Dear Step, I’m seeing is different. On this site bbpress.org I delete tags of the topic where I’m responding to. Before there was the “test” tag and I try to have deleted.

[mlocke90]

Anyone have an idea on how to get this working for topics?

[Stephen Edgar]

(Rather than bumping very old topics I split this into a new topic)

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

Participants can ‘assign_topic_tags’

Keymasters and Moderators can ‘manage_topic_tags’, ‘edit_topic_tags’, ‘delete_topic_tags’ & ‘assign_topic_tags’.

Are you seeing something different? What user role are you using to test this?

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes 🙂

You can download and install the e107 v1 importer from #2421.

Any testing and feedback you can provide would be very helpful.

Hello everybody,

I’m completely new to bbpress, but I’ve been running a wordpress site for years.
After years of Invision power board, separately from my wordpress site, i’d like to use somthing simpler and I think bbpress is the good tool for that. Cherry on the cake, I notoiced that bbpress offers an importation engine with almost every well-know forums.
Since I tried to import my invision forum, it was completely impossible and the importation tool keeps saying there’s nothing to import.
I have double-ckecked all my invision database server information, but there is no mistake.
Did someone tried to import the 3.4.3 version or do I have to migrate to the last version?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Nope bad luck it didn’t worked with buddypress user profile UI but it worked very well with bbpress. I installed Buddypress just to activate the Personal Messenger option to my forum which isn’t available in the bbpress :/

Hi

WP 3.9
BBP 2.5.3
TwentyTen

I use WPPA a lot on my blog and would like to integrate in BBPress.

When I add it in topic i get this:

http://goandstay.co.za/blog/forums/topic/testtopic-2/#.U15rdfmSySo

The code instead of the slideshow.

Jacob Breedtveld . aka Opajaap (author of this amazing plugin) (http://wppa.opajaap.nl/ & https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-photo-album-plus/) says:

If this also does not work, ask the BBPress boys if there is a possiility that on the particular text shortcodes can be expanded ( $text = do_shortcode( $text ); ) or that the standard content filters can be run. ( $text = apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $text ); )

I don’t have a clue what Jacob says, but think you will know!

Thanks

Hi
I have recently installed bbpress and it is great. I have a small change I would like to make. As you can see the writing on the blog is right in the top corner of the template. Is there an easy way to shift this across?

Using WP version 3.9 and bbpress 2.5.3

Thanks

I have no idea of this plugin works if you are using buddypress (it does with bbpress) but might be worth a quick test – let us know either way !

PS i have integrated buddy press- bbpress does it has to be editing the buddypress files o.o

[Stephen Edgar]

This site here bbpress.org uses a customized theme and customized code to achieve the results in the pictures you show above.

I suggest you have a read of some of the tutorials in our docs, much of what you want has been documented in the codex.

Thanks Mike, I am one of the bbPress core developers, with some luck I’ll get this fixed within the next few days. At this stage until I dig into all the code properly it is about as clear as mud for myself also.

Either or, glad you have a temp fix for now 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

In that case, is it possible to hide the ‘hidden/private’ forum/topic even under the user profile to all non-logged in user or users with no access to the hidden/private forum/topic?

It ‘should’ be already hidden/private and unable to be seen in a users profile, we have a couple of outstanding issues to fix in this regard that we hope to get fixed for bbPress 2.6.

Hi

(Sorry, sorry, sorry for my bad English.)

I’m doing a thousand attempts with shortcode, use bbPress folder in my template folder. Using plugins bbPress WP Tweaks and I set page.php in its settings.

When I try to do this:

Instead I get this:

No column post no number 🙁

Then I can not get this:

1) I can never see these icons
2) I want to see this box on my forum, “Topic Info”, “Info Forum” equal to that bbPress is a very clever solution.
3) in my forum (xamp server to the local machine to create complete style) when there are topics with more pages does not happen what happens here, where the first reply is seen on every page and a different color.

I read a lot on the forum and many people asking for a similar style to this bbPress.org. No one answered a precise code, but this I can understand, this style of bbPress is magnificent.

I have been working for many hours but I managed to get anything, if I fix the things listed above I am happy.

I doubt that this can not be done with the system widgets, as I’m trying …. widgets can not do this … who gives me the changes to make to the template? Please.

[Stephen Edgar]

I suggest you have a read of some of the docs, most of what you are asking about is in the docs.

For example you can use shortcodes and widgets for login and register actions:
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/

The majority of bbPress actions including moderation can all be performed in the ‘front end’ and only some specific actions (configuration and settings) are required to be performed in the WordPress dashboard (back-end).

I just installed bbpress forum in my word press website. however, the biggest disadvantage for me is, that it uses word press dashboard, and wp-admin login. is there a way around this huge disadvantage?

[Stephen Edgar]

You are more than likely correct 🙁

Things are a bit funky for forum and topic subscriptions and topic favorites.

This was discussed at great length in the following topic, you might be able to get a temp fix from here until we get it patched for bbPress 2.6.

Is there a way to remove this character "|" next to the subscription link?

The bug/s https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2581

I also plan on using ‘dashicons’ https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2582

[Stephen Edgar]

Ask and you shall rec… Oh wait… This is kind of goals of the bbPress and BuddyPress codex’s, just like WordPress’. Have you seen the new WordPress developer reference that was launched a couple of days ago?

Reference

Do you think that will be useful? I presume by your statement you’d like a forum topic associated with each item… Maybe bbPress and BuddyPress will get there own versions of this reference 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

This has nothing to do with bbPress per se, if you have added Thank you in advance those terms to ‘Comment Moderation’ or ‘Comment Blacklist’ in Settings -> Discussion then you should remove them this also includes if you have the term van then because ‘advance’ includes ‘van’ it will be blocked.

See this for more details: https://codex.wordpress.org/Combating_Comment_Spam#Comment_Blacklist

[donalconlon]

So, it looks like EventEspresso is the conflict. I disabled EventEspresso 4 and I can see all the bbPress links.

[Stephen Edgar]

Maybe take a look at the two example methods (Comments 14 & 16) in the bbPress trac ticket:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1792

As always patches welcome 🙂

[Robin W]

yes and yes !

bbPress uses the wordpress login, you simply have an additinla contro, to set the user access level to the forums.

So each users has a wordpress access level and a bbpress access level, but only one login !

[Stephen Edgar]

I know that 2 of the 3 plugins you mention should be working fine because I know a couple of sites that currently use them and if they were broken the authors would update them.

I suggest you create a support topic in the plugins support forums and see what feedback and or updates are released.

And this plugin was just released last week as an alternate and/or/substitute

Plugin: bbPress Go To First Unread Post

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-go-to-first-unread-post/

[Stephen Edgar]

Participants can create topics by default:

See the default capabilities here https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

[Stephen Edgar]

We don’t actually want to display a notice, it acknowledges that ‘something’ is actually there when the purpose is not unconditionally not display that content to a user who does not have the capabilities to see it.

In bbPress 2.6 this will change from a 404 to a 403 error though:
