Hi!
I want to put tinyMCE in bbPress, I copied this code -> https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/ and it works good but I want to disable html tab and leaving only the visual tab.
Is it possible without using css or javascript solutions?
Hi there, I am using insert_php plugin with bbpress. I have already added [insert_php] as a shortcode to whitelisted shortcode list under ‘bbPress2 shortcode whitelist’s settings. But, I am still getting [insert_php] as text in replies. Please help me understand if I am missing something here?
I believe that wordpress support forums use bbpress, how can I add this “Add New” button to my bbpress forum
they do , the bbpress standalone version
suprisingly this button is not in here.
wordpress.org use a customized version of bbPress just like this site ooes
you can try something like this
<?php if ( bbp_is_single_topic() ) : ?>
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
<a class="bbp-new-reply-button" href="#new-post">New Reply</a><li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
place the code in loop-replies.php above the <li class="bbp-header">
you can style the link like so with some CSS , place wherever you place custom CSS
.bbp-new-reply-button {
background:black;
color:#fff;
text-transform:uppercase;
text-decoration:none;
}
there is alot of RSS/news ticker plugins that could do this vertical scrolling thing.
i suggest doing a google search and seeing what might be the best
to most likely make it work with bbPress you will need to use the bbPress RSS feeds.
you can change how many topics to show in the RSS page in settings>forums
for listing all the most recent topics use something like this for example
https://bbpress.org/feed/?post_type=topic/
so on your site it would be
example.com/feed/?post_type=topic/
bbPress doesnt render shortcodes
you will need to use a plugin like this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/
Note: by default, only users with the ability to publish bbPress forums will have their short codes parsed. This can be changed by passing a different capability via the pw_bbp_parse_shortcodes_cap filter.
so by this note keymasters/moderators for sure can post shortcodes.
this plugin does this type of thing but you have to manually configure that part
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-go-to-first-unread-post/changelog/
you would have to copy the bbPress Recent Topics widget edit it/rename it and change where it renders the topic title to gtf_topic_title()
we´re finding bbpress so incredibly frustrating, no private messages, no way to tell users if x post has unread replies (I mean, really!? how is a user supposed to use it regularly!?)
sorry about your experience so far, there is alot of unread posts plugins that do unread posts quite differently in each one.
search google for these.
bbPress – Pencil Unread
bbPress Unread Posts
bbPress New Topics
bbPress Go To First Unread Post
bbPress – Mark as Read
bbPress – Thread Catch-Up
and as for private messages their are a bunch of WordPress plugins that do that also. 1 for sure is BuddyPress which is made by the same developer as bbPress.
check out this topic for other examples besides BuddyPress’ private messages feature. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/private-messages-not-with-buddy-press/
if you have any other issues with bbPress please make a new topic and the support will try to handle it as soon as possible.
I’m looking for a very basic scrolling Latest topics like there is on forumotion forums, does anyone have any good plugins they would recommend to use with bbPress?
ok, I’ve added it to my shortcode plugin
bbp additional shortcodes
you will want :
[display-forum-index forum= ‘2932, 2921′ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]
You can see how to set this in
Dashboard>settings>shortcodes
Hi Robk,
I understand but you know it´s supposed to be pretty much the official wordpress forum solution and it we made the leap from joomla to wordpress and the forum was a main pilar of our site and we´re finding bbpress so incrediby fustrating, no primate messages, no way to tell users if x post has unread replies (I mean, really!? how is a user supposed to use it regularily!?) and it´s just ridicolous, I´m sure bbpress has many good features but… so far it´s just useless to us and we have no special needs, just a conventional, everyday forum with conventional everyday features.
As for the converter, for whoever finds this post, I found no solution for Kunena 2 converter. Only solution was to update the joomla forum to Kunena 3 and then run the Kunena 3 converter/importer and that seemed to work.
In bbpress, Video player not showing.
I tried both Jwplayer & flowplayer and wordpress core player.
But none of this show the player, just the code.
but in other page, it works well.
Would you help me?

hmmm….hadn’t fully reads your original post
ideally I’d like to get search results with pagination
That’s what you should have ! Results should show the ‘replies per page’ setting together with full pagination.
Are you sure there are more than 20 results to show?
I suspect that something else is disturbing this
If you haven’t amended bbpress code or added filters then :
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.
Come back when you have done that
no problem
copy this code into a new notepad/notepad++ page

Change the -10 days right near the bottom to whatever number you want
Save this file as ‘close_old_topics.php’
Compress/zip this file, so you have a zipped version.
then in worpress go to
Dashboard>plugins>add new and click ‘upload’ and then upload the zipped file you saved above, and then activate.
Come back if you have any issues, the code is not mine and I have not tested it, but others have used.
hello,
I believe that wordpress support forums use bbpress, how can I add this “Add New” button to my bbpress forum

thank you,

@newdermeo
hover over bbpress.org in the toolbar there should be a dropdown that says create new topic
or click the forum you want to create your topic in the forum list in the sidebar and scroll to the bottom of the page and create a new topic from there.
do this instead since you want it for all of the bbPress login forms.
.bbp-login-form {
max-width: 270px;
}
and you could put the CSS in many places
a custom css plugin
jetpacks css module
your child themes stylesheet
the bbpress.css stylesheet that should be copied to your child theme in a bbpress folder
ive found this https://wp-push.com/extension/pushover-notifications-for-bbpress/ its a good 16 bucks in US.
it says it sends notifications to your phone if you have the pushover app (also paid $5 maybe??)
if you want to create an app out of your WordPress/bbPress site i think this service would work apppresser.com/
there might be other ways too , maybe hooking into the official WordPress app but im not sure, this might need some custom development and you would need to hire a developer.
if you have WordPress all set up and also downloaded and activated bbPress.
then follow this article and see if it helps.
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/
if you want more explained articles on how to set up your forums
there is a step by step 5 part guide on how to setup bbPress
in codex.bbpress.org/
still have issues then please reply back
sorry about you getting no responses
im lately fiddling with importing other forum software to bbPress
its a learning curve but yeah maybe in the future we wont have to always rely on Stephen for importing forums support tickets when he is busy.
if you have any other information to post to help out future users who have could come across the same issue please do so.
Hi. I have the very latest bbpress but do not see an option in forum settings for fancy editor.
I have WP-EDIT as apparently this replaced tinymce.
Can anyone comment? I see the same editor here. Just thinking of my potential non-techy members.
Thanks!
Hello friendly webpeople,
So I’m fairly new to the website creating world (go me) and thanks to GoDaddy’s website builder, I actually have something pretty nice. One of the things I wanted to do was add a forum. Talking with the GD tech support people, they suggested getting wordpress (hosted through them) and then downloading the bbPress plugin, and easy-as-pie – NOW YOU HAVE A MESSAGE BOARD!
But that’s where they left me.
I’ve been trying for hours to figure out how you go from the dashboard, which is basically a blogger UI, to turning it into a message board. For years, I was an admin for a little board we all ran, but it was a YaBB board and everything I had to do, I did from the admin panel.
Is there a simple way to make this plugin look and behave like a message board?
Please help this poor little sheep.
Your pal,
Sam
Hi does anybody have opensource or github Android\iOs app for full functionality of BBpress forum? as well as Push Notifictions may be working via XML-RPC?
Hey guys I am new to bbPress. I am excited to be part of the community. I have been using SimplePress(Not so simple press lol). Anyhow I have followed the import instructions and everything seems to go well. I don’t get any errors. But it is like nothing imports. I checked my database I see of the SimplePress tables and rows. And there are also to of topics and a few forums.
Thank you in advance for the help! Below is a screen shot of what the import screen looks like after I try and import. I would also be happy to make a brief screen capture video and give any more details needed.
Regards,
Dallin
bbpress uses custom post types of Forums, Topics, and Replies.
Just use one of the many export plugins.
I googled ‘wordpress export custom post types to excel’ and got lots of useful looking plugins
I think these issues are not bbpress related.
I’d discuss these issues with the plugin authors and your host provider.
