I would like to prepare some blog posts ahead of the time when they should be seen. How can I do that?

Today, I tried to create one thread with the status “pending” but it didn’t display the content, while still keeping the subject. When I rewrote the post, it is now showing for me (admin) but non-admin get a 404 error if they click on the subject. That topic is about a contest that will only start next Friday, so I don’t want to show it yet, but I can’t even hide the topic either so members are trying to see what it is all about.

Is there a way to hide a thread completely? If so, how?
I have WP 4.5 and bbpress 2.5.8

Thanks

I am using WordPress 4.5 and bbPress 2.5.8.
I have tested the following on both Chrome and FireFox, in both normal and incognito modes.
The issue persists when using the Twenty … themes.
The issue also persists when turning off all extra bbPress plugins.
The issue is also present in bbPress 2.6-alpha.

The rest of my site works normally.

@thebrandonallen You’re right. I made a mistake when doing these tests.

Here’s the results when I keep only the essential extensions, but without bbPress:

It might be your theme too is causing you issues with 4.5

The only way to find out is to switch to a default theme like Twenty Fifteen, deactivate all plugins except bbPress and start testing from there.
When you found what is blocking, open support requests for the theme/plugin. But I confirm that on bbPress side all seems working great with 4.5.

Sorry I can’t further help you, but if you find the issue, please post it back here.

Pascal.

[officerofthewatch]

Pascal, thanks for getting back to me. I’m currently using the Customizr theme updated to the latest version. I had a look at the forum on my iPhone and like you said it looks even worse!! In relation to your patch where should I enter this into?

[j_mo]

Hi there,

I am currently working on my first bbPress site and thoroughly enjoying it! I have one issue though…

On my home page I have a list of 8 latest posts on the site. They include news (standard WP posts), events (custom post type) and bbPress topics and are displayed with query_posts().

I am trying to display the reply count of topics but can’t using bbp_topic_reply_count(), it simply returns 0.

<?php if ( 'topic' == get_post_type()  ) : ?>
	<article class="bit-4 newsPost grid-sizer grid-item">
    	<div class="eventInner homePost">
        	<p class="postLabel">Discussion</p>
            	<h1 class="eventListTitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?> "><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
                	<p class="postedOn"><?php bbp_topic_reply_count(); ?> comments, starting on<?php the_date('d M Y'); ?></p>
                    	<p><?php echo get_excerpt(); ?></p>
        	</div>
    </article>
<?php endif; ?>

Am I missing something? Can someone help please?

Thanks

@sidebarissue

The bbPress sidebar that you see having the issue, is from your theme. bbPress does not have code in it for a bbPress specific sidebar.

You haven’t checked and made sure to see if it was in your theme by switching/testing a default theme.

I still haven’t tried switching to the twentytwelve theme because I don’t want to lose all of my settings for my current theme.

You can try your current theme and a WordPress default theme in a local installation on your cpu to see where the sidebar is coming from.

Hello all,

Now I have an opposite problem! I have a hidden group with only 2 members, me and another of my email addresses. I’ve been using this for testing.

Problem is that over 600 members have received updates that I posted in the group.

Shouldn’t this only go to group members??

How can I fix this?

THANKS

[sidebarissue]

Hey guys,

I’m having one issue that I can’t seem to figure out. I’ve looked everywhere but I can’t find anyone with the same issue. I’m using the Be Theme with bbPress, and my sidebar widgets (for the forum only) aren’t showing up. When I drag the widgets onto the Plugin | bbPress sidebar, I get an empty sidebar. When I put the widgets in the footer or on a different sidebar (like the blog or even the footer), they work fine. The people from Be Theme say bbpress is fully compatible with Be Theme so I’m a bit confused.

Additionally, I’ve tried deactivating all plugins besides bbpress and that didn’t help. I also ran the forum repairs and nothing happened. I still haven’t tried switching to the twentytwelve theme because I don’t want to lose all of my settings for my current theme.

Have any of you ever encountered this before? I figured I’d try here before trying on the Be Theme forums.

MY ACTIVATED PLUGINS (even though I said my plugins aren’t the cause of the issue)—————–

– Add Meta tags, All in one SEO pack, bbpress, bbpress report content, bbpress login register, contact form 7, duplicate post, force regenerate thumbnails, gd bbpress attachments, gd bbpress tools, google analytics, google xml sitemaps, jellyfish counter widget, jetpack, layerslider wp, mycred, newsletter, related posts thumbnails, slider revolution, user role editor, wordpress popular posts, wp smush, wp user avatar, wpbakery visual composer

bbpress v2.5.8 and the latest version of wordpress. Additionally, I’d rather not give my website name publicly, but I will give links to a mod if they need it.

Here is a screenshot of the site so you can see. There is a sidebar active (once I delete the widgets the sidebar goes away obviously).

Thanks in advance

Well not a bbPress specific plugin, but there are a few plugins that can work with custom post types (bbPress uses custom post types).

A plugin I found and tested is called NS Featured Posts, but like I said many other plugins could possibly work too.

After installing the plugin make sure to go to Settings > NS Featured Posts and make sure to add the topic custom post type from bbPress in the plugin’s settings.

Now we can go to Topics > All Topics and see a new column that says Featured. Make sure to click the checkbox near the topic you would want to feature.

Now we are going to make a custom view to display these featured topics in a topic list, and also be able to display them in pages with a shortcode.

Add this php code snippet into your child themes functions.php or insert this snippet into a custom plugin like functionality.

This function displays about 10 featured topics on a single page, change 10 to whatever you want.

function rkk_register_featured_view() {
 bbp_register_view( 'featured', __( 'Featured Topics' ),  array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes', 'posts_per_page' => '10', 'max_num_pages' => '1'), false );
}
add_action( 'bbp_register_views', 'rkk_register_featured_view' );

Now in a custom page or widget area that has a widget text area that can handle shortcodes, insert this shortcode.

[bbp-single-view id='featured']`

[Pascal Casier]

In MYSQL with phpmyadmin you would be able to do it. If you would need to add e.g. 4 hours, the idea would be :

WARNING: Backup your database before doing things
WARNING: This is just a starting point, not a real query to launch on your DB

UPDATE poststable SET postfield = DATE_ADD(postfield, INTERVAL 4 HOURS)
WHERE postfield < '2016-04-01 08:20:00';

So in the WHERE you need to put the datestamp when you have done the timezone switch.

Pascal.

I’m using WordPress Version 4.4.2 and
BuddyPress Version 2.5.2
Site: http://www.greenvillespinners.com

I’m not receiving emails for new topics. I have tried everything. Disabled plugins, checked and am not using noreply@… I’ve checked and changed the settings one by one. Still can’t get anything.

Set up another account with another email to test with. Sometimes, only sometimes I will get an email from the other account if they start a new topic. But if I (as admin) start a new topic, the other account doesn’t get an email and neither do I.

Notifications of emails to and from that account work fine.

Please help!!! Thank you.

[Valery Kondakoff]

Hello!

I’m using bbPress 2.5.8 with theme Twenty Sixteen (WP 4.4.2). Accidentally I noticed, that when viewing topic on a devices with small screen (less than 414×736) all of the author avatars are sliding to the upper left. Here is a screenshot:

I tried to install bbPress on a fresh WP install and the avatar does not seems to slide, when viewing in small screens. So, I deactivated all the plugins, removed all known theme modifications, css styles, but avatar is still misplaced.

Here is a link to the test topic: http://rugby-forum.ru/wp2/forums/topic/test/ Can you please, take a look and guess what may be wrong here and how to fix this?

Thank you in advance!

[Marc]

I have a somewhat similar problem. I have an English site, but want to run a Dutch forum on it. Hence, changing the site’s general settings is no option for me.
I’ve uploaded Dutch bbpress-nl_NL.mo and bbpress-nl_NL.po files into the folder wp-content/languages/plugins (and there I removed the original en_GB files). I also tried making a wp-content/languages/bbpress folder with the language files, but failed to resolve the problem (which basically is that when Dutch forum participants type in text all of their words get marked with red underlining as if they are not knowing how to write).
I would very much appreciate some help here.
The site is called HenHub, and one of the (test) fora is called Facilitators.
Many thanks in advance!

Also, if the old xenForo site is still live and people are posting to it, can I re-run the import tool to have it grab the latest posts or would I want to start over? I know that I’ll probably want to start over since you’ve added new import functionality, but in the future, would it work to just run the import tool from time to time until I’m ready to shut down the old site?

No

I’d like to add this functionality down the road, we’ve got it partially, partially in that currently if it finished importing forums and only half way through topics then it would resume from the topics it didn’t finish then continue on to to replies.

It literally resumes from where it left off, it never goes back to check if there are new forums, or new topics but in the future that would be a great addition.

[Stephen Edgar]

Yeah, I’m actually thinking it might be best to require the user (me) to manually move the images directory from the old site to the new site. Then, maybe just use the xenForo URL to the image to display it in the post. It “should” be safe since xenForo reduced the images based on admin settings when they were originally uploaded. Just some random thoughts from a guy not looking at import code. 😉

I can add a “generic” that would change [ATTACH=full]872[/ATTACH] to generic URLhttps:/example.com/attachment/872, you could then manually change thehttps:/example.com/attachment/part of that to anything you want for examplehttp://surveyorconnect.com/attachments/` and have that folder on your server serve up the attachments from there?

I’m wondering if https://bbpress.dev4press.com would actually cure some of the bbcode issues automatically.

We actually use a pretty comprehensive BBCode library already during import it converts a huge amount of common BBCode code to native HTML for us, I think you’d find there are only a handful of custom BBCode’s not covered by this library and is why I add them manually.

p.s. I haven’t packaged up a new release with the changes just yet, but you can always get the latest version (with the above updates) from:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/XenForo.php

At the bottom of that page is a link to download the file in “original format” and that will get you the file, the link is dynamic and changes each revision so that’s why no direct link.

Hello!

We ar running the latest versions of WordPress and bbPress. From the beginning, since bbPress was installed, it’s working incorrectly. When I go to specific forum page, the topics list is not showing. And Opening a topic directly, the topic content is not displayed.
The problem is in our custom created theme, because, when I switch to one of the default WordPress themes, everything is working fine.
I can’t figure out what is wrong with our theme, or how to make it bbPress redy.

The specific forum: http://mglatvia.id.lv/forums/forum/foruma-noteikumi/
The single topic: http://mglatvia.id.lv/forums/topic/demo-testa-topiks/

[Valery Kondakoff]

Pascal, thank you for helping me!

By misaligned I was meant that the avatars are not on the same line as the user name. Your code solves this issue:

img.avatar.avatar-14.photo {
 margin-bottom: 0px !important;
display:inline;
}

There is a side-effect though: the avatar gets underlined if you use ‘display:inline;’. If there is a way to remove the underline? ‘text-decoration: none’ does not seems to work.

Here is a link to the test forum with your code applied: http://rugby-forum.ru/wp3/forums/forum/test-forum/

Thank you!

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

bbpress and buddypress work fine together.

Hi,

I have wordpress 4.4.4 with bbpress 2.5.8 installed with Buddypress 2.5.2 Everything works fine except on my profile page.

If I go to a user profile and go to the tab forums and subtab topics started, it just shows every single topic that has been made and not just the topic that has been started by that user.
Same goes with ‘replies created’, I get to see every single reply beside the user’s replies.
As with favorites and subscribed, All topics besides the favorites will also all still display.
I basically needs all those tabs to display that user’s created topics and replies exactly like here on bbpress.org.

Is there a some settings I need to set? Could buddypress settings have been causing it? Is there some test I can run to see what is it?

Hello,
Actually after further testing, my code above for some reason hid the Forums, Topics, and Replies menu from people who had access to view them. Here is an updated piece of code that does not have this problem.
