1. the info in the red box looks odd, “index” is the name of the parent directory/forum, don’t want the name “index” to appear in this area, also “anonymous” (given usernames weren’t transferred) should appear in this area, no? after “by”?

2. here you can see that “anonymous” has been entered for all members rather than their actual member names, how do i fix this? also, is there a way to get the same info below the avatar that shows in this forum, the bbpress forum, to show in my forum? is this a plugin? and finally, how do i move the post date from a row above the topic to below the avatar? thanks.

the other trac ticket it refers to tells you where to put it

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5512

but you’d need to check whether 2.6 has already included that

[junglejim620]

Hi bbPress,

I am using bbPress Version 2.6.1.1

I put this ( else return $action; ) very end/bottom of that page, also I realized there’s NO ?> at the end, so I added this ?> in and getting a WHITE PAGE? Can you tell me what am I doing wrong?

Anyhow, it say put the ” else return $action; ” at the end of the function? There are many functions, but which one or line btw? Help!

Please click this link for the info https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2779

Please advise help.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I have installed bbpress and download the es_ES translation for spanish.

The weird situation i’m experiencing is as follows:

1. In my main forum page i can see the following translations for “Forum/topic/entries/freshness”
“FORO TEMAS ENTRADAS REFRESCAR”
2. When i click on a main topic the translations are “DEBATE USUARIOS PUBLICAR ÚLTIMO MENSAJE”

I have downloaded the file bbpress-es_ES.po and nowhere is the word “REFRESCAR” which is not a proper translation of “freshness” I’ve search also for “freshness” and i can’t find that word as well…

Does anyone know if there’s any other .po file that needs to be translated? I’m doing something wrong? This is driving me crazy hehe

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

thanks!

1. phpbb import seemed to go ok, as did the repair process, all of my phpbb forums appear correctly and so do topics and posts… however no usernames seemed to make the journey, every posts shows “anonymous” as the poster… what can i do to fix this?

2. read about the lack of avatar migration support, so what’s the best way to add the same user avatars that were used at the phpbb board, i’m guessing this is a manual process, and if so what are the steps?

thanks very much…

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

I wanted to start a new topic, but didn’t see any options, and this topic is exactly what I would have said.

I imported my SMF forums to bbpress with mostly success.

here’s my not yet published site
http://nutopia.cc/Holistic-Counseling-WP/holistic-counseling-community-forums/
you’ll need to login to see forums
username: test
p.w: 123456

2 issues (that still need to be fixed).

1) The main forums area of the forums has counted all the correct number of topics and replies, but once clicking on a Forum, at the top of the page, the #1 of topics are again, correct, but then it says a fewer amount of topics.

eg on Introduce Yourself forum –

This forum contains 8 topics and 15 replies.
Viewing 4 topics – 1 through 4 (of 4 total)

This occurred in all forums.

How to fix?

2) My forum posts (I’m admin) appears as anonymous. All other users are fine.
How to fix?

Please and thanks a bunch.

Hi ,

I have one problem with BBpress admin screen. Admin can edit any new topic created after publish. But He is not edit that topic which is status has pending. Is that any way to do this from front-end.

Thanks
Money

[Robin W]

but this issue was present before activating bbPress.

uh? not sure how you can have an issue with forum software before it is installed.

I presume you went through

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/

and if so did it identify the theme as the issue or a plugin?

[Erwin]

Hi, I’m having this exact issue, but I could not find the solution using Mel77’s comment.

Can anyone help me solve this?

My forums are at http://www.nomadsgaming.com/forums/

The theme is Customizr and I’m also using bbPress, but this issue was present before activating bbPress.

[Robin W]

what bbpress role does the person have? if admin, and they see the ip address in replies, you could put the email under this using

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_admin_details', 'rew_show_email') ;

function rew_show_email () {
$user_id_rew = bbp_get_reply_author_id () ;
$user_info_rew = get_userdata($user_id_rew);
$email = $user_info_rew->user_email;
echo 'Email: '.$email ;
}

put this in your functions file

https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

[Robin W]

If I understand you correctly you want to amend a file in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

The easiest way is to copy the relevant file to your child theme

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress and copy the file there eg

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-forums.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

You can also add a location – for instance within a plugin I use I add a location using :

add_action( 'bbp_register_theme_packages', 'bsp_register_plugin_template1' );

//get the template path
function bsp_get_template1_path() {
	return BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/templates/templates1';
}

function bsp_register_plugin_template1() {
	bbp_register_template_stack( 'bsp_get_template1_path', 12 );
}

[siparker]

Hi,

I want to override a template part in a plugin

there is a filter on bbp_get_template_part but also in the comments of template-functions.php it mentions you can also add a new location to the template stack.

Which is the best / most future proof method of these to, for example, override the loop-forums.php template part within a plugin.

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Hello!

I am installing fresh bbPress forums and I am stuck with the following recommendation.

Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)

I could not find a reason to why is this recommended. What happens if I do not use the prefix? I would like to keep the URLs shorter but I do not know the consequences of avoiding that prefix.

Kindly help me understand this recommendation.

Thank you

Good day, I’d like to find out from you if is is possible to parse the glossary terms that come up in the heading of my forum. In other words, I do not want the words that are linked to my CM Tooltip plugin to be highlighted in the headings of my forum topics so I need to wrap the term in [glossary_exclude] [/glossary_exclude] within the template.

For examples of what I mean, see the headings in the links to these topics:
http://www.pdsnet.co.za/index.php/forums/forum/investment-advice/ – the word “investment” is highlighted
http://www.pdsnet.co.za/index.php/forums/topic/elimination-of-the-bears/ – the word “bears” is highlighted

Wordpress Version 4.5.3, bbPress Version 2.5.10

Thank you

[packzap]

Yes, running Akismet. It does a great job of flagging WordPress spam posts. I did not realize that apparently Akismet also flags bbPress forum topics and replies, putting them in “spam” sections. I will now keep an eye on those areas.

[vegecravings]

Hi,

I have recently installed BBPress for WordPress. When I create a new topics I can see the counter for topics & posts gets updated, but the topics do not show up under the forums. I can see the topics in my wp-admin area or when I make them sticky.

I rewrote the caching part of freshness output… However, the patch in bug #2414 fixed my issues, so I don’t need this workaround anymore.

[pcpro178]

I already know how to do CSS. How do I make a template for the bbPress Topic page?

[Robin W]

ah, now I can see what you mean.

Yes that’s buddypress not bbpress – try their support forum

https://buddypress.org/support/

[pcpro178]

I appreciate your willingness to help. 🙂 It’s not functionality that I want to customize at this time. Right now, I’m only really interested in getting the pages to integrate/fit well with my site. That is, I need to integrate it with my theme.

Perhaps if we look at this from the other end the problem will be easier to understand:

My plan at present is to develop a new template page within my theme to handle bbPress Topic pages. This new page will adopt elements (mostly copy/paste style) from one of the bbPress files (plugin-bbpress.php, bbpress.php, forums.php, or forum.php). I’m confused as to which of those files should be used for displaying bbPress Topcic pages (e.g. sopearly.com/topic/welcome-to-the-sopearly-community/).

If I had to guess, I would start by copying & modifying forum.php into my new template. Would that be correct?

[Robin W]

hmm.. The only way I can immediately think of is to modify loop-topics

so

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-topics.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-topics.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so in that file you will see

<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

you would need to check with forum the user is in and then custom display

so something like – you’d need to write the code – this is just words !

<?php 
	if (forum == the one you want to change) {
		then make an array of the ID, and then cycle through them
		foreach ($topics as $topic) {
		bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' );
		}
	}
	else { ?>
		<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>

		<?php endwhile; ?>
	<?php } ?>
