Any help much appreciated

Haha! I did not even edit/create this page before. 🙂

Alright, thanks for pointing that out. I just now changed the errors you pointed out for now, but this guide might be completely rewritten later because it does contain information that is similar to/that should be in the theme compatibility guide.

Theme Compatibility

And it kind of has information that might be in this guide later when it is finished.

Template hierarchy in detail

The amending templates guide might be a comprehensive guide all about customizing the templates/creating custom templates/customizing how theme compatibility works, and not necessarily about just copying the templates in your theme and knowing that you can customize it.

Also just above that it states…
Wp-content/plugins/templates/default/bbpress/

Should be…
Wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

Hey guys,

Not a support question but don’t know where else to place this.

I just noticed a small typo within the Documentation part of the bbPress website, how can I notify someone?

Hi,

I have two menu areas on my website: main and top. I would like to add user profile link to top menu only.

I found this example, which was were useful: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#8-add-edit-profile-to-a-wordpress-menu But it adds link to both menus, top and main. I would like to add user profile link only to top menu, without adding it to main menu.

Can you help me please?

[project_subdomain]

just had the problem that on all not bbpress-related pages the title was ” ‘s “.
When commenting out the part for “User is viewing someone else’s profile” it’s working correctly on all pages, also when viewing another profile:

else {
			$new_title['text'] = sprintf( esc_attr_x( "%s's", 'User viewing another users profile', 'bbpress' ), get_userdata( bbp_get_user_id() )->display_name );
       }

fyi new occurred, just had a wordpress update recently

[project_subdomain]

UPDATE: sorry, thought code is causing the browser’s title as ” ‘s” on all non-bbpress-related pages. need to find the reason which does not seem to be in relation to this topic.

Hi

How would I be able to remove the author column in posts?

I have BBpress set up so that it uses only one forum, and I have linked that one forum to the menu items in my themes menu.

It seems to be a bit bloated with the author column right now.

[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

I think it is how the subscriptions work, this might be a reason TinyMCE was disabled by default too, and also for security reasons.

There may not be an easy way to fix this without editing the core files of bbPress.

Like I said I created this trac ticket awhile ago that is about this issue. It might take awhile before a patch is made into the bbPress plugin update though.

Closing in favor of your other topic.

Displaying value in every first reply. which function ?

Please do not create duplicate topics.

[Robkk]

That template taxonomy-topic-tag.php should be in the root of your theme, you can try that with your custom theme.

I am not sure what else to suggest as this is custom development. You might need to study how topic-tag is used in bbPress possibly.

[Robkk]

Okay I tested this theme again today and found some issues are actually in the bbPress plugin right now, but it is fixed in the latest dev version.

The user profile page being transparent is related to this bug listed here for theme compatibility.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2545

This is what the profile page and its sub pages looks like this with the modification in the bbPress plugin and without any WP Fix plugins, a custom bbpress.php, without transferring the bbPress templates into the theme.

There is also a possibility to fix the forum search, views listing, topic tag archive, moving replies, easily by either using archive and single for most of these bbPress pages to have better compatibility with these type frameworks. For example it might be best to use is_tax() for topic tag archives but using is_archive() will definitely work for most themes and theme frameworks.

Creating a bbpress.php is sort of a workaround for this. I do not have that much familiarality with the theme and framework that you have to know exactly how it needs to be to post anything to help with this quite yet.

I thought that guide would help you get most of the way there, since all you would need to change is the urls of your site, but I guess you are just transferring basically from bbPress to bbPress.

Something like this would definitely help in your case though.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2605

I guess you can try Exporting and Importing through the regular WordPress tools provided in the Tools section. I tried just exporting all the bbPress post types Forums, Topics, Replies, then run the repair tools, but that did not help and kind of messed up my test site. You can try that, maybe using ALL content instead or not running the repair tools though I recommend using a test server/local development area first.

[Robkk]

I think the Jetpack team have contacted the bbPress devs especially for this. I bet in a new Jetpack update it will be fixed.

[Robkk]

If the amember software unifies with the wordpress accounts it should work fine with bbPress. You do not need to use the bbPress authentication forms if it does this as bbPress just uses WordPress for authenticating users.

[Robkk]

I think this is somewhat related to your other topic here.

Recently edited replies to the top

I guess you have to make sure the reply sorting is only working on the single topics and not the user profile pages.

You can try something like this to see if it works. You may not even need the second conditional bbp_is_single_user() but I was making sure.

function custom_bbp_has_replies( $args ) { 
    if ( bbp_is_single_topic{} && !bbp_is_single_user() ) { 
        $args['orderby'] .= 'post_modified';
        $args['order'] .= 'DESC';
    } 
    return $args; 
} 
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_has_replies' );' );

Since I am not 100% sure that I have the right conditionals since I haven’t tested this you can double check here.

It is missing on the frontend of your site on the topic and reply forms right??

Did you make sure you have the Post Formatting enabled in Settings > Forums?

You can also see if it is a plugin issue by trying some troubleshooting. You can also see if you have some code snippet in your theme by switching to a default theme temporarily to see if it fixes the issue.

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

Since I can tell this is related to this topic.

Sort topics alphabetically

Explain what you mean by pagination with ABC, like sorting through each the first letter of each topic?? That might be custom development, but explain exactly what you mean to make sure.

Hello, I’ve installed bbPress on my development server and everything worked perfectly. Now I have installed on my live site and the installation went smooth but when I create a new forum the tool bar for the editor doesn’t appear. I can add content and hit submit, but there is no way to format it with the absence of the toolbar. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Graeme

[project_subdomain]

Solved it, maybe it’s helping others as well.
It’s been caused by a custom code in my functions that did sort the replies and with which I had no problems so far. As bbpress now has this reply order feature integrated, it has not only become redundant but conflicting. First appearing when I star to use bbpress’ integrated reply order feature, resulting in showing all replies of a users as “my replies” instead of the user’s only.

So without looking into the code I’m assuming it’s detected by the user’s ID as usual.

Hello

We have 2 invision boards to move into bbpress, but we want to merge 2 bbpress forum into one, is it possible? and how to do it please?

[tw_crowther]

WordPress Version: 4.3.1
Theme: Omega
bbPress Version: 2.5.8

Issue: I installed the bbPress plug-in. Created a Forum called Forum, and created one Topic so I can test. All bbPress settings are left as default.

I created a Page called Forums and added this page to my site navigation.

My issues are 3 fold.
1) When I click on “Forum” in the site navigation to access the page I created I do not see any forum imbedded on this page, all I see is are the words “Archives” then the title “Forums” in the main body of text.
2) If I click on the title Forums this does direct me to the bbPress Forum I created – How do I integrate the Forum directly onto the “Forums” custom page I created?
3) I notice the Forum URL is <sitename>/forums/forum/forum/ is there a way to remove 2 of these levels so the URL is simply <sitename>/forums

I hope this makes sense and you are able to help.
Kind regards,
Tom.

I am trying to add a forum to my site and have it protected by aMember. The user must have access to a certain product in aMember in order to access the forum. I’m totally confused as to whether I should be creating a bbPress login page or if the user should login through aMember. Nothing seems to be working.

Can someone help map out how this should look with the two integrated? I don’t want the user to have to login twice and I don’t believe they should since aMember and WordPress share a database (I think). Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Or if you know someone that would do this for a fee that would be great too. 🙂

Thank you,
Tanya

It could be a caching plugin or just cache in general. You may need to clear the cache on your site to see if everything works out well. Just deactivating a cache plugin will not clear whatever cache is still saved on your site.
