Hi,
I suppose you refer to Dokan from Wedevs ? I see that some questions were already asked (https://wedevs.com/support/topic-tag/bbpress/) so I would propose to ask them what could be the issue. bbPress seem to work great with most of the other plugins on the market.

Hi,

My website it theoutdoorarmory.com

I use bbPress forums on my website here: https://theoutdoorarmory.com/forums/

What can I do to have my visitors log in through facebook before they could post on the forums?

Do I need a plug in for that?

Thanks
Dave

I have an intranet site that uses JS Support Ticket plugin for internal IT ticketing. When bbpress is activated nothing in this plugin works. I have had to disable bbpress until this can be fixed. Any thoughts on repair?

suspect this is what you are after – add it to your functions page in your child theme

add_filter( 'register_url', 'my_register_page' );
function my_register_page( $register_url ) {
    return home_url( '/register/' );
}

Stephen and all,

I guess this turned out to be harder than I hoped?

Looking at this thread I see that I never posted the Github code for the attempt to create a Zikula/Dizkus to bbPress converter, here it is if anyone would take a look.

Hi All

I’m still new to BBPress and to WordPress if I’m to be honest…

I am using the Woo Storefront Theme.

I have created a new page on my website and called it “forum” and then used the
[bbp-forum-index] shortcode on that page.

1. I have installed a plugin that allows me to turn off my page title but for some reason BBPress seems to be overriding this feature which is working fine on all my other pages? How do I turn my page title off within BBPress?

2. I have also set up a few forums, one of them called “School Community Discussion”
Inside this “parent” forum I have created two child forums called “Michael Mount Waldorf School” and “Moore House Academy”

When I click on one of the child forums to post a new topic, there is no “new post” window for me to add a new post. This window is only available at the parent forum level!? How do I resolve this?

3. I must say that I’m dumbfounded that BBPress doesn’t have a “Post new Topic” button that will allow you to click and then select whichever forum you want to post into from a dropdown menu. I there any way to create a button like this?

Thx
Kb

I followed the steps, but the right sidebar doesn’t show up, the main-sidebar is still vissible.

My code in the functions.php:

function rkk_widgets_init(){
	register_sidebar(array(
		'id' => 'bbp-sidebar',
		'name' => __( 'Forum sidebar', 'rkk' ),
		'description' => __( 'Sidebar voor het forum', 'rkk' ),
		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="forum-widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</div>',
		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title' => '</h3>'
	));
}
add_action('widgets_init', 'rkk_widgets_init');

The code in the sidebar.php:

<?php if (is_active_sidebar('main-sidebar') && !is_bbpress()) : ?>
	<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
		<?php dynamic_sidebar('main-sidebar'); ?>
	</div><!-- .widget-area -->
	
<?php elseif (is_active_sidebar('bbp-sidebar') && is_bbpress()) : ?>

	<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
		<?php dynamic_sidebar('bbp-sidebar'); ?>
	</div><!-- .widget-area -->
<?php endif; ?>

In the backend, the forum widget does appear, and I can add Widgets to it. Only on the front-end, on forum pages, he doesn’t show the right sidebar.

Hi,
This is a known issue for the moment. A ticket has been opened: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2906

Hello,

I just updated a recent installation of bbPress (version 2.4.? to 2.5.8) today and “Change Forum Role” in the Users>All Users interface is not working. However, the all roles (site role & forum role) are editable when following the edit link under the users’ name. This is a version 4.4.2 Multisite installation and I have tested bbPress both as a Network install and a single site install with the same results. Here are some screen captures…

After clicking the Change button:

Thank you,

There are many plugins that should do the trick.

Just search for wp login redirect or maybe also add bbpress to the search terms.

[Robin W]

not really a bbpress question, but this should help – in effect you do each query/set with the connection details.

$user="xxx";
$password="yyy";
$database="zzz";
$host="aaa";
$con=mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password,$database);
$query="select user_email from wp_users where ID=".$id ; 
$result = mysqli_query($con,$query) or die("failed to get result1"); 

or

to update

$update= "UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content =\"".$post2."\" WHERE ID=".$id2 ;
mysqli_query($con,$update)  ;

So it isn’t taking you to where you want it to also huh? I click on public discussion and it takes me to my post page, which I dont have any post since this is not a blog site. I have latest bbpress and wordpress.

Setting up a new forum, and need some input. (this isn’t an installation question, but it also didn’t fit into any other forum category, so it’s going here until someone lets me know otherwise.)

Looking to do a single-page forum, with managed/moderated (top level) topics, and open commenting there-after.

I’m a little unsure of where I need categories/forums/topics.

I will have a fixed number of categories (my term here, not bbp-catagories I think), that will be “Genres.” I don’t think bbpress-categories work here, as I can only have forums and not posts under them. Also I want the ability to “enable/disable” the active ones, and all of their content, depending on the month.

Under each category, I want primary “posts”/topics. Each one will be an article, something like either a review or a historical analysis. These will be written by specific authors, and moderated/approved by an admin. Normal users can’t post at this level (although maybe a submission form down the line, but still would have to be approved by a moderator.).

Then below that, the whole of registered users can comment/discuss. This would be the heart of the forum.

So it would be more of something like a newssite with comments, than a traditional open-ended forum. [Or like the old slash dot used to be, with primary articles (usually links to other content with a little commentary by the user that submitted it), and the bulk of the community activity was the discussion on each story.] But still would like it driven by bbpress, as that leaves room for future expansion/changes without having to restart.

So what’s the best way to leverage the categories/forums/topic here?

3 categories, each with 1 forum in it?
3 different forums (ignore the category)?
Try to use something else like tags?
Other?

As this is so simple, I had a question about how to do this on a single page [3 key elements: 1) menu for genre/category, 2) sidebar with recent items for the genre/category, and 3) content area populated from whatever was clicked on in sidebar. No page for individual post. No topics/directory/archive page. Single page is all that’s needed.] but think I need to get the categories/forums/topics sorted out first.

[bodybyloud]

I’m having the same issue. I’m using divi theme and bbpress shortcode for forum index. http://bodybyloud.com/Bodybyloud%20LoudTalk%20Forums/forum/introduction/ the post page comes up when you click on the Introduction forum I created.
wordpress- 4.4.2
bbppress – 2.5.8

@swstarone this could be bbPress theme compatibility/WordPress theme related issue, an seo plugin could possibly cause this, title tag updates in WordPress could cause this too.

you can notice that there no username or nickname displaying on the page.

This could be a bbPress theme compatibility issue/theme issue. The title could be outputted if the page is_single(), but the user profile pages do not do this.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2545

This php code snippet could help with the issue though.

function rkk_add_title_to_user() {
    ?>
        <h1 class="entry-title"><?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ); ?></h1>
    <?php
 }
 add_action( 'bbp_template_before_user_details', 'rkk_add_title_to_user' );

[Robkk]

Sorry for the late reply.

If it is pending the only thing in bbPress’ code that can add posts into pending is when a post contains a word in the comment moderation input box in Settings > Discussion and like I said before some plugins could add their own blacklist and hook into this, so make sure you have some spam plugins while you are testing this.

In the past there was a user that had to approve posts manually because a plugin at the root of the users server called “mojo marketplace” has a hidden blacklist inside of it that affected the posts.

You may also want to remove the “http” and “wwww” in your blacklist as this may be affecting it too.

I’m using a child theme and I’m trying to make CSS adjustments to the forum list. I need to get rid of float + width because the numbers are not aligned with the titles (topic, voices, replies, last post). Whatever I try, bbpress ignores my changes. I tried adding the new CSS to style.css in my child theme as well as adding it to Jetpack’s custom CSS. I did even add the extra code to functions.php in my child theme so that bbpress style could be overwritten without using !important. Using !important doesn’t work either. I really don’t know what else to try. My theme is not perfect for bbpress, so I need to tweak a few things.

[blandow]

When someone uses bbPress login on my forum page, it redirects them to then login to the main WP login page, which then sends them back to the site’s homepage….how do I just let them login and remain on Forum page??

[Robkk]

Copy the default bbPress templates to a folder called bbpress in a child theme then you can edit the templates how you would like.

The files you are looking for is form-anonymous.php and form-reply.php.

Here is a guide that will explain this a little more.

Cheers for the info Pascal. I’ve installed bbPress bbPress 2.6 but unfortunately the problem persists. There is no table prefix used in the forum i am converting from so have left this field blank when attempting to convert. Is this acceptable? Thanks for the help! Ollie

Hey y’all. I’m trying to import a bbpress forum from one site to another and am experiencing troubles getting my replies to show up. I’ve imported .xml files for my forum, topics, and replies (I had to separate out my replies into batches bc it was so large). In my admin section it shows that there are 442 published replies however none show up on the table. I’ve tried “Recalculate the position of each reply” in Repair Forums but get a blank screen every time.

I tried increasing my execution time in .htacess by adding php_value max_execution_time 900 and still nothing.

Any suggestions on how I can get this replies to show up? Thanks!
