Another suggestion to try – check out CSV importer plugins, you *should* be able to create a simple spreadsheet with all the fields you need (taxonomies, parent posts etc), save as CSV and import.

(If all works as it should! Certainly works with posts/pages etc so should work with bbpress forums/categories etc)

I found following fix:

Conflict with qTranslate

download and installed the plugin and now it’s working 🙂

[Robkk]

Okay glad you found the plugin that was causing the issue. I will try to make a list of plugins that cause issues with bbPress in the near future.

Now I guess you might have to find an alternative to that plugin.

[you4eea]

I don’t think you have to go through that trouble, it would be way easier if bbPress has its own tables but it doesn’t, the posts are in wp_posts and post meta in wp_postmeta.
Exactly what I was thinking.

Thanks, I will give it a go and let you know…

[K.Rens]

Ok, I found the culprit:
qTranslate Plus

As soon as I activate that plugin, bbpress is gone.

Looks like an old known issue:

All of what is listed is here, only the German language you are using is the 100% finished translation.

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable

Shouldn’t it be Dein Profil for a straight translation of Your Profile which is what bbPress has for profiles??

For custom plugin translations I have to look into it, there use to be a way to have custom plugin translations.

This old code is what I think you could use and test. Edit the existing German language files with something like Poedit. Save them. And Place them in a child theme for example, and put the url in the code below.

function load_bbpress_tr_mofile( $mofile, $domain )
{
    if ( 'bbpress' == $domain )
    {
        // replace this. :)
        return 'FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE';
    }
    return $mofile;
}
add_filter( 'load_textdomain_mofile', 'load_bbpress_tr_mofile', 10, 2 );

Good evening, I added a field on the WP profile and wanted to bbpress posted on the profile.
How do we do?
I tried your plugin bbp profile information so I have almost everything I want but not totally.

What added to the Profile page of WP fields (Role on the site, website, additional fields (with add function), etc.).

For the formatting, changing the file should be simple but I do not know what code used to do.

Same, how added some fields in the WP topics (subject / response).

What bothers me in the plugin’s name display / First name / email automatically. Why not have checkboxes on what the user wants to view. But before the administrator can block fields.

Given that I want to add a facebook fields and if it is not empty and the link, I want to display on the profile and the topic / response mode with an image.

For additional fields, four are enough for me, but how to add it to the wp-admin?

On my site, wp-admin is accessible for admins and the member / user by everyone.

If you do not understand me, I will try to make screenshots to make it more understandable.
Sincerely Nicolas.

Okay well there might be a way to bulk create bbPress posts, there are already a bunch of WordPress plugins that do this for blog posts. I will test to see if I can find one that works with custom taxonomies and custom post types.

I don’t think you have to go through that trouble, it would be way easier if bbPress has its own tables but it doesn’t, the posts are in wp_posts and post meta in wp_postmeta.

Stored Database Data

[cocolabombe0]

Hello, I tried to change the links in the admin bar to display the profile and the change in bbpress mode.
I saw that there was the option (Edit Profile link). I did not see at first.
But I have a problem. When I click on the name (nickname or surname first name as I Poster) I want ca redirected to root / member / user instead of root / member / user / edit.
To change the profile, I agree that this is only one must have the root link / member / user / edit.
How to do?
Sincerely Nicolas.

I’m with you… it is too many, and most of them probably wont be used, but that is what the client wants.

Question, I was thinking maybe to export just the bbpress tables and add them manually, structure/categories and forums, using a text editor (sublime is what I use) and then re-import them into the database..

The problem I’m having is that I have not found a way to just export the bbpress tables..
When looking at my wp_database to find the bbpress entries they are seriously integrated with wp tables.. If that makes sense..

[davidnsfw]

Thanks, actually I just copied the old bbpress.php from the old version of the theme.

[Robkk]

It could always be another plugin.

Leave bbPress and Ithemes Security as the only active plugins to see if the issues persists. If the issues doesn’t show anymore, reactivate your plugins one at a time to see what could be causing the issue.

[Robkk]

Yeah bbPress Moderation is what you are looking for although it seems to be unmaintained. Only thing I can say about this is to make sure you have the plugin set up properly, to make sure it works well.

There is a bbPress role of Spectator which the user cannot post and only view forums. You can later switch them to Participant later in the Users section in the WordPress backend.

I need to add a button to bbPress instance of the teeny MCE.

I’ve used the following code to test how my mce plugin work:

// add new buttons
add_filter('mce_buttons', 'myplugin_register_buttons');

function myplugin_register_buttons($buttons) {
   array_push($buttons, 'separator', 'myplugin');
   return $buttons;
}
 
// Load the TinyMCE plugin : editor_plugin.js (wp2.5)
add_filter('mce_external_plugins', 'myplugin_register_tinymce_javascript');

function myplugin_register_tinymce_javascript($plugin_array) {
   $plugin_array['myplugin'] = plugins_url('/js/tinymce-plugin.js',__FILE__);
   return $plugin_array;
}

This works like it should on the admin side.

I can’t wrap my head around how to get the same principle to work for bbPress instance of teeny mce. Which filter/action do I need to use and where? I’ve tried using the teeny_mce_buttons filter without any luck.

Step by step might be this

• Install What the File.
• Go to your bbPress page with the sidebar, and with what the file activated you look in your WOrdPress toolbar and see what bbPress template file it is.
• Then find the file in your theme, copy it and rename it to `bbpress.php’ and remove any unwanted code such as the sidebar code.</li>
  </ul>

  Usually in a theme the sidebar code is similar to this, so remove this to remove the sidebar.

  <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

[Robkk]

You copy the loop-single-reply.php file in your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

when you look at the code of theme template in your code editor, you will see an tag called

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

This peice of code has attributes to display your avatar and user role. You can place similar code around each other to reorder it to the layout you want.

For more information about cusotmizing the reply author link see here.

bbp_reply_author_link

Also I think you can reorder the reply content to show up first with CSS and just switch it around in the template file.

[Robkk]

Since you found out it is your theme, you may need to contact your theme author especially if you are using a paid theme. There might be conflicting code in the theme.

If bbPress worked out of the box before, but doesn’t anymore.

Did you add custom bbPress templates??
Did you add any code to your functions.php file in a child theme??

[Robkk]

try some Plugin/Theme troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

You can try increasing memory and see if that works, but only try it after you seen it is not another plugin or your current theme causing the issue and you have also tried some of the additional solutions listed.

Funny thing is that bbPress has listed at least 6 German languages, maybe the one you would want needs to be the German → German (Formal)??

German
Swiss German
German (Switzerland)
German → German (Formal)
Swiss German → Swiss German (Formal)
German (Switzerland) → German (Switzerland) Informal

Hi,

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[HonestPrep]

WP version: 4.2.2
bbPress version: 2.5.8

Our forums have not been displaying topics or posts for a while. Theoretically, they are viewable to the public, and the number of posts and topics is displayed. Registered users can even add comments, but they will also not be displayed.

We have checked with Twenty Twelve and Fifteen, and the problem disappears and the threads appear as normal.

Here is a link to a forum with threads.

General LSAT Discussion

Hi

I’m very new to WordPress, bbpress and php. I am currently working on a project and am finding it very difficult to find which file I need to change. I would like to re-arrange the order that author details are displayed in replies but cannot find where this is.

I would like the text to appear first and the avatar after and maybe remove the name and role.

I am using wordpress-4.2.2 and bbpress.2.5.7

Any help appreciated
