Hi,

Check out the bbpress shortcuts on https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/
Under the ‘Topics’ header you will probably find what you need.

Pascal.

Hi,

The 2 that I know most people use are ‘GD bbPress attachments’ and ‘bbPress Multi Image Uploader’.

I want to extend forum support on my website to get my users more engage. I have a Tech Website – Can anyone here give me a detailed tutorial to setup bbpress on WordPress? It will be a great help.

[Andrew Tibbetts]

Ooops.
I have been jumping back and forth testing forum home and topics as they both don’t work and I copied the wrong line I was using.
So, correction:

…when i put echo is_singular( bbp_get_topic_post_type() ) ? 'yes' : 'no'; exit; on line 255 of bbpress/includes/common/template.php inside bbp_is_single_topic(), I get a white page that says “no”.

I get the same “no” doing the forum check in the forum function while on the forum page.

[CozzieF]

Hi!

I am getting the above message. Additionally, I’ve noticed in the menu that the forum is listed as a ‘post type archive’. Are the two connected?

I have recently moved to a new theme so I’m wondering if that could be the issue.

I have disabled all the plugins and left just the bbpress one active to check there is no interference but its’ still not working.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

[Andrew Tibbetts]

Thanks, Stephen.
Ok, so, Query Monitor is telling me that topic pages are returning true on a bunch of is_s:

is_page()
is_singular()
is_bbpress()
bbp_is_single_topic()
is_buddypress()
bp_is_group()
bp_is_group_forum_topic()
bp_is_group_single()
bp_is_groups_component()
bp_is_single_item()

But, when i put echo is_singular( bbp_get_forum_post_type() ) ? 'yes' : 'no'; exit; on line 255 of bbpress/includes/common/template.php inside bbp_is_single_topic(), I get a white page that says “no”.

Thanks Maury for the reply. I did nothing literally. I installed the bbpress plugin from inside wp. I then created a page called forum in optimizepress, picked a template which is screenshot1. In the template I simply added this [bbp-forum-index]

Other than that I did nothing

forum root slug is discussion
single forum slug is forum

I didnt copy anything or move anything, I am semi illiterate on that, but with step by step I can handle it.

WP Version 4.4.1, bbpress 2.5.8, http://de.movemeta.org/foren/

Hi,

just like in WordPress.org and bbpress.org forums, I would like to enable users to insert blank lines to be visible after posting. Please tell me how to accomplish this – I know that the limitation is there to prevent users posting 1000 lines in a row, but clearly, to have at least one blank line was considered preferable around here, too.

Thank you,
Manuel

@andrewgtibbetts can you install the following two plugins and take another look?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor-bbpress-buddypress-conditionals/

Here’s what I see, is_single(), is_singular() and bbp_is_single_topic() all return true

[Stephen Edgar]

@ dots Nice size forum, heres a few things that I hope will help:

Firstly, can you try by using bbPress 2.6-alpha, you can find it here https://bbpress.org/download/

1) Sometimes scripts are automatically stopped and script not start automatically.

Sometimes things timeout, a workaround for this is to open another tab in your browser to example.com/wp-admin and refresh it occasionally

2) Currently, lots of data is still pending to import in BBPress but the script is not running and in tools bottom section I can see only “Starting Conversion” and loader.

This is similar to 1), by refreshing you should in another browser tab this should keep that issue at bay, this particular issue is usually when PHP drops the MySQL connection and needs refreshing to update the connection between WordPress and the database.

3) I have noticed in the tool having the duplication issue you can see above in Xenforo only 83,813 topics but BBPress tool imported 83,867 records. So 54 records are duplicates. so this issue resolved using BBPress repair forum tabs?

It could be duplicates, though I’ve only ever tested 3 or 4 Xenforo forums with bbPress, potentially using the repair tools might fix this though without some more information here it will be hard to take a guess. If you can supply a copy of a couple of duplicates I can take a closer look as to the reason why.

4) BBPress import tool taking random data from the Xenforo database. I have noticed when I have started the script first the users come from the Xenforo. But unfortunately, the users are skipped and the tool has started to import the topic. So, I am a bit confused here BBpress import tool can complete import all the users, topic, forums, and replies successfully? you can see above my total Xenforo user is 1,59,679 and BBPress tool has imported only 94,600. and the now script has started to import replies.

Again, it should do all of this correctly, though testing with bbPress 2.6-alpha per above will hopefully fix many, or most of the issues you are having, can you try using 2.6-alpha and let me know how that goes for you please 🙂

Also a couple more tips in our docs:

It seems that the solution suggested here does also work.

@membershipsite101
Don’t know if we are talking about the same problem. It seems like your site is using a different HEADER template for the Welcome page. Also noted that the Welcome page is a subpage of the HELP page, not of the FORUMS page. Are you using bbpress shortcodes for this? You might want to check the bbpress settings page and see if the slugs are set correctly.
But anyway, I looked at your site and I noticed that the bbpress.css file was being loaded from the bbpress plugin directory, not from the theme directory.
Did you in fact copy the template.php file you want to use into the theme directory and rename it bbpress.php? I also strongly suggest copying the bbpress.css file into the theme directory as well so you can make changes to the bbpress styling easily.
Hope this helps.
Maury

I am really lost on this also, I need HELP and optimizepress support was completely useless, odd that they have user roles functionality already built in for bbpress.

In the screenshots (members area protected forum, sorry)
The first screen, everything is great until you click on the topic Welcome, then it picks a completely different template and it has almost driven me to tears for the last 5 hours

ANYONE, tell me what to do and I can do it. (usually lol)

Hello,
I would like to create a sub menu that displays all the admin links in it. You can find more details over here at GitHub.
https://github.com/tech55541/BBPress-Options-Drop-Down/issues/1

Anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thanks.

[goatherdtoo]

Well I have 4.4.1 installed and BBPress and cannot post new topic because I have to have Plain links instead of date and name links…. so I either can’t post topics or see my front page!
ANY SUGGESTIONS ANYONE?
It’s driving me mad……Help!
What’s the point of a forum if you can’t post….?

[JC1520]

How do i remove “Create New Topic” as it shows as default at the bottom of my forum i would like to remove this.
I want to disable “Create New Topic” in for all logon users
I want to control the topics myself and only allow particpants to reply to topics that are in the forum. I have the lastest version of WP and BBpress.

When BBPress is turned off, the error stops. When it is turned back on, the error starts again.

Also, the BBPress rewrite rules, especially the root rewrite stub, are the only place in the entire code base that I can find the rewrite rule RegEx fragment.

[Pelowtz]

I am having the same problem as @aaronos.

The bbPress page with the shortcode has the URL /forums, with the page title of “Forum”
The forum root slug is set to “forum” in the forum settings
The single forum slugs is set to “forums”
The yoast SEO breadcrumb I am using shows home>forum on the forum index page (/forums)
When I click into a topic the URL changes to /forum/forums/[FORUM TITLE]
On the /forum/forums URLS the Yoast breadcrumb changes to “/forums” but it actually links to “/forum”

NOTE: /forum is a page that does not technically exist (i.e. I did not create a page with this URL) yet some random topics show up on this page.

I have tried every iteration of changing the UTL of the index page, the page name, and the two settings in bbPress with no success.

I have to set the forum index URL to /forums for my forum index page to look properly, but essentially whenever I navigate to any post or topic the breadcrumb breaks.

Thanks for any guidance and advice.

I love how this forum works – I’m sure I’m not the first to ask so apologies – please can someone point me to any simple steps to make my install of bbpress have the forum categories on the left as a menu, offer email notifications, allow tags etc?

Thank you 🙂

Jack

[deadtomorrow]

Hiya!

Please can someone recommend a plugin/s that:

1) allow users to upload images to bbpress?
2) preferably creates some form of simple gallery or allows multiple uploads per post
3) takes one of the uploaded images and automatically adds them to the Buddypress feed and ideally, adds one image in the Forum view as well, like an image preview?

Thanks 🙂

Jack

I am trying to remove the author’s real name and only display the @ username.

With the code I found here, I could add the username below the name. But how can I remove the real name and only display the @ username?

Hi,
thanks, I did just that! https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2909#ticket

Hi,
I must be missing something, but why do you think this is bbPress related ?
