so for your first, try this

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'rew_amend_forums' , 10 , 3) ;

function rew_amend_forums ($title, $original_title, $prefix ) {
	if ($title == 'Forums') $title = 'Private Forums' ;
return $title ;
}

for your second, this is really one for Astra – I could spend many hours looking for an answer is their code.

but based on your previous post you could try

#bbpress-forums {width:100%;}

I have made some progress (sort of) I purchased Miresa – WordPress Rich Text Editor plugin for BuddyPress and disabled bbPress. Unfortunately the Miresa Editor is not working properly but may only require some custom CSS to fix it. I have contacted the author egemenerd. We will see what transpires.

Plugin GD bbPress Attachments, suggested by some for attaching files to BuddyPress forums doesn’t work for me. I cant access the settings. It gives me an error message

Hi Robin
creation/deletion/edit is reflected in BuddyPress if I post something in the bbPress forum directly but it does not work the other way around.
I added a plug in called BuddyPress Forum Editor which gave me WSIWYG editing on the bbPress forum but nothing on BuddyPress. BuddyPress is just enter/delete nothing else. bbPress has a title field, topic tags, topic type, topic status, notify by email box (important) and Attachment facility (important)

See screen images

I have posted this request for help in the BuddyPress support page but no response as yet.

Perhaps there is a plug in for BuddyPress that provides these things to the default BuddyPress forum but I haven’t been able to find one as yet.

[Robin W]

Tim,

I freely confess that I have had little to do with buddypress as I have never had the need of it.

But my understanding is that buddypress simply uses bbpress, so creation/deletion/edit in the buddypress area will also change if you access the forum directly. If you are not seeing this, then I might suspect caching software not updating.

so when you say

BuddyPress has its own forum which is bland and limited and bbPress is the “nice” functional forum

I’m not sure what you are seeing in one that is not in the other – can you give an example to help.

I haven;t checked, but have you also posted this in the buddypress support page ?

Hi – I’m trying to change the title of my forum index page. I tried item 3 method 2 at:

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

— saving my index page as /members (not /forums) as per WP settings, and then tried to give members page in wordpress the title “Private Forums” (instead of title Members). It displays as “Private Forums” (not “Members”) in the breadcrumb. But still on main index page, it displays only the title “Forums.”

I’m using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] on /members page as I have text above and below it.

What can I add to functions.php that will force that index page to display the title “Private Forums”?

Thank you!

[Tim Wilson]

I have set up a new WordPress blogging website with a BuddyPress members only community back end consisting of 10 groups.

Each group has it own separate bbPress forum. This all works OK except BuddyPress has its own forum which is bland and limited and bbPress is the “nice” functional forum which I want to use. Both these forums appear to be linked i.e a post to the bpPress forum also appears in the BuddyPress forum space although it seems that either can be independently deleted.

As it stands I find having the the two forums confusing and messy from a user perspective.

What I want to do is replace the BuddyPress forum with the bpPress forum so that you only see the bpPress forum on the home page of each group and do away with the group Forum tab which currently links to the bbPress forum. I don’t really need each group to do anything else rather than host the bpPress forum. Perhaps a single message on the group home page that a group moderator could change/edit would be a nice addition but it is not essential.

I have done a lot of Googling and while this problem has been mentioned a few times the solutions suggested seem very old and/or irrelevant.

I am comfortable with PHP etc but have very limited experience with BuddyPress and bpPress. Of course there may be a plugin which will do all this but I haven’t found one yet.

I am using WordPress 6.1.1. Buddy Press 11.1.0 bb_press 2.6.9, Theme Blocksy. The url of the website is https://PinkPantherActivists.au

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

Thank you.

[Mike Witt]

Holy cow, I can’t believe I didn’t think of that!

Yes, you’re right. When I post anything as a regular user I get the notice. And changing that line in bbpress/includes/common/functions.php does appear to make it go away. I commented on the ticket just to say that I tried it.

Thanks!

[Robin W]

waiting for an email from someone else, so playing with this – this should work

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
	background-color: blue;
}
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
	background-color: green;
}

if you put this in

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>custom css

then it will exceute at the right point

let me know if it doesn’t work

[Mike Witt]

That’s what I was planning to do, but I can’t replicate the problem. When I just make a couple of posts and replies, I don’t get the php notice. That’s why I was thinking maybe it wasn’t bbPress. There must be something special I need to do, to invoke the “blacklist” thing? It happens every once in a while. But I can’t find an action that causes it to happen. I gather that you don’t see it happening, right?

[10-Mar-2023 04:55:26 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Function get_option was called with an argument that is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 5.5.0! The "blacklist_keys" option key has been renamed to "disallowed_keys". in .../public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5667

[Tim Wilson]

I am using WordPress Version 6.1.1 and bbPress 2.6.9
I have tested with all plugins except bbPress deactivated and test themes such as Twenty Twelve and Twenty Seventeen.
with admin account under Dashboard >> Settings there is no forum option.

I acknowledge that bbPress has not been tested with this version of WordPress but rolling back to an earlier version of WordPress doesn’t seem like a smart idea from a security point of view.

[Robin W]

I was sure it had a ticket, but can’t find, so I’ve created a new one.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3538

Given that you are seeing this, can you change the wording in the bbpress file and see if the error goes away – it should cause no issues, it would just get overwritten by an update. Given that a new version is unlikely to be released anytime soon, it should stop them appearing for you, and would confirm that this is the fix.

Hi I have created a forum with bbpress, however i am having problems creating the pages in order for it to be visible. What plugin should i be using for pages. Currently have Yoast SEO but this looks different to the videos that i am following on youtube. Thanks

[ljmac]

So no one can help me with this? I know that the Jetpack mobile theme restricts the blog posts to 5 per page (even though it is set to 10 in the WordPress settings, which is what I want for my desktop theme), so I assume there must be some kind of hook I can use to do the same with bbPress posts.

[Robin W]

yes, it is bbpress and is a check when a topic/reply is made or edited.

and no there is no easy way to avoid this, it really needs changing in the core bbpress product as you say to disallowed.

There is a way to skip this check, and there are hooks that could be used to re-apply it, but it is a ton of work to do, and beyond free help.

Unless it is really really bugging you, I think we just need to live with it.

[Mike Witt]

For what it’s worth, I can’t find a way to make the PHP Deprecated notices happen by doing any bbPress function I can think of. (What I can think of it is just to make posts and replies 🙂 ) If the notices are coming from bbPress (and maybe they’re not) I don’t know what sort of action might trigger them.

Hi,

A MySQL syntax error has started cropping up recently, even though I have made no changes that might be related to this (same MySQL version, same PHP version, same bbPress version, same WordPress version). Can anyone enlighten me on what might be causing this?

Once again, this only started happening recently despite the lack of any significant related changes – I have been doing forum repairs for years without any errors.

Hi,

I have the replies per page in bbPress set to 10, which is what I want for my desktop theme. However, I want to reduce this to 5 for my mobile theme. How can I go about doing this?

[Robin W]

This while old still works

AsynCRONous bbPress Subscriptions

[albertmart]

hi guys. i want to know how I can send emails with a delay or stop bbpress sending emails simultaneously.

[Robin W]

bbpress is very stable, and the authors tend to release updates at very infrequent intervals.

It works fine with current versions of WordPress.

you may like to add this plugin as well

bbp style pack

which has lots of additional features to enhance the look and feel of bbpress.

I have an error message that I cannot remove.

Upload Errors:
ImageName.jpg: File exceeds allowed file size.

How do I get rid of the error message?

[sirhc]

This seems weird, I am new to wordpress, bbPress is always referred to best forum plugin but the lack of recent updates ring alarm bells or am I wrong here?

[nobody]

i use this code for differentiate lead topic :

function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
$show_lead[] = ‘true’;
return $show_lead;
}

add_filter(‘bbp_show_lead_topic’, ‘custom_bbp_show_lead_topic’ );

now I want to display @mentionname too on lead topic, basically it’s like bbpress forum, however I can’t do it, anyone can help ?

[zandros3]

Hello again, the issue seems to be resolved.
I tried de activating the plugins but it didn’t work.
I erased the website and did a clean WordPress installation.
Then I re-installed the AR Member Plugin and bbPress.
The Forum page now works as it is supposed to.

Thank you all for the support.
