Hey,
Rob Dyson looked over my site and finally came up with a plugin to use:https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

This solved my problem immediatly, so Thanks alot to him!!:)

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem. I’ve looked everywhere and tried everything. No luck.

This is a pretty essential function and should have an easy solution.

I’m really appreciative of everything bbPress has done. This one little thing is just a real big niggle! 🙂

Kind regards,
Simon

Hi,

I haven’t changed anything to my wordpress or BBPress, but for some reason, people can’t post long forum posts.

They click post, the page refreshes, they’re at the top of the page, and then scroll down and see the post in the posting area, unposted.

Weird.

Can anyone help?

Regards,
Simon

Indeed we use the user ID, an integer, the only work around for this would be to make a custom user table in one of two ways:

1) A a table with a unique ID linked to each email and join this table in the the user section of the import script

2) Similar to the above, but add a column to each of your four databases with a unique ID for each email address that will be common across all four DB’s.

Thinking out loud both above and now, option 1 is kind of out, to keep performance reasonably quickly each forum, topic, and reply uses an integer ID for the post and bbPress uses this same method for all 25 importers except one, only one includes the email address of the poster in the topic and reply tables and each topic/reply is imported based on the original topic/reply author ID.

In the end (or the beginning) you need to “normalise” your data from 4 databases to match 1, thinking the other way round, do your import into 4 separate WordPress installs and then merge the 4 WP install DB tables into a single DB. The benefit of this is that all your data will be now “normalised” in the WordPress format and then it’s a matter of updating the duplicate user ID’s to the primary user ID and remove the now redundant user ids.

Yea I suspect so too.

If anyone, ideally a bbpress developer, could offer any advice on how I might re-code the import script to match topics/replies to user via email that would be great!

I shall cross my fingers for a response 😉

Thanks

I get this Implode error too

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php on line 1518

Forums with no-parent containing just topics are fine.
But Forums (of type ‘Forum’ or ‘Category’) and containing child-forums display the implode error message against each child-forum.

Am also seeing this with the Evolve theme. My bbPress plugin install is unmodified, as is the theme.

I wanted to filter the recent forum topics not only by their parent forum but also by their topic tags.

I fiddled with the widgets.php that I found at wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/.

I’m not a programmer yet I achieved the widget interface to contain the field for topic tag.

Though it looks good, its not working. The topics are not filtered by the desired topic tag. In fact, it is not making any difference.

I think the problem is about not getting the field ID for the topic tag. Or, there isn’t any filter for sorting topic tags.

I searched the entire BBPress support forums but did not find any similar post or problem.

I wish to know is it right to use the following:

$instance['topic_tag'] = sanitize_text_field( $new_instance['topic_tag'] );

get_field_name( 'topic_tag' );

Should I use –

'post_topic_tag' => $settings['topic_tag'],

or

'post_topic_tag' => bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(),

I came across a somewhat related topic https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topic-tag-archive-wrongly-displaying-all-topics/

It suggests to use this –

if( bbp_has_topics( array( bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id() => bbp_get_topic_tag_slug() ) ) )

Now, I’ve tried all of these and I’m getting nowhere.

I hope the experts here will spot out the problem and help me sort out my widget in the way I want.

Thanks.

you can use bbPress profile code on Woocommerce templates if you know what you are doing.

it could just be copying the user-details.php file from the bbPress templates and adding a simple link to your my account page from wwocommerce.

i suggest you hire a developer if you want anymore customization and possible merging templates of bbPress and Woocommerce.

Actually, this isn’t working right. I prevents any topic/replies from being posting on activity walls at all. I guess it’s back to the drawing board.

I’m wondering if this might do it – putting a div class around the topic/reply content in the template files of bbPress, and then only hiding this div in BuddyPress. But then I’m thinking it might result in the same issue – nothing topic/replies show in activity wall at all.

Hello , i just installed bbpress on my wordpress , i opened new Theme page and echo shortcode [bbp-forum-index] , i can see the forum , but when enter the test forum , it’s not enter inside it , what to do i don’t know bbPress much , here a link to my forum page :
http://xn—-7hcbracas6eta3ak.tv/forums/
sorry for Language but you should understand because forums is at middle there and i am sure you can see it clearly , Thanks in advacned.

[Robkk]

well you can have wordpress at the root of your whole site and not just have it in a folder.

if you do that all you would have to do is create a seperate blog page and a static home page.

your blog page would show all your recent posts like it would by default.

if you install bbPress while WordPress is not in a subfolder , by default the forum archive url will be yoursite.com/forums but you could change the forum slug to ‘forum’ or remove the ‘forums’ slug because your url will look like yoursite.com/forum/forum/forum-name instead of the default yoursite.com/forums/forum/forum-name.

Does that work out for you?? or is there a specific reason you want wordpress to be in a blog folder.

@thierryyyyyyy

thank god you figured it out , i dont know much about bbPress v1

[Robkk]

-i’m pretty sure that’s normal.

Troubleshooting

see here is a picture of my comment before i edited it.

[andrew55]

I’m still testing, but I think this does it:

.activity-list li.bbp_topic_create .activity-content .activity-inner, .activity-list li.bbp_reply_create .activity-content .activity-inner {
	display: none !important;
}

It shows bbPress forum titles in BuddyPress activity streams, but not content of the reply/post.

Hope this helps anyone who might need it.

[Scott Hartley]

When a user activates the plugin, they get three new items on their wp-admin board. Forums, Topics, and Replies.
Then in the tools section we have tools to solve basic issues with the plugin.
Finally in the Settings tab we have the Forums menu again to allow us to control basic settings of the plugin.

The problem with this layout… It’s TOO much and it’s very scattered. I would think the admin structure would be better if we took all the different items and put them under 1 category. Forum or bbPress whichever sounds better I guess.

From there we would have the main landing page which would either be the latest update information or the settings page.

Across the top we would have replies, forums, topics. (in any order I suppose). Then from there we would have the ability to create new or edit past pages in those categories.

Pros
– Much Cleaner administration board
– Easier to find what you are looking for.
Cons
– More clicking to get to certain sections.

Just an idea I had because WordPress administration boards seem to be getting cluttered these days.

However, the auto mentions only work from the text tab (not the visual), is this a bug?

i think the functionality to make the script work for the TinyMCE visual editor is not possible now. You see that we are basically just borrowing the script from BuddyPress to work for bbPress forums , and also that neither bbPress and BuddyPress have the visual editor in their default installations without some plugins or functions added.

It is possible to make it work for TInyMCE though, you would probably have to use some of the code of this auto-complete plugin for TinyMCE.

https://github.com/abrimo/TinyMCE-Autocomplete-Plugin

If you want to develop some custom functionality to make it work for your client ,only thing i can suggest is look over how this plugin is developed and see how they make it work for TinyMCE and of course add on to the script from the BuddyPress plugin.

wordpress.org/plugins/mentionable/

Other than that maybe decide to disable the visual editor for bbPress to make it work fine.

Also, it seems that some users get a notification, but some are not.

If you are talking about the notifications users get when @mentioned , then go to the BuddyPress Support forums for help on this.

Hello!
I’ve been reading all the topics on the forum and i found many similar issues to my problem, but now solution worked. I disabled all plugins and tried it with default theme also.
When someone subscribes(or creates a topic) to a topic or forum and then someone replys to it, no emails are being sent out to the guy who subscribed. Im using buddypress and bbpress newest version, and buddypress emails-like register, private message etc working, but noone of bbpress related emails are being sent out. I’m using WP SMTP now(before i was using WP MAIL SMTP, but then someone in this forum said if he changed to WP SMTP plugin it started sending, but didnt help for me), and test emails are being sent correctly also.(without any smtp plugin it doesnt work also)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Daniel

ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?

If you are localhost, then that seems to be the solution

We have bbPress integrated with BuddyPress. We have an educational based membership site which is lesson based. The member’s access to forums in bbPress is controlled by what lesson student currently has, so if a student isn’t on lesson 5 yet, they can’t see the forum for lesson 5. We use a membership script to accomplish these permissions.

When any student creates a topic/reply in bbPress, this shows in the activity stream of BuddyPress (personal and site-wide). Because we do not want students reading topics/replies of forums they don’t have access to yet, is there a method of hiding just the content of the topic/reply in the activity streams within BuddyPress?

I have all forums as private, but content of each topic/reply is still showing in BP activity stream.

We would love to keep the topic/reply titles and and participants in the activity stream, just not the content/excerpt.

I seen the “bbp-reply-content” div class in bbPress. Is there a method of maybe hiding only this in BuddyPress? Thanks for any suggestions.

[andrew55]

My guess is that this has to do with the forums being imported from phpBB? Since import, when a new topic is created or replied to, I notice it’s freshness is accurate.

So I guess I’ll just hide the freshness until we get some more activity (just so members don’t get confused). I’m still very very happy with bbPress!

Hello

My wordpress is the 4.2.2 and the bbPress plugin is 2.5.6.

Someone could help-me? I did search for a long time in the web but didnt find solution for this.

Thanks for all!

I got it !

sometimes, Apache exited with higher Status number example :
[Sat Apr 18 00:02:05.423769 2015] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 5900:tid 404] AH00428: Parent: child process 5032 exited with status 3221225725 — Restarting.

Google gave me a hint : write this code in your httpd.conf (that’s for Windows)

 
<IfModule mpm_winnt_module>
    ThreadStackSize 8888888
</IfModule>

It works now, like a charm 🙂

explanation : the stackSize in Windows is defaulted at 1MB, and it seems that bbPress Import need much more…. This line push the limit to more than 8MB. That’s all.
WAMP does NOT show this mpm_winnt_module in the list of loaded modules, I guess it is because it’s a default Apache Windows module ( http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_winnt.html )
Ah, I put first only the line “ThreadStackSize 8888888” (without ifModule) to be sure that it is taken into account. If the module was not mounted, Apache would have wrote it in apache_error.log. It should work on every windows normal installation
