Hi

I embedded the Forum Index inside a WordPress page: http://tsalawchamber.org/?page_id=251 . Created a new forum (‘General’). But when I open the new forum and afterwards want to go back to the original WordPress page where the Forum Index was embedded, I can’t. When I click the “To Forums List” blue button at the top of the new Forum, it goes to a new page – which is I guess is called ‘Forum Root’ (?). This page also displays a list of existing Forums like the original WordPress page where I embedded the Forum Index, but I don’t want to go to this page by clicking “To Forums List” button – I want to go back to the original WordPress page. How can I do this? How can I change the destination of the “To Forums List” button and point it to the original WordPress page (not just for one forum, but automatically for all new forums) ?
I tried this by deleting the default Forum Root Slug “forums” from Settings and leaving the field blank, but this didn’t work. It only rendered the “To Forums List” button inactive. I also changed the default Forum Root Slug to the original wordpress page slug, but this did not work either. So, how can I do this?

Also, if this cannot be achieved through the “To Forums List” button, then how can I stop this button from appearing in new forums and insert a custom button which will point to the original WordPress page?

Please help me!

Yes there is a bug, it is fixed in the latest dev version.

Use this temporary solution to fix the issue for now.

Wrong bbp_get_reply_url() when paging with reverse order

Hi,

I use a template with BuddyPress and BBPress tp handle private Social Network.

Each BuddyPress Group has it’s own BBPress Forum.

How can I set private topics in that Forum ? Topic between Moderators and a given Member.

I don’t / can’t create a Forum for each Member ?

Ok guys i did it for myself
In style.css (appearence -> editor) add this

.bbpress #secondary {      
display: none;
}

#secondary is your widget / sidebar

then add

.bbpress #primary {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 980px;
    width: 100%;
}

#primary is the part of the page that you want to be full width

Reset forum don’t work, how to clean up the db with phpmyadmin?

Thanks for the suggestion @casiepa but I have a large and well established Buddypress based community and cannot rebuild the groups. Unless it works with Buddypress based groups? My bbPress forums are set up only inside these Buddypress groups and I imagined that the private groups would support fully private forums. The “bbp-topic-index” shortcode provided by bbPress makes the private groups forum topics visible to members of the community who are not part of these private groups.

Hi TKServer,
I see several questions here from you and they seem to indicate you want to create topics and replies yourself by creating the posts and adding the metadata yourself.
I would propose you really check bbpress functions that exist that do this for you autmatically, so you don’t need to worry about what exact metadata to add.
Pascal.

Yes that’s a great solution. The problem is that I’m doing it outside of the bbpress application. Any thoughts? For now I’ve taken the function that writes and new post and new meta and modified it to work with my custom page.

You can also keep download a copy of bbPress and search through through the files as well.

_bbp_activity_id is part of the BuddyPress integration code in bbPress specifically the activity component part of BuddyPress.

Hi TKServer,
Several lists exists. I normally start from http://hookr.io/plugins/bbpress/2.5.6/functions/#index=a
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

TKServer,
Do you have bbpress installed ? Or you created the forum yourself and now you want to expand your own development by uses some good functions from bbPress ?
Pascal.

[Robkk]

Are you saying that you want to move the bbpress-functions.php file into your theme to make it easier to customize the functions already in the plugin??

You can do that, just copy the bbpress-functions.php file into your theme/child theme.

If you want to customize some functionality in bbPress, you can use the hooks and filters provided in the plugin too.

[TKServer]

I’ve made a threaded forum list which looks really nice. I’ve added a little code to reply to posts but it isn’t writing the meta and I really don’t know what to write in the meta.

I’m thinking it would be cool to bring in the entire bbpress functions.php to my page to utilize those functions already, rather than writing my own code for things.

Is that possible to import functions.php and use it outside of bbpress?

The main functions I would be looking for are posting and replying.

I am trying to delete everything from an import I didn’t like but hostgator is timing out when I try to delete forum with 82,258 posts. Even if I delete plugin and all files, reinstall, it brings back everything. Hostgator support doesn’t know how to help me with this. Any methods I can try to clear out my bbpress and start new so I can try the import again?

Error below:

ERROR 504 – GATEWAY TIMEOUT

The server that your request has reached is acting as a gateway or proxy to fulfil the request made by your client.

Web Browser => Web Front-End => Web Back-End

This server (Web Front-End) received an invalid response from an upstream (Web Back-End) server it accessed to fulfil the request.

In most cases this will not mean that the upstream server is down, but rather that the upstream server and the gateway/proxy do not agree on the protocol for exchanging data.

This problem is most commonly caused when there is a problem with IP communications between the Web Front and Back-Ends. Before you attempt to resolve this problem you should clear your browser cache completely.

Hi,
I’m using the beta WP-REST API (beta version 2) to enable REST calls. Some endpoints do work if I add show_in_rest=>true to register_post_types() and register_taxonomies() methods in bbpress.php. With the show_in_rest flag, it allowed me to run the following endpoints:
http://localhost:8888/wp-json/wp/v2/forum
http://localhost:8888/wp-json/wp/v2/taxonomies
http://localhost:8888/wp-json/wp/v2/terms/topic-tag
http://localhost:8888/wp-json/wp/v2/topic

My bbPress website has two forums called “Politics” and “Sports”. I’d like to query all topics in a specific forum, but I’m unable to query with the following endpoints:

http://localhost:8888/wp-json/wp/v2/topic?filterforum_type=sports

How should I filter topics from a certain forum?
Thanks.

This is somewhat theme related and bbPress theme compatibility related.

What theme are you using, and I can take a look to see what I could do to fix it.

Use this custom css. Add the custom css to your child themes style.css file or anywhere else you can add custom css like in a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums .reply {
    position: relative;
    top: inherit;
    right: inherit;

BBpress only

Ciao tomtower,

bbPress only or do you use buddypress ?

Pascal.

I look at that yet :

Hi Denaize,
Any extras around bbPress are welcome. Let me know if you scripted something, or upload your plugin/theme to WordPress.org so others can benefit from it also.
