Hello, I’m new to wordpress and bbPress and I’m trying to find an option to close topics after a some time, for example, after 2 days the topic was created.

How may I do this? Do I have to edit the code? If so, can someone explain step by step, as I have never worked with PHP before.

Thanks.

Have couple of problems with my bbpress installation.

1. Users keep getting logged out in different pages, for safari users it’s ok, some firefox users have the problem and some dont.

No page cache or browser cache is used on the site only object and db cache.

2. Fragmented caching –

Using the plugin WP Fragment Cache, probably a plugin issue.

If i cache a part of the content inside a loop then the caching plugin for some reason ignores the position where it should replace the content from cache and puts it as the first div in the page, complete ignoring the correct HTML structure of the site.

Any ideas?

Hello

Is there any possibility to get Polish translation for bbpress 2.5.4? It’s fully translated but still “waiting”. I was looking for way to download non aproved version but can’t find it

Anybody knows how to do that?

Hi all

Is it possible to export the topics in a bbpress forum to something like an excel file.

I don’t particularly won’t to export the posts to another forum but more see how many posts there are from different users

[jeffacubed]

I’d say @korobochkin – nailed the solution on this lingering problem with sub-site (only) user-registration, bbPress & multi-site!! Any chance you’d be able to share the exact code/steps you took to resolve this?

It sounds like hooking into the wp_signup_location filter opens the door 🙂

I’ve been trying to work through the steps/logic that Kolya has shared – but I’ve yet to make the entire piece work (though I know it will, eventually)

I hope someone can help, I feel like I have tried everything and searched everywhere.

We are running WP 4.0.1 – BP 2.1.1 – BBPress 2.5.4 –
I am trying to enable group forums and following the newest instructions I found but when I enable them, the links to the forums change and go to error 404.
I have group forums clicked, if you visit: http://godstuff.ablurk.com/forums (dynamically created by BBPress?) and hover down the list of forum links you can see which ones have bad links and give 404s, some still work, ALL these forums were created back in BP 1 as group forums with no BBPress and yet they act differently now, some permalinks change and some don’t???? One changes to – /groups/share-music-videos/forum/ ???
In the sidebar I have godstuff.ablurk.com/forums/forum/online-resources hard linked in the features menu, when clicked and it redirects to /groups/forum/ and 404s.

I hope some one can help

Hi there,

We have a forum using bbPress and have set a number of forums to “Private”, and it has been working for quite some time. Normally if a person who is not logged in visits the forums page, it would show the message from the feedback-no-forums.php file, however now it doesn’t display anything at all. Just a blank page.

Looking at the HTML code that’s loaded, nothing within the container is loaded either which is strange. However, if I set one of the forums to public, the forum shows.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Robin for looking into this. I have disabled dashboard for non-admin users and that works well for me as of now. So, no issues there.
My next query may be a bit out of bbpress’s scope (i hope i am not being too much of a pest here). Is there a way to allow forum moderator to edit a table (say tablepress table)? I am editing it as an admin but would like moderator of individual forums to be able to do so.
Thanks a ton and feel free to ignore if out of bbpress’s scope or guide me to start a new topic if the query is out of scope of current topic.

[Robin W]

probably because bbpress is sending them through subscriptions, as well as the notify plugin.

[designscape]

Thank you. Yesterday I installed very similar BBpress-Notify-NoSpam and it seems to be working well except for the fact that I am getting double notifications. Ill have to see if I can figure out why.

[Robin W]

try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify/

[Robin W]

this plugin might be what you need

bbp additional shortcodes

[Robin W]

you’ll need to ensure that bbpress is using the right page

see https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#8-make-sure-bbpress-uses-the-page-template-we-want

[Robin W]

This isn’t showing as a wordpress site, and the post is not a bbpress one.

In any event, this will either be a server, email or wordress theme issue. Talk to your host provider who is most able to help you.

Hello, and happy new year
After almost 2 year from your proposal to switch to bbpress, and YES we changed to bbpress.
Greek translation is almost 100%, few more strings

WordPress Greece, now uses bbpress

[Robin W]

I just found 15 minutes to take a quick look.

It’s probably fair to say that if you were trying to hide how the admin sections works, then bbpress would get an Oscar. Function buried in function buried in actions. I cannot see how the forum, topic or replies lists are called so cannot work out how to filter them.

How important is this to you?

[Robin W]

then no, bbpress only works with wordpress

Hi there,

I am highly interested to shut down my old phpBB forum that is installed next to my WP install. Right now I want to switch over to bbPress, but what keeps me from doing so is the fact that bbPress uses the same database as WP does.

Is there a way to make bbPress work with its own database?

Best regards
Chris

Hi, I set up bbpress for a charity. Everything is working OK apart from the email notifications. My question: Is there anyway to send out emails which do not contain lots of unwanted characters? When a forum admin creates a post (especially using attachments and paragraph breaks) the email that gets sent looks something like this:

<p style=”margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2;”><span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: Helvetica,serif;”><span style=”font-size: small;”><span lang=”de-DE”>New Bhakti Marga Logo Announcement</span></span></span></span></p>

Bhakti Marga has always stood for the uniting Love of God, transcending all religions and bringing people together from all corners of the globe. Now more than ever is a time of change both inside and outside and it is our mission and goal to be at the forefront of that change, ushering in a new age of love and spiritual growth that is so very needed in this world. With all that in mind, Sri Swami Vishwananda has decided that the logo of Bhakti Marga needs to change to reflect that renewed conviction of change and spiritual awakening.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2;”><span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: Helvetica,serif;”><span style=”font-size: small;”><span lang=”de-DE”>Symbolism of the new logo</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2;”> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: Helvetica,serif;”><span style=”font-size: small;”>The white horse is a symbol of transformation and new beginnings. It signifies a return to the light from darkness, a journey from our minds to our hearts.<span lang=”de-DE”> Perhaps the most famous use of the white horse comes form the Hindu shastras which claim that Kalki, the tenth avatar of Maha Vishnu, will come riding on a white horse, bringing with him a new dawn and the end of the Kali Yuga. It is exactly that transformation and progression that Sri Swami Vishwananda wishes upon this world and Bhakti Marga is aligning itself to that wish through this new logo. The old logo served to unite us. We believe the new one serves to propel us forwards towards God</span><span style=”font-family: Arial Unicode MS,serif;”><span lang=”de-DE”>’</span></span><span lang=”de-DE”>s Love as one big family.</span></span></span></span></p>

We have now also added the Maha Mantra of Bhakti Marga and the Sri Sampradaya, Om Namo Narayana, to the inner sector of the logo. The Name of God is the greatest and most powerful gift given to us for our spiritual salvation in this age. If we are indeed to usher in a new age then we wish to show the way in which this will be accomplished; through the continuous, loving chanting of the Divine Names.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2;”> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: Helvetica,serif;”><span style=”font-size: small;”><span lang=”de-DE”>On the outer petals of the logo you can now find a variety of logos and symbols, each representing a different facet of Bhakti Marga. For example, you will find the logos for Atma Kriya Yoga, OM Healing, Simply Meditation and the Mantra Project as they are the principle techniques and practices that have been given by Swamiji over this first decade of Bhakti Marga. You will also find symbols of meditation and prayer to symbolise our way of life, the spiritual path we have chosen to take under the guidance of our Satguru. The symbols of the world</span><span style=”font-family: Arial Unicode MS,serif;”><span lang=”de-DE”>’</span></span><span lang=”de-DE”>s religions previously used in the centre of the old logo are also now found on the outer petals. Bhakti Marga will always stand for the unity of religions and the new logo will continue to uphold that stance. The remaining five petals at the top of the logo consist of the Bhakti Marga t</span>ilak,<span lang=”de-DE”> Lord Narayana</span><span style=”font-family: Arial Unicode MS,serif;”><span lang=”de-DE”>’</span></span><span lang=”de-DE”>s S</span>h<span lang=”de-DE”>ankha and C</span>hakra<span lang=”de-DE”> and his eternal bhaktas and servants, G</span>aruda<span lang=”de-DE”> and H</span>anuman<span lang=”de-DE”>. These serve as the symbols of our Guru Parampara (lineage), the most important element of Bhakti Marga by far. Only through worship to the Guru are we to ever succeed in our goals. These symbols will serve as a reminder of that for generations to come. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2;”> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: Helvetica,serif;”><span style=”font-size: small;”><span lang=”de-DE”>Last but not least, the white horse is seen emerging from a lotus.

if you talking about the white-space on the left and right sides of the page.

did you create a bbpress.php file??

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

[Robkk]

if you dont want users to subscribe to forums/topics at all disable subscriptions in settings>forum

if you dont want users to favorite topics disable subscriptions in settings>forum

the subscription and favorites sections will disappear if disable both

you can also copy the file content-single-user.php into a folder called bbpress in your child theme. then delete these lines of code below.

<?php if ( bbp_is_favorites() ) bbp_get_template_part( 'user', 'favorites'       ); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_is_subscriptions() ) bbp_get_template_part( 'user', 'subscriptions'   ); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) bbp_get_template_part( 'user', 'topics-created'  ); ?>
<?php if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) bbp_get_template_part( 'user', 'replies-created' ); ?>

[Robkk]

hmmm i see you hid the notice with some CSS for a quick solution.

you can check and see if creating a bbpress.php file would solve the issue.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

[Robkk]

It doesn’t show all the forum categories. It’s showing up like a blog post/page instead.

this is common , all you have to do is create a bbpress.php file your bbpress installation.

heres more instructions on how to create one.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

Why is it showing /forums/forum? I only want it to be for example /forums

its suppose to be setup that way.

you can disable the Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug in settings>forum, its recommended though.

Now, if I try to go to http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/forum/ to see the whole list of forums like it should be

you should go to http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/

/forums/ for all forums

/forums/forum for specific forum.

[supremor]

Can someone offer a fix for the Login bbpress widget? When placed on the main forum sidebar it looks ‘squished’.

I want it to look like this:
