Found out –
you can simply use Widgets inside your template.

I also installed the tehnik-bbpress-permissions plugin to not show the hidden forums topics and put this into my template:

<?php the_widget( 'Tehnik_BBP_Replies_Widget', $instance, $args ); ?> 

This should work with the default BBP Replies Widget, too (just need to find out the name of it)

Will try a bit more customization today with an eye on https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget

Another possibility is manually:

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_index' ); ?>

        <?php if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ) ) : ?>
                <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'recent-topics' ); ?>
        <?php else : ?>
                <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/feedback', 'no-topics' ); ?>
        <?php endif; ?>

	<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_topics_index' ); ?>

Sage words? Nope 😉

I had a quick look around https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=bulk+users and nothing really stood out.

The most users I have played around with is ~4,000 and that was too many also for the WordPress admin dashboard. I ended up doing everything I needed directly in phpMyAdmin with SQL queries.

A way to delete users an reattribute their posts/topics/replies to another user (mainly for a handful of folks who already had accounts on the WordPress side before migrating vBulletin over)

With only a handful of these use WordPress’ built in user delete tool, when you select to delete a user you have the option to delete all posts (including topics & replies) or keep them an attribute them to another user.

A way to “nuke” users who have spammed the forums. This would delete the user as well as all of their topics and replies.

First you are going to have to find the spam and record each user id associated and this is painful indeed! I am not to sure on the specifics but there probably is a way to get Akismet to check all of this for you.

A way to purge all users with no forum topics or replies (or posts, for that matter).

I think the quickest way for this would be in phpMyAdmin directly using an SQL query.
The query (Good to verify this stuff before you delete them)

SELECT ID FROM wp_users
WHERE ID NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM wp_posts);

The delete queries (Any user without a post gets deleted)
DELETE FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM wp_posts);
DELETE FROM wp_users WHERE ID NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT post_author FROM wp_posts);

Okay, so I am working on a migration from vBulletin to bbPress. Everything moved over fine, but now I have over 60k users. This causes a real problem when I want to delete a user, because the Delete User screen creates a pick list with all 60k names!

Here’s what I’m looking for…

1. A way to purge all users with no forum topics or replies (or posts, for that matter).
2. A way to “nuke” users who have spammed the forums. This would delete the user as well as all of their topics and replies.
3. A way to delete users an reattribute their posts/topics/replies to another user (mainly for a handful of folks who already had accounts on the WordPress side before migrating vBulletin over)

Any sage words of advice?

Anybody got any ideas???

Come on BBPress Gurus, I know you’re out there…

sounds interesting to me.

Hi,
I am building a multilingual (WPML plugin) website with a Bbpress forum inside. The forum is not multilingual and the fact that bbpress uses page.php to generate its pages causes the flag icons to display. They are not needed and they point to nowhere …
So I have to suppress the flags icons in the header when the page.php is displaying a forum.
But how can I test (in php) that I am in the forum ?

Thanks for any clue.

hello
I am so confusing with my forums.
It seems that both lagacy buddypress forums and bbpress forums are crazy!
I can not create new topic because of this error:
“ERROR: You do not have permission to create new topics.”
please help

[Pippin Williamson]

Are you using any bbPress extensions (add-on plugins)?

Is bbPress really loading bunch of jQuery UI files?

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localdollars.ge/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core.min.js?ver=1.10.3"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localdollars.ge/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.widget.min.js?ver=1.10.3"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localdollars.ge/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.mouse.min.js?ver=1.10.3"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localdollars.ge/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.resizable.min.js?ver=1.10.3"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localdollars.ge/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.draggable.min.js?ver=1.10.3"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localdollars.ge/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.button.min.js?ver=1.10.3"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localdollars.ge/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.position.min.js?ver=1.10.3"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localdollars.ge/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.dialog.min.js?ver=1.10.3"></script>

I only see them loaded on bbPress boards.
Can somebody confirm this? Or do I need to continiue searching for this dependances in my theme?
Because bbPress now does not really have anything fancy and jQuery style to load so many libraries.

In fact everything is done with PHP.

If this is true, can somebody also point me to places where it uses one.

I edited the file plugin file called tabbed-login.php.

At line 176 edit the <div class=”userinfo”> so that it now reads…

		<div class="userinfo">
			<p><?php _e('You are logged in as ', 'tabbed-login'); ?> <strong><?php echo $user_identity; ?></strong></p>
			<p>
				<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url($current_url); ?>"><?php _e('Log out', 'tabbed-login'); ?></a> | 
				<?php if (current_user_can('manage_options')) { 
					echo '<a href="' . admin_url() . '">' . __('Admin', 'tabbed-login') . '</a>'; } else { 
					echo '<a href="' . bbp_get_user_profile_url( get_current_user_id() ) . '">' . __('Profile', 'tabbed-login') . '</a>'; } 
					// Updated using bbp_get_user_profile_url( get_current_user_id() to link to BBPress profile page instead of the WP profile page
					?>							
			</p>
		</div>

Hope this helps!

Hi! I found out that this “who is online function” is in progress. This the link I’ve read about this, hope it helped you: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1792

[tina_sk]

No one?

I tryied to deactivate all plugins, but it´s still not working :/

[Pippin Williamson]

Are you actually running bbPress 0.2.2.1 or was that a typo?

[blessedtoes]

Thanks, Robin. That was wonderfully easy. DO you have suggestions about where I could read / learn about how the emails are managed? I assume there’s some internal database within bbPress but would like to see if I can connect it to MailChimp. Thanks again.

[Stephen Edgar]

I don’t have any issues with search widget.

I can’t see your forums

Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.

Possibly try resaving your permalinks:

To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again

[Stephen Edgar]

You shouldn’t have any as ‘anonymous’ unless for some reason the importer couldn’t convert a user for some reason, maybe because no email address with their old forum profile. This really shouldn’t be happening and if it is we need to have a look as to why this is happening and fix it.

I also presume you ran the repair tools after importing?

A simple solution. Thank you so much. That worked beautifully.

Hi,

using the bbpress theme inside a modified 2012 theme, I get to see the topic in the topic list: http://www.ausstellungpro.de/Foren/forum/adressen-ausstellungpro/ “Infos für Erstnutzer/innen”

However, clicking on it, brings me to http://www.ausstellungpro.de/Foren/topic/infos-fuer-erstnutzerinnen/ where the headline and the contents of the topic disappear.

Which file of the theme is handling this? What should I change?

(It would be great, if the developers would be able to put more up more documentation regarding the bbpress theme, especially a flowchart, which file calls which other file and a list of the files with a short explanation what they are for.
Alternatively a stripped down bbpress theme would be great with just five basic files – less sophisticated, with less functions but easier to understand for starting upfront.)

And did I say, thank you for providing this plugin open source? I hope so.

Hi –

I am running the All-in-One Event Calendar by Timely, and it seems to be causing a conflict with bbPress. The problem is, the calendar is a very integral part of the site currently, and I do not have a choice of deleting it.

Is there a way around the conflict.

I am getting the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” error that some others have been getting.

Thanks in advance.

Daniel

Just create a page in your menu system called forums wherever you want it, and add the following shortcode
[bbp-forum-index]

My bbpress search widget doesn’t work. When i search anything it shows 404 error.
Here is my site link

I followed the instructions for installing the WordPress plugin of bbPress.

However, doing this invariably puts the live bbPress forum in the following directory:
/mysite.com/blog/forums

Clicking the /blog breadcrumb will drop my users into the weblog. Ideally, I’d prefer to have the nesting as follows:
/mysite.com/classrooms/forums

But if that’s not possible, having it exist as /mysite.com/forums would also work.

The most recent thread I could find on this issue was four years ago, and suggested using freestanding bbPress, which won’t work with my membership software (MemberMouse).

Thanks for any help you can offer on changing my setup.

Current site is password-secured DEV: WordPress Version 3.6.1, bbPress v.2.4

Just realized I did not add the necessary information on the original post….

WP Version: 3.6

I am having a weird problem with my forum, and I can’t find too many other people who are having the same issue.

What are the basic troubleshooting steps I need to go through to try to figure it out?

If I am not logged in, I see my forum home page just fine. If I am an admin, I see it just fine. You can see it here: http://genvines.com/discussion/

However, if I am logged in as anything but an admin, it looks like this, with the title only, no forum structure:

http://genvines.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/problem.png

I have not been able to try it in TwentyTen or TwentyEleven, that’s next on my list.

I tried saving permalinks again, I disabled most of my plugins, there are still a couple I need to try to disable and see what happens but need to make sure everything is backed up first.

I would like to reset the forums but can’t figure out how. How do you do that?

Anything else I need to try?

Thanks…..
