Hi Robkk,

I have spent some evenings using for the first time WP_list_table and understanding the bbpress functions, but this is the plugin I have for the moment : http://casier.eu/dev/bbp-manage-subscriptions/

I will also post it in the other thread.

ALL REMARKS WELCOME!

Pascal.

I tried the theme and plugins with bbPress and I didn’t come across any issues.

I am kind of thinking it could be the index.php in your url causing the issue, but I am not really sure.

Since I am not 100% sure, you can try some troubleshooting to see if you can find the solution to your problem.

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

yeah I can’t get it to work either.

I think you could also just use the plugin bbPress Topics for posts for this kind of functionality though.

[Robkk]

Are you using the Divi theme too?? Divi has quite a few issues running with bbPress installed.

[Robkk]

This is the default font-size in the bbPress stylesheet. You can overwrite the statment or install a plugin like bbp style pack which I think would take care of this for you.

#bbpress-forums {
    background: 0 0;
    clear: both;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    overflow: hidden;
    font-size: 12px;
}

You can show the topic index on your home page using this shortcode.

[bbp-topic-index]

Shortcodes

[Robkk]

You can copy the form-topic.php into your theme/child theme into a folder called bbpress to customize the file used on your site.

Theme Compatibility

You can scroll all the way to the bottom of the file, and replace the current message

<div id="no-topic-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>" class="bbp-no-topic">
    <div class="bbp-template-notice">
        <p>You must be <a href="<?php echo site_url('/wp-login.php') ?>">logged in</a> or <a href="<?php echo site_url('/wp-login.php?action=register') ?>">registered</a> to create new topics.</p>
    </div>
</div>

In BBpress each user has the ability to edit their profile users/USER/edit/
Here they can add their name, their website link and their bio by default. However, this information is never actually displayed on their profile. Why is this?

The bio should show.

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/robkk/

As for most of the other fields, not sure really. I know though they are just going off of WordPress’s profile fields, and whatever is added to that though. I don’t know why the devs haven’t put at least website there. Maybe it is easy for spammers to take advantage of that?? First Name and Last Name could make good choices to display on the users profile too.

I will probably make a suggestion to the devs later to add more profile data to the user’s profile.

You can of course display the data in the profile by editing a template or installing a plugin.

Copy user-profile.php from the bbPress templates in the plugin to your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

Just surround the code with conditionals to only display the information when the user has inputted any information.

You have something like this for first name.

<?php if ( bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'first_name' ) ) : ?>

	<p class="bbp-user-fname"><?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'first_name' ); ?></p>

<?php endif; ?>

YOu can also use the plugin, to display the current fields and also custom fields.

Hello,
Not much of a programmer but I want to change the size of the text on the bbPress page. My discussion forums have such small text compared to the rest of my site. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Todd

Try some troubleshooting especially what is listed for plugins. Deactivate every plugin except bbPress to see if the topics can merge correctly. Activate BuddyPress right after to see if topics merge correctly in groups and normal forums. Next, activate every other plugin one at a time to see what could be causing an issue.

If you still cannot merge topics with only bbPress activated, try the other possible solutions listed like trying a default theme to see if that fixes your issue.

Hey guys,
In BBpress each user has the ability to edit their profile users/USER/edit/
Here they can add their name, their website link and their bio by default. However, this information is never actually displayed on their profile. Why is this?
On users profiles it says:

Forum Role: Keymaster

Topics Started: 0

Replies Created: 0

But the information such as their name, bio and website link are not displayed. Why are there options to add this information to the profile if it remains private?
How can I allow it to be displayed publically?
Thanks,
Chris

Is there any updated info on how to convert WP Symposium converter to bPress?

The gethub project in this thread https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-symposium-converter-for-bbpress/ does not work.

I added it to the converters directory and ran fine but it said it could not find any forums to covert.

[Valarion]

Hello,

I’ve searched, really, and I didn’t find any solution before asking here.

So, first, here’s all versions used :
Wordpress : 4.2.4
BBPress : 2.5.8
Theme used : Cry Out Nirvana 1.0.6

A few other extensions are installed :
Active Directory Integration
Advanced Custom Fields
Advanced Custom Fields: Nav Menu Field
CKEditor for WordPress
Collapse-O-Matic
GD bbPress Attachments
List category posts
Members
Our Team
Post Types Order
TablePress
TablePress Extension: Row Details
Uber Login Logo
WP-Utilisateur-Avatar

I think there’s everything.
I can’t give a link to the website, at the moment it’s internal, in progress and next, it will be our new Intranet

So, here’s the issue I have.

My users make forum posts, seems to be OK.
When they try to modify a post, or if I try to modify it myself as admin, I don’t get the window to change the text but an article I made “sticky”, the article is not opened to be modified.

As an example
Link to the post : mysite.fr/index.php/foruminterneimestia/suject/test/
Button Modify : mysite.fr/index.php/foruminterneimestia/suject/test/edit/
Page I receive : mysite.fr/index.php/2015/08/10/edito/

Do you have any idea ?
Ask me any question (but the password)

Hi, to which address are you receiving notification? bbpress uses “bcc” to send notifications but add a “to” address to each outgoing email (probably because not all mail servers accept only the “bcc” address).

The “to” address is noreply@yoursite.tld (if not change by other plugins), it could be this address ends in your mailbox?

They change the noreply address since few versions, before the noreply address was built in a wrong way creating a log of bounced messages.

Stefano.

You need a plugin to use quotes with bbPress. The best plugin with quotes is GD bbPress tools.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/

[hotconductor]

I am trying to remedy an issue that occurred suddenly today and after no major changes on the site. Quotes are completely broken. They are exposed example..

[quote=753]content here
content
[/quote]

To troubleshoot earlier I disabled all plugins aside from bbpress and the problem persisted. Has anyone else encountered this issue before?

[hotconductor]

Greetings!

I am really enjoying bbpress but have a major glitch on my install. I am receiving notifications via email, but I am not subscribed to any topics. Zero. I even installed the plugin for unsubscribing from all topics just to verify and it states ‘no topics subscribed’ so there is no option.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

[jhmattern]

I need to be able to schedule topics in advance. For example, I might come up with an idea and draft a topic at 11pm on Sunday night, and I might want it to go live at 9am on Monday morning.

That’s no problem. I just create the topic in the admin area and use WP’s built-in scheduling feature. The topic goes live on the forum at 9am the next day as expected.

The problem, though, is that the freshness in BBPress doesn’t reflect this. At 9:30am, for example, it should show a freshness of 30 min ago for that topic. But instead, it’s showing 10 hours ago — based on the time the draft was scheduled rather than the actual scheduled publication time.

This is a particular problem when I need to schedule a week’s worth of new topics at once (to keep a growing community regularly updated with new discussion points). They all show that they have similar freshness when people view the main forum or category pages, instead of showing that content is being published at regular intervals.

Is there anything I can do to fix this so BBPress reflects actual publication time (like WP does in general) instead of relying on the time the topics were physically edited?

[imemine]

I am on the latest version of WordPress, but a custom theme ( developer left it half way) so I am fixing it myself.

1) The forum page shows for post the correct numbers. Example
post tite: Voices(5), Posts (6)

but inside posts it says
This topic contains 5 replies, has 5 voices
Viewing 1 post (of 1 total)
Then it shows just the main topic, not the replies to it.

This is the code for the bbpress.php template

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="page-left" class="container">
	<?php
	the_content();
	?>
</div>

<div id="page-right">
	<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Seems fine to me, what do you think I missed?

[Robkk]

Read this, it is a common error usually not associated with bbPress, but other plugins.

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly

[strategeek]

The same happens with the profile page.
