@pestocat for the latest bbPress v2 plugin, you need to install the Akismet plugin from wordpress.org.

[Robkk]

@rothaar bbPress by default does not have this kind of layout or the “by” in the last post column, so it is definitely your theme.

I think that the “by” is just in a template, maybe loop-single-topic.php and loop-single-forum.php in your theme.

It might be best to create a child theme and manually edit the template and then translate the word to your language.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Just copy your main themes bbPress templates into your child theme, and edit the files I listed above.

Do I need to add the Akismet plugin or is already in the main bbPress plugin.

Hi Karen,

I suspect that is coming from your theme and not from bbPress as I don’t recognize that column as being standard WordPress.

If this is a public site, could you post the link here so I have a look ?

Thanks,
Pascal.

Hi,
You can read all about this in the codex : https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_setup_current_user/was-called-incorrectly/

I would like to know how I can put up a ‘forum cover image’ on the page of each of my forums…..
I was hoping to use the ‘featured image’ function and display a landscape image on top of the page.

For example, if i am running a fitness forum community with a cardio workouts forum, and put up a cover image showing pple doing cardio….. and then for the weights forum, i’d have a weights cover image.

How could I do this?

FYI My knowledge of wordpress, bbpress, buddypress is beginner – intermediate. I know how to edit files, but not write code myself.

Hi there,

I want bbpress being displayed in spanish. My wordpress page is usually in english. I found a topic about the same problem already in this forum, where one of you guys said that the homepage language has to be spanish if you want that bbpress is in spanish. So I changed the language in the general settings in wordpress to spanish but the forum sentences of bbpress are still displayed in english (for instance: “This forum is empty.Oh bother! No topics were found here!Create New Topic in…”). I also put the .mo and.po files in my ftp manager like its recommended here in the forum. Nevertheless it is not working. I hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance and best regards

I am using BuddyPress with BBPress, and, if I create a topic, I get a notification that someone commented in the topic, but, as a participant of a topic, I don’t get a notification if someone replies to my comment in a topic. There are a couple bugs I’m working out on my site (allianceofhealth.com), and I’m not sure if this is one of them. Is this a feature that I might have to program into BBPress or BuddyPress (whichever one’s responsible for the notifs).

[Ljorg]

Replying to my own post in order to help others with the same problem: The plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has a widget which does exactly this. It costs a little money but also contains a wealth of other enhancements to bbPress making it worth it.

Hi all!
I use Woo Memberships and Subscriptions to run a pretty healthy membership type site at schoolofbookkeeping.com. The public should be able to view forums, but not reply or create topics. When a subscriber logins, of course they should be able to. However, if they cancel their subscription, Woo turns “subscriber” into “customer” BUT I have no idea how to turn “participant” into “spectator.” I’ve tried to bulk edit in users, but it won’t stick. Each user has “customer, participant.” I am forced to edit each user and change it within their user profile. This can be extremely time consuming. Any ideas?

[tech55541]

Hello,
I tried to use this code to remove the little character between the Subscribe and Favorite link, but it does not seem to work.

/*Fix character issue with BBPress admin links menu*/
function hide_before2 ($args = array() ) {
$args['before'] = '&nbsp';
$args['subscribe'] = 'Subscribe';  
$args['unsubscribe'] = 'Unsubscribe';
 
 return $args;
} 

add_filter('bbp_before_get_user_subscribe_link_parse_args', 'hide_before2');

http://yourtechadvisors.com/forums/topic/testing/

Feel free to create an account, I think the biggest problem is the Subscribe/Unsubscribe link that can be found under the Options menu. Please check screenshot.

Hi,
I searched a week along on different portals but couldnt find any tutorial or solution to generate a button instead of the reply link. Also i was searching to put the reply link to the bottom of the replied message. Seems to be I am the only one who needs this.

I activated the: Reply Threading -> Enable threaded (nested) replies 5 levels deep.
So the reply link is on the top place.
I need to put the reply link to the bottom after the message.
People (most women) are confused where to click to reply.
I want it to the bottom right after the message. And if possible as a button like on the screenshot.

Now the one million Dolar question.
How can I do this? 🙂

Thanks for your assistance in before.

Can someone change the title?

[Andrea Barghigiani]

Hello there,

I have a really strange problem… In the last few days I’ve noticed that all my messages do not show paragraphs, bolds, italics and neither links inside my topics.

I find it really strange and if you want to have a look to this is the link on a page where this happens. Inside this response there was some links and formatting but everything is gone.

It seems like WordPress is stripping out all the formatting my users add to the text and if you inspect the code you’ll find out that not a single <p> has been used…

I am using custom template pages but in order to test I’ve also renamed the bbpress/ folder inside my theme and the problem is still present. Tryed to use Twenty Fiftheen and the problem persists. Also checked the settings but everything seems normal.

The only thing I’ve done is update WordPress to the version 4.5, at least is the last action that I can recall.

Hope you can help me and thank you for your advices.

All the best,
Andrea

Weirdly (considering how long ago this was posted), I recently had some updates trigger this same problem (the ‘in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /abcde/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1199’ error, though in my case it’s actually line 1442). @korvinm’s solution is great but can be extended a bit so it won’t get overwritten by updates–instead of editing the file named by the error, go into your child theme’s functions.php file and add:

function LF_bbp_query_post_parent__in( $where, $object = '' ) {
	global $wpdb, $wp;

	// Noop if WP core supports this already
	if ( in_array( 'post_parent__in', array($wp->private_query_vars ) ) )
		return $where;

	// Bail if no object passed
	if ( empty( $object ) )
		return $where;

	// Only 1 post_parent so return $where
	if ( is_numeric( $object->query_vars['post_parent'] ) )
		return $where;

	// Including specific post_parent's
	if ( ! empty( $object->query_vars['post_parent__in'] ) ) {
		$ids    = implode( ',', wp_parse_id_list( $object->query_vars['post_parent__in'] ) );
		$where .= " AND {$wpdb->posts}.post_parent IN ($ids)";

	// Excluding specific post_parent's
	} elseif ( ! empty( $object->query_vars['post_parent__not_in'] ) ) {
		$ids    = implode( ',', wp_parse_id_list( $object->query_vars['post_parent__not_in'] ) );
		$where .= " AND {$wpdb->posts}.post_parent NOT IN ($ids)";
	}

	// Return possibly modified $where
	return $where;
}
remove_filter('posts_where', 'bbp_query_post_parent__in', 10);
add_filter('posts_where', 'LF_bbp_query_post_parent__in', 10, 2);

This keeps the edit to the function in your child theme files so it won’t get overwritten, giving it a slightly modified name, then removes the filter’s callback to the bbPress function, and adds your modified one in its place. Just figured I’d share in case anybody else is still running into this issue and comes across this thread.

Hi,

could it be that there is a string missing in the bbPress translation file? I’m currently creating my forum. As far as I can see all the strings are translated fine but one.

http://screencast.com/t/Itg0OHkV9Gs

I’ve looked through all the strings that contain ‘by’ and they are all translated correctly with the German word ‘von’. However, I’m thinking that this particular ‘by’ is not even in the list and therefore not translated. Can somebody help me with this?

I’m using:
WordPress 4.5
BuddyPress 2.5.2
bbPress 2.5.8
Polylang 1.8.5
Loco Translate 1.5.5

I’d like to create a forum index that resembles Flarum, where colour coded labels indicate which forum each topic belongs to.

bbPress conveniently outputs the names of each forum a topic is assigned to. Unfortunately, using just CSS, there is no way to assign different colours to each forum.

I’d like each different forum to have an ID selector, much like WordPress posts do, so that I could easily assign colour.

Example:

bbp-topic-started-in#forum-1 a {
background: green;
}
bbp-topic-started-in#forum-2 a {
background: yellow;
}

Could someone tell me, a) how I could accomplish this, or b) how I could present this for consideration in a future bbPress release?

hello! 🙂 first of all…

Forum Moderation

so what? the page is empty :/

i need to be able to set up a list of wp users to be the admin/moderators of the forum
i need to be able to make them know about a new post (i can do it via mailing list)
and they should be able to reply and make the question public via front end. and the op must be notified when someone replies to or publish the post.

it’s more of a Q and A system for everyone with moderation from a list of wp userd (doctors)

the only way i found to moderate incoming posts is a 2year old plugin with bulky backend system (it needs to be as easy as possible since the moderators wont be tech savvy guys)

is there any other solution?

thanks

I’m running a WP multisite with bbPress installed on the main site. When new users create accounts on the network, they are assigned a role of Participant, both in the network and for the main site. If they chose only to create a user account and not a site, once they have logged out after their first login, they are unable to log into their profile pages. It seems the default user role of Participant is not recognized as having any privileges by the WP software. When I manually change the user’s role to Subscriber, they can then log in to their profile page. Obviously this is not a long-term solution, so is there any way to revert to WP’s native functionality of making new users subscribers by default while having bbPress installed?

Hello Ammalgam,

There is other way for importing topics into bbPress if you have RSS feeds from simplepress. That is using WPPipes and Auto Importing Topics into bbPress add-on.

Hopefully it could be a good suggestion for you!
