@imborx I see here the author of that guide you linked to helped you out.

https://wpup.co/bbpress-threaded-nested-replies-with-paging/#comment-2772468803

yeah thats the ticket I was talking about @netweb.

[Robkk]

Maybe something like this, not sure of what you are after.

Put the custom CSS in a custom CSS plugin or place it into a child themes style.css if you already created a child theme.

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum {
  border-top: 1px solid #E91E63;
}

I am running bbpress(Version 2.5.9) + buddypress(Version 2.5.3) on wordpress version > 4.5.1.
In bbpress there are users with Forum Role as Participant and site role as Participant. I have observed that any participant can delete tags created by any other participant. For example if participant-A creates a topic-A with tag-a, when participant-B replies to Topic-A, then participant-B can see tag-a created by participant-A in tag input field and if participant-B removes it from the input field and submits the reply then tag-a is deleted from Topic-A. I this behaviour normal. I . Any help will be great as I have been trying but could not find any reference to this use case.

Did you run the “bbPress repair tools” after importing?

If not, go to the WordPress Dashboard -> Tools -> Forums and run each of the repair tools

Is there a simple question and answer plugin for bbPress?

[2fresh]

I’m starting to build a site using WP 4.5.3 and would like to create a bbpress forum in it.
Have installed bbpress 2.5.9 and created my forum.

My problem is, when I want to create a post or reply to one on the front-end, i receive an error message “ERREUR: Etes vous sur de vouloir faire ca ?” (In english : “ERROR: Are you sure you want to do that ?”) above the title of the post, and I cant confirm or anything else, just modify my post.
I can create posts in the back-end though.

I tried without any other extension than bbpress, and with twenty fourteen theme aswell as with the theme I want to use in the end.
I can’t post a link to my site, as it is local only atm.
I have seen some people having the same issue, but could’nt find a solution.

Can anyone help with that ?

Hello,

I was wondering is there any way to change the background image of only bbpress pages? This is because if I change the background image of my theme through the customizer, then my home page, about page, blog posts page, etc. will all have that background image, which doesn’t look very good.

I am currently running wordpress version: 4.5.3, bbpress version: 2.5.9, and my website is http://www.purposeshare.com/forums, which is using the sydney child theme.

Thanks,
David

Hello,

I’ve a issue with my bbpress forum.

The save for messages or topic are very very slow.

Do you have idea to optimize that ?

[BelleO]

Hi Bbpress community,

Hoping someone can help me out. After I submit a topic, it redirects me to my user dashboard and gives no system message confirming the post has been submitted..

What I would like to happen, user submits a topic and on the same page, they see a simple confirmation of submission message. How can I accomplish this?

Thank you!

[Stephen Edgar]

I think this is it: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2785

[imborx]

Where can I find that ticket? I tried to search it and I can’t find it. Actually it is posible to place navigation with threaded replies https://wpup.co/bbpress-threaded-nested-replies-with-paging/ and its working fine on my web, but also I would like to have top pagination not jut bottom.

Hello,

After setting up bbPress I “imported” forum posts manually from an older system, setting the “Published On” date to match the date of each original topic/reply. I then found that bbPress’s “freshness” ignored this date and used the date/time I had manually added these posts.

So I installed the bbPress last post plugin ( https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-last-post/ ) and modified it a little. The following code is what is currently being used, and is almost what I want:

<?php

//this function changes the bbp freshness data (time since) into a last post date for forums
function change_freshness_forum ($forum_id = 0 ) {

// Verify forum and get last active meta
		$forum_id         = bbp_get_forum_id( $forum_id );

			$reply_id = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_id( $forum_id );
			if ( !empty( $reply_id ) ) {
				$last_active_date = get_the_date( '', $reply_id );
			} else {
				$topic_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );
				if ( !empty( $topic_id ) ) {
					$last_active_date = get_the_date('', $topic_id );
				}
			}

			if ( !empty( $reply_id ) ) {
				$last_active_time = get_the_time( '', $reply_id );
			} else {
				if ( !empty( $topic_id ) ) {
					$last_active_time = get_the_time('', $topic_id );
				}
			}
			
		$last_active_date = bbp_convert_date( $last_active_date ) ;
		$last_active_time = bbp_convert_date( $last_active_time ) ;
		$date_format = get_option( 'date_format' );
		$time_format = get_option( 'time_format' );
		$date= date_i18n( "{$date_format}", $last_active_date );
		$time=date_i18n( "{$time_format}", $last_active_time );
		$active_time = sprintf( _x( '%1$s at %2$s', 'date at time', 'bbp-last-post' ), $date, $time );  
		return $active_time ;
		}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_last_active', 'change_freshness_forum', 10, 2 );

//this function changes the bbp freshness data (time since) into a last post date for topics
function change_freshness_topic ($last_active, $topic_id) {

$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

		// Try to get the most accurate freshness date possible
		if ( empty( $last_active_date ) ) {
		$reply_id = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_id( $topic_id );
		if ( !empty( $reply_id ) ) {
			$last_active_date = get_the_date( '', $reply_id );
		} else {
				$last_active_date = get_the_date( '', $topic_id );
			}
		}

		// Try to get the most accurate freshness time possible
		if ( empty( $last_active_time ) ) {
		$reply_id = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_id( $topic_id );
		if ( !empty( $reply_id ) ) {
			$last_active_time = get_the_time( '', $reply_id );
		} else {
				$last_active_time = get_the_time( '', $topic_id );
			}
		}
		
		
		$last_active_date = bbp_convert_date( $last_active_date ) ;
		$last_active_time = bbp_convert_date( $last_active_time ) ;
		$date_format = get_option( 'date_format' );
		$time_format = get_option( 'time_format' );
		$date= date_i18n( "{$date_format}", $last_active_date );
		$time=date_i18n( "{$time_format}", $last_active_time );
		$active_time = sprintf( _x( '%1$s at %2$s', 'date at time', 'bbp-last-post' ), $date, $time );  
		return $active_time ;
		}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_last_active', 'change_freshness_topic', 10, 2 );

//This function changes the heading "Freshness" to the name created in Settings>bbp last post
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	$text = 'Freshness' ;
	if ( $translated_text == $text ) {
	global $rlp_options;
	$translated_text = $rlp_options['heading_label'];
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

The only problem now is that from the forum index view, the “Last Post” column will show the date of the most recent reply, even if there is a newer topic.

Is there a way to compare the dates and make sure the Last Post column displays the most recent topic or reply, whichever is newer?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I just created a really nice working table that I wanted to post as a sticky topic on my bbpress forums. I’m set up as an admin and have full html capabilities.

When I preview my html & css in Coda, it works great! Upon typing in the code as a new sticky topic, it is not inheriting any of the CSS styling.

Is this possible? I’m positive that styling and everything is done correctly. The forum just isn’t seeing it.

Thanks for the help.

I have the WP plugin “404 to 301” installed, which lists all 404 errors in a database.
I also have bbpress installed.
404-to-301 claims that every attempt to look at a forum users details such as

/forums/users/me/favorites
/forums/users/me/topics
etc…

are failing. I can surf to those pages just fine. Is this something bbPress is doing behind the scenes? Very strange.

[haddly]

Hi,
When searching through the forum and not being logged in, a message appears at the bottom saying you must be logged in to post a reply……
Is there any way you can send me the code, so that there is a direct link to the forum login from this message or next to the message.

bbPress version is up to date. and wordpress version is a unique one created by web dev company.
Thanks in advance for your help

[Robkk]

You will need a plugin for this, there will be a few plugins to choose, her is just one of them.

Closing this as it seems to be a duplicate.

Hi all!

I’m using bbPress as part of a membership website. I know that a member can select to have post responses sent to their email. But is it possible to include a list of each specific member’s posts on the dashboard (account) page that I’m creating? This seems like an easy way for them to access what they’re posted, and track responses. Is there a shortcode for this, or will it require customization?

Thanks!

Hi, I just want to have a top navigation on bbpress. It’s very annoying to have to scroll down to change the page. How can I do that? What php file should I modify?

Thank you so much!

[zack92]

Hi bbpress,

Ive made a forum which doesnt require people to register before posting. But if they would like to post they have to insert email, name and homepage. I’d like them only to add name, is there any way to fix this?

Thanks,

please guide, on how we can be notified

Hello

I’m using buddypress with bbpress. When a buddypress group creates it’s own group forum, it is created automatically with a default forum order of 0. This results the group forum to placed near the top of the main forum list.

Is it possible to specify the forum order when a group forum is created? And is it possible to to automatically create the forum as a sub-forum, so it doesn’t mess up the layout/order of the main forum list? Say for example I have 3 main forums:
– Announcements
– General
– Projects

I would like it when a buddypress group creates its own forum, it is located as sub-forum within Projects.

Thanks for any help

[Stephen Edgar]

All those topics in those forums are “super sticky”

Go to topics dashboard https://example.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic

On each of those topics in the list click “Unstick”

Your issue should be fixed now
