Where are you downloading BuddyPress 2.2 Alpha from? bbPress and BuddyPress share (mostly) the same setup for development.

If it is from https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/developers/ via the Development Version .zip link https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.zip then bbPress is the same structure via https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/ and the Development Version .zip link https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip

To get the “full” bleeding edge alpha’s requires quite a bit more setup at your end as bbPress and BuddyPress have recently switched to using a new build process and these are not designed to be run on a live website, only for local development on your local computer, I can point you to the docs for this if that is what you are after though 🙂

Awesome topic tags btw 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

@bepyland If you set the bbPress import rows to 50,000 that would be one single query, it would not work though unless you had one amazing MySQL installation. 😉

What the “rows” value means is how many topics or replies for each single query should be imported at a time, the default is 100, so when the importer is running each single query will import 100 topics at a time.

WordPress itself, and then bbPress also make queries along the way so just counting only bbPress import is not the only calculation needed.

Your best bet is to create a test site to test the import before migrating this to your “live” site:

i think its really like making a plugin for wordress except you use bbpress’s hooks
but i havent gone in too deep in knowing how to create a plugin.

this plugin helps on finding all of bbpress’s hooks
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-visual-hooks/

and im sure information in documentation will help.

Codex

heres some information that i found real quick that i think could help.

Plugins

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 4

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 5

if you need anymore help create a new topic titled “Need Help on bbpress plugin development”

and maybe robin or stephen can help from there.

robin already has tons of plugins made for bbpress
and stephen is one of the core developers

Thank you Robkk, where can I find a tutorial or howto create a plugin for bbpress? I found the bbpress files that I need to edit and I can put my code in, but I think this is not the clean way to do it.

[Robin W]

hmm, these are html’s way of displaying the symbols of the keyboard. They shouldn’t show up.

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.

Hi,

A couple of weeks back, in the widgets area I noticed the bbPress login widgets on test1 and test1-nlcf test1 disappeared from the installed widgets area. I quickly shut down the sites and browser. I then logged in to both test1 and test1-nlcf, and in both installed new bbPress login widgets from the available widgets area. I set the widgets up the same as the ones that disappeared but the result was not the same. Now the login widgets appeared on the mobile version of my site – not only on the website version. I then noticed the bbPress login widgets that dissappeared were down in the unused widgets area. I removed the new login widgets and put the widgets from the unused widgets back where they were. Now the bbPress login widgets only appear on the website version of my site- not on the mobile version, the way the widgets were originally set up.

Now, on test1 and test1-nlcf the bbPress login widgets in the installed widgets area are different from the bbPress login widgets in the available widgets area.

Any help with this issue would be appreciated

Thank you for your time.

We have a team who have been working over summer on a site for English speaking ex-pats living in Germany.
We have chosen a Templatic theme business directory, and have integrated bbPress as a forum. There are some bbPress formatting limitations because of the theme, and we have done our best with CSS to try and make the bbPress part responsive for a mobile. We prefer the newest first comments so make use of the excellent plugin “bbpress-sort-topic-replies”.
We went through a process of evaluating many different forums, including Muut, but in the end good ol’ SEO won the battle, bbPress having nice old-fashioned sitemap entries.
So here it is (feedback welcome)!

well when i look at mycred i see its pretty powerful .

it has a points system and also badges http://mycred.me/add-ons/badges/

heres a link of everthing thats built in

Add-ons

wp acheivements also has built in compatibility with mycred , bbpress, userpro , wordpress, woocommerce, and cubepoints

Their is also another i think completely free plugin called achievements for wordpress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/achievements/

this also has built in compatibilty with bbpress , and i think the plugin developer also is a part of team of developers of buddypress maybe bbpress too but not sure.

I would test out all the free achievement plugins first on a local development server like wamp for windows , or mamp for macintosh and see what suits your needs.

[Icaroferreira]

I have “WordPress”, forum “bbPress”, plugin “UserPro” … And I want to give points, rewards for users of my website, when they share articles, make comments, create forum topic, etc and has appears in his profile for everybody to see (points and medals).

So what should I use ?

Plugin mycred? Plugin WPAchievements codecanyon? or what?

Help me please.

[Robkk]

I want to make sure that there is not an existing alternative before start writing code (I’m not very familiar at writing code for bbpress).

ok alright , some other users want this functionality so it will be great for someone to make it 🙂

[ANTi-CAP]

Hi,

I have been working with WordPress 4.1a BuddyPress 2.2b and would like to try them with bbPress 2.6 and help if possible, just you have in in that dir and the amount of strain trying to right click right click to get all the bare files, can you just zip it for me please??

Sorry I got half way and had to give in.

[tlmoffett]

Okay. I finally got into the wp-content directory and have checked the page templates and found I am using the correct template, but I still can’t see the bbPress sidebar.

[JBBoY]

Thank you again for your response! yes, that’s exactly what I want. But I can’t believe there is not a plugin to do this kind of moderation on bbpress.

Hi all,

I have a WordPress 4 / bbpress plugin installation.
I’d like to the able to insert a table into posts on the forum (like this one here).
Stuff I found mostly concerns either user authentication / MySQL (not what I’m after), or it doesn’t work (using the [table]…[/table] tags).
Could anybody please point me in the right direction, or tell me how to do this?
thanks!

[snecz]

I’ve got the same problem. Fresh install of WP 4.0 and bbPress on localhost and can’t create new topics or reply.

[Robkk]

the ip address is only visible to keymasters and i think moderators too.

stars and medals sounds like an achivement plugin. you can search the wordpress.org plugin repository for one that is compatible with bbpress.

[Robkk]

well isnt the way bbpress forums are structured is

example.com/forums/forum/name-of-forum

so

example.com/forums/forum

would not go any where , or am i missing something

what exactly are you trying to do . put a topic form where??

post pic for example.

[tlmoffett]

I am using WordPress 4.0 and bbPress 2.5.4. My site is http://tomscustomwoodcraft.com using the Aspen Pro theme. I am also using the bbPress WP Tweaks plugin. I have followed the documentation to setup the Forums and that’s working, but when I try to use the sidebar for registration and login nothing shows up. The documentation says to go to the wp-content directory to check the page template(s). I know nothing about coding and I have no idea how to get to wp-content directory. Please help!!

[JBBoY]

Thank you very much Robkk, so then I must assume there is no plugin with these kind of functionalities? I have set moderator privileges to all my forum moderators with certain capabilities (like edit forums, delete forums, etc…) and do not want them to enter the wordpress admin area to ban unwanted users. That’s why I’m searching for a bbpress plugin in order to add these ban capabilities to my moderators only on the bbpress side.

Cheers.

<?php
	if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) ) )
		bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'topics' );
	?>

I had put this code to my template. But how can I change the post_parent Parameter automatik, that the plugin know in wich forum he is and show me the right topics.

Thx

[Stephen Edgar]

See the code I just posted here, add’s the CSS classes without template modifications 🙂

Topic background color depending on role

Also going to close this, rather than others bumping it in the future 😉

[selenii]

Yes, this is for forums/forum but not for forums/forum/bbpress

[Stephen Edgar]

For #3 the user topic and reply counts underneath their role in each topic/reply will be in the next release of bbPress.

And images based on forum roles can be achieved using the same code I just posted here by inserting the image using CSS :before or :after pseudo elements .

[Stephen Edgar]

This should do the trick without any template modifications:

add_filter('bbp_before_get_reply_author_role_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_reply_css_role' );
function ntwb_bbpress_reply_css_role() {

	$role = strtolower( bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ) );
	$args['class']  = 'bbp-author-role bbp-author-role-' . $role;
	$args['before'] = '';
	$args['after']  = '';

	return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_before_get_topic_author_role_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_topic_css_role' );
function ntwb_bbpress_topic_css_role() {

	$role = strtolower( bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) ) );
	$args['class']  = 'bbp-author-role bbp-author-role-' . $role;
	$args['before'] = '';
	$args['after']  = '';

	return $args;
}

It grabs the topic or reply author role and adds another CSS class with prefix bbp-role- so you now have a new set of CSS classes e.g. bbp-role-keymaster, bbp-role-moderator, bbp-role-participant etc that you can then add your custom CSS styles to.

[mattmatt88]

Still need help with that.
Would be really great if bbpress would support Multisite.
