2.6 is incredibly stable, its nearing, and has been, pretty close to being ready for release for quite some time, bbpress.org and wordpress.org are using 2.6 perfectly if that helps.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Check this out: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/search-option/
Hope it helps, Pascal

[Pascal Casier]

Is that on a public site ? Then a link would be great.
I need to understand is that is the bbPress search or the WordPress search.

Pascal.

Thank you how not to have the search bar ?

[Sziban]

Thank you Stephen!

Thank you for detailed answer. Only one more question: It is very important for me that the forum must be very stable and perfect to use by our visitors. Isn’t it hazardous to use the bbPress 2.6-alpha version instead of the stable bbPress 2.5.8 version?

WP 4.4.2, bbPress 2.5.8-5815

Welcome!

This problem has persisted for maybe two years with regular updates of WP and bbPress. Now that I really need to move some posts, I’m finally getting around to asking for help…

A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again. URL: http://____/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply

I tried nearly all of the repair tools without success. If there is an error in the php file, how can I fix it?

Many thanks for your help, Anna

I’m not, I am using a child theme of Twenty Twelve that I’ve been creating.

I actually got this figured out, on a whim I decided to try your $args[‘type’] = ‘list’; again and for whatever reason this time it worked. I don’t know if I may have just overlooked it the first time, or what.

My function:

function bbp_custom_pagination_links( $args ) {
    $args['type'] = 'list';
    return $args;
}
add_filter ('bbp_topic_pagination','bbp_custom_pagination_links');

I will still have to go through and do the same thing for other instances of pagination within bbPress, but that has worked for the topic list. It’s just a matter of styling the list elements with CSS at that point to get them aligned horizontally.

Thanks for all of your help, I really do appreciate it.

[Stephen Edgar]

Right, clear as mud then 😉 But this does sound like this is the expected behaviour 🙂

Trivia: bbPress.org theme here shows both @username and “Display Name” because people used to try and ping me via @Stephen Edgar, rather than @netweb, hence we added both to the template loops 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

@ sziban Cool, 1st up, you should use the development version bbPress 2.6-alpha, it has some improvements for anonymous users, you can get it from https://bbpress.org/download/

Take a look at the phpBB and SMF importers for good examples:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/phpBB.php
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/SMF.php

In particular, the following was added to add support to import topics and replies from “anonymous” users.

So rather than trying to import each of your legacy anonymous users as WordPress users the changes above will assign each of them to the built in bbPress anonymous user, and assign the “legacy” “nickname” to the imported topic or reply, its kind of cool and I’m pretty sure it will do what you are after.

Let me know how it goes or any other questions you may have 🙂

Hello,
I have this code that I used to create a custom BBPress options menu. It works great. The only thing it does not do is close on a mobile device when the options menu is clicked again. Could you please help me add this functionality?

functions.php code

/* Custom BBPress admin links menu*/
function wpmudev_bbp_admin_links_in_menu($retval, $r, $args) {
   if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
   $menulinks = '<ul id="bbp_custom_links_menu-' . $r["id"] . '" class="bbp_custom_links_menu">';
    $menulinks .= '<li class="parent"><a href="#bbp_custom_links_menu-' . $r["id"] . '">Options</a>';
    $menulinks .= '<ul class="bbp_custom_links_submenu">';
    foreach($r['links'] as $key => $val) {
        $menulinks .= "<li>{$val}</li>";
    }
    $menulinks .= '</ul></li></ul>';

    echo $r['before'] . $menulinks . $r['after'];
    }
}
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_admin_links', 'wpmudev_bbp_admin_links_in_menu', 10, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_admin_links', 'wpmudev_bbp_admin_links_in_menu', 10, 3);

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'overflow_overriding' );
function overflow_overriding() {
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
    }else{
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
		jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
		   jQuery('.bbp-admin-links:even').css({"position": "absolute", "right": "380px"});
		});
    </script>

     <?php
    }
}

Thanks for the help.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Hello,

Hello,

I’m trying to convert my old forum to bbpress (using modified bbpress/includes/admin/converters/Example.php) and it works almost everything except one. In my old forum there are 3 authors category:
1. registered with name,
2. not registered with name and
3. anonymous.
As far as I know the bbpres able to handle these categories and I can convert and import these data, but not together.
I can import the registered users with name, with these lines in converter:
$this->field_map[] = array(
‘from_tablename’ => ‘posts’,
‘from_fieldname’ => ‘uid’,
‘to_type’ => ‘reply’,
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘post_author’,
‘callback_method’ => ‘callback_userid’
);
I can import the NOT registered users with name, with these lines in converter:
$this->field_map[] = array(
‘from_tablename’ => ‘posts’,
‘from_fieldname’ => ‘nickname’,
‘to_type’ => ‘reply’,
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_anonymous_name’,
);
But unfortunately, if I use both, only the NOT registered users coming through.
I would be very grateful if someone could help.

Hello
i would like to have exactly the same widget on my site, like putting it in place?
Thank you

[Pascal Casier]

Then it’s completely normal that you get everything in English ! If you want to have your site in Spanish, you should change it to Spanish and bbPress will adapt automatically (if you choose Spanish (Spain) or Spanish (Chile), because the other Spanish are not yet fully translated).

Pascal.

[stussi]

my site language is in English right now. and bbpress is version 2.5.8

[Pascal Casier]

Unfortunately not.
Do you have the possibility to switch to a standard wordpress theme ?
Or deactivate all plugins except bbPress ? Then reactivate one by one
Pascal.

[eoppegaard]

I am using BbPress Version 2.5.8 but I think you are right it is never finding the source.

Where should the source files be placed?

[volican]

When I use bbpress I notice that on the mobile it is all squished up. To solve this I have removed the freshness column and adjusted the spacing of the info, topic and posts columns. This works on the forums page but when I click on one of the forums the freshness column is removed but the spacing seems to be the same. Can you see what I have done wrong with my css?

li.bbp-forum-freshness, li.bbp-forum-freshness {
	display: none;
}

li.bbp-forum-freshness, li.bbp-topic-freshness {
	display: none;
}

li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title { width:50%; }

li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-forum-topic-count {
	text-align: center;
	width: 30%;
}
li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
	text-align: center;
	width: 20%;
}

////// This is the bit that isn't playing nice

li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title { width:50%; }

li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-topic-topic-count {
	text-align: center;
	width: 30%;
}
li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
	text-align: center;
	width: 20%;
}

Many thanks 🙂

So I made a fresh forum for testing and the posting was instant. So it looks like 1.8 Millions entries in our wp_posts table is just too big a strain. I want to try to mass delete a lot of the old stuff from years ago, but I don’t want to delete regular WP posts. So what in the SQL is unique to bbpress so I can run the correct query?

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
bbPress translation files comes automatically and the ‘search’ button is in the translated list:
value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>"
But I see you also have ‘topics’, ‘posts’ and ‘freshness’, so nothing is translated.

Can you please tell me:
1) in what language locale your WordPress is running in ?
Dashboard > Settings > General Settings > Site Language

2) What version of WordPress and bbPress you are using ?

Pascal.

@vadim77

I fixed my issue by using the default wordpress search (not bb search widget) and by adding this snippet into my functions.php. This snippet adds the bbpress hook into the default search and works like a charm (adds topics & replies) to search results. This will also make it much easier styling the search results page consistently (forum results vs blog / page results).

Thanks to: @undergroundnetwork for your snippet!
