I’ve updated the plugin to include a (very basic) paypal payment feature and the ability to mark topics as “accepted”. You have to manually update the topics when payments come in, I don’t have enough time to make any sort of PayPal IPN integration.

Code has been updated here: https://github.com/dtbaker/bbPress-Support-Forums ( warning, my paypal address is hard coded into includes/bbps-vote-functions.php )

Screenshots:

Main forum page, it sorts topics by “funds” then “accepted” then “votes”.

Admin topic page: you can vote, mark topic as accepted, and manually update payments.

User topic view, can vote (when logged in) and pay:

Hi,

Thanks @robin-w for a great plugin.

I have some additional requirements – do you know of a way in bbpress (possibly in conjunction with bbp-private-groups) which gives:

– ability for a user to be set up as a ‘private group moderator’
– the moderator from above can grant access to users who have requested access to a private forum (if this is possible without the need for them to log in to wp-admin that’d be great)

The bbp-private-groups plugin does the private forum (group) stuff but does not allow for moderation of users by other users.

This would be an amazing added feature.

thanks
gvanto

Thanks. I’m just using one .bbpress .site-content because I’m keeping the right sidebar. Whenever I use the @media screen piece, it just chops off what’s below it. But yes, it does seem like it’s needed. The first other person to test said that the title of the page is cut off just a little bit on the left side, where as on my end it seems like there’s plenty of space.

This is all the custom CSS if it makes a difference:

.site,
.site-header {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
	background: none repeat-y right 0;
	padding-right: 0;
}

.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.form-allowed-tags {
	display: none;
}

div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
	width: 100% !important;
}

.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 182px !important;
}

And this is it after I add the @media screen tag (notice it just cuts off the rest):

.site,
.site-header {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
	background: none repeat-y right 0;
	padding-right: 0;
}

.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
	max-width: 100%;
}

.form-allowed-tags {
	display: none;
}

div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
	font-size: inherit !important;
}

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
	width: 100% !important;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {

[Robkk]

bbPM was for the standalone version of bbPress , its outdated and will not work for the current version of the plugin.

[Robkk]

try this and make sure its above the other .bbpress .site-content {

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {
.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 182px !important;
}

[bsilverop]

I didn’t notice this before, but the problem seems to be that when I try and save anything with the @media statement, it ends up saving it like what’s shown below (notice the missing margin-right and margin-left) no matter how many times I fill in the missing lines and re-save. I suppose it’s an issue with the CSS plugin (JetPack Custom CSS), but from what I understand that file is stored in the database and generated dynamically and cannot be modified directly. So I’m not too sure how I can add this otherwise.

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
.bbpress .site-content {
	
}

[G-SCO]

I am using bbPress 2.5.4 on WordPress 4.0.

I have added in the bbPM plugin by uploading it to my WordPress Plugin file through FTP. I can see the bbPM plugin on the Plugins page in the WordPress Dashboard but when I try to activate it I get the following error:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_load_plugin_textdomain() in ../wp-content/plugins/bbpm/bbpm.php on line 20″

I looked through this forum and found some suggestions of adding bbPM into a “my-plugins” folder inside the bbPress folder and now that I have done this, the bbPM plugin no longer shows up on the Plugins page.

I made sure both the my-plugins folder and the bbPM folder had 755 permissions but bbPM still will not appear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

@bsilverop

well i just checked and its almost there,

you have space on the left whenever you go to a smaller screen size so you probably need to bring back the @media statement so there is space for the left sidebar when it reaches 1008px but none when its on a smaller than 1008px.

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
	width: 100% !important;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 182px !important;
}

.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 0 !important;
}

i think your full width forum should be done now

[bsilverop]

Thanks, removing @media screen and (min-width: 1008px) and adding !important seems to have worked. The forum now resizes to fit the page if you go to a smaller screen size. I appreciate the help from both @robin-w and @robkk. I didn’t expect support like this, I really am grateful. Thanks again!

Solution:

1) Copy page.php and rename bbpress.php. Remove <?php get_sidebar( 'content' ); ?> as I want to extend beyond the content sidebar.

2) Add CSS:

#bbpress-forums {
	font-size: inherit !important;
	width: 100% !important;
}

.bbpress .site-content {
	margin-right: 0 !important;
	margin-left: 182px !important;
}

[Robkk]

@robin-w 🙂

@bsilverop well you can try adding !important to it too, or removing the @media screen and (min-width: 1008px)

i just took it right off of inspect element.

but for sure keep the margin-right:at zero pixels because that is where your old sidebar use to be.

if all still doesnt work change .bbpress to #bbpress-forums

reply back if you havent got it yet.

[Robkk]

you can use this to add links to the edit profile section of your profile in the menu.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

you can then use this to just lead to just the profile

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_pro_link' );
function my_nav_menu_pro_link($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_login ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/">Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
 
}

then you can just create a link to your topics archive by going to the menu section and adding a link to the menu with the link being yoursite.com/topics

[Robkk]

change the width from 150% to just 100%, if you go to a smaller screen size the forums are cut-off.

use this and see if it works

@media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0;
margin-left: 182px;
}

Just want to add my notes in updating from dinosaur version 0.9.0.7 to 1.2 for anyone going thru the process. Follow the steps in https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/updating/ (shown below).

At step four, these additional steps need to happen:

4-b) In bb-includes on the server create a drectory called backpress. Copy all the backpress files from the download of “backpress-1.2-bbpress\includes”. Copy the folder “schema” to \\bb-includes\backpress\ on the server.

4-c) In /bb-includes/backpress/ on server create a folder called “pomo”. Copy the 5 files from the download of “Glotpress pomo” into it.

Updating

These instructions cover upgrading to version 1.2

• First, you should always back up your files and your database in case something goes wrong.
• Second, deactivate all plugins.
• Third, keep the following files and directories.

  bb-config.php
  my-plugins/ (if you have it)
  my-templates/ (if you have it)
  my-languages/ (if you have it)
  also backup your existing .htaccess file if you have modified it, then delete everything else.

• Fourth, upload the newest version of bbPress to your server.
• Fifth, log in and visit your bbPress admin area. If you see an upgrade link instead of the normal screen, click it. If you don’t see an upgrade link (it would have been really obvious), continue to the next step.
• Sixth, visit the new “Settings” area of the admin and edit any details or settings in the “General” section. Also visit the “Permalinks” section to regenerate your .htaccess file if necessary. Also reactivate your plugins one by one (some may need to be upgraded as well).
• Seventh, sit back and relax; you’re done!

These downloads are for legacy versions of bbPress and are no longer in active development but still available for download if you’re feeling nostalgic. You can find the WordPress plugin bbPress here
bbPress 1.2

The latest 1.x stand-alone version of bbPress is 1.2 (.zip / trac / svn)

The latest bbPress 1.2 specific BackPress package is backpress-1.2-bbpress (.zip / trac / svn)

(You will also need the GlotPress ‘pomo’ folder from here.)

Hello

I am ned with bbpress and i have some issues

1- how to make forums link like this

http://www.mysite.com/forums ?? becouse the link now like this http://www.mysite.com/?post_type=forum

2- how to make the forums on full page like this site http://www.ar-wp.com/forums/ ??

3- what is the required plugin to make my bbpress like this site http://www.ar-wp.com/forums/ ?

thank you

[bsilverop]

It did indeed muck up other areas of the site. But I combined the two you sent and this seems to work:

#bbpress-forums {
	width: 150% !important;
}

Can you see any reason why this wouldn’t be ideal? The only thing I’ve noticed so far is that when testing on a large monitor, the footer has a lot of empty space at the bottom (only on the forum pages). Otherwise it looks to be working ok on my laptop, I’m just concerned it might not for others. Thanks again!

[swammy05]

Yes, that makes sense.

I did find this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2685

Is that a core fix that has not been made? My bbpress is up to date

[Robin W]

ok, in your theme css add this at the bottom

#bbpress-forums .content-area {
width: 150% !important;
}

My css is lousy, so if this doesn’t work, come back !

Hello,

Previous problem
Yesterday I was having trouble fixing the template for the forum index (Troubleshooting post here)

Now I’ve fixed that, I seem to have another problem (though I’m not sure if it existed before I fixed the index).

My current problem

Topic pages are not appearing. They appear as links on the indexes, and I can create new ones, however if I click them, I am taken to a page of a messed up template (elements scattered everywhere). Something appears very broken somewhere. As soon as I create a new topic, it posts it with a title (eg: websitename.com/forum/topics/turquoise-curtains-4-11-14)
However, when inspecting the source code, none of the content of the post is there.

Question

Has this been encountered by other users?
Does anyone have any pointers on how I can go about troubleshooting this problem?

[Robkk]

@atfpodcast yeah thats what people usually say there.

try just switching to bbpress bbcode with the whitelist plugin

and also bbpress direct quotes.

the bbcode plugin just turns basic html into shortcodes , so its still fine even though it is 2 years old.

but remember to use it with the whitelist plugin too so that other users cant post the bbpress login shortcode and other unwanted shortcodes you dont want in bbpress posts/wordpress comments/buddypress activity/buddypress private messages.

bbpress direct quotes wont quote as fast as gd bbpress tools quotes but it still works fine too.

[Robin W]

can you humour me and 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.

Hi,

I have searched about for any matching issues but come up short – I have a Buddypress private group with its own bbPress forum. As a site admin I can see the forum topics posted in this forum in the bbPress recent topics widget on the home page of the site, but group members (regular forum participants) cannot see the content of this widget unless they are actually on the forum page.

Is this a permissions issue? How can I show group forum topics in this widget to regular users?

Thanks.

[atfpodcast]

[atfpodcast]

I don’t know if any one else can see this but the links are to close and don’t have a space to separate the words. For example the Subscribe link. See screen shot

Hi,

We had a custom forum created through a .NET application. Its a legacy application built in 2006.
Now client is migrating to wordpress / bbpress. For forum migration I have created a application to import data from .NET application (Sql Server database) in a format where I can use mingle importer to import.

The tables we have created are wp_forum_forums, wp_forum_threads; wp_forum_posts;

Table definition are
CREATE TABLE wp_forum_forums (
id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(4000) NOT NULL,
parent_id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
description text,
sort int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=32 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE TABLE wp_forum_posts (
id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
parent_id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
subject varchar(2000) DEFAULT NULL,
author_id bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
text mediumtext,
date datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_forum_threads_idx (parent_id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_user (author_id),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_forum_threads FOREIGN KEY (parent_id) REFERENCES wp_forum_threads (id),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_posts_wp_user FOREIGN KEY (author_id) REFERENCES wp_users (ID) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=69731 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

CREATE TABLE wp_forum_threads (
id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
parent_id bigint(20) NOT NULL,
starter bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
subject varchar(4000) DEFAULT NULL,
status varchar(100) NOT NULL,
date datetime NOT NULL,
last_post datetime NOT NULL,
closed varchar(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_forum_forums_idx (parent_id),
KEY fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_users_idx (starter),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_forum_forums FOREIGN KEY (parent_id) REFERENCES wp_forum_forums (id),
CONSTRAINT fk_wp_forum_threads_wp_user FOREIGN KEY (starter) REFERENCES wp_users (ID) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=9303 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Through our custom code we populated these tables.

Everything works fine, but while importing the wp_forum_posts (which has got 69K records) the importer hangs between 35600 to 35699. I tried atleast 5 / 6 times but same result every time.

Can you kindly help us in this?

Thanks and Regards
Bidhan
