[wprog]

Hi,
I want hide the firstname and lastname of the user in each topics of my forum bbPress.
It’s possible to replace by other field? Like custom field for example or username.
Thx
Have a nice day

An error message with the wording ‘Spam email blocklist’ appears after someone posts a remark to a forum topic. The remark is added when the page is refreshed.

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

I’ve done tests:
– Successfully add comments to a standard post
– Allows standard Twenty to be used. theme: the issue is still present
Wp & BBpress versions:
– Akismet isn’t working right now.
– There is no active spam filter.

Versions
Wp Versions: 5.8.2
BBPress: 2.6.9

Because it is a private website, I am unable to provide a URL. You’ll need to create an account. If you need access, I can share it with you.

Here, https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/this-topic-is-empty/

if you go to the link the topic is there and can be found and replied to. and if you went to the Troubleshooting forums, you’ll find it too.

In my case, you can only do the first part, but the topic won’t show automatically in the forums unless recalculation is done.

neither is standard in bbpress, maybe in buddypress or buddyboss, I don’t know.

for the handle, you’ll need to add

/**
* Add @mentionname after bbpress forum author details
*/

add_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'mentionname_to_bbpress' );
function mentionname_to_bbpress () {
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
}
}

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

Thank you for the quick reply, I am not used to looking at IP6 addresses so it completely flew over my head.

Follow-up question: one of the reasons I was confused is because on other bbPress installs (like this one) I see their @handle and how long ago their posted under the avatar.

How do I get those to appear as well, or do they appear just not to keymasters?

[Robin W]

ok, maybe look at

dashboard>settings>forums and look at editing time.

If that doesn’t fix, then standard fault finding applies viz :

it could be a theme or plugin issue

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

Then come back

Home

A couple of our members are having an issue when submitting a post or replying to one. When they press submit nothing happens so they then try again and they find they have a duplicate post. From one member: “If you press backspace after you press submit you can then see your post”. Another member sent this: “whenever I submit a discussion the gateway times me out and I have to log back in”. It’s not happening to everyone though …

Any advice/insight gratefully received.

[Robin W]

bbpress works fine without buddypress – I don’t use buddypress on any of my sites

[olandir]

When I post in my forum, strange numbers are appearing under the avatar on the left hand side instead of whatever is supposed to be there.

I’ve already tried
– Posting as different users
– Completely resetting bbPress
– Loading the default theme
– Disabling every other plugin

It’s still the same every time I post. I’m at a loss

[maryreyes]

I like what I’ve seen so far with bbPress, but I’m not so sure I need/want BuddyPress. Can I run bbPress without it? What would I give up in the way of functionality? (I’m trying to create a community, not a Facebook clone.)

[Robin W]

Thanks – a few questions please

one ‘post’ – or all posts?

edit from front end (what the user sees) or backend (wordpress dashboard)?

Topics/replies – or both?

what is your bbpress role?

[viridw]

I tried disable all plugin, use default theme, reinstall bbpress, did not work at all, guys can you help me.

[Robin W]

I’d suggest you contact their support forum

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/image-upload-for-bbpress/

[Robin W]

bbpress just uses the wordpress username and password.

If you google around, you can probably find a wordpress plugin that will be close to what you want

[maryreyes]

This is what my forums look like, with all of the subforums crammed together into a single “paragraph”.

Current Forums

This is what I want my forums to look like:

Forum Example

How do I get there from here?

I currently have BuddyPress v.9.2.0 installed, but not sure I need/want it. I’m using bbPress v.2.6.9. The theme I’m using is Sydney, but not sure it’s doing what I want.

[boatnerd06]

Presently I use Image Upload for bbPress on our forums until recently it worked. Now it seems to not be working and all previous images that were uploaded via that tool are now missing. Looking for any help. Site is boatnerd.com

[maryreyes]

Is there a plugin, etc. to allow my BuddyPress/BBPress forums to be displayed in a grid-format “catalog” with an image, like this:

Forum Display

I would like to let the user choose to display the forums by category, alphabetically, or by latest activity (at a minimum).

Currently using:
BuddyPress Version 9.2.0 (not sure I like it–not trying to create a Facebook clone)
bbPress Version 2.6.9
Sydney theme (can’t find version–not sure I like it, either–not really running a blog, per se)

[theyuw]

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 ?

[sxsnationdave]

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 🙂

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

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
