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?
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.
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.
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 😉
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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 );
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?
@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
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?
Checkout bbPress’ ‘Conditional Tags’ https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-conditional-tags/
I think they are pretty straight forwardly named so then checkout WordPress’ page and this specific sidebar example:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#Variable_Sidebar_Content
This is fixed in the upcoming bbPress 2.6:
bbPress Trac Ticket #2162
Very long load times when posting replies if topic has many subscribers
Refactor subscription notifications functions to send 1 email with all subscribers BCC’d rather than 1 email per subscriber. This speeds up posting significantly in forums or topics where there are any number of subscribers, particularly on configurations with slow email servers or when using external email services.
The bbPress Survey will be closing this Friday, April 11th at 24:00 UTC.
Many thanks to those who have participated so far 🙂
Hi, everyone. I’m very sorry to bother you but I’ve got some issue with bbPress. I never used it but I think it very simple and elegant. Still, there is something that bothers me: every post appear on my topic pages! It is not easy to browse and it is very slow…
For example: http://ns364206.ip-91-121-184.eu/www/xxy/forums/topic/danse-en-talons/
It is 36 posts long but in Settings > Forums > Replies per Page, I set it up so it only displays 25 topics.
I don’t where the problem comes from?
Is there something I can do to fix the problem?
Thanks a lot for reading!

Ok now, I installed your plugin and after spending some time removing another wordpress error I can say it works great, there’s just one problem for me.
I’m using buddypress login and signup and cannot change to bbpress version of this, cause I’m also using super socializer plugin, which is written for buddypress.
So now I’m getting a 404 error when I’m not logged in and try to enter one of my forums. I tried to change the permalink of my registration page to “sign-up”, as described in your doc, that didn’t work. I guess this is because I’m using buddypress sign up instead of bbpress.
About changing the code in the php file, I’m not sure what to change. I tried adding the url of my registration page in line 103, that didn’t work as well.
Do you have an idea how to fix this?
Is it possible to make bbPress look like a real forum? I want the typical board view with the categories like on phpBB or vBulletin. Any solutions for this? It seems that I am not the only person who wants that.
1. if you need these adding to bbpress roles, then as per previous:
“what capabilities do you need for the other role?
see
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/
It’s quite east to add, just let me know what you need.”
come back, and I’ll do a quick plugin.
2. On your rank thing, can you specify
the rank names you want
what levels you want them at eg 50 posts
what counts as a post – ie topic or topics and replies
and I’ll tinker with the posts plugin to display this instead as a one off, and maybe cut it into a more general plugin later
