I am wanting custom fields to show up when a user posts a topic in the forum. I am using ACF because it is suppose to be compatible with bbpress. The support team tells me I must contact bbpress for my current issue.

I have uses ACF plugin to create custom fields. On the backend the custom fields show up if a user posts a new topic in the backend. The custom fields do not show up if the user posts a new topic in the frontend. Even though the custom fields show up in the backend, when the user posts the topic, the custom fields do not show up in the frontend. (I know the following code is correct because the custom fields will show up on the page in the frontend.

Here is the code for the custom fields to display on front end:

echo ‘Anglers: ‘ .get_field( ‘anglers’ );
echo ‘<br>Catch Date: ‘ .get_field( ‘date’ );
echo ‘<br>Time of Day: ‘ .get_field( ‘time’ );

Questions:
A. What bbpress file do I enter this into so it will show up on the frontend of a topic?
B. What bbpress file do I enter this into so it will show when a user posts a new topic on the frontend, not the backend?

I have a custom home page which allows the user to check or uncheck forum categories. It works great, but only on that page. Once the user is in a standard bbPress page the filter does not work. Is there such a filter that allows users to customize what they see for standard bbPress?

Example (check by the ones I want to see)

X Football
Baseball
X Golf
X Skiing
Racing

Etc.

I am trying to move my site off Buddyboss back to buddypress and bbpress. I can’t get all my forums to show from my groups on my forums page. Also, it’s a bit strange that it will only post 8 forums on the page. I can get forums to show if I change the order of the forums in the forum list, but it will remove the last forum on the list so that there are only 8. Does anyone have any tips and resetting the code, core or getting it to work? It’s on a staging site so I can try different things. Any help is appreciated.

I just rescued the ‘unread’ part of someone else’s plugin into style pack when it became too old in the main plugins. I only looked at the code in enough detail to get it working in style pack.

If pencil unread does what you want, then use it.

Also, the plugin bbpress pencil unread had a very useful option that marked all post shared before the date of register as read. Which makes sense by the way.

And, why there isn’t an option where we can choose where to have the unread icon?

Like many plugin authors, I’m just a guy who writes free code for the challenge and enjoyment. It would take a day of my life to code those changes, so whilst I agree that they might be useful, I have to find enough fun to do this. At the moment it’s not a change I am planning, sorry 🙁

Hi, I hope all is well there. We are using BBpress plugin for forums on our website. Now we would like to modify the reply section which is under topics. I’m attaching a screenshot of the example interface we would like to have for the reply section.

https://imgtr.ee/image/dWl4h this is the link where you can see the attached screenshot of what we want for the reply section.

So please let us know how we can modify to make something like we want.

Thank you!

ok, bbpress just uses wordpress login. It’s quite doable but beyond free help

Hey all

Im a new to wordpress and website building, but I am trying to set up a simple forum, that allows user to discuss a certain topic. Nothing fancy at all, but when a user is not logged in to my site and is scrolling through the forum, and he fails to login through the BBpress login, the visitor gets redirected to my backend login in screen. How can I make that so the guest is redirected to a custom URL?

Thanks.

My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin has 50 major new features, including BBCodes implementation that has 40+ shortcodes/BBCodes for bbPress forums, including SPOILER and HIDE, as well as full syntax highlighting SCODE shortcode.

I looked your pro plugin. Does your additions work with TinyMCE, text editor or both text and graphic editor? For me your BBCode- support is unnecessary wide. I try to find where TinyMCE defines how to print strikeout. I creates DEL-tags. I would just like to replace DEL-tags with SPOILER-tags as I dId for the text editor.
I found translation. With CSS I can change the text and icon. Dashicon f177 is closest available. With CSS can change the text just defining the font-size of the text 0 an replacing text by using the ::before pseudo-class.

I am hoping someone can answer this, I just started with BBPress for a charity gig, and they want a custom login so the user have to give name address and postcode to confirm they are based within the country and thus should be permitted to join

then assign the user a unique six digit ID so they can vote on concerns in the local community

is this something bbpress can do

Hello,

I created a bbpress forum on this site that is just available for approved members.

When I click on user profile links, I obtain the following error:
Sorry, but the page you were trying to view does not exist.
It looks like this was the result of either a mistyped address or an out-of-date link.

So, I would like to know how I can create the topics started page and others page displayed on user profile page. Is there any shortcode to do that or any other solutions?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am keymaster on the website but I dont have access to source code of the site. I am using WordPress 6.2.2, bbpress Version 2.6.9.

Hi Everyone

I have a question. We have installed bbpress and configured everything. Now I wanted a tree type display where all the forums should be shown in forum wise if they had sub forum that also should display. It should display only on one page and the inside will be same as forum style.

Is there any way to achieve this styling.

Thank You

Hi. I am not sure if I have already posted here. My name is Pascal, and I am from a small town called Wohlen in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.

My problem is that I have a vBulletin 5.x SQL database I converted from a vBulletin 3.x database dump. How do I best go about importing it into bbPress on my forum over at ? It will be read-only, and I want to add a forum section on top of it as my actual forum (all this in one forum, I don’t want to set up two forums).

Thank you for any help.

[Robin W]

ok, this site is support for bbpress.

phpBB is entirely different software

hi Robin,here it is :

1) function file without you add :

<?php
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
}

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘style_theme_enfant’, 20 );
function style_theme_enfant() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’, get_stylesheet_uri() );
}

function my_custom_member_list_sort( $ret ) {
$ret[‘type’] = ‘alphabetical’;
return $ret;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_after_has_members_parse_args’, ‘my_custom_member_list_sort’ );

2)
bbp Style pack
bbPress
BP Profile Search
BuddyPress
BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types
Fix Forum Emails
GD bbPress Attachments

3)
No

[Robin W]

ok, just tried that in my test site and the code above seems to work.

1. can you give me a exactly what you have put into your functions file, with a few lines above and below

2. are you using any other bbpress related plugins?

3. are you using any mail related plugins?

Here is the ACF shortcode for a custom field. What bbPress template/file do I place this shortcode so that the custom field displays on the frontend of a topic post. Where do I place it.

[acf_views view-id=”60″ name=”Lake Point Marker 2″]

[newtech1]

Did you ever get an answer from ACF? They never gave me an answer on how to make custom fields in bbPress topics to be displayed in the frontend. I also choose bbpress because they said it was compatible with bbpress.

[Robin W]

ok, not sure how to help further, maybe try

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

Hi,

Just to confirm: There is no way to follow a particular participant in bbPress. Am I correct?

[itsmifred]

Hi again,

need to install on top of it BBPress Bridge (about 9$/month)

so, I am not going to use it.

In TEXTE mode it is possible to delete unwanted characters before sending a new subject.
This is what I do and tell customers to do…

Thanks anyway

Hi @itsmifred

I’ve installed the “bbPress Notify (No-Spam)” plugin
I solved it by changing “Email Type” to “plain text” in the plugin settings.

Thanks

[catchlight]

Robin Wright! You are an underrated gem in the WordPress community! You have solved the 404 I had with bbpress and Elementor on the user profiles page for the last week! Thank you so much! This worked.

Hi
I did get the host to speed the site up but I still have problems. It is so annoying because I never did in the past and was very happy with bbPress on my site.
Take tonight for example, I added a reply to a forum post (a old chat from 2021) and it added my post 5 times! I had to delete 4 of them.
Why would it do this?

[Vivian E]

Hello,

Please help me out with a code which I can use to display user’s topics started and replies created.

For example, being able to display this page

with only the “topic started” and “replies created” menu links.

I will appreciate a custom code which I can use to archive this.

NB; on the page where I want to display topics started/replies created, I’m also displaying a topic form using bbpress short code. I’d like the display of topics started/replies created to come after the bbpress topic form…

Thanks in anticipation that someone will help me out here with a code 🙏
