Hey friends,

I have a membership site that’s using membermouse + bbPress. Members can subscribe to threads and forums, but once they are no longer paying members, I’d like to make sure they no longer receive those email notifications from bbPress.

Is there a way I can set this up so email notifications are cut off once they are no longer members (perhaps something based off a forum or user role change in WP)?

No one? Someone must’ve implemented this for bbPress 2.x by now.

After looking into child theme and options to make a complete theme for BBPress 2.5 I want to share this. (Unfortunatly the web is flooded with usless 1.0 tips)

If you are not that into setting up a complete BBPpress child theme and hacking CSS, this is one simple way of doing a easy change and customisation of BBPress if u want some personalized look and you already have a child-theme style.css but your main-theme style is messing with BBPress looks.

Add this snippet into your normal child-theme style.css and change the colors and font size as you like.

/* BBPress font fix */

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header,
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
background: #D6E0FF;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3 ,
#bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title,
#bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
	font-size: 16px;
	color: #0066FF;
}

#bbpress-forums a.bbp-author-name {
	font-size: 12px;
	color: 	#75A3FF;
}

Thats all. All other style is already looking nice I think. I use this blue look in my Techism child-theme and it looks great. Running BBPress 2.5.3.

This plugin may be what you’re after, pippin is usually good, but have no experience of this plugin

https://github.com/pippinsplugins/bbPress-Export-and-Import

give it a try, but backup your database first!

The theme is Divi which is from Elegant Themes and the plugin is BBpress Notify. I used the below function to change it from Subscribe to “Click to receive…”. Thanks.

function change_translate_text4( $translated_text ) {
    if ( $translated_text == 'Subscribe' ) {
    $translated_text = 'Click to receive an email notification when a member responds below';
    }
    return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text4', 20 );

I think I have the same issue here. Strange that the topics is not sorted by #ID ?

WordPress Versions eg. 3.8.1
bbPress Version eg. 2.5.3
Operating System eg. Linux (Debian)
Web Server eg. Apache
Theme eg. Techism
PHP Version eg. 5.3.28

I can confirm that George Stephanis sollution to deactivating threaded replies in settings solved the problem.

I have no connection with Securi, they are a commercial company, and you will need to use your judgement.

I also have no connection with BBpress other than being a volunteer moderator of this site.

BBpress works well with many themes and plugins, but compatibility with all is by no means guaranteed.

[Majijiboo]

Wordpress version 3.8.1
bbPress version: latest version
Link to site: manupmyhealth.com/locker-room

I used “display: none” for .bbp-topic-voice-count to remove it, and now want to use a larger portion of the table that displays topics to show the content in .bbp-topic-title.

When I set the width to 75% for .bbp-topic-title, the desktop version looks good, but the mobile version looks disoriented. Is there a way to disable responsive design for mobile so people see the desktop version even when they are on a mobile phone?

Also, any thoughts on what to set the width parameter to so .bbp-topic-title takes a larger width in the desktop version and the mobile version will still look good? Thanks.

Hi Allegrif,

I currently have the same issues with bbPress and Mantra theme as you explained above. Have also tried all avenues to fix it – but to no avail. You mentioned that you found a new theme – please let me know what theme and if it has the same customizing capabilities that mantra has.

Thanks a mill

[theDigiScrapper]

Hi Robin,

Back again.

Am I guaranteed that if I pay Securi to fix my site that bbPress will then work the way it’s meant to?

Thx

[Robin W]

it should if you use this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

[metalmick]

The theme does use buddypress but the forum and search functions are bbpress.

[srikarnl]

will bbPress work with Genesis Framework? my website zeglist runs on genesis framework , will bbPress be supported by it? sorry if the question is dumb i am a newbie

Hi there, I was reading this ticket (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2504)
It appears as though this issue has been addressed, and they say that the forum should be visible when using shortcodes, but it is not working for me.

I am using [bbp-forum-index] on a page, and that page is not visible on mobile, but the other pages of the forum are that are not using shortcodes.
Any help would be appreciated.

here is the page using shortcodes, (http://motocrossnw.net/forum/) you can just drag the corner of your browser and make the window small to replicate the issue.

Hello all,

This seems like it should be easy but I cant find ANYTHING ANYWHERE on how to just migrate bbpress forum posts from one bbPress forum Version 2.5.3 to another bbPress forum which is also Version 2.5.3. Both wordpress sites are running WordPress 3.8.1.

I just want to transfer the forums/forum posts/replies from a forum on website aaa.com to website bbb.com which are both on the same server.

It seems like this should be very easy, there are a million tutorials on how to import/export from OTHER forum services like phpbb, etc. but nothing about bbpress to bbpress hahahahaha

Anyways, any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

The script in the link is working, you probably haven’t closed it with php tags.

Put this in bp-custom.php in the plugins folders

<?php
function bp_exclude_profile_tabs() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_nav['forums'] = false;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bp_exclude_profile_tabs', 999 );
?>

If you prefer to do it with css, you need to copy bbpress.css from:
plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css

And put it in:
themes/[your child theme folder]/css

(if you don’t have a css folder in your child theme, create one)
Then put the css rule mentioned above somewhere in the file.

Hi, where do I find the bbpress.css? I have my ftp in front of me but cant find this file. You say put this line in bbpress.css in your child theme but BBpress is shown in plugins not in plugins not inside themes.

[Stephen Edgar]

There is a good discussion of this here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1767

Also this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-direct-quotes/

Hi, where do I find the bbpress.css? I have my ftp in front of me but cant find this file.

[Stephen Edgar]

In that case create a page and use the single forum shortcode multiple times.

<h3>Index 1</h3>
[bbp-single-forum id=1]
<h3>Index 2</h3>
[bbp-single-forum id=2]
<h3>Index 3</h3>
[bbp-single-forum id=3]

Apparently it’s a problem with Yoast SEO and bbPress, not bbPress and Genesis. When I enable Yoast’s breadcrumbs the bbPress breadcrumbs disappear. When I disable Yoast’s breadcrumbs, the forum breadcrumbs appear, but the breadcrumbs disappear from the rest of the site.

Hi all,

I’d like all links within my forum to open up in a new window/tab. Yes, I’ve done multiple searches and have seen all the previously-posted solutions:

Open Links in new window

Open target in a new window

Add Blank Target to Website Links

Open Links in New Window & Target Blank

Add target="_blank" to external links

I’ve also seen this: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2483

None of the forum posts have identified a concrete solution, plus, those seem to be referencing bbP 1.x.

So my question is, what’s the best way to implement this for a bbPress 2.x install? Have you done it, and if so, how?

Thanks in advance

I’m digging BBPress, however re-organizing hundreds of forums and thousands of topics really seems to be a drag. Is there a way to move all topics inside one forum directly to another forum WITHOUT having to go into each topic one-by-one to assign the new “parent” forum? With all of the page-loads, this simple task could take weeks instead of hours.

It would be SO NICE to be able to move forums into a parent forum right from the admin Forums page. And move all topics+replies in one forum right into an existing or new forum. Is there a plugin that does any of this?

Oh, and it would be very handy to have a “Export Forums to SQL/CSV” command, so if needed you could open them in Excel to modify, then re-import.

Hi Robin,
I was able to export users from Lotus into a new users table. The table structure is:

users {
   user_id INT(11) PRIMARY KEY AUTO INCREMENT
   display_name VARCHAR(250)
   user_nicename VARCHAR(50)
   user_login VARCHAR(60)
}

Data sample:

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  user_id  |   display_name   |   user_nicename   |  user_login                |
+-----------+------------------+-------------------+----------------------------+
|   555     |     Jane Doe     |     jane-doe      |  old_123456789abcde12345   |
+-----------+------------------+-------------------+----------------------------+

You will notice I was not able to export any email addresses, or passwords from Lotus. I linked up my custom converter and was able to import users successfully into BBPress without the need to include a bogus email or password. In the WP database, all of these “old” users have an auto-generated password, and no email address. Now, at least all of these old user display_names are showing next to the posts they authored (instead of all “anonymous”).

Is it still possible to write a loop to link these old user accounts to the newly registered users even though there’s no email addresses? I’m okay with the forum working the way it is now, but if there’s a way to link newly registered accounts with the old ones, I’d sure like to try. I’m guessing the only way to do it is to match by the old user display_name, which, from what I can tell, is unique to the users db; no two people have the same name. It would just depend on people remembering the name they used to registered on the old site (some people are registered as “John and Jane Doe”). And if someone signs up who coincidentally has the same name as an old user, there could be some confusion.

I just had a thought, what about a checkbox during registration like “Attempt to link my old DynamiteOnline account”, and when checked it would try to link up the names?

You’re right, nothing is “simple”.. lol. I really appreciate your ideas here, and thanks so much for your time.

Is there a way to have the 2nd line of a title of a topic that has a lot of words to be right underneath the 1st line? Currently the 2nd line goes below the image which I used this plugin http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-topic-thumbnails for. See link below for an image of how it currently is. The 2nd link below is the actual link to the forum. Thanks.
