HI

Wordpress has issued a warning on the plugins page at wordpress.org saying that this plugin hasen’t been tested with the current version of wordpress

So Just out of curiosity is bbPress 2.6.9 campatible with the latest version of wordpress 6.2 ??
And has it also been tested with the newest version of PHP 7.4/8.0/8.1/8.2 ??

The information tab on the plugins page in wordpress.org says:
Version: 2.6.9
Author The bbPress Contributors
Last update: 1 year ago
Demands WordPress version: 5.0 or newer
compatible up to: 5.9.5
Demands PHP version: 5.6.20 or newer

Please check and inform me and the rest of the plugins users about the status.
Oh yeah and remember to update the plugins inforation tab at wordpress.org

Hi

I would like to remove date from my forum column “Last Post” : https://www.lebonconstructeur.fr/forums/
I have some very specific topics and people dont click if they find that last post is too old
I would like to keep only user name in the column

[Robin W]

it would, but I am just a man in his kitchen, I’m not a bbpress author.

Style pack is much more than just styling (it may have been mostly that when you tried it), and you don’t need to use the styling bits to take advantage of the functionality.

Anyway it’s free and what I write, so that’s where the blocks will be.

If you just want to use blocks in the custom post types, then just add this filter

add_filter ('bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'rew_gutenberg_editor') ;
add_filter ('bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'rew_gutenberg_editor') ;
add_filter ('bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'rew_gutenberg_editor') ;

function rew_gutenberg_editor ($settings) {
	$settings['show_in_rest'] = true ;
	return $settings ;
}

If you want to impose blocks on your users in topics and replies, then use the ‘blocks everywhere’ plugin.

If you want block widgets, that is what will be in style pack when I have finished writing it.

If you want bbpress in FSE themes, that will also be in style pack in due course

[RakieM]

Is there any chance that BBPress will be updated to support Gutenberg blocks. The classic editor is really outdated and the designing of pages with blocks is the more logical step moving forward.

Thanks

instructions for them

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

go to line 248 and change

? esc_html_e( 'You cannot create new topics.', 'bbpress' )

to

? esc_html_e( '', 'bbpress' )

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Just tried to check with Health Check & Troubleshooting.
After activation of Troubleshooting and bbPress, I checked again all themes and found that pages still not available, despite of Settings with 15 posts per page.
Any other option?

[Philippe Roussel]

Solved. I simply had to re-create the forum in which all my posts go with Post Comments as bbPress Topics. Thank you.

[wpturk]

You can create a new page and put [bbp-forum-index] in it. This way, it will be your forum root page and you can edit this page.

Here is the related documentation: 3. Creating a forum page -> Method 2

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back

[Philippe Roussel]

The author’s topic area has turned pink since I removed a few forums, and below the “Reply to” there is a message saying “This topic is in the trash” (which is not).

Here is an example: https://onehomeplanet.com/democracys-prospects-looking-backwards/ (it is a post; I use the plugin Post Comments as bbPress Topics)

Thanks for your help.

[Robin W]

can you say how this relates to bbpress?

[Rough Pixels]

I’m curious…it seems as though bbPress is being left far behind without any serious redevelopment. Are there plans for bbPress to get a complete overhaul to bring it up to date?

I’m debating whether to dump it off my site because it seems outdated and no info about giving it a fresh update–it’s been 2 years since the last update.

[enkoes]

Recently I found that all freshness display all showing “sometime ago”.

I came across a topic related to same issue Notifications – Date Received = “Sometime Ago”. It seems that the problem is related to time zone that makes this freshness display totally unworkable. If I don’t want to change to the actual display of date/time, any solution for this?

Regards.

[wpturk]

You can change the $before and $after variables to whatever you like. For example an external link before all topics:

function add_custom_content($content) {

    $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
    $user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );

    if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($user_id) ) {

            $before ='<p>This is my <a href="https://bbpress.org/">EXTERNAL LINK</a>.</p>';
            $after ='<p>TEXT AFTER</p>';
            $content = $before . $content . $after;
    }
    return $content;
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_content', 'add_custom_content');

For the excerpt issue you can give a try with another priority:

function filter_the_excerpt( ) {
    return ' ';
}
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'filter_the_excerpt', 999, 2 );

[webcreations907]

I had posted a solution awhile back for this, you can find it here on the support forums at link below. It would set it so you can have unlimited number of forums.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hitting-50-forum-limit-what-can-i-do/#post-234658

[salvador123]

It seems that there are no restrictions, in bbpress, on the number of topics or replies, but there are restrictions on the number of forums (I read 50).

However, using the structure “wordpress.org/support/plugin/” I see that there are thousands of forums. How can I replicate this structure?

For example, let’s imagine I have 200 courses and I want to put a forum for each one. Then, the structure would be “wordpress.org/support/curse/”. But, in practice, how to do it?

It seems to me that in the plugin support cases, wordpress.org is not using multisites or custom post type, because all the topics of all the plugins have this structure: wordpress.org/support/topic/. There are about 1 million topics.

My question is: to avoid the limit of 50 forums, how can I reproduce the structure “wordpress.org/support/curse/” and have a forum for each course?

[Robin W]

not sure how this relates to bbpress ?

[saman3230]

Hi

I want to migrate from XenForo 1.5.10 to bbpress

Please tell me where to download this tool and how to do it?

[Philippe Roussel]

Hi,

I use the Post Comments as bbPress Topics plugin, which gives by default an excerpt of the concerned post. None of the other options seem to work but none of them suit me either. Expanding on the php code you gave earlier in this thread, would it be possible to simply delete all content in the topic other than “[See the full post at: …]” and, of course, my own [TEXT]?

Thank you

[tinnakvist]

Hi, I’m a webmaster at a website that has bbPress.
And they often paste text in from another website that results in leaving a lot of formatted text. Is there a way to prevent that? It would be nice with a feature that could remove the formatted text.

Best regards,
Tinna

[Mrskt]

One possible solution is to use a plugin called BBP Improvements for Yoast which is a helpful tool to make Yoast wordpress seo support bbpress better. You can install and activate this plugin from your WordPress dashboard and see if that helps.

Another possible solution is to use the excerpt variable in the Admin > SEO > Search Appearance > Content Types (tab) section. There you will have a ‘Topics (topic)’ section where you can add a default meta description using the excerpt variable. This will automatically output the first part of every topic as the meta description.

[emmanuelle64]

I activated health check plugin and selected twentytwenty as theme
I activated bbpress
Then I went to Dashboard>subjets>all subjects and selected ‘les abonnements’ in the first subject.
Then I selected the first user to ‘subscribe selected users’ and apply : it worked ok, the subscription button turned on.

Then I went to Dashboard>users>all users and selected ‘les abonnements’ in the first user.
Then I selected the first forum to ‘subscribe selected forums’ and apply : it didn’t work.

Any other clue ?
And thank you for your time!

[Robin W]

ok, I cannot replicate that issue.

This one works for bbpress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/contextual-related-posts/ if you want only related topics just go into Contextual Related Posts Settings and on the List tuning tab and on Post types to include select topic only. One thing it doesn’t have an automatic option to add the related items, so you need to added them either manually or the best way is with a fucntion.
I use this one to add it after each topic:

//add adsense after topic
add_action( 'bbp_template_after_replies_loop', 'rew_other_topics' );
function rew_other_topics () {
	 $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id() ;
	 $forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id) ;
	if ( function_exists( 'echo_crp' ) ) { echo_crp(); }
}

Hi, I would like to display nickname (and not username) in the whole bbpress forum.

For topics list, I modified the code from a previous topic Show username instead of full name / display name and it works well so far.

See https://paste.pics/MVA62

The modified codes that I use is as follows:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_display_name' , 'rew_reply_change_to_nickname', 10 , 2 ) ;

function rew_reply_change_to_nickname ($author_name, $reply_id) {
	// Get the author ID
	$author_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
	$nickname = um_get_display_name( $author_id );
return $nickname ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_display_name' , 'rew_topic_change_to_nickname', 10 , 2 ) ;

function rew_topic_change_to_nickname ($author_name, $topic_id) {
	// Get the author ID
	$author_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );
	$nickname = um_get_display_name( $author_id );
return $nickname ;
}

Note: I use Ultimate Member (UM) plugin to display user details.

However, when comes to user profile, I’m struggling on how to force display nickname right above the avatar. Hope you can help me with that.

See https://paste.pics/MVA6A

Note: It’s very tedious to modify “display name publicly as” from the WordPress dashboard for every registered user. Thus hopefully codes may well do the job for me.
