Hello,

For some reason I can’t get bbPress to populate on my dashboard navigation. The only location i can see bbPress is within the customizer, but that wont let me edit forums.

I am running WP v6.2.2
I had bbPress v2.6.9 which it didnt populate on the dashboard.
I am now running v2.7.0-alpha and still having this issue.

[Robin W]

I used a plugin called “bbpress-new-topic-emailer”.

can you provide a link to this plugin?

[Robin W]

bbpress has not had a release since November 2021, so what do you mean by ‘has lately’ – if after that, then suspect something else is now making that not work.

You suggested cause (‘I suspect the code doing this is non-standard’) may be correct and something else is now causing this to show or it may not be bbpress causing this. Maybe look at what else has changed – wordpress, php versions, other plugins etc.

Without knowing your set up or indeed your technical ability (although from you post this seems to be good!) I’d also initially suggest the standard fault finding :

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

Sorry to bother but in bbpress when users type something the resulting lines of text is double or tripled space. Each break(pressing enter) results in like a 30px gap between the lines of text. How can I change this?

[Scordisian]

Actually, breadcrumbs as well and I am puzzled by the Extras folder in the templates. Can those files just be moved into the mychild/bbpress/ folder? I checked the documentation but I couldn’t find a clear answer.

[zoddshop63]

Is there any plugin that integrates with bbpress, where users can leave rate and leave feedback on other users?

[Robin W]

bbpress will use the plugin templates, you do not need to copy these to your child theme.

not sure what you want to do with breadcrumbs, is this styling or changing behavior?

Hello,

I have a WordPress website in the tattoo niche and I’m interested in adding a discussion forum where people can engage in conversations about tattoo artwork. I would like to know if it’s possible to integrate the bbPress forum with my WordPress website on body artwork.

Thank you.

I am finishing a Bootstrap 5 theme and I have some questions about the child theme structure.
From what I can asses using BBpress theme as a child theme is by doing the following:

Copy all the template/default/bbpress files into my /childtheme/bbpress folder. This works smoothly and I am happily converting and theming.

But, the class “bbp-breadcrumb” is located in the /includes/common/template.php file.
And the class “bbp-template-notice info” is located in the /includes/forumss/template.php file.

How would I go about to move this behavior to my childtheme? Copy those files there or add code to the functions.php file or something similar?

Any pointers are appreciated!

I finished populating the forum with topics and now (after typing finger therapy) need to know the following.

1. How to insure the forum can only be added to or modified by “registered” users.
2. How to facilitate user registration from the website and sign-in after they have been registered. Can someone who has previously registered be recognized thereby having to sign-in not necessary.
3. Insure new topics and info entered via the website are added to the forum (Registry).
4. How to transfer the bbpress database (and files ?) from the test.loftusweb.com to the final loftusweb.com site.

I would also like to know the upcoming lotto numbers, but won’t ask for that now.

We have ~30 WP sites on a server.
We store plugins in a central directory and slink to them from each website that uses that plugin.
(Reason: saves a lot of memory in OPCache & saves compiling the code more than once.)
This relies on plugins being well-behaved. bbpress used to work but has lately broken.
We are seeing this error:
Loading failed for the <script> with source https://www.otu.asn.au/home/lamp/wordpress/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.min.js?ver=2.6.9
What it should be trying to load:
https://www.otu.asn.au/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/js/editor.min.js?ver=2.6.9
Obviously the plugin is using the filepath to construct the loading URL, I suspect the code doing this is non-standard, causing the problem.

Temporary solution is to load the plugin into the wp-content directory of the site, rather than using the slink. This has been implemented but means that the plugin won’t update. (We do updates outside of WP using python/SVN, and apache doesn’t have write access to any directories that contain PHP files – more secure). Fortunately we don’t use the plugin on any other sites.

[enkoes]

Yes. It works beautifully! 🙂

I just found out something when I thought the issue is solved. The code works well with native bbpress role, but not work with new role created. I have a new role “prime_moderator” created using your plugin, but the code return error when I apply this new role to the codes. Any suggestions?

Regards.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I forgot to mention that I’d already tried to reset the permalinks! But, per your advice, I tried it again, and this time noticed an error message below the bottom of the browser window. Unless you scroll down you don’t see it. So… then I changed the permissions on the WordPress directory, so that it could write the .htaccess file, and it started working.

So, I was right about missing a simple configuration setting, and embarrassed that I didn’t notice it before. Just a permissions problem.

Anyway, normally I’m working on a server where the process running also owns the files. I thought I’d explore bbPress on my laptop, so they don’t match.

thank you

I used a plugin called “bbpress-new-topic-emailer”. This plugin allows email notifications for each forum. This plugin is a useful plugin.
But the sending method is CC. Is there a way to hook this to BCC with WORDPRESS functions.php?
“$headers .= ‘Bcc:” This method is for a single email account. What should I do if there is more than one?
I am waiting for good advice from all of you.

[retsacnal]

On the forum user’s profile page, the following links don’t work:

• Topics started
• Replies created
• Engagements
• Favorites
• Subscriptions
• Edit

The links all return a WP page that says “Not Found Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.”

I’ve tried three WP version (5.9.7, 6.2, 6.2.2), and two versions of bbPress (2.69 and 2.7), and I keep it very simple: just WordPress and the bbPress plugin. I’ve also tried a variety of themes, new ones and older ones. Everything else works fine–it’s just those links on the profile page that don’t.

I suspect that I’m missing a simple configuration setting or something…

Does anyone recognize that symptom and/or know what the fix is?

Thanks!

[enkoes]

They are all bbpress roles.

[Robin W]

thanks for the update.

1. Can you confirm that you have run the repair tools in dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums
2. can you confirm that making a wordpress post (ie a post or page) is quick
3. can you try editing a bbpress topic on the front end and let me know if that is erqualy slow on saving

[Robin W]

are these wordpress roles, bbpress roles, (say membership) plugin roles, or some customs roles you have written?

[Robin W]

I just had a quick look at the yoast code, and this is deliberate.

a comment in the yoast code says :

If breadcrumbs are active (which they supposedly are if the users has enabled this settings),
		 * there's no reason to have bbPress breadcrumbs as well.

WordPress v. 6.2.2
BBPress v. 2.6.9
Site (under construction): https://www.batsandblacklace.com

I am able to use the forum index shortcode while I’m editing my forums page and everything looks perfect (first screenshot). On the front end however, it looks completely different and is completely unusable (second screenshot). I have driven myself insane trying to figure this out and I’m coming up completely empty. Does anyone know what’s going on here?

Thanks!

Just an FYI this plugin does NOT work. https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-upload-for-bbpress/
Version 1.1.18 with WordPress version 6.2.2. Allows you to click on the image icon, navigate to your image and upload. Just when you think it works…. it doesn’t. Image does NOT appear when viewing the forum. (Even if you have permission rights)

Frustrated.

Hello theme Elementor bbPress template fix

[webdes44]

I’m using the latest version of WP, bbPress, and Hello by Elementor.

I created topics and replies with my admin profile and fake users, and when I click on the links of the users, it says the page cannot be found. In fact, the whole sidebar that I see here titled Topic Info doesn’t show up as well.

I see others have had this problem in the past: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-profile-link-giving-a-404-error/ I wondered if this issue was resolved. But my fake user’s username is just one word, so it’s not a spacing issue.

Here’s a link to my forum page: https://www.referralgroup.b2bopps.com/forums/forum/general-forum/

Hello everyone!!!
I have installed BBPress and BuddyPress.

When I only had BBPress, I was able to modify many fields in the BBpress profile, such as.
– First name
– Last name
– Nickname
– Bio
– @username
– Username.

Now, I have installed BBPress and BuddyPress, and I can’t find where these fields are to edit them so I can change their values. How can I put these BBPress fields in BuddyPress? Do I need a plugin?

Thanks
