have you been through

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/

[Pascal Casier]

Then unfortunately I’m out of options, sorry.
I suppose you tried already their forum ?

And did you try to deactivate all other plugins except bbPress and your calendar ? Just to be sure it’s not something in another plugin ?

Ok I’ve done some testing.

bbpress uses the display_name as stored in wp_user table.

If you allow registration

ie – Dashboard>settings>membership – anyone can register

then yes, the user_nicename and the display_name in wp_user table are the same and the same as the username entered by the person registering.

If you don’t allow registration, and you add users manually

ie Dashboard>users>add new user

and you don’t enter the first and last name, then the user_nicename and display_name are the same

BUT if you enter the firstname and lastname, then the nice_name is the username, but the display_name is saved as firstname followed by lastname !

So a bit of inconsistency by WordPress.

Now display_name is all that we can play with in bbpress, and users can change their display_name under bbpress in the profile area.

So I plan to put a function in my style pack that will let the user choose what the default display_name is, and optionally disable users from creating a nickname and/or changing the default.

Hello,

When i create topic for buddypress group forum and add topic “What’s up..”, it’s show “what\’s”.

How can i remove it?

Wordpress: 4.4.2
Buddypress:2.4.3
Bbpress : 2.5.8

Thanks

I just installed the latest version (2.5.8) on bbPress on a WordPress site where The Event Calendar plugins (vers. 4.0.7) was installed. After that, I wasn’t able to add or modify an event. I disabled bbPress, and then The Event Calendar works well as before.
Does anayone khow about this problem ? I would like to keep using The Event Calendar but also start using bbPress.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,
Give us at least some time to eat 🙂

I think there is something inside the ‘bbp style pack’ plugin.

If not, have you checked https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/ ? It has not been updated recently, but it might still work.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

You can use this plugin.

ok, I can now see the issue, and have looked at both a forum page and a non forum page.

From the web browser tools available to me, I can’t immediately see what the core issue is.

as an experiment can you try on of the other bbpress shortcodes eg `[bbp-topic-index]
`

to see if this is bbpress or just that shortcode

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Is your site public ? Can you publish a link ?
This could be a theme or plugin issue, so try to switch to a standard WordPress theme and check again. If the issue is still there, deactivate all plugins except bbPress and reactivate them one by one to find the culprit.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
That seems to be a WordPress question, not a bbPress specific one. Please try the WordPress forum where you might have more luck.

Hi,
If I remember well, IP addresses can only be seen by moderators and keymasters.

Check this thread to see if it helps: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-remove-ip-addresses-from-bbpress/

[spadan1963]

Exist a plugin that it show the users on-line or shortcode?

[Robkk]

I would say maybe just place the default bbPress login widget instead of your themes custom one, or customize the widgets settings if it has an option to remove the modal login, or remove the deregister widget code that has possibly removed the default bbPress login widget.

[anisk2s]

Thanks Robkk, I’ll do that. Can you please advise if I can replace the modal login with normal bbpress login, please?

Thanks

Hello,
Please use this CSS code.

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author a.bbp-author-name, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name {
display: none;
}

Please let me know if this worked for you.

[neecride]

Thanks you I found to my previous request

[Robin W]

Hi,
I’m sorry, I do not speak English. Perhaps the you will understand.

Site users are patients with multiple sclerosis. Anonymity is very important. Therefore, is not good that the are to see their IPs.
ID can be hide? And if so – how?

Thanks for any advice.

So I had to do a large import from vbulletin to make sure it would convert to bbPress, and everything works perfectly.

My question is this: There have been a few hundred more posts since my import on the client’s old site (current site) that I will need to import. Do I have to start over? Or will the importer just get new posts? I tried running the tool again, but it was still converting anonymous reply authors, which I killed because it didn’t seem to be needed. What would you suggest I do to move over the rest of the posts?

[jlober]

Debug shows nothing. With bbpress deactivated all my links within the JS support plugin work, but once activated they 404.

Let me try to find somebody more expert for bbPress imports.

WP 4.4.2
BBPress 2.5.8

I’m creating a custom import module from the Example.php file that comes with the installation. I’ve filled in the table and field for everything that is available from the previous forum software (WebWiz) and have commented out sections that don’t have information to map.

Upon start, the importer trips up at the Join part of the forum section. I need to know what to put in these areas:

		// Setup the table joins for the forum section
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename'  => 'groups_table',
			'from_fieldname'  => 'forum_id',
			'join_tablename'  => 'forums_table',
			'join_type'       => 'INNER',
			'join_expression' => 'USING groups_table.forum_id = forums_table.forum_id',
		//	'from_expression' => 'WHERE forums_table.forum_id != 1',
			'to_type'         => 'forum'
		);

The “groups_table” and the “forum_id” fields are the ones I don’t know where to find.

On a realted subject, what of these mapping statements are absolutely 100% necessary to get a successful import? I can send anyone the module code if that helps.
