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

Health Check & Troubleshooting

Then come back

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.

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)

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

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;
}

sorry, this is not bbpress – maybe a related additional plugin?

Hi @lcmweb,

I’m running memberpress / buddypress / bbpress. My member profiles are handled by buddypress. Is that your situation?

It sounds like (maybe) your memberpress rules are not giving members access to the profiles. I’m no expert on this, but if you can provide some more details, I’ll be happy to share any ideas I can come up with.

I am using Memberpress and bbPress and the forums are working as expected but the Member profile is giving a 404 error. Suggestions for a fix?

[Robin W]

bbpress is very scalable, wordpress with around 55,000 plugins (each one with it’s own forum) uses it for their support.

bbpress just uses the wordpress custom post type and posts table in the database.

issues on a very large site will be due to the time to perform database searches, and this is really down to server performance rather than bbpress inherent issues.

I want to change it to unlimited. I use with Question 1, and I want to set the permanent system.
Is the setting the possible?

Question 3
Is it possible to create of tens thousands topics? How many a max number?

Bug report

If you change the WordPress permalink, the “comment edit” URL changed the permalink. And, Edit URL is an error.

Hi @robin-w

I’m still a WP beginner and I’m not a native speaker (I use Google Translater, that doesn’t make it easier 😀 ) and I really need help. Sorry to write again on this topic, but unfortunately I didn’t fully understand the instructions.

I have exactly the same problem as most others.
I create a community with bbpress forum. For this I use Ocean WP Theme (I also tried Hello Theme because of your plugin, but unfortunately it didn’t work.) and Elementor (Unfortunately only the open source version, not Pro).

I can customize forum index page with Elementor exactly as I want with motion effect, borders, additional widgets…
When I click on a topic, bbpress uses the default theme without my Elementor editing.
I understand that bbpress creates a new page for each topic and only uses the default theme. How can I tell bbpress to use my Elementor template?

If I understood it correctly with FTP?
I’m having trouble finding my template in the files and I don’t know where to go for bbpress.

Or CSS?
Can I change the loading instruction for the template somewhere in the bbpress stylesheet? If yes, where?

I would be grateful for the help, I’m desperate.

Hello, does anyone know the max number of forums/categories and subforums you can have on a single WordPress site before it becomes unstable? Does anyone know where you can find best practices for structuring forum and subforum hierarchy? For my project I will likely start with ten categories, which will each have three subforums or categories, which in turn will have two or three layers of subforums likely resulting in several hundred subforums on the site. I don’t have a live site to link to yet and will be using most recent versions of WP and bbPress.

can i replace my forum https://www.seodio.com/ with bbpress ? if so how do i transfer all my data from php xenforo to bbpres?

my forum : https://seodio.com/forum/

[Robin W]

so I would fix it like this in this order

for all these, by default worpdress/bbpress will usually display 20 items per page. if you look at the top right of the edit topics/replies/users page, you will see a dropdown box labelled ‘screen options’ – you can then set the no. items a page – so set this to say 50 or 100 to be able to do the process more quickly.

1. REPLIES

If you haven’t already marked the replies as spam then do 1.a if you have marked them as spam then do 1.b

1.a
in
dashboard>replies>all replies you will see a box to the left of each reply. Tick those you want to mark as spam – you can use the box left of the ‘replies’ title to select all of them.

Then click the ‘bulk actions’ top left under the replies heading and select spam and click apply.

This will move the spam replies to the spam folder.

1.b

Once you have all the replies as spam, then click the ‘spam’ link where it says

All (xxx) | Mine (xx) | Published (xx) | Drafts etc…. |Spam (xx)

then delete using the same method select all the spam replies (box to the left of the replies list heading) and use the bulk actions to ‘move to trash/bin’ all the spam replies.

1.c then you can leave them there in spam, or delete them permanently by selecting the ‘trash’ or ‘bin’ option in

All (xxx) | Mine (xx) | Published (xx) | Drafts etc…. |Spam (xx)

2. Repeat this process for topics

3. USERS (the bit I think you want to really know about)

In dashboard>users>edit users – you can use the same method to bulk select you spam users, and then using bulk actions choose ‘delete’ and ‘apply’ (as you did for topics and replies). When you do so, it will ask who you want to assign any content to. It normally (from memory) defaults to the first user in the list. If you have deleted all content in 1 and 2 above, then there will be nothing to assign, but if you have spam entries they will get assigned to whoever you say – that can for instance be to assign to ‘admin’

However I have seen sites where admins who use this method create a user called ‘spam user’ with a dummy email address who they assign content to. The logic of this is that if you have missed marking as spam and/or deleting a topic or reply it shows the user as ‘spam user’, rather than making ‘admin’ look like they are spamming their own site 🙂

The explanation above has probably taken longer to type than it should you to do this once you understand 🙂 🙂

bbpress doesn’t have an upload facility, so must be another bbpress related plugin that is doing this?

Hi ecollart,
you must put in your function.php in your theme folder

function filter_pll_check_canonical_url( $redirect_url, $language ) {
    if(strpos($redirect_url, '/edit/') !== false && strpos($redirect_url, '/forums/') !== false && strpos($redirect_url, '/reply/') !== false) {
        $redirect_url = str_replace('/fr/', '/', $redirect_url);
        $redirect_url = str_replace('/en/', '/', $redirect_url);
    }
    return $redirect_url;
}
add_filter( 'pll_check_canonical_url', 'filter_pll_check_canonical_url', 10, 2 );

and you must modify inside the folder topic of your bbpres plugin the file template.php

from

// Pretty permalinks, previously usedbbp_use_pretty_urls()
// https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3054
if ( false === strpos( $topic_link, ‘?’ ) ) {
$url = trailingslashit( $topic_link ) . bbp_get_edit_slug();
$url = user_trailingslashit( $url );

// Unpretty permalinks
} else {
$url = add_query_arg( array(
bbp_get_topic_post_type() => $topic->post_name,
bbp_get_edit_rewrite_id() => ‘1’
), $topic_link );
}

to

// Pretty permalinks, previously usedbbp_use_pretty_urls()
// https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3054
if ( false === strpos( $topic_link, ‘?’ ) && strpos($topic_link, ‘/fr/’) == false  && strpos($topic_link, ‘/en/’) == false ) {
$url = trailingslashit( $topic_link ) . bbp_get_edit_slug();
$url = user_trailingslashit( $url );

// Unpretty permalinks
} else {
$url = add_query_arg( array(
bbp_get_topic_post_type() => $topic->post_name,
bbp_get_edit_rewrite_id() => ‘1’
), $topic_link );
}

Hey there,
I want to make a website with bbPress. I have “Hacklog Remote Attachment” plugin that allow me to remotely upload media files on to another server with FTP access. I mean this plugin will upload everything you upload on “media” to another server.
But bbPress ignore this and save files on wp-content folder. My local host is limited so that’s not good option to save files on my local host.

Is there any add-on or plugin to force bbPress upload files to another server with FTP?
