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

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

Fred

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

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?

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 🙏

Hello,

I am using bbpress to do a website where employees can create topics to post information about their career and students can read and reply to ask questions. I am allowing employees to create topics in forums that I created myself by categories (let’s say I created the forum “Computer Science” and “Construction”) and they are also allowed to put a tag to the topic that will correspond to their job (for example a software engineer will post in the forum “Computer Science” with the tag “Software Engineer”).

Now instead of using the normal search tool of bbpress, I would like to create a search tool for student where there would be 2 filters, the first one would be a dropdown with the list of all the forums that I created and then another filter which is a text area that correspond to a job name and that would search among the tags.

This is my main goal. However, if it’s possible I also would like to add another field “Company Name” available for employees when creating a new topic and then create another field in the search bar “Company Name”.

Can anyone help with that please ? I would be extremly thankful !
Thanks !

[Robin W]

maybe …not one the bbpress authors allowed for 🙂

anyway, totally untested as I need to be doing other things, but this might do it
revised code below

of course if moderators are allowed into the backend, then this becomes pointless, but I would argue that only admins should be backend access 🙂

[Robin W]

ok, so no easy automatic way to do this., but this method is fairly simple.

so use the ‘Post Comments as bbPress Topics’ plugin, and create a post using settings that create a topic. Publish the post and that will create the post and a forum topic.

then you can immediately go back to edit that post, and in the ‘topics for posts’ part of the edit, unclick the ‘Use a bbPress forum topic for comments on this post.’ This will then show the normal comments box, but the forum topic will remain.

A user on a bbPress forum keeps getting a message that he is posting a duplicate post when he tries to post a reply to a topic.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

[Martine]

Good morning
I’m looking for a plugin to automatically create a topic in the forum following a new article in the blog like “Post Comments as bbPress Topics” but without that removing the possibility of posting a comment on the blog.
Thanks in advance.

[Robin W]

hmmmm… not sure it would be that, as bbpress is loading ok.

it could be a theme or plugin issue

ok, so you had the hello elementor theme active, although you have now switched to another theme.

this theme needs this additional plugin to make it work with bbpress

Hello theme Elementor bbPress template fix

[lmstearn]

Hi,
WordPress 6.2.2 running Twenty Twenty-Three theme, BBPress 2.6.9.
Moved the only hidden (pending) topic from a public forum to a private forum, and published it. Topic, and moved replies all look fine in the private forum.
The public forum from whence it was moved still has this:

This forum has NN topics (+1 hidden), NNN replies …

As expected, clicking the +1 hidden doesn’t change the number of topics displayed. Repaired the forum, cleared site cache, no change to the +1 hidden.
If a detail in the move topic process was missed, please advise.
Thanks.

Hello, i am using this code Part to show latest Topics in certain Forums. It is giving the correct Topic ids but wont show them except of original Language even if i opened it in a different language first.

<section class=”topics”>

<div id=”bbpress-forums” class=”bbpress-wrapper”>

<h3><?php echo __(‘Recent Topics’, ‘WordPress’); ?></h3>

<?php

$topic_parents = array();

foreach ($match_parent_ids as $match_parent_id) {

$match_ids = get_children(array(
‘post_parent’ => $match_parent_id,
‘post_type’ => ‘forum’,
‘fields’ => ‘ids’,
));

foreach ($match_ids as $match_id) {

$topic_ids = get_children(array(
‘post_parent’ => $match_id,
‘post_type’ => ‘topic’,
‘fields’ =>’ids’,
));

foreach ($topic_ids as $topic_id) {
echo $topic_id;
}

$topic_parents = array_merge($topic_parents, $topic_ids);

}

}

$args3 = array(
‘post__in’ => $topic_parents,
‘post_type’ => ‘topic’,
‘post_status’ => bbp_get_public_status_id(),
‘posts_per_page’ => 10,
‘orderby’ => ‘freshness’,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
);

if (bbp_has_topics($args3)) :

bbp_get_template_part(‘loop’, ‘topics’);

else :

bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ );

endif;?>

</div>

</section>

Thanks for helping

If this happens to you and you switch the number to zero but it doesn’t work and if you check your logs you will see this:

Uncaught DivisionByZeroError: Division by zero in []/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/classes/class-bbp-converter.php:390

Use phpMyAdmin or your favorite DBM flavor and go into wp_options.

Manually change the row “_bbp_converter_rows” from zero to whatever you initially had. Be sure to update it in the converter pane as well otherwise the original value will not take.

[Robin W]

support here is fine, it’s free and done by volunteers – it’s the weekend here, so excuse that I choose to spend time with my family.

You are using a professional package called buddyboss, which hooks to the totally free bbpress.

If you are stopping, then maybe ask buddyboss how to move away?

The link you post just shows a list of forums, so no idea what is missing as I don’t know what ‘all the forums’ means – maybe come back with exactly what is missing and I’ll take my grumpy hat off and try to help you on Monday 🙂

[StudentFilmmakers]

I know it’s been a long wait for anyone in the digital universe to respond, but here it is. I am trying to do that now. The most challenging part for me now is making my bbpress forums work. I am sure some database changes were made at this point because I can’t get the bbpress forums to display the forums correctly. Please reach out if anyone knows how to migrate back to bbpress from buddyboss.

[StudentFilmmakers]

I guess this support is not as active as it once was. Anyone know. This is what I get on the /forums page:

I am testing the WPMobile app plugin and am finding it pretty hard going to be honest. It does now seem obligatory to have this as 80 percent of my visitors are now on mobile and hardly anyone goes home and turns on the desktop anymore.

Has anyone here used this plugin? I would love to see some examples of any BBPress forums using it.

Thanks in advance

Hi

I was wondering, some of the topics on my BBPRESS forum receive lots of replies each day, each time a reply is created, all the (Topic) members that have chosen to ‘Notify me of follow-up replies via email’ receive an email each time a new reply is created.

This amounts to lots of emails being received by some forum members each day, is there any way to reduce the number of email notifications being sent for each new reply in a Topic since they last logged in to a particular forum (Topic).

‘Reduce notification to one email only for a topic (first unseen reply) since last logged in’ etc.

Thanks

[wulfenhart]

Hello everyone,

Loving BBPress. I was wondering how I can change the name of the page/header of the forums from “Forums” to the title of my choosing?

I run a RPG forum, and want to keep it immersive. 🙂

I could not find anything on the settings, so it makes me wonder if some tinkering is needed somewhere else.

Thank you in advance, and bravo for such a wonderful addition to WordPress.

[Robin W]

ok, so I registered on your site and just got one email with username and password, which is what I would expect from wordpress, as far as I know bbpress is not involved in this process.
