Also you can export Forums, Topics, and Replies using WordPress Export (Tools -> Export)
You could then export updated topics and replies and import them again into your other install.
The issue of needing to use the a custom importer that you added a comment on in #2605 is to maintain legacy user meta.
I’m not sure how ‘duplicator’ works but if it sync’s the database it should be fine to sync bbPress’ forums, topics and replies as they WordPress ‘Custom Post Types’, topic tags are a taxonomy and users are users.
So presuming Duplicator is copying/replication WordPress’ posts and pages which are stored in wp_posts and wp_postmeta adding support for bbPress should ‘just work’ if Duplicator supports custom post types.
okay so i have found a great post rating plugin
with a simple count , with just vote up and vote down
https://wordpress.org/plugins/like-dislike-counter-for-posts-pages-and-comments/
heres a picture of how i have my layout
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_Ue9ryY5cmYU3BHMDRkNzJsNU0/edit
is it possible that whenever the post count goes down a certain number of times lets say 4 times that i can send data to akismet to recognize the post type (topic or reply) as spam?
Like akismet would react the same as if i clicked the spam link in my bbpress reply admin links?
just wondering if this possible?
Glad your working, sorry I didn’t get to suggest using a call back earlier 😉
Did try using the included callback_reply_to first?
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converter.php#L1342
im working on a good layout that should be great on mobile devices
its pretty much just turning attributes like freshness, posts, voices, and topics into rows instead of columns.
And using topic reply space wisely , and basically turning bbpress replies VISUALLY into a comment system
I might share my template files and css in the future
but i did check out your site and see that your using buddypress too
so you could try this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddymobile/
I havent tried it yet so i cant really say much about it though.
@Shazahm No, I haven’t looked at what would be required to achieve this.
The core of the issue from the bbPress side of this is that once you start getting a a large amount of subscribers to forum or topic notifications sending individual emails to each of these users is a significant performance hit or webhost issues with outbound SMTP limits.
I linked this conversation to @Mandrill last night and their reply:
Thanks for the additional info. We’re working to improve the wpMandrill plugin with additional features, but no ETA at this time.
As I previously stated above, the fact that BCC is a valid email address formatting technique but wpMandrill does not support this then it is hard for bbPress to make a workaround to support a plugin that does not support valid RFC internet email standards.
We’re happy to add extra hooks and filters into bbPress where needed to help facilitate having wpMandrill work with bbPress but someone who knows and understands wpMandrill and the Mandrill API is going to have to give us a hand here.
Hello!
My bbpress forums is working great except for the forum posts on a small screen mobile device.
I understand where to make the change to the css (@media only screen and (max-width: 240px))
I’m just not sure how to change it.
My wordpress is: WordPress 3.9.1
My bbpress is: 2.5.4
and my website is http://www.fogeyscove.com/fogey-forums/
I also linked to a screen shot showing the issue as well as the css selectors that I need to adjust.

Thanks so much,

Yes, @netweb, thanks for digging into this!
Unfortunately bbPress notification was one of the primary the reasons I searched for and ended up using Mandrill, so bypassing it is not really an option for me.
I really have not delved too deep in the bbPress notification functions for action/filters … are there sufficient actions/filters hooks in place for me to write my own plugin which will restore the pre 2.5.4 notification functionality?
Presume you’ve been through the guides
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
for members only forums set these as private, and only logged in users will see them.
Hello everyone,

Iam unhappy.Why is this so difficult.I excepted ,that is be easy,but isnt.
I do not understand it at all.
Please help me.Thank you very much!
So I was recently given control over my volunteer organizations website after our last webmaster did not follow instructions or help with development.
I’m having some difficulty adjusting to using WordPress, I need to add a Members only forums for the organizations members. the rest of the page needs to be free and open to the public. I will manually add the users in with their emails and assign a generic password that they later can change. I only want them to be able to log into the webpage and not wordpress. I dont want people registering either since it will be done manually.
this is the website http://mnemshonorguard.org/
Im no good at code reading or changing.
I tried using BBPress but wasn’t getting anywhere at all. looking for help the correct application and step by step guide if at all possible,
Many Thanks
bbpress uses the wordpress function
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_avatar
to get the avatar, so you probably need to poke into how wordpress does this.
I believe the issue is that users do not receive notifications when the topic is created on the back-end. If topics are created on the front end and users are subscribed to the forum they should get the notifications.
I found this previous post that describes the issue:
Users don't receive notifications for new topics created in admin
What this means in my case is that I need to instruct my keymasters or moderators to create their topics on the front end for proper notifications to happen. I have tested this and I believe it works. A pain I know, but at least there is a work-around.
So where do we put this code, some might ask?: This is a plugin, so we can create a file like /wp-content/plugins/empty-anonymous-replies-in-bbpress/empty-anonymous-replies-in-bbpress.php. Then we visit the plugin section in the backend and activate it. This code should also work from the functions.php file in the current theme directory. I hope this helps the users, that aren’t sure what to do with this code.
you make a .php file copying the entire code they published
or copy after
/**
* Plugin Name: Empty Anonymous Replies in BBPress
* Plugin URI: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/133420/26350
*/
and add that code to functions.php if you hopefully have a child theme
Ok, again, never mind. After giving my site some time to clear it’s cache, the problem is back.
Please advise on how to remove the search functionality from the bbpress plugin so that my regular search works on my website, http://daniels.du.edu.
Currently, any search simply returns the most recent posts in an unformatted template.
I have exactly the same problem, using :
– WP V. 3.9.1
– bbPress v 2.5.4
– bbP Private Groups
– bbP Members only
– GD bbPress Attachments.
Did sommebody already met and fixed this?
Can’t figure it out, here’s te portion of code that It’s not working:
$_POST[‘bbp-forums-role’] = “keymaster”;
bbp_profile_update_role();
For example, I only want to update actual bbpress logged in user role with “keymaster” role.
Maybe I’m not using bbp_profile_update_role() in the right way. 🙁
How do I enable real anonymous posting in bbpress? I found this code on http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/131550/how-do-i-set-up-real-anonymous-posting-in-bbpress-forums But I’m too much of a noob to implement it. Between which lines should i paste the code to enable anonymous posting? The comment underneath is trying to be helpfull! But how do I create a working plug-in file?
I think the solution is really easy for anyone familiar with php. Between which lines should I paste the code provided on the site mentioned above? Any answers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much! A very big n00b
Probably disable wpMandrill for bbPress notifications would be the quickest way and let WordPress’ send the emails as BCC is fully supported.
You can try the following plugin that I whipped up, I have only tested it on a local install and works for me…
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/d45948672dbf5fd580c9
That said, if you already have custom functions using the wpMandrill mandrill_payload filter in another plugin or functions.php file then updating the relevant section of that for bbPress would be the suggested route. I’m also not sure how this will affect any other templates or custom configurations you may be using either via the wpMandrill plugin config options or any options you have set in your Mandrill API/Setup/Config. (As stated, I’ve only just fired up wpMandrill to have a a quick look for the first time a couple of hours ago)
Ah ha great catch. So for those of us in this boat what would be the best course of action to take to immediately get back up and running? Is it safe to roll back in any way until the next version of bbPress is released?
Hi there,
I’m looking for a little help and guidance with the transfer of a forum.
We’ve been updating a website which runs a bbpress forum. We’ve developed the new wordpress site on a dummy domain using ‘Duplicator’ to copy the old website over and run the various theme / design updates. Whilst we have been doing this the current website has still be running.
We now need to copy the forum activity which has happened in the last 3 weeks from the current site to update the new design before transferring it all back the live domain.
Hope this makes sense!
For clarification we run:-
Wordpress 3.9.1
BBPress 2.5.4
S2Member 140614
Proper live domain:- lifeafterlondon.com
Dummy test domain:- lifeafterlondon.co.uk
It was is not working on a page where i added bbpress forum shortcode. It works everywhere else, like posts, forum root etc.
If it were me, I’d start by looking through here:
http://www.sourcexref.com/xref/bbpress/nav.html?includes/users/capabilities.php.source.html
and probably try using bbp_set_user_role (starting on line 58) to change the role.
But I haven’t done it, so that who knows if that would work!
I’d suggest you contact the theme authors support site. If they are advertising it as bbpress compatibl;e they should be able to tell you.
