alright just remember to keep it on the yoothemes support forum on topics where there are users having similar issues like you with theme compatibility with bbPress.

allows only admins and moderators to use shortcodes

@palmdoc

in that specific plugin it imports forums one at a time.

the settings are in whatever forum you are trying to export/import

i think how you would do it is setup your forums again on your new site

then export each forum one at a time from your old site

then import your old forum data to the new forums , one at a time.

i tried the plugin and it seems to not work 100% as i was missing some topics during the import.

im not 100% sure though , but i think you could just export/import your bbPress installation using

the default WordPress export tool , and the WordPress importer plugin.

Hi Jason. I checked them all, still can’t see an option for bbPress forum import/export.

Hi!

i set up a gallery in media uploader, inserted it in a topic i have in bbpres forum…

the gallery not work, instead of show the thumbnail and the image, show the gallery code:

[gallery link="file" ids="535,536,537,538,539,540,541,542,543,544,545,546,547,548,549,550,551,552,553,554,555,556,557,558,559,560,561,562,563,564,565,566,567,568,569,570,571"]

the same code in article, pages etc, work just fine and visualize the gallery, only in bbpress pages seems to not work.

wordpress last version, bbpress last version.

In the php-template displaying the forums, I want to check if the current forum/topic/… displayed is below a certain bbpress subforum/category.

The purpose of this is to show different wordpress menus depending on if the user is looking at the english part or the german part of the forums.

My question is: Is there a php-code to handle this?

Like:

if (we are under the german category) display german menu; 
else display english menu;

Thanks! 🙂

I installed bbPress Import Export
https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import
but for the life of me I can’t see where to run this in the Dashboard!

For anyone using the Warp framework from yootheme I found the resolution to compatibility issue that I was having:

Copy all the files from the plugin core across to the theme folder as if you want to override every single one of them. The locations are explained here: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

That’s it – now bbPress works seamlessly with my warp7 based WordPress site!

[Chad R. Schulz]

I actually found the info/code I needed elsewhere:
add_filter('bbp_admin_replies_column_headers' , 'custom function'); and
add_action( 'bbp_admin_replies_column_data' , 'custom function', 10, 2 );

Odd that this particular custom post type must go against the grain and use a non-standard naming scheme for the admin columns. I guess that’s just the bbpress way;)

Thanks for a great forum plugin and being a great community.

Hi there! I am completely new to bbPress and forums. Assume I know nothing.

What I would like to do is set up individual, forums between myself and a client. Let’s say I have 7 clients: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. I’d like to create a forum between myself and client A, that clients B-G can’t see. And a separate forum between myself and client B, that client A and clients C-G can’t see. And so on. (And I’d like to have a main forum that all clients A-G can see, but I figure that’s much easier.)

How would I go about setting up a forum for each individual client, that no one else can see? Are there plugins I would need? Code to hack?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Something related to this that I wanted to do, ad because I finally found the answer I want to put it here for others to maybe find…

To remove the url link fro all author instances in bbPress but leave the author names intact you can put this in the child theme’s functions.php:

/* Remove link urls from forum author instances...
*/
add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_link', 'remove_author_links', 10, 2);
function remove_author_links($author_link, $args) {
$author_link = preg_replace(array('{<a[^>]*>}','{}'), array(" "), $author_link);
return $author_link;
}

It was found here: http://www.digitspeak.com/web/wordpress/remove-bbpress-forum-profile-url-link/#comment-440

In case someone else comes this way with a similar issue, as I did, I want to add to this thread… I used the “Tools” -> “Forums” -> “Remap existing users to default forum roles” for a different issue as recommended by a moderator elsewhere in this forum…

What that did was take away the Keymaster role from the primary Admin user, I.E., me… The Administrator role that is set up on the original install in other words… This also removed all trace of bbPress from the Dashboard… I did all the usual, caches, de/reactivate, check some possible plugin conflicts, different browsers, etc… I even changed the version number of bbBress in my contents>Plugins folder so I force a reinstall… Nothing fixed it…

What I was finally able to do, because I luckily had a different Admin set up for someone else, was log out and in via that admin user, and add the keymaster role back to my main admin account…

I would not recommend the use of that option, and I find myself more that a little wary of all the form tool options now…

Kind regards…

Any idea if some bbpress developer can help here?

[Robkk]

there is a bug reported for BuddyPress Groups here that is being looked onto.

you can see the trac ticket here

@Fred_L I’m sorry but I prefer to not share the URL of the converted forum. I just can say that I converted a Joomla site with +6000 users (Community Builder), +15000 forum posts (kunena) and +3000 articles (joomla) to WordPress successfully using BuddyPress and bbPress. It was not a single click operation, specially importing users and profile data and keeping posts and articles assigned to its original author. Another important thing is that all passwords will be reseted, there is no way to keep passwords unchanged during the migration, so users must be noticed about that.

As if bbPress is a good final forum platform, you have the best example here in bbpress.org forums. In my experiencie, Joomla + kunena + CommunityBuilder require a lot of less resources that WordPress + BuddyPress + bbPress, but there are also a lot of advantages; also disadvantages; in general I’m happy with the migration but you will need to decide yourself considering your specific needs and context.

@darkoned12000

i think this CSS should fix your issue.

there might be more areas for this to be added like on profile topics started and such , so i recommend looking through your style.css file and find lines similar to these and fix them so they dont affect bbPress as harshly.

contact your theme author about help with this if you want.

follow these two guides to make your theme fully compatible with bbPress.

you can try these

bbpress wp4 fix

bbpress wp4 fix2

and also go through your plugins and current theme and see if their are any conflicts

bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/

[Robkk]

@iprg

alright well do you have any plugins that affect the editor like WP Edit or something similar??

and if you havent already go through the basic troubleshooting for general issues in this topic.

Before Posting

[majecdad]

Hey @robkk all of the BP Groups are set to Private, and each Private BP Group has the Group Forum set as the corresponding Main bbpress Forum page (which is set as Forum/Closed/Private) and the subforums (which are set as Forum/Open/Private).

I’ll check in over there too, but the issue seems related to the ability to see forums, not so much the Groups.

Thx.

[Robkk]

also do this since it helps some users.

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

[Robkk]

Mybe it is coded so closed topics are excluded from topic query?

i just closed a topic in an empty forum , i didn’t see anything like this.

Are you seeing anything that should be in a blog post in your bbPress forums.

You did do all of the general issues troubleshooting steps?? like switch to a default theme and deactivate all your plugins except bbPress to find something conflicting??

[Robkk]

what version of WordPress and bbPress are you using??

[Robkk]

You can follow the last entry i added to the very bottom.

it should help with most of the topic icons.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

i will put how to use CSS at the bottom later.

but the category/forum icons you might need a custom way to list the forums , im going to need more time on that.

your CSS is wrong too .

you can use these as examples

.bbpress a.forum-title:before {
  font: normal 16px/1 'Fontawesome';
  content: '\f07c';
  margin-right: 5px;
  float: left;
  padding-top: 3px;
  color: #222;
}

.bbpress a.forum-link:before {
  font: normal 16px/1 'Fontawesome';
  content: '\f016';
  margin-right: 5px;
  float: left;
  padding-top: 3px;
  color: #222;
}

I am using most current WP with a theme called news code. I have installed bbpress and after a brief search I found creating a bbpress.php file in my child themes directory might work. It has not and I am able to post new topics to the forum, however I cannot view any of the topics as shown in the image.

If anyone can lead me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks!
