Please tell me what to write here

Now the author of topic is always admin.

//Topic Author - Guest (What code here?)

if(!($sp_topic->user_id))

{

echo("  Guest start topic: {$sp_posts[0]->guest_name}n");

// update_post_meta( $inserted_topic, '_bbp_anonymous_name', "{$sp_posts[0]->guest_name}" );

What are you using for the code allowed option on the text field here on these forums? Id like to use on my forums as well?

[Gautam Gupta]

It looks like this importer doesn’t support anonymous replies. You’d have to add the appropriate conditions yourself and re-import.

[Sniper Kitten]

Do you remember to change the forum slug in Setting > Forums in your dashboard? By default, both of them are using the page slug “forums” so there’re conflict between Group Forum & Sitewide Forum.

Read here for more info:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

For installing group & sitewide forums:

Is there some sort of code we could put into one or more of the bbpress php files to exclude it?

[soumitrad@brandmantra.net]

pagination for all topic listing in archive forum page is not working.

http://mydemozone.com/vividmagazine/web/?post_type=forum

but it is working well for topics in particular forum but in the archive-forum.php page where all topics are listing,pagination not working.

I need a help to implement pagination in the archive forum page where all topics are listed by short code and php code . but pagination not working.

[soumitrad@brandmantra.net]

pagination is not working for topic list in archive forum page. but it is working in particular forum page.

link is here

http://mydemozone.com/vividmagazine/web/?post_type=forum

when I click on 2 then it shows page not found.

how will I set pagination for topic list in archive-forum.php page.

Hi, I’m trying to activate post-thumbnail in forum post type, but it still fails. I tried with this code:

function forum_post_thumbnails () {

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'forum', 'topic', 'reply', 'post', 'page' ) ); // Posts and Movies

}

add_action('after_setup_theme', 'forum_post_thumbnails');

But it didn’t work. Any ideas on how activate it?

Thanks

[dannyjimmy]

Here’s the page I have that code on:

http://anawimcc.org/practice-and-experimental-pages/links-alternative-page/

[dannyjimmy]

I’m having a bit of trouble with this as well. And I too am on a BP install, though it would seem to me that it shouldn’t matter.

I used it like this:

- [bbp-login]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id="35"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id="link"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag $id="35"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag $id="link"]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=$topic_id]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=35]



(this is when I found the codex file for bbpress shortcodes at https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ and formatted accordingly)



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=$35]



- [bbp-single-topic-tag id=$tag_id]

And I got no forums rendered. Very confusing, since the last two were copy paste from the codex.

[kennymcnett]

I considered Buddypress, but it’s way more robust than what I’m needing, and installing it was breaking my custom theme (jquery conflict somewhere).

Thanks for looking at this.

For anyone else out there, here’s my solution for restricting bbPress access using s2member. In short, this checks if the current user has access to the most distant ancestor of the current page. For example:

Level 1 Forum/Category > Subforum1 > Subcategory > Subforum2 > Current Topic

No matter which page they arrive at in the tree, they must have access via s2member to the top-most level. Then it’s a simple matter of assigning a ccap to that Forum, or a membership level.

1. Include the following in your functions.php file

2. Include a call to the function in EACH of your bbPress template files BEFORE the template calls for the forum content. Match the HTML structure of the error message to suit your theme. You need to include closing tags for any open divs.

3. Test!

/******* bbPress Forum Access *******/

function checkForumAccess() {

if(get_post_type() == 'forum' OR get_post_type() == 'topic' OR get_post_type() == 'reply') { // check if user is viewing a forum page. If so, continue.

//check if they have access to the top-most parent forum/category (both are Pages in wordpress). If not, show the error verbiage. If they have access, continue and show the content like normal

$parent = array_reverse(get_post_ancestors($post->ID)); // get an array of all the parent pages in order from most distant to closest.

$first_parent = get_page($parent[0]); //get the first page in the array, which is the most distant parent

$int = apply_filters(‘the_ID’, $first_parent->ID); //filter the $first_parent to get only the wordpress page/post ID, which is an integer like 49 or 565. store it as a variable $int

if (!is_page_permitted_by_s2member($int)) { // this is an s2member function. Check if the current user can access the $first_parent, via the stored page/post ID in the $int variable

// here comes your custom error message. Remember to escape any apostrophes

echo ‘

<div>

Just giving this a bump. I would think there was some short code etc for this functionality that I might have missed somewhere.

‘This questions sound a bit silly, but is it helpful if someone tag a spam topic as “spam”, “spams”, “spamming”, or “spammer”? (I always do this when I see a spam topic)’

That explains why, when I come here looking for spam-fighting solutions, I turn up so much spam.

Problem: Remove sidebar from bbPress

Solution: My theme has a Full Width option

I know that if I input my shortcode into a Page, it will display the forum in the Template of my choosing. Presto, the forum index is within Full Width.

Yet when the user decides to choose a forum, they’re relegated to the Theme’s default Template, which includes the sidebar.

Meeeeh.

Is there a quick and dirty way to tell bbPress to use the Full Width template that’s already available?

Looks like you accidentally add unnecessary line in your style.css

Find the following lines:

.reply {

float:right;

margin-left:18px;



}

Remove the “float:right;” from it, leaving:

.reply {

margin-left:18px;



}

This should solve the problem.

I recently noticed that when I try to start a topic or posting a reply, it’s taking about 30+ second before the topic/reply is show up. If you try to tell me there may be a “bad plugin” and try to disable all of it except bbPress, save it. I have tried the following:

1. Using different browser.

I find out that when I try to use Firefox 12.0 to post, it’s loading extremely slow. But this is not happening in Internet Explorer 9 or Google Chrome 18.

Try to start Firefox in safe mode? Yes I have tried to do that but it doesn’t make a difference.

2. Using different user/computer.

It’s still the same.

3. Try to post a comment in a normal post.

I was able to comment a post without any problems, so I think it may be a “bad plugin” problem.

4. Disable all plugin (except bbPress & BuddyPress)

But the same thing happen. FYI I don’t edit either the bbPress or BuddyPress files.

5. Using different theme.

I replace my modified custom community theme with BuddyPress Default theme and see if I putting bad codes in my theme. But this doesn’t solve problem even I tried other themes.

6. Change permalink structure.

It doesn’t make any changes, and I don’t think it will help.

7. Reinstall WordPress, bbPress & BuddyPress

Still doesn’t make any changes.

8. Create a new install in another domain.

I use http://scirefs.com/ as my main and http://www.scirefs.org as a sandbox (with the same configuration as in SCIREFs.com) with only bbPress and BuddyPress activated. But everything works fine in SCIREFs.org with either bbPress 2.02 or 2.1 and I have no issue with Firefox 12.

9. The Cloudflare……

Since I have Cloudflare as my CDN for SCIREfs.com but not SCIREFs.org, I tried to remove SCIREFs.com from Cloudflare and add SCIREfs.org to it and see what happens. The result: The issue with Firefox at SCIREFs.com disappear but SCIREfs.org is now facing the old issue.

Do anyone here have any ideas what’s wrong with it? Or someone here is facing the same problem? This seems to be the first and the only problem I can’t figure it myself.

You can login to SCIREFs.org using the following information:

Username: demo

Password: demo

URL of the forums: http://www.scirefs.org/test-forums

And try to start a topic or post a reply using Firefox and see if it’s happening to you.

If you know your way around Javascript / jQuery: You could do a workaround with that to tick that box automatically upon page load and hide it immediately… It’s a dirty fix though

Hello! I’d love to see some examples of sites that utilize WordPress for its blog and bbPress for its forum/messageboard. I’m poking around this forum now for examples but would love to see any that you may know of. Thank you

[Stephen Edgar]

The page /forums is a generic page part of bbPress.

You can create your own page/s and use the bbPress Shortcodes

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

Go to Appearance > Pages and give it a title (Discussion, The Teams, Leagues etc)

Then in the content of that page use the bbPress shortcodes with how and what you want on that page.

This for example would show what you currently have on /forums plus add the ‘new topic form’ below that list.

[bbp-forum-index]

[bbp-topic-form]

You could also create a page called ‘New Topic’ and just have [bbp-topic-form] on that page and then using the same method from Jarad above add those pages as menu items.

Thanks mattsimo and jaredatch. Worked the charm.

Here are all of the $args and the defaults, FYI (pulled from bbPress core file: bbp-common-template.php)

// HTML

'before'          => '<div class="bbp-breadcrumb"><p>',

'after'           => '</p></div>',

'sep'             => is_rtl() ? __( '&lsaquo;', 'bbpress' ) : __( '&rsaquo;', 'bbpress' ),

'pad_sep'         => 1,



// Home

'include_home'    => $pre_include_home,

'home_text'       => $pre_front_text,



// Forum root

'include_root'    => $pre_include_root,

'root_text'       => $pre_root_text,



// Current

'include_current' => $pre_include_current,

'current_text'    => $pre_current_text

[damjtoh]

I edit the template.php bbp-forum, although I do not sound right to modify the core.

I changed bbp_list_forums function () original:

function bbp_list_forums( $args = '' ) {

[...]

// Build this sub forums link

$output .= $link_before . '' . $title . $counts . '' . $show_sep . $link_after;

}

// Output the list

echo $before . $output . $after;

}

}

by:

function bbp_list_forums( $args = '' ) {

[...]

// Build this sub forums link

//$output .= $link_before . '' . $title . $counts . '' . $show_sep . $link_after;

$output[] = array(

'permalink'=>$permalink,

'title'=>$title,

'count'=>$count

);

}

// Output the list

return $output;

}

}

and I returned:

Array

(

[0] => Array

(

[permalink] => http://localhost/wpv1/foros/seccion/dota2/torneos-y-competencias

[title] => Torneos y competencias

[count] => Array

(

[topic] => 1

[reply] => 5

)

)

[1] => Array

(

[permalink] => http://localhost/wpv1/foros/seccion/dota2/dota-chat

[title] => Dota chat

[count] => Array

(

[topic] => 0

[reply] => 0

)

)

)

The only drawback is that I can not get the last comment of each forum.
