You could create a new role for your users based on the participant role without the publish_topics role.

Is there a way to add cutoms fileds to the profile in an other way than changing the code? Because after an update those changes I will make will be deleted anyway. Maybe someone knows a plugin, or maybe this should be a feature for bbpress?

Здравейте,
За първи път инсталирам bbPress и имам няколко въпроса.
От къде да взема български за последната версия – 2.5.1?
Къде да кача езиковите файлове?
Това ли е най-добрия и лесен плъгин за форум към WordPress?

Благодаря Ви предварително.

In the core files there is a file called widgets.php inside /plugins/bbpress/includes/common

If you look at line 677 (in my version) there is a topics widget class (class BBP_Topics_Widget), you could create your own plugin and copy the class across (renaming it) and then create your own bbPress widget, without altering the core code.

Good luck!

Bug still present, i reroll to bbpress 2.4 still here :/

[ronthai]

Hi,
I just noticed that the bbPress Recent Topics widget give the date/time/FRESHNESS from the last reply made.
This does not seem to be a bug.
I would prefer that it shows the Freshness of creation.
I use both Recent Topics and Recent Replies widgets next to each other and it just looks foolish to have them both the same freshness time, especially since the New Recent Topics are usually the ones that get the replies.

Is it possible to change that? Well of course it is but how and where?
I don’t mind changing core files, I am always organized to know what I changed where in-case of updates.

Thanks, Ron

So I’ve been trying to debug this problem for about a month and finally decided to try and get some extra help. Here’s a summary of what’s going on.

When a user clicks Edit, they are brought to a page that’s showing the excerpt for the reply, with a Continue Reading button. No editing can be done. Regular topics can be edited as expected, but replies are pulling from my post loop it seems.

Does anyone know where to begin looking for something like this? The theme’s creator is MIA (Huddle theme from Themeforest), and if I knew which files to begin digging through, I might be able to fix it on my own.

I’m using WordPress 3.7.1
I’m using BuddyPress 1.8.1
I’m using bbPress 2.4.1

I can provide more information upon request, would appreciate any help or general finger pointing to get me in the right direction. Thanks!

I had tried to post this last week with screenshots, but I think bbPress put it in the spam folder, so I’m trying again without the links to screenshots now.

Solved this with an extra link in the menu or in the admin bar if you use the plugin “Blue Admin”
https://wordpress.org/plugins/blue-admin/other_notes/

Instruction are here:

Menu link to Profile

[ronthai]

I just added to my menu all forum links from a user:
topics, replies, favorites, subscriptions, edit
all under 1 main “Your Forum Settings & Stats” Dropdown, but just call it anything you want.

Get the plugin “WP exec PHP” : https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-exec-php/
No security risk, since you can set the permission for who can add php to pages and such.

Create pages for any links to the profile you want and add the following REDIRECT with php-code in it (adjust to your own domain)

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://domain.com/forums/users/<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

     echo  $current_user->user_login . "";
      
?>/edit/">

You could delay the refresh and add a little text to the page, or anything you want.

With many thanks to Diggories (above somewhere) for the php code to get the username in a URL

I need a way to find out what a replies parent forum is.

Reason is because I have created members only forums in a specific way by integrating DAP (Digital Access Pass) conditional functions. All of this is working great but my problem is with the search function of bbpress.

I need to filter the search so it doesn’t display replies that are under members only forums.
So like, IF REPLY_ID IS CHILD OF FORUM_NAME-OR-ID, REPLY = MEMBERS-ONLY-REPLY.

I don’t mind if it displays topics but I do not want people to see replies that are under members only forums if they are not a member.

So I think the file I need to play with is loop-search-reply.php but I need some help with figuring out the code to do this.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

hi all

i need to know how to manipulate the post just before it is displayed on the page? do I use wordpress hooks for that (and if so does anybody know which one off by hand), or is there a bbpress hook that does that?

I am having the same problem. I have tried the repair tool and my posts and topics still do not show up. Has anyone tried un-installing the update and going with a previous installation of bbpress?

[Mr-B]

Ooh yeah – I would be first in line to install that!
I do like bbPress, but it seems like something that should be built in. Anyway, thanks, this effort is appreciated.

Is it possible to remove these meta tags?

I’d also like to remove the forum title/name – already have breadcrumbs that show where the page is so this is kinda redundant.

Thanks.

With all due respect to the developers of bbPress and its plugins,

People, bbPress admins, should realize that bbPress is a plugin/add-on to WordPress and bbPress is ideal for adding a nice straight forward forum to your WP, what I am setting up now for myself for the first time next my WP.

I have extended experience with phpBB forum software.
Changes/addons like these is not what bbPress is intended for, in my humble opinion.
If you want all the extra’s and whistles, people should use phpBB, which also can be used next to WP. I believe WP has plugins for that and phpBB also supports it with MOD’s/plugins.

[Hdm89]

It happens in the index page of the forum.

And EXACTLY it appears like:
Forum A
– Forum A
– Forum B
– Forum C
Forum B
– Forum A
– Forum B
– Forum C
Forum C
– Forum A
– Forum B
– Forum C

I think it is a sort of incompatibility between a plugin and the permissions plugin
bbPress Permissions -> https://github.com/ZanderAdam/Tehnik-bbPress-Permissions

[ronthai]

Yes, you are right, they do move to the right. Guess was to busy with the numbering that I didn’t noticed that.

To change the background color of reply to reply posts add this to the bbpress.css
.bbp-threaded-replies div { background-color: #ccc ! important; }

Color #ccc is a little dark, but just change it to what you want

[Matoca]

I too wanted to differentiate the reply to a reply and played around with firebug last night for an hour trying to find the right CSS style. I was only able to color the background and that added a color under the reply box that extended to the left, thus adding a colored tab on the left side of the reply box. I had only wanted to color the box a slightly darker gray but could not find the attribute. I didn’t change this.

If you look carefully you will notice that reply to reply is always floated right of the previous reply and that the “Reply and Details” moves to the bottom of the reply. In a reply to a topic, these are usually at the top left.

However the issue we are having is that actual replies to the topic are moved out of the correct posting order and continue to float at the very bottom. Current and new replies to topic post above these.

If I remake these replies to topic and backdate them and then delete the original posts will that solve the problem? Or is bbPress different than WP where you can backdate posts? Of course in this case the replies in question are already dated late November so they should not be at the bottom.

[robgranholm]

I’m using the Pagelines theme [before DMS] and they have a selector at the bottom of each page or post that you can select to make the page full width.

On forum pages, and individual threads, this option isn’t available. I know I can create a bbpress.php template which bbPress will look for, but I’m not sure how to deconstruct my theme, or set it up to be my default page, but minus the sidebar.

Help here would be much appreciated.

My page.php code doesn’t give me much indication as to how to craft this…

<?php

Hi

Having never used bbpress before and being relatively new to wordpress, I’m struggling to get the forums on my site up and running.

Having spent 3 hours today just looking for the ‘forums’ tab, I eventually worked out that the reason I couldn’t find it was because in the latest version of buddypress (or bbpress?) there is no ‘forums’ tab – it is named ‘Groups’ instead! It seems the documentation on here is outdated and this has caused me no end of agro today aggggh!

Now I finally worked that out, and the forums option magically somehow appeared in my individual ‘groups’, I’m now unable to make a post in any groups, even when logged in as a keymaster!

Can anyone help me with this? I don’t even know where to find up to date documentation for this plugin now, everything I’ve read is outdated and has confused me. Can anyone point me in the direction of a place to find documentation for bbpress 2.5.1, when running with buddypress 1.8.1 on wordpress 3.7.1? Or just help me to get these forums useable!

Also, is there a way to allow forum users to add photos to their posts?

Thanks

Sally – website thehouseofdog.co.uk

[ronthai]

add to the bbpress.css
.bbp-forum-title { color: #E03700 ! important; }
You also put anything in there like font-size, font-weight, text-decoration

Note that when bbPress opdates all changes will be lost, UNLESS you follow these instructions:

You should have all your customizations as per this document
