Hi Rob

Sorry but I am really at a loss here.

The What The File plugin directed me to the index.php, I copied this to my child theme and pasted the suddested code in there, this changed my layout dramatically when viwing the forum and search results, but did noting to help with the problem, still not getting forum results in the bbpress search.

I also tried adding the code suggested in the thread, to add forum to the wp search, and installed both plugin fixes, but still wordpress ignores the forum in it’s searches.

The issue is that my forum is useless without a decent search function.

Please help.

BBCode Deluxe (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbcode-deluxe/) adds BBCode markup (and other shortcodes) to WordPress and BBPress. This plugin is a fork of the unmaintained (but well loved and used) “bbPress2 BBCode” plugin by Anton Channing (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/).

This plugin includes code from the below listed developers and their plugins. More BBCodes/shortcodes will be added (such as the rest of the BBCodes from “Video and Audio BBCodes”).

• Copyright (C) 2013 Anton Channing (“Video and Audio BBCodes” and “bbPress2 BBCode”)
• Copyright (C) 2010 b0ingBall (b0ingBall BBCode plugin)
• Copyright (C) 2008 Viper007Bond (the original BBCode plugin)

The BBCodes are (or try to be) HTML5-compliant.

The <!-- Generated in 0.959 seconds. (121 q) --> comment comes from BuddyPress. And BuddyPress doesn’t affect the movement of topics (tryed on a fresh installation).

(I’m currently installing every plugin one by one that are active on our forum on a fresh installation, but nothing found yet.)

[Shmoo]

It’s not a solution to the problem but just a work around.

What does this mean?
I think this has something to do with it, and it’s probably part of some Gulp testing-thing they are using or so.

Ok, where could I send a patch? Should I create an SVN patch or just give a description on where to add the code?

Thank you, Stefano.

You can use oembed for embedding imgur links automatically.

You can use the img quicktag button in the toolbar if the url of the image is from a different source.

GD bbPress Attachments plugin can handle uploading images to your site directly.

If you use BuddyPress also, you can use the BuddyPress Forum Editor plugin for image uploads that way also.

[Stefano Lissa]

Looking at the code it seems there is no way to hook into that option in a easy way. One should hook into get_options for the moderation_key option but find a way to determine he is in the bbpress contect and not in the comment moderation context. If needed I can write the patch to bbpress for that, it’s one line of code!

Stefano.

[Robkk]

I see this comment in your source code and this usually is inserted from some caching plugins/software?

<!-- Generated in 0.959 seconds. (121 q) -->

If you had some caching plugins activated awhile ago, activate it again and clear the cache and see if this helps any.

IF you have server cache, you might need to check on that. Same thing if you are using something like cloudflare.

[Robkk]

How can’t you login?

What is stopping you exactly from logging in?

Do you see an error messages in the login form?

Is it redirects or 404s?

Did you try some troubleshooting to see if it was another plugin conflict? It could also be a security or a spam plugin that could cause this type of issue.

Troubleshooting

[Robkk]

Did you try any troubleshooting?

Troubleshooting

Maybe clear any cache collected on your cpu and make sure your forum role is in fact the keymaster role.

[Robkk]

There might be some code snippet you can find, or a plugin like the Display Posts Shortcode plugin that might help you here.

function rkk_show_specific_cat() { 
 echo do_shortcode("[post_in_cat_shortcode]");
}

add_action('bbp_template_after_forums_index','rkk_show_specific_cat');

[Robkk]

Add this custom CSS anywhere you can put custom css like your child themes style.css file or a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-reply-revision-log img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topic-revision-log img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums .widget_display_topics img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums .widget_display_replies img.avatar {
    float: none;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    vertical-align: middle;
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
}

You can use this function (and add it where you can put php code snippets, like your child themes functions.php file or in a plugin like functionality) in this topic to increase those 14px avatars to say 24px.

Resizing Avatars

[webplayer]

I figured out to put the file in the directory and then to ssh to the directory and run this command:

patch < 2690.01.patch

But when I did that I got this back:

patching file activity.php
Hunk #1 FAILED at 275.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file activity.php.rej

Does that mean the patch is outdated?

[AilyRoot]

conversion is completed but username’s password is not converted but DOC says it will be converted https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/invision/

any idea why is this?

we are going to bbpress from ipb 3.4.7

[DevynCJohnson]

@Robkk , thank you for your time.

1. I did see the option for oEmbeds. However, after disabling oEmbeds and using WP-Sweep to remove all oEmbeds, WP-Sweep still finds oEmbeds after a few days. Currently, I wrote my own code to disable them.

5. The Report content plugin has not been updated since November of 2014.

12. True, I have tried BuddyPress’s upload-avatar feature and the various upload-avatar plugins, but they no longer work after I upgraded by website to HTML5. Notice that I mentioned that I can still upload media via the backend. My backend is using HTML4. You are right though, this is probably something for WordPress to implement rather than BBPress.

This is a rather huge branch off of the forum that was offered by Sceko in this topic:

bbPress like Flarum

The default view shows all topics, color coded with a unique font awesome icon assigned to each category.

If you click on one of the main categories, whether it be public, support, or the restricted area, it will now show all topics including children forums of that particular category in this view. It also shows all children forums of that category as well:

Last but not least the reply look for viewing a topic shows not only the badges from mycred, but the picture rank as well.

[Robkk]

I think the the urls to the replies should be okay by default.

Are you using a plugin for custom reply notifications?? I know some may have a wrong shortcode in place of the notification emails for new replies in topics that would link to the single replies.

[Robkk]

Sorry for the really late reply, but see if this helps you. I know it is not duplicating and instead moving, but I feel like this is what you are trying to do.

Common Tasks

[Robkk]

Sorry for the late reply, I just approved your topic.

Does it not work like this if you enabled the forum prefix??

http://yoursite/forums/view/latest-topics/

Also if you used the view shortcodes, it should be that specific page url.

[aluxi33]

These two bbpres shortcodes I added to my Main Menu are not working. They were working fine yesterday but not it says ‘That page can’t be found’.

My website: http://mysite.com/recent-replies/

http://mysite.com/view/latest-topics/

[Robkk]

Sorry for the late reply, I just approved your topic.

The files you may want to edit are.

loop-search-forum.php
loop-search-topic.php
loop-search-reply.php
loop-search.php

These templates are in the bbPress plugin, and you can copy them over into your child theme so that customizations won’t be lost after a bbPress plugin update.

I am not sure if expression engine only searches for topics, but I cannot find how to exclude certain posts from the forum search.

You can also use some search enhancing plugins if you want. There are some plugins that search custom post types like Search Everything. I have also seen users hook up Google Custom Search too.

[Robkk]

I think you disabled the forum search or just haven’t enabled it.

As an alternative you can also include the bbPress posts into the regular WordPress search.

Plugin, snippet, hack to include bbpress topics in wordpress search

From what I could see, on your bbPress pages there was blog post data like the continue reading button.
You may need to create a bbpress.php file to get rid of all the post meta data on your bbPress pages.

Getting Started in Modifying the Main bbPress Template

[Robkk]

Sorry I didn’t see approve the topic you created last week, but I did approve this one.

Right now I am just going to go through this list real quick right now, but I might discuss more later today or after you reply again.

• 1 – THere is an option to enable/disable oembeds, maybe disabling feeds could be useful though. SEO options may stay in a seperate plugin, but it depends on what specific things, maybe custom titles since you mentioned that.
• 2 – SEO might be best if it was a seperate plugin like Yoasts plugin. The most important meta tags for your forums are the title and description tag, all the others are handled by either WordPress/your theme or another SEO plugin.
• 3 – I can’t really say much about bbcodes, you can already use the html tags. You probably want something like spoiler tags I bet.
• 4 – I can’t really say much about this either, it’s really a toss up. There needs to more people wanting this feature in core possibly? It might be better to have the autosuggest feature in the forum search instead.
• 5 – Toss up for the external links plugin. I really like the Report content plugin.
• 6 – bbPress already does this and the devs have this in mind for users. There probably shouldn’t be options for everything possible though, the settings area might become cluttered.
• 7 – Yeah, maybe.
• 8 – Not sure, I need a devs opinions on this.
• 9 – There was a plugin that use to customize things like this, and it seems to be removed from the WordPress plugin repository.
• 10 – I think I made a trac ticket about this, this might be possible with some other pieces of code implemented into bbPress 2.6.
• 11 – You can easily do this with an SEO plugin.
• 12 – I don’t think those plugins require flash to be used?? BuddyPress already has an upload avatar function. Heck it might be good for WordPress to implement something like this but they want users to use the Gravatar service, which is pretty handy though.
• 13 – Grunion Contact Form is in the Jetpack plugin now. I don’t think bbPress should have a contact form module in it.
• 14 – I think this might matter more in your theme. I think the bbPress templates are fine though.

I am the owner and admin of http://dcjtech.info/ and I love computer programming. Not only do I love programming, but I love to help other developers. I would like to contribute to BBPress by offering some suggestions and ideas.

Please keep in mind that these are just my ideas; I understand that the BBPress team has ideas, needs, and concerns of their own that they must address. In addition, even though I learned a lot about the WordPress and BBPress framework and inner workings, I admit that there are some parts that I may have over-looked or mis-understood. In summary, I am trying to help make BBPress better and more powerful based on what I know, and I want to contribute my ideas as a thanks to all the developers that have spent time and effort making BBPress what it is today.

Now, for my ideas –

1. BBPress needs more options and configurable items – the more customizable, the better. Obviously, some developers are concerned about confusing or overwhelming users, so make a special admin page for “advanced” or “miscellaneous” options. Some additional options I think are needed or helpful include disable/enable feeds, specific control over oEmbeds and auto-embed-links, and settings for SEO/SMO control (discussed in #2).

2. Settings and controls for Search Engine Optimization (SEM) and Social Media Optimization (SMO) – SEM and SMO are important to many web admins. Adding options to configure such features may be wise. The “author” meta tag (and others) could be generated on a per-topic basis (if the admin enables such a feature). Here are some links for HTML5 meta tags for SEM and SMO (https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/issues/1674 && https://gist.github.com/charlesmudy/b3740c73d5f4d5d5c1f4 && https://thomas.vanhoutte.be/miniblog/dynamic-html5-meta-tags-for-wordpress-header-php-file/)

3. Integrate BBCodes and Shortcodes – This may be something the WordPress should do, or the BBPress developers could pass this idea to them. Add features and options for BBCodes. I think that merging “bbpress2 BBCode” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/), “bbpress2 shortcode whitelist” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/), and some ideas from GD BBpres Tools (https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-tools/).

4. Add topic auto-suggestion – This feature can easily be added by merging this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-auto-suggest-topics-based-on-new-topic-title/ .

5. Integrate other small, but helpful plugins – “External Links” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/sem-external-links/) and “BBPress Report Content” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-report-content/) seem like candidates for merging.

6. Disable/Enable BBPress modules/parts – Obviously, some people may not like or want “BBPress Report Content” or other plugins and features I suggest for merging and adding. The best solution may be to provide a special options page for disabling/enabling certain “BBPress modules” and features. For instance, I use “BBPress Report Content” and I disabled (and I dislike) the BBPress “SPAM” admin-link in my forums. Having more detailed and advanced options may help people like me. Also, more advanced options would (hopefully) make people less likely to edit core files.

7. Export/Import BBPress settings – Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think BBPress has an easy way to export/save settings to be imported to use as a backup or transfer/share settings.

8. View counter – I think it would be useful to many people to have a “view counter” feature such as I have programmed in my website (http://dcjtech.info/forum/articles/general-computing/). It would be great if BBPress included options for view counters such as displaying topic views in the BBPress-Notice and forum columns (like where I replaced “voices/replies” with “views/viewed”.

9. Options to custom notices and other messages – Some people (like me and others seen on this BBPress forum) want to change “voices” or remove it. Having easy options for this may be helpful.

10. Better forum access control – I would find it helpful to be able to specify that on a particular forum or sub-forum that users with particular permissions can only create new topics or reply.

11. Remove “Topic:” from title – I see a need for some people (like me) to be able to easily configure the appearance of titles (both on the page and in the HTML “title” tag).

12. Implement a built-in avatar system (perhaps BuddyPress or WordPress should use this rather than BBPress) – This would allow local avatars and provide a way for Gravatar to be disabled or used as a secondary. True, BuddyPress provides a way to upload avatars, and “Basic User Avatars” and “Simple Local Avatars” are plugins offering that feature. However, after upgrading my theme to HTML5 and removing Flash from my browser, I can no longer upload avatars using any of the three mentioned possibilities (backend or frontend). However, I can still upload media via the backend (w/o Flash) and via the frontend (with Flash). NOTE: I do list “plupload.full.min.js” and other similar scripts in Autoptimze “Exclude list”.

13. Perhaps, “Grunion Contact Form” should be updated and integrated in BBPress.

14. 100% HTML5 Compliant – I have not studied BBPress in this perspective, so it is possible that I may be very wrong or the developers have a plan already. However, use of HTML5 (or the option to do so) would be helpful.

If you see any features on my website that you want to implement in BBPress, feel free to let me know and then I can give you the code and tell you how I did it. Also, I use my own style sheets for BBPress, BuddyPress, and some plugins. I have been able to increase performance and decrease size by using a CSS minifier (http://csscompressor.com/) and implementing ideas from errors given by a CSS checker (http://csslint.net/). I saw significant improvements even before I changed the style sheets to specifically suit my website.

By the way, making BBPress templates that can be placed in the regular WordPress template was a great idea and feature for BBPress; smart thinking BBPress developers.

[Robkk]

Sorry for the late reply, your topic was marked as spam and I had to manually approve it.

Bulk accepting users in groups might be better to ask the BuddyPress support team.

I did find this though, so maybe ask them to see if they would add it to core/or if the code snippet would help you.
