Hi guys

I’m hoping you can help me with some super sticky issues I’m experiencing.

I’ve created a topic which I’ve set to Super Sticky, not belonging to any parent forums (I have a few forums in my setup) and I can see it in the first forum, but not the multiple other forums I’ve setup.

I’m left scratching my head with this one. I’m pretty good with web stuff, development etc, and I’m using bbPress 2.5.8.

I’d be grateful for all the help I can get with this.

Thanks

Anis

Hi Alessandra,
I confirm that bbPress has all it need for subscription to forums (in case new topics are created) and to topics (to get notified in case of replies).

Hello,

I am evaluating whether to use bbpress for a website and am unfamiliar with it. Can anyone tell me whether it’s possible to set it up so that users can subscribe to receive forum posts via e-mail and whether they can respond to the posts via e-mail?

Thank you!

Alessandra

It may not be the most elegant solution but the following worked for me….

In your theme’s functions.php place this code:

//* Remove Commas in BBPress Post Tag Display
function my_bbp_topic_tag_list( $topic_id = 0, $args = '' ) {
	echo my_bbp_get_topic_tag_list( $topic_id, $args );
}

function my_bbp_get_topic_tag_list( $topic_id = 0, $args = '' ) {
 
		// Bail if topic-tags are off
		if ( ! bbp_allow_topic_tags() )
			return;

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'before' => '<div class="bbp-topic-tags"><p>' . esc_html__( 'Tagged:', 'bbpress' ) . '&nbsp;',
			'sep'    => '',
			'after'  => '</p></div>'
		), 'get_topic_tag_list' );
 
		$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );

		// Topic is spammed, so display pre-spam terms
		if ( bbp_is_topic_spam( $topic_id ) ) {
 
			// Get pre-spam terms
			$terms = get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_spam_topic_tags', true );
 
			// If terms exist, explode them and compile the return value
			if ( !empty( $terms ) ) {
				$terms  = implode( $r['sep'], $terms );
				$retval = $r['before'] . $terms . $r['after'];
 
			// No terms so return empty string
			} else {
				$retval = '';
			}
 
		// Topic is not spam so display a clickable term list
		} else {
			$retval = get_the_term_list( $topic_id, bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(), $r['before'], $r['sep'], $r['after'] );
		}
 
		return $retval;
	}

Then copy bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\content-single-topic.php into your theme bbpress folder and replace <?php bbp_topic_tag_list(); ?> with <?php my_bbp_topic_tag_list(); ?>

Hope that helps others looking to do the same thing, and if there’s a better solution let me know lol

Hi,

I am having an issue with the style of bbPress Forum. I did the plugin process (active/desactive) but nothing. So, I switched the theme to “Twenty Fifteen” and the forum appears perfect. I suppose is a css error maybe?

How my website looks:

(It happens only with “Video” forum)

Please, could anybody advice about it?

Thanks

Hello,

I hope you won’t mind if I come back to this topic. Everything works with the login and logout links – both redirecting to a certain page. I added the profile link to the menu which shows up after a user login (taken from Layout and functionality – Examples you can use as follows:

function rk_bbp_menu_profile_link( $items, $args ) {

    if( is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'sub-header-menu')  {

		

	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

        $user = $current_user->user_nicename;

	$profilelink = '<a href="/ihabbpress/tenant-forums/users/' . $user . '/">Your Profile</a>';

        $items .=  '<li>' . $profilelink .  '</li>';

	}

    return $items;

}

This is fine except that when the user logs out, he/she stays on the same profile page
he/she had been on before logging out. This is not good – users should be redirected to a specific page. I thought that this code would automatically inherit the redirection link from the Logout code. Many thanks.

i cut the ifs but nothing happens, should have said this before, i am in no mean a programmer i did this

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_in' ); ?>

		<span class="bbp-topic-started-in"><?php printf( __( 'in: <a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ); ?></span>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_in' ); ?>

is this correct?

[Pascal Casier]

Can this help ?

Don’t have a Forums tab in menus editor

Or you are looking for something different ?

I know this is very old, but any update on making bbPress compatible with WP Super Cache?

[Robkk]

MIght not be a Jetpack thing, but if your users do sign in with their wordpress.com account through the single sign on, they do not need a password, they just keep pressing the single sign on button.

Since it is mailpoet, then that does not use an external service if I remember correctly. So no problem with your host sending emails.

You can check right now to see if I am visible in your users section in Users > All Users, just search “deleteme”. See if you can see an approve link or something similar by user in the list.

You can also try to create an account with a separate email that you have currently for your site, with only Jetpack and bbPress activated first, and see if you get your email with your login information. I found the newsletter email in my spam folder, you may need to check there for the login information email.

[Robkk]

At least i could prevent further entries in the two respective foren by using a math captcha and let only registered users to open new themes or respond to older ones

From what I am reading on your post, you had anonymous posting activated and without spam protection even, which is the reason why there are a lot of spam posts on your forums. Having anyone to post on forums even without an account to your site will allow spammers to just wreck havoc. And from visiting your site I can tell most of the posts are from users without an account posting on your forums.

I have de- an reactivated bbpress, un- and reinstalled it, but the messages are still there.

Doing that doesn’t delete your posts.

Since I see that there are a few posts from 2013 here and there, then most of the spam posts seem to come around October, you may need to suggest a nuclear option and possibly just delete all your bbPress forum post data in whole and start over. I am only suggesting this as i can see about 3 legitimate topics in a forum, then everything else was spam. To delete all of bbPress posts and data you have to follow this guide here and run the Reset Forums Tool. While trying to run this, tell me if it stalls up and gives you an error.

Deleting bbPress

If you have a backup of your database dating back before all the spam wrecked havoc, you can also restore that and be fine, but you will possibly lose some new data like new blog posts that you might of have created.

If you do not make regular backups, make sure after the forum data is cleaned up, that you start doing so.

Remember that when you are starting a forum, you will need to have some kind of spam protection in your forums from the start, especially if you are allowing people to post without an account. Also make sure to have some moderators on your site to catch any activity as it happens.

Dealing with Spam

Team bbPress,

I run a site using BuddyPress and there are forums enabled for the individual groups,of which there are several hundred. How do I enable pagination on the forum index to allow for users to scroll through and find everything? It only lists 20% of the books on the main forum page, and I see no settings to enable pagination.

Thanks
Rob

You may need to refresh any cache if you cannot see any changes appear.

The original code in loop-single-topic.php from \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress\loop-single-topic.php

Has this code. Which makes it not show up in single forum pages, so it is only visible in topics created section in your forum profile, forum search, and the topic archive on yoursite.com/topics. You may need to remove the conditional if you want to always have it visible.

<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() || ( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() !== bbp_get_forum_id() ) ) : ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_in' ); ?>

		<span class="bbp-topic-started-in"><?php printf( __( 'in: <a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ); ?></span>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_in' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

I’m trying TML. I was hoping they couldn’t enter a password when the sign up, but doesn’t seem to work that way. Instead, they have to request a password reset. But even then, I get an error saying the link for the password reset is invalid. How does this work for you?

I would have thought giving users a password for their registration would be of foremost importance seeing as they can’t do anything without it… I’m suprised bbpress doesn’t manage this without a plugin such as TML…

As far as security, I’m using WP-Spamshield which seems to be doing pretty good, no more spam registrations. Perhaps I should use wangguard in addition to this? Or maybe as a better alternative?

Thanks,
Sam

Sorry, I just realized the the plugin “Orbisius bbPress Notify Me On Follow Up Replies” is just checking the box for receiving emails when new replies are added. So, the fact is that the reply is also not triggering emails…

[danperis]

Hi,
yes, I strongly believe that the mentioned behavior (which I confirm: 3 replies were added early today and they are not counted) was caused by some updates. However, how can I find which update caused it? Everytime an update is available I install it. Is wordpress keeping a log with activities as updates?
One small detail: the freshness is updated when you re-load the page, in the sense that the code is considering the current time. But the freshness is not taking into account the last replies (like if no new reply was added).
It seems that the reply is not triggering the functions that are updating counters: anyone has an idea on how this is implemented? So we could search for the cause…
One detail more: I’m also using the “Orbisius bbPress Notify Me On Follow Up Replies” plugin and it also stopped sending emails when a new reply is added.
Thanks!

Hi,

i am really desperate, for some A… floated our music schools website forum with 34.000 entries, running on bbpress alongside with buddypress. It is not only crap and makes it almost impossible for real users to find one of the few real-human-posts, it is spooky that someone take over the forum. I was trying to delete all those posts, but this leads to a server 500 error.

I have de- an reactivated bbpress, un- and reinstalled it, but the messages are still there. Is there any way to get rid of this annoying stuff? I would love to keep forum and group functionality, but with this entries in the forum, it is almost useless. Can be found at http://www.musikzentrale.net/musikerservice/forum/musikersuche/band-sucht-musiker/

What i have done so far:
– delete user (which would be a pretty elegant solution): did not make sense in my case, since the posters are no users of musikzentrale.net.
– mass deleting themes (tried 10, 50, 100, 500 posts at a time) from the back up ended up in error message stating, that the URL was too long.
– trying to delete the respective forum leads to a 500 server error or in some cases to “URL too long” (I am running this site on a managed server with all software up to date)
– finally i tried to access the respecting tables via phpmyadmin, but apparently it has got that big, that even after several minutes the table was not loaded, so i interrupted this attempt.

At least i could prevent further entries in the two respective foren by using a math captcha and let only registered users to open new themes or respond to older ones, but obviously the DB is that huge, that it is killing the site`s formerly pretty fast loading time.

Some infos about technical environment:
– WP, bbpress and all Plugins running on there latest Version
– all other features and plugins behave as they are supposed to
– site is protected with AIOWPS and Siteguarding plugin
– WP theme is enfold without any issues so far (using the combination since April 2013)
– all running on a managed server with 512 mb of RAM for WP
– bbpress version 2.5.8, buddypress 2.4.0

Thanks for your kind assistance.

Best regards, Sebastian.

Hi,
What happened about 2 weeks ago ? Any updates of plugins or themes ?

From my experience, running the repair tools fixes this kind of issues in the database and after that from the moment a new reply or topic is created, all counters and refresh are having the correct one.
(second part of my phrase is important because of the current freshness bug in bbPress).

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
AFAIK, any import is ADDING records, so it will never erase what you already have.

If you want to try yourself, there is always the custom import possibility: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/custom-import/

Pascal.

[Robkk]

Glad you found a solution. You could have created a bbpress.php file your theme to inherit for bbPress pages, but since you do have a singular.php file, what you did works too.

[Robkk]

The file you are looking for that has this code should be part of the templates you can customize if you copy the file loop-single-topic.php from the bbPress plugin to your child theme.

[Robkk]

Common thing to see if you activated tinymce for bbPress. Some of the html tags bbPress restricts usage from regular participants could also be used for Tinymce. Customize this function to your liking if there are many more html tags not outputting.

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(
		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'href'     => true,
			'title'    => true,
			'rel'      => true,
			'class'    => true,
			'target'    => true,
		),
		// Quotes
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite'     => true,
		),
		
		// Div
		'div' => array(

                        'style'     => true,
		),
		
                // Paragraph
		'p'             => array(
			'class'     => true,
                        'style'     => true,
		),

		// Code
		'code'       => array(),
		'pre'        => array(

		'tr'         => array(

	);
}

You may not need to completely turn off the html editor tab now, as it is quite useful for users.

Hello

The freshness time (2 hours ago) IS accurate but when I go into a post and see the post and replys, all times listed are off by 8 hours not reflecting my timezone. I’m in Pacific time / San Francisco. Is there a fix for this?

I’m still getting the site built but see:
https://www.myacim.com/community/topic/why-would-i-say-nothing-means-anything/

I am:
WordPress 4.3.1
bbpress 2.5.8
I have switched to theme 2013 and the problem still exists.

Also, I’m not a programmer so if the fix requires code I’ll need you to tell me where to stick it. (I can access files through cpanel file manager)

Thank you so much in advance for your help community!

[OscarGuy]

While I’m waiting for 2.6 to release so I can import my phpBB 3.1.x (unless someone can point to an easy-to-understand explanation of how to force an import), I have a couple of questions about possibly starting the forum and later importing.

If I were to create a forum with BBPress, set it up and start running it. Could I later import everything from phpBB and have them merge successfully? Or is there a way to merge two existing versions of BBPress so that if I imported phpBB later into a separate installation I could then just combine them?

In these cases, or even in a regular import, is it possible to successfully merge to IDs (say they’ve registered with WordPress already and also the forum separately, can these two accounts be merged).

[eric.w]

I have verified that this code works. Created a github repository just for this topic. Code and instructions are included.

https://github.com/ericwallen/add-featured-images-bbpress-forums

<!– Add this code to functions.php –>

add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’, array( ‘forum’ ) );
add_post_type_support(‘forum’, ‘thumbnail’);

<!– Place this code inside page.php or anywhere else you can echo php in your theme –>

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post_id, ‘full’); ?>

<!– Repace $post_id with a number ’54’ which will be the id of the post you are tryin to fetch –>

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(’54’, ‘full’); ?>
