Yes, that is what I’m trying to avoid. Tapatalk.com will do the trick, just wondering it there was something that did this.

Why ISN’T there something to do this in BBpress lol.

Is there a plugin or a method I can use to disable topic creation on a certain forum? I want to have a news forum for all my news posts and only allow comments on the topics I create, but not allow any topics to be created by anyone else. I do want users to be able to create topics in my other forums though. I noticed that turning the forum into a category kind of adds that ability, but then it removes the news forum for the forum page, which I don’t want.

I’ve been searching plugins and forums for the last couple hours without much luck. Any plugins that I’ve found that did this are way outdated and don’t seem to work correctly with new versions. I am using the newest version of wordpress and bbpress and in the middle of building a new theme from the ground up. Thanks for any advice anyone can provide.

So your importing from phpBB v1?

Indeed our importers only support phpBB 3.x for bbPress 2.5.x and phpBB v3.1 for bbPress 2.6

Did you write your own phpBB v1 importer or copy and modify the one that is included with bbPress?

There are also some fixes and improvements in our repair tools coming for bbPress 2.6 that hopefully will be released in the next couple of weeks.

I’m happy to take a look at the importer if you made one and/or some data examples, you can post code examples on GitHub here https://gist.github.com/ntwb

(If you added the raw MySQL data from a single forum, a topic of that forum, and a reply of that topic I could give you some tips on what the main issues are that your most likely having)

Hi Steven. I don’t know anything about that plugin (and still finding my feet with bbpress) but my first thought is that it might be a conflict with the ‘lead topic’ feature of bbpress which allows you to use a different theme template/styling for the first post in a topic.

Here’s some more info on that:

bbp_show_lead_topic

If this is enabled on your site I would try disabling it (removing that code from your functions.php/plugin/wherever it might be), or alternatively if it’s not enabled, try enabling it, and see if that does anything.

Also, let us know what theme you are using and does it have custom bbpress templates included in it?

Hope that helps a bit!

I have installed the bbPress plugin and have managed to get the Posts into the Topics of the forum (using bbPress Topics for Posts plugin).

[alanft]

I’d love there to be somewhere to turn comments into replies, but it ain’t in settings > discussion.

I’ve googled lots of “import/convert wordpress comments to bbpress topics/replies” and got nowhere. The stumbling block being that WP comments are in wp_comments and bbpress replies are in wp_posts.

Anyone got a good solution for this?

[Robkk]

unless there is a way to set it up so that all posts have to be moderated before they go live?

Hi, I’m a WP/bbpress newbie with some technical background who recently joined a collective blog. I am trying to work through our current list of open bugs right now.

We have an issue where when a user logs into our forums via the the “login” page/link, they are logged in but re-directed out to the site landing page, rather than the forum landing page, as expected.

Is there a setting that I can configure or a variable that I need to change the value of somewhere so that users get the expected behavior when logging in to our forums?

Thanks,
Michelle

Shmoo, thank you for help!
Please tell me whether to allow the plugin User Role Editor (for WordPress) to prescribe the role solely for integrated in WordPress Forum bbPress? (To these roles do not apply to the entire website to WordPress).

Hi,
in the website of one of my customers, bbpress works perfectly if the user is not logged in but, when I am logged as wordpress admin, the pages of the bbpress forum are not visibile and show a 500 error. The error-log file shows this error:

WordPress errore sul database Lost connection to MySQL server during query per la query SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE 1=1 AND (((wp_posts.post_title LIKE ‘%Ansia%’) OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE ‘%Ansia%’)) AND ((wp_posts.post_title LIKE ‘%intermittente%’) OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE ‘%intermittente%’))) AND (wp_posts.post_password = ”) AND (

how can I fix it?

Hi,

Is there any way to automatically prevent subscribers posting URLs/links in the bbpress forums

Thanks!
Sowmya

[Dannypid1]

I have Bbpress with buddypress. The forum groups are correct.The problem is with the subforums, to leave the group access, Forum to get away, not to see menus, or where the user is located. As to correct this?

I wish subforum structure is the same as that of the forum

Thanks

Hello all, i’m new user of bbpress plugin. So after installation and set up configuration of plugin, i get a error ERREUR: Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir faire ça ? in english it’s : ERROR : Are you sure to do that ? when i want to post Topics or Replies since my front-end whatever the user. But in my back-end it’s alright i can create topics, replies.

Please can you help me ?

I use :

I’ve been having issues with my BuddyPress/bbPress features not displaying on the site, since I customized my theme (Nictitate by Kopatheme). Today, I cannot even access the wp-admin login page or the dashboard via any page, and therefore cannot edit my site, as you must be logged in to create content. No error or 404 message comes up on the page, rather, it says “Log In” at the top of the page but has no fields to enter username and password.

Other troubleshooting threads recommend turning off certain plug-ins, but I can’t do any of these things without access to the dashboard. I fear it’s something to do with theme customization. The other BuddyPress generated pages behave the same way. They show up in the site menu, but have no content on the page other than the title. Please help!

After typing in “www.myharbors.com/wp-admin/” which is how I have always logged into the dashboard before.

Now I get this: http://www.myharbors.com/login/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myharbors.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

WordPress 4.2.2 running Make theme. bbPress Version 2.5.7
The site is in countdown mode, so there’s nothing to see there. But I created a forums page using the permalink method and it works well, except I can’t seem to get rid of the useless and annoying empty author mark. Can anyone help?

WordPress 4.2.2 Avada v3.7.4 bbpress Version 2.5.7
http://www.haltoninfo.org.uk

I would like the hover colour for all the text links to be in red.
I have added the following to the custom CSS box:
a:hover{color:red; !important;}
This does not work in my sidebar.
It works for the bbpress login widget, but not for Forum List, Recent Topics or Recent Replies widgets.
Please can you tell me what CSS code to use.

[mrose74]

I managed to fix it using the solution described in this post:

Change the default Forums page

It might be more of a workaround than anything else, but it’s transparent to our readers, so that works for me.

Thanks for following up and getting back to me!

Hello,

I want to remove thumbnail images from the topic index in bbpress forum.

Right now, if you use the tag to post a picture in a forum topic post, the image shows as a thumbnail in the topic list. I want it to not do that, and JUST show the images in the post itself.

Any ways of doing this?? I’ve looked around and tried some things other people suggested, but to no avail.

[Acerjay]

Hi – I’ve just started using bbPress and am fairly new to it. I’ve searched as best I can through this forum to find answers to my questions but to no avail.
So, I have a current site with hundreds of post and page comments which I would like to turn into a forum for ease of navigation.
I’ve installed bbPress 2.5.7 and also bbPress Topics for Posts 1.8.1 (I noticed this hasn’t been updated for a long time).
I’ve managed to get the post comments into the forum – so that’s all fine and dandy.
Now I can’t seem to get the page comments into the forum. How is this done?
Additionally – the interface is not very intuitive. If a new customer comes to the site and wants to ask a question they are greeted with “You must be logged in to reply to this topic” but there is no obvious place or link for them to “log in” so they can post a comment. Is there a work around for this so they don’t need to “log in”?

[Robkk]

It is currently on PHPbb 3.1.3.

Known issue that is being worked on.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2716

if you want you can also just patch the current phpbb importer using the most recent file @netweb posted.

[Shmoo]

Is this what you’re looking for?

I doubt someone will make a plugin like this in the near future because it’s listed as a native bbPress feature for 2.7. ( next year at bbPres dev pace )
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.7

If you’re feeling comfy editing the bbPress template files you could make something like this in a very basic setup.

1) You’d need to add a few different user_roles to WordPress and give each moderator it’s own user_role
2) Next you’d have to work with conditional PHP tags. For example: PHP -> If [ user_role = xxx AND topic is in forum ID ZZZ ] then –> show the moderation links. IF the above rule is not true –> don’t show them at all and return nothing.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

This isn’t very difficult if you have beginner PHP knowledge or let’s say you’re not afraid to touch the template files on a development install. Never do this on a Live site if you don’t know what you’re doing.

[alekseevas]

Hello!

Please suggest a plugin for bbPress, which will appoint a moderator for each sub-forums? To moderators can manage only their individual sub-forum (and other sub-forums, they might not moderate).

And which a plugin (for bbPress), will enable the board administrator to release some people from the pre-moderation and placed them in order of comments? (To be able to return this function back).

[popmythology]

Hi, guys,

Yes, I know this topic has been somewhat discussed in a few other threads and I’ve read through them all, but I’m still not really clear on what the pros/cons are for installing this plugin in one’s existing domain/website vs. in a sub-domain. One comment that made an impression on me was one person’s claim that over time it would be hard to keep the bbpress databases optimized if you install in your main domain since bbpress shares databases with wordpress. This, according to the person, would slow down the site.

Can anyone with experience or wisdom give me a definitive statement of the pros and cons of installing in one’s main site domain vs. a sub-domain so that I can stop this endless search for answers and just install this thing? 🙂 THANKS!!

[Galador]

I know there used to be a plugin for a visual editor that worked with bbpress, but I can’t seem to remember what it was called or how to set it up.

I want a plugin that has more than the very basic features of the visual bbpress has built in. Does anyone remember the name of said plugin?
