Hi all, is there any way to restrict that email notifications in a topic only apply to 2nd level replies to my reply? And not for other users replies on the same topic.

I don’t want to receive notifications of other replies in the topic I have replied.

Running:
– WordPress 4.1.5
– bbPress: 2.5.6

Thanks in advance!

bbPress does not do this by default, and it might be a little tricky to do this with the subscriptions component.

What you want may be custom development and you may need to hire a developer to create this for you.

[Robkk]

bbPress does have profiles, but like I said with BuddyPress active the profiles merge by defautt.

IF you want link me to your site and I could just point it out for you.

IF you have BuddyPress the subscriptions section will be something like this by default.

yoursite.com/members/andyrushtonprogramming/forums/subscriptions/

Without BuddyPress the subscriptions section will be in your bbPress forum profile with a url simllar to this by default.

yoursite.com/forums/profile/andyrushtonprogramming/subscriptions

Did that help you find it yet?

@Robkk oops sorry for being slow on the uptake on what you were saying. OK, I get it now. Except I can’t get it working on our installation. We’re using bbPress stand-alone, not part of BuddyPress, so maybe the link you gave only works when using the combination of the two? The ‘profile’ element in the URL suggests that this is a BuddyPress feature to me since bbPress doesn’t have profiles.

Anyway, it’s not really what I was trying to fix. I’m using the “bbPress Notify (NoSpam)” plugin to solve the actual problem. But thanks for the tip, it is useful in these forums.

Hello
we are using (bbPress)recent topics default widget, does any one knows that how to make “number of reply” show like this on widget ‘s topic list?

I’ve been doing some testing tonight, and actually made the realization that the starter theme is not the way to go for me. The first suggestion of yours seem to give me what I’m after just as well, and with a lot less effort on my part in the next stages.

In response to my other questions though (referencing this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbp-single-forum-wont-work/#post-166535):

Surely, there’s got to be a way of displaying both the forum index AND other shortcode elements on the home page of the forum? Since it won’t allow me to do changes in wp-admin if I set a custom page as root, do I have to call the shortcode via PHP in my bbpress.php custom template file?

Also, I’d love the front page “Latest update” to permalink the latest post, not the topic. Difficult task?

[Inggo]

Thanks Robkk,

There’s no way to use the built-in sending of email bbPress has like when you click the “subscribe” button on topics and tags?

[AilyRoot]

Hello

for us, https://bbpress.org/forum/troubleshooting/ looks “better” , why there is especially a “(Recommended)” on that option though?

any conflicts will occur ?

[Robkk]

It is just like customizing a regular WordPress theme.

Just copy the bbpress.css file into your child theme in a folder called css then edit it to your liking.

It is weird that when I check the teststudents blog in the dashboard, I can see users listed as Participant as their site role, while it should be Subscriber.

The WordPress backend menu is all off when I hover over menu items. I do not know what is causing that. Also some bbPress tools in the Tools section, seem to have their own menu items also, which I do not know why.

There also seems to be forums on some blogs with the same content too??

This is one for example.

http://theglobalschool.net/science/tilliemcr/forums/topic/hello-world/

You can probably find more by visiting the site, and adding /forums at the end of the url.

If you haven’t already try some troubleshooting to see what is causing all of this.

They are just listed as “participant” under users of the blog in question. I’m not sure whether they are bbpress forum roles, but bbpress must have something to do with it because when I uninstall bbpress the behaviour stops.

There are no forums on these blogs, just the parent blog (http://theglobalschool.net/science).

Try it for yourself. Go to a sub-blog (http://theglobalschool.net/science/nerissabcr). Hover over “blog authors”. There are heaps – most have only viewed the blog. Notice ‘teststudent’ is not listed as a blog author.

Now go to http://theglobalschool.net/science and sign in as [removed login information]. Now visit that blog again. I bet “teststudent” is added as a blog author.

That is a really old topic that used bbPress v1 standalone, which is entirely different software than what you have now. So I would recommend not using any code from topics about 3 or more years old.

You may need to install a Find and Replace plugin to remove the tt tags, or just change back to break tags.

To add mutiple line breaks you may need to read this, maybe install the mentioned plugin, and maybe also active TinyMCE in bbPress using the bbPress Enable TinyMCE plugin.

Thanks for finding that bug. I will create a trac ticket for this.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2864

[Robkk]

Closing this in favor of your other topic.

How can I change voices and replies

Please do not make duplicate topics.

[Robkk]

You can use the default registration forms in WordPress instead. The bbPress register shortcode is not really complete in functionality. The login shortcode should work decent enough though.

[Robkk]

I have seen users use Qtranlate or Qtranslate Plus. You may need to use a fix though for resolve some other menu item issue.

Conflict with qTranslate

[Robkk]

Download this file and edit it to change the word Freshness. Make sure to copy the file in a folder called bbpress in your child theme.

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout

Or try this that might help get the “by” and category layout. You should be able to copy all the folders in your child theme.

https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs

[Robkk]

Don’t change the root settings in bbPress to be that page and it should work.

If you only have one forum, make it where the Forum root should show Topics by Freshness in Settings > Forums, then you can just leave it how it is without an additional page.

[Robkk]

@andyrushtonprogramming go to your forum profile on your website, I was just using the one on bbpress.org just as an example.

It should be something like

yoursite.com/forums/profile/username/subscriptions

With “yoursite.com” being your actual site url, and “username” being your username. You can easily access your profile by hitting your author link in your reply.

If you have BuddyPress active, the bbPress forum profile will merge into BuddyPress, and anything in the bbPress should be under a menu item on your profile named Forums.

[Robkk]

copy loop-topics.php from the bbpress plugin into your child theme in a folder called bbpress and edit these lines.

<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php _e( 'Voices', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

You can change it like so.

<li class="bbp-topic-voice-count"><?php _e( 'Participants', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
<li class="bbp-topic-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( 'Comments', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'Posts', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

Theme Compatibility

[Robkk]

I took a break yesterday sorry.

Have you tried some troubleshooting? It may be related to cache, a theme, a plugin conflict, or if you made your forums Hidden.

I’m going through the odious task of importing a Ning forum to bbPress. The hard part (or so I thought) is done. I was able to get about everything from Ning into BuddyPress.

However, when I get to the last phase–BuddyPress to bbPress migration–which I thought would be easy-peasy, I lose all the replies to the forum topics! I’m following the migration process exactly (as far as I know) but it always fails. Here are the details:

I’m currently on a local server using XAMPP.
WordPress 4.2.4
BuddyPress 2.3.3 (using the default theme)
bbPress 2.5.8

The only other plugins I have installed are The Events Calendar (which you kind of need for the Ning conversion) and BackupBuddy, so that I can restore/reset after every unsuccessful attempt.

I have a smallish forum of fewer than 100 people and 4 groups.

At the time of this writing, I’ve restored the site to its last successful state:
– All data successfully imported into BuddyPress
– bbPress is installed and activated
– Final migration has not yet been attempted.

So, you can see all forums and replies, etc., in the BuddyPress theme on the site. The bbPress forums section in the admin menu is empty, as expected.

Now my typical next step, which always fails, is to follow the codex on migrating forums from BuddyPress to bbPress. I’ve been following it to the letter:

Migrating from old forums to bbPress 2.2+

Unfortunately, during Step 5, the actual import step, I get the following error message:


WordPress database error: [Table 'foo.wp_bb_terms' doesn't exist]

SELECT convert(term_relationships.object_id USING "utf8mb4") AS object_id,convert(term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id USING "utf8mb4") AS term_taxonomy_id,convert(terms.name USING "utf8mb4") AS name,convert(terms.slug USING "utf8mb4") AS slug FROM wp_bb_term_relationships AS term_relationships INNER JOIN wp_bb_term_taxonomy AS term_taxonomy USING (term_taxonomy_id) INNER JOIN wp_bb_terms AS terms USING (term_id) LIMIT 0, 100


I can’t tell if it is just complaining or if the import has actually failed at that point. Nevertheless, I finish all the steps. At that point, the groups have become forums in bbPress and the topics have transferred but only the first post in each. All replies are gone and I haven’t found any way to restore them.

One additional detail–I don’t know if it’s relevant. In order to do the Ning conversion, it’s best if you use BuddyPress v1.6, which I did. Afterward, I updated to the latest version. (Is that why wp_bb_terms didn’t get created?)

I’d greatly appreciate any insight on this. I’m so happy to be getting away from Ning–I can’t believe I’m getting tripped up on the WP side! 🙂

[kleypie]

I was wondering if anybody had a solution to this? I’d like my users to have the formatting toolbar for posts but I dont like that when they click “link” it shows “link to existing content” and shows pages and pretty much tons of stuff I dont want my forum users to go to. If you want to know what I mean, you can actually do the same thing on this bbPress support forum when you are replying to a post.

Is there a way to turn that off?

My site btw is

Thank you!!
