Of course… sorry, I am forgetting to look at bbpress as a plugin, keep thinking its instead of wp.

You’re all over this Robkk… thanks again! 😉

[TJR3217]

thanks casiepa. i agree with you on open source, but that is a separate issue. if my comments were taken as slamming bbpress, that was not intended. i am just direct and make my comments based on the results i am getting. i do not have issue with anything else on the site and all other email notifications are working. on the other hand, it is worth noting that i believe i have isolated the problem. i will post here on the details if all tests work out correctly.

[Pascal Casier]

Well, to me it’s a strength to have such an open plugin where anybody can build extra blocks to do whatever he wants to obtain… For whatever is not in the core, somebody has probably already written something for it.
Just post on this forum is the issue is about bbpress. If your problem is with an email plugin, better post on the forum on that plugin to be sure to get the correct help.

@TJR3217
Did you get notifications before ? Do you get any standard emails like for new user creation ?
If you don’t get any emails at all, then bbpress is probably not to blame.
Personally I had lot of issues since wp 4.3, but all issues were in the plugins handling smtp emails.
Pascal.
PS. Did you get an email for this ?

OK thanks. So on the public site I should add the bbPress plugin to WP and then use the importer to move all of the existing forum posts and user info, etc to WP? Should I import the old forum first and then change the formatting in WP or do I create a new forum in WP the way I want it to look and then import the data? Or does it make any difference?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am new to bbPress. I have installed bbPress using the Fount theme. When I visit the forum page (http://conceivable.ca/forums/) – the forum will not load using Safari. The website seems to be appearing using Firefox and Chrome. Is the problem the Fount theme?

Thank you.

You want to use a contact form plugin for your forum?? Do you need any specific placement of the forum, like in a forum post or something??

If you have a WordPress site running the bbPress plugin, you should be able to use a contact form plugin like CF7 with no problems.

[Robkk]

bbPress was a standalone software for forums in the 0.1 to 1.0 era, now with version 2.0 and on it is a WordPress plugin.

The plugin version also includes an importer for the v1 standalone version that might be helpful.

I have deactive the open graph in Yoast SEO options, and this brought some troubles. My forum bbpress is does not work.

Can you help me please?

[egb123]

I am really confused about how bbPress works…

I have taken over a website from a previous administrator. I replaced the WordPress site completely with a new one I developed. There was already a bbPress forum (a whole separate SQL database), so I just added a menu item to my site that linked to the existing forum directly. http://www.oakridgeoutlaws.org

Now I need to work on customizing the forum. Since I originally developed my new WP site on my own computer using WAMP I thought I would add bbPress there first to play around with it. So, from WordPress, I added the bbPress plug-in and followed the the instructions. I can make a forum show up on a page, but it is not like what is on the public server. On the real website there is a whole other SQL database for the forum. On my local site, there is just a bbpress folder in my plugins folder.

I saw a comment on another thread here that said “bbPress is not a WordPress plug-in. It is a stand-alone software.” What am I missing? What did I download when I added a plugin called bbPress?

Thank you for putting up with a confused newbie.

If your theme gets a breadcrumb, then disable Yoast’s one. You may have two breadcrumb:

First ==> WordPress
Second==> BBPress

You do this:

function tempera_breadcrumbs1() {
	$temperas= tempera_get_theme_options();
	foreach ($temperas as $key => $value) { ${"$key"} = $value ; }
	global $post;

 if( !is_bbpress()){	
	
	if (is_page() && !is_front_page() || is_single() || is_category() || is_archive()) {
		echo '<div class="breadcrumbs">';
        echo '<a href="'.home_url().'"><i class="icon-homebread"></i></a>'.$separator ;
        if (is_page()) {

Hi Robkk, I’d like to change the capabilities for the roles, so I think adding the new roles would be better.

When I move my code to my Child Theme, my website goes blank.

Do you know if theres something that I’m missing?

This is my Child Theme with the 3 new role and new capabilities in it… (when I add this code to the core bbpress files, it works, but now that I moved it to my Child Theme, my site goes blank).

<?php

// enqueue the child theme stylesheet

Function wp_schools_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_register_style( 'childstyle', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css'  );
wp_enqueue_style( 'childstyle' );
}

Hi Robkk,

thanks for pointing this out.
I’ve just installed the entire WP + bbpress from scratch, without success.
Everything does work – beside “publishing” the forum to frontend. within backend the forum gets published, also publishing as admin (via script) doesn’t change a thing.

Thanks, I’ll keep on searching. There is no need to spam my DB. Everything works.
This is an Publish/Update issue. bbpress itself runs perfect without issues at all.

Any further suggestion is very welcome, thanks.

[donchulio]

Hi Stephen,

is there any way to get a little support from you? I am not very firm in php/mysql and I need to import data to bbPress from my SMF forum. Maybe we could get in touch for a little chat? I think its nothing big for you but for me its rocket science. 😉

The import is working (except of the attachments) but the text is losing his style and there a lots of “<tt>” in the text after the import.

I would be very happy, if we can talk to each other to solve this problem. I really want to use bbPress with my community now! 🙂

Here you can see the problems: http://v2.germansimracing.de/community/
Just open one of the threads and you will see the different fonts etc.

hi friends,

Me too, breadcrumb is not showing only in forum pages.

Previously i had WordPress SEO plugin. Now disabled that too. But still i am not getting breadcrumb. No code is done. Latest bbpress has been installed as it is.

Please help

Thanks

[Martijn]

Well, the issue is that when I’m using the BBpress plugin, when I log in on mysite.com/*newadmin*
It redirects me to the homepage. Upon returning to the same link it requires me to fill in my login again.
Only after I logged in, I can go to /wp-admin to get into the Dashboard.

This issue is not happening when the BBpress plugin is inactive.

No, we don’t know is also an answer. Then we can look for an alternate solution to what we want.

[pazzaglia]

Rob thanks for the plug-in, which I will use immediately, BUT how is it that it’s not considered a security issue to be giving out “confidential” e-mail addresses Via the BCC field?

It’s a big breach of privacy.

This should be fixed at the core! When spammers get wind of this all they need to do is reply or subscribe to a post topic to snag e-mail addresses of participants. They will.

I don’t want my e-mail address given away and both the BBPress forums and WordPress forums appear NOT to do this while the the default behavior of this application on any other wordpress installation DOES.

Please consider this carefully for addition into the WordPress core.

Ciao,

L

[erich199]

I”ve been reading these topic about “new topic button” and I’m just curious why this isn’t included in the plugin? Most major forums have this feature and when I click on “Start Topic” I don’t have to choose the forum where I want the topic posted. So if I click on “start new topic” in the “General Discussions” forum, it post the topic there. I don’t have to select where to post the topic.

Would love to see this feature in future releases. Thanks for the hard work on bbpress.

[Robkk]

@richardwil

You may need to hire a developer to do the import for you. Devs seem busy working on other aspects of bbPress and importing in general. And for me importing is a huge learning curve.

I guess you can also wait it out with phpBB still until we fix the importer in 2.6.

[Robkk]

Sorry, I forgot all about your topic. Whenever I contacted the devs awhile ago, they were very busy with other bugs, tasks, tests. It might be best to hire a developer for the import as we are being backed up with other things in the bbPress plugin. Stephen might come and reply to your posts in sometime, but maybe not soon as I explained they seem busy.

You may also need to wait it out with SMF until we get the issues with the importer resolved.

[Robkk]

Maybe not using BCC at all would help, plus this delivers emails through the wp-cron to make sending emails more efficient and make the emails most likely not end up in the spam folder.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

[Robkk]

Its some pagination code inherited from the template bbPress is using for its pages.

You might need to create a bbpress.php file from the file bbPress is inheriting from and place it in your child theme and also remove any post meta like the by that is usually for displaying the author of a blog post.

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

If you are using Genesis, I think installing the bbPress Genesis Extend plugin will solved most bbPress layout issues.

Hello,

My Forum is creating multiple pages, yet they all fit on one page. At the bottom of the forums page, it is listing 4 pages. However clicking each page brings the exact same content.

This one too.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbresolutions/

[Robkk]

this is great. thanks Robkk. Just one question… Do I put this into the bbpress.php file in the bbpress folder?

No. Also the bbpress.php file should be in the root of your theme.

I added it here: wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

Just checking if that is correct?

Don’t mess with any core files.

Okay so I put the above code in here and it seems to work:

plugins > bbpress > includes > users

Again, just checking if that is correct?

Don’t mess with any core files.

Here, I forgot I did this a while back. Add this to your functions.php file in your child theme.

function rk_show_role_classes($classes) {
    $replyid = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
    $bbp_get_role = bbp_get_user_display_role($replyid);
    $bbp_display_role = strtolower($bbp_get_role);
	  
  
	$classes[] = $bbp_display_role;
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','rk_show_role_classes' );

Do the CSS I said before for the above code.

It would be something like this but for each role.

.ambassador .bbp-author-role {
  background-color: blue;
}

And if you do not need custom roles but instead just role names, lets say for each role it would be like this.

Keymaster -> Ambassador
Moderator -> Team Member
Participant -> Community Member

You can just change the role names using this function. Add it to your child themes functions.php file. And rename My Custom Role to what you want.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
	return array(
		// Keymaster
		bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Keymaster Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
		),
		// Moderator
		bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Moderator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
		),
		// Participant
		bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Participant Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
		),
		// Spectator
		bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Spectator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
		),
		// Blocked
