glad you like the plugin – I wrote it, and also

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information/

which just does bbpress if you don’t have buddypress, and might be the better one to crib from.

if you download it and look at

includes/display.php you’ll see it hooks to an action in bbpress

add_action (‘bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details’, ‘bbp_profile_information’) ;

so you just (!) need to create a function that echos the output of your snippet and use that in the hook.

Not sure of your php knowledge level, so do come back if you need further help

After installing bbpress and setting up some forums, the following error displays for every non-empty forum where the topic freshness author should display. “Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /home/ncfblues/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php”. I would really appreciate some assistance on how to best resolve this issue. Thanks for providing such a great plugin!

Is there a function to insert a profile field below the users avatar in topics and replies?

I have some custom php that will create the value for the field but I can’t figure out how to insert the field in the profile area in topics and replies.

I found a great plugin: bbp buddypress profile information

It does a great job of showing BP fields in bbpress forum profiles. But I still can’t figure out how to have our custom php snippet be the source of the value for the field.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,

Clients who use the bbpress forum want a like button ala Facebook.
Is that a bbpress function or can I use a plug-in.

Who can help me.

Hi All,

I am working on making bbPress work with my current theme, and, previously it was using page.php properties to draw the forum etc. I fixed that by adding a bbpress file to the theme root, however, I am not getting any posts whatsoever appear when looking in topics.

Does bbPress use the normal the_content(); functions that wordpress use, or are their different functions I am simply missing here?

The Codex is really bad and doesn’t seem to explain any of this, but I’d be super happy if someone could prove me wrong on that.

Thanks,

Jake

you need BuddyPress to use @mentions , bbPress does not support it yet.

@mentions is not part of bbPress yet.

but for now you can use the @mentions feature from BuddyPress and use on forums

[BBC]

No only bbpress wp411 and twenty twelve

[Robkk]

@bbc

Do you have bbPress and BuddyPress activated??

[BBC]

Robkk

That is strange.
The suggestion that you do.
Manually tag people Sith @username.
Is the thing that is not working on my site.

Must i configure bbpress here for, and how?
I have tried it without all plugins deactived and it did not work.

Do you have an idea how I can active the standard tag feature from bores

Greetings
Conrad

[Robkk]

you can tag anybody that is not in the topic manually.

just type @username

im talking about the little dropdown that suggests people to @mentino that is shown in this image that will show only people in the topic.

here is the code any where i got it from

Add the New BuddyPress Mentions Interface to bbPress Forum Replies

[WutHirsch]

Not completely.
But the mythemeshop support helped me a lot.

The correct code is:

.bbpress .sidebar.c-4-12 {
  display: none;
}
.bbpress .article {
  width: 100%;
}

Also i was able to change the breadcrumb / the forum base title into another word.
Simply add this code into: bbpress.php:

// bbPress, change Forum title in bbpress 
 
function isa_custom_forum_title() {
 
     return 'Enter your title';
}
 
add_filter('bbp_get_forum_archive_title', 'isa_custom_forum_title');

Hi, bbpress 2.5.6, when I use the [bbp-topic-tags] shortcode, it displays a certain number of tags, but not all the tags assigned to topics. Is this normal? Is the code limiting the output to some max count? Can this be changed? Thanks.

Hello, I have been trying to migrate very small forum – 35 posts to a new database. Both bbPress forums are running on the most current version. Users have all been migrated to new database and is running on the same(current) version of buddypress. Forum and site roles have been set for all users.

I have exported 3 separate files: Forums, Topics, and Replies. I then upload it using the WordPress Importer. I make the connections with the users in my new database. On the backend, everything looks good. The forum, topics, replies, and user connections are correct. On the front end, the forum is visible, but none of the topics are.

I’ve tried to repair using the forum tools – after doing that the forum loses all of it’s topics and the replies are no longer linked to the topic.

I’ve done this repeatedly and it’s always the same result. Can anyone help lead me in the right direction.I have no idea what I could be doing wrong. Thank you.

Hi,

I’m having an issue setting up bbp Private Groups to work exactly as required.

I’ve set up a private forum to be visible only to logged in users (I also have other forums visible to all).
This works fine in that the forum is invisible to non-logged in users.
However when a non-logged in user goes directly to the private forum url (eg http://teamtwobees.com/forum/facebook-advertising/) they are presented with a 404 page. I’d like these users to be redirected to a log in page and then redirected back to the private forum after having logged in.

I’ve set the ‘URL of redirect page for NON-LOGGED-IN’ option but this doesn’t seem to have any affect – users still get the 404 page.

What is the correct way to achieve what I’m looking for?

bbPress v 2.5.6
bbp Private Groups v 2.5.6
WordPress v 4.1.1

Thanks

Simon

Sorry, I just noticed a typo in my post. The php file you need to alter is loop-single-reply.php and it’s going to be in your plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress folder. But it may also be in your theme’s folder if your theme has custom bbpress template files. If your theme has a bbpress folder in it themes/{your theme}/bbpress than that’s the file your need to make your adjustments to.

Make your simple addition: put <?=function_exists('thumbs_rating_getlink') ? thumbs_rating_getlink() : ''?> inbetween <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_content' ); ?> and <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_content' ); ?> either before the content <?php bbp_reply_content(); ?> or after it. It all depends on what you prefer.

And then put it in your theme’s child folder: themes/{child-theme}/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php.

If you aren’t using a child theme (highly recommended, BTW) you’ll will have to modify this file directly and replace it in the default folder. And, every time you update your theme and/or bbpress you may need to recreate this modification.

And for css modifications you’ll have to insert the appropriate css mods (use Google Chrome to identify the css selectors and properties/values) into a custom.css file/plugin–I either use the one in Jetpack or in a stand alone plugin. You can also add the css modifications into your child theme’s .css file.

–Refer to the plugin author’s support page on wordpress.org. There are a lot of valuable css tips and suggestions. Also, the author had proven to be very helpful in getting his plugin up and running for most people.

Oh, and my website is currently in the development stage and won’t be made public for awhile. I’m building it at my leisure, “The joy of hobby sites.”

Hopefully this clears up a few things. It’s kinda hard to describe everything in detail. I just end up muddling through until it looks/acts OK. As a suggestion make sure you keep a default/unmodded .php file handy to switch back and forth with until everything works. Wouldn’t want to have to bother reupping a new file from a theme/bbpress .zip file every time you screw something up.

Good luck, Chad

Wordpress search box and bbpress forum search are disconnected. These operate independently. Is there any way for them to work together? although it should place some selector (radio button) to search at each of them using same box?

Thanks for all 🙂

[AlbertFox]

Activating the visual editor or CKEditor plugin for bbPress (editing functions.php) A “HTML” tab is created in the message topic form. And by default must be pressed manually on “VISUAL” to write the rich text editor and display all the options. It’s confusing…

My question is: How can 1) make the visual editor to default and 2) hide tabs “HTML” on the message/topic form?

BBPRESS VERSION 2.5.4
WORDPRESS 4.1.1

Thanks for all 🙂

[Robin W]

Donlt worry we all had to start at some stage !!

1.

Now, because I did that, anyone that registers registers for a WordPress account. I’m not sure if that’s correct.

yes that is how bbpress works it uses a worpress account. As long as you set Dashbiard>settings>general default to subscriber, your user won’t be able to do anything in wordpress

2. set the admins to hidden as per docs

Forum visibility:

Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users with a forum role can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/keymasters can see these forums

If you want more granular access, then use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

3. no sorry not a ‘diary’ way- wordpress not bbpress so try their forum, but

4.

I am pretty sure I can do it via the forum, I just don’t know how to do it. I know it’s a permissions thing and I can make certain posts hidden.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

and set a forum per user, but you’ll need to do this manually as part of user set-up, so if only say one as day signing up that would be fine, but if hundreds !!

4.

‘I was just told we need to also make it so that the posters are anonymous’

No idea why, it is entirely up to you how you set you site up
– if you want no-one to comment then set comments off in settings>discussion>default article settings.
– if you want just registered – then also set ‘users must be registerd…’ in other comment settings

Come back if you need further help 🙂

[freakyy85]

thanks but i removed bbpress again … im not good in styling stuff and i dont really need a forum.

[Lars Henriksen]

Thanks Chad, I like the idea of lightweight too, so I took your advice and tried it out.
It works fine with custom posts and pages, but I can’t set it up with BBpress.

First of all, is my child theme path correct:

(childtheme)/bbpress or should it be (childtheme)/plugins/bbress?

You mean ‘single-reply.php’ above, right? 🙂

Do I have to modify bbpress css ?

Can you post a link to your site, please?

Thanks,

Lars

[freakyy85]

nm, I’ll remove bbpress again. sorry for the trouble.

[Robkk]

Is this the same code that bbpress is using on this forum?

i dont think so, i think its something else, maybe just BuddyPress but i think they took out the notifications for each @mention.

if you use what i am talking about you type @ then after that a bunch of users names show up that are in the topic for you to put their name in.

You are also talking about a plugin functionality

i mean a plugin that you can paste code snippets llke the one i put above into ,

https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/

Is there also a plugin who can do this?

For @mention notifications , BuddyPress. For placing code snippets you can use the plugin i mentioned above.

[Robkk]

@goclones

i dont know why its not working??

most of the links you hover over with the vantage theme in the bbPress forums the title attributes dont show , like hovering over the title of the topic should show the topic title , but it doesnt.

Dont know what to tell you.

[Robkk]

would this plugin help out with what you are trying to do.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

instead of embedding a forum each post , it is a topic.

then you could use wordpress categories for each type like TV or Movies then

their is a some settings added to the comments metabox to specify what forum you want this specific topic would be in , then it would create the topic automatically based off the current post you are creating.

Im not sure if it does what you want to do , id say check it out and see if you can.

you dont have to create categories for all the forums just create a couple forums like say TV and MOVIES for example then create topics for each post.

[BBC]

@robkk
Thank for reaction.

Is there also a plugin who can do this?
If not then I will ask my web builder to implement your code.

Again thanx
