Hi @robin-w

Congratulations for your plugin : it solved dozens of customization requests we had, congrats for the great job and for helping the community here ! i just sent you a donation 🙂

For those who are looking for an all in one (almots) bbpress plugin, install this one (and donate if you like it !)

bbp style pack

[Robin W]

ok, you suspect the theme, but need to prove that, so standard fault finding applies ie

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

Hello,

On my staging site, k9fitness1dev.wpengine.com/ for my client, I installed BBPress. The forum page works fine, but when I try to open a topic page, it shows the content from blog posts that were published a super long time ago. I tried unpublishing the blog posts, but it still shows these contents.

I am using WP version 5.8, bbPress 2.6.9, the enfold theme which is to date, and I believe that this glitch has something to do with the Avia advanced page builder, because the content that is generating shows a bunch of short codes that look like avia shortcodes.

I tried to repair the forums, under the forum settings, but this did not cause any changes.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi

Unlike other forums, bbpress doesnt give the creation date of a topic, or did i miss something ?

in the topics list, there should be the date :

Started by : Nicolas July 8, 2020

like this forum for instance : https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/499-feature-suggestions/

the creation date is a major information how can i do that ?

thank you !

I use the newest versions of wordpress, bbpress, buddypress and the Responsive theme.
I can’t find a way for participants to add more than one link or picture to forum posts or replies without the posts going into moderation. Where can I set the threshold? Is there any plugin for that?
Moderators can do that.

[Robin W]

add_filter(  'gettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3  );

function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        'Forums' => 'Forum'						
             );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}
     return $translated;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Hi,
I cannot find a way to change title of ‘Forums’ to ‘Forum’.

I have changed it in settings / forum root and forum single slug (i get this message – possible bbPress conflict: Forum slug and vice versa)

Any suggestions please much appreciated?

Thanks,
Ollie

Hi

Of course you can 🙂

XenForo

[DeepBlue]

No size restriction, actually bbpress is much lighter than Invision, Xenforo etc
And i would add :
use LiteSpeed Cache : best cache for WordPress (and even better if you have a LiteSpeed server)

[Robin W]

No restriction in forum size – this site uses bbpress with 130,000 odd topics. Server capability is of course key to any response time.

Bbpress just uses wordpress login, so you will need to look at how that is done with wordpress.

[Robin W]

I can only suggest you try it, but in essence yes, bbpress has categories, forums, sub forums, topics and replies.

[debcat24]

I intend to create a large forum setup that will have many different categorised topics and will contain sub forum topics and within that topic there will be the comments of the users.
Is this possible in bbpress 🙂 ?

[Robin W]

not sure that will help – as I stated in the fix, this is neither bbpress or elementor problem – just 2
plugins that try and help wordpress but don’t totally work together.

[Robin W]

the core of bbpress is stable enough that I suspect this version will hold for a good while yet.

[Robin W]

I had the last version and have put it here

bbpress moderation tools

[SirLouen]

Have anyone found an alternative to the plugin bbpress moderation tools that have recently closed in the wordpress repo?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/moderation-tools-for-bbpress/

[Robin W]

ok so let’s try the standard fault finding

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and my fix plugin and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Then come back

[spanky11]

I would pay as well so long as the job were done right. If anyone is interested let me know. Both phpbb and bbpress are vanilla.

[DeepBlue]

I will also need to migrate from other software to bbpress i wonder if there are some experts here for paid migration jobs ?

or even maybe some bbpress officials for a paid mission ?

that would solve your problem (and mine to come)

Phpbb issues :

[Milan Petrovic]

I am the author of GD bbPress Attachments, GD bbPress Tools and these plugins have Pro version called: GD bbPress Toolbox Pro (https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/). And, the Pro version has options to embed attachments into content, and if the attachment is the image it will be displayed as a big image, and video or audio will be displayed as players. In the area after the post (where attachments are usually displayed), currently, only images can be previewed, and video can’t be placed due to the layout constraints.

Hello,

I found a bug when using bbrpess and WOOF (Woocommerce Product Filter). Indeed, when bbpress is activated, when you want to filter products by category, the WOOF’s widget disappears. With a lot of tests on multiples websites, I found this bug comes from bbpess.phpclass on setup_variables() function when the attribute topic_tag_tax_id gets apply_filters( 'bbp_topic_tag_tax_id', 'topic-tag' ) value. When you comment this line, the bug is solve.
As I don’t need tags on my Forum, I just need to set $this->topic_tag_tax_id = 0 and hide Topic tags form.

But Here is my final problem : How can I overwrite this class because it’s not a template but the plugin file ?

PS : I tried every possibilities (plugins versions, select another theme, change product database, catch network and files errors), the bug really comes from here as strange as it may seem.

Cheers,

TomCrise

[Robin W]

not sure how this is related to bbpress.

I suspect you will need to set something in your theme

dashboard>appearance>customise

this custom css might help if you can’t find where to set the width

#wrapper.boxed #theme-header, #wrapper.boxed .breaking-news, #wrapper.boxed #main-content {
	width: 1200px !important;
}
