How to keep members in their own forum?

I have a site “mysite.com” with wordpress/bbpress, currently this site has 1 forum for a club-A, all the registered users use this forum. All members are manually activated. All is good. ( I love BBpress! )

HOWEVER -“IF” I were to wish to add another forum for Club-B within “mysite.com” and keep those users seperate from the CLUB-A forum and vice-versa how is that accomplished?

It seems that within wordpress/bbpress all registered users would normally have access to both forums.

Example: “Joe” could be a member of Club-A and Club-B and therefore should have access to both of those forums. “Sally” is only a member of Club-A and therefore should only access Club-A forum.

I do have the following plugins that “may” help- but not sure how to implement them to accomplish this or if it’s even possible.

1 – Capabilities Manager
2 – WP Members
3 – login-logout redirects

Ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas that you can provide – I’m stumped! So far everything I have thought of to accomplish this has failed- so I thought I’d ask here before I end up breaking something.

Good day guys!

I have the same issue with two forums; an English and a French one.
When I shortcode to one from a page called up by a menu item, it displays fine, but when I do the same from another menu item(the French one) from another page, and shortcode to the other forum, then bbPress shows both of the forums.

See it here.

@robkk Unforuntaly I haven’t heard back from @johnjamesjacoby yet, I can imagine he’s a busy guy, and this doesn’t appear to be the simplest of bugs to fix. It obviously appears to be a front end issue, yet is still happening without any themes or plugins (other than bbPress) enabled.

I’ve been actively updating all my plugins as new versions come out. I think I’m going to make a copy of my site on my localhost and see if the problem persists there, ruling out the possibility of a server issue, will keep this thread updated. That is however, the last thing I can try to the extent of my bbPress knowledge.

Thanks for your reply!

Hello all,

several times I tried to import my vBulletin forum to bbpress, but it always seems to stall at some spot and starts outputting dashes. For some reason, it doesn’t always stall at the same spot. I have increased the memory limit, frequently refresh an admin page on a separate tab to keep the user session alive, but nothing seems to prevent those dashes from appearing. Stopping and restarting the process only produces more dashes where it left off; the only thing that does some trick is flushing the previous import data and starting clean.

Is there a mySQL / phpMyAdmin guide somewhere to help me out do that conversion the hardcore way, please? @netweb?

Hi

I want to see Demo of bbPress ? Can anyone please share url where I can check different styles of bbPress ?

I want to install bbPress on my website

@kallard

Checking your site again, the padding for the bbPress forum header that shows the labels looks a little cozy to the left, you may need to edit the padding-left: 0 !important;, by default I think the padding is set to about 8px, maybe setting 0 to 8px or removing the !important might help with that.

@casiepa

That code will make it where if you visit your profile the title tag will display Your, instead of, Your Profile, Your Topics, or Your Favorites, etc.

@deall

Use something like this for only the single topic, and single forum pages.

Add this php code snippet into your child themes functions.php file, or in a plugin like functionality.

 function rkk_custom_titles( $new_title ){
   if ( bbp_is_single_forum() ) {
  		$new_title['format'] = esc_attr__( '%s', 'bbpress' );

  	// Topic page
    } elseif ( bbp_is_single_topic() ) {
  		$new_title['format'] = esc_attr__( '%s', 'bbpress' );

  	}
     return $new_title;
 }

 add_filter( 'bbp_before_title_parse_args', 'rkk_custom_titles' );

Hi! i was just looking for some help to customise redirecting my bb press login pages.

Currently when people register with my website using bbpress. it looks part of my website. but if they are met with the “ERROR: This username is already registered. Please choose another one.
or
ERROR: This email is already registered, please choose another one.”

then this message is displayed on a new page. (I have already changed the logo so it does not display the wordpress logo)

but i would like the page to be views inside my website to look part of the website, like the register option is.

The same goes for the “registration complete” page,
Right now those pages look like a seperate website due to the page completely changing, Is this possible to change?

One more thing, is there a way also to allow users to create a password upon registering, it seems a nuisance to have to register, then check your emails, visit a new page to create a password and then log in. Thats 4 steps to take.

Im not great with coding so ideally the less coding the better,

I did have another login plugin which did all this in the settings section but i think i need to use bbprress login as i have the bbpress forum. I don’t think any other login plugin will work to log into the bbpress forum.

Hi Robkk -thank you for addressing this – I see you on here all the time and I’m so glad I got you specifically. If anyone can solve this-it is you.

Allow me to first give you a heads up on what I have here:

1. WordPress (current version)
2. BBpress (current Version)
3. I am currently running only one (1) forum with topics
(may be more forums later- but for now its enough)

Goal: to have “Recent Forum Topics” as a scrolling widget rather than a long static list in my sidebar. I am currently displaying 10 most recent, and would like to scroll 3 of the 10 most recent at a time. (Sounds simple enough -but I have experienced otherwise)

I used this plugin as it seemed to be the closest fit, but it only seems to scroll “Posts” not “Recent Forum Topics” http://www.gopiplus.com/work/2010/07/18/vertical-scroll-recent-post/
(can be found in the WP admin plugins directory)

This plugin widget seems to work great for POSTS, if it did “Recent Forum Topics” it would be perfect.

I have had contact with the author, several emails – he has been very gracious, and prompt in his responses, however, there may be a communication problem in differentiating “Posts” from “Recent Forum Topics”. This is why I’ve finally posted here.

Thank you for your efforts and assistance.

I used this plugin http://www.gopiplus.com/work/2010/07/18/vertical-scroll-recent-post/

@boscagoo

Since this is exporting from bbPress/WordPress to phpBB, I say contact the phpBB community in their support forums.

[Robkk]

No it is not really about content, what I think your experiencing is a bug. I have seen it before on these forums.

It has to do with using lists <li> and not surrounding it in an unordered <ul> or ordered list <ol>.

This issue might be happening, because bbPress uses lists for its forum layout.

To fix it, you can edit your post and make sure that the lists <li></li> have a surrounding unordered or ordered list around it like so.

<ul>
    <li>Some List</li>
</ul>

How do I add the number of posts under the name and the symbolic images of the user?

Post count is coming to a future release of bbPress. You can use a plugin like this to add the counts for now.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/

What exactly do you mean by symbolic images??

How do I change the title to any user of an optional title?
Ex: the title of the current user in the Forum (supervisor) want to have the title of supervisor (supervisor pictures)

You can rename the current forum roles to whatever you want with this php code snippet in this guide. Add the function to your child themes functions.php or in a plugin that can hold custom code snippets like functionality.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

You can also create custom user roles with custom capabilities and add the custom names there.

Custom Capabilities

How to determine the powers of the supervisors so far have not I transfer Lists Musharraf to it have all the powers modification and deletion of all sections I wanted to be the powers of the supervisor on only a particular section

Assigning a user to a forum is not possible in the default functionality of the latest stable version of bbPress.

[Robkk]

Check out this topic where the original file came from. A user talks about about the same issue in this post.

Forums index in the same layout as other bb software

Hi,

I have two admin users on my WordPress install.

I have the latest bbpress (2.5.8) installed and the latest wordpress (4.3.1).

Users can post new topics without issue.

However, when I go to reply, I get the message that “You do not have permission to reply” even though both admin users have the Keymaster role.

I have reset the bbpress system twice now (tools-forums-reset forums) and still no joy.

I believe that this plugin may just be trying to kill me. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Problem occurs using Twenty Twelve as a theme as well.

Any and all help is appreciated.

My forum is at: https://www.bsop.ca/forums/forum/lightroom/

Hi all 🙂

I would have to know, i want to build a website + forum where i’ll register myself users (they won’t be able to do it by themself, register button will be hidden i think), but after that, i would have to know if i can “ask” bbpress to ask users to change their password at their first connexion ?

Thanks !

Best regards,
Talion.

Please help me…
Thankyou

[bschaich]

All I want is a forum on the entry site of my wordpress and nothing else. I supposed that for this I need to make a page and use one of the bbpress shortcodes. BUT this does not work. No matter what I enter as a shortcode, I get back an empty page.

I’ve seen some old entries that there is a “whitelist” plugin, but there is no mentioning anywhere on bbpress that this is needed -I don’t get it.

Could anyone help here and enlighten me?

Regards,
Benny

I recently imported phpbb 3.0 into bbpress 2.5.8.

The converter seemed to run without issue. I then went down the repair forums list and repaired each relationship on the list.

However, there seems to be no pagination when viewing a topic.

Pagination is working fine when viewing the list of topics in a forum, but when you click on a topic there is no pagination. This is a big issue since some topics have over 1,000 replies.

I have double checked the settings in Settings>Forums>Topics and Replies Per Page.

Any ideas?

Hi – I am using Users Ultra Pro to manage my users. I have 4 roles users can sign up for. Is there any way to have BBpress recognize and show these for each user as the user forum role instead of “participant”?

Thanks for your help.

[sportfeed]

Hi guys,

I am pretty new to BBpress but i want to make a private forum this part is already done. But now i want my coworkers to login to the forum by a link in the footer or something. Now i add a user in the backend of wordpress and he have to login at site/wp-admin and then go to the forum link. But what i want is:

– Create user and pw in users
– Add a login link in the footer when you click on it you have to fill in the username and password en will be redirected to the forum directly. So not login in the admin first and then fill in the url.

Is this possible?
