Hi:

Thanks for creating the importer [and forum].

Just done an import from Drupal 7 forum, to bbpress 2.6.9 on WordPress 5.8.3.

It seems to have worked well.

Just odd that in listings like forums, forum topics, get 0 posts and 0 topics listed; even tho can click through and see the posts and replies.

I’ve tried running the Repair Forums tools [all of them, just in case! – didn’t get any reports from them, in case there should be]. But not helped.

Also added a test post; and sure enough this was counted.
– so I can carry on with the forum, just an oddity to have the Drupal posts/topics not counted.

Currently wpress.drmartinwilliams.com/forums

The message is generated by bbPress as an alert on the WP dashboard. Some explanation here:

I’m dealing with a website that went through a period of neglect in which it was bombarded with registration spam and spam posts to its bbPress board. Nearly all the spam posts were caught by Akismet, so they aren’t being displayed. We’re installing reCaptcha and possibly other measures to prevent additional registration spam and cut down on spam posts.

The problem is the size of the database. Tens of thousands of spam posts that were caught by Akismet remain in the database, with the vast majority in status “pending” (although they don’t appear in the pending folder). The number is so large that manual deletion is not practical. The tentative plan is to use SQL to remove these posts and their metadata. Likewise, it seems we SQL will be needed to remove a huge number of bogus users and their metadata.

The dashboard has a message saying we need to perform a manual database upgrade due to the size of the forum. We aren’t sure how to proceed: perform these deletions in SQL and then do the upgrade, or do the upgrade first? Presumably the upgrades will proceed faster with a 90% reduction in the size of the database if we do the SQL operations first, but I don’t know if there are other considerations that point the other way. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I found the answer to my problem. The problem is a conflict between Yoast SEO and BBPress

Hello,
I have a problem with the display of the breadcrumbs. On my local bbpress forum they appear well and all works. But on the online version I do not see them appear. It’s the same code and the same settings.

[marcosmodop]

WP version: 5.8.3
bbpress version: 2.6.9
site is in a local environment at the moment.

I’m trying to update the role for the users once they enroll in course. I manage to found an entry point for this with “learndash_update_course_access” once there is an update in the user courses list. This part works. What is giving me troubles is the update of the user bbpress roles.
This is the most raw code I try:

add_action( 'learndash_update_course_access', 'updatebbpressrole', 20, 4 );
function updatebbpressrole ($user_id, $course_id, $course_access_list, $remove) {
	$new_role_forum_role = "bbp_blocked";
	bbp_set_user_role( $user_id, $new_role_forum_role );
}

I try with a pair of custom roles I have, but it also happens with the basics bbpres roles too, so is not related to the new roles.
Also I try with the update in the root of functions.php this works, sort of, because the update is done, but the select dropdown in the user profile in the admin page get stuck in the old one, but in code the selected one is the updated, if I get out and enter again is fixed.
Any idea about why bbp_set_user_role is not working this way ?

In my forum the breadcrumbs or whatever they’re called show up with the same text twice.

How can I remove one of them?

(I’m not 100% sure this is a bbPress problem but maybe someone can help me out.)

Hello there,

When viewing a topic, there is at least 3 or 4 replies, but still bbpress shows that message “This topic is empty.”

ok, that is not the bbpress widget but a shortcode – bbpress has both for login.

what would you like the shortcode to do that is not standard?

[gr19rute]

The problem is known for years. I’ve tried this solution:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2785
But it doesn’t work anymore.
Does anybody knows an actual tested fix?

Hi,

I’m trying to access the bbPress widget settings but WP opens the “new” widget editor when I go to Apperance –> Widgets. I have WordPress 5.8.3 Installed, and newest bbPress.

How can I access these settings show in this image:

In the background there is what I get and in the foreground what I want. It is from a tutorial I’m following.

I want to add the widget to the page with a Shortcode, and links aren’t working if I don’t have access to settings.

[Robin W]

you first questions are I think members press related, so need to be referred to them.

bbpress works on topics and replies – it’s logic is that you can’t reply to nothing, so yes you need a topic 🙂

[sasasasaaa]

I use wordpress 5.7.1 and bbpress 2.6.9

[sasasasaaa]

Hello,
if I create a topic or reply to a topic I have to fill out the box “Topic text”. In my form is no description above the texarea which explains what to fill out here. “Topic text” is missing.

I use a German translation .po. Is might the string not added? Can you give me the name of the englisch “topic text”, so I can check if it works?

I have looked add the templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php but couldn’t find the string there.

Thanks a lot

i am looking for some help as currently i am using BBPress with my Memberpress Course plugin (online course subscription). I am working on the user dashboard and there is a tab called “forum profile” which I think is for their BBPress forum profile. When I click “edit” as the user, it takes me to a page where they can edit their forum profile info, but it also is showing some other strange info like our site blog posts and their points that they’ve earned. There is also no way for them to edit their profile photo. Does anyone know how to fix this by chance?
A second question is as a user, they can make a post but it has to have a topic. is there anyway for them to just post or do they need a topic to start a conversation?
My wordpress is 5.8.2 using the astra theme and the plugin is memberpress and memberpress courses which integrates with bbpress.
Thank you so much.

Hello,

I am having problem with search results page, it looks like this, it overlaps with my theme header: https://gyazo.com/ac8e4ee8ca7d772124fac635e9342ea4

Where can I modify the search results page?

Also, the forum style looks super dated, how can I make it o look like this: https://gyazo.com/1a26b445dd8db18ac64b0ad793602b4b

Does it have to be done through custom css only, are there any templates or ready to use css somewhere?

Thank you in advance!

Private groups

is an add-on to bbpress and will let you split your forums into as many groups as you like.

membership plugins tend to assign roles to members if you want different membership types, and then private groups plugin can then assign these to the forum groups

Hi,

First time posting; first time looking at bbPress.

I use SMF on a forum I manage, so that’s the only platform I can compare.

In my SMF I put new users (in our private forums) into two different membergroups based on their registration (i’d like to to more to be honest).

We’re getting bigger, and I’d like to use something like Ultimate Member for registration.
If I use Ultimate Member to make a lengthy registration form (it’s for a non-profit that needs to collect a lot of data on each) can I use THAT to funnel folks into the proper member group–avoiding manual massaging?

thanks for taking a look.

[Milan Petrovic]

That option doesn’t affect search process. You should trace how the search is done and if it affects bbPress.

[Adeel Mughal]

if it’s wp search then why do they have setting bbpress forum-wide search in bbpress settings?

should I need to look at wp search core code or queries?

[Milan Petrovic]

bbPress search has no options, it is the same as WP search, so if you havw code modifying WP search it will affect bbPress search also.

[Adeel Mughal]

Thanks for replying.

Title and content, and topic replies are not considered as content? that’s why not search from topic replies?

Do I have to do that customization on bbpress search side? because right now I am using default bbpress search.

Can you tell me where should I have to add code or can you refer me to any site where I can check and modify code

[Adeel Mughal]

We have an issue in bbpress search when we search any keyword using bbpress default search form, search results display only by matching keywords that exist in topic titles.

We need results from topic replies too.

We are using the following versions
WP: Version 5.8.2
bbpress: Version 2.6.9
Server: nginx
