I just started using BBPress as a private forum on my site.

Whenever someone posts, all the topics inside of that Forum have their freshness update:

Can anyone offer assistance one why this is happening? Thanks!

Hello,

I am using the latest BuddyPress with the bbpress forums. For some reason on my forums page my images and margins are out of whack. I didn’t do anything different to them. You can see here http://www.passingrass.com/forums/ Ive tried re-sizing them and it didn’t help. I also tried to re-install them.

Any advice would help. Thanks.

Do I need to do anything to get WangGuard to work with bbpress, or do I just install it, get the API key, and let it go?

hi guys,

new to the forum here. I installed bbpress on my site, but the layout is completely messy.

the forum on my site is http://redwhiterocket.com/?page_id=4

any tips and inputs on how to fix the layout?

We actually pull the list of plugins using the WordPress plugin API, the good thing is that the plugin API is getting some updates this week so we should be able to include some of those enhancements into our plugin list https://bbpress.org/plugins

Wow! At last!

I could solve all problems of mine!
It is thanks to you, Mr Robin W!

Well, yesterday I came up with new ideas.
And I tried, but It’s too hard for me to make it.

So, Would you please advice me one more time?

I’ve made ​​a new topic.(here)

many thanks…

[yoosuke]

I’m looking for advice on how to display day of the week at “reply-post-date”.

In topic pages, “at” is used in the display of posting date. like…

2014/05/28 at(←here!) 00:21

I want to replace the display from “at” to “(Sun)”.
In other words, I want to display a day of the week of posting time.

I tried many times by using PHP function “preg_replace”.
However, it was too difficult for me. Code that I made ​​is as bellow.

function change_reply_post_date($output) {
$output = preg_replace( '/at/' , "<?php echo get_post_time('D'); ?>" , $output );
return $output;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_post_date' , 'change_reply_post_date');

In this case, it did not result in an error.
However, “at” disappeared.

What should I do?
Would you please advice me?

WordPress: ver3.9.1
bbPress: ver2.5.3

[Robin W]

you could try adding the following to your functions file

add_filter( 'd4p_is_bbpress', '__return_true' );

or seeing if your theme or other plugins are affecting

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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

Can you just eliminate theem or plugin issues, this should show descriptions (content) on the category pages.

I presume you have read the

[Hymer]

I have already activated gd bbpress attachments, but nothing changed. Is there anything in settings I don’t understand?

[Robin W]

yes that’s the way it is supposed to work – try the plugin

[Aezaz Shaikh]

Okay understood. But how will i assign forums to course ? Sorry for my bad question but i am totally new in bbpress.

Thank you 🙂

[Jerry]

Okay, got it working! Thanks much for your help. One note: I had to change “if ($countr !=0)” to “if ($countr > 1)” to get the result I wanted. Evidently, bbpress is considering the first topic author as the first reply author. Strange, but whatever; it now works. Thanks again!

[Evan Herman]

Unfortunately I missed the survey.

I would love to see attachments and resolved/unresolved tagging. I heavily use bbpress for support forums with a few of my plugins, and have to install 2 or even 3 plugins to get it where I need it to be for a support forum.

I would love to see a module of sorts added to bbpress code that enables support forum features.

Hi

Forgot course post type point. I just want separate discussion board for each course.

I installed bbpress crated forum and topics but can’t figure out how i create separate discussion board for each course?

[Hymer]

I test BBPress forum in http://varosvedo.hu/forums/forum/kozter/ and I see that the forum visitors have no possibilities to attach images or other files. If I am inlogged as admin, I can attach media, but I have access to all the media in the homesite.

[Robin W]

‘course are posts for “courses” custom post type.’

That is the part that confuses me.

Bbpress uses three custom post types – forum, topic and reply – none of which would concern you.

If you just want forums for each course, that is out of the box, but a course participant would be able to see other course’s forums – is this an issue?

Otherwise if you want separate private group forums then try adding the following plugin on top of bbpress.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups

Since I have never used courseware I can’t say how well bbpress would integrate with it

I think you best option is to install bbpress and see how it works for you.

Try this link and come back if that doesn’t solve it for you

In wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

At around line 807 I added some code from the recent replies widget:

// Verify the reply ID - TESTING
$reply_id   = bbp_get_reply_id( $widget_query->post->ID );
$reply_link = '<a class="bbp-reply-topic-title" href="' . esc_url( bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( bbp_get_reply_excerpt( $reply_id, 50 ) ) . '"> TEST</a>';
// END TESTING	

Then near line 830 I changed

<div><?php bbp_topic_last_active_time( $topic_id ); ?></div>

to include the code to print the “recent reply” link after the date/time.

<div><?php bbp_topic_last_active_time( $topic_id ); 
//print latest reply link
printf( _x( '%1$s',              'widgets', 'bbpress' ), $reply_link);
?></div>

Our Club didn’t want forums in BBPress so I needed to uninstall it.
After the uninstall I was left with BBPress Roles such as Keymaster etc.

Additionally, all Admin accounts aand other WordPress accounts other than mine now get a page “you are not authorised to access this page” when they log in. They can go back to the main page while logged in and can then access the Dashboard.

I’ve worked around this b copying the user privileges from my account to other admin accounts.

How can I “fix” this?

Hi all,

I am creating a course related membership site. I am using course ware plugin for course management. I also need forum for my registered members for course related discussion.

I google for best forum plugin for wordpress and found this bbpress plugin.

But I am confused, I am not sure whether it will work with my course post type or not because its custom post type.

What I actually want to do is: Suppose, I created 1 course say “bbpress installation” in course ware custom post type and I want to add 1 separate discussion board for this course. Is this possible with bbpress plugin ?

Let me know its really very urgent for me because my project is overdue. I really very appreciate quick and useful reply 🙂

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

I found the issue. I’m using WPML. When I create a Forum for English and than if I create a Topic, also for English, the attribute “Forum” combobox has items. On the other side, if I create a Forum for Portuguese and than a Topic also for Portuguese, the attribute “Forum” combobox is empty.

It seems BBPress is only working for English, not for any other language.

How do solve this issue?

Kind regards.

I have just started updating the layout and structure of the codex http://codex.bbpress.org/

This has been on the ‘ToDo’ list for a while, there is much to do and if you would like to give a helping hand that would be great, subscribing to this topic would be a good start 😉

In the coming days I will update this post and outline further some of the plans.

You can see the new planned layout home page here: http://codex.bbpress.org/

The ‘Participate & Contribute’ page here: http://codex.bbpress.org/participate-and-contribute/

No pages or changes to permalinks have been made yet, though I do plan on this in the coming days.
