you didnt add an additional plugin to add this type of behavior??

i dont think bbPress does this by default , i think it would need a plugin like this to achive this type of thing.

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

[Robkk]

use the gd bbpress attachments plugin to allow users to upload images.

the users use html when they are using the visual editor too if you activated that it just outputs the html tags in an iframe in real time.

there being two tabs is not really a big deal, but create me a subscriber account and i can see if i can hide it with some CSS.

i need a subscriber account because i cant see the topic/reply form unless i login to your site.

ok role see if this article helps

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

[Robkk]

see if creating a bbpress.php file could fix it.

[Robkk]

yeah that’ll do it , or just installing this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

[Robkk]

try this code from this link

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7864894

and rename the ones you want

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
	return array(

		// Keymaster
		bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Keymaster Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
		),

		// Moderator
		bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Moderator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )
		),

		// Participant
		bbp_get_participant_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Participant Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() )
		),

		// Spectator
		bbp_get_spectator_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Spectator Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_spectator_role() )
		),

		// Blocked
		bbp_get_blocked_role() => array(
			'name'         => 'My Custom Blocked Role Name',
			'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_blocked_role() )
		)
	);
}

@freeshark123

i work on bbPress on WAMP all the time and it works fine for me.

could it be a theme issue?? try switching to a default theme like say twenty twelve.

[Robkk]

try to find a plugin issue first

deactivate your plugins one at a time with bbPress still active and see if any of them are causing the issue with bbPress.

switch to a default theme temporarily to see if its functions in your theme causing the issue.

come back with results

@attuoz

since the bbpFauxData plugin doesnt work use the other ways listed in the article @sam-rohn posted.

especially use the XML file that was in the trac ticket he linked here

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2516

i think you need to the wordpress importer plugin to use the data from the XML file.

[Robkk]

We have installed the latest bbPress + latest WP on our site. Also we have Disqus if this matter.

yeah Disqus not really

We read that bbPress is integrated with ‘Discussion’ settings from WP installation.

well it does but only the comment blacklist and comment moderation , not anything else yet.

more info on this link.

(codex.bbpress.org/moderation-and-blacklisting/)

No answer here? Perhaps a plugin?

sorry its the holidays in the U.S. , we are spending time with families.

there is a plugin though!

This has crippled my site! When can we expect it to work with WordPress 4.1

[jeffpemberton]

I am running bbpress 2.5.4 on WordPress 4.0.1.

I am using bbpress as a private discussion board for each of my life coaching clients. Utilizing “bbP private groups”plugin by Robin Wilson, I basically assign each user to a private group that only them and I are a part of. I then create a Private Forum which I assign as only visible to their private group. Then I am able to have a thread of conversations by topic under each person in which we can respond back and forth.

A couple of my clients are having difficulties when posting replies. It seems that their longer replies are cutting off content when they submit a reply. I have tested and posted extremely long replies, so it is not a length problem. They say that they do not get logged out and the reply submits regularly. But when the page loads, only a portion of the reply is there. I am thinking it may be timing out and only saving what they typed up to a certain time?

Any idea as to why this is happening would be helpful.

[Stephen Edgar]

For example, here, there is NO documentation at all for import options:

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

This has been added for the next release.

a) It would be useful if there was an explanation as to what difference ‘Rows Limit’ and ‘Delay Time’ actually make to the importer. For example, after a search on this forum, I read that one user upped the Rows limit to 10000 and this helped him with a successful import that had previously hung. Why should this be? @netweb suggests 0.1 as a good Delay Time – why? Also, is there a minimum or range of values that are acceptable? For example, would 0.01 an acceptable value and would it make any difference?

The default values are what we think will work for “most users” without causing any issues, if your MySQL instance can handle more frequent and larger queries than the defaults then these values can be changed to reflect that. Many of the of shared hosting packages have limits on how many and how large these database queries can take place per hour, this is why it is relatively low by default.

If you have an incredibly fast MySQL instance you could set the time between queries (delay) to 0.01ms, I’d suggest not though, this allows MySQL to have some “time up it’s sleeve” for any other tasks it may also be needing, you’d hardly notice the difference between 0.1 and .0.01, you do (or at least I do) notice this on large imports when it is set to 1.0.

b) If ‘Start Over’ is not selected, will the importer always try and re-start where it left off if it was previously stopped? How does it know? Does it trawl through all matches and not replicate them until it gets to data that it hasn’t imported?

Yes, the importer will continue from where it left off, we store this is the wp_options database table.

i) Once what is finished? If it hung again then it didn’t finish? Bit confused by this.

I’ll try to get to update these troubleshooting steps to make this a bit clearer.

ii) If one stops and starts the import, why should it continue where it left off? Why should it not hang immediately? Does it continue with the next batch of rows or does it continue with the table row in which it was stopped?

As per above, at each step during import we update this data in the options table so if the import stops when started again it can resume from where it left off.

And yes, it continues with the next batch of rows from where it left off.

iii) If one stops import, logs out, refreshes the page, etc. will import start where it left off?

Yes

iv) Please define ‘hangs’. If the wheel is spinning during, for example, ‘Converting Replies (480000 – 480999) does this mean it is still working albeit slowly?

The ‘wheel’ is always spinning as each step of the importer progresses, if for example it took ~3 seconds to convert the “Converting Replies (470000 – 470999)” replies, you’d find each batch would typically be taking a similar 3 seconds, once you see per your example “Converting Replies (480000 – 480999)” if that has been stuck on that batch for 30 seconds, a minute, 20 minutes that is pretty much a case of the import has stalled.

Hello (especially Stephen!)

Firstly, I must say that I am very grateful that there is a free importer at all! It’s a very valuable addition to bbPress. However, it would be useful if the published bbPress import documentation was just a little clearer and less confusing. Clearer documentation might save people time trawling for responses or firing off questions that are time consuming to answer.

For example, here, there is NO documentation at all for import options:

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

a) It would be useful if there was an explanation as to what difference ‘Rows Limit’ and ‘Delay Time’ actually make to the importer. For example, after a search on this forum, I read that one user upped the Rows limit to 10000 and this helped him with a successful import that had previously hung. Why should this be? @netweb suggests 0.1 as a good Delay Time – why? Also, is there a minimum or range of values that are acceptable? For example, would 0.01 an acceptable value and would it make any difference?

b) If ‘Start Over’ is not selected, will the importer always try and re-start where it left off if it was previously stopped? How does it know? Does it trawl through all matches and not replicate them until it gets to data that it hasn’t imported?

In the troubleshooting guide here:

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/import-troubleshooting/

c) I don’t understand the debug information:

• Once the import hangs, click stop, take a note of where it was up to, e.g. Converting 11,299 – 11,300
• Click start again and the import will continue from where it left off
• If it hangs again, take note of where it was up to again
• Once finished make a fresh copy of the source database

<
/ul>

i) Once what is finished? If it hung again then it didn’t finish? Bit confused by this.

ii) If one stops and starts the import, why should it continue where it left off? Why should it not hang immediately? Does it continue with the next batch of rows or does it continue with the table row in which it was stopped?

iii) If one stops import, logs out, refreshes the page, etc. will import start where it left off?

iv) Please define ‘hangs’. If the wheel is spinning during, for example, ‘Converting Replies (480000 – 480999) does this mean it is still working albeit slowly?

Greetings from Alabama,
I am completely new to bbpress buy not WordPress. The problem I am having is the editor leaves alot to be desired and I have search the forum but solutions seem to be out dated. I have tried multiple plug ins but none seem o mimic the wordpress editor.

looking through the example forums I found one that looked close

View post on imgur.com

from http://tamrielfoundry.com/forums/

Is there a tutorial I can follow to achieve this.

[j0n4h]

Hey again,

Running into some trouble customizing my bbpress forums via the bbpress.css file in the my child theme. I’m unsure if the pathway is incorrect, or maybe the intro to the file itself is incorrectly formatted. I do, however, know I was able to enqueue the custom loop-forums.php correctly with the functions.php properly pathwayed.

So, the pathway to the bbpress.css file is default>css>bbpress.css
In my childtheme, I have the bbpress.css file located avada-childtheme>css>bbpress.css

However, whenever I add code into the bbpress.css file after the

`/*
Theme Name: Avada-childtheme
Theme URI: Your website if you don’t intend to publish a separate site just for your theme
Description: A brief description of your child theme
Author: Jonah Hollis
Author URI: http://www.animusesports.com/
Template: Avada
Version: 1.0.0
Tags: whatever tags you might want to use for your child theme
*/

/* =Theme customization starts here
————————————————————– */
it corrupts the bbpress forums and breaks them. When I delete the file, the bbpress forums resume normal functionality. For the purposes of example, I’ll leave them broken.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

bbpress is not great on mamp or wamp, is this what you mean by localhost.

Hello!

I followed the github recommendations below:

function my_custom_roles( $role, $user_id, $user_role ) {
if( $role == ‘Key Master’ )
return ‘Site Owner’;
return $role;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_user_display_role’, ‘my_custom_roles’, 10, 3 );

And I get this error on my bbpress page:

Warning: Missing argument 3 for my_custom_roles() in /home/belly/public_html/wp-content/themes/kickstart-child/functions.php on line 90

The page does still come up, but this is visible above the author’s avatar.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I’ve tried adjusting the CSS, specifically for the bbpress footer, such as:

.bbp-footer {position:absolute; bottom:0;}

Nothing seems to budge.

The footer on all other pages on the iPad are working fine…

Hello!

I just created a bbpress.php file, which is working smoothly (mostly). The only problem is the footer is raised up with about 100px of white space below it on bbpress pages. This is only happening on the iPad that I can see- not my 1400px screen.

Any thoughts of how to get rid of the white space?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am trying to achieve this (a mockup through Google Dev tools) however I am unable to find where I can actually edit the code behind this, it seems to be hard coded behind a bbpress function – which I personally think is silly if I have to rewrite it just to make it how I want it…

I am gunning to make my installation of bbPress hierarchical in display, however currently it only displays the “Freshness” of the forum.

Can anyone point me into the right direction here?

EDIT: I wasn’t super clear, what I meant to say was – I would like to instead of having “15 hours and 30 minutes ago” with the username, the topic title. I can achieve the rest

Thanks

[chollyjung]

I see css code in reply have display:none.
How can I fix?

[cyclesha]

I guess the best way to illustrate this is:

I installed, activated, etc. Forums. In the back end all seems to be well. In the front end I have nothing other than a 404 Error message. The Forums page on the menu came from bbPress and is not a page I created, published and added to the menu. Since bbPress added it to the menu the problem seems to be like this: You have a piece of paper with text in your left hand and a title in your right hand. How do you get the paper with text to appear under the title in your right hand?

Is this a code issue, a permalink issue or what? Given my extreme lack of expertise I really need someone to give me step by step instruction.

Please check the front end yourself:
