Hello,
I want to use bbpress login widget with captcha plugin. But this doen’t looks nice:

How can I change the layout of the bbpress login widget?
Possible in the bbpress.css, but I’m not familar with such things.
I’m using a childtheme of twenty thirteen.

Thanks for you help!
Gerd

don’t know what else to suggest, bbpress is tested to work with the default themes, suggest you contact your host provider.

[bandormen]

I’ve deactivated all plugins and I’ve used the default theme Twenty Fifteen.
And also a reinstallation of the bbpress plugin didn’t solve the problem.

Thx in advance for your help.

it seems like this plugin replaces the bbPress notifications completely, try deactivating the one in bbPress in settings>forums and see if that would work.

[Robkk]

Per forum moderation is noted for a future release of bbPress, i think they are going to test it out on wordpress.org first.

Forum version 2.5.4
http://www.thevegansandwich.com/forum

I would like to add a registration and login links right above my bbpress forum, but not in the header.php page as I tried that and it added the links to the header on every page. How to do this? I already created the registration and login pages, I just need to know where and how to add them above the forum, right above the forum search bar.

Also I want to add bbpress statistic information just below the forum. How to do this?
Thank you.

Hi
I have a WP with BuddyPress and bbPress. I have also installed BuddyPress Forum Notifier.
When user posted in a FORUM, it will be shown the following message:

Warning: Missing argument 4 for BP_Forum_Notifier::reply_mail_subject() in /homepages/9/d390074253/htdocs/soysotenible/wp-content/plugins/bp-forum-notifier/includes/notifier.php on line 343

If user does click in the BACK BUTTOM in the navigator, page show the post as NO PUBLISHED. But if user REFRESH the page, the post will be shown as PUBLISHED.

In addition I tell you the following:
The users receive the notifications in the toolbar bubble, but when user does click in the notification and visit the FORUM, notification no disappear. In order to do disappear the notification, user must to mark the REPLY like READED.
Is that normal?
With the other notifications (group, comments and message notifications) when user does click in the notification, the notification redirect the user at the page with the post and the notification disappear.

I am not informatic and I don’t speak english very well…
But I need know what I must do in order to resolve these problems.

Thank’s very very much for your support.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[BillOsuch]

Tried that as well, no go. I went through pretty much every suggested solution to get the bbpress sidebar to display, with no luck. The only thing that worked was using the bbPress Genesis Extend plugin.

[Shmoo]

Just curious if someone could help me here..

I would like to use bbPress but not mainly as forum/support software, what I like to do is use the Forums function as categories to create structure and navigation on my site and the Topics functions as kinda ‘posts’ – the Replies function will not be used. I will remove that part from the template files.
The main reason why I want to use bbPress for my site is the Subscribe and Favorite functions.
Default members of the site can subscribe and favorite topics ‘posts’ and receive email notifications when they change content. That’s the most important feature I would like to use out of bbPress everything else I will customize to my liking.

The only thing that worries me is the performance of bbPress.
What if my site holds 15.000 members, 25.000 topcis ‘posts’ and let’s say 5.000 members subscribe to a single topic-ID. How will WordPress/bbPress handle the outgoing emails to 5.000 people will this increase the performance a lot?

Thanks,

[Robin W]

presuming you’ll be using css to do this, just inspect the pages using developer tools and you’ll see the created class.

for instance your general banter forum has a class of

‘forum bbpress single single-forum postid-28’

Hi there!

I’m trying to find some page ID’s and I’m not sure how to go about doing it with bbPress or BuddyPress as the way these mods work, they’re unusual. The reason I’m looking for this, is to modify the background per specific page. I’m running a guild with two different games and modifying the backgrounds per game categories individually.

So I’m trying to get the Group page ID’s and Forum Page ID’s. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this, or if it’s even possible at all?

Example Forum: http://www.heartwoodgaming.com/forums/forum/bulletin-board/ <- It’s certain to have some sort of ID, right?

Thanks for any help you can provide! It’s very appreciated. 🙂

Hi,

I’ve read through a lot of other similar support questions as this, but haven’t found an answer. When a non logged in user clicks on the menu link for the forum on our site, “404 page not found error” is thrown. I can not figure out how to get it to show the wordpress page that has text to tell the user to login or register to view the forum.

bbPress version: 2.5.4
WordPress version: 4.1.1
using Weaver Xtreme theme
http://sirenspaddlingclub.org/wp/
“SirensBB” is the forum

Any help would be much appreciated!!

[gabstero]

Hi gang!

Are wordpress and bbpress registrations two separate things?
If yes, how can I have one single logins for both?

thanks

[landwire]

When I have a sub-forum in a forum the count of the topics is out for the parent. Basically sub-forums are counted as topics and not as forums. Could that be changed?

See screenshot. Oh no, I cannot upload a file? Is there a trac for bbpress?

Thanks,
Sascha

[Robkk]

this plugin might help

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-custom-reply-notifications/

[Robkk]

that plugin probably still works its just not maintained by the developer anymore

its still here for anyone to fork though https://github.com/mravaioli/wp-modal-login

there are also many alternatives for a modal popup form

this plugin assigns menu items without additional code plus it has a facebook login option

https://wordpress.org/plugins/zm-ajax-login-register/

there is also others with captcha support

wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-bootmodal-login/

and also a very simple one but would need to activate the CSS class option in the menu settings

wordpress.org/plugins/simplemodal-login/installation/

there is also cool tutorial for developers that could probably just hook up the bbPress shortcodes

http://www.blueleafstudio.net/create-responsive-pop-login-box-wordpress/

[ryplittle]

I am new to bbPress development and have been searching for how to do this for a while now, so I figured I’d ask here.

I am wanting to display a loop of all of the forum categories on every page of the forum (as a type of navigation). I am able to display it in the forum root, but when it goes into a category, the loop becomes the forums rather than the categories.

In loop-forums.php, for example, I have the following code:

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_forums_loop' ); ?>
<ul id="forum-subhead-nav">
<?php while ( bbp_forums() ) : bbp_the_forum();

if (bbp_is_forum_category()) { ?>

	<li>
		<a class="bbp-forum-title button-link" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>
	</li>
 <?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

I was wondering if someone can help me out so it loops all of the forum categories, and that doesn’t change depending on the forum.

Thanks

[Robkk]

you can fiddle with the bbPress views

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/8167699

sorting a thread by rating can be achieved exactly like how Robin said .

plugins that might be able to do it are

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

maybe polldaddy ratings or the rating widget might help by using their widgets

this might help with finding the metakey for wp-postratings

wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/50524/how-to-order-results-by-date-and-meta-key

[Zoker]

Ok just to be sure, compare these two images:

Thats the way it looks in phpBB, when you want to create a new “Forum”

Thats the way it looks in bbpress, when you want to create a new “Forum”

Notice the “Link” dropdown item?

Thats what Im taking about 😉

@s1r0n

i tested it out on your site and see its working better

its not really a honeypot field though

how a honeypot field is supposed to be is invisible to the users on your site and is not required for input for the user.

its a hidden input field that if it has any type of dummy information from spam-bots injected , it should stop the next action that the spammer is trying to do.

the way your code is arranged its close to these two plugins

https://wordpress.org/plugins/growmap-anti-spambot-plugin/ ( probably no bbpress compatibility)
https://github.com/studiohyperset/bpress-no-captcha-recaptcha ( still in development)

you might want to go to the bbpress nocatpcha plugin (when its done being developed) if you think it works better for what you need.

since you/robin found half the code im going to try to make a honeypot using these two plugins for the other half

wordpress.org/plugins/registration-honeypot/
wordpress.org/plugins/zero-spam/ (i dont know about bbpress compatibility yet)

also @s1r0n what do you mean by custom meta tags, like explain exactly how you want it so i can see if a normal seo plugin cant do this already.

[Robkk]

@zoker

so like post formats but for bbPress post types??

https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats

there is a function below in the post to implement it , but i think it will only show in the back-end of wordpress and is not implemented in the front-end just yet

[s1r0n]

Ah you’ll have to do that again. the code above has a line commented out that shouldn’t be. sorry for the hassle

add_action('bbp_theme_after_topic_form_content','lp_add_honeypot');
add_action('bbp_theme_after_reply_form_content','lp_add_honeypot');
function lp_add_honeypot() {

    if (is_user_logged_in())
        return;
    ?>
<p>
    <label for="lp_post_honey_pot">I am a robot (yes/no)</label><br />
    <input type="text" value="" tabindex="103" size="40" name="lp_post_honey_pot" id="lp_post_honey_pot"  />
</p>
<?php     
}

//https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.1.1/src/wp-includes/post.php#L0
add_filter('wp_insert_post_empty_content', 'lp_check_honeypot', 10, 2);
function lp_check_honeypot($is_empty, $postarr) {
    
     if (is_user_logged_in())
        return false;
    

    if ($postarr['post_type'] == 'topic' || $postarr['post_type'] == 'reply') {//only do this for bbspress
        if ($postarr['bbp_post_as_submitted']['POST_lp_post_honey_pot'] == 'no') {
            return false; //treat this post as good
        }

        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

I only need this to work for users who are not logged in, guests, so i’ve added a couple of lines to turn this off when users are logged in. if you want to test even registered users just leave those lines in.

When I have a bit of time I’ll look into bbpress errors and find a way to set an appropriate error message.

Have fun and let us know if you use it and it works for you or not

[Robin W]

I would start with

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

this will give you private forums per group, so you can have a user allocated to a group, and a forum allocated to a group. so you would just have a different group for each user, and just one forum allocated to that group.

Then on registration, you would need to

create a forum
create a private group – probably using the $user_id, so that it is unique
Allocate the private group to the forum
Allocate the private group to the user

you’d use an add_action to user_register to do the above, the example below comes from

https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Registration_Form, but you can in effect get wordpress to do anything when the user hits the submit key

 //3. Finally, save our extra registration user meta.
    add_action( 'user_register', 'myplugin_user_register' );
    function myplugin_user_register( $user_id ) {
        if ( ! empty( $_POST['first_name'] ) ) {
            update_user_meta( $user_id, 'first_name', trim( $_POST['first_name'] ) );
        }
    }

so you would need to look at putting code into that function :
create forum – what’s updated in the database when you create a forum – start with bbpress\includes\forums\functions.php and look at what function bbp_new_forum does, you’ll probably need to write a version for the above function.

create a private group (for that one see the private groups plugin includes/settings.php and look at the group settings – and for info $rpg_groups = get_option ( ‘rpg_groups’) 😉
allocate private group to forum – (for that one see the private groups plugin includes/meta-box.php and look at $meta = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘_private_group’, false );
allocate the user to the group – see includes/user-view_post.php it’s looked up using $check=get_user_meta( $user_id, ‘private_group’,true);

Since I’ve now written so much, I am expecting in the spirit of community software, you to share the solution when you get it going, and post the result back here !
