That’s pretty outstanding, any suggestions for a new person to bbpress how to set up a style like that?

Hi all,

I’m very new to bbpress forum – had just installed the latest version but am having some layout/format issues with my forum (i.e. no space in between some words)

1) Title of latest topic is appearing in the “Freshness” column (beside the timestamp)
URL: http://www.propertyelite8.com/forum/

2) When user click to view the list of topics in this forum, again, title of the latest topic appears at the top of the page (where breadcrumbs are supposed to be)
URL: http://www.propertyelite8.com/forum/forum/ask-propertyelite8/

3) No space in between topic title and “ReplyTo” when user click to reply
URL: http://www.propertyelite8.com/forum/topic/career-path/

Hope to receive some help from you gurus! Thanks!

I’ve done it all.
It looks more like a problem with pagination or display limit because I have 101 forums regions and only 49 or 50 are displayed.
Perhaps a change in script on the forum bbpress loop or a hidden option in the settings panel?
What do you think?

Just tried using the $curauth params within the bbPress user-profile.php, didn’t work out so swell. Little lost on this one so any help would be appreciated. Even if I can do this in a reverse way – where the bbPress profile will link to the WP profile instead. Either way works for me.

I guess a simple question would be – the bbPress default template php files are located in the plugin directory … if those files were in the theme folder would bbPress pick them up that way?

I have a breadcrumb plugin, it’s all working quite well other then one thing:

With the bbPress forum it shows my “Forums” slug twice. Both link to the Forums index page, but it’s weird to have it double it’s self. Any ideas? I don’t have this issue with the plugin on anything else.

I’m trying to figure out a few things – I’ve done a search and read through a couple dozen or so items without much luck.

I’d like to incorporate some more info into the bbPress user profiles – I know I can probably do this using the $curauth params but want to make sure. I also want to make authors/contributors/etc link to the bbPress profiles as well. Is there a quick piece of code I can use to do this within my WordPress theme files?

I have this function to return an author profile page when the name is clicked on:

function new_comment_author_profile_link(){

    /* Get the comment author information */
    global $comment;
    $comment_ID = $comment->user_id;
    $author = get_comment_author( $comment_ID );
    $url    = get_comment_author_url( $comment_ID );

    /* Return the default WordPress comment author link if comment author is not
    a registered user */
    if ($comment_ID == 0){
        if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
            $return = $author;
        else
            $return = "<a href='$url' rel='' class='author-url'>$author</a>";
    } else {
    /* Return the link to the comment author's profile page if otherwise */
        $return = '<a href="'.home_url().'/?author='.$comment_ID.'">'.$author.'</a>';
    }

    return $return;
}

Can I plug in some line/piece of code to direct it to the bbPress profile instead? If so, what piece?

Wordpress & bbPress are latest versions – website is http://www.novasev.com
Appreciate the feedback.

Wordpress Version 3.8.1
bbPress version – Version 2.5.3

It seems that I got the bbpress import from phpbb to work with all the topics and replies. The problem is that the users are imported wrong so the topics are credited to the wrong user. I went through other forums which said it was a WP United issue but I do not have this installed.

Please help. I see some suggestions of writing a MySQL query which I see are back from 2012 so they are not working for me. Any assistance would be appreciated.

[Asynaptic]

Thanks for doing this for bbPress as well. I hope we get some great feedback.

May I suggest that a more granular approach would yield better information? I’m thinking of something like:
http://www.wpsymposium.com/voting/

Or a uservoice type feedback system where people can suggest ideas and others vote on them.

While trac is great for measuring feature requests and bugs, it doesn’t measure intensity, immediacy and importance weights which users may attribute to individual features or bugs.

Hitting 50 forum limit? What can I do?

The problem is, there is no template-tags.php

[Robin W]

yes, go to

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

and no. 15 if you want to change capabilities

Hi,

I recently installed bbpress on my site and had no issues with it – it worked really well. But I changed my permalinks to %category% for the category base. And suddenly the forums stopped working. I tried copying the short code, and even clicking “view forum” direct from the forum creator, and it keeps coming up as a 404, even though they are clearly visible in the back end.

When I remove the %category% permalink, it returns to normal, but then of course that stops me being able to permalink my categories (which is something I need to do for this site). I have tried un installing and re installing the plugin, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. Any idea what might be going on, and how to resolve it?

Hi

I have roles setup in wordpress which i would like to display in the forums in place of the bbPress roles.

Or is there a way to create new bbPress roles with the titles I want then have the roles synchronized with wordpress?

eg.
Wordpress –> bbPress
Guest –> Guest
Builder –> Builder
Moderator –> Moderator
Admin –> Admin
Co-Owner –> Co-Owner
Owner –> Owner

Each role has different capabilities but i would like them to show as different roles on the forums as the titles link up to our small gaming server.

WordPress Version: 3.8.1
bbPress Version: 2.5.3-5249
BuddyPress Version: 1.9.2

Hello i just install bbpress and when i edit a posts i get duplicate log, look at the image!

How to fix that? Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

Someone else here has done the import/conversion when using wp-united, here it is, should be some good tips for you: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-import-incomplete-and-switches-authors/

Also https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ & https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb

[bidiesman]

hello everybody,
I’m trying to import my phpbb linked to wordpress with wp-united to bbpress.

first thing, is that I got some troubles to access to the bbpress menu from the wp-admin panel. (not visible and access denied) to solve this first issue, I had to install “user role editor” wordpress plugin and click on reset, right after. bbpress menu was well present.

After first import I noticed that some topics where started by Anonymous and after that all my topics where written by another user;… I finally understood the fun part.

In phpbb you have from id 3 to 51 robot crawler user…due to that, it’s not syncing well with wp_user…
I will try a manual fix tonight but if anybody already did the manip I’m ready for any extra info. (about attachement, mp,…etc,…)

cheers,

I already tried this code but I had the same problem with this editor.

function add_tiny() {
bbp_get_the_content(array ( 		
'tinymce' => true,
));
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_the_content_parse_args','add_tiny') ;

I think the problem is in the bbpress.php file. I will change same code on weekend and hope I will find the problem.

[Robin W]

ok, I had a look, and yours is definitely trying to use the wp-editor not the tinymce one.

My forum calls

<div id="qt_bbp_topic_content_toolbar" class="quicktags-toolbar">

under the title.

Yours calls

<div id="wp-bbp_topic_content-editor-container" class="wp-editor-container">

As to why, I can’t say. You could try

function add_tiny() {
bbp_get_the_content(array ( 		
'tinymce' => true,
));
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_the_content_parse_args','add_tiny') ;

in your functions file to force it to use the mce editor

(I haven’t tried that code so may need some editing)

The function in form-topic uses bbp_the_content which calls bbp_get-the_content – both functions are in

bbpress/includes/common/template.php

if you want a look.

I am now away for the weekend !

bbPress does perform some elaborate queries which can make things feel slow, especially on sites with many thousands of topics and replies. Installing a caching plugin for WordPress will help, as well as any general PHP performance tuning on the server side.

[John James Jacoby]

That will definitely cause you some grief. pre_get_posts is called on every posts query that fires, even non-bbPress ones.

In this case, you’re filtering every admin query and looking for a meta value that won’t exist for certain post types (like revisions, pages, posts, attachments, navigation menus, etc…)

You’ll want to target your code much more specifically than you are here, so that you’re only matching the correct query conditions for what you’re trying to accomplish. This might be hard if you’re also trying to filter sidebars and widgets, since you want something broad, but not too broad.

Haven’t used this one, but it gets good reviews

Hello everyone, I’d like to add attachments to my message on my bbpress forum, any type of format possible

Thank you to advance

[Robin W]

Ok, I think I understand

BBpress doesn’t have a “theme”, it uses your theme to get many of it’s display elements.

If you simply want to just use bbpress, then pick a wordpress theme, and off you go !

It’s only if you want to alter how bbpress forums look or behave that you need to copy files.

bbPress uses “templates” to order and decide what to show, and a bbpress.css file to style bbpress specific elements.

Therefore you should use a wordpress theme.

Within that wrodpress theem, you create a bbpress folder for any templates you want to alter, BUT only for those, so if you don’t want to alter, then you need do nothing.

If you wish to alter the bbpress.css, you’d create a css subfolder in your theme and copy the default bbpress.css into their and then alter it, or simply add styling to your themes style.css.

@rammoskostas
Can you explain exactly what you did to import and where you imported from and was it also bbpress, and confirm that you used wp export and wp import, and which versions of wordpress and bbpress you are using
