Thanks Robkk, I will have a look at that what-the-file plugin and a look at the codex documentation and see what I can find. I’m really stretching my skills here so it’s interesting and informative but not always making much progress!

I have traced some of the files involved in the page displays with warp7, it is pretty complex and convoluted! Basically so far I have it mapped out a bit like this:

request > index.php (calls ‘warp’ system) > template.php (loads in the widget positions etc including calling for the content) > filtering to decide what kind of content ‘content’ is (ie page, archive etc) ##### AT THIS POINT BBPRESS TAKES OVER AND STARTS MAKING THE SPECIAL BBPRESS CONTENT #####

> if still with warp, goes into styles > layouts > individual override templates

> if now in bbPress goes into bbPress.php then to the bbPress template files, but somewhere here some of it gets lost!

I could of course be completely wrong, I have never dissected a theme this thoroughly, let alone something of the complexity of the warp framework!

Thanks for the offer of inspecting the theme for me, that would be great! As the website is live I can’t provide access to that site but I’ll get a version up and running elsewhere and not live and I’ll send you admin details. Hopefully there is a fairly simple solution that can be shared with others who are suffering this problem! Up until this hurdle I had nothing but love for the warp7 framework, now there is a bit of a cloud over it in my mind if it is indeed responsible for these issues. Whizz-bang features are great but not at the expense of overall integration with existing plugins etc!

I will be in touch with login details!

Hey guys and gals

Hope all is well!

First off, thank you taking the time to help, it’s appreciated.

I’ve started to build a wordpress blog ( Fat Burner Depot ) It’s wordpress 4.2.1, if that helps.

I’ve seen a site where bbpress loads into a standard static wordpress page. Shouldn’t I be able to copy and paste the index code into the body of the page text? Just as long as the paths to the rest of bbpress files are right? Is there a better way to go about this?

Anyone can help me out?
Thank you!!

[Robkk]

Really appreciate the response, I get NOTHING from yootheme which is a bit sad 🙁

yeah ive seen quite a couple people not get support on their end for this common issue.

i had a user with the similar issue say that the first wp fix resolved the issue they had with the warp7 framework.

for now you can install this plugin and find the file your forums are using for bbPress.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/what-the-file/

then maybe copy that into a child theme and rename it to bbpress.php from it and remove any unwanted code.

this guide will help hopefully

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

you can also create an admin account for me so i can check out your theme files and see how to fix this. send the login details to my email.

[Robkk]

spammers are loving your topic

usually creating a bbpress.php from a copy of page.php or sometimes single.php and removing unwanted code for comments and blog specific content would fix most theme problems.

follow this guide on creating a bbpress.php

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

contact your theme author too since this is a premium theme, and that i cant be more hands on and look at the code of your theme without buying it.

need more help on this reply back.

I have old version 2.2.4 of bbpress installed on our site.
I have to use old version because already for a long time have problem that
if I update the plug-in forums page breaks!
From forums/ page disappears forums list but all subpages like forums and topics are working and I can access them in browser.

Forums page is created with Method 1 here https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#method-1

I spent a whole day trying to find out what’s wrong with newer version but could not find the reason why Forums page disappeared.

Please help!

P.S. I found that forums/ page is registered when forum post type registration happened, but I could not find out where exactly in bbpress code forums page template is plased. Could anyoone at least help me with that?

[shanhard]

^ SPAM!

Anyone have a similar issue with their bbpress installation, or can offer some pointers for me as to how to go about solving this issue?

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve been thinking much about what is mentioned here of late…

For now, check out some of the plugins on this page https://codex.bbpress.org/feature-plugins-tracking/

p.s. Post counts will ship with bbPress 2.6, so that is one removed from that list.

[Robkk]

i agree with these

Posts Count & Join Date Under Username – just post count and join date on profile.

“Report” Option – It would be good for moderation.

Attachments – but just using the Add Media button , ive been messing with this lately.

Things that should be a plugin

Private Responses – kind of a toss up , its not hard to create though. or are you talking about Private messages??

“Like” button – bbPress has a favorites option , like buttons per reply should just be a plugin, there are nice options for plugins though.

dictate if there are “new” or “unread” posts – there is a lot of options in plugins for this and they are quite different too, it really depends if its good for users to have an option on what they want or what.

Ability to “Quote” users – we have threaded replies as an alternative. it could be a feature in the future , but i think it should stay in plugin territory for now.

things that are easily possible to create in my opinion

Icons for Subcategories that help to differentiate between subcategories – simple css

“New” icons for new posts – show icon from date of creation.

“Sticky” icons for stickied posts – simple css

“Hot” icons for posts that are popular -show the label when a reply level hits

Ability to Rename bbpress specific vernacular (IE “Last Post” in place of “Freshness”) – put the templates in your child theme / create a custom language file for your site/ custom function.

Format Categories vs SubCategories in Traditional Forum Style – there is three ways you can have this functionality.

Signatures – you can create a custom text description box in your profile and then just show it after your reply content with a function.

things that are already in bbPress

Sort Forum by Recently Updated, Most Replies, Most Viewed, Etc. – bbPress views does this.

Basic editor for responses including format help – the default quicktags seem basic

[N3gATiVE]

Hello

This is forums main page https://www.jkyog.org/forums/
and this is a sub-forum https://www.jkyog.org/forums/forum/yoga-meditation-2/

In Sub-forums Freshness is: 1 week, 2 days ago and in main forums page it display 4 weeks ago with some other random user..

When users are posting non stop then Freshness is coming correct but if i delete any spam replay, or if we don’t post anything from long time then main forums page Freshness will change itself into some random user and time..

Tried couple of things like:

All plugins disable expect bbpress
Caching disabled
Recalculate everything from Tools
Changed theme to default / All plugins, wordpress version etc updated to recent version

But no success will appreciate if someone can provide solution or hint!

Thanks.

More functionality without plugins and options to change certain aesthetics would be, in my opinion, pretty routine for a forum codex.

Now I realize that these options are all viable in bbpress, however, not everyone has the time necessary to learn how to implement these things themselves. Many of these things I already have in my forums, but now without extensive research in addition to plugins designed to enable such desired functionality. The thing is, though, should I really need a plugin to allow for signatures or post count?

If you’re interested, this is a list I would recommend for bbpress to be more competitive out of the box and more user friendly:

Out-of-the-Box Recommendations:

Functionality:

• Ability to Rename bbpress specific vernacular (IE “Last Post” in place of “Freshness”)
• Posts Count & Join Date Under Username
• Ability to Change Default Titles & Permissions for Usernames
• Icons for Subcategories that help to differentiate between subcategories & also dictate if there are “new” or “unread” posts in certain categories
• “New” icons for new posts
• “Sticky” icons for stickied posts
• “Poll” icons for posts containing polls
• “Hot” icons for posts that are popular
• Sort Forum by Recently Updated, Most Replies, Most Viewed, Etc.
• Attachments
• Private Responses
• “Like” button
• Signatures
• Ability to “Quote” users
• Basic editor for responses including format help
• “Report” Option

Aesthetic:

• Different color names or title icons for easy recognition between staff & general members
• Option to change colors of backgrounds to differentiate between posts or headers and posts
• Format Categories vs SubCategories in Traditional Forum Style

I also completely understand this may not be within the parameters that the bbpress developers have in mind for this product. They may only be interested in providing the foundation for such things, though without these features, this product is not a feasible option for a comprehensive community forum project for a layman such as myself.

[lorran4cursoh]

Just buddypress. But using the bbpress recent replies and recent topics widgets.

[Robin W]

sorry, but can you confirm if you are using the private groups plugin or just using private forums within bbpress ?

[RobbyMcCullough]

Hey all. I wanted to follow up on this in case anyone finds this through searching..

We found out it was the bbPress Private Replies plugin that was causing this on our setup. This plugin overrides the subscription emails, and it uses it’s own code (that doesn’t remove the www) to generate the noreply email address.

I am planning to submit a pull request, but you can cowboy code it and fix with this change:

In bbp-private-replies.php on line 250 use this code:

$do_not_reply = '<' . bbp_get_do_not_reply_address() . '>';

[Robkk]

i think any rating plugin should work with bbPress but you would have to manually configure most of them in the bbPress templates in your child theme.

you can follow the very bottom of this topic and use the thumbs rating plugin.

you could probably use CSS to make the blocks actually look like thumbs or something.

Request: Voting

there is also this from a really popular developer , usually some of his plugins are good for bbPress.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-postratings/

random list of post rating plugins

wordpress.org/plugins/voter-plugin/
wordpress.org/plugins/voting/
wordpress.org/plugins/kento-vote/

Are there any other options? Could the programmers possibly consider making it a standard part of bbPress? It does seem like such a standard function nowadays.

This really looks like it should be plugin territory, there are already so many options to choose from WordPress plugins and some quite different , its kind of good for people to have options on this.

[Robkk]

some of the themes live demos are having issues but there is always the screenshots too.

that second link is a spam

The the great majority of WP themes offer very limited customization or design focus to improve the functionality or aesthetic of bbpress.

What are you looking for specifically , options in the customizer?? pre-designed layout?? or more functionality without plugins??

love to know what you would want in a bbPress specific theme

[j0n4h]

First of all, those are not bbpress specific themes. The the great majority of WP themes offer very limited customization or design focus to improve the functionality or aesthetic of bbpress. In addition, the top results on themeforest for bbpress have broken live demos, and the second link suggested isn’t even a live website.

Thus, this only proves to further this individual’s post. I am in the same situation. Anything I want to do that is available in any other basic forum tool has to be done manually and greatly reduces optimization. It’s such a pain, I’m seriously considering switching to XenForo for this exact reason. Although I generally love WP, its community features, with great emphasis on bbpress, is lacking out of the box accessibility.

Your options are: juggling multiple plugins as well as designing your own by piece-coding snippets together, or switching to a more comprehensive forum alternative.

Now, I can totally appreciate that this is a community project, but I don’t have the wherewith all to navigate this problem, and given this has been a thing for quite some time, I’d imagine it’s not the direction the developers have in mind for bbpress as a whole.

[MattConway]

I did go with bbPress, http://www.WalthamForestForum.org is now up and running, and very happy with it by and large. However, I still haven’t successfully answered question number 6 above. The bbPress like button plugin linked to in the first answer would be perfect if it worked, but it doesn’t (administrators can like, normal users can’t). I just need a simple thumbs up option so users can show their agreement with other peoples posts (thumbs down as well would be even better).

The $150 being asked for bbPress functionality on RatingWidget is just far more than I can afford. Not saying it’s not fairly priced but it does far more than I need.

Are there any other options? Could the programmers possibly consider making it a standard part of bbPress? It does seem like such a standard function nowadays.

[lorran4cursoh]

Hello,

I’m using the bbpress recent replies and bbpress recent topics in the right sidebar of my site.

When I logged in from a admin account, I can see the activities from the private group foruns. But, if was a moderator or user (participant of the private group) account, the last activities doesn’t appears.

Can you help me to fix this?

I already test the Twenty Fifteen theme and the issue continues.

After recently upgrading the bbpress and core WP files, as well as other plugins we use to the latest versions I am noticing that the links to users’ profiles no longer work correctly. Instead of loading the bbpress user profile, they load up the WP author archive. Is this happening for everyone else too, or just me?
Our site is at http://www.perthtrailscene.com

[landshark]

After more investigation I have concluded that the topics effected have a all 0’s in the date column in simplepress when imported into bbpress they are adjusted to the current date/time. I think this is a carryover from my conversion from SMF to Simplepress. So I do not think it is able to be fixed since the original date time is gone.

[Robkk]

hmmm go through the basic troubleshooting steps listed here

Before Posting

then maybe repair your forums

go to tools > forums then hit the repair forums tab

[Robkk]

try all the general troubleshooting first, if you have other plugins deactivate them, and switch to a default theme like twentytwelve or twentyfifteen.

create me a simple subscriber/participant account so i can check out the quicktags toolbar, send the login details to my email.
