Probably not a bug.

Where you see read and unread notifications is from BuddyPress and I don’t think it really hooks up with bbPress subscriptions if I remember correctly.

Are you subscribed to the topic that you replied in??
Are you using a plugin that will send you notifications for each new topic/reply in bbPress that you may not be exactly subscribed to a topic or forum? (bbpress notify and bbPress moderation comes to mind)

Edit: nevermind

[mica123]

I am sure this question has been asked many times before. I just don’t seem to get a straightforward answer. I need to set up a bbpress user profile (not the WordPress user profile). I don’t have widgets. Where is the bbpress user profile located and how do I get a link to it? It would be nice to have this in the menu together with the login/logout/register and lost password links as well.
Thank you.

Hello,
I’m new to bbPress and am looking for a solution to this customization.

Imagine a topic with several answers. If you want to respond directly to a message that is in the middle of the page as soon as you click on the button to answer, the page will scroll to the end, to the response field.

Is there any plugin or modifications that may be made to make the response field appear just below the message we want to answer?

Many thanks to anyone who can help me.

Hi bbpress team, thanks for creating such good forum product. It’s a great plugin that I can create my own forum easily. There’re two questions. First one is the lost password page doesn’t work when I activated the Woocommerce theme but if I de-active the Woocommerce the lost password page works! I do need Woocommerce to show my gallery. My url is: http://artstellars.co.nz/lost-password/

Another question is the Chinese username registration by bbpress. it says “ERROR: This username is invalid because it uses illegal characters. Please enter a valid username.” if I register using a Chinese as a username. Is there any pacth can work around this?

I am using the latest version of bbpress v.2.5.8, Woocommerce v.2.4.7 and WordPress v.4.3.1. Thanks.

BuddyPress support sent me over here with this question: I’m using WP, TwentyFourteen theme, BuddyPress and bbpress all up to date.

I get notification alerts whenever I reply to a topic reply I’ve started in a forum. Is this a is feature, or a bug? It seems like a bug.

It seems to happen only when I reply to a reply, in topics I’ve started (though only I have started topics.) So, for example, the notification text will read “You have one new reply to Example Topic Title from Example Poster”–when in fact, what’s happened is that I, not Example Poster, have replied to E.P.’s post in my topic thread.

The other thing that makes me think it might be a bug is that when I go to my profile, where it stores all “read” notifications, none of these incorrect notifications appear.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi All,

I am currently working on a private site which uses WordPress + Buddypress + bbPress.

The forum posts do not have the line spacing the way I want it.. Basically it doesnt put a nice line break in between the paragraphs.

I have used the search feature on here and google, and have tried the following:

.post p {
line-height: 1.5em;
padding-bottom: 15px;
}

AND

.bbp-reply-content p {
margin-bottom:10px;
}

I think there were a couple of other things I tried, but to no avail.

I am using the TinyMCE visual editor plugin, however, I have disabled this and the issue still exists.

I’d like to think I can navigate the CSS reasonably well using firebug, but in this case, I just can’t find where the issue is.

Am hoping someone can take a look (i’ll supply login/pass for those willing) to see where I’m going wrong?

Note: I am using my own custom theme designed in Template Toaster. I have a bbpress.css file in my theme folder under <theme>\css

[RLsARc]

Hehehe. Ahm, @robkk, is this even possible?

See if anything in this recently created topic can help you.

Copy feedback-no-topics.php from bbPress’s templates and into your child theme in a folder called bbpress. Then customize the message to your liking.

[Robkk]

Well since you did not place the shortcode in a page. bbPress is inheriting a template in your theme. And it could be one that you can just modify in your theme settings to include a sidebar or not.

To fix the issue you can create a bbpress.php file in your theme and just make sure that the sidebar code is inserted.

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

While using the What The File plugin to spot what templates are being used on your forum archive page and also single forum/topic pages, you can see if they are two separate templates being used.
Or you can just stick to using a sidebar in your theme and not using a fullwidth layout at all on archive/single pages.

You can try to see if another plugin is also causing the issue with bbPress and your site.

And you can try to find some debug information on your site by using WP-Debug set to true.

[Akawey]

Okay, this seems to be an old issue but I’m having the same problem now.
How about having a shortcode that just does it?
I didn’t see a bbpress ‘users’ shortcode amongst those listed in the documentation.

Or is there another fix to this problem…

@joopstringer where do I add the code you suggested?

I’m setting up a site and only my admin user page comes up, all others are 404 pages.
Any help please?

[Robkk]

It is just a conflicting piece of javascript somewhere in the file. If they already have a fix somewhere in that file for comment threading then something similar may need to be done to bbPress reply threading since both their scripts are very similar.

Try this custom php code snippet. Place it in your child themes functions.php file or in a functionality plugin.

add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'rkk_reply_threading_divi' );

function rkk_reply_threading_divi() {

    if( function_exists( 'is_bbpress' ) && bbp_is_single_topic() && bbp_thread_replies() ) {
        wp_dequeue_script( 'divi-custom-script' );
    }
}

Hello all,

I wanted to seek help in modifying the following piece of code. I have a site with buddypress groups inside which I have bbpress forums for the respective groups. I want the users of the group to be automatically subscribed to the forums within that group. I tried the following code:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_subscribe_link', 'invert_get_user_subscribe_link', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_forum', 'invert_is_user_subscribed_to_forum', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_subscribers', 'invert_get_forum_subscribers' ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_subscribed', 'invert_is_user_subscribed', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription

function invert_is_user_subscribed($retval, $user_id, $object_id, $subscribed_ids) {
	if (get_post_type( $object_id ) == bbp_get_forum_post_type())
		return !$retval;
	else	
		return $retval;
}

function strContains($needle, $haystack) {
	if (strpos($haystack, $needle) !== false) {
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}

function invert_get_user_subscribe_link ($html, $r, $user_id, $topic_id) {
	if (strContains( "bbp_unsubscribe", $html )) {
		$html = str_replace("bbp_unsubscribe", "bbp_subscribe", $html);
	} else {
		$html = str_replace("bbp_subscribe", "bbp_unsubscribe", $html);
	}
	return $html;
}

function invert_get_forum_subscribers( $users ) {
	$args = array('fields' => 'id');
	$all_users = get_users($args);
	$send_to_users    = array_diff($all_users, $users);
	return $send_to_users;
}

function invert_is_user_subscribed_to_forum( $retval, $user_id, $forum_id, $subscribed_ids ) {
	return !$retval;
}

But there is a problem. Using the following code leads to the user getting subscribed to all the forums of all the groups (even those which they aren’t a part of). I just want them to be automatically subscribed to those forum topics created inside the group which they are a part of. Kindly help me in getting this right.

Thanks!

Hi,
you can try to disable all the plugin but bbpress.
I had the same problem as yours but when I disable the WPML Multilingual CMS ,then the button is appeared

[tylerkroff]

I’ve switched between about 5 different themes, trying to install bbpress with each one. Each time, the result is the same. I get a message saying that bbpress was installed, but when I try to go back to the WordPress dashboard, I just get a completely white page. I can’t even navigate back to delete bbpress, so I have to do it manually through FTP.

Right now I am using the Genesis Framework theme, but the same problem has happened with the default themes (Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen, etc.)

Any ideas what it might be?

My website is http://www.poorpilots.com/

I am using the latest version of WordPress.

[wesphily]

Nimva just informed me that they never intended for their theme to work with bbpress. Also, they don’t support it. Guess I’ll be hunting for a new theme.

[wpfundi]

WP version: 4.3.1 multisite
BuddyPress version: 2.3.3
bbPress version: 2.5.8

I have been trying to migrate BuddyPress legacy forums to bbPress following the instructions on this link https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/

But the migration/import is not going well, after the process:

1) Topics are missing
2) Replies are missing

And during the process I can see “No topics to convert”, No replies to convert.

When I check the database I can see wp_bb_topics etc.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

[RLsARc]

got an issue regarding Stephen Edgar – Netweb – bbPress – Custom Role Names (Link)

I change Keymaster role name to Administrator. The plugin works fine w/ logged in users but logged off users still views as Keymaster role name.

Hoping for answers. Thanks!

[wesphily]

This is the response I got from Nimva:

Your code source and current page template might be generated using BBPress templates not by Nimva page templates. Try to edit that Forums page and see if it is possible change the current page template to Default page template under Page Attributes -> Templates. See if that does anything

I think what they are asking me to do is create a page and put the forum index shortcode in it. Then they want me to try to adjust the page template to see if a sidebar shows up. This might work, but it would only work for the main index page. I don’t think this would work for every category/topic/ect.. unless I create shortcode pages for all of them.

Can you all please advise?

[thrivehau]

I’m trying to follow https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ step 6, and every time I make a “forums page” the permalink becomes “forums-2” and I can’t edit it to just “forums”, like there’s already a link with that “forums” even though I don’t have a “forums” page already.

When I delete the forums-related pages, the mydomain.com/forums is still there.

I tried the method 2 from the codex, but I do not like it as the Home > forums is there and when I click on forums, it takes me to a blank page.

How do I fix this permalink issue?

[nikhilnaik]

Hello All,

I am using a buddypress+bbpress intergrated site, hence the bbpress profiles are disabled. Only buddypress profiles are made visible because of which I can’t figure out which user is subscribed to which forum. Is there a function or a shortcode using which I can display on the user dashboard the topics/forums he is subscribed to?

Thanks.

[nikhilnaik]

Hello All,

I have a buddypress & bbpress integrated site. I am using buddypress groups inside which the bbpress forums exists. There are about 4 groups with 30 members in each group and I have used a “invert subscribe” code (in my functions file), which I came across on one of the threads here. It by default makes the members of the group to be subscribed to the forum and receive email alerts for every thread/topic created.

But now after I installed the Postman email plugin, I noticed that the email notification meant for the members of the group are being sent out to the members of all the group and all the 120+ users on the site. How can I avoid this and see to it that the emails are being sent out only to the particular group members.

Here is the invert subscribe code that I am using:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_user_subscribe_link', 'invert_get_user_subscribe_link', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_subscribed_to_forum', 'invert_is_user_subscribed_to_forum', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_get_forum_subscribers', 'invert_get_forum_subscribers' ); //invert forum subscription
add_filter( 'bbp_is_user_subscribed', 'invert_is_user_subscribed', 10, 4 ); //invert forum subscription

function invert_is_user_subscribed($retval, $user_id, $object_id, $subscribed_ids) {
	if (get_post_type( $object_id ) == bbp_get_forum_post_type())
		return !$retval;
	else	
		return $retval;
}

function strContains($needle, $haystack) {
	if (strpos($haystack, $needle) !== false) {
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}

function invert_get_user_subscribe_link ($html, $r, $user_id, $topic_id) {
	if (strContains( "bbp_unsubscribe", $html )) {
		$html = str_replace("bbp_unsubscribe", "bbp_subscribe", $html);
	} else {
		$html = str_replace("bbp_subscribe", "bbp_unsubscribe", $html);
	}
	return $html;
}

function invert_get_forum_subscribers( $users ) {
	$args = array('fields' => 'id');
	$all_users = get_users($args);
	$send_to_users    = array_diff($all_users, $users);
	return $send_to_users;
}

function invert_is_user_subscribed_to_forum( $retval, $user_id, $forum_id, $subscribed_ids ) {
	return !$retval;
}

add_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_form_subscriptions', 'subscribed_by_default'); //default subscribe
add_action('bbp_theme_after_reply_form_subscription', 'subscribed_by_default'); //default subscribe

function subscribed_by_default() {
	echo '<script type="text/javascript">jQuery("#bbp_topic_subscription").prop("checked","checked");</script>';
}
?>

Thanks!

Hi Rob, it is my theme’s style sheet with changed colour code and it’s not styling.

Did you try adding !important to see if that would work??

The index was fine – I assume because I filled in description and it’s filled out. Specific board indexes don’t fill to 100% nor do thread pages without much written in the posts.

Yes. Sorry my mistake. It might be that bbPress is inheriting different templates for archive and single pages. Try to check that by installing the What the File plugin and see what template is being inherited from the forum archive and single topic pages and see if it is different.
