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.

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?

[Andreas Andersen]

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.

[webguru13]

I am using the TruePixel premium theme…I made a page for the forum and bbpress is installed…I put in some test forums and even a couple of topics…nothing shows up on my forum page…just wondering what is going wrong…I have the forum on my main header menu as a child page of the community section as I have buddypress set up as well and have all things listed under the parent of “community”…I am just frustrated why I do not see anything on my forum page…I don’t see my content anywhere unless I go and look in the dashboard under “all forums”…help!! Please don’t tell me my theme doesn’t support the forum…thanks!! Rhonda

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:

1. Different format, more list/threaded. Recent topics show with the topic replies below
2. Works on a page outside of bbpress, but hooks some bbpress functions.
3. Posts new messages and replies, with metadata.
4. Allows user to expand/shrink content area of each post/reply
5. Posts/replies show as modal popup window instead of at the bottom of the forum.
6. WordPress visual editor enabled (some bugs)
7. 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.

[TKServer]

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.

[fjalom]

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

[vinaynellagi]

@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 ?

[Robkk]

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

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]

[rossagrant]

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.

[Axel13]

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.

[tmg]

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!

[TKServer]

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.

[balmfoc48]

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 🙂

Wordpress: 4.3.1
Divi Theme: 2.5.5
BBPress: 2.5.8
bbp style pack: 2.8.3
http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/forum/

Hi – I am new to BBPress. I am hoping some one may be able to assist with the page formatting of the forums/category/topic pages et etc. I am trying to get it as close to this:

http://dtcdc.freeforums.net/

as I can.

With bbpress style pack I was able to do alot without having to mess with any code of files -I do not have alot of coding experience or working within the server on files.

Right now – I have the following short codes in a Divi Page – this is my Forum Index Page:

[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1106’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1130’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘1154’ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]

1. This is giving me the “boxed” look for each separate forum I want – I can not figure out how to get the header title of each forum changed. Where it says “Forums, topics,posts, freshness” instead of Forum – I would like it to state the name of the forum I have created (like the first one be “Community Forum”, then the 2nd one would be “Platinum Members Forum” & the 3rd “Diamond Members Forum”).

These would not be links to anything. Just the forum title. So that when an actual forum below in the “box” is clicked on it goes straight to that forum page showing all topics under that forum.
(I hope I am using the correct terminology here.)

2. I can not get the description to show up underneath each category on the forum index page. Is the only way to achieve this to do something to the files in wp?

3. The topic pages (submit & view) have a big line running down the right side of the pages down into the footer – is there anyway to remove that line and make the pages full width or a custom width?

Divi Theme does provide an Epanel where I can put css coding in without having to change any files. If anyone has any ideas how to achieve these changes (hopefully without altering files) I would appreciate the help & guidance.

Thanks!

[Robkk]

@omj-1

This is the CSS causing the issue.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content {
    clear: both;
    margin: 10px;
    padding: 0;
}

The reason why when reply threading is enabled fixes the issue is because the list .bbp-body self closes and makes the above CSS not work.

Here is the ticket about the reply threading markup bug.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2757

You can use this custom CSS to fix the issue.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content {
    clear: none;
}

I’m looking to hire someone with experience in migrating data into bbPress (BuddyPress as well). I got most of the data working from the standard forum importer that comes with bbPress, but that porter doesn’t support everything that I had in my SMF forum. Technically, the bbPress software, being lean, simply doesn’t have these features. Here is what I want to import manually:

1.) Private messages (into BuddyPress’s messages)
2.) Signatures (into GD bbPress Tools)
3.) Thread view counts (via this custom method)
4.) Avatars
5.) Stickied topics
6.) Deleted usernames (Posts from users on SMF who deleted their own accounts all get bucketed into a single account)

If anyone can help with any or all of these, let me know. I can simply migrate without these manual bits if necessary, but I at least want to try to save the data.
