@palmdoc yeah that was the only thing i could have thought of to try it , without making a quicktag button manually , and making it work on bbpress.

[Robkk]

whats your theme?
whats your version of bbpress?
whats your error when you click edit?

to uninstall ,

you first clear forum data by going to tools>forums>reset forums

deactivate , then uninstall in plugins directory

Disabling the plugin leaves the keymaster usermeta fields in the database causing no access to the dashboard.

i dont know how this is happening…

[Robkk]

Is it difficult to do so?

i dont know how jquery works so yes.

but i looked at the plugins info and there is a doc embedder button in the visual editor

so maybe try to enable visual editor in bbpress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

then click enable the full default TinyMCE mode, and see if the google doc button shows up.

@robin-w

ok i was able to achieve a full width forum this way with no template editing.

i downloaded https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/

i went to my original sidebar in my widgets section

i then clicked it open and pressed the new sidebar location link

A window should popup that says “Define where you want this sidebar to appear.”

i then checked a sidebar for selected post types. then i clicked pages, and posts, add whatever else that you may have, but none that are custom post types that are affiliated with bbpress, (topics, forums, replies)

that should do it.

i dont know if any other custom sidebar plugin does this (woosidebars etc.) but i do know this should work.

Hi,

I can’t seem to find documentation on how to remove bbpress. My issue with the plugin is the ‘edit’ feature on posts doesn’t work (I’m guessing reinstalling would fix this). Disabling the plugin leaves the keymaster usermeta fields in the database causing no access to the dashboard. What’s the correct way of doing this?

Hi all

I’m using the default bbPress theme.

I have a forums page thats shows the forums and a search box at the top.

I have a topics page for topics in the forums with no search box at the top.

How do I have a search box at the top of the topics page.

[Robin W]

ok, I’m close to giving up on this – not that I’m not interested in fixing it, but it is just taking too much of my time.

can you post your full current bbpress.php

[Vikram Singh Rana]

Hey I had the same problem and wanted my forum to have a full width looks. I visited your threat and used the code about but it didn’t worked for me. I have tweaked it and it is working for me now. I had the same problem of topics disappearing.

Please use this code, it should work perfectly fine.

<?php

/**
 * bbPress - Forum Archive
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

get_header(); ?>

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

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

	<div id="bbpress-forums">

	<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

	<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

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

	<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>

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

	<?php else : ?>

		<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

		<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'forums' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop',       'topics'    ); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics'    ); ?>

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

		<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'feedback',   'no-topics' ); ?>

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

		<?php endif; ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

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

</div>

	</div><!-- #forum-front -->

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

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Ha! Yes, I was messing about with that yesterday thinking it would solve the issue here but it does not 😉 If you add the bbPress views widget to a sidebar you will see all those views in the gist you linked above, you can also add the shortcode [bbp-single-view id="single-random-topic"] to a page it it will display the ‘topic’ list template with a single random topic.

So it can do all that ^^^, but it will not work as a ‘button’ so you can’t have a button with ‘Click this for a random topic’ 🙁

Something like this should work though:

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/ca87b9b75a42215b2889

function ntwb_bbpress_random_single_topic() {
    if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'orderby' => 'rand', 'posts_per_page' => 1 ) ) ) {
 
        while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic();
 
            ?>
            <a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?></a>
            <?php
 
        endwhile;
    }
}
// Hook into action
add_action('bbp_template_before_lead_topic','ntwb_bbpress_random_single_topic');
// Add it as a shortcode [ntwb-bbpress-random-single-topic]
add_shortcode('ntwb-bbpress-random-single-topic', 'ntwb_bbpress_random_single_topic');

I’m hooking it into just before the ‘lead topic’ (bbp_template_before_lead_topic) in the example above but you could hook that anywhere you would like.

I also add it as a shortcode [ntwb-bbpress-random-single-topic] for use that way.

Make any changes you want to the HTML, I am just doing it as a HTML a anchor link with the permalink bbp_topic_permalink() and the link title as the topic title bbp_topic_title(). Change all that HTML code to a button, remove <?php bbp_topic_title(); ?> and replace with Random Topic or whatever takes your fancy.

bbPress includes two vBulletin importers, one is vBulletin3 for vBulettin 3.x and the other vBulletin is for the 4.x versions.

Did you try the both or only the 3.x version?

[Stephen Edgar]

Typically if you want to reverse the order of replies then also adding bbPress “Show lead topic” is handy:

bbp_show_lead_topic

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool, the timezone thing makes sense if you are going to use explicit times and dates eg. 11th January 2011, though just take a look at this page we are discussing this on here, everything is relative, 12 hours ago, 1 day 7 hours ago etc.

So this is partially the way bbPress works around this issue, if WordPress Core fully supported users locales then we would for sure update bbPress to also include this.’

I found the Trac ticket for WordPress to add this functionality, details are here:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18146

[Stephen Edgar]

I posted here about this, I haven’t taken a look at this feature specificly yet but I do plan on doing just that quite soon.

Profanity filter or notification with Comment Moderation

[Stephen Edgar]

This has nothing to do with bbPress, I’d suggest you try posting on WordPress’ support forums:

@farsite281 Thanks for this though you should submit your translations in the GlotPress project you linked above:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x/ca/default
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/ca/default

Catalan Language

• /dev 43% translated, 466 strings translated, 602 Strings untranslated and 401 strings waiting approval
• /2.5 44% translated, 467 strings translated, 572 Strings untranslated and 160 strings waiting approval

The best resources to help get you started are:

The main transators handbook: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/

The WordPress translator community blog: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/

bbPress translations reference: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

WordPress Catalan project site: https://ca.wordpress.org/

The reason I state that it is best to provide (and update) the bbPress (including WordPress, BuddyPress and Akismet) translations at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects is because each of these projects can have the translations updated as part of WordPress’ “Automatic Updates”, just like you see updates for your plugins and themes, if any of these projects are 100% translated you will be offered to update all of your translations from the WordPress dashboard updates page.

Hello,

I’m trying to modify aspect of bbPress installed in my wordpress. I’ve read diferents posts but I can’t find the solution.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

I need to change aspect buttons in bbPress because of font color and layout are similar and you can’t distinguish them.

Could anyone help me or give me a clue to resolve this issue?

I use Rush theme and wordpress 3.9.1

when user click on option1.1 list all topics and user can post new topic. i want top 5 recent topics from option1.1,option1.2,option1.3,option1.4.

thnks..

[Robkk]

which one would you suggest?

i have no idea , i have no opinions on any of them since i havent tried any of them.
You can try each one on a local site if you want and make your decision off that.

But what i can say is that this rating plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget/

is on https://codex.bbpress.org/feature-plugins-tracking/

and it also has some integration with bbpress.

Basically I want it to show up in only a few of my subforms next to the bb codes on top ^^^

I have no idea how your going to show the ratings on a few subforums , your probably going to need help on that too, (i have no idea how to help you on this)

@robin-w

ok this works great when i tryed it on a default theme.

but on my custom bbpress theme , i seperated each item in the bbp_get_reply_author_link code and wrapped them in a class so i could better position each item.

so im using

<div class=bbp-reply-author-av><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => 'avatar' ) ); ?></div>

<div class=bbp-reply-author-name><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => 'name' ) ); ?></div>

<div class=reply-author-role><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?></div>

now i have 3 avatars, 3 author links, 3 author roles displaying on 1 reply now.

how should the code be if i dont want to mess with the args and i just want to display this..

<div class=reply-author-role><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?></div>

if the display user in the reply is only a keymaster and a moderator.

something kind of like this but where it actually works for my bbpress custom theme.

<?php 
$displayed_user = bbp_get_reply_author_id() ;
$role = bbp_get_user_role( $displayed_user);
if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster($displayed_user) ||$role == 'bbp_moderator');

 echo " <div class=\"reply-author-role\">";
	
	echo bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) );
	
	echo "</div>";
	
        else {

}
?>

I am trying to import a rather large VB4 Database into bbpress and out of curiosity I attempted to import using the built in tool that gave me the option to import a VB3 database. It looks like a lot of stuff actually did import correctly but none of the threads have any replies. Their all single posts.

I understand that the tool wasn’t meant to work for that version in the first place but I can’t seem to find any help with importing VB4 other than a plugin a company has and they quoted me $2,000 because of the size of my community. (Yikes!)

Anyone have experience with this or can point me in the right direction to getting everything to import correctly and make this migration happen?

[Robin W]

bbpress sets the post_type =
array( bbp_get_forum_post_type(), bbp_get_topic_post_type(), bbp_get_reply_post_type() );

so if post type = that, then you know you are in a forum search, so you could add a line in your filter to check if $query->post_type equals array( bbp_get_forum_post_type(), bbp_get_topic_post_type(), bbp_get_reply_post_type() ) then just return query?

[Stephen Edgar]

Things look correct now, did you fix this?

If not please give specific links to show what your issue is, you have too many topics and forums for me to guess which one you are talking about.

Have you run any of the repair tools to see if they fix the issue?

https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

Also, WordPress doesn’t support multiple timzezones for users so this is not included with bbPress for that reason, they appears to be a few plugins that might be able to do this though I haven’t seen any that are compatible with bbPress, but you could have a look yourself.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the explanation and it’s all good, I’m with you now, the Firmasite theme uses modified templates and thats where the ‘details’ link comes from.

Kind of a weird issue though, I’d double check that it is not an issue with the Firmasite theme, try switching your theme to Twenty Fourteen with bbPress and NextGEN Gallery enabled and see if the issue persists.

hello i got error when i install bbpress i can’t Over to Forum ! after install !
