Have they fixed it so you can import from phpBB version 3.1.x yet? I’ve been waiting awhile to convert to get this updated, but I don’t have any way to know if it supports it yet or not (at least that I could find).

I can’t find the setting to ensure I get notified whenever a new post is added.

There isn’t a setting by default in bbPress. THere are a ton of plugins for this though.

This plugin that I found might work for you.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-notify-admins/

I cannot find their emails or names at all in my user tab of my wordpress admin

It should be there if you are using the bbPress plugin.

Is the data blank but the users are there, can you not see the columns or something??

We are currently using BBPress on our site for a forum. We noticed that it was possible to enter in a script block with an alert box in the middle. On submission, the alert box would be displayed. This could obviously be used in a more malicious way so I had some concerns around this.

My question is therefore, is there any way that script tags can be filtered out of BBPress posts?. Or even better, do not allow any HTML/SCRIPT to be entered.

Hi, let me try to cut these questions in different parts.
I only get email notifications on some new topics and replies.
Some basic things: You need to subscribe to the forum to get new topics. You need to subscribe to the topic to get the replies. You will not get notifications for your own topics that you post.
Said that, it seems that on some forums there are issues in getting out the emails. You could try by installing a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/ and I would also suggest to use an SMTP tool (like postman smtp or other) that has good logs so you can find out what is happening.
I can’t find the setting to ensure I get notified whenever a new post is added.
As you are on the bbPress forum, I suppose you talk about ‘topic’ and not ‘post’ ? If you talk about new topics, you need to be sure to be subscribed to the forum. You could use a plugin e.g bbP Manage Subscriptions to have the overview of who is subscribed to what forum.
I cannot find their emails or names at all in my user tab of my wordpress admin….
If you just use bbPress on WordPress, you have to find them there. If not, you will have to ask in a pure wordpress forum. If you would also use BuddyPress, then it’s better to ask in their forum.

Hope it gives you some directions.
Pascal.

I must admit I’m not an expert in RTL…

I would propose you start from here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/persian-%D9%BE%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B3%DB%8C-fa_ir/

Hi,

This is unfortunately a known bug : https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2876
We hope that in the upcoming version 2.6 it is included.

Hello,

I recently added a bbpress forum to my wordpress site and I encounter a weird bug with the freshness column. If I delete a post in a topic the freshness column on the forum page display the date and author of the topic, not the last reply.

Here are some screens :

In the topic section (Which display the right information) : http://imgur.com/fHeSVrD
in the forum section (Which display the wrong information) : http://imgur.com/Xlg7UQX

I tried to do a repair through the forums tools in wp-admin but the bug is still here.

If someone have an idea.

Thank you,

Jaeha

Here is the hack we are using to make our custom filter work:

<?php

function likebtn_notifications_get_notifications_for_user($action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string')
{
    global $wp_filter;

	$return = '';

    if (count($m) == 3) {
		// Do something here

        // We modify global wp_filter to call our bbPress wrapper function
        if (isset($wp_filter['bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user'][10]['bbp_format_buddypress_notifications'])) {
            $wp_filter['bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user'][10]['bbp_format_buddypress_notifications']['function'] = 'likebtn_bbp_format_buddypress_notifications';
        }

    	return $return;
    }

    return $action;
}
// bbPres has a bug: 
// https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/return-value-in-bbp_format_buddypress_notifications/
// https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6669
// Filter must be called before corresponding bbPress filter
add_filter('bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'likebtn_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 5, 5);

// Wrapper for bbp_format_buddypress_notifications function as it is not returning $action
function likebtn_bbp_format_buddypress_notifications($action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string')
{
    $result = bbp_format_buddypress_notifications($action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format);
    if (!$result) {
        $result = $action;
    }
    return $result;
}

I have found that this is a plugin issue. Not a BBPress issue. So now I have to see if I can fix that LOL

[BewitchingFiction]

I look after a site that is purely used as a forum and news posts and have two small groups that have an exclusive membership, the groups are hidden and until recently they appeared on the groups list. They are now invisible to the members of said groups though the list shows that there are some, you just can’t see them.

I am using the following:

Theme: Quest (1.3.0)
Plugins: Anti-Spam by CleanTalk (5.31), Buddypress (2.4.0), BBpress (2.5.8), FEEDZY RSS Feeds by b*web (2.6.1), Jetpack by WordPress.com (3.8.0), MailChimp Forms by MailMunch (2.1.3), Meta Slider (3.3.5), Sitewide newsletters (0.4)

I have tested this with Twenty Fifteen (I do not have the others installed). It works with Twenty Fifteen (but looks pretty awful).

I know that I can give people links to the forums, but it looks incredibly odd and is rather difficult for those who aren’t so savvy (or are looking for something quickly).

Does anyone have any idea why this isn’t working?

Hello community,

My requirement is that I need just a single forum. So ive created a forum and now I have to create topics and assign it to that forum. The name of the forum comes in the slug.

Is there anyway I dont have to create this forum. How about siteurl/bbpressslug/ simply lists all the topics and these topics dont have any assigned forum. What is the shortest way to accomplish this.

Also in that case, how do I use shortcodes like the following
[bbp-topic-form forum_id='$forum_id']

Thanks

[TallSam]

I don’t like the sounds of that… I think I would rather try the plugin you mentioned.

But first, is there going to be an update to bbpress that will remove the extra revision statements? If so, any thoughts on when this will be ready?

Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
A trac ticket was already registered for that. The full fix should be included in the upcoming 2.6. If not the wordaround is also mentioned in the ticket.

Hi,

bbp_format_buddypress_notifications() function in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php must always return something at least empty string.

We need to use “bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user” filter to make our own custom notification for BuddyPress but bbp_format_buddypress_notifications() function returning nothing makes it impossible.

Hi. I am hoping someone can assist me with this request.

I have installed BBPress and have created forums for my site.

http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/forums/

My background is dark on every page of the site, but I want to make the forums (once you drill down into a specific forum page & topics index page & replies page) white.

The problem I am having is that these pages are not actual pages – I have no idea where they are. I thought I would find them in my pages but the only thing there is the Forum page I created and inserted the BBPress forum shortcode.

I tried using the following code in the Divi Theme options & it worked; however, it changed all my backgrounds in all my other pages that I do not want touched :

For these types of pages :
1.http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/foru … community/
2.http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/foru … ic-2-test/

/*BBPress each indiv forum background – drill down 1*/
#main-content .container {
background: #ffffff !important
}

/*BBPress each topic/reply background – drill down 2*/
#main-content {
background: #ffffff !important
}

Thanks so much for any assistance you can provide.

Hi – Does anyone have knowledge of a plugin for BBPress or what I can do to add:

A. image upload option to tool bar
B. video upload option to tool bar
C. more options (font size, family, remove formatting, et etc) to the tool bar

for my users?

I have an enhanced editor plugin installed on my site – those options are not showing up in BBPress for creating a topic or replies. It may have too many options for my users though. More than I want.

Thanks for your insight.

Hi – Hoping someone knows where I can change the titles “Posts” & Freshness” to “Replies” & “Last Post” on all pages & widgets? (The ones that always come after “Voices” &”Topics”.)

Wordpress: 4.3.1
Divi Theme: 2.5.5
BBPress: 2.5.8
bbp style pack: 2.8.3

Thanks for your help.

Hi – I am hoping someone can assist with configuring the “Create New Topic” text box to not automatically show up on ANY page. Is there a way to make it where it only appears if the user clicks on “Create New Topic”?

The same with the “Reply” button. Not have the reply text box automatically show up on any page until a user clicks on “Reply”?

Thanks for your help.

Wordpress: 4.3.1
Divi Theme: 2.5.5
BBPress: 2.5.8
bbp style pack: 2.8.3

Tried to edit, but could not:

Hi Robin W,

Is there a way to include make these fields available to the get_available_tags function in bbpress-notify-nospam/bbpress-notify-nospam.php. Basically I’m trying to display these fields in the email notification area. Listed is the code for the get_available_tags function… Any input would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

public function get_available_tags( $tags='' )
	{
		$tags 		= '[blogname], [topic-title], [topic-content], [topic-excerpt], [topic-url], [topic-replyurl], [topic-author]';
		$extra_tags = apply_filters( 'bbpnns_extra_topic_tags',  null );
		
		if ( $extra_tags )
			$tags .= ', '. $extra_tags;
		
		return $tags;		
	}

After debugging everything, set WP_Debug to false.

Here is a post explaining the bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly error.

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly

[Mark Burgess]

I have found two plugins that purport to change authors, but neither one works. Admin Columns Pro provides inline editing for Topics and Replies, but you walk through the steps to find the correct author and set it, but it doesn’t save. Orbisius bbPress Enhancer adds the author field to the Bulk Edit and to the post edit for both Topics and Replies, but – again – a change is not saved. I had gconverter.com import into bbpress a Drupal forum where a user had to be registered to post and gconverter.com left 1500 entries as “Anonymous”. I can’t do a simple replace using SQL because not all of the Anonymous postings go to the same user. I’m on 4.3.1 WordPress and bbpress 2.5.8 Does anyone have any ideas?

[Momshof]

Thanks so much! I appreciate your assistance.

I added the code to my Divi Theme customizer & it took care of the lines – 🙂

I wish I knew today how to use the page builder with BBPress. If it is not Divi – I have not learned how. Another item to research & learn.

Is there a file or code I could add that would “hide” the reply text box & create a new topic text box all together from the forum pages until a user actually clicks on “reply” or “Create a Topic”?

Do I need to create a new topic for this as it is still dealing with the “look”? If so – please let me know.
