It works fine when I tested it on my site.

You can try to test to see if works fine in a topic, reply, and a blog post to see if you get different results from each.

Try some troubleshooting to see if a plugin/theme functionality caused the issue.

If you acquired a ton of code snippets and placed it in your child theme check on that.

So the users gain the bbPress forum role of participant for each site they are viewing? Is there any forums on these other blogs, or is the forums just on a subsite?

[chigoziekyrian]

First of all thanks to the Bbpress forum Developers and supporters, i commend you all.

I want to ask if you have this feature in a plugin or if is tweak able..

Creating different groups with different Forums associated to each group respectively

For example

Group A can Post Topics and Reply in Forum A

Group B can Post Topics and Reply in Forum B

Group C can Post Topics and reply in Group C

BUT Group A can only reply in Forum B and C, they can’t post Topic in Forum B and C (They can only post Topic in their own associated Forum A)

Group B can only reply in Forum A and C, they cant post Topics in Forum A and C (They can only post in their own associated Forum B)

Group C can only reply in Forum A and B, they cant post Topics in Forum A and B (They can only post in their own associated Forum C)

AND

In the Topic Form with this short code [bbp-topic-form] let the drop down forum be only forums associated with the Group
example

If Group A member logs in to post via [bbp-topic-form] page, he will see only Forum A at the select Forum option,
(he will only see drop down of forums associated with his group, or both Sub Forums)

because I wont display the Full forum index on the site, i will only display Recent Topics, Recent comments, etc then with handle of ‘Start a topic’ with this form [bbp-topic-form]

Thanks…

It’s not registering the user; the user becomes a “participant” on the blog they have viewed. The only person who can register a user is me.

Example of what happens: a blog on my multisite is http://theglobalschool.net/science/news . The only user for this blog is the administrator.

Another member of the multiside views this blog, and immediately becomes a “participant” of this blog. I don’t want this to occur because, when students log into the site, on the toolbar they see a whole bunch of blogs listed under “my blog” which they cannot contribute to.

I have the latest version of WordPress, and have tried deleting bbPress and reinstalling to no avail.

Suggestions?

Also, I have read many posts like this ( https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/multiple-newlines-in-a-post/ ), but I am looking for a more permanent solution for all users if its out there.

[timsilva_]

I am migrating a forum database from the latest version of SMF to the latest version of bbPress. In SMF, many posts had multiple line-breaks in between sentences, paragraphs, images, videos, etc. It appears that WordPress, and bbPress, strip out multiple line breaks and limit them to a single line break (probably to prevent people from creating giant vertical gaps for no reason that other users have to scroll through). The way that bbPress deals with line-breaks from the SMF database migration was not very clean. It was mostly just random blocks of text and sentences without line breaks in between paragraphs that existed in SMF. There were PRE tags added in sometimes, and seemingly inconsistent P tags as well. BR tags appear to have been converted into empty TT tags. I was able to correct some of these formatting issues by tweaking lots of CSS (and a little JavaScript) in the default bbPress template. At the same time, I have also tested how line-breaks work separate from the migrated database and it appears that this maximum-of-one-line-break philosophy is on purpose. I see where that’s coming from, but I want to allow it anyways.

I have read of methods where admins (and/or other users) can manually type in br tags as html with non-breaking spaces in between them as a hacky method of moving down three or four lines for whatever reason. I don’t want to have to train users how to do something that should be as simple as press enter like in any text editor.

How can I simply achieve this in bbPress’s default comment forms? I don’t want users to have to type in…

<br />&nbsp<br />

…when they can simply just press enter twice in the textarea input.

Greetings!

I have been thrilled with bbpress so far. Customizing can be difficult but well worth it in the end! I have on problem and I hope it is a simple thing…

When someone pastes a youtube url it only auto embeds if you remove the S in the HTTPS.. In the past it seemed to not matter whether the url had https or not, but lately it seems as though pasting with the secure url breaks auto-embed.

Any thoughts on how I can remedy this?

[Léo]

I noticed something interesting, there is no problem when I log out using the BuddyPress widget.

Do you have a multisite installation?
No.

Is WordPress installed in a sub-folder?
No.

What is the url you get when you try to logout?
With the WordPress toolbar: http://original-beast.revhost.fr/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=323d408059&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Foriginal-beast.revhost.fr%2F%3Floggedout%3Dtrue
With the BuddyPress widget: http://original-beast.revhost.fr/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Foriginal-beast.revhost.fr%2F&_wpnonce=323d408059

What areas did you try to logout from? The WordPress Toolbar, bbPress login widget, something else?
WordPress toolbar.

Did this issue occur when you immediately activated bbPress? Or did the issue occur after a certain upgrade?
Only when bbPress is activated.

Did you have any cache plugins activated? Have you tried flushing the cache? If it is deactivated reactivate the plugin and flush the cache.
I don’t have any cache plugin.

Anything that can cache activated on your site, server cache, cloudflare, object cache, opcode caching?
I don’t have that.

What hosting provider do you have?
Revolta Hosting

Try as much of the basic troubleshooting steps as you can, also try some of the additional solutions listed.

Some users have a plugin issue with this, while others it may be a theme, or it could be resolved using the repair tools.

THere is a guide linked in here about fixing some possible 404 errors too.

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

That might not be so great performence wise.

This topic has a nice function that might be useful though if you want to create something custom for yourself.

Force all users to be subscribed to all topics

As an alternative there is the bbPress notify (no spam) plugin.

[mihirpatel7410]

I have same problem, I have installed the latest bbpress plugin to my wordpress site. There isn’t a single tab or subcategory to be found in my dashboard that relates to BBPress.

give us solution.

[Robkk]

Toward the bottom of #24 it mentions that icon fonts can work too.

Not my forum.

I think your theme author pretty much just took this and fused it with their theme.

https://github.com/syamilmj/Supportte

This theme (supportte) is really intended to be used as a theme for Envato authors that want a support forum also for their product.

The verification dialogue is there because the Aqua Verifier plugin is required for some instances of your bbPress forums. The plugin is to restrict access to only users who bought a product from you (best if you are an Envato theme author) and they need to input the purchase code of the product they purchased (from Envato) to have access to the forums.

https://github.com/syamilmj/Aqua-Verifier

There is no setting in bbPress that can modify this like I said, it is all in your theme and the Aqua Verifier plugin is required.

Link your theme author to this topic if you need to.

[Stefano Lissa]

Hi, I’m unsing that patch in a couple of sites, and it seems to work. Where do you think there is a problem? In my blogs I’ve just added a filter which replaces the moderation key used by bbpress (the variable $blacklist in the code which initially contains the moderation keys of WordPress).

Bye, Stefano.

[AilyRoot]

Hello

could you please shed the light that where we could edit widget: (bbpress) recent topics ‘s variable such as how many days is defined as “recent” and its CSS? we want to change the way of listing

thanks!

Aily

[Robkk]

Any of the main bbPress settings are in Settings > Forums in the WordPress backend.

Does your forum look sort of like this?

http://support.aquagraphite.com/

[Robkk]

That topic you linked to mentions about 2 unread posts plugins.

There is also about 4 more on the WordPress plugin repository.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress+unread

[Robkk]

You can use RSS.

Like say if you go to

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic-tag/subscription/feed/

You can subscribe to that RSS feed.

[Shmoo]

Yes great find, thank you Robkk,

Now you can also do this, ..and make the pagination an unordered list like it should be by the default. 🙂

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_pagination( $args ) {

	$args['type'] = 'list';
	$args['prev_text'] = 'previous';
	$args['next_text'] = 'next';

	return $args;

}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_pagination' );

WP Codex: all those args should probably work now.

[Inggo]

I’ve read about the old thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-unread-posts-distinctively/

Is the stance still the same? Are there no plugins that will allow displaying unread posts or something similar since your last log in?

[demonboy]

Hi Rob,

Thanks for this. Unfortunately if I add this to my functions.php Dreamweaver tells me there is a syntax error on lines 21 to 22 (which is the second and third lines in your code), and I don’t know php well enough to work out what’s wrong. My complete functions.php file, with your code, is this:

<?php 

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_dashicons_front_end' );
function load_dashicons_front_end() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'dashicons' );
}

function bp_keep_user_private( $user_login, $user ) {

	global $wpdb;

	if( 'demo' === $user->user_login ) {

		$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( "UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_status = 2 WHERE ID = %d", $user->ID ) );
	}

}
add_action( 'wp_login', 'bp_keep_user_private', 10, 2 );

add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_list_forums' );
function ntwb_bbpress_list_forums() {
	$args['show_topic_count'] = false;
	$args['show_reply_count'] = false;
	return $args;
}

[Inggo]

Hi,

Is there a quick and easy way to integrate Press Permit into bbPress?

[Robkk]

I think this should do it. If it does not change the word before in the filter to after.

add_filter('bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_list_forums' );
function ntwb_bbpress_list_forums() {
	$args['show_topic_count'] = false;
	$args['show_reply_count'] = false;
	return $args;
}

[Shmoo]

This is strange..

Why is my filter not working. When I look at my screenshot you can see that this array has an apply_filter() function before the variable/array goes through the paginate_links().
This filter I should use, I expect if I want to make any changes to the array before it gets pulled into the paginate_links() function – right?

So I created this add_filter function to test if I can change the <– arrow –> symbols. But for some reason no success at all.

function xx_my_stuff( $bbp_topic_pagination ) {

	$bbp_topic_pagination = array(
		'prev_text' => 'test',
		'next_text' => 'test',
	);
	return $bbp_topic_pagination;

}
add_filter( 'bbp_topic_pagination', 'xx_my_stuff' );

[demonboy]

I researched this and came across a thread on this forum here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-remove-0-0-in-the-forum-name/

However this is out of date and the solution described no longer applies. Any pointers?
