Does anyone know of any way to perform search on single bbpress forums? Has anyone implemented such a search functionality? Any helpful resources you can suggest?

Thank you

To add to the above post, I just tested with default theme and all plugins of except bbPress, BuddyPress and bbp buddypress profile information and the issue persists. Just wanted to rule out any conflicts, since I hadn’t done the first rule of testing plugins.

[Halo Diehard]

Ok, I created the second Label with the same name and it does the same thing.

Then, just as a test, I created another Profile Field with a different name, “Gamertag2”, labeling it in the plugin. To further test, I created a separate Profile Group and made another Profile Field in there, “@mention”. I went into the plugin and labeled that as the fourth one. All the labels show up under the profiles, but none of the info, even though everything is checked to show in the plugin.

It would be SO awesome to have this work. I searched for quite awhile today to find something, and found a thread by Jacob Jacoby from like five years ago talking about integrating BuddyPress and bbPress profile fields! So it’s well overdue to have something for non-coders, and that would be sweet for it to work.

I’ll keep testing whatever you ask, so just let me know how I can help.

Edit: I kept it all set up, so you can see it at the same link above.

Pretty much anything can be done regarding bbPress/BuddyPress integration, they both play extremely well with each other, it is just really a matter of coming up with what you actually want

A couple of recent things that come to mind:

• https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pm-button-in-posts/
• https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-profile-fields-under-avatar-in-bbpress-forum-posts/#post-149983
• https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-not-show-buddy-x-profile-fields-on-bbpress-if-not-filled-in/

To add the @halo-diehard usernames add the following to loop-single-reply.php just after bbp_reply_author_link()

<?php bbp_user_nicename( bbp_get_reply_author_id(), array( 'before' => '<p class="bbp-user-nicename">@', 'after' => '</p>' ) ); ?>

What else did you have in mind?

I have a page named “The Hive” that I placed the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] onto in order to make that my forum index page. However when i go into a forum and then back out via the breadcrumbs at the top of the page, I’m no longer on the “The Hive” page index, but the “Forums” index.

I’m pretty sure I’m doing something wrong, so how can I have it to where…
1) I create a page to host the forum index named “The Hive”
2) When I click into a forum, the breadcrumbs read “Home/The Hive/[Forum Topic]”
3) When I click on “The Hive” in the breadcrumbs, it takes me back to “The Hive” page I created.

Now I am brand new to bbPress and as such, the method I outlined above might not be the way to do it. I’m not concerned with the process so much as the end result which can hopefully be something that doesn’t confuse the visitors when I launch the site.

Hi, I’m attempting to create a general chat page (private for registered users) using bbpress, although not getting very far with it. The goal is to have one chat page where once users are logged in, they can easily make posts in a similar way as they would on a facebook feed page, preferably with the newest posts on top.

I’m using WordPress 3.9.2, and bbPress 2.5.4.

Any advice would be very much appreciated!

[Halo Diehard]

Hello guys! Happy to find this thread, and more than happy to help 🙂

I have a running site and have just tested this. The Label is showing, but the user-entered information for the label is not.

As you can see in the following link, the label is “Gamertag” and if you scroll to AddiCt3d 2CHa0s you will see no gamertag (item) listed, even though it is filled in the profile field.

In settings I was very careful to check and see if there were any spaces, and even that the first letter was capitalized, etc. in both the Name in the plugin and the Name in the BuddyPress profile field and it still won’t work. In settings I’ve elected that both the Label and Item are to be displayed.

Here is an url so you can check it out: http://www.halodiehards.net/forums/topic/hd-shorts/

I am using the most current versions of WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress.

Let me know if I can be of any more assistance!

[Halo Diehard]

Hello, I’ve been searching, and saw mentioned in a post 4 or 5 years old that profile integration between bbPress and BuddyPress might be in the works, but can’t find any recent info or plugins that can help. I’d like some or all of my users’ BuddyPress profile fields to show up beneath their usernames in bbPress forums.

Any links or points in a direction that could be helpful will be appreciated 😀

Also, the @mention functionality on my site is totally unused, since so many users have different display names than their @mentions. I think people would use it if there were at least an option to have that be included beneath their name beside posts, just like it is here at the Official bbPress site.

Hi there,

I have been wandering around for a few days on the internet, spending most of the time as a guest on this bbPress forum.

I am trying to find out a way to expand the very small column containing the bbPress forum in the middle of my website http://2islands.nl/forums/forum/forum-2islands/. To be honest I am a little frustrated to find out kinds of different ways with small pieces of code added here and there in .css and .php files that don’t work for me.

Viewing from what I find in this and other fora, I am not the only one having this problem.

I am not a html programmer, but I can copy and paste very well. 🙂

Can anyone help me get my bbPress on full with (keeping my left sidebar) in a neat way, for instance by editing a bbpress.php file of something like that.

Believe me; i tried at least twenty of the tricks found in this and other fora. Nothing works. Let’s get this over with once and for all :-).

THANKS for any help!

[gogitossj34]

I’m loving bbpress.org layout, especially with the left sidebar. Can anyone post the theme, layout file ?

[Mr.PHP]

Hi all. I’m having some problems importing my phpBB forum into bbPress. My forum is quite big, those are my stats:
Posts: 96807 | Topics: 19192 | Users: 9633

During conversion stops here (13601 – 13700)

What can i do?

Thank u

[Stephen Edgar]

Well there is something else going on, disable all your plugins except bbPress and switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme and do some tests to see if the ‘Voice Count’ and ‘Post Counts’ increment correctly.

[Stephen Edgar]

Check your themes FAQ or ask support for what template you should be using and then use that template to create the bbpress.php file.

[Stephen Edgar]

The importer is included in bbPress, open ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ from your WordPress dashboard.

[Stephen Edgar]

Currently phpBB ‘Topic Views’ are not supported as we do not include support in bbPress to track unread forums or topics.

There are a handful of plugins that add support for this to bbPress listed here, depending on which one you used and the method used a tweak to the phpBB import script could probably import those values.

[Sam Rohn]

you would need to edit bbpress template files to add a unique css class to each bbpress role as well as add custom css, see this article for details –

Solution for: “Oh bother! No search results were found here!”

Forum search does not work in 2.3.2

[tazogamer]

I am almost sure, you have problems inside your theme’s FUNCTIONS.PHP!
find this phrase in your functions.php ( or maybe problem can be inside any other activated plugin):

add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,……………

there maybe set search query customizations, so if there is set/limited the post types, then bbPress post types maybe left out of scope. So, alter that code (i.e. change to something like this:

add_action('pre_get_posts','my_search_filterr');
function my_search_filterr($query) 
{
	if ($query->is_search())   //if ($query->is_main_query())
	{
		$arrs[]='post';
		$arrs[]='page';
		//and etc... 
		
		//Then bbPRESS types:
		$arrs[]='topic';
		$arrs[]='forum';
		$arrs[]='reply';
		$query->set('post_type', $arrs );
		
	}
	return $query;
}

i dont know about listing it but you might be able to highlight them either using this plugin to show only to keymasters or moderators, or modify it to show to everyone

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-new-topics/

or somehow edit this function from here to add labels to each topic post type

http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-highlight-new-posts-for-returning-visitors-in-wordpress/

PHP

function wpb_lastvisit_the_title ( $title, $id ) {

if ( !in_the_loop() || is_singular() || get_post_type( $id ) == 'page' ) return $title;

// if no cookie then just return the title 

if ( !isset($_COOKIE['lastvisit']) ||  $_COOKIE['lastvisit'] == '' ) return $title;
$lastvisit = $_COOKIE['lastvisit'];
$publish_date = get_post_time( 'U', true, $id );
if ($publish_date > $lastvisit) $title .= '<span class="new-article">New</span>';
return $title;
 
}

add_filter( 'the_title', 'wpb_lastvisit_the_title', 10, 2);
 
// Set the lastvisit cookie 

function wpb_lastvisit_set_cookie() {

if ( is_admin() ) return;
$current = current_time( 'timestamp', 1);
setcookie( 'lastvisit', $current, time()+60+60*24*7, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN );
}

add_action( 'init', 'wpb_lastvisit_set_cookie' );

CSS

.new-article { 
background: #feffdd;
padding: 3px;
border: 1px solid #eeefd2;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
margin-left:5px;
font-size: small;
font-weight: bold;
}

or i guess an alternative is get an unread posts plugin like

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-mark-as-read/

which lists all the unread topics in there profile.

[Robkk]

you are using this , which has a custom theme for bbpress

which is mainly for envato marketplace plugin or theme authors support

https://github.com/syamilmj/Supportte

to change the text go to meta-private.php

here is an example

https://github.com/syamilmj/Supportte/blob/61eff729838a28d0b88d6aeab6352a5368687ab8/bbpress/meta-private.php

makes sure you have a child theme , and put the bbpress templates to your child theme so it could be safe for upgrades.

[Clint Mallon]

Hi Robin,

Thank you for your quick reply!! I’m only using bbpress because I don’t need all the added functionality that buddypress provides.

I really need to figure this out and I have searched Google and can’t find the answer to this question. I need the functionality that bbPress Provides but I can’t have people clicking the Login or Register links on that page. It’s very unprofessional to see the WordPress Login screen when everything else is done on the front end of the site.

Is there anyone else that we can get involved on the bbPress team that could maybe help us out with this issue?

Cheers!

[Robin W]

ok, that text is nowhere in the default bbpress that I can find!

Are you just using bbpress or do you have buddypress installed as well?

[Masoud Golchin]

Hi,
thank you robin

i checked this link:
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/bbpress-1-x-buddypress-group-forums/
but it empty!

Do you know how i can find the importer plugin?

[Sam Rohn]

try adding something like this to your child theme css, this will give you a light grey box around the role title, but there does not seem to be a selector to differentiate roles and thus use different color per role

div.bbp-author-role {
	background-color: #eee;
}

otherwise, you can use your browsers web inspector etc to examine any element and use that as starting point to alter appearance of bbpress
