to vBull functionality and the go to first unread post plugin as its close to phpbb functionality. You probably would just need to use Unread Posts v2.

[rateyourway]

Ok i see but I still don’t know how to be able to change it.

in the forum index it appears:

FORO TEMAS ENTRADAS REFRESCAR

but when you click on a forum topic then it works fine:

DEBATE USUARIOS PUBLICACIONES ÚLTIMO MENSAJE

Último mensaje is the correct! but not refrescar…maybe i will wait for bbpress 2.6 🙂

[Anonymous User 15109858]

Hey there.
I’m trying to figure out if it possible to make a forum application with tables to fill information in, and then later on proceeded into the forums within a post created.
As in a post created by a user in which he fells the tables with the needed information.

I would be greatly appreciated with any help!

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Eric,
This issue is already reported in https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2677. A first patch is available so people are working on it to get it fixed in one of the next versions.

I import an SMF forum BBPress but imports still hangs, I have read that the matter must go line by line to identify the line that has an error but what is the line?

— 255 -256 topics

This is the topic that crashes import 256 or 256 is the line of the table topics SQL

Thank you in advance and sorry for the English

Hello everybody, I am looking for information to redesign my website.

I look for an option that is found on many message but I do not find this one in bbpress.

This option allows to display a small icon in front of the topics when new mail response is a kind of visual notification on the forum.

This option is available on bbpress it?

Thank you in advance and sorry for the English

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Eric,
Best pratice is never to edit existing files 🙂 It gets overwritten with the next release.
Have a look if you find something in my response here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/setup-login-for-private-forum/

I don’t think you have to download the files anymore. I think all you have to do is change your language in Settings > General now.

Here is the list of translations. German seems to be at 100%.

I guess try what I said above, because a WordPress update possibly changed the language directory for each plugin.

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress

[Robkk]

The “by” is printed in php, as displayed in this code here.

https://github.com/ntwb/bbPress/blob/master/src/includes/common/widgets.php#L822

There is a way to use CSS to hide the “by” though. It will look like the topic title has a little margin away from the topic authors name.

Here is a custom CSS example.

.widget_display_topics li {
  visibility: hidden;
}

.widget_display_topics li > * {
  visibility: visible;
}

There might be a way to use a plugin like Loco translate to just translate “by” to nothing also, but I have never tried that plugin before, and I am not 100% if that would even work. But it could be another possibly easy solution.

[Robkk]

Robin might be on to something with the url thing. Robins suggestion works fine, but I usually suggest looking into using the Reveal IDs plugin, as it really makes it easier by just adding a column in posts like Forums > All Forums list and users list in the WordPress backend.

@rateyourway

Its a custom bbPress template file in your theme. I suggest you contact your theme developer. Maybe they can make the custom bbPress layout translatable by a few code tweaks.

[Robkk]

@aviazz

You already should have a way to view topics with no replies. By default bbPress has a feature called Views. It allows you to display topics with various different arguments. Topics with no replies should be one of the 2 default views which are Most popular topics and Topics with no replies

You can link to the existing page using the Topic Views widget in your sidebar, or you can use a shortcode already provided by bbPress to display a view shortcode in a page and add it to a menu. You can also also instead add a custom link to a menu in the menus section in Appearance > Menus if you do not need to use a shortcode in a page.

The widget is called the Topic Views widget that you will be able to see in Appearance > Widgets or you can manage your sidebars using the Customizer API in Appearance > Customize in the WordPress backend.

https://codex.bbpress.org/features/widgets/

The shortcode you would want to use is [bbp-single-view id='no-replies']

https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/#views

If for some reason you may not already have the default view. See if its related to a theme/plugin function removing the default view by troubleshooting.

Plugin Troubleshooting

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/#plugins

Theme Troubleshooting

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/#themes

If its not a theme/plugin issue we can check to see if its a possible bug causing an issue.

@rateyourway The “freshness” term has been removed from bbPress 2.6 (/dev) so you will not see it in the translation files, it is still there for the current bbPress 2.5.x see:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=freshness&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc#

Edit: The string may also be coming from your theme, switch themes to one of the included “Twenty” themes to double check.
