Ok so it now that I am looking at it better is the bbs is working. I thought I would see it in the menu bar but it now appears to be bbpress.org with firefox on my site.
Hi all,
I have just installed bbpress here – forum.I’ve been looking through the forums here and found a few posts relating to the style of PHPBB.
What I am trying to do is have something like the this:
Forum#1
–Sub Forum #1
—-Description
–Sub Forum #2
—-Description
Forum#2
–Sub Forum #1
—-Description
–Sub Forum #2
—-Description
Forum#3
–Sub Forum #1
—-Description
–Sub Forum #2
—-Description
And have topics for each sub forum displayed – hope that makes sense. I’m not too sure about forums & categories so feel free to comment.
I have read about editing the plugin files in a child theme but not too sure how to go about that. I have worked with child themes in WordPress before (and am currently), but is there a ‘plugin child theme’?
Thanks,
Al.
put the following in your functions file
add_filter('protected_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_protected_title');
function ntwb_remove_protected_title($title) {
return '%s';
}
add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
return '%s';
}
Functions files and child themes – explained !
With so little information it is hard to help !
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.
@edooze – as robkk says whilst at first this may seem daunting, it is probably your easiest option.
The issue is not with bbpress, but with your theme, which is not recognising custom post types, and treating them as blog pages.
To fix this you need to modify the file which is displaying pages, and make a copy that bbpress can use.
Since it is a theme compatibility issue, it is likely that any other forum software will have the same issue.
I don’t have any of the plugins mentioned here and have this issue occurring as well.
Definitely a bbpress – WP conflict. We have tested on our vanilla site.
I had to implement fix by Yolle. Thanks for the code.
Hopefull this bug gets fixed in next bbpress update.
@edooze
LOL its not complicated at all at least not so complicated to switch to a different forum
basically it says copy the file page.php and rename it to any of the listed options
plugin-bbpress.php
bbpress.php
forums.php
forum.php
then edit the file and remove the things you dont need in your forum
like the comment count , by post author , post category, and post date that are usally posted on blog posts.
you would need to contact the plugin author about resolving the issue with the bbPress plugin
also make sure that you dont have any of the following problems listed here
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bolcom-partnerprogramma-wordpress-plugin/faq/
other than that try to find an alternative.
Does anyone know why, under the page title, the comment count and author line is showing?
Comments are disabled for the page, but on every page with bbpress on it still shows this line.
If you’re not sure what I’m referring to, the line reads:
“By on in | 0 comments”
it is normally removed by disabling comments in typical WP pages.
TIA,
edooze.
Hi
I am setting up a new BBPRess forum and I have changed the default reply order to descending so new replies begin at the top. So far so good.
However, when a new reply is submitted the user is taken to the other end of the thread rather than to the newest end. Is there a tweak I need to the reverse order code?
this is what I have in my functions:
function custom_bbp_has_replies() {
$args['order'] = 'DESC'; // 'ASC' (Ascending, Default), 'DESC' (Descending)
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_before_has_replies_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_has_replies' );
thanks for any help.
hmm.. as a mod on my test site(as well as on this site) I can trash and spam.
Have you altered any capabilities, or using any plugins that might affect this?
you could try
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.
that might pinpoint the problem.
I’ve turned the plugins on and off and the conclusion is that the bbpress plugin – which are very important for my blog – is causing problems with the bol.com plugin which is also very important for my blog. How to solve this? The developer of the bol.com plugin says: “If the problem is caused by one of the other plugins I am afraid I can not help you any further. You might want to contact one of the developers of the plugin that is causing the problem and send them the information in your console. They will probably be able to help you.”
Can you help me?
Thank you very much
It should ‘hold’ ie stay the same for that screen.
The actual setting is deep within wordpress not bbpress, so sorry can’t say where or what it is !
I’m sorry, I resolved.
I copied and pasted the shortcode from this link.
Well, I copied the teletype tag too!
Thanks!
I have a lot of custom fields I’m using in a particular forum when posting a new topic, and I’m wondering what the best way is to make certain ones required. Similar to how the topic title and topic content are required on a standard forum.
Also, I need to be able to make the topic content not required for the forum as well.
I haven’t found much when searching around the site and Google, but I did find where empty fields are being checked in plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/functions.php (around line 186). I’m just not sure the cleanest/best way to tap into that.
I’ve also debated using something like jQuery Validation, but I’d like the check to be done at the server level if possible. Just to prevent as much spam/malicious intent as possible because this is a public forum.
I appreciate the help!
I’ve discovered another strange bit of behaviour on my bbPress forums that is annoying me. When a page gets up to the maximum number of posts on a page, the Reply field goes over to a brand new page by itself. This is just silly user interface design, as anyone going to the ‘last’ page of a thread just gets the Reply field and not the last post of the thread. To make maters worse, there’s no easy way to get back to that post short of going back to the whole topic, then clicking through to the second-last page of the thread. It’s ridiculous.
here’s an example of what I’m talking about: http://www.orderofgamers.com/forums/topic/a-star-wars-descent/page/3/
So. is there anyway to fix this clunky functionality? Many thanks for any help.
I’m yet not being able to figure this out why the bbpress admin links are not appearing. The tools is not working either. I uninstalled the plugin and installed it again but no luck.
Hi folks. Saw this page, https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vbulletin/
It hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Just wondering if there are any improvements made to this tool?
Some of my concerns are these listed:
1. Custom vBulletin BBCodes are not supported eg. [youtube] – You will have to manually change these yourself either before importing in vBulletin or after importing into bbPress using phpMyAdmin.
2. All ‘Ordered Lists’
will be displayed as numerical lists.
3. You may find extra page breaks <br> and paragraph <p> elements in topics and replies and is less than ideal and is from the way the BBCodes are converted during the forum import conversion. You will find these primarily around ‘blockquotes’ and ‘lists’
In regards to
#1 If I create the exact bbocodes in BBPress prior to the import, I assume this would rectify this area correct?
#2 This is definitely not good. I’m hoping someone knows a trick around this.
#3 Same as above.
since you have custom bbpress templates in your theme
you would have to look at the loop-single-topic.php file in your bbpress folder and compare it to this one which is the plugins version of the file
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ntwb/bbPress/master/src/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php
basically you need this for the started by author avatar
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by' ); ?>
<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_started_by' ); ?>
and this for the freshness author avatar
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_freshness_author' ); ?>
<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_freshness_author' ); ?>
hide the wp-login.php page
you can do a redirection from that login form to the other.
Is there any way to turn off the login form portion of the (bbPress) Login Widget though so that it only displays the profile portion when a user logs in?
this is kind of funny since you dont want the login widget for what it does , but i guess you can use a plugin like jetpacks widget visibility and show it only if users are logged in.
there are a bunch of plugins that do what jetpack widget visibility module does.
like this plugin for example
https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-widgets/
bbPress looks like this by default in a unmodified fresh install with the show topics by freshness shown on the forums root.
i found this function doing a search , i havent tested though.
plop the code into your child themes functions.php file or your functionality plugin
and change 100 to whatever you like
function bbp_increase-forum-per-page( $args = array() ) {
$args['posts_per_page'] = get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 100 );
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args’, ‘bbp_increase-forum-per-page’ );
code is from this topic
Hitting 50 forum limit? What can I do?
the font is light gray because you closed the topic.
add this css anywhere you can add custom css,
also maybe change #000 to whatever shade of black you use for your fonts on your content.
#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #000;
}
