Hitting 50 forum limit? What can I do?
The problem is, there is no template-tags.php
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.

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

How to fix that? Thanks
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.
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.
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.
Hello everyone, I’d like to add attachments to my message on my bbpress forum, any type of format possible
Thank you to advance
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.
public_html/forums/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress
i pasted that folder into
public_html/forums/wp-content/themes/options
Thats the bbpress folder i copied into my theme.
in my dashboard i go to
appearance-> themes – error message displays
“Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
Options Template is missing.”
@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
When you say you copied the bbpress folder, can you detail which folder eg
bbpress/tempaltes/… etc.
Can you post the exact error message, and tell us what precisely you click to get that
eg I go into dashboard then click x, and then click y, andtehn I get “bbvbvbvb vbbvbvb error”
Admin side.
Theme side nothing happens (side is white…)
Something bad happens with my bbPress installation – first the revisions, now that 🙁
Hey guys, i would like to change my theme on bbpress, but everytime i follow the guides it doesnt seem to work.
I created a folder with my theme in wp-content/themes/*my theme*/and then copied the bbpress folder from the default folder into here as well.
but it keeps saying my template is missing in the themes section of my dashboard.
thanks guys, sorry I was out of town and could not reply, no I just wanted a redirect from the old structure to the new, we host on wpengine and the support desk there was able to figure it out for me, here is how they did it in case anyone else is running into a road block with this

Sorry, but that’s not how bbPress works. it links the name with a user-id and the a user-id with a post.
My proposal is based on the hook mechanism proposed by WP and that bbPress use intensely, giving a lot of possibilities for (business) logic customisation. This is not related to the templates files in the theme, which are more related to the presentation (how the informations are displayed). Restricting the possibility to make a reply to the member of a group is a pure “business logic” requirement. You may find few explanations on how it works in the part 5 of the step by step documentation on this site.
You add the two functions in the functions.php file of your theme.
In the same file, add the following line, for instance after the two functions or at the end of the file:
add_filter (‘bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies’, my_bbp_current_user_can_publish_replies, 10);
This is the way you install filter under WP.
PS: you can replace the test: if (groups_is_user_admin( $user_id, $groups_id[0])
|| groups_is_user_mod ($user_id, $groups_id[0])
|| groups_is_user_member ($user_id, $groups_id[0]) )
by this one, which is sufficient for your purpose:
if ( groups_is_user_member ($user_id, $groups_id[0]) ) return true;
The forums list display comes under the template
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
There are many hooks in this
Line 44 does the sub forum display
Don’t think bbPress is designed to work that way.
I use bbpress notify, but it would depend on quite who you want to inform and when
