Only one tip: Ask on the BuddyPress forum. 🙂
This forum is for bbPress related questions so you might have more luck on buddypress.org/support.

The “Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly.” will be caused by either your theme or a plugin.

Try switching theme to Twenty Fifteen to see if the error is fixed, if not deactivate all your plugins except bbPress and then reactivate each plugin one-by-one until the error appears again, then you’ll know which one is causing the problem.

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly

[yckelvin]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I install the bbPress and find the search box and button are in separate line, I review the code of form-search.php

<form role="search" method="get" id="bbp-search-form" action="<?php bbp_search_url(); ?>">
	<div>
		<label class="screen-reader-text hidden" for="bbp_search"><?php _e( 'Search for:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
		<input type="hidden" name="action" value="bbp-search-request" />
		<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr( bbp_get_search_terms() ); ?>" name="bbp_search" id="bbp_search" />
		<input tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" class="button" type="submit" id="bbp_search_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>" />
	</div>
</form>

There is not line break tag <br> between the input element, does anyone know how I can remove the break?

Best regards,

Kelvin.

If you want to take a custom CSS based approach, you could use the body.bbpress selector.

In your case, an extra selector is needed for the main forum page. It’s not ideal to hardcode page IDs in CSS this way and normally that wouldn’t be required – but you seem to be using a custom page instead of a regular forum archive there.

Example:

body.page-id-174,
body.bbpress {
  background: white url("http://replace.me/with-image.png") repeat top left !important;
}

If you add the above to your child theme stylesheet it should get you in the right direction. Please also note if you are able to add it after the existing custom background CSS rule, you can drop the !important modifier.

Of course, don’t forget to add a legit URL in there!

Hope that helps 🙂

Thanks for the reply Robkk! So is there any way to easily only revert the other pages but not the bbpress pages?

[Barry]

Would this snippet work for you? You could add to a custom plugin, or to your theme’s functions.php file if that’s how you like to do things.

function bbpress_unhook_email_notifications() {
	remove_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_notify_topic_subscribers', 11 );
	remove_action( 'bbp_new_topic', 'bbp_notify_forum_subscribers', 11 );
}

add_action( 'init', 'bbpress_unhook_email_notifications', 100 );

[Robkk]

I don’t think this has anything to do with bbPress either. Remember these support forums are just for the bbPress plugin.

Maybe go into these support forums instead.

[Robkk]

This seems to not be about bbPress at all.

Contact your theme author if this is theme specific.

I had a problem with my Dutch languge setting.
I just wanted everything in dutch.
My site was already in Dutch (WordPress 4.2.9)
This is what i did and one of those things worked.

– So, my site is in dutch
– Installed bbPress and it was in English.
– In my settings i changed the language to English and back to dutch.
– In home/updates all the way down i ran the language update.

Now my site and forum are in Dutch.
Hope this works for others.

And if not..

I’m having the same problem, the source of which is because USER IDS aren’t matching between each installation. When importing new users, a new user ID is generated for each account on the new installation, so BBpress is not able to recalculate properly since author ID numbers for forums, topics, and replied do not match. It would be GREAT if BBpress had a recalculation method based on USER EMAIL instead of user ID. IDs change between installations but emails usually do not when transferring between wordpress installations. Very broken atm.

[Robkk]

You are going to have to create this by yourself.

bbPress comprises of custom post types, so you should be able to use post_meta.

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_meta/

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_post_meta

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_post_meta

Here is a good example of using custom post meta with bbPress.

https://wp-dreams.com/articles/2013/06/adding-custom-fields-bbpress-topic-form/

There are some bbPress support forum plugins that you may need to look into that may add something similar of the features you want.

You can create a custom topic form input for the users to explain why this is important, a topic status that indicates where the topic is at and indicate by color, resolution deadline could be time it was closed.

There is also many hooks that might be helpful.

[Robkk]

Can’t you just disable bbPress forum subscriptions in Settings > Forums, and just keep the BuddyPress notifications.

BuddyPress might send out emails for their specific components too, you might need to head to their support forum for this.

[Robkk]

I agree with you it seems odd to have it this way, created this ticket in favor to change it.

1. An answer to this is really a personal opinion on what you prefer specifically from each.

2. For WordPress you need a theme, Im sure its the same for others.

3. Just so you know WordPress is the CMS and bbPress is just piggybacking and using APIs from such. WordPress is updated quite frequently. You can allow bbPress to update automatically if you want through some plugin.

4. I don’t know why you brought up phpbb here, but bbPress can be automatically updated using a plugin. WordPress is updated automatically for security releases, and sometimes hosts cann allow you to just allow it to update automatically all the time.

5. Blog functionality comes packaged with WordPress, you can add other features using plugins or themes.

6. Read this for hardening WordPress.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

7. For captcha plugins that work with bbPress check out this guide.

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/forum-moderation/dealing-with-spam/#registration-spam

8. Use a plugin, or online service, or check your hosting provider.

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/before-installing/backing-up-your-database-and-files/

9. Yes this forum has more than 100k topics. Users you will be fine.

Also which plugins will be better for users and forums so that their updation does not affect the live site once it is launched.

IF you are talking about plugin/theme/WordPress updates. Try to avoid automatic updates so you do not come across issues during an update and check to see if the update does not have any issues below rolling it out. Or just take frequent backups to avoid update issues and just roll back to a previous state.

Hi all
this is my (new) website: http://psychiatryadvice.com

When someone attempts to submit a new topic the following message occurs:

ERROR: Your topic cannot be created at this time.

Under settings>discussion I do not have any words in the blacklist or comment moderation. I also disabled the most recent plugin I installed (btw creating new topics was no problem after I initially installed this plugin).

Any advice how to fix this please?
Thanks!

Wordpress v 4.5.3
bbpress v 2.5.9-6017

You can test this behaviour on any topic on https://bbpress.org/forums . As per the docs for roles and capabilities a participant should be able to only assign tags and not delete them.

[allancaeg]

For my users, the main focus of their bbPress membership site is their latest posted thread.

How do I show on their dashboard the details of their latest thread? Preferably with 1) the first post 2), 3) the latest post, and 4) field to post an update to this topic.

[Robkk]

@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.

[Stephen Edgar]

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

[Jagrav]

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 ?

[davidnator]

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
