If you want it to look like PhPBB then the following links should help

I have created a bbPress starter theme with a phpBB look and feel

Forums index in the same layout as other bb software

[Robin W]

This is just different software, like the difference between a Ford and a Toyota.

bbPress is ‘skinny’ and you can use plugins to add functionality as you need, rather than have fat software that has loads of stuff you don’t need.

You should really be looking to get rid of the toolbar for everyone but moderators and above ! It shouldn’t really be seen by users.

go to dashboard>users and for each user untick the toolbar

The codex has help on putting logins and profile on the menu pages – see

Hello Liberty and all the experts here,

I am having the same problem. I set up the bbpress using a minimalist theme I created from scratch. Everything works except the missing toolbar in the editor.

I added the following code in the functions.php file, but I only saw two tabs “Visual” and “Text”, but no toolbar, as shown in the picture posted above by “Liberty.”

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

When I switched to the Twenty Ten theme, the toolbar showed up nicely. I know my theme is missing something, but can’t seem to be able to figure out what I am missing. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Have a great day!

Terry

Okay, nice! While trying to submit this support request, I got 4 error msgs. Perhaps bbPress doesn’t like Macs and Safari?

[Tanya Quintieri]

Hi there,

I get a weird error msg when hitting the submit button when opening a new topic. I get a white screen that says: “http://forum.dvud.de/members/tanya-quintieri/
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/web86/html/forum/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/topics/template.php:1541) in /var/www/web86/html/forum/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 896”

When I hit refresh in my browser, the forum shows up.

All my versions are the newest. I just installed everything today.

Thanks,
Tanya

Hey @ravisharma911,

I’ve been testing using Paid Membership Pro (free plugin) and it seems to be working so far. The integration doesn’t seem to be terribly tight, but it’s functional. You’ll need the Paid Membership Pro plugin along with Paid Membership Pro for bbPress. I hope this helps.

Hi, We are looking to create a website that will be somewhat forum based. It would allow both consumer and vendor to post/interact with each other. There would be a fee charged on both ends. Is it possible to charge a fee for registration on forums?
Do you think it is possible using any plugin on BBPress?

[Robin W]

glad to have someone else looking !

My ajax is hopeless !

Your solution is valid, but digging for it produced some code issue

we have several issues here

firstly the filter call is wrong in the code ie

bbpress/includes/topics/template.php has two errors

function bbp_get_topic_subscription_link( $args = array() ) {
......Parse the arguments......
		), 'get_forum_subscribe_link' );

so the function is ‘get_topic_subscription’ but the parse argument reverts to ‘get_forum_subscribe‘

whilst it doesn’t affect this issue the error is repeated for favorites in the same file

function bbp_get_topic_favorite_link( $args = array() ) {
..........), 'get_forum_favorite_link' );

needs changing to ‘get_topic_favorite_link’`

This doesn’t affect the issue as such, other than the filters above are wrong.

But filtering bbp_get_topic_subscription_link is totally pointless, as it immediately calls
‘get_user_subscribe_link’ which them resets the |, so whilst the filter seems to correct it once, any click just resets it.

So your filter to get_user_subscribe_link is the correct one, but for the wrong reason.

Really the code needs to have the filter in one place only (suspect user)

Anyway the solution for @majid436 is as you suggest

function hide_before3 ($args = array() ) {
$args['before'] = '';
return $args;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_user_subscribe_link_parse_args','hide_before3');

Hello,

I have looked everywhere and could not find an answer.

I found other things like putting the link in a menu item.

But, what I wanna do is redirect the user profile page. I do not want to use bbPress´.

So, to be specific. I am using UPME, a premium wordpress theme from Codecanyon.

And the profile link for this plugin (User Profiles Made Easy) is:

http://codeboy.co/profile/username

So I want to get rid of the bbPress user profile that appears in the forums and when a user creates a debate/post it will automatically link there, link:

http://codeboy.co/forums/users/Codeboy/

I want it to link here instead:

http://codeboy.co/profile/username

So from plain view it looks like I would just need to change this link in some php file of bbPress, yet I have not had any luck after many hours of headaches.

Could somebody please help me?

Thanks!

I tried here… bbpress/includes/common/shortcodes.php

though I entered ‘smallest’ => 11, and ‘largest’ => 20,

the font size only show 11 on all – same size. Did I do something wrong? I thought it would randomly display 11 to 20?

[batmanfan]

hmmm.. tried and tried with no success 🙁 I really like the sidebar tags on https://bbpress.org/forums/ but I can’t seem to do that! help appreciated. In fact, if it can be display not only on different font size but different (random) colour too that would be better for easy search. Thank you so much.

@maecana I just updated the original post on what works and what doesn’t.

Categories adds another layer to the importer in general and it just doesn’t support this just yet, I hope to in the future though.

‘Typically’ most forums don’t have to many categories so recreating these categories in bbPress manually and then moving the forums under these categories works quite well.

[MarkFreebs]

This is a fantastic change, just what i was looking for, having recently moved from a Webwiz forum, I was looking to gove my users a similar experiance to what they had there, BUT……
My avatars are looking strange, and the Catogories are not lining up properly.

Most are correct, but some are different widths.

Please have a look at and let me know what I need to change. This is a test site, running WordPress 3.8.1 and the Klein 2.0.2 theme and bbPress Version 2.5.3. with Buddypress Version 1.9.2.

Thanks once again for the fantastic work you have done.

[Stephen Edgar]

I definitely need to sit down and learn how to submit a patch on Trac. This is in my list of things to do

Check out my comments on this ticket, they should help get you on your way. Then just create your ticket and and any questions you have along the way I’ll help guide you along. 🙂

And yes, that was the way I was thinking you were going once I understood what you were saying 😉

[chapman387]

I have installed bbPress, and think it’s great. My thanks to the developers!
I am having a problem though……As Administrator I installed bbPress, and therefore am a Keymaster.
However, I have given the same privileges to two other Users (Administrator/Keymaster, but if they go:

Dashboard>Appearance>Menus they only see Pages/Links/Categories option for menu editing, whereas I see the additional Forums option.
Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks,
Chris

I am having the same problem where bbPress grabs the non-English characters to create the topic slug.

Is there a way for bbPress to use post ID instead of post name?

[Robin W]

I think that you will struggle to maintain a bbpress + version, and that the ‘+’ will just get bigger and bigger and bigger. I probably have 20+ plugins I could write to do things that people ask for on the forums.

Many people just want a particular part that suits them, and the bbpress philosophy is to keep it ‘skinny’ and let people use plugins.

Making a big fat version would make it really hard to develop.

The real problems are two:

1. That people aren’t aware of the skinny philosophy – maybe I’ll put something at the start of the documentation to make this clearer.
2. People aren’t aware of what plugins are available and which work. This is really because you have to have a problem or know what you want before you look for a plugin. This is a bit like buying a car with no add-ons/accessories list. So no-one tells you that electric windows are available, so you look for an expensive air-conditioning system because you don’t know how to open the windows. Solution is that we need to create a plugin list that starts with what it does, not with the plugin name or with searches for tags

eg

bbpress plugins Where to download
Add quote feature http://www.dev4press.com/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/
genesis compatibility https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/
Move one forum to another https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import
private messaging https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-social-network/
email notifications (topics/replies) https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notifications/
email notifications (topics/replies) https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify/
add a signature https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-signature/

I am just about to start one, so if you want to add the plugin name and what it does to this thread, I’ll get a list going.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks, I created ticket #2580 and we’ll take a look.

As I stated in that ticket they are stored as a serialized array in wp_options.wp_user_roles

[Stephen Edgar]

I am writing something to add a one-click unsubscribe link for the subscription emails, so need them to be unique for each recipient in that respect.

Ok, I follow you now, cool idea 🙂 If you ‘hack’ core it will break when you upgrade bbPress. 🙁

I presume you want the individual email so each link is unique and the user does not have to be logged in to unsubscribe?

So maybe create a ticket on Trac with a patch to have bbp_notify_subscribers fire after the redirect.

[Stephen Edgar]

I suppose that would work, though with the updates of the above code in bbPress 2.6 the performance cost of creating a separate email for each individually subscribed user has been removed and the impact of this before or after the redirect would be minimal.

Your original post:

I am working on a one-click unsubscribe link that will need to use the old way of sending the emails individually.

Essentially by doing this you will reintroduce the bottle neck that we just removed :/

Why do you need to create the emails individually?

Creating a single email with the recipients BCC’d gets the email to every subscriber from the ‘list of topic subscribers’ with only a single email and is far more efficient than creating an individual email for every subscriber.

[Stephen Edgar]

It already is…

bbp_new_reply_handler as linked above line #426 -> do_action( 'bbp_new_reply'...

/includes/core/actions.php#L229

229	add_action( 'bbp_new_reply',    'bbp_notify_subscribers',                 11, 5 );
230	add_action( 'bbp_new_topic',    'bbp_notify_forum_subscribers',           11, 4 );

[tharsheblows]

Oh yes, you’re right, that’s what I was looking at initially – I went back to find the line number and got the wrong one. (This sort of thing happens all too frequently.)

So what do you think? Would it affect anything else if I just put a hook there (ie after the redirect) and hooked in bbp_notify_subscribers?

[Stephen Edgar]

@tharsheblows I think your looking at bbp_edit_reply_handler rather than bbp_new_reply_handler, you should be looking here (I think, if I’m following you correctly) scroll up to /includes/replies/functions.php#L426

[tharsheblows]

Oh, eep. I am working on a one-click unsubscribe link that will need to use the old way of sending the emails individually. Is there any reason bbp_notify_subscribers wasn’t just added to a hook (existing only in my head at the moment) at the very end of function bbp_new_reply_handler after the redirect (ie around 749 in replies/functions.php?) I know it will still take a long time but do you think it will affect anything?
