I have several bbPress forums in my WordPress site and I want to use a bbPress Forum List to show only certain forums. By default it shows all forums, but I just want to show a specific one or two in the Forum List. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Wordpress version: 4.5.2
bbPress version: 2.5.9

Hi all,
I’m about to test a new version of an exixsting website, which will include Buddypress+bbPress – I’ve had a demo test site going on for a while, but today I noticed that I can’t see any topic which is labeled as “normal”, only important ones show up, and I can’t see any replies either…

The’re definitely there on admin, they show up on “last comment” widgets or “last forum topics” widgets, but not on the main body itself.

I tested it on the live website installing only the two plugins, the same things happens. WP is 4.5.2 on test and 4.5.1 on live, same results.

Here’s a screen of the problem:

Hi everyone loving bbpress and just had some questions. How do I export just my forums? I know the normal wordpress port allows me to export all my pages etc, and I can choose individual items, but I can’t choose say replies and forums.

Is there a plugin or some other function that will let me export all forum related data and users only? The reason I ask is because I have a running site, and I have a test version of the site with working forums. I want to put the working forums into the actual site, without overwriting existing content

Thanks
Rodolfo

@Robkk sorry for the late answer…

I am back with the project… I realized what you said, the html is available only for admin; but with your code solved everything!

Thanks!

In case anyone need… I made Visual Editor visible in bbPress with this code:

/*Editor Visual bbPress*/
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

Hi Guys!

I found the guide where are the codes for “Show status labels for bbPress Topics”… Well, I want to add a label for “Topics with No replies”, i tried do it by myself but It makes me crazy..

Does anybody know which reference or functions should I use?

Thanks.

So, it appears that bbPress on my site does not like the word “fuck” or any of its derivatives. When users try to post a topic or reply containing this word, after submitting, they see “ERROR: your reply cannot be created at this time.” My account, the keymaster, is able to make posts with this word. If I give other users a keymaster forum role, then they may also make posts with this word. No other roles (not even moderator) can make posts with the word. This is all independent of the users’ site roles. All other forms of profanity, no matter how strange and distasteful, seem to pose no problem. How can I fix this and allow my users to use the word “fuck” to their hearts’ content? I have already tried everything on the bbPress troubleshooting site. I have no words listed in the ‘Comment Moderation’ and ‘Comment Blacklist’ boxes in the WordPress discussion settings, and the maximum rating is set to X. All forum topics on my site are private.

Info:
WordPress v4.52
Theme: SiteOrigin North
bbPress v2.59

I haven’t tested this lately, but you could export then import 1 forum at a time using this plugin. This plugin might only import topics that are not closed, and it may autosubscribe topic authors to topics, and maybe auto favorite too.

I recommend testing it out on a localhost installation.

This might be by design.

The ‘problem’ is that every user that has started or replied to a topic gets a notification everytime someones replies, i.e. 10 replies gets everyone 10 e-mails (even your own replies, which shouldn’t get you a notification).

I am using the latest versions of bbpress and buddypress. I have looked through admin parts of both bbpress and buddypress, but haven’t been able to change it to something “smarter”. It seems like I can turn all notifications from replies on or off, but nothing in between. Is this how it is?

[Robkk]

You are using Robin’s Private Groups plugin with BuddyPress, and using BuddyPress’ Group functionality right?? And this issue only seems to occur only for you, or users with similar roles??

Have you tried the plugin and cache troubleshooting listed on this page.

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

[Robkk]

For the submit button you can do something like this.

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form button {
  font-size: 20px !important;
}

Hi!

I am very new to bbpress and i’m trying to set it up on my site.

I have created a bbpress forum page where i display shortcodes. The shortcode for the search shows up, but it won’t find any topic.

Anyone has an idea of what i’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hello I have a website which relies on user roles such as administrator to show certain content. I have installed BBPress which seems to break my user roles for example all Administrators become Keymasters also which is fine but if I run a query such as the code below it evaluates to false.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<?php
         if (is_user_logged_in() ) { 

         $user_ID = get_current_user_id();
         $user_info = get_userdata($user_ID);
         if(isset($user_info->roles) && implode(', ', $user_info->roles) == 'administrator') { ?>;
         <?php } >;

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper div.bbp-submit-wrapper button id.bbp_reply_submit button submit {

thanks

Can you please help me in solving this issue ASAP. Any help much appreciated.

I guess bbPress does not show the revisions for replies in the backend like I thought, I guess only topics then??

Use this php code snippet to enable the metabox for revisions, add it to your functions,php file in your child theme or use a plugin like functionality.

I think after 2 edits it will show up I think.

function rkk_add_revision_support_for_replies() {
  add_post_type_support( 'reply', 'revisions' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'rkk_add_revision_support_for_replies' );

[Robkk]

Technically it is not an issue, as the devs made it that way for now.

But maybe follow this https://wpup.co/bbpress-threaded-nested-replies-with-paging/, or just go without using threaded replies for now.

[Robkk]

To see their edits you have to go to the edit post screen for the reply in the WordPress backend and then cycle through the revisions as you would any other regular WordPress post.

There is a trac ticket to make this easier, like being able to cycle through the post content history with ajax.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1989

@soulkitchen

Can you link me to the exact patch you worked on??

@kineta

Create a ticket in the bbPress trac. Login using your WordPress.org/bbPress.org login credentials. Find any more bugs, please report them.

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

@rf0854

Yeah not having wp_footer(); will mess up the editor because the script is enqueued in the footer of your page.

[Robkk]

Here is the CSS you will need add it to your child themes style.css file or in a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper textarea.bbp-the-content {
  font-size: 16px;
}

[Robkk]

here when I click insert link tab – I see only topics and replies under “Link to existing content”

When you type bbPress in the search bar to look for existing content on this site, you will see the sites blog posts pop up too.

I might create a ticket for removing that search bar entirely, its really not useful for participants in a forum, more of a blog post seo thing.

Hi there,

Actually, I had ultimate member installed and it was fine, then added bbpress and this issue came up. I added the extension hoping it would help, but without luck. In other words, the conflict exists whether or not the extension is installed.

Thanks,

[Robkk]

This is caused by some styles from your theme that is for WordPress comments reply link.

Add this custom CSS snippet to a custom css plugin or in a child themes style.css file

#bbpress-forums .reply {
  text-transform: inherit;
  font-family: inherit;
  font-size: inherit;
  letter-spacing: inherit;
}

[ropyro]

The title is pretty self explanatory. I installed the bbpress plugin and didn’t modify it. I was able to create myself a login as the only user, and that worked fine. I showed it to a coworker, who tried to visit the site as a user … there’s no log-in button. Why would this be kept from view? Appreciate any help.

Site is located here: http://creatingourcommonwealth.org/forums/forum/creating-our-common-wealth-forums/

My theme is Ribosome.

[breakweather]

I’m having a conflict between Ultimate Member and bbpress, even with this extension purchased:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in (my site)/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1446

I have uninstalled all plugins until it came down to bbpress and Ultimate Member. It is also not the extension, as I disabled that and the error persists.

It appears on back-end pages:
Ultimate Member: User Roles
Ultimate Member: Member Directory
bbpress tabs: Forums, Replies, Topics

Hello community,

we are experiencing quite an issue on our bbpress as replies are displayed in capitals, for example : http://www.combatmission.fr/fora/topic/un-article-sur-les-bleus/?view=all

Checked each post and none are so formatted and I’m clueless on what would cause that.

Would anyone have an idea on how to fix that (ie. replies to be displayed in lowercase)?
