that will be theme dependent.

you may be able to use the function is_bbpress()

[elsoar]

PLZ.. I want to change the logo image for the bbPress forum only, not for the whole WordPress blog.

TIA

[Robin W]

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
if ($domain!='bbpress') return $translated_text ;
  $translated_text = str_replace('Forum', 'Elephant', $text) ;
return $translated_text;
}

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

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

I’ve no idea if this thread is relevant or not

bbPress + Elementor

I am tied up in other work at the moment, but I may get back to this soon

[mastersofphotography]

I’ve also tried the following:

– Deactivating Elementor + Elementor Pro.
– Added the code in then last step on this thread: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-elementor/
– – I’m not sure that thread is super relevant to my situation. I didn’t try putting any templates at all.

I’m also experimenting with adding a brand new WP install at /forum/, and managing the forums as a separate CMS instance.

I went to dashboard>users>all users and edited the user. I could not find any “role”, but the user is NOT a superadmin (box not checked)

I don’t see the word bbpress anywhere in the user’s settings.

[Robin W]

can’t see your screenshot, but can you go to

dashboard>users>all users and tell me what roles your username has for wordpress and bbpress

[ocglimited]

I tried disabling my SEO plugin and those filters disappeared. The only other BBpress related plugin I have is for images, so i disabled that and no change to the filters.

I suspect something is interfering with the selectors / filters appearing that would allow me to approve posts (change from pending), or make approval related buttons appear (just guessing)

Any suggestions for a fix for the above?
Or, can I turn of ALL moderation so everything is automatically approved? I could not find such a setting.

[ocglimited]

You’re right – we cross posted. I see your point about the language in the URL…so that post is visible. Maybe a bad example.

I found another post that I can NOT find in my forum! Post number 6855, and in the database the post_status is marked as “pending”. Is that a clue?

Do I have to change the status of a post from Pending to “publish”? I’m wondering if I editted a post and then it goes missing. Do I have to approve my own post change?

I’m new to bbpress so trying to figure it out…wondering if this is my own doing. How can I see posts needing approval and how do I approve them (or change from “pending’)? Is that something I can switch off, since only I create/edit posts?

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses the woprdpress posts table – it is what wordpress calls a ‘custom post type’ many plugins use this method.

[ocglimited]

I tried to find the topics table in the wordpress database, and found one of my missing posts in the wp_12_posts table!

I’m not sure if this is normal, but I have wp_X_posts for 5/6/7/8/9/10/11 (replace X is table name). Is it correct to have posts in various wp_X_posts tables?

Next..looking at the row attributes for a sample post that is missing, I see:
post_status: inherit
comment_status: closed
ping_status: closed
menu_order:0
post_type: revision

Any clue there what’s wrong? Do I have to somehow force bbpress to regenerate indexes/names/etc?

[ocglimited]

I am using BBpress 2.6.11 for my forums. All posts creation/editting is done by a superuser account. This all has been working fine for years, but recently I noticed that some posts are missing. Links to some posts take me to 404 pages, and searching the forum for the contents of those posts fails (no result)

I have no idea what is happening. Can someone help me find & recover the posts, and fix whatever is wrong?

(I don’t run akismet, or any spam filter, as that showed up in a number of bbpress posts about missing posts)

[Robin W]

so on the gsc problem, can you go to

bbpress template

where there is a new file, and instructions for where to put it.

If anything is not clear come back.

In essence I am hoping that this will fix the gsc problem, I’m not expecting anything else to change, but it might just fix the color problem, let me know either way if anything has changed.

[Robin W]

ok, sorry there are thousands of themes, and you may need to live with this.

There are several threads on divi and bbpress issues.

[Robin W]

If are using the Divi theme (or a child theme of this theme) there is an issue whereby bbpress Profiles and bbpress search may not work properly

If you have issues with either of these, please change the following Divi theme settings:

1. In Dashboard> Divi> Theme options > Builder > Advanced > Static CSS File Generation > Clear

2. In Dashboard> Divi> > Theme Options > Performance> Dynamic CSS option> set to Disabled

3. THEN critically you need to clear any server side caching AND clear your browser cache.

Server side will depend on your host, and/or any caching plugins you have installed

Hi.
I’m running BBpress (Version 2.6.11) on NewOrleansSaints.dk with the DIVI theme.
LINK: NewOrleansSaints.dk

If you click on a users profile link in the widgets the profile is displayed, but seems to be broken from the design.

What can I do to fix this issue ?

[Robin W]

If you use the bbpress profile rather than the wordpress one, it lists all topics and replies by a user – just click on a user link in the forums to see.

you can use

bbp style pack

(which also has lots of add-on features) to set the default profile to bbpress

see

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>login

For ranking you have

bbPress Voting

and/or

bbp user ranking

also if you want users to add information about themselves, then

bbp profile information

Hello,
No links, as we are not yet far enough to be stuck there, but the website is a wildlife travel blog and marketplace (as well as members area). I am using a plugin called Armember to create a few members areas within my site. I am using bbpress for much of the stuff that the members can do (mostly discussion forums of various kinds)

I am looking for two things, I found small plugin extensions for BBpress for each, but both have generated errors, and the second crashed the whole website.

Firstly, I am looking for a plugin which will list all contributions that a member makes, on their profile page. There are going to be a variety of forums as well as direct contact, but I am eager to allow people to have a kind of simple blog within their profile. I found “posts on profile” plugin to do this. This way, any post made on any forum, will be listed. Does anyone known another plugin which would do the same thing? Posts on profile is 10 years old, and so not surprisingly, it is causing errors. Alternatively, is there some sort of code I can add, which will do the job without a plugin? cant believe that this is a rare need?

The other thing I was looking for, was the ability for readers to be able to rank posts – BBp core has this capability, but on installing BBp core, the whole website crashed instantly. As such, rather than trying to work out what plugin is crashing with it, it is likely to be better to find another. I am simply wanting to be able to give people the ability to rank other peoples posts, so that we can sort on a sensible metric (this cant be unique to BBP Core)

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello

I am not very experienced in coding, as the page has been built by an agency.
Means that the changes that now have to be placed has to be learned the hard way 🙂
But the forum here gave me already some helpful inputs.

As we are running a wordpress site including a forum, there is still some adaptation to be done.
To give you a bit of insights. The versions we are running:

How can I set the default style setting of the visual editor to it’s standard?
It shall only be the buttons within the visual editor and not the ones for the rest of the forum.

Actually the button settings are inherited form the customized theme and it looks horrible within the editor.

bbPress User Roles and Capabilities

[WPabmm]

Issue: bbPress User Roles and Hidden BuddyPress Group Forums

I’ve encountered a problem where bbPress user roles cannot be edited, which creates a conflict when using bbPress forums within hidden BuddyPress Groups.

The Problem:

Members of hidden BuddyPress Groups can read the associated group forums but cannot post.
The rest of BuddyPress and bbPress functionality works as expected, but this limitation seems to stem from the bbPress Participant role.

What I’ve Tried:

I attempted to modify the Participant role using the Members plugin, but bbPress roles appear to be non-editable.
According to a support topic on Members, this restriction was recently enforced by bbPress.

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/members-plugin-unable-to-edit-bbpress-plugin-roles/

Question:

Does anyone know how to override or adjust bbPress roles?

[missioninvictus]

Searching this forum gave the answer.
The Keymaster was missing ad with the advice to install the bbp Stlye Pack, this role could have been set.

The tricky point for me is the fact, that depending on the view that is used, one might not see the Forum role, that is different as the one of the Site Role. The classic view had to be set first in the Users->All Users view to discover that.

If somebody else is struggling with the same issue, then follow these steps:
1. Jump to Users->All Users menu and change there the view in the upper right corner to “classic view”.
2. Verify the “Forum Role” column if your current user has the Keymaster priviledge.
3. If the Keymaster priviledge is missing, install the bbp Style Pack Plugin.
4. Once ppb Style Pack is installed jump to the menu Settings->bbp Stlye Pack and there to the Tab bbPress Bug Fixes and scroll to the Fix for the Keymaster. Tik it and press at the bottom on Save

This solved at least my issue 🙂

Hi

I am not very talented in wordpress. The site has even been built by wordpress themself. But actually the support of wordpress has diverted me to you, to solve my issues.

Having mentioned my poor knowledge, I have discovered, that on our page the plugin of bbPress is installed and running in the version 2.6.11 and it is active.
But the menu “Forum” is not shown in either the admin interface style “classic” nor in the “default” style.
I was using as well the stating page to disable all possible plugin’s. Without success.

Is there a concurring plugin such as memberpress?
How can I make the menu visible to admin the forum?

Thanks for any valuable hint.

[sylvianna]

Hi

How did you solve the problem because my specific moderators receive all the notifications from all our forums and not just the ones they are attributed to.

Thank you

NB : I use BBPress, BBpress Notify (no spam) and LearDash LMS BBpress integration.

I am a beginner in wordpress and bbPress so less familiar with PHP code.

If it’s possible, send here the required code to paste in the “WPCode plugin” to generate the direct link to user’s profile in bbPress.

Of course, I’m using your plugin but the shortcut [bsp-profile label=”Edit My Profile” edit=”true”] works in the site’s footer but doesn’t work in the forum footer.
