I guess it could be CSS related then. Place a link to your forums so I can see if possible margin or padding css is causing the issue for any links in a bbPress post.
I don’t think there is a free version of this plugin.
There isn’t even a free extension for users to use to make it work with bbPress from what I can see.
I would like to know how to remove the link to main Forum page that appear in the course unit when I embed the topic ( [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]) . for instance, Which file and where is it located, and what I have to change?
bbPress uses custom post types which are similar to the WordPress posts, it just outputs different templates for the display of the forum posts.
Deleting these posts, would make the shortcode not owrk.
What you would need to do is conditionally allow only users of a certain course to be able to see a certain forums or topics from bbPress’s pages not just use a shortcode to place a forum on a course page.
I have found that some user recommend some additional membership/restrict content plugins to make it work for bbPress forums this way.
It might be best to contact the wpcourseware plugins support to know what is best to hook up bbPress with that plugin.

As the user above states some hosts have a limit of emails that are able to be sent out.
Install this plugin to fix possibly part of the issue. The code used in the plugin will probably be used in a future version of bbPress.

You may need to also look into asking your server support to increase the email limit if your emails sent grow significantly or use a service like sendgrid or mandrill.
I don’t want to import from my yahoogroups
Ok
I just want the feature of having an email address that will post to the forum subscribers without having to go into the website.
This is the only post via email plugin for bbPress I think. I am not sure if it does exactly what you are wanting by sending the message to the user they are replying to as I never really tested it out.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-via-mail/
I forgot about this plugin which will essentially allow certain shortcodes like the caption shortcode.
Just add caption to the input box for the allowed shortcodes in the plugins settings page.

I see ray helped you out with this and linked to the trac ticket of the BuddyPress issue on this topic at buddypress.org.

What Learning Management System plugin are you using?
There are a couple of these plugins that have an extension to work with bbPress.
@arcillaguzman
Try some troubleshooting to see if this happens only in a certain theme or if any active plugins are conflicting with bbPress posts.
Troubleshooting
This might related to the issue in this trac ticket since you said bbcode.
The plugin author of the plugin you are probably using created the ticket.

When I insert a link in bbpress it does not show correct on my page. All links will be stacked on the left site of the message. Here is a picture of the HTML code that is generated and how it is showed.

The problem is only in bbpress, not when inserting links in WordPress in general. It is the same no matter i I insert the link using bbcode or using the WordPress toolbar.
What can be the problem here? Is there some CSS that controls this in bbpress?
I am trying to make a recount in bbpress using the Tools -> Recount. But when I do that I get the message “You do not have permission to access this page”. I am administrator and keymaster of the site. What can be the problem here?
Hi I am creating a website with BBPress. but Need a plugin which show current user IP, Current time of user below of my website.
I’ve been working for weeks (on my off time) on a threaded view of bbpress posts and replies. Here’s the beta:
Ute Fan Board
A different look more similar to an old school list forum style. Lots of work to do but here’s what it does so far:
- Different format, more list/threaded. Recent topics show with the topic replies below
- Works on a page outside of bbpress, but hooks some bbpress functions.
- Posts new messages and replies, with metadata.
- Allows user to expand/shrink content area of each post/reply
- Posts/replies show as modal popup window instead of at the bottom of the forum.
- WordPress visual editor enabled (some bugs)
- Pagination
Current bugs and pending additions:
- Edit post/reply
- Posts made from forum-threads do not show up in buddyPress “recent activities”
- Visual editor add link does not work.
- Twitter share button not setup yet
- Facebook share button not setup yet
It’s pretty hacky and I’m sure the code is not all that great, but it “seems” to work. I’ll be working on my bugs and new features soon.
You can look at the functions.php files inside of topics and replies. They’ll give you some idea.
I’ve just made live my beta page of a threaded view with new posts and new replies able to be posted outside of bbpress here: http://www.utehub.com/forum-threads/
It’s beta, so lots to work on.
I want to create a forum in a page where have restricted access (like a course unit from a course which is sold by woocommerce) and I am using bbpress shortcode for embed the forum in that course unit.
The problem is that when I make it, link to a page where all forum are appears( like http://www.mydomain/forum). How to configure to remove this link for appearing when I use bbpress shortocode for embed forum? In this way avoid other user to know this link and access without pay the course
thank you all
Hey
I”m trying to use ldap accounts with bbpress (AuthLDAP plugin)
Wordpress roles are working pretty nice but bbpress roles are lost after each connection:
for example , i give admin role for a user ,then when he logs in his rights are deleted (or replaced by blank)
I think it is because it is considered like a new user ( default role option is NOT activated)
Any idea to deactivate?
Thx
@johnjamesjacoby Thank you for your support.. I did what you suggested but But whenever I corrected some of the characters I would go about 10 topics further and it would stop again. I also tried to delete some records altogether. But no improvements then. However, As a last try I have installed the bbpress in test folder on the live server and started the import process from the live Database. So far I have imported all the users (~17,500), forums (~30), topics (~225000) and running on ~350000th reply in the last 2 days. I am not sure how it worked. But the same DB export did not work on my local instance. However, I have to bear with the time it takes on the live server.
On the side lines if this import completes Do I have to invite all the users to re-register in the forum ?
Participants cannot use shortcodes by default in bbPress.
You will have to use a filter to allow the shortcodes.
I will post a code snippet and possibly link to a guide when I am off mobile.
Also weird picture to use for your second example haha
WP= 4.3.1 Theme= Jolene bbPress= 2.5.8 bbP Toolkit= 1.0.4 bbP Manage Subscriptions= 1.2.0
bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab= 1.0.1
Hi Guys,
I’m having a bit of bother when using the visual editor in my forums. As an administrator I can get the image to align (eg) centrally but as a regualy user (Participant) the alignment wont take unless I add a caption.
In all cases when I add a caption the html for the caption tag shows in the post.
I’ve checked all the settings for all the plugin’s but cant find anything to correct this.
Two examples via links. First as Admin second as Subscriber/Participant.
posted by admin
posted by a regular user
Here is the code that is showing via the Text tab in the users post dialogue:
HOT, HOT, HOT...or what?
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="306"]<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/08/22/21/2B94BD3600000578-3207215-The_original_Spamela_Hamderson_puppet_recycled_to_create_curvy_b-a-40_1440274103479.jpg" alt="miss piggy" width="306" height="372" /> You want some of this?[/caption]
FINALLY figured it.
It was the use of emoji’s in his replies.
If someone uses an iPhone emoji, it still shows in BBPress, but for some reason the entry ISN’T placed in the activity stream.
Not quite sure if BBPress or BuddyPress is the culprit for that.
Since the page you refer to, Pascal, says:
Unfortunately, it’s difficult to ascertain from within bbPress exactly what other plugin causes this to happen, so bbp_setup_current_user comes up in the logs.
Perhaps it’s useful to know that I also see this notice, yet only on localhost and that Yoast SEO has something to do with it. The notice disappears when deactivating Yoast SEO. I do not see any notice when activating both plugins on my site.
Here is the error with some more details:
( ! ) Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init().

Hi,
posts are just custom post types (topic, reply) and have metadata attached. bbPress is following standard WordPress rules in the database.
For bbPress functions and filters, I normally end up on http://hookr.io/plugins/bbpress/2.5.6/functions/
Pascal.
Hey TK, thanks for the reply. That’s a helpful for me to get started.
Where’s a good place to look into the bbpress functions that are tied in with these wp functions?
Also, are the posts in bbpress a custom post type like any other or is there more to it than that?
Thanks again!
There are a couple of queries I’ve found are necessary for posts. First is the standard query which posts to the wp_posts and the second posts to wp_postmeta. They’re very dependent on other functions within bbpress. It’s a bit of a can of worms in my experience. You could create a set of custom queries to do both of these, or try to use all of bbpress’s queries and functionality. Either way, it is not simple.
Same issue no notifications coming through for any emails or new topics. Not sure why I need to go to someone other than the creators bbpress, so hopefully bbpress will give me the solution rather than referring me to someone else as I’ve seen has happened on numerous requests above. Just need a quick turn around on this or its time to leave review and get new plugin 🙂
