This sounds like something to look at in your theme. I’m not sure bbpress has thumbnails/featured images on topics by default?

Ask your theme author or let us know what theme you are using and hopefully we can find out more.

[PinkishHue]

This plugin is great (from what I’ve seen so far while testing)

Thanks for posting the link.

I hope this sort of feature can become part of the core bbpress plugin in future.

[PinkishHue]

Cool, I didn’t know that.

@shanesams There probably is a way to code this. I’m succesfully using the Ajax replies plugin mentioned here:

Has anyone used the bbpress ajax replies plugin??

So perhaps that could be customised to work with an activity style layout? Just needs someone with some bbpress smarts to take a look at it 🙂

[PinkishHue]

It does seem tricky to set this sort of thing up (hopefully to be improved in future versions of bbpress?).

One way to do this, although not the most robust option, would be to simply hide the new topic form for everyone but keymasters/admins when viewing that particular forum.

I will assume you are accessing your new topic form when viewing the individual forum (it’s trickier if you are using the new topic form where you choose which forum to post to instead of/as well as individual forms in each section. This is what’s used here on the bbpress.org forums for example. If you need a solution for this as well let us know, I’m sure someone can explain how to do that)

This is just off the top of my head and not tested (hopefully someone more experienced will be able to advise better) – in wp-content/your-theme/bbpress/form-topic.php (create this file if it’s not already in your theme, copy the original from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

At the top of the file, after this code:

<?php

/**
 * New/Edit Topic
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

?>

Add this code to check if you are in your news forum (here I’ve used forum id ‘5’ as an example, you’ll have to find the specific id for your forum) and if the user is an admin (there may be a better to do this using the keymaster role instead of the usual WP role but I don’t know about that):

<?php if ( bbp_is_single_forum( '5' ) && current_user_can( 'manage_options' )) : ?>

Then at the very end of the file close the if statement by adding this:

<?php endif; ?>

That should work as far as I know but I am still finding my way with bbpress so can’t say for definite. Good luck!

I have tried to use the bbpress reparation tools (tools-forum) and the issue has solved and disappeared

[vale12]

Hello,

My search function didn’t work for a good while (a search was redirecting to the homepage), and I realized today that it was an issue with buddypress or plugins I used with buddypress.
Now that I disabled Buddypress, I can now search the forum again but unfortunately, the search results are protected by a password.
I use s2member to protect one of my forum, so it is only accessible to subscribers, but all the other forums are opened. I tried to lift the s2member block of the subscribers forum but still the same thing happens anyway.
I also tested the issue with twenty fifteen and the same thing happened.

I am using bbpress Version 2.5.7, WordPress Version 4.2.2
Site is http://www.tourdecartes.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
Emmanuel

[shanesams]

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.

[Chezzer]

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)

[PinkishHue]

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!

@alanft

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

[alekseevas]

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).

[vale12]

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:

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

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
