Hello there,

I can’t find any way to edit answers to posts or delete single answers to posts. Are my settings wrong or is this feature not implemented?

Many thank!

Tobias

How do I apply the patch in the trac item myself??

Thanks

You won’t need this text and/or value that you imported.

You will have to create your own templates by copying bbPress templates to your theme directory:

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

You would then use the_excerpt rather than the_content to output only ‘x’ words from each topic/reply

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt

There are a few people who have played around using the_excerpt and bbPress, have a good look around the site to see how and what they did:

https://bbpress.org/forums/search/the_excerpt/

[niuserre]

You can choose the order than forums appear in by giving them an Order value. I usually give mine order values like 10, 20, 30, 40 so that if I add another forum later I don’t have to reorder them I can just add order 25 to put it in between 2 existing forums.

I don’t think there’s an easy way to have forums change order by activity but if activity is important to you then you should consider having Latest Topics as your default view instead of categories (like https://bbpress.org/forums/).

I have been searching to find such a plugin but haven’t found any.
Perhaps this could be implemented in the bbPress.

I will check it up and try create a solution for this since it is a good idea.

Hi, the import went reasonably well for me. Thanks for all the guidance.

I imported values for the “excerpt” field for each topic under a forum post. They do not seem to show up yet in the forum view. What can I do to have them display along with the topic titles in the view listing?

Thanks

[zilveer]

Thanks for your reply.

That is exactly what I mean, but I want it to be built in bbPress.

I hope that the bbPress theme will implement this hierachial feature very soon.

[niuserre]

You can allow them to use images hosted elsewhere via HTML or BBCode. e.g.

Or there are plugins (GD bbPress Attachments) to add a way for them to upload an image on your site.

There isn’t currently a plugin, I think, that will let them upload an image and place it somewhere the way you do with a WordPress Post using the Media Library but it’s on the roadmap for the rtMedia plugin.

[webism]

I would like posters to be able to add images to a post.
Is this possible in bbpress?

Thanks in advance.

I’m unclear as to how to patch it myself.

Please advise.

Thank you for prompt responses.

There is a bug in 2.4 causing this (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2405), it’s been fixed for patch 2.4.1 but this hasn’t been released yet. The bug did not exist in earlier versions, hence it works on one for you but not the other. If you need it urgently you could apply the patch in the trac item yourself.

ETA: Damn, he beat me to it 😀

[Stephen Edgar]

This is a known issue and a fix is in #2405 for release with bbPress 2.4.1

bbPress plugin messing with Meta Data – Website Title and Tagline
Can anyone help me figure out why the bbPress plugin is doing this on one of my websites but not the other.

Permaculture and Community Resilience

WordPress 3.4.1 — bbPress Version 2.1.2
http://transitiontopermaculture.org/about-us/what-is-permaculture/
WordPress 3.6 — bbPress Version 2.4

On one… the browser page title shows the title of the page, and the other shows the url.
I’d really love to fix the problem but having a hard time figuring out what the solution could be.

Would love it to look normal and show website title and tagline at the top of browser when on homepage, and other pages..

Also as I’m posting to Facebook its also ruining the metadata and just wants to post the url as both the title and the description.
If I deactivate the plugin the problem goes away.

Thank you

I installed bbpress on my website http://www.ethansenglishcafe.com/ and the forum is working fine, I was in process of styling it when I noticed all my websites other pages are no longer found. They are all there in the Pages admin section but none will show when I go to the url. If I disable bbpress in the Plugin menu the pages all work fine again.

I assume I’m doing something really foolish, is this a permalinks problem or something (using postname style for my site)?

[niuserre]

content.php seems like a weird place to be swapping an image, is this a header image or something?

From the way you’ve worded it I think maybe you need an if else statement around the specific image?

if( is_bbpress() ) {

// bbpress image

} else {

// default image

}

Is that the issue? If not, could you describe a bit more what you’re expecting to happen and what is happening instead please? It could also be that you actually need a BuddyPress if call rather than bb.

Thanks much for the pointer re genesis extend plugin.
Will give it a whirl.

Meanwhile, relying on the good ole bbpress-threaded-replies plugin.

[niuserre]

It appears that it could be this bug which is fixed for 2.4.1 but not yet released: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2429

Perhaps try patching with the change (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5109) and see if it works.

[niuserre]

You’d need to ask the Genesis folks about bbPress compatibility 🙂 Are you using https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/ ? No idea if it’d help though.

Hello,

I am using WordPress with bbPress(2.4) an buddyPress(1.8.1).

Trying to change the image when I am in the forum.

Trying it with : <?php if ( is_bbPress() ) : ?> in my content.php under my theme…

No effect !

Are there other ways to change the appearance?

Greetings,
Tobias

I have resort to one solution… I think that this error is related with the use of child themes but my knowledge has not let me to go deeper.

The issue is that when bbpress uses single-topic-edit.php on my child theme, it crashes.

“single-topic-edit.php” uses “bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘topic’ )” and “form-topic.php” calls “bbp_the_content( array( ‘context’ => ‘topic’ ) )” wich I do not know why return the hole html page.

if I withdraw single-topic-edit.php from my template and put its content into php within the apropriate conditional: “if($wp_query->bbp_is_topic_edit):” it runs ok.

I know that it is not an acceptable solution but it is the only one I got.

Thanks again,

[benjito]

Thanks for this. I have had a go this morning and tried adding a bbpress.php duplicate of several different files (index, post, page..) none of which seemed to make a difference.

Apparently the Customizr theme structure is a little complex and the theme is split in parts, i can’t say i understand all that much but that seems to be the problem!

At least for now i have gone with a function which removes the “forums” breadcrumb and prevents linking to that page which i have replaced with the static page containing shortcodes.

bbPress pagination not working to my site – Really appreciate if you could help. http://giaitri60s.mobi/forums.

I set up 10 topics and 10 replies per page – but nothing happened!

[Stephen Edgar]

It took a little longer than usual for the 2.4.x branch to go up:

If you find some obvious translations missing in the 2.3.x branch try the /dev branch as this is also ‘typically’ updated for most languages and you could also install the Dutch translations from there.

Unchecking Discourage search engines option does fix my issue as well. Site wide forum activity is shown in activity streams on doing so.

You’re welcome, enjoy 🙂
