Is there any way to bulk-move topics?

I run a Once Upon a Time podcast and forums with bbPress. We have a spoiler section for each episode of the TV show. After that episode has aired, I like to move the spoiler topics into the main discussion for the TV show. This was easy with phpBB, but bbPress doesn’t seem to offer this feature.

When I go to Admin > Topics and filter the list by a forum parent, I have no options for changing that forum parent or moving the topics in any way.

How can I do this easily on a regular basis? Editing each topic individually is not practical.

bbpress version is actually 2.4. I accidentally took that # from another plugin.

I am having the same problem with bbPress 2.4.
In my case, I am also using buddypress (1.8.1) with Group forums.
The interplay between hidden groups in bbPress and buddypress hidden groups is a bit confusing. Buddypress allows for granular membership levels in its Group forums (for unlimited and different sets of members), whereas bbPress does not (only three levels of membership). This appears to be wreaking havoc with my security settings. For example, anything posted in a buddypress hidden forum is appearing in my sitewide activity – even to non-logged in members. I suspect this may have something to do with the conflict I describe above (because the bbPress forum is ‘Public’, even though the buddypress Group is ‘hidden’).
I look forward to a fix soon.

Hi, we have installed the follow:
WordPress Network version 3.6.1
bbPress version 2.4

I do not have found some way to prevent the instant publish of topics and replies loaded by Participants.
There is a way, to do the approval for the publish of the topics and replies by the Blog Administrator or by Blog Editor ?

BuddyPress’ forums are powered by bbPress. BuddyPress doesn’t include forums.

I am not familiar enough to answer the ‘images in activity’ hopefully you can find something on https://buddypress.org/support/

This has been a long standing issue.

The problem here is that, in the user profile favorites page, only topics that are created by the user and marked as favorite shows up. Any topic that is not created by the user and marked as favorite will not show up in user profile page.

Is this by design or is this a bug?

I am using WordPress default theme with only bbPress plugin.

Hey everyone.

I really could do with some help as I am trying to see if BBPress is the way forward.

I want to show images inline on the activity feed. Is this possible? I know it can be done in buddypress but want to use BBPress.

As a sub question. What are the benefits of using BBPress over BuddyPress? I can add friends, post in groups etc with BP so why use forums inside groups?

Any help or advice deeply appreciated peeps.

I am using WordPress 3.6.1 with plugins Buddypress 1.8.1 and bbpress 2.3. I am trying to import the latest topics and replies from specific bbpress forums into specific wordpress pages.

I started with a Mysql query:

$query=”SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘topic’ OR post_type = ‘reply’ ORDER BY post_date DESC”;

Then (in pseudo code) I planned to do the following:

// since forum is a parent of topic which is a parent of reply
// if post is topic get forum id
// if post is reply get forum id from the parent of the topic
//create an array of latest topics and replies associated with their forums
//print latest topics and replies for each forum to different wordpress pages.

The problem I cannot seem to solve is – where to get the name of the forum from? Without getting the name of the forum from somewhere in the database, my only option would seem to be to hardcode the forum id’s of each forum with their respective names. Which means every time a new forum is created this needs to be added in manually in the code. None of the tables I see in the wp database seems to contain the names of the different forums. Even if one of the other tables did contain it I am still not sure how I would then associate the forum id’s from the wp_posts table with the forum names from another table – presumably I would have to do some kind of join? Or maybe I am going about it completely the wrong way – is anyone able to help an inexperienced developer out of his depth navigate his way through this problem?

Hi,

I’m currently installing a BBpress forum.

I’ve two problems :

-I can’t change the “visibility” of a forum or a category : It’s doesn’t save the change.
Have you any idea to fix this problem ?

And also, I want to know if is possible to “separate” the different category of my BBpress forum since a PHPBB forum ?

Thank’s !

Guys, we are proud to announce that the new Rating-Widget plugin release supports BuddyPress & bbPress ratings. And the Premium version even support aggregated user ratings which is calculated based on all user’s activities.

Read about the announcement:

@bigblueball Can I ask why you left vBulletin for bbPress?

I’m looking for an alternative to bbPress because I can’t fix it, it doesn’t work well and has poor support documentation.

I don’t want to make the same mistake again and so I’d appreciate a little feedback on vBulletin.

Thanks

I checked the code of this plugin and it uses a filter on bbp_has_forums that tries to catch the $args from the original query but they are not transmitted through the filter in bbPress, so it uses the default ones and doesn’t take care of the post_parent argument. You should try to contact the author of the plugin, maybe he can alter the query without parsing all args again. The Codex says it is possible with $query->set().

[inspirationally]

Aaaah there we have it. I use Tehnik BBPress Permissions, too!
Now I have to see how to combine both. With deactivating your code works perfectly!

Thanks so much!!

I am having this same conflict. I would very much like to use bbPress, but am most certainly not getting rid of my ai1ec. I am currently using the free 1.10.0 version of ai1ec, but does anyone know if this issue is resolved if I go to the purchased ver 1.11.3?

I made the author and content one larger div in my single-loop-reply template. I wanted to span the author name/link and the content into one paragraph but was stymied by the added div id “d4p-bbp-quote-222” now that I paste that, it looks like a plugin added that. Isn’t that typically what the “d4p-….” is in the id/class name? a plugin?

So to answer the question, you are saying that there is nothing in the bbpress code itself that adds a “div” tag to the author or reply sections? If that is true, then I am off and running.

[manuxel]

Well, here are some ideas.

[glow=red,2,300]Glow[/glow] – What do we want to translate this to?
This is obviously a CSS Text-shadow without offset and with a little blur so the only thing that comes to my mind would be to convert this to a SHORTCODE and add in the documentation of the converter how to add it manually to the user’s wordpress install and to the theme CSS, since I can’t think of another way for this to work.
[shadow=red,left]shadow[/shadow] – What do we want to translate this to?
Same as the above but with a little offset to the 4 sides being able to pick a side in the shortcode and without blur.
[move]marquee[/move] – What do we want to translate this to?
JUST REMOVE IT, it’s ugly and old
[tt] – teletype? should this be a monospaced font?

And as for the smileys (extra space added so these render in code block)

WP 3.6.1
BBP 2.4
(buddypress 1.8.1 if that’s relevant)

I am trying to style my loop-single-reply template.
I am working on a copy placed in my wp_theme/bbpress directory…it is a copy of the default.

The problem is in the bbp reply DIV (that contains the author div and the content div). I need to get the content function to stop automatically adding “div” tags around the content (I want to use span tags).

I have tried to follow the rabbit trail through the files to figure out where these DIV tags are getting added, and the best I can figure is that there is a filter putting them in there.

I only need the actual content and so I have commented out the filter applied in includes/replies/template.php around line 525, and simple replaced it with return $content

That worked, but now bbcode is not working. Is there a way to stop this behavior without altering the bbpress plugin files (which will get destroyed during an upgrade)?

My forum is private, but I can set a public test one up if that will help…

[Jolandapiew]

Hallo,

I changed my bbpress forum language to dutch by using the bbpress-plugin-pt-br.mo. I changed it to bbrpess-nl_NL.mo en put it in the languages/bbpress file. I did change my forum language to dutch. But now when i want to make a page or post the editor is gone. I cant see anything i’m writing. Only when i select the text it is visible.
When i delete the bbpress-nl_NL.mo file in my ftp the editor is visible again, but then the forum is in english again.
Can anyone help me?

Hi,

I upgrated bbpress to 2.4 and I see that quicktags-toolbar div is empty, no buttons

<div id="qt_bbp_reply_content_toolbar" class="quicktags-toolbar"></div>

It’s working fine with all other themes. Why it’s not visible only on 1 theme? Where it’s loaded?

[Angel Candelaria]

Nevermind, I solved it. This did the trick:

Embedding YouTube and other media clips in 2.1

[Angel Candelaria]

The new WordPress 3.6.1 doesn’t have this option anymore. I know there are a few code hacks out there for changing the embed size, but those affect all the embeds on the site (including embeds on regular posts).

I was wondering: Is there a way to change the embed size for bbpress posts only?

[Stephen Edgar]

Yeah, nearly there, some suggestions for what some of those content conversions should be and testing to see if I missed any would be extremely helpful.

[manuxel]

You guys are AWESOME, I can’t believe that after years I’m finally this close to having a full integration of my forum with my wordpress, thank you for the hard work…

[FreeWPress]

ahhhhh… okkk, i have read a number versio 1.XX i think is number of bbpress, ok now i understand!! Very well is perfect for me to have all function list..

Many thanks…
