We are not supporting importing form a remote database at this stage, theoritically it shouldn’t be that difficult with the correct access in place, but not at this stage.
It should work fine if you have a copy of your database locally though, most likely this is you didn’t select phpBB from the dropdown menu on the import screen.
Robin: I had a horrid week last week and am still catching up, read through 1/2 of bbPress.org this arvo and I will write a heap of replies tomorrow 😉
There are some details on what and why different status’ are reported depending on if the result is due to “Comment Moderation” or “Comment Blacklist” here:
Moderation and BlackListing
Depending on time, improved support for this may land in bbPress 2.6.
Sktrader, thanks for posting your site. I had a coder set everything up for me a few months ago and I remember the BBPress register/login area looked really naff. Maybe he wasnt such a good coder? We decided to use User Pro, but I didnt like it in the end. We had a User Pro PM plugin and I just remember having so many problems with everything, I took it down in the end and members joined my closed FB group. Am going to look into this more. Not sure what happened with mine but yours looks professional and smart. Thanks a bunch for this.
I have a WP+BBP installation for few months. The forum subscriptions worked well until recently – it sent e-mail notifications for users subscribed in a particular forum or topic as expected. Now it doesn’t send any e-mail. Any other e-mail notifications (user registration, password change etc.) are working well. I tried to create two bare new installations of WordPress with bbPress and no other plugins. It is working like my existing WP+BBP – all e-mail notifications are working well, except the new forum/topic notifications.
BTW, where can I find the subscriptions/notifications setttings? I can not find it. I can just check this one checkbox in Forum Features:
Subscriptions [] Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics
Hi all
I have bbPress installed and everything is working fine.
I would like to use wordpress’s moderation tools.
This post states that bbPress uses the same moderation tools as WordPress.
Moderation and BlackListing
I have entered test words in the moderation text box:
Dashboard > Settings > Discussion > Comment Moderation
If I use these words in a post nothing happens and the post is added to the forum.
I’m logged in as admin and the words are used in the post not comments.
Does the user effect the moderation?
Is the moderation only on comments?
Hey,
I am having the same problems with my oxygen theme as mentioned above!!
I created a forum page with shortcode and choosed there the fullwith template.
This works great:
http://www.curlyhorse.info/forum
- I’ve copied my “page-template-fullwidth.php”
- renamed it as “bbpress.php”
- installed bbPress WP Tweaks
- tried the code for the bbpress.php of Robin W (above)
But the whole forum doesn’t work now anymore with the new code, if you click on a forumpage like “dies-und-das”
Can anyone help??
Thanks a lot!!!!
I have noticed a new problem on the forum, astronomertalk.com,
you need to join to see it, but I changed the submit button,
using this code:
#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #000073;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 2px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}
but it also influenced the update profile button which now looks screwed up…
You need to join to see it, but it looks bad.
Does anyone know a fix.
Thank You,
JB
I also cannot find any forums on your site, I see bbPress is activated though.
Could you add some links that take us directly to your list of forums (and a link to your main forum page) and also a link to a topic.
<a href="http://yoursitename.com/new-topic/">New Topic</a>
this should work after you have done everything in
New Topic Button at top of topic, and Topic Creation on Separate Page
I whole idea of having this forum is having a common place where admin of bbpress forum can chit chat about managing the forum. i appreciate that you guys have provide genuine feedback. Now i am think what the point of having this forum because Mostly Webmaster talks about code and customization and i have limited knowledge regarding that. i think i should abort this forum.
I will say there is a bit of a gap now, between the forum, and the title of site/description, would you know how to make that smaller?
try this, but if you see some weird looking css throughout the rest of your site in that area remove it, Or try to find an alternative.
.content {
padding-top: 5px !important;
}
search forum and topic icons in bbpress search then go from there
they use , the bbpress shortcode for the new topic form.
[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
more shortcodes https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
create a page , lets say “new topic”
add that shortcode, and save
place an html link in loop-forums.php
the link should look like
<a href="http://sitename.com/new-topic/">New Topic</a>
style it with css with
a.bbp-new-topic-button {
background:#009375;
color:#fff;
}
Hey Robkk, thanks for the reply.
1. http://www.highexistence.com/ should be an example of a great looking bbpress site
https://bbpress.org/about/examples/
Totally agree. It’s a beautifully designed site.
2. i want that Hethens Voting plugin that site has .
I’ve been looking for it, so if you find it, please let me know!
3. the reply form below topic post could be there because they are showing the lead topic, and then inserting the reply form after that. not sure i will look at it though.
Again, please let me know if you figure this out! I appreciate it!

saw your site , and see that you have an actions button on each post
i assume you are doing the same thing as my dropdown list for bbpress admin links, or that you took the code from my topic. I think its a great idea , and more help would be great.
As for your site , right now all i can see is that its doing the same thing as this sites support, but i guess if you can come up with some cool ideas and code or i guess some custom themes you could in the future be for bbpress as buddydev.com is for buddypress if you develop some features for bbpress users.
@kris35
i mean the login widget does come from bbpress so why not use it??
I am using bbpress login widget on my website http://www.topics-talk.com/
you could output the bbpress statistics shortcode like this , its in that reply
How to make similar bbpress forum to QuicSprout one?
Hi, I’m trying to display the total posts and topics count on the index page (content-archive-forum).
I know that this works inside a forum, but is there something similar that counts the totals posts / topics ?
Thank you.
and look at the styling crib
bbPress Styling Crib
@indrekhirsnik sorry I don’t know the answer to that one, and the bbPress import guru is I believe away at the moment.
@tomkalili
I can only suggest that you start by setting up a forum, and then come back with any questions you have.
to start you should follow the guides in the documentation
Codex
Ok thats great – thanks. I was using User Pro but I didn’t like it. I kinda remember the BBPress login widget was a bit rough looking but am sure I can get a coder to make it look pretty. Do either of you know if most people with a BBPress forum also use the BBPress login widget or do they use something else?
ok, I’ve just loaded UAM on a twentyten theme with bbpress.
I set up 2 groups
Name Description Read access Write access Role affiliation IP range
partners partners description only group users only group users none none
lock pages lock pages description only group users only group users none none
I then set one page to have lock pages access
I have changed nothing on UAM settings, so these are all default.
With unregistered users, this works fine – all topics and their contents are visible. Until I can re-create what you are getting, it is not worth trying logged in users !
Can you try the plugin without woocommerce just to see if it is UAM & Woocommerce & bbpress that is the issue? and then with twentyten just for a moment.
After that, if no luck, please list what you have for all UAM settings, and I’ll see if that makes a difference.
