Yeah I just thought those two plugins would work because you are going through a similar situation that the function usually fixes.

Do not know what to suggest next, you might have to hire a developer to create you a plugin if you want wishlist to work with bbPress.

[Robkk]

@k1092

The wishlist member plugin has known incompatibilities with bbPress

You can try these two plugins and see if it fixes the issue

Please go through some of the troubleshooting steps listed here.

Troubleshooting

and What schmoo and I were saying is that you can use both of the plugins we mentioned to extend/show the visual editor.

to display the visual editor make sure you have configured the setting in settings > forums in the WordPress back-end.

[Robkk]

@atsouf

just use autoembed links in settings > forums

when the user places the link in the reply content area that link will automatically become a video when posted.

I think if you are using the bbPress login shortcode this is the hook if you need a hook

bbp_redirect_login

Please go through some troubleshooting steps here.

THis guide will be improved in the next few days.

Also you most likely will not need to do the advanced troubleshooting.

@flyden

this just looks like a CSS issue.

I think it is just that your buttons text are white by default in your theme and it is overriding the bbPress styles.

you can try this CSS and see if it works but you would need to find the issue using some developer tools in your browser or you can create me a subscriber/participant acount to look at it.

If you want to create me an account you can send the login details to my email here.

Did you try any of the troubleshooting steps listed here

I do not think you have to do the advanced troubleshooting though.

I modified a little script I found inside a plugin named “bbp signature” https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-signature/
That plugin actually does not work with Buddypress, it is a bbpress plugin
[modified by moderator]

But the code wasn’t too terrible. even though I only kept a few line of it.

So here’s the solution;

make sure you have buddypress with xprofile enabled *(extended profiles)

1. Create a new text box field in Xprofile and name it “Signature”. *(caps is important, no quotation mark.)

Then add that code to the function.php of your child theme.

//Add Signature

function bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature( $content = '', $reply_id = 0, $args = array() ) {
	// Default arguments
	$defaults = array(
		'separator' => '<hr />',
		'before'    => '<div class="bbp-signature">',
		'after'     => '</div>'
	);
	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
	extract( $r );

	// Verify topic id, get author id, and potential signature
	$reply_id  = bbp_get_reply_id       ( $reply_id );
	$user_id   = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
	$signature = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Signature', $user_id );

	// If signature exists, adjust the content accordingly
	if ( !empty( $signature ))
		$content = $content . $separator . $before . $signature . $after;

	return apply_filters( 'bbp_reply_content_append_signature', $content, $reply_id, $separator );
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature', 1, 2 );

That’s it !

PS. If you want to enable HTML in xprofile there is a way but it’s risky.

To Whom It May Concern,

I’m trying to configure forums properly for my site and for some reason the forum samples that I created from my back end are not showing up on my http://www.myloopnetwork.com website under the “Forums” tab. So I went to check out the Error Log from my hosting plan back end and saw this message:

20150609T144202: http://www.myloopnetwork.com/index.php
WordPress database error Table ‘wordpress_iomdefe35a.wp_jgts_bb_forums’ doesn’t exist for query DESCRIBE wp_jgts_bb_forums; made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), do_action(‘template_redirect’), call_user_func_array, bp_template_redirect, do_action(‘bp_template_redirect’), call_user_func_array, bp_screens, do_action(‘bp_screens’), call_user_func_array, bp_forums_directory_forums_setup, do_action(‘bbpress_init’), call_user_func_array, bp_forums_load_bbpress

There were a lot of other errors listed on that log but I already spoke to a representative of my hosting plan service and he said that he doesn’t see any other errors on that log from his end, except this one and another error (which I’m currently trying to resolve with the BuddyPress plug in moderators). So is there a reason why the above message is showing up? Please let me know what necessary steps I must take to get this resolved.

I’m currently testing everything out on the latest version of the Twenty Fifteen theme (ideally, I want to use this Magnus WordPress Theme [1.6 Version] for my site), I only have the BuddyPress plug in (now running a 2.3.1 version), the bbPress plug in (now running a 2.5.7 version) and a W3 Total Cache plug in (running a 0.9.4.1 version) currently activated. My hosting provider is with iPage, which is running a 5.0 PHP version and is running NGINX for their server. I hope all this info will be helpful in figuring out what’s going on. Any feedback or any other suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.

@mmice

you should have posted that on gist.github.com or at least pastebin so that users do not have to scroll through all that.

As for importing have you tried a creating a custom import using the example one in the bbPress plugin
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/

And for Karma system you might have to look into a WordPress plugin like MyCred.

And for importing private messages , I am not sure how that is going to work, but there is a lot of Private messaging plugins for WordPress like BuddyPress.

[billreefer]

Thanks Robkk, I will try to find the instruction but it was about setting up a forums page so their could be a link to it in the nav menu

It would be a blank page with just the shortcake for list forums.

So is it possible using /forums/ conflicts with root or something already being used by bbpress?

[Robkk]

I do not see the issue on your site currently.

I do see these weird avatar image placement though.

Add this CSS to fix that issue.

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar {
  display: inline !important;
}

[Robkk]

like this page??

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/naoyoshi/replies/

It should only show your replies.

[Robkk]

created per startup instruction.

Where did you get the information from??

As for your theme , if you are using Genesis you can install a plugin to help.

But some other themes you have to create a template for bbPress

follow this guide

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

[Robkk]

once i went into bbpress settings and set a register page and activation page.

This sounds like you went to BuddyPress’s settings, you can use BuddyPress’s register form.

For a login page you can place the bbPress login shortcode in a page and it should work.

For a lost password page I guess you can use the lost password shortcode but I do not know if it works correctly or not, or it just redirects to the WordPress lost password form.

[Robkk]

You can also use this plugin too, but works best without BuddyPress installed.

Running bbpress 2.5.7 and buddypress 2.3.1 and a couple of extensions wordpress version 4.2.2- the issue I am seeing is that posts from other groups (all of which are set to be private) are now showing in each others posts.

Site is developer-ims.alcatel-lucent.com (I’ll need to pm with account)

I cant figure out why / what more to check / how to repair (tried all the tools)

[grayson_marik]

Hi there,

on my page i use the wordPress function to do some automatted posts. however, they do not show up. Only after doing the repair tools they are available.

This is how i do it :

`
$post = array(
‘post_title’ => $topic,
‘post_content’ => $message2,
‘post_type’ => ‘topic’,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘post_author’ => $authorId,
‘comment_status’=>’closed’,
‘post_parent’ => $parentID,
);

$topicid = wp_insert_post( $post, $wp_error );
`

The post_meta is not set properly. So what do i have to do to make it work?

[flippyr]

Hi Guys/Gals

I am looking to only display pages if users are logged into BBPress. I am aware that i can set the visibility of a page to be password protected however this is an additional step that could be avoided.

I have noticed there is a function bb_is_user_logged_in() that i could utilise however i dont know where i should add the code and indeed if it needs to go in the theme or child theme.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks and have a nice day

[flippyr]

Thanks for the reply Robin,

I have sorted this now. basically i was using the shortcode and couldnt see the password field however once i went into bbpress settings and set a register page and activation page. BBpress then generated the needed components and the registration page.

[Robin W]

(I have crossposted this to the Private groups plugin support board. I hope there are no issues with that.)

no problem, you get me either way !

This could be coded, but it is quite complex to do.

In essence you would need to change the can_view function in private groups to have a view or change capability.

The issue is that I am fully tied up at the moment in other paid work, so you would need to put this to someone who would need to learn how bbpress/private groups works.

I suggest you try

I hope you find someone.

I have one question.
In the page “Forum Replies Created”, can I show my replies data only?
If I can, which php file is, and how do I change code?
Or if I need to apply certain WordPress plugin, what is it?

The page “Forum Replies Created” shows all replies data which contains my relied data.
I’d like not to show other user’s replies data.

[aventurine_geode]

WordPress version: 4.2.2
bbpress version: 2.5.7

Hey all,

I’m wanting to achieve something fairly complex with bbpress, and I’m hoping you all can help me.

Right now my setup looks like this:

Two main forums, Forum A and Forum B. Forum B contains subforums X, Y and Z.

I want all of the users of my site to be able to view and fully participate in Forum A. That’s fine.

However, I want all of the users of my site to be able to fully view Forum B, but for only users with specific permissions to be able to post there.

For example, a user from User Group X will be able to view topics and threads in subforums X, Y and Z, but can only post in subforum X. A user from User Group Y can see subforums X, Y and Z but can only post to User Group Y, and so on.

Right now I’ve achieved part of what I need with Robin Wilson’s “Private groups” bbpress. Unfortunately, with this plugin, users who don’t have permission to access a forum can’t view it – the plugin pushes them to a 404 page or a redirect substitute. I want users to still be able to fully view the forums, just not to be able to post without permission.

Does anyone have any advice as to how to implement something like this?

(I have crossposted this to the Private groups plugin support board. I hope there are no issues with that.)

[kleypie]

Hello. I just recently installed a bbpress forum and I cant figure out why on my topic index, it says “started by” then a line break and user avatar, another line break, and then username.

Forum

Also I would love to have my topics look more like this if possible. I know it would take some PHP work. Does anybody know how to accomplish this without a whole new theme?
