Hello,
I am wondering how I can add a mentions system to BBPress. Is there a way to do it without using BuddyPress? I really do not want to install something that I will not use half the features out of.

Just so we all know what this is about, when I say mentions I mean something like @usernamex. I guess another word for it would be user tagging.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi, I’m writing a plugin that wraps around most of the bbpress pages using add_action
for some reason when I try
add_action('bbp_template_before_search',
it works, but only with text. when I check the source files in the web inspector it’s missing javascript files for my plugins.

I’m using wp_enqueue_script to add my script, it works on /forums so I don’t really understand why It wouldn’t for the search page

Thanks a lot for your assistance, Pascal. This is the Slimstat support thread.

Hi,

many of us in our new forums noticed that we have to double click on many links on the forums to open them. It starts right at our forums root page, please have a look yourself. Do you have any idea what we can do about it?

I already upgraded our hosting package to rule out server limitations. We should have more than enough server power now, even though our whole site is still quite slow (probably due to our premium theme), including the backend (if compared to some YouTube How-Tos, where they have lightning fast page load times).

We are running on WP 4.4.2 (currently latest) w/ MS setup, bbpress 2.5.8.

Thanks for your help
Manuel

Once you’ve installed bbpress if you use the plugin

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups

then you can create groups with access to different forums, or indeed groups of forums

Hi Pascal,

Thanks for the response and help. I’m a complete newbie. I understand I need to change

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: inline;
}

to

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: block;
}

But am completely clueless as to how to make that change.

I’m using theme 2010 and went to Appearance -> Editor -> and then copied entire thing and pasted it into a word document and did a “control-f” using

“#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: inline;
}”

and “#bpress-forums” or just “forums” and couldn’t find where I needed to make the change.

I’m probably making this much more difficult than I need to…How do I do about making this change?

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

All I want to do is have my website show other users’ basic info when I click their name in a forum post.

That’s what it is supposed to do – click my name here and you’ll go to my profile !

Still not working.

Before my first post I did try those two steps (I was paying attention and did read the “Before posting” post at the top of the page).

But I did try again. I deactivated all but bbpress. When I attempted to change the theme to twentyfifteen I discovered that I didn’t have the most up to date version of WordPress, so I updated it. I now have all but bbpress deactivated and the twentyfifteen theme installed, and still no luck with the forums.

I appreciate all your help. Any more ideas?

I’ve never heard of Dizkus 🙁

You could try making some more changes to the phpBB importer yourself if it already partially works:

Custom Import

Also checkout both of these for SMF and phpBB for the upcoming bbPress 2.6 release.

before you do that, lets just eliminate theme and plugin.

Cool…

Looking into supporting importing avatars to at least support BuddyPress’ avatars out of the box is one of the many things on my todo list that I just haven’t got to yet, maybe I’ll take a look at it for bbPress 2.7, 2.6 is close to being out the door so fingers crossed for 2.7 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

On the avatars front, maybe this will help?

If you look at the phpBB importer it has the callback_html and parses a bunch or regular expressions to manipulate the previous BBCode or HTML strings, will that work for you?

Awesome 🙂

Just to add that the standard Drupal forums module for Drupal 7 was included in bbPress 2.5, I’m not sure if there is anything in that that you may not have in your Drupal 6.

Also, two of the importers SMF and phpBB have some cool new things for the upcoming bbPress 2.6, importing favourites, subscriptions, anonymous topics/replies/posts, you may want to have a look there to see if they help in importing more data from Drupal

Hi,
If you have bbPress 2.5.8, you should have ‘Tools > Forums > Import Forums’.
If you start from scratch, know that version 2.6-alpha has better import functionalities. Although already very stable, as it says, it’s still alpha version.

Hi,
So you have bbPress translated into CZ if I understand correctly ?
If so, would you mind helping with the translation for the whole CZ community ? https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/cs/default/wp-plugins/bbpress

If you are interested, I can guide you on becoming PTE for bbPress, let me know. Then you can import you .po file and everybody can have bbPress in CZ then !

Thanks,
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
You could do this by copying the bbPress php file needed to a (child) theme and then modify it accordingly.

I had looked at several videos and none of them talked about step 3 and setting up a page. I have now done that and I can view the page (called: forums). And the test forum I set up has “forums” in the forum root slug heading. But I still get page not found. This is the address of the forum I have set up:

http://portwennonline.com/wordpress/forums/forum/dmforum/

I’m now starting to wonder if the issue has to do with Aabaco. This is the company that recently took over the Yahoo web hosting. I followed the guide above step-by-step I’ve even tried deleting all of the created pages and forums I’ve set up, deleted bbpress from my plugins and then reinstalled it and tried again – I’ve actually done this several times. Do you think a call to Aabaco might solve the issue?

Hiya,
I apologize if this is the wrong section but I have a quick inquiry for you all. Is there a bbpress plugin that creates a notifications widget.

So basically say a standard user is sent a private message from another user but I’ve removed my admin bar…. is there an existing plugin to create a widget that would display notifications which I could place on my page to show that private message is waiting to be read in a similar way to the admin bar?

Alternatively how would one go about editing the admin bar to remove the content to the left like the wordpress logo or “visit site” / dashboard tachometer icon?

Thanks in advance to all who respond!
