This is my scenario,

I create a private Forum of type category , then I create two public forums to type forum which are the children of that category forum. I get a nice category level organization, when I click on the url,

Home/ Forums/ Private: DummyCategory.

But when I click on one of the forums :: Home/ Forums/ Private: DummyCategory/ DummyForum1

all the posts that do not belong to that forum shows up. It means if I post in DummyForum2 or 1 or any forum, when I click Home/ Forums/ Private: DummyCategory/ DummyForum1 , all the posts show up.

It can’t be by design ? Is this a bug ? Most likely some settings need to be changed in the bbpress I suppose , any idea ?

Just for additional details I am using code to add into the forum. I can get the parent child relations between the forums displayed properly, the insertion of the topic goes to the right parent forum. But then that bug shows up.

if (!function_exists('bbp_insert_topic')) {
            require_once '/includes/topics/functions.php';
        }

        echo "All fine here ??? Did it reached ";
        $forum_ID = $selectmyID;
        $terms = array(bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id() => $key_pieces);
        // The topic data.
        $topic_data = array(
        'post_parent'       => $forum_ID, // forum ID of Projects  hard coded
        'post_status'       => bbp_get_public_status_id(),   // Subscribed users can see this
        'post_content'      => $my_content,
        'post_title'        => $slug,
        'comment_status'    => 'open',
        'menu_order'        => 0,
        'tax_input'         => $terms  
        );

        // The topic meta.
        $topic_meta = array(
        'forum_id'    => $topic_data['post_parent'],
        'reply_count' => 0
        );

        // NOTICE! Understand what this does before running.
        $post_id = bbp_insert_topic($topic_data, $topic_meta);
        bbp_stick_topic($post_id , true);                         // Making it super sticky !

        echo "The post id returned is " . $post_id;
        echo "Sucessfully inserted the post" . $slug . " programmatically !!!!";

Thank you Pascal, I guess I misunderstood, it seemed to me that the Activity Stream was a bbPress feature. I will look into what you sent and if needed, post my questions over at BuddyPress. I appreciate your time.

Hello, I want to create something like this “http://www.freeride.se/admarket/” where you as an bbpress user have the possibility to sell an item. I don’t want the functionality like woocommerce or such. I don’t need the checkout and everything. I just want something where I can add a picture, put a description of the item, input the email address and maybe a telephone number. Does bbpress support this with some extension? I would like it to look at the link provided. Thanks!

Why isnt my bbpress sidebar not showing on my website. is there a theme issue? Any help is appreciated.

Hello. I would like to create a topic in my forum with important informations and I would like that all the participants receive these informations without to subscribe to this topic (because some of them will forget). Do you know how to do that ? Thanks !

Trying to display fewer replies for mobile users.

Before getting to the mobile users ran into a problem that the following filter:

function mobile_replies() {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 10;
return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'mobile_replies', 10, 1 ); 

Works, but, it does not change pagination values in the view loop-single-topic.php problem is with the function bbp_topic_pagination()

For whatever reason it is not affected by filters.

In addition changing the rendering type to “list” with this function affects everything else, but not the pagination show in single forum view.

function bbpress_custom_pagination( $args ) {

	$args['type'] = 'list';
	$args['prev_text'] = '«';
	$args['next_text'] = '»';

	return $args;

}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'bbpress_custom_pagination' );
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_pagination', 'bbpress_custom_pagination' );
add_filter( 'bbp_replies_pagination', 'bbpress_custom_pagination' );

Any thoughts?

Probably adding filters to wrong functions

Okay….so I was on the WordPress forums thinking it was the bbPress forums….I know, I know. DUH!!

Complete NOOB here. I’m looking to create a forum based community.
I’m using Twenty Ten them and have started created my forum with bbPress.

I have a “Master Forum” with with sub-forums “North”, “Central” and “South”. It is displaying as:

Location
North (0, 0), Central (0, 0), South (0, 0)

I’m assuming the “(0,0)” after each sub-forum title is the number of topics and replies. I want to remove those on the main forum page so it looks like:

Location
North
Central
South

Any ideas?

I’ve just imported my SMF forum to bbPress with little trouble. However, all of my posts are now showing as being written by anonymous. Is there a simple MySQL query I can run that would change all of my topics and replies to myself instead of having to trawl through hundreds of posts to do it manually? 🙂

[TKServer]

Wow I can’t believe it but I figured this out.

Basically I wrote a function that looks for a result to the bbpress function bbp_reply_id();

IF there’s a result, then replaced my $item_id (the actual post id such as $post->ID) with the id of the reply.

That did the trick. One problem though is that the bbpress bbp_reply_id(); function echoes the number, so I had to clean the echo off like this:

ob_start();
  $result = bbp_reply_id();
  ob_end_clean();

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[KubiK888]

The freshness indicator on my site is all wrong – http://epilens.com/forums/. I have tried using the bbpress repair tool with no success. Please advice.

[TKServer]

I decided to program my own Like/Dislike plugin so I could customize it and tweak it for my exact needs. It’s working great in my custom threaded forum view for bbpress here:

Ute Fan Board

By using the hook bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links I’m able to get the like buttons to show up in the bbpress topics and replies, but they’re all the parent topic. See photo below.

Here’s one of my hooks:

//adds the like buttons right of the time on forum posts in bbpress
function tk_after_bbpress_content() {
     $custom_content_after_forum_title = tk_like_buttons();
    echo $custom_content_after_forum_title;
}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links', 'tk_after_bbpress_content' );

Hoping perhaps @robkk or @casiepa have some ideas? I can’t get the post id into the plugin for replies. Thanks!

I feel like I’m missing something really obvious here, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what it is.

I just installed bbPress on my website today: http://naughtyerotica.org/forums/ When I go there and click on the only forum I have created thus far, I get an error message, “PRIVATE – You do not have permission to view this forum.”

Since I created the damn forum, this is more than a little confusing to me, lol.

I’ve never tried to host my own forum before, so I am (almost guaranteed) missing something obvious here.

TIA!

Easy, just install bbpress and activate plugin.

From dashboard you create a forum and publish

Then go to appearance => menus, and add forums to your navigation.

But the link Pascal gave should give you a good start

[peter-hamilton]

Is this BBPress though, I see xenoforo code only

Hi,

Bumped into an issue that i can’t seem to figure out. Please help.

I have a wp blog(matheson theme) and a bbpress forum.

Trying to remove the sidebar from posts but keep it on side in the forum.

When i go to customize menu there is an option to make the posts 100% width. The sidebar moves to the bottom instead of going away. So i went to single.php and removed <?php get_sidebar(); ?> which removes it all together. Great, or so i thought.

The issue is now the forum is full-width and the sidebar is on the bottom instead of the side.

any suggestions would be much appreciated. the site is http://goo.gl/M4s9RG

sorry someone has edited that page and made it less helpful.

Try

Now we have some forums, we need to have somewhere to display them.
There are two ways to do this. Most themes support method 1, and this can (can not will) produce tighter theme integration on style [Note this was true for v 2.2 not sure if it still is !]. However Method 2 allows you to have some introductory words. Your choice…!
Method 1
This requires a couple of checks first
a. In Dashboard>settings>forums look for what is set in the forum root under the forum root slug heading. The default is ‘forums’ but you can set this to anything
b. In Dashboard>settings>permalinks check that the common settings check is set to ‘postname’ If it isn’t and you don’t want to change it, then use method 2.
Now just create a wordpress page that has the heading that was found in a. above eg if the root slug is ‘forums’ create a page with the title ‘forums’, and save.
Once the permalink has been created, you can rename the page to whatever you wish eg ‘mysite forums’ (as the permalink will stay the same, and it is this permalink that bbpress looks for)
Save this page, add it to a menu if you are using custom menus, or decide its order if you have automatic menus. Then publish it to your site.
Job done!
Method 2
If either your theme doesn’t work with method 1, you don’t want permalinks with postname, or you want to use some introductory text (eg “welcome to our forums…”, then method 2 is for you.
In dashboard>pages
go to add new page
Call this ‘Forums’ or whatever you want your menu item to be.
Then in the content section, you may want to have some introductory words “welcome to the forum” etc. then add the following bbpress shortcode
[bbp-forum-index]
Save this page, add it to a menu if you are using custom menus, or decide its order if you have automatic menus. Then publish it to your site.
You will now have a forum page, and a forum to display.

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Hi,
Would any of my answers here help ? https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/setup-login-for-private-forum/

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
I’m not aware of anything that would upload voice messages directly.
For uploading files (like a .wav or .mp3), the 2 products I know of are ‘GD bbpress Attachments’ and ‘bbPress Multi Image Uploader’. Have a look if it would fit your needs.

If you use BuddyPress as well, then there is also ‘BuddyPress Forum Editor’.

I installed bbPress and am following the “creating content” instructions from this webpage:

Creating Content

I created a forum using the instructions under “Creating a Forum”. The forum (called “Purchasing”) shows up under (Forums: All Forums) in my control panel.
The instructions say that my forum will be created at:
http://yourdomain.com/forums/forum/yourforumname

But when I look at my wordpress pages in the control panel, there is no page for “forum” or any subforum created yet.

How do I actually put the forum as a “forum” page in my website? Even though I create forums, there is no forum page created. Do I have to create that top level “forum” page manually using an “add page” from my dashboard?
Thanks,

[Robin W]

Quickest way is to hide it using css

so in your style.css add

.bbp-pagination-count {
   display: none;
}
