[Matoca]

Stephen,
Sorry for the poor explanation. On each topic post or reply, next to the author’s name is Details. Clicking that opens a menu of items, more for the moderators, less for non-registered users. This gives me options like the IP number, the post number, the date, Edit, Close, Split, Stick, Merge, Trash, Spam, Reply. I use this, and so do my moderators, to spam posts simply. I also use it to split topics off from the parent. Details would not open yesterday, I wanted to split a topic, but couldn’t.

Interestingly enough, I also simultaneously had a new problem with a NextGEN HTML5 slideshow playback on the forum pages not loading which I have also been trying to fix (following a NextGEN upgrade.) Today I changed the settings on the slideshow to Flash playback to see if that worked, it did, the slideshow plays.

And now, the Details are working again in the replies. So this is not a bbPress problem, at least I don’t think so. Something is funky with HTML5, whether it is just NextGEN or something on the server (PHP version?), well I can’t figure that out yet. But trying to load the HTML5 slideshow did mess with the Details display.

Sorry to bother you,
my best, Matoca

On individual topics and replies, this is not possible without additional coding, and I’m not aware of any.

The ‘normal’ way would be

For participants (we are talking bbpress roles here eg participant, moderator, keymaster etc. rather than wordpress roles editor, author etc., as bbpress restricts to bbpress roles )

then create a forum, set it’s status to private, and put all topics in there

For author, editor set these people to be moderators under bbpress, and again set a forum up, but this time set it to hidden, and put topics (and replies) in there

unfortunately that is not the answer I wanted to hear. =P

its the right answer though.

check out these other threads

Pagination issue when threaded replies are enabled

Here are some quotes from developers of bbpress

This is the way this feature is currently designed. Hierarchical pagination is quite challenging to tackle; WordPress provides some help with this, but it wasn’t built into our first pass, and no work has gone into improving it since.

This is actually by design, when reply threading is activated pagination is disabled.

its possible though , i see this site is running bbpress, has threaded replies and pagination.
But it all might be custom development.

I have entered 10 under the Topics and Replies Per Page in Forum Settings. Yet, my most popular topic is showing a total of 143 replies on one page. Any ideas?

Wordpress: 3.9.1

@louisedade Thanks, we have a ticket somewhere in our bug tracker Trac that relates extremely close to what you are looking for, it is slated to be looked at for the next release of bbPress 2.6. Basically bbPress and BuddyPress each do their own hidden and private things differently and as a result of that there are a handful of permutations and combinations we need to tweak and fix so they work as expected.

[Stephen Edgar]

Is this what you are referring to?

Edit: There is another option that works, quite a different approach though, but it does make for quick replies to topics and that is to use the bbPress-Reply-by-Email plugin, setup topic notifications for yourself and reply pretty quickly using your favorite own email client.

[Stephen Edgar]

Make sure you do not have any plugin conflicts by disabling them all except bbPress, also make sure the settings is enabled in bbPress settings.

[Stephen Edgar]

Check the URL’s you have in the bbPress login widget, I suspect they are incorrect.

[Stephen Edgar]

Make sure your users are triggering any ‘bad words’ in WordPress comment moderation.

Moderation and BlackListing

[Stephen Edgar]

If you only want to have a forum on that site install WordPress and bbPress in the domain forums.example.com. If you want to have separate blog and forum you should look at WordPress Multisite using sub domains, your forums would be the 2nd site at forums.example.com and your WordPress blog would be at eaxample.com.

A good starting point is https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

[Stephen Edgar]

You can also post on http://jobs.wordpress.net/ if your looking for a WordPress/ bbPress developer.

[Stephen Edgar]

I am not sure what you mean, bbPress does not include any links titles details

Could you explain it in more detail please, maybe some screenshots if that will help and/or a link to your forums.

[Stephen Edgar]

This is a theme issue, you should make a copy of your page.php file and rename it bbpress.php in your themes folder.

[Stephen Edgar]

You copy the files to /mytheme/bbpress as stated in the links above.

You also should change your template as I suggested above, that is the primary cause of your issue I think.

[Stephen Edgar]

See the following https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

Should the admin get an email when a post goes into moderation if I have E-mail me whenever A comment is held for moderation selected in the Settings > Discussion.

I have no idea 😉

bbPress is not currently doing this, nor have I got to the this bit in the recent code updates I have written. This is probably something we would want to iterate on further once the changes we have been making as linked above in #2589 and ‘Per forum moderation’ in #459 and how we handle notifications for not just keymasters but also specific forum moderators also.

[Stephen Edgar]

This I’d think (I don’t use Facebook) would be an issue for whatever plugin you are using for sharing to Facebook. Rather than just picking up bbPress topic title it is grabbing more than it should.

[Robkk]

are you using a child theme ?? with bbpress.css in your child theme??

cause what i might think is that you have put bbpress.css into your child theme a long time ago

but the bbpress plugin updated their css with a repsonsive layout and you just dont have that code in your child themes bbpress.css

if im right , you can just check out the bbpress plugin and copy styles to your child themes bbpress.css

[Robkk]

@tonydes child theme

you put it either one i guess,

i copy most of my code into my custom css editor in my theme because it works automatically for me

but if i have to put the code into my bbpress.css in my child theme , i have to add !important alot

[Indrekkor]

So the post appears in “Activity”, but not in other views ? (general forum view etc.)

This is probably not a bbPress problem, but it is caused by a plugin you use for cacheing.

You could always turn-off whatever plugins you are using (not neeed for forum to lose functionality) and then see if everything is OK.

ok, so what happens at the moment is that the bbpress.php calls the footer.php at the bottom of it.

The footer in turn calls the sidebar (this is an annoying habit that theme developers have started doing, sidebars should be called in theme pages not in footers aggghhh!).

so what we’ll do in bbpress.php is simply take out the call to the footer, and put the footer code minus the sidebar into the bbpress.php

so in bbpress.php remove the line which says

<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>

Then put this code in it’s place

</div><!– .content-wrap –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_main’ ); // oxygen_close_main ?>

</div><!– #main –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_main’ ); // oxygen_after_main ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘before_footer’ ); // oxygen_before_footer ?>

<div id=”footer”>

<?php do_atomic( ‘open_footer’ ); // oxygen_open_footer ?>

<div id=”footer-content” class=”footer-content”>

<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( ‘footer_content’, hybrid_get_setting( ‘footer_insert’ ) ); ?>

</div>

<?php get_template_part( ‘menu’, ‘subsidiary’ ); // Loads the menu-subsidiary.php template. ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘footer’ ); // oxygen_footer ?>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_footer’ ); // oxygen_close_footer ?>

</div><!– #footer –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘after_footer’ ); // oxygen_after_footer ?>

</div><!– .wrap –>

</div><!– #container –>

<?php do_atomic( ‘close_body’ ); // oxygen_close_body ?>

<?php wp_footer(); // wp_footer ?>

</body>
 </html>

Come back with what that does !

heres is a straight link to where you need to be, but reading the whole page isnt bad too

[Robin W]

ok, could be a number of issues

start with theme and plugin as 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.

Then look at the documentation to see what else you might need to do

[WackyRuben]

Hi!

I installed the BBpress plugin to my wordpress site http://www.wacky.no

I added a new forum (unable to see categories..maybe thats the problem?)
I added a new topic..

But when i save – and visit forum its only a black screen http://www.wacky.no/forums/forum/wacky-forum/

What do i do wrong?

[dice2dice]

I found a better solution that the one I was using whilst searching the BBPress Plugin forums. ‘bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab’ – works much better, though I can’t get it to upload images at present, but atleast there are other image embeding options for bbPress.
