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).

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/

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(
			'class'     => true,

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

		// Code
		'code'       => array(),
		'pre'        => array(
			'class'  => true,
		),
		// Formatting
		'em'         => array(),
		'strong'     => array(),
		'del'        => array(

		// Lists
		'ul'         => array(),
		'ol'         => array(
			'start'    => true,
		),
		'li'         => array(),
		// Images
		'img'        => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'src'      => true,
			'border'   => true,
			'alt'      => true,
			'height'   => true,

		// Tables

		),
		'td'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tfoot'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,

		'th'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'thead'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tr'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		)
	);
}

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!

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’); ?>

Does anyone can help me how to set paganation ( 1-2-3-4- 15 preplay per page ). I have over 300 replays and too easily takes to load the page.
Idea : Viewing 40 posts – 1 through 15 (of 300 total.

Who knows what a plugin which allows an appreciation for quality post (of users).

We get forum from web wiz to bbPress and need to do all again.

Thx.

Hi all,

I’m running a small forum since little more than 11 months.
Never had (significant) problems till about 2 weeks ago, when suddenly activities and replies stopped being recorded.
Replies are visible in the topic page, but in the forum root counts of voices, replies and also the freshness are not updated any more.
By using the manual recount tools in the repair forums, numbers are updated. However, it seems it’s not going to update it automatically any more.
Using WP 4.3.1 and bbPress 2.5.8, Travelify theme
Forum: http://www.sarproz.com/groups/sarproz-group/forum/

Any clues for solving the case?
Many thanks in advance!

[Matt]

Ah I tell a lie, we also have BBPress Notify (No Spam) installed

[32diego]

For anyone interested this is the fix

This is actually a bbPress issue with the singular.php template which was introduced in WordPress 4.3 but bbPress doesn’t support it yet. It looks like it has been fixed in core already – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5950 – but the update hasn’t been released yet.

If you add the following code to the top of your index.php for your theme it will provide a temp fix:

// bbPress fix while they update things…
if ( function_exists( ‘is_bbpress’ ) && is_bbpress() ) {
get_template_part( ‘singular’ );
return;
}

[Matt]

No BBPress piggyback plugins I’m afraid, just the normal BuddyPress + BBPress combo. The private forums functionality is included in out-of-the-box BBPress.

We have other plugins on the site such as Advanced Access Manager and WordFence, but can’t see why they would affect what discussions are listed; I may be wrong, but it seems most likely to be an oversight of BBPress’ programming.

[deanhills]

Thanks for the prompt reply robkk.

Please find enclosed a link for the test Website:
http://totius.tk/

When I activate Mona Lisa, the BBPress Forum disappears. You only see the link in the navigation bar, but it isn’t linked any more. When you click on it it is dead. Then when I deactivate the Mona Lisa plugin, the Forum is back again.

I first started with a stand alone BBPress Forum, i.e. one directly loaded from the BBPress Website, as I wanted to experiment to see how good it is. There are the three plugins that come loaded with the site. But when I try to load any of the other plugins they won’t install. I.e. I would upload them to the plugins folder through cPanel, they do show, but when I click on them, there is an error message that comes up.

Then next I tried BBPress with WordPress – i.e. I started from scratch with a WordPress site and loaded it as a plugin as per the totius.tk example. I was able to download and install the Monalisa plugin, but when I activate it, the BBPress forum disappears. The blog part however is active. Only the forum is disabled.

So yes, there has to be a conflict between BBPress and the Mona Lisa plugin.

By the way, this is what my WordPress (up to date version) dashboard Settings/Writing looks like. You mention

while having TinyMCE activated, and the default toolbar editor tab is the HTML one

Where do I activate TinyMCE and find the default toolbar editor in WordPress? Or are you talking about BBPress Dashboard?

It does work with bbPress and how its default quicktags editor though.

As previously mentioned it didn’t work with a freshly installed bbPress Website. I had nothing else installed except the bbPress Forum. The enclosed totius.tk however is now a plugin.

Is there anything I could have done when it was a bbpress stand alone for the plugin to have been able to be installed?

[Indrekkor]

I Have a site with about 2 million posts (topic+replies total), have seen errors like theese before.

Your problem is not with bbpress, but with wordpress in general.

Turn on your mysql-slow log and see what query is causing the problem.

Probably you’ll see SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS listed there.

[danceee3]

hello there!

trying to setup a bbpress forum!

i managed to create an homepage with the latest topics.

I want to add the <span class=”bbp-topic-started-in”> (found this using chrome inspect) near the “started by” like it’s made here in the support forum!

i think it’s rpetty crucial to show what forum the topic belong to, i have to idea where to start, any advice or pointer would be great

thanks a lot!

[32diego]

After my last theme update (Total theme) the forum is broken.

It is now appearing as a post (screenshot attached). If i switch back to the default theme it shows up fine. No caching being used anywhere. Run through troubleshooting with theme support who have said they changed nothing that would break this. Their theme supports bbpress intergration.

Any one any suggestions?

anyone else had this issue or has any suggestions?

[NeoID]

I’m still looking into this, but haven’t had the time to start coding on it. The main reason for that may be that I’m still not sure whether BuddyPress/bbpress is a good choice or not. I really don’t like WordPress for some reasons, but in some ways it’s a nice starting point when it comes to building a more social community…

Anyway, would love to participate on this as I might end up using this in the near future. I’ll also look into supporting Pollfield as I’m using polls quite often on the forum.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,

Ah, the ‘breadcrumbs’.

You can switch them completely off or just remove the ‘forums’ part by checking the example here: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#4-turning-off-or-changing-breadcrumbs
Just copy this part into a child theme, in your functions.php or in a plugin.

If you don’t know how to do it yourself, you can always check for plugins like bbP Toolkit or others that can help you with that.

Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

1. and 2.
You might want to create a standard WordPress page called ‘forums’ and give it the http://raquiia.com/gaming/forums/ URL. In that way you override the default page.
Then use shortcode for your chat, the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode and the shortcode for your statistics. (see shortcodes: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/ )

For 3. at lot can be done, but I have the impression you want to heavily customize, so if you want to do your own coding you could create a child theme and put copies there of the main bbPress files and start modifying them.

Then of course hundreds of plugins already exist. If you want to do something specific, just open another support request here and we will try to guide you.

Enjoy bbPress !
Pascal.

Hi,

i just installed bbpress to my wordpress website. www raquiia com/gaming.

I was using inboard since long time but yet, i think it’s more convenience to use bbpress with my wordpress website and different plugins.

So i would like to configure it.

The basic installation looks correct, its work without bug (or i didn’t find yet), but i would like to customize it.

First i would like to add a chat on the forum page : www raquiia com/gaming/forums/
So, between the header with the image and title and the Forum i would like this: wordpress plugin : simple-ajax-chat
or an other chat i don’t really care.

i’ll keep the sidebar on right.

Bottom of the forum i would like a better statistic. So i found this : wordpress plugin : bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online

For both it’s look simple to install, just have to write the shortcode on the forum page. But unfortunnally i can’t find where is this page …

After fix that, i’ll try to make the forum more clear and nice to read.
It’s hard to find nice and clear bbpress (i mean in my opinion), i found one example : http://themes.momizat.com/?theme=multinews (go to community -> Forum)

A forum like this after add the chat and the statistic can be alright. Even better if i also can add image for each sub category.

To explain, on this example they have General main category
Then they have sub category :- getting started
– off topic
– Funstuff
Can i add an image before each sub category ?

i think, i have to modify my template to get what i want. i just don’t know where and how …

To summary i want :

1 : Add a chat (doesn’t matter which one) on top of the forum
2 : Add better statistic bot of my forum
3 : Change the design of the forum part (category …)

If somebody can answer me it will be very helpful to open this website asap.

Thanks you by advance

Louis

Hi,
Just create a normal WordPress page and add the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
See: https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/

[Momshof]

I decided to go ahead & purchase GD bbPress Toolbox to control this. Thanks for your input.

[Momshof]

Hello – As a normal user (not admin) the posts are showing the html (I think that is what it is called). For example – it looks like this when posted:

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>
<p style=”text-align: right;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>
<p style=”text-align: right;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>
<span style=”font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;”>Creating a test topic 1.</span>

<span style=”font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;”>Creating a test topic 1.</span>

<span style=”font-size: 18pt;”>Creating a test topic 1.</span>

<span style=”font-size: 18pt;”>Creating a test topic 1.</span>

<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Creating a test topic 1.</span>

<span style=”background-color: #000000; color: #00ff00;”>Creating a test topic 1.</span>

I am using GD bbPress Toolbox to have more options on my visual editor.

Also – is there any way to completely REMOVE the “text” tab option (only have visual editor available)?

Thanks for your assistance.

I have these plugins; s2member, buddypress and bbpress with yoast seo plugin.

So , is it okay for s2member using along with bbpress?

Or what is the exact fix for s2member between bbpress?
