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]

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.

Thanks, sometimes one does need to be shown the obvious.

It was the “bbPress Threaded Replies” plugin.

[Robin W]

This warning is contained in three templates all in
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/tempates/default/bbpress/

form-forum.php
form-reply.php
form-topic.php

You can create a folder in the root of your theme called ‘bbpress’ and copy these three themes to it, and then alter this text to read whatever you like, or remove it.

Or you could add the following code to your functions file

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

Just make ‘new text’ whatever you want.

or you could probably get you function to do something, but I don’t offhand know what you’d need to do.

[Robin W]

Looks like it’s wider than just bbpress from this post.

http://evidentiasoftware.com/forums/topic/object-stores-not-found/

Have you added/upgraded any software lately?

Ok, first I’d check plugins and theme to discount these.

Check other plugins

Check that no other plugins are affecting this.

Turn off all other plugins apart from bbpress, and see if that fixes the problem. If the problem is resolved, add back one at a time to see which is causing the conflict.

Check themes

If plugins are not the cause, then it may be a theme issue. Switch to a default theme, such as twentytwelve, and test.

come back if that doesn’t pinpoint your problem.

[Robin W]

Yes absolutely.

1. A child theme is great because it preserves your changes
2. Yes put the file in there – the child theme is your theme, so yes changes to bbpress templates should go in a bbpress directory in the theme folder.

Do come back if you have further queries !

[shpitzyl]

Look at this blog post:
http://themekraft.com/blog/customize-profile-and-group-menus-in-buddypress/

I haven’t checked it, so if it doesn’t work, you can always use css.

put this line in bbpress.css in your child theme:
#forums-personal-li {display:none;}

[metalmick]

I am making a dating site which requires NO forum capability at all. I deactivated bbpress and this did the job removing the title ‘forums’ from the profile pages. perfect! Then I realised it had also taken away my browse features like Members Online and Top Members features so NOT perfect!
Surely there must be a simple way of removing the forum feature or at least the Forum button from my profile page? On the forum settings page it allows me to do anything but this! Why not a check box to disable actual forums?
Help please!

[Stephen Edgar]

I suggest you have a read of this:
https://github.com/rmccue/bbPress-Reply-by-Email/issues/19

This is an advanced and complex plugin to get setup and a fair bit of reading and configuration with 3rd party service is required.

Hi, I’m using WordPress 3.8.1 with bbPress.
Looking for a plugin that will allow me to reply to posts by email.
I found this post and use this plugin but it causes an error

Reply to Posts via Email

https://github.com/rmccue/bbPress-Reply-by-Email.

Error:

Warning: require_once(/home/power90/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbsub/vendor/postmark-inbound/lib/Postmark/Autoloader.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/power90/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbsub/library/bbSubscriptions/Handler/Postmark.php on line 9 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/power90/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbsub/vendor/postmark-inbound/lib/Postmark/Autoloader.php' (include_path='.') in /home/power90/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbsub/library/bbSubscriptions/Handler/Postmark.php on line 9

That didn’t work, but this does:
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-forum-freshness, li.bbp-topic-freshness { display:none; }
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title { width:75%; }

but this targets ALL forums, and I just want to disable it on the front page where all forums are listed.
