@vinzen

you can create a new widget based off of the default recent topics widget and customize it to your liking. or you can edit this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-advanced-recent-topics-widget/

and add the topic tag thing you want.

s2member will allow creating a paid membership bbpress site and restrict access to specific forums by user role (membership level)

https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/

paid membership pro works with bbpress as well, requires (free) optional add-on plugins to restrict forums per member levels and/or per user role

I tested this plugin: FriendlyCase

And unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be compatible with bbPress.

Hi,

I am currently converting over a fairly large Xenforo forum to bbPress.
Something like 14,000 users – 41,000 topics – 250,000 replies.

I managed to move everything over without much effort or problem; let it run overnight..

The problem I’m having is running repair.

I managed to run ALL repair functions (one at a time) except:
[Recalculate the position of each reply]

Is this really required? I’m 6 hours into my 3rd attempt.
I keep having to adjust this or that, increase this or that, and raise Execution time, etc.
Even got a white screen a few times which I assumed was a timeout.

My server has virtually unlimited resources. It has 64gb of memory and 12 cores I believe. It is divided up into two seperate VMs. 8GB Ram for the database server and the remaining for the web server. Only using SSD drives. Only 4 wordpress sites running on server.

I’ve read that some imports don’t require the [Recalculate the position of each reply] to be run but I don’t know if Xenforo imports require it.

Really appreciate some insight.
Thanks,

Hello!

I tried adding the BBpress login shortcode ([bbp-login]) to my “My Account” page, but it does not appear. Is there something I’m missing?

Thanks!

Hello,

I’d like to find a way to have all users on the forums be able to upload images and have them embedded in a post. I’ve tried both solutions below and Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab only links the image and inserting the code from the second link doesn’t work.

bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab
Add media upload button to bbpress

Any new insight on achieving this? The media button would be perfect for what I’m looking for.

Thanks!

Hey there,

I’ve read several threads as well as the getting started documentation, and I’m still totally confused about private forums.

I’m about to teach an online class via my website, and I’ve created a discussion forum for students who have registered for the class.

How do I allow ONLY those who have registered for my class to access the forum?

Do I need a special plugin other than BBpress?

Thanks so much!
Sharon

Hi there, this is a follow-up to my post because as it turned out, those were not the main problem. (The post display was too wide, similar to the problem below; and the translated german titles of the message count rows were wrapped to a second line, whereas the shorter english titles would have worked. Both were fixed individually by css.)

Now I am still having this problem with at the compose area. See below. This is an animated GIF to show the effect when some text is entered.

This looks like exactly the solution I need to display sub-sub forums on my forum index page. Unfortunately I tried it and got a blank screen. Does anyone know if this patch is still valid for the most recent version of bbPress?
Also-it looks like the file to be edited is outside the “Templates” folder:
plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php
Is it possible to modify the templates.php file and put it in my child theme to protect it from future updates?
This guide only refers to files in the template folder.

Thanks.

Edit: scratch the first question-I got it to work I had just pasted the code incorrectly. Still need to know if it’s possible to put this modified file into a theme folder.

Hi there – for some reason when I view my forum list page, it is showing the date the last topic was created, not the last reply in that topic.

However, when I click on that forum, in the topic list it shows the correct time and date of the last reply.

Is this normal?

bbpress: 2.5.6

Great, I am new and i am going to install it on my blog.
Thanks to bbpress.

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!!:)

[Simon Aart Oosterman]

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.

@thesocialrefugee

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.
