Usually when you have BuddyPress installed the Extended Profiles component is activated by default, bbPress forum user profiles links use the BuddyPress extended profiles.

You can see if copying the BuddyPress templates into your child theme would fix things.

Hello,
someone know how to change “BBpress advanced recent topics” to go on the last page of the topic because users have to go manually to the last one when they choose a topic ? The first page of each topic is automatically displayed by the widget.

All help would be much appreciated !

Hi, I am setting up a forum for my website but stuck at user profile links. User profiles are linking to wordpress profile links like “/members/admin” instead of “/forum/users/admin”.

It can be viewed here: http://www.poemsurdu.com/forum/urdu-poetry-forum/

On this page there are two users’ activities ‘admin’ and ‘khan’ both are linking to a 404 /members/ page.
Please help me resolve this problem. I could not find any thread exactly on this problem.

Hey guys!
I’m working on forum in bbPress and got some symbols in front of debatforum. It is 5 of these symbols > in the right sidebar. I need to remove these from the code, but can’t figure out which files. Can you help me?

We just recently started using BBPress a few weeks ago, and I will admit, I am a fitness blogger, not a programmer. A lot of what I have done has been purely due to research. I can usually get over the hump, but now I am not so sure. On my site, I began a few test topics on the forum just to see how things looked with the theme that we were choosing, and so far, so good. That was until I logged in as a subscriber/participant and tried to respond to the topic that I had already started and nothing showed up. I looked everywhere for that reply, but it was nowhere to be found. Then I tried replying again. And again. And again. And still nothing. So then I logged back into my administrator account, and I noticed a notification that told me that I had ONE reply. When I click on the notification to see the reply, nothing showed up. It simply took me to the original topic which (according to the listing) only had ONE VOICE. Which was the topic itself. Forget all of the half dozen times that I tried to reply to that thing. I tried searching for a solution in this forum, and where I found some similar circumstances, nothing else panned out. So here we are. I will provide the link to the forum and topic and question and I will let you decide: Am I missing something? Am I a total idiot? Lol. Seriously. Because I am starting to think I am going insane.

Here is the link. Check it out: http://www.thefitnotes.com/forums/topic/eat-right-eat-light/

Please let me know what I should do. Thanks

Oh, sorry for the confusion, I am pretty new with bbpress 🙂

But thank you very much! I look forward to hearing more from you.

Hi all,

We’re experiencing an issue where if a user types a search term into the “search” box for our bbpress forums, they get a page displaying gibberish.

We had a similar issue with our forum breadcrumbs previously, and we successfully set up a workaround to direct users to the correct page, but I can’t figure out how to configure this for the forum search. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here is a URL that shows an example of the issue that we’re seeing:

Thanks!

Are you sure they aren’t blog comment spam?? Akismet does a good job at blog comment spam though , bbPress also has integrations with Akismet.

I created this trac ticket awhile ago because of this topic, and also I found a plugin that kind of does similar functionality.

The plugin I mentioned is quite broken and has fixes mentioned in the plugins support forum by users.

If a developer or anyone else wants to fork/fix the plugin I mentioned in this trac ticket they can go ahead. Even better if you help add this to core.

[KeithMon]

I too would like this feature. I have a curated forum with specific topics I want to allow. Participants should only be allowed to reply to existing topics. Is this not possible with bbPress?

[Robin W]

how is this bbpress related?

[Stagger Lee]

It is not problem to hardcode WP-Polls function inside specific bbPress custom template, to bypass activating shortcodes in topics and replies.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-polls/installation/

But main problem is User interaction. Shame, WP-Polls is very nice Polls plugin.
It would be needed one modal popup where User opening topic can add new poll. believe Roles and permissions are not problem to fix with plugin filters, but other doesnt exist.

It is not acceptable to send Users to separate page (backend) just to make poll for topic they opening.

Hey all,

I’m working on my first website and I have been making pretty good progress….I installed the bbPress forum plugin (latest version) and it integrated pretty easily into my theme (Sento Pro). Can somebody tell me how to turn off the page into bar on the forum? I can easily turn them off on pages by simply going to the page of interest and clicking disable page intro. There are no such options for forums….

Thanks for your help in advance….

This one is closest I could find. Still has to be guessed to hit 24-48 hours, or exact week time ban for instance. But there is no better out there.
Strange, considering WP has plenty plugins for everything.

It is permanent ban logics fault. Sometimes it is enough to cool down User by time ban of 1 day, one week or one month.

Maybe you can borrow code and make something for bbPress core.

[Robkk]

copy the bbPress templates to your child theme , it has fixed this issue for me before when using Twenty Fifteen.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Robkk]

This plugin might help.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-custom-reply-notifications/

[Robkk]

Just copy loop-forums.php from the bbPress plugin templates into a folder called bbpress in your child theme, or edit the one that is already custom from your theme to a child theeme.

Edit this and change Forum to what you want.

<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Forum', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

[Robkk]

So maybe, I should create the learning platform as I envision it and take a more relaxed stance on the fact that parts of the profile and member information are visible for guests.

Hey I mean it is your website you can do whatever you want to it. If you feel the information people are passing on your forum should be private you can make it private. The other solution that I thought of is similar to Robins code and that is to just put a conditional if the user is logged in to a bbpress.php file so it would only work on bbPress pages (and hopefully not mess with woothemes sensei). But this would require code editing/WordPress template knowledge.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

[Robkk]

It is definitely possible.

You might want to create custom templates then style it to want you want from there.

copy the loop-single-topic.php file into your child theme in a folder called bbpress. THen add the topic excerpt using bbp_topic_excerpt() and also place the post count into an icon font.

You can add topic thumbnails with a plugin I think, or just manually put that before every topic.

You can also change the heading to comments by copying/editing I think loop-topics.php into your child theme in a folder called bbpress also.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

[Robkk]

if you have the pro version they give you an editor for the bbcode/shortcode buttons.

If you are messing with the bbPress default quicktags you can change the buttons output display to bbcode/shortcodes instead of html.

If you look at this you can see that it says you can copy the Javsacript from bbPress to your custom child theme.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

So you can copy the editor.js file from bbPress and created custom buttons for your bbPress installation from there. You can see an example to change the output of the code button to just use quote marks.

/* Use backticks instead of <code> for the Code button in the editor */
	if ( typeof( edButtons ) !== 'undefined' ) {
		edButtons[110] = new QTags.TagButton( 'code', 'code', '<code>', '</code>', 'c' );
		QTags._buttonsInit();
	}

This will I think use the bold, italics , and lists format that they use in the plugin.

/* Use some bbcode outputs for the quicktags editor in bbPress */
	if ( typeof( edButtons ) !== 'undefined' ) {
		edButtons[10] = new QTags.TagButton( 'strong', 'b', '[b]', '[/b]', 'b' );
		edButtons[20] = new QTags.TagButton( 'em', 'i', '[i]', '[/i]', 'i' );
		edButtons[80] = new QTags.TagButton( 'ul', 'ul', '[ul]', '[/ul]', 'u' );
		edButtons[90] = new QTags.TagButton( 'ol', 'ol', '[ol]', '[/ol]', 'o' );
		edButtons[100] = new QTags.TagButton( 'li', 'li', '[li]', '[/li]', 'l' );
		QTags._buttonsInit();
	}

I’m looking for a way to get bbcode buttons for users. I have the gd bbpress toolbox, but I’d like to have buttons for those codes on the toolbar. Any suggestions?

[Uncle Jimmy]

Hello everyone!

I wasn’t sure where to post, or what exactly to ask..lol! Is it possible to make the changes in the image with CSS? Or does it have to be done within the php files?

I’ve looked all over the internet for specific tutorials to accomplish this and can’t find anything definitive enough.

Wordpress/Buddypress/bbPress.. That’s the combination I want to stick with but wrapping my mind around it is very difficult, even with all the great documentation! Ha!

Any suggestions are welcome and thanks. Jim :o)

[project_subdomain]

thanks, robkk, you are right.

found a solution that may be useful for some, though:
It’s these three plugins together:
Paid MembershipsPro + Paid Memberships Pro bbpress + Paid Memberships Pro: PMPro Roles
Tried, worked, but unfortunately slowed down my page already and found it to be a bit too much overload for what I need.

[project_subdomain]

ok, the code above could not work.

the remaining issue comes from a different singular/plural form of “Your” in my language.

came across this, but I’m not sure what’s been the specific purpose of that changeset:
trac 5105

[Robkk]

Hmm I probably need to contact the author about the incompatibility with the WooThemes Sensei online courses, or I will just check out what is causing the issue later.

Robins zip file does not contain a plugin, it is just custom bbPress templates with some conditional code.

You can email me about all these issues, and also since this topic is messing up too. I am going to be busy today though because of celebrating July 4th with the family though, but I will be there to help you out definitely tomorrow.
