Hi, sorry if this has been asked a lot of times, but I couldn’t find relevant information.
I need to be able to upload images without placing any text at all in the text field. Just need to upload images. Please let me know how to achieve this.

Wordpress 4.1.10
BBPress Version 2.5.8

Please let me know.
Thank you!

Hello,

Back to beg for help (although willing to pay) to get this converter built.

If anyone with the ability could read through this topic and give input here or at https://github.com/damon18/dizkus-bbpress I would really appreciate it. My existing forums are starting to throw lots of errors and are keeping me from upgrading my server since they won’t work past PHP 5.3.x

Since having the menu expand is not part of the normal bbpress function (it just lists the menu items rather than having a dropdown list), I presume that either your theme is doing this, or you have added some js to do this?

Yes it is using JavaScript, I pasted it all above.

Thanks, I will take a look at link posted in your last reply to.

ok, so now I think I understand your issue. I am presuming that you mean the options menu, which works fine on a pc as using the mouse to hover lists the menu items and closes them as the mouse moves away.

with a smartphone you need to click rather than move a mouse? (I don’t have a smartphone!)

Yes I’m only aware of an old plugin. Not sure there is a recent one that does what you want.

For what it is worth I believe it is in the development roadmap for core bbPress so should be added one day.

Is it this ticket?
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2498

Unfortunately bbPress development seems to have stalled a little with buddyPress taking much of the attention these days (?). I did actually contribute to a crowd funding campaign in the hope to kickstart bbPress development but no release came out of that sadly.

I’d love this feature too, if my PHP skills were up to it I would work on it myself – maybe one day!

Hi Everyone,

I finally upgraded my bbpress 1.x to bbpress 2.5.6 after running it for 7 years. The import process took almost a day with 0.5+ million posts.

Now I am facing issue with slow performance, despite running on physical server with 16 core CPU and 16 GB RAM. The upgrade ran fine for few hours has but been very slow from last 12 hours.

The wordpress and bbpress are both so slow that sometimes even the site fails to load. HTOP shows all CPU cores running mysql up to 90%.

I enabled slow query on mysql (mariadb) and it is giving the following output:

[root@server]# mysqldumpslow -t 5 -s at /var/log/mariadb/mysql-slow.log 

Reading mysql slow query log from /var/log/mariadb/mysql-slow.log
Count: 7485  Time=25.48s (190747s)  Lock=2.85s (21328s)  Rows_sent=10.0 (74810), Rows_examined=1582056.1 (11841689862), user[database]@localhost
  SELECT   wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts  INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE N=N  AND ( 
  ( wp_postmeta.meta_key = 'S' AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) NOT IN ('S','S') )
  ) AND wp_posts.post_type = 'S' AND ((wp_posts.post_status = 'S' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'S')) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT N, N

I tried disabling other plugins but it did not make any difference, however the CPU returns to low if I disable bbpress plugin.

Can anyone guide me on what could be the issue here?

Regards,
T

ok, so go into your dashboard and go to

dashboard>plugins>add new plugin and you’ll see near the top left a box that says ‘upload plugin’ ‘ click that and then navigate to were you saved the downloaded bbpress plugin zip file.

Click install and then activate

Then for further help go to

Hi everyone,

i am new to bbPress, i took some time to search the forums for answers but i have only found a few things.

So here is my issue. I’m starting a new blog and i would like :
1. my blog posts to be automatically posted to the forums (either with full post content or with excerpt & link back to the blog).
2. people that want to comment blog posts to do it from the forum (after registering)
3. forum comments being displayed on the blog

That’s something i used to have on an old project using IPB and WP (i had my own plugin coded to do that) but i was expecting bbPress to allow that directly.

Apparently i was wrong, i only found the Topics for posts plugin to do that but it seems outdated.

Any other simple solution to do what i want ?

[nwilkinsonrn]

I have a website that I want to add a forum to. My website is already set up on my domain. I just need a forum. bbpress was recommended to help me get this accomplished.

[nwilkinsonrn]

I downloaded the first link on the page https://bbpress.org/download/

saved it to my computer. I have several files saved on my computer labeled as bbpress

[nwilkinsonrn]

Hi,

I have downloaded bbpress. How do I activate it? I download it and then nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

[Unicornis]

Please refer to the step-by-step instructions on my site.

Have you read this?

[Robin W]

In a word – no !

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

In addition to above, I just updated from 2.5.8 to bbpress 2.6, the problem remains.

Another note, I noticed when I submit a new topic or reply and wait the 17-20 second, if I hit refresh after 3 seconds it’s already there submitted and waiting on the page… it’s like behind the scenes it is working fast but there’s some delay for the browser to be told to go ahead and refresh to show the update. Maybe this info helps…

ping!

Is there a “reply by email” plugin to enhance bbPress?
When I receive a notice someone has posted to a thread I’m watching, I want to reply via email and have it post onto the thread in the forum. Increasing engagement is ++good.

I’ve read the Falcon README and I don’t grok how to install it.

We are using bbpress, Memberpress (so all forums are for members only), and askimet, and a couple of other plugins. We want to get trackbacks/pingbacks so we know when other bloggers write about us. But I am surprised that our forum members are getting emails to approve spam trackbacks on forum topics that they’ve started. Is there a way to stop forum trackbacks and especially these confusing and annoying emails that are being sent to our members?

Hi there

I am using WordPress Version 4.4.2 and BBPress v2.5.8. I am using a magazine theme called Soledad which allows a number of custom sidebars.

After setting the forum root to community (and I removed the shortcode from a page) and seeing that I did not have a sidebar, I created a new bbpress.php in a child theme to enable it.

At first the sidebar was showing as the default one on the main forum index and the individual forums and topics were showing a custom side bar that I had assigned to posts (it shows the author bio)

After I installed BB WP Tweaks, the main forum index page is showing the correct side bar after adding in the widgets into the BBPress sidebar. However, individual forums and topics are still showing the sidebar assigned to post.

Any help much appreciated. I have read the how to page on setting up specific sidebars, but not luck.

Thanks
Laura

I manage a bbPress-based student tech help forum for a college; site registrations are disabled (and must remain disabled). I have anonymous subscriptions/email notifications enabled, and email addresses are required for the creation of replies or topics, but am looking for a way to block any but a few email address domains from creating topics/replies. Is there a way to do this without enabling registrations? The only whitelisting options I’ve been able to find apply to registration, not anonymous subscriptions/topic and reply creation.

Hi
I put the bbpress login widget on the sidebar, but I would like to remove/hide its title and the line below it. Is it possible?

Here is a screenshot

Thanks in advance

How to Change bbPress Font Size

Solved this issue thanks anyway.

[TKServer]

I’ve been puzzled as to how useful showing the user how many “empty topic tags” there are in the bbPress stats widget. I also don’t really care to show the user how many topic tags there are either. SO, I decided to make my own bbPress stats plugin, which I just published in the WordPress plugins repository here:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/tk-bbpress-stats/

This stats plugin allows the admin to choose which stats to show, which is nice. I’m still trying to figure out how to get screen shots to appear in the WP SVN, but you can see the stats live on one of my bbPress deployments at Ute Hub.

Hi,
Is this the standard /forums ? Then start creating a standard WordPress page and add the [bbp-forum-index] on it. Now you can add any other shortcut or text on this same page.

Pascal.

Hello, So I changed the forums topic size. For my forum, but somehow the titles of the threads and the forum names were enlarged but the description of each forum is still small (12px.) I wanted to know, did anybody know how I can change the forums topic description font size as well with the code below? What would I put to change the description size along with the title font size. Thanks. 🙂

#bbpress-forums div.even,
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
background-color: #fff;
font-size: 18px;
}

#bbpress-forums div.odd,
#bbpress-forums ul.odd {
background-color: #fbfbfb;
font-size: 18px;
}

Hello, so I’m looking forward to editing and changing some things on my bbpress. I’m looking to edit the backgrounds of the header, footer, reply header etc… But I notice through the link below the edits only show background color to change…

bbPress Styling Crib

I’m actually planning on using background images instead of a plain color. So I was wondering, if anybody knew how I go about putting a background image in place of the background color without messing up the code. Thanks in advance.

Also for 7. Template Notices Do anybody know which one is strictly for the color of the background? Without changing the text color, I just want to change the blue box to a certain orange color. Thanks…

one last change question…

for the editing of 4. Topic/reply background, is there a possible way of just editing the topics background and leaving the actual post background white? Since both of them are considered under the same category. I was interested in changing the topics boxes and not affecting the background of the actual posts background.
