Oh shoot your right Doug. I might have suggested the wrong thing.
I have also seen this happen with TinyMCE activated. It seems to be iOS users and they claim that they haven’t pasted anything, but I have not observed this for myself yet.
I have no idea if it could be IOS specific?? I can check I guess?? Damn thats weird if it is.

You will need to use this since you copied text to your forums. Pasting other articles content in the Visual Editor in TinyMCE could end up posting the HTML content, its recommended to post any articles content into the HTML editor, but you can also use this PHP code snippet from this guide below, that I think Doug did add, that would help resolve this issue that could be caused pasting articles in the visual editor for any further posts submitted.
function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
$plugins[] = 'paste';
return $plugins;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins', 'bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text' );
https://codex.bbpress.org/enable-visual-editor/
For editing the already messed up posts, I think you can just copy the original post, edit it, and paste the text into the HTML editor over the original content and hopefully that would fix it. THere might be also a chance of it going away just by editing it, then just republishing after you used the code snippet.
No, you should not be using phpBB Converter file 5795, you should be using the version that is included with 2.6-alpha.
That will fix the problem in your screenshot.
It does give stats as it imports, you should be something similar to:
If you also view the source of the page, right click and “inspect” will also bring this up, you should see some debug code showing the SQL queries being performed during the import:
The forums, if imported will be in the wp_posts table of your WordPress database, if you filter the posts and search the post_type column for forum, topic, or reply you should see any imported posts.
sorry the code is/was untested.
Try this with a correction
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles['my_custom_role1'] = array(
'name' => 'vip',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
On the importer screen there is an option to select what forum you are importing from, I presume you selected phpBB from that dropdown?
Install the other wpfix 2 plugin. It should have the same code snippet you are trying to use, without having to place any code anywhere.
I recommend users who are beginners to not edit bbPress core files. Or any other plugin/theme/wordpress core files unless you know exactly what you are doing code wise.
Okay, yeah this site does have an interesting layout.

From what I can see real quick.
Your not going to edit the loop-single-reply.php file like @netweb suggested, because after clicking the reply title link you are redirected to a normal layout single reply. So to get this layout you are going to edit content-single-topic.php, remove the pagination, and place a custom template instead of loop-replies..php so that you won’t mess with replies in a forum profile.
<?php if ( bbp_has_replies() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Replace the above code with this for example.
<?php if ( bbp_has_replies() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'classic-threads' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
The code that will be in loop-classic-threads.phpwill be a copy of loop-replies.php and a very minimal loop-single-reply.php. Wherever say <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-reply' ); ?> is called in the new loop-classic-threads.php file, I would just copy the whole loop-single-reply.php template where that get template function was and keep only the code you need.
The code that is going to be in the area you put the loop-single-reply.php code is only going to have the username, date, maybe the reply positions, and reply title. The reply title is going to mostly come from a customized version of the bbPress reply title plugin. But you are going to output the reply title in the template as a link. A link (I think bbp_reply_url() is the right function ) to the single reply template, which is only 1 reply isolated, which bbPress can do.
Does this help enough??
I’m gonna see if I can recreate most of this layout later
You did try Robins plugin right. I think this plugin was created to solve this exact issue that might occur when using membership plugins. It mainly fixes a bug in bbPress that is triggered using these plugins.

There is also this which basically includes the show lead function in the plugin, that is still here.

Hi Stephen,
I had actually created the custom template previously and tried what you said. But all it does is eliminate the content and this is why I moved on to try to identify what is going on in the function. I would much rather not touch the function code and do everything via custom template for a lot of reasons including staying safe with future updates.
As it is, if I remove the reply_content code in the child theme, it still leaves the replies in there but just with no content in them other than the author area. If I remove the author area as well then I no longer see anything but there are no links to the replies.
I tried figuring out some sort of reply_url but nothing has worked for me – where I’m stuck. The closest I’ve come is to use this:
<?php bbp_reply_url(); ?>
in that same area. The result is that I get plain text urls (not hyperlinks) in a thread tree of sorts. However those links do not link to the actual content of the reply. So what you get is like this:
The topic is at the url http://testsite.com/forum/topic/test1/
The content of the original post is at the top and underneath are urls like:
August 27, 2016 at 9:04 pm http://testsite.com/forum/topic/test1/#post-10
August 27, 2016 at 9:06 pm http://testsite.com/forum/topic/test1/#post-11
August 27, 2016 at 9:03 pm http://testsite.com/forum/topic/test1/#post-8
August 27, 2016 at 9:04 pm http://testsite.com/forum/topic/test1/#post-9
If I go to any of those urls then it just displays the original post and scrolls down to where that URL exists in the tree below the original post content. The actual content of the reply is not displayed – just the content of the original post.

I undo my post above in functions file then paste the code you provide.
Then…
The site.domain page isn’t working
site.domain is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500
please help
if tyoun just want a role called VIP with participant capabilities, then undo whatever you did above, and then put this in your functions file
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {
$bbp_roles[''my_custom_role1'] = array(
'name' => 'vip',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
I have setup WordPress on a computer (Raspberry Pi3 running Ubuntu MATE 16.04) and it is working.
I installed bbPress and am trying to import my phpBB Forum http://binnie.id.au/BulletinBoard/index.php
It is unclear exactly what I need to enter in the “Import Forums” dialog.
I have tried many different options. I am assuming that this is asking for MySQL details.
My CPanel reports

I have tried

Database User iabi1038_phpb1

This chugs along, with no obvious errors, except it seems to find nothing.

If you’re using any phpBB mods this might cause issues.
You also need to make sure you use bbPress 2.6 alpha, which includes all the changes required , you cannot simply copy the changed phpBB.php file to a different bbPress version.
To use the most up to date phpBB importer use bbPress 2.6-alpha as I pointed out, if you have to use the old phpBB version use bbPress 2.5.10.
But as I’ve said, there are huge improvements to the phpBB importer in 2.6-alpha so updating phpBB to the latest version is my recommendation.
I’ve been silently lurking about here for a few months, this is my first official post.
I always try to do my best flying solo per se when it comes to troubleshooting.
Having said that, I have a quick question pertaining to the Codex ‘examples you can use’ in the functionality and layout section; if one of you might nudge me a bit then I would be most appreciative… I’m but a padawan with regard to coding/ comprehending the language, but I’m slowly learning little by little.
For ease of reference, the example I am referring to is for the following (direct copy/paste of statement): “This solution lets you add an “edit profile” to your wordpress menu – this only appears as a menu item if the user is logged in.”
To take this a step further, is it possible to get this working but not yielding it as being a main parent menu item?, perhaps it is achievable by changing some of the code in the example published in the codex?… or adding additional code?
That is, if at present there is an existing menu of Home, About, Accounts, Contact us, etc. etc…. who might be able to provide me with clues on how one could read/interpret/tweak the code provided on that codex page such that the ‘edit profile’ looks and performs exactly as intended, but rather than showing up on the main nav menu to instead have it be revealed, let’s say, under the ‘Accounts’ item, i.e., as a child to Accounts…
Yes this reveals what little I know in terms of understanding how to read code, and/but/so I’d appreciate any helpful suggestions on whether the above scenario is possible.
Thanks for reading 🙂
Cheers,
This issue is caused because the widget links have the same classes as other links throughout bbPress. In your theme mesocolumn, there is CSS in a bb-css stylesheet that bolds the forum titles.
In this custom CSS I just set a default font-weight for any widget area.
You may need to show your theme author this so that maybe they can add it or something similar to their theme.
And I need to note this down as a possible issue that users might occur when customizing their forums/developing themes.
This is custom CSS add it in the custom css area your theme provides.
.widget-area li a {
font-weight: normal;
}
Hi All,
I already spent two hours working on this, but failed miserably.
I want to change the font of the topics listed in Recent Topics widget as normal, instead of bold style.
Which code should I change?
I tried in bbpress.css, line 166, it seems it has no effect at all.
Please see this image: the font is too bold, I want it be normal
Thanks very much.
Its a common issue related to WordPress comments theme styling having issues with bbPress replies since they have a common class attribute .reply.
Since your theme is a free WP theme, I was able to test it out real quick to see the issues.
Use all this custom CSS, add it into a child themes style.css file or in a custom css plugin.
Know that if it does not work, try adding !important at the end, for example like this.
Also know that some of the CSS is for your replies links color, so change that if you end up changing your links color so that it would match.
.example {
position: relative !important;
right: auto !important;
}
Here is all the custom CSS you would need to use to fix your theme related issue.
#bbpress-forums .reply a {
position: relative;
right: auto;
bottom: auto;
display: initial;
padding: 0;
border: none;
font-size: inherit;
text-transform: none;
-webkit-transition: none;
transition: none;
}
#bbpress-forums .reply a {
border-color: inherit;
color: #BF4D28;
}
#bbpress-forums .reply a:hover {
color: #E6AC27;
background-color: inherit;
}
You shouldn’t need to edit any of bbPress functions.
You can achieve what you are after by adding your own custom templates:
This is a guide to getting started with these: https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/amending-bbpress-templates/
This is a helpful reference for bbPress’ templates: https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/template-hierarchy-in-detail/
What I think you’d be looking to do is make changes to your child themes loop-single-reply.php template so that only the links to replies are there by removing bbp_reply_content() .
Yeah you can probably do it. You may need to customize the bbPress templates in a child theme. Then just add a link where it says to login in html or php. I think the files you will need to edit are in the form-reply.php and form-topic.php files.
https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/
You can use this
Mediapress BBpress Gallery Insert From Editor
It works with media press but even if you dont use mediapress it works by adding the img bbcode into the posts.
Hi there, sorry it has taken so long to reply to this.
The code you gave me works but the email address overlaps with the text in the post.
Any idea how to fix that?
Thanks again
Hi everyone 🙂
I want my bbPress threads to be automatically marked as “solved” if the question (first message) gets 50 upvotes (yeah, I know that’s weird) and the upvotes/downvotes to get blocked. Yet, I want the thread to remain “open” even while it is solved, allowing users to keep on writing answers.
Is there some code (something like “if $upvotes>=’50’ { $threadStatus=’Solved’ };”) I could use to achieve that?
