Hi
I’m trying to convert a large PHPBB forum to bbpress using the built-in importer. It fails and I’ve been investigating why and looking for a solution. I keep coming up against “it will be fixed in 2.6” but I can’t see any eta for the next version being rolled out. Any update available?
Hello there.
I want to use conditionnal tags in order to display some details. The main page (frontpage) of the forum uses a WordPress page but doesn’t keep the content nor the details (SEO details such as meta description).
I want to add some details (content and meta values). I want to make some conditionnal tags and I need to know how I can do.
I checked this forum and Google to know if I can use, with an if, is_bbpress or is_frontpage, but no answers solved my problem.
How can I force anything to be displayed where I want in the main page of the forum? Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Thibaut.
Hi @devyncjohnson,
I see nofollow adding for bbpress on the following places:
– line 344 of wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/functions.php
– line 1703 of wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php
Also check:
– line 298 of wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/formatting.php
Maybe you will find what you look for.

@Robkk , not necessarily. The “fix” is not 100% perfect because it removes “nofollow”s that I intend to keep for external domains/links. Also, if I were to write an article about nofollow, then any code examples I give will lose
rel="nofollow"
The fix I provided is a poor fix. True, it solves my problem at the cost of a much lesser evil (in my opinion). I still hope that someone can provide a real solution or explain where the nofollow is coming from. Until then, at least I have a fix which is better than no fix.
Considering that I commented out those lines in the bbPress plugin, one would think that that would fix everything.
I just wanted to shed some light regarding this issue…
1. Contact Robin. He will set you strait.

2. Discovered that our local host had set a limit on the volume of email sends. We were at 200 emails per hour. Or web host company increased it to 600 emails per hour. Email notifications started to flow. However this was a temporary solution. He recommended to look at a replay server solution such as https://sendgrid.com/. We signed up for a pro plan and we are now back at 100%. All users are receiving the email notifications.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Are you talking about running the purge previous import tool having an issue or really in the reset forums area.
It is best to run the purge previous import after importing a forum and failing.
Use this if an import failed and you want to remove that incomplete data.
IF the reset forums tool does not do it, I guess you can try some SQL code in phpMyAdmin.
You can try to see if @netwebs commment can help you

Also if you regularly backup your site, you can just revert to a previous backup before you did the import. You should make regular backups if you are not doing so already too.
First of all, a good database/site backup is always a starting point of course.
Then I suppose you followed the steps for the data cleanup here: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/installing-bbpress/deleting-bbpress/ ?
Is your WordPress still working fine since the cleanup that ‘failed’ ?

Hi Barbara,
First principle: test before going live !
I have my own procedure on cleaning bbPress in case of failure, but let me check if there is an official one. @Robkk any ideas ?
Pascal.
Hello Pascal, i didn’t test locally so is live environment. BBpress 2.5.8 and wordpress 4.3.1
We are talking about 2079 discussion with 17.000 replies
Thanks
Hi Barbara,
Is this a life system ? Did it work correctly in your test environment ?
What version of bbPress and WordPress are you using ?
How many lines are you talking about ?
Pascal.
With a combination of two methods, I was able to get the number of topics per tag. These methods query the taxonomies of bbPress’ topic-tag:
$tagList = get_the_terms($post->ID, bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id());
The output of $tagList is as follow and ‘count’ is what i’m interested in:
{
term_id: 24
name: “Presidential”
slug: “presidential”
term_group: 0
term_taxonomy_id: 24
taxonomy: “topic-tag”
description: “”
parent: 0
count: 3
object_id: 155
filter: “raw”
}
Hope this helps others.
Hi,
If it can help, check shortcodes. The 2nd one could be your starting point:
[bbp-topic-tags] – Display a tag cloud of all topic tags.
[bbp-single-tag id=$tag_id] – Display a list of all topics associated with a specific tag. eg. [bbp-single-tag id=64]
See https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/

Hi Pascal buongiorno to you 😉
Actually the customer (association) wants this template and the first choice is to keep this one. I see what you say, it looks like both the heading and the div are doubled with their padding etc… so here we have the cut on the right…
I installed BBPRESS with the plugin and set up with his setting page (but there is no structure customization – the set up is just about label names).
I have several plugin intalled but nothing concerning BBPRESS (I saw many add ons but did not use any of them)… I am quite sure it is all about the template 🙁 but maybe somebody here experienced the same issue and have a solution.
Thank you so much
Buongiorno Rendall,
I quickly had a check in the sourcecode of the page and it seems the RT Theme is doubling the information. I also saw that your forum is cut on the right side of the screen.
Any possibility to switch to a more standard theme to make sure the theme is not to blame ?
How did you setup the forum ? Using a shortcut ? Any extra plugins concerning bbPress installed ?
A presto,
Pascal.
No, I don’t use WordFence security. I never used any plugins that had anything to do with caching. Do you think I should use some plugin for the caching problem related to logins in bbpress? If so, which one? Would this be better than relying on the webhost? They may say that this is my problem.
Closing in favor of your other topic. Please do not create duplicate topics.
Remove NoFollow from BBPress Posts
Ideally I’d like to see it appear right on the dashboard so when users log in they can see everything. If bbPress can’t do it if anyone knows of a way to do this I’d be happy to hear. thanks!
THis sounds like some custom development. You made need to hire a developer to try to create this for you. I am not sure if it is possible without basically tearing up the whole plugin, and it will be extremely hard to do.
bbPress should work in a private community though. I think there is some plugins that can just disallow access to view any pages unless you are member out there in the WordPress repository though that might be helpful. Doing it this way would be much easier to do too.
I installed BBPRESS Version 2.5.8 pugin (on WP version 4.3.1) and my issue is that headings are doubled, you can see here what happens: http://www.assofootball.it/forums/
The template is “RT Theme 18” and for what I red it is compatible with BBPRESS. I wonder how to solve this issue, do you have any idea?
Thank you very much

Count topics with specific tag
I think bbPress just uses the code from WordPress since the topic tag clouds code is close to WordPress’s version for regular posts.
You can see the tag cloud on hover displays the number of topics.

I tried searching what it was, but couldn’t really pinpoint the exact function.
Hi, I’ve been researching some tools for creating an intranet within WordPress and one page directed me to bbPress… but the features list doesn’t explain too much so I’d like to ask if anyone knows whether bbPress can be integrated within the backend of my WordPress site. Ideally I’d like to see it appear right on the dashboard so when users log in they can see everything. If bbPress can’t do it if anyone knows of a way to do this I’d be happy to hear. thanks!
Thanks casiepa!
I hoped for a solution without coding, but it seems I need to start digging into the fundaments of WP and bbpress.
I will go for the @robin-w solution first, as from the other one I didn’t even get where to put the code and what kleo should be.
So thanks again, I will get back here as soon as I have something to report.
Best wishes,
Sascha
Robkk, that plugin has not been update for a long while.
Its just about a year old. It is an extremely small plugin that uses the bbPress hooks and filters and most of the code is for the options in the plugin. You can contact the plugin developer in the support forum if you have concerns about it.
You can also go with what @tecca said and just do simple template edits. Just make sure you have copied the templates into your child theme.
And you could just not use ads on the forums, there are other places you can put them.
Does the plugin not work as intended @utahman1971, or you haven’t tried it because it hasn’t been updated for a while? From what I see, it probably hasn’t been updated because bbPress hasn’t changed enough to warrant the plugin being updated (ie, it stills works with the current version).
If that’s not the case and it simply doesn’t work or has some sort of vulnerability, you could always ask which templates to paste your ad codes in. I prefer doing that over adding yet another plugin that might break during upgrades. With ad codes being touched so little, template edits seem appropriate enough for the job.
