Hi Robin, thanks so much for the reply here.

I didn’t build the integration on the site, but I believe it could be coming from one of these plugins below that I see on the backend. It seems that neither has any option to customize the messages/linking.

Curious to know what your thoughts might be? Much appreciated.

ok, so with JUST a default theme and JUST bbpress as only plugin, this occurs – yes ?

How do I change the 50 max displayed formums?

best I can offer is

bbPress Topics for Posts

[Jamie Robe]

Hi everyone,
I am working on a plugin project and need a way to add a new forum and add a new topic to that forum, under my PHP code.

Can someone please direct me to where the bbp_ functions that do these things are documented? I can’t seem to find a developer guide.

I see one book on Amazon for bbpress – bbpress complete – it is like 2013. Does it help with coding stuff? Is there a new book available any one can recommend?

Thanks!
Jamie

[Robin W]

it could be a theme or plugin issue – I know you have already switched themes but try a default one 🙂

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

When I click on the forum link it links me to the homepage and not the forum.
When I change the theme I still have the same issue
Any suggestions?

Here is the link

I have latest versions of WP 5.8.3 and BBPress 2.6.9

on you last point, bbpress just uses the WordPress gravatar system, so users can use gravatar to have their image

https://en.gravatar.com/

But there are a number of plugins that allow users to upload avatars, and any plugin that allows this should work with bbpress. Just google ‘wordpress upload avatar’ and you’ll find a wealth of resources.

On you other points, these are related to LMS and Memberpress I suspect, both of which are paid plugins, so suspect you should start there.

It is a bug introduced in a recent upgrade

see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/editor-buttons-missing-since-2-6-8-upgrade/

[dsrt16]

I seelcted that I wanted a toolbar with html controls and the ability to add media to the forum. But when I look at the forum, the user is given a blank textarea to type in a reply, and that is it! No formatting toolbar and no ability to post an attachment or post media.

Is it even possible to allow users to post an attached file? I need them to be able to do this. I am using BBpress as a discussion board for a course I am creating, and it will be useless if they can’t post an attachment.

Contracts

I just downloaded bbPRess so I have the newest version.

[realadulting101]

Hi there, I am currently using BBPress on my website. My site is an LMS site that uses Memberpress for our membership and for our courses. Currently in my member dashboard area, there is an “edit forum profile” tab and when you click it, it pulls a lot of other strange info other than just the members profile like it pulls our blog titles for some reason. Also, if I am logged in as a different member and click on another user who posted on the forum and it takes me to their profile, their email loads incorrectly (so if my email is test123@gmail.com it shows at the top of their profile as @test123-gmail.com.). Has anyone every experienced this and know what to do? Lastly can users edit their profile picture or is this not possible with just bbpress?
Thank you so much for your help!

[Chuckie]

See:

Now, the forum in question has 15 topics + 2 stickty topics. Total 17.

That actual page is displaying all 17. Yet it thinks it is displaying 15 and thus has a pagination to page 2. And ofcourse page 2 has nothing to display.

Bug?

USing latest bbPress and all associated plugins

[Robin W]

bbpress does not send a weekly email – is this an associated additional plugin ?

[theyuw]

Curious to know if anyone has a solution for this.

When a user receives a weekly email notification from BBPress, if they are logged out of the site and then click on the link supplied in the email (under “Topics” for example) then it will direct them to the WP Admin dashboard login page rather than the user login page.

It doesn’t look like this link is changeable. Are there any solutions or plugins that might help resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance for the help!

‘spam email blocklist’ is not a bbpress phrase, can you test with just wordpress and bbpress active, and a default theme.

[grilledmedia]

Somehow after someone adds a comment on a forum topic an error message is shown with the text ‘Spam email blocklist’. When refreshing the page, the comment is added.

Screenshot:https://prnt.sc/26d7eye

I’ve done tests:
– add comments to a regular post: success
– Enables standard Twenty.. theme: problem still exist

Wp & BBpress versions:
– Akismet is not active
– No spam filter is active

Versions
Wp Versions: 5.8.2
BBPress: 2.6.9

I can’t share a URL because it’s a non public website. You need a login. Which I can share of you need te have access.

[docmartinhk]

For the above, I’d also used FG drupal to wordpress plugin, maybe mixed up a bit; couple of other plugins too, inc for categories.

I figured might be an issue in this.

Went to bbpress; and chose option to clear the forum.
Then, re-imported.

I got loop on item 16; found others had experienced this with import. So, stopped it; looked at forum.

Initially, forum showing 0 posts, topics; even though posts and topics actually present.
I ran the tool for repairs; seemed the same.
But, went away, returned to site and the forums page has the numbers of topics and replies.

[Robin W]

ok,
so I think you have 2 choices

1. not show your forum page unless logged in. If all your forums will be private, then this is probably a good option.
You can create a forums page (https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ item 3) and then use a restriction plugin such as ‘restrict content’ to make this a login page – see https://usersinsights.com/wordpress-private-page/ and/or https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-private-page/

2. you could use my ‘private groups’ plugin to do this, and still show that these forums exist

Private groups

[Robin W]

looks like it is an additional plugin

bbPress

[Robin W]

by the way you could try having a main forums page and using restrict to prevent access to that

see

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ item 3

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses custom post types and worpdress login, your issue is how restrict content pro is dealing with custom post types. It also looks like you have your forums set as public hence why they appear in the forum list.

The page you get to is a bbpress template, but given that you should not be getting to this page, is probably a red herring.

As restrict content pro is a paid plugin, you first port of call is to them.

You might also wish to look at

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/ which might help you in your set up, but might not – I don’t know what you are trying to do 🙂

[redelefant]

Website: https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org
wordpress version: 5.8.3
bb press version: 2.6.9

I have a WordPress website with Restricted content pro (membership plugin), bbpress and buddy press. There are some forum pages, that are pages with bb press shortcodes and blocked with Restricted content pro and its locked message for logged out users appears(such as https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org/forum/ OR https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org/new-topic/). That is working fine. However, pages generated from the post type such as the archive page https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org/forums/, aren’t blocked and can be accessed (and a list of categories can be seen). Then when a logged OUT user tries to click on a topic to see topic content, it send them to a funny login (not restricted content pro) and then when they click the “log in” button, (whether or not the username and password fields are filled in) in they are redirected to the regular RCP login. That is an extra step. How do I get rid of the middle step?

(not sure if this info is relevant: Under Restrict – buddypress , I set that “Redirect to page” to a page called “locked content”.)

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I am a brand new user of bbpress. Setting up my first forum and I have created a Forum with topics etc and marked them all as Private. Obvioulsy when logged in as an admin I can navigate the forum no problem, so I tried loggin out and doing the same, I though the forum would say something like ‘Pleaase login to access the forum’ or something but it just throws up a 404 error, is this right or am I misunderstanding.

If you have the option for a Private Forum for Logged in users only, should I not be getting a option to login to use the Forum, instead of a 404 error.

Sorry if Iam being dumb!

cheers

Back end: under Forums it shows the ‘Last Post’ as 3 hours, 30 minutes ago when I just added a test post. However, under ‘Replies’ it shows the correct time in the ‘Created’ column.

Can you test this with a page or post – bbpress is just a custom post type and uses wordpress code for the backend
