Thanks for your input. Do I find the membership plugins on the regular wordpress site or here on the bbpress site?

[coffeywebdev]

Hello Everyone!

I have my forums installed and I am happy with it. Now I would like to add a checkbox to the edit profile screen..

I know in form-user-edit.php I can find the code that displays the fields, but can someone give me some insight into how this information is processed once the form is submitted?

I know that this hidden field holds the action name:
<input type=”hidden” name=”action” id=”bbp_post_action” value=”bbp-update-user” />

but after looking at the file bbpress\includes\users\functions.php, where that action is being defined I don’t see where I could add in the extra code to process the custom field if I were to add it.

I hope I am being clear, all I want to do is add ONE checkbox to every users edit profile page(where they change password/email), and save to user_meta… I know how I can add the field to the front end, but am unsure of how the data gets processed…

Thanks,
Anthony

Is there then a way to merge users? So that if someone registered on the WordPress site and separately on the forums that afterwards they can be combined?

You can delete a user then attribute their content to another user

We have a members-only section for our forums. I understand these forums will be made public and we would need to hide them, but is there a way to set up users that have access only to certain sections while the general public has access to everything else? I don’t want to assign all of our members the ability to edit content on the site, just have access to a members only forum.

There are a couple of membership plugins that are compatible with bbPress, you could also use the bbPress private groups plugin.

Will this create two separate MySQL databases? Will the old phpBB still be there and operational? Can the two be used simultaneously and will content posted in one cross-post to the other once merged to bbpress?

Your phpbb data will be imported into the WordPress database where bbPress would usually be. Cross posting I’m not sure. You should test this out on a test site to make sure everything is working okay and to your expectations.

Thanks for that. I didn’t see that FAQ before. Here are some questions not specified here:

Hello! I recently migrated my site to a VPS. Ever since then, the “notify me of follow-up replies via email” has not been working. I downloaded a plugin to test email using PHP mail() function, and those emails do come in. However, the BBpress ones do not.

I contacted my host about this, and this is what they sent me:

“I have reviewed the server and was able to confirm that it is currently able to send email using the telnet command. Now that you are on a server all emails sent from the server must relay through our relay server which is: dedrelay.secureserver.net please ensure that your scripts and plugins that send email are configured to send through the mentioned relay server on port 25, failure to do so will result in emails not sending.”

Any help would be appreciated!

Im not sure maybe bbp_new_reply_pre_insert ?? All the hooks are listed here though.

Thanks Rob.

Hi all,

Any idea about a bbpress hook that allows to modify the topic or reply before it gets saved to database?

Thanks!

Does the bbpress notify (no spam) notifcations work??

Does default bbPress forum notifcations work without wp-smtp??

So topic subscriptions do not work if you subscribe to the topic after it has been approved??

Did topic subscriptions work before you installed bbpress moderation??

[Robkk]

Go through some troubleshooting steps.

It might be a conflicting plugin so leave bbPress and Jetpack activated.

@kenneston

do you have a custom bbPress theme??
because the forum description should show on the frontend

the topic description does not show below the topic title like the forum description should do by default.

All titles should show though.

for the forum description make sure you have

<div class="bbp-forum-content"><?php bbp_forum_content(); ?></div>

in loop-single-forum.php

[Robkk]

Try some troubleshooting steps listed here.

If they say the issue persists in a default theme , then it either is a plugin issue or just how you are trying to set up your forums.

i have the mobile theme for jetpack enabled, but it might be conflicting with bbpress. Whenever I go to the forums on my phone, it starts to load in the “mobile” version, then it goes blank and reloads in the “non mobile” version. Is there something in the coding that conflicts with jetpack? It doesn’t happen on any of my other pages or posts, just the forums. My site is goingfor2.com and the forums are are goingfor2./forums. Thank you.

This is caused because bbPress is rendering a certain template in your theme , this happens to be a template that is full width without a sidebar.

Is your theme a premium theme or a free theme??

If it is free, I can check it out and tell you what you need to do.

If it is premium , the theme authors will have to help you as I cannot just buy a theme just to test it.

see if this guide can help you though?? It tells you about modifying the main template , you can use this to put the sidebar back in.

If you have any questions about it or suggested improvements please let me know.

@manni1970

I just translated my test site into German, I don’t see an issue??

As long as you have the latest active versions files it should work.

Did you get your .po and .mo files from here??

[BBIndikator]

bbPress Moderation uses this function:
bbp_notify_topic_subscribers( $reply_id, $topic_id, $forum_id );

On this transition-hook:
add_action( ‘pending_to_publish’, array( $this, ‘pending_to_publish’ ), 10, 1 );

But it seems that it will not work properly..

[BBIndikator]

Hello there, hope you’re well..

Has anybody a working solution for the following issue?

Newest WP and bbPress, last version of bbPress Moderation.

If bbPress Moderation is active, it will deactivate users subscription to a topic, after status from a pending reply of this user is changed to publish. It deactivate both possibilities: subscription on top and it uncheck the email notification status inside the bbp-form.

I tried to deactivate all other plugins, but it will not work, too.

Is anybody out there with a tip or a working solution ?

Thank you and best regards

Hello,

I have WordPress 4.2.2 with bbPress 2.5.7, bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab 1.0.1, and bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.8.1 and WP SMTP.

Everything is working fine except for the Email Notifications from the forums. I really need to get this to work. I’ve tried various permissions changes, etc. WordPress itself works fine and when I send test emails, they come through, but I don’t get the auto-notifications.

Can anybody help???

Thanks

If I use the bbPress import tool to import the database of an existing phpBB board, will it pull over the users and their passwords or will it require new usernames and passwords for everyone who signs up? I’m concerned that old posts won’t be attributable to their original posters.

Hi
I’m creating a site which has a green/blue background and I need to change to colours of the forums as the text is white and can’t be seen.
Can anyone point me to where I need to go to change this please?

Link to my site

Thanks

BBPress Version 2.5.7

Hi Rob,

Regarding the bbpress part, I could see that the filter used bbp_get_topic_content in fact helps to modify the reply before displaying it. In fact I need to save the edited reply in the database. This is required because the making the URL no clickable is needed only for specific user roles.

So can you please let me know if we have any action or filter which acts on the reply before it gets saved to the DB and thus save the modified one in DB!

Thanks!
Sowmya

Hello!

I successfully implemented the code put up here – New Topics so as to show a new tag next to a topic in forum. But as per this link, the new tag will flash until 3 days. I would want to modify it such that the tag disappears once a user replies to the topic. Is there any function to get this functionality?

Thanks!
