you could add a link to the login widget , but you have to do this every upgrade.

if you dont want to do that there is also 2 other solutions to this too in the link

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Robkk]

you need to make a bbpress.php file , edit out number of comments and whatever is calling the continue reading link.

then your forum archive should look normal after that.

@robin-w

idk what your talking about here when its all about a placeholder, that only a user can see if there logged in, you might be over-thinking it when you say this or you reply your information to the wrong topic that this user has.

Maybe this??

Customizing "Reply To Topic" Area

@marximusmg

i actually got a placeholder in my reply area , but you will lose the quick tag toolbar by doing it this way.

in form-reply.php replace

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content' ); ?>

					<?php bbp_the_content( array( 'context' => 'reply' ) ); ?>

					<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_form_content' ); ?>

with this

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content' ); ?>

					<textarea placeholder="Reply..." id="bbp_reply_content" tabindex="104" name="bbp_reply_content"></textarea>

					<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_form_content' ); ?>

heres a snippet of form-reply.php with the code inserted

<div class="bbp-template-notice">
						<p><?php _e( 'Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
					</div>

				<?php endif; ?>

				<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' ); ?>

				<div>

					<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'anonymous' ); ?>

					<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_form_content' ); ?>

					<textarea placeholder="Reply..." id="bbp_reply_content" tabindex="104" name="bbp_reply_content"></textarea>

					<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_form_content' ); ?>

					<?php if ( ! ( bbp_use_wp_editor() || current_user_can( 'unfiltered_html' ) ) ) : ?>

						<p class="form-allowed-tags">
							<label><?php _e( 'You may use these <abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr> tags and attributes:','bbpress' ); ?></label><br />
							<code><?php bbp_allowed_tags(); ?></code>
						</p>

I have the latest WP installed with OptimizePress 2, Buddy Press and BBpress (latest versions) installed. I am building the forums in the private section of a membership site.

I am having issues with the Breadcrumb links.

I used method 2, a page for the forums index with short code. The forums display properly.
>> http://www.imstudy.club/forums-welcome/

Then when I click on each forum it goes to the correct page, I have set-up “Content Aware Sidebars” to show widgets in the sidebar and the forums in the content area. It works.

Now when I am on one of these forums the breadcrumb shows:
IM Study Club’s Public Home › Forums › Site Feedback

The link “Forums”, is the Forum root and it goes here:
http://www.imstudy.club/forums/

That’s a Blog Archives page with a link “continue reading” going nowhere.

How can I have this “Forums” link in the breadcrumb go to my custom page “forums-welcome” instead.

I have tried to change the name of the root forum to match the page, but it doesn’t works, always get the blog archives page… I also tried to redirect, but got a loop.

Any idea?

Thank you very much for your help.

Michel

Hi,

Thank you for responding. Sorry I couldn’t get back to you for so long.

I don’t use breadcrumbs in my website. I use a custom menu with one of the menu items being the forum. The forum is navigated using bbpress breadcrumbs.

The page title would be ‘No Labels Community Forum’ and in breadcrumbs it would be N L C F

Thank you for your time

Jerry

I posted it here because the sign up is by the bbpress widget using this code [bbp-register]

and before I was having an issue which is many users with weird names and emails are registering with my websites and I have been told to use captcha so a real person can sign up only but now even with capthca I am having spam users idk how!

knowing that I am the only admin and I changed my pass and email several times and didn’t work

The way profiles are shown requires some coding – would a menu item do you?

Kevin,

How I hate the toolbar – it should only be seen by admins

add the following code into your functions file

add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');

Functions files and child themes – explained !

Hi,

is there a short code to display the users profile?

After reading the documentation and working with bbpress the only way a user can see their profile is if they have already created a topic or replied to a topic.

Some users only want to favorite a few topics. However they can not see their favorites unless they can see their user profile.

Included is a screen shot of what is wanted.

Hi,

been working with bbpress, read through all the documentation and a lot of googling, and need to know how to hide the WordPress User bar when the user is logged in. bbpress is being used along with WooCommerce. The goal is to have a single login for members to have access to the forums.

Included is a screen shot.

Hi,

I have a forum on my domain.com

I also have a forum on sub.domain.com

I would like to copy all the topics and replies from domain.com to sub.domain.com, and afterwards 301 redirect all the topics from domain.com to the new link on sub.domain.com (i.e. domain.com/topic1 redirect to sub.domain.com/topic1).

Can anyone explain how to best do this?

Thanks!

Hey, how i can disable this option in bbpress forum settings; Disallow editing after x minutes, if i type 0 or leacve it blank, it still uses default setup (5 minutes)?

WordPress version 3.9.2–fi
bbPress Version 2.5.4
My site

[mostlyjan]

nah. never heard anything from anyone or support and could not get this to work. Test emails work but nothing else. Tried everything. We are dumping this bbpress and will look for something that works and/or has support. Very disappointing. Hope you get yours to work.

[Tom Dyer]

I’ve recently run a forum import from phpBB to bbPress and for the most-part it went very well. I am however having some problems with the Repair scripts – namely the:
“Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum” tool.

Running this doesn’t seem to update the freshness on the Forums, they’re all displaying dates in 2013, when I know that most of them had activity on or around 27th Aug 2014 (which is when we turned off the phpBB forum).

Does anyone know the cause of this – or have any ideas how we can brute-force the update of the dates?

[K-Path]

First I used method 2 and the page only rendered part of the Welcome text. The shortcode didn’t work.
[bbp-forum-index]

I then switched to Twenty Ten theme and the short code to produce the page Forums worked perfectly.

So this incredibly beautiful theme I’ve been grooming into the hub for my organizations activities doesn’t work with bbPress.:-(

[Robin W]

Can I export the entire site from inside the backend as a superadmin? Or do I need phpMyAdmin to do it?

I’d use phpmyadmin, rather than wp import/export, as the you know you’ve got everything

This is my first time with a forum, and I have been warned that nothing has been updated in a REALLY long time.

what version of bbpress is it running?

My biggest concern is the privacy – I am assuming that the forum settings are set to private?

once you got it in, you cam make it private quite easily if it isn’t already. Private forums are hidden from you unless you are logged in.

I go to the track:
Wp-content / languages
Create a folder named:
bbpress
Then enter the folder to the path becomes:
Wp-content / languages ​​/ bbpress
.
Translations and upload files
Athar said the concept was not my Arabic interpretation and use translate.google

[vipnt]

Je vais à la piste:
wp-content/languages
Créer un dossier nommé:
bbpress
Puis entrez dans ce dossier pour le chemin devient:
wp-content/languages/bbpress
.
Fichiers de sous-titres et Ascenseur
Athar a déclaré que le concept n’était pas l’explication parce que mon arabe et utiliser translate.google

Hi,

I’m looking to import a phpBB v3.1.10 forum to bbPress and just wanted confirmation on what exactly can be imported using the built in import forums tool in bbPress.

From what i can tell all forums and posts are imported along with users, so that users can log on to bbPress using their original phpBB logon details.

What about images in posts?

Am I correct that only images that are inline ones are imported with the posts? Images added as attachments to posts are NOT imported?

The phpBB forum that I wish to migrate to bbPress can be found here:

Thanks for your help!

Wordpress version : 3.9.2
bbPress version:2.5.4

[Kermit51]

Hello,

Wordpress version : 3.9.1
bbPress version:2.5.4

When i translate the plugin in french, the forum translation works but install the translation broke the admin part.

I can’t publsh any article or access to the parameter, i have a “server problem” when i try to access these part of the admin.

To translate the forum i sent the .mo in : /wp-content/languages/plugins.

Thank’s for your help.

NB: Sorry for my english, if some point are not clear dont hesitate to ask me more information/explanation.

[K-Path]

I used Method 1
a. In Dashboard>settings>forums look for what is set in the forum root under the forum root slug heading. The default is ‘forums’ but you can set this to anything

b. In Dashboard>settings>permalinks check that the common settings check is set to ‘postname’ If it isn’t and you don’t want to change it, then use method 2.

Now just create a wordpress page that has the heading that was found in a. above eg if the root slug is ‘forums’ create a page with the title ‘forums’, and save.

Once the permalink has been created, you can rename the page to whatever you wish eg ‘mysite forums’ (as the permalink will stay the same, and it is this permalink that bbpress looks for)

Save this page, add it to a menu if you are using custom menus, or decide its order if you have automatic menus. Then publish it to your site.

Job done!

I don’t know what information you need to help me. All I know is that when I publish a forum I can see it for example . . .
http://ecopsi.org/forums/forum/general-discourse/

But when I follow the breadcrumbs to home of the forum I get a totally useless page from which I can’t get to any forums. If you look you can see that there is some text that suggests there are other forums but no live links to them. Can you think of what is wrong?
http://ecopsi.org/forums/

Thank you for trying to help Robin.

[Robin W]

ok, lets work this through

You say you’re a superadmin – does this mean its a multi-site installation? they’re not my forte, but if this is just a single site then….

First of all bbpress is a plugin, so you’ll still need wordpress (and it holds the users), and since the existing theme has all the styling that you users are used to, then it would be sensible to use that as well.

So in effect what you need to do is just import a full copy of the installation, and then take out the pages and posts, and you have a forum without the rest of the site !

Since you have a test site, then follow the guidance in

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

and then just go into posts and pages to delete those (apart from the forum page), and amend the custom menu if you have one.

[Robin W]

Not sure why you would be getting this, 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.
