WP MultiSite v4.2.1, bbPress v2.5.7

Is there a way to restrict login and comments to the bbPress forum?
I do not want comments on my blog posts and pages. Is my only option to go back through each post and in future posts choose the “No Comment” box?

Thank you

HI

My embryonic site is at http://www.morebusinessnetwork.co.uk/forums/forum/general-discussion/

I have 3.9.3 (and I can’t easily update at the moment) and have just downloaded bbPress

I have created two forums that have no parents – ‘re-engage with out speaker’ and ‘more business network’

On settings I have forum root = forums and forum index as what should show.

There are two or three posts in each forum

At the moment the landing page is showing ‘oh bother there are no topics in this forum’- which isn’t a lot of help.

I’d like it to show a list of the forums, and a list of the topics in that forum (say the last 5 etc)

How would I set that up please – happy to provide anymore info.

Many thanks in advance

Edward

Hope this is the correct forum to post this request. We are considering a major platform change for our website, TheWorshipCommunity.Com (http://www.theworshipcommunity.com) – I’ll refer to it as TWC in this post.

TWC is built on two platforms:
The blog/articles are based on WordPress.
The forum is based on vBulletin, which is out of date, and needs major overhaul.

I’m strongly considering BuddyPress and bbPress. bbPress is a no-brainer because we HAVE to keep the forums. That’s where the bulk of our community exists.

So, my question is should we also use BuddyPress? I get a little confused on the difference between “Groups” in Buddypress and the forums … and “Group” forums.

I know that the vBulletin importer works because we’ve already tried it. I guess my big question is when you use BuddyPress and bbPress together … are the user accounts shared? Meaning … once we import all of our thousands of users from vBulletin, is there user accounts now created for both bbPress and Buddypress .. or is it still treated like two separate accounts?

I would be beyond grateful if someone who is experienced in both could look at our site and give some honest evaluation on if this combination would be right for our community.

Thanks!

Hi

I’ve recently installed bbPress. It works fine but it’s had an unwanted side-effect on the Category pages on the rest of my site. I’d set these to show short excerpts only, but after installing bbPress they now show full posts, which I really don’t want. Is there a way I can tweak bbPress to stop this effect. Can anyone help, please?

Best, Kit

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). But I can’t seem to bring across the comments to be replies from the topics? It seems to just remove the comments and not show anything, and in the admin side of things, comments become -1 where there was usually 34 which is strange cause they are still there… Deactivating the Topics for posts plugin seems to bring back the comments however. Any ideas? or does anyone know what the best way would be to Bring an already made wordpress blog into a forum style (along with comments)?

Thanks.

Hello,

I have trouble finding a solution for this problem. I am using bbPress with the Private groups plugin. All forums are private, with specific groups assigned to them. The content of the forums/topics/replies is sensitive and should be completely hidden from non-registered users.
However, topics and forums are still searchable through Google (I have managed to hide user info) and if a logged-in user logs out, he/she can now see topic titles of all forums. Example: http://superpsiholog.si/topics/

Is there a way to hide this information as well? I want non-registered users to see absolutely nothing about the forum and if possible to also prevent any information to show on search engines.

Thank you in advance,
Katarina

How do I change the text from “This forum contains xxx topics…etc”? I can’t seem to locate it.

Thank you.

I have had problems with yootheme on a project but have overcome them by simply ‘overriding’ ALL of the plugin files by copying them into the theme directory – not the directory for the ‘style’ as the warp framework calls it but the theme root directory. It seems you have to provide an override for every file to get all the different views working.

Just follow the process laid out in the codex:

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

And remember to override ALL the files!

[Robkk]

its not just for Admins , it could be useful to moderators in bbPress’s case , and also be handy for participant users if you have BuddyPress installed.

you can install this plugin to remove access for certain user roles.

WP MultiSite v4.2.1, bbPress v2.5.7, Plugin: Social Login

On this site, bbPress.org, and my own bbPress (sub)site, I notice that there is a menu item for Dashboard as a non-admin user. When I logged in as a non-admin user on my own site, I had access to my dashboard. And I was registered as a user for the entire MultiSite network. When I was in Documentation on this site, bbPress.org, I saw a submenu item for Dashboard. Dashboard is not a menu item when in the bbPress.org Support Forums – just ‘Create a New Topic’ is in the submenu.

I don’t like that. I don’t understand it. I only want forum users, nothing more.

I thought it was something I did until I saw the same thing on this site.

Please advise.
Thank you

[Robkk]

you insert this into a child themes function.php file or a functionality plugin

function rk_show_role_classes($classes) {
    $replyid = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
    $bbp_get_role = bbp_get_user_display_role($replyid);
    $bbp_display_role = strtolower($bbp_get_role);
	  
  
	$classes[] = $bbp_display_role;
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','rk_show_role_classes' );

this custom css you can put in your child themes style.css file or a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .keymaster div.bbp-topic-content, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .keymaster div.bbp-reply-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .moderator div.bbp-topic-content, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .moderator div.bbp-reply-content {
background: #f8f8f8 url(images/team-member.png) top right no-repeat;
}

now for this to work exactly like the other site , you can download this image from here, by right clicking save image as, then uploading the image to your child theme in a folder called images. Make sure its named “team-member”

[Robkk]

sorry i forgot about this.

but since you have a full width forum try adding all this CSS to have bbPress look better.

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {

	padding-right: 0;

}

.bbpress .site,

.bbpress .site-header,

.bbpress .site-content .entry-header,

.bbpress .site-content .entry-content,

.bbpress .site-content .entry-summary,

.bbpress .site-content .entry-meta,

.bbpress .page-content {

	max-width: 100%;

}

.bbpress .hentry {

	margin: 0 auto 48px;

	max-width: 100%;

}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {

	.bbpress .site-content {

		margin-right: 0;

		margin-left: 182px;

	}

}

@media screen and (min-width: 1080px) {

	.bbpress .site-content {

		margin-left: 222px;

	}

}

@media screen and (min-width: 1218px) {

	.bbpress .site-content .entry-content {

		margin-right: 0;

	}

}

@media screen and (min-width: 673px) {

	.bbpress .site-content {

		margin-right: 0;

	}

}

bbpress wp4 fix2

If that doesn’t work, try creating a reply in the backend so we can wee if it’s just topics !

[TheMusicianGirl1]

Hello all,

I’ve got a bit of a problem! I just installed bbpress on my site (www.themusiciangirl.com) this morning, and after a bit of fussing, I have it more or less up and running. Well, apart from one large thing! When I click on a topic, the content is not displayed. I tried creating a new topic on both the front end and back end, both with the same result. Here is what it looks like: http://www.themusiciangirl.com/forums/topic/how-to-critique/

Notice how there’s not content? Well, there should be! When I edit the topic on the backend the text is all there, just for some reason it’s not displaying. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Now, I know I know I’m supposed to check with a default theme (2012, 201 etc.) to see if the problem persists. However, I’m terrified of doing that! I’m using a theme called Optimize Press, which is a pretty intense and customizable theme. I’ve spent almost 100 hours carefully creating all of my pages using their live editor. Now, if I suddenly disable it and quickly try on another theme for size, when I re-activate it how do I know that all my pages would be the same? I’d be devastated if they weren’t.

Anyway, has anyone had this problem before? Help is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Maya

Sorry tags work, just subscription not use for now in theme will in the future be added, and i published changed plugins https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-topics/ to work for all users http://prntscr.com/72a5me

[Master]

All works fine, and u can view on demo site and i use 4 plugins for bbpress and work all. Only subscription, descriptions and tags in teme it is not necessary for now. And nothing change, only not using table, and use div.

[Robkk]

just checked the code and i can see that you really stripped a lot of the bbPress default code out.

alot of bbPress specific plugins i can expect not to work correctly because of this, and maybe even some snippets would not work anymore.

[Robkk]

first change the PHP function to this, it bugged me that its not lowercase.

function rk_show_role_classes($classes) {
    $replyid = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
    $bbp_get_role = bbp_get_user_display_role($replyid);
    $bbp_display_role = strtolower($bbp_get_role);
	  
  
	$classes[] = $bbp_display_role;
	return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_class','rk_show_role_classes' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_class','rk_show_role_classes' );

Thats CSS in the topic you linked to , put it anywhere you can put custom css

a child themes style.css file
a custom css plugin

this is basically what you would need in your code.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .moderator div.bbp-topic-content, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .moderator div.bbp-reply-content {
background: #f8f8f8 url(images/team-badge-head.png) top right no-repeat;
}

you will need an image in your child theme in a folder called images though for what they have.

you can test it out by just changing the background color for the users.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .keymaster div.bbp-topic-content, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .keymaster div.bbp-reply-content {
background: blue;
}

there should be classes inserted for every role

.keymaster = Keymaster
.moderator = Moderator
.participant = Participant
.guest = Guest

[Benjamin Zekavica]

Where should I insert then the code from: http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/custom-images-for-moderator-in-bbpress/ of the site?

Hi

We are converting mingle forum into bbpress

In the existing mingle forum we have only 5 forum and not more than 5 topics in each forum. When we tried Tools -> Forum -> import we could able to convert only forum. We could not able to import any of the topics. I checked with 2013 theme also. Same issue occurs. Please suggest.

Wordpress version: 4.2.1
Theme: Thesis 2.1
bbpress version: 2.5.7
Mingle forum version: 1.0.33

Thanks

When I attempt to access the URL ​​https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/smf the page is blank. Am I clicking wrong here, or is something wrong with the page?

[cees50]

Maybe a silly one…

I want a forum on my wp site. But the forum has to be just for members.
On my site i have Menu Items Visibility Control and WordPress Access Control. If i set the forum in the menu just for members using first the visibility control, and then set the forums on hidden. Is that enough? Is that also preventing bots to crawl the forum?

I’m a noob with WP and bbpress, so if this is a really silly question, i am sorry 🙂

@yrisse3

pagination breaks right now with threaded replies.

the patch here fixes it though , will need some more tests before it goes to core

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2785

[Robkk]

there is a couple of patches here , you can see if the latest patch fixes your issue.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2782

make sure to take a site backup before applying a patch.

https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups

if it still doesnt fix your issue , then you might as well restore your site from the backup then wait for a newer patch.

if you really need this fixed soon , i suggest you post a job and hire a developer jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

it worked for me, and just so you know bbPress uses some of the WordPress comments code for anonymous posting.

link to a topic i can test on and make sure you have the code placed.

the way i tested it is i tried normal anonymous posting when logged out of my test site inputted my email and name then posted a reply and topic. by default the name and email should populate automatically for my next reply and topic.

with my code it should display empty text inputs even when you already made a reply or topic.
