Alright…It appears that setting the type of topics, as in; Normal, Sticky or Super Sticky, changes the behavior of the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=].

I made all test topics’ type in both forums, to Normal and the problem disappeared. Same behavior with Sticky.

To wrap-up, a type Super-Sticky, will get these forums show up, no matter that you specify an exact one with the [bbp-single-forum id=] shortcode.

How do I add the number of posts under the name and the symbolic images of the user?

Post count is coming to a future release of bbPress. You can use a plugin like this to add the counts for now.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/

What exactly do you mean by symbolic images??

How do I change the title to any user of an optional title?
Ex: the title of the current user in the Forum (supervisor) want to have the title of supervisor (supervisor pictures)

You can rename the current forum roles to whatever you want with this php code snippet in this guide. Add the function to your child themes functions.php or in a plugin that can hold custom code snippets like functionality.

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

You can also create custom user roles with custom capabilities and add the custom names there.

Hi,

I have two admin users on my WordPress install.

I have the latest bbpress (2.5.8) installed and the latest wordpress (4.3.1).

Users can post new topics without issue.

However, when I go to reply, I get the message that “You do not have permission to reply” even though both admin users have the Keymaster role.

I have reset the bbpress system twice now (tools-forums-reset forums) and still no joy.

I believe that this plugin may just be trying to kill me. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Problem occurs using Twenty Twelve as a theme as well.

Any and all help is appreciated.

My forum is at: https://www.bsop.ca/forums/forum/lightroom/

hi, I am using the latest version of bbpress plugin. I want to know is there any way to stop the email that sends to user to reset password when the user register. I don’t want users to set there passwords themselve and want to send the password generated by admin to every approved users only.
Please help me…
Thankyou

Thanks @Robkk for the respond. but i have question about

Put this loop-forums.php file in your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

i only have child theme for the theme but bbprss is a plugin. are you saying i have to create a child theme for the plugin bbpress of how do i do that please?

There is a plugin called bbp style pack that can give you a shortcode to display the latest number of topics on your site. bbPress has this shortcode for the forum archive, [bbp-forum-index]

You said there is a plugin to display latest post, how do i get the plugin?

Thank you so much.

Please find enclosed a link for the test Website:

Well I am not seeing an issue with my forums disappearing with WP Monalisa activated.

Where do I activate TinyMCE and find the default toolbar editor in WordPress? Or are you talking about BBPress Dashboard?

Well your not using TinyMCE so you would see the error I come across. Like said there is an issue, so you may not need to activate it. There is a plugin on wordpress repository and a code snippet in the codex to allow TinyMCE.

As previously mentioned it didn’t work with a freshly installed bbPress Website. I had nothing else installed except the bbPress Forum. The enclosed totius.tk however is now a plugin.

Yes, wordpress plugins do not work for the old standalone version, but with the plugin version. I cannot test to see if an install of bbPress v1 would cause an issue, as I cannot run this on wamp. Kind of do not know how to install bbPress v1 anyway.

Sorry, I forgot to post the WordPress Dashboard that comes up for Settings/Writing:

A new version of WordPress probably removed the smilies setting like the wp monalisa plugin says, there was a version with that setting before.

[Robkk]

@seyibest Put this loop-forums.php file in your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

https://github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout

so, how do i make it to be in a place like just only Login/Register on just a menu bar like

They added custom menu item links in the menu section. You can create links leading to the WordPress login/register forms. There is also this php code snippet here to add links, you might need to add a conditional to it for a specific menu.

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'rkk_add_auth_links', 10 , 2 );
function rkk_add_auth_links( $items, $args ) {
    if (is_user_logged_in() {
        $items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
    }
    elseif (!is_user_logged_in() {
        $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
        $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=register') .'">Register</a></li>';
        $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php?action=lostpassword') .'">Lost Password</a></li>';
    }
    return $items;
}

and moreso, i made the homepage to be the forum. how can i code it in such a way that 2-3 of my post will appear on the homepage follow by the forum beneath it?

There is a plugin called bbp style pack that can give you a shortcode to display the latest number of topics on your site. bbPress has this shortcode for the forum archive, [bbp-forum-index]

@tallsam

Users should have a password when they register??

Post a link to your site and I will test out registering with it. My username will be called “deleteme” if you decide later to remove the user I registered with.

Hi,

i am really desperate, for some A… floated our music schools website forum with 34.000 entries, running on bbpress alongside with buddypress. It is not only crap and makes it almost impossible for real users to find one of the few real-human-posts, it is spooky that someone take over the forum. I was trying to delete all those posts, but this leads to a server 500 error.

I have de- an reactivated bbpress, un- and reinstalled it, but the messages are still there. Is there any way to get rid of this annoying stuff? I would love to keep forum and group functionality, but with this entries in the forum, it is almost useless. Can be found at http://www.musikzentrale.net/musikerservice/forum/musikersuche/band-sucht-musiker/

What i have done so far:
– delete user (which would be a pretty elegant solution): did not make sense in my case, since the posters are no users of musikzentrale.net.
– mass deleting themes (tried 10, 50, 100, 500 posts at a time) from the back up ended up in error message stating, that the URL was too long.
– trying to delete the respective forum leads to a 500 server error or in some cases to “URL too long” (I am running this site on a managed server with all software up to date)
– finally i tried to access the respecting tables via phpmyadmin, but apparently it has got that big, that even after several minutes the table was not loaded, so i interrupted this attempt.

At least i could prevent further entries in the two respective foren by using a math captcha and let only registered users to open new themes or respond to older ones, but obviously the DB is that huge, that it is killing the site`s formerly pretty fast loading time.

Some infos about technical environment:
– WP, bbpress and all Plugins running on there latest Version
– all other features and plugins behave as they are supposed to
– site is protected with AIOWPS and Siteguarding plugin
– WP theme is enfold without any issues so far (using the combination since April 2013)
– all running on a managed server with 512 mb of RAM for WP
– bbpress version 2.5.8, buddypress 2.4.0

Thanks for your kind assistance.

Best regards, Sebastian.

Thanks for the prompt reply robkk.

Please find enclosed a link for the test Website:
http://totius.tk/

When I activate Mona Lisa, the BBPress Forum disappears. You only see the link in the navigation bar, but it isn’t linked any more. When you click on it it is dead. Then when I deactivate the Mona Lisa plugin, the Forum is back again.

I first started with a stand alone BBPress Forum, i.e. one directly loaded from the BBPress Website, as I wanted to experiment to see how good it is. There are the three plugins that come loaded with the site. But when I try to load any of the other plugins they won’t install. I.e. I would upload them to the plugins folder through cPanel, they do show, but when I click on them, there is an error message that comes up.

Then next I tried BBPress with WordPress – i.e. I started from scratch with a WordPress site and loaded it as a plugin as per the totius.tk example. I was able to download and install the Monalisa plugin, but when I activate it, the BBPress forum disappears. The blog part however is active. Only the forum is disabled.

So yes, there has to be a conflict between BBPress and the Mona Lisa plugin.

By the way, this is what my WordPress (up to date version) dashboard Settings/Writing looks like. You mention

while having TinyMCE activated, and the default toolbar editor tab is the HTML one

Where do I activate TinyMCE and find the default toolbar editor in WordPress? Or are you talking about BBPress Dashboard?

It does work with bbPress and how its default quicktags editor though.

As previously mentioned it didn’t work with a freshly installed bbPress Website. I had nothing else installed except the bbPress Forum. The enclosed totius.tk however is now a plugin.

Is there anything I could have done when it was a bbpress stand alone for the plugin to have been able to be installed?

[danceee3]

hello there!

trying to setup a bbpress forum!

i managed to create an homepage with the latest topics.

I want to add the <span class=”bbp-topic-started-in”> (found this using chrome inspect) near the “started by” like it’s made here in the support forum!

i think it’s rpetty crucial to show what forum the topic belong to, i have to idea where to start, any advice or pointer would be great

thanks a lot!

[Momshof]

Update – I found this code searching through the forums and tried it – it fixed the quotes – they are no longer showing raw code.

The font, size, color, align – still comes up as raw code.

function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
$plugins[] = ‘paste’;
return $plugins;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins’, ‘bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text’ );

last post on – http://dtcdancecentral.com/DTCTest/forums/topic/creating-a-topic-1-test-2/#post-12237

[Momshof]

Hello – As a normal user (not admin) the posts are showing the html (I think that is what it is called). For example – it looks like this when posted:

<p style=”text-align: center;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>
<p style=”text-align: right;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>
<p style=”text-align: right;”>Creating a test topic 1.</p>
<span style=”font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;”>Creating a test topic 1.</span>

<span style=”font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;”>Creating a test topic 1.</span>

<span style=”font-size: 18pt;”>Creating a test topic 1.</span>

<span style=”font-size: 18pt;”>Creating a test topic 1.</span>

I am using GD bbPress Toolbox to have more options on my visual editor.

Also – is there any way to completely REMOVE the “text” tab option (only have visual editor available)?

Thanks for your assistance.

[Pascal Casier]

Well, you seem to have managed to remove 60K already in the mean time.

I edited my post, not sure it you saw that, but WordPress proposes PHP 5.6 and not 5.5 as you have. Of course all works, but I remember well, the latest bbPress test runs show increased performance on the higher PHP platform.

Pascal.

This looks great, I just tried it on my forum and it works on categories but not on forums.
I’m running latest WP, BBPress, BuddyPress versions with the Brickyard theme and the code is installed in my theme’s functions.php file..

Cheers

Also, whenever a user edits a new topic, this is posted as a new topic in the activity feed of BuddyPress, again this is not an ideal behaviour. I’m using the latest version of all plugins.

[TKServer]

I’ve been working quite a lot on this threaded view format. This is coded all outside of bbpress, but uses many of bbpress’s functions.

@neoid

Well here is the trac ticket for Drupal Advanced Forum.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2756

Any help toward creating it/leading us to the right software to test out is greatly appreciated.

[Robkk]

This bug is definitely in the latest 2.5.8 release while testing the default themes 2013-15, but is nonexistent in the 2.6 dev version.

So I assume it is fixed already, thing is its in 2.6.

[Robkk]

@bahamamom66

Why didn’t you post a link in your other topic, and why did you create another new topic for the same issue??

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-content-not-showing-up-on-forum-page/

Also I tested your theme out and have not come across the same issue you are having. I didn’t need to create a “forum page”, it just worked fine out of the box.

[Robkk]

That crashed my sight for some reason. Any thoughts?

@tallsam

Did you place the code snippet I placed earlier correctly?? It seems to work fine on my test site.

Same thing goes for @pinkishhue‘s code.

These both work if you want to show only 1 revision log on the Frontend of your forums.

But first, is there going to be an update to bbpress that will remove the extra revision statements? If so, any thoughts on when this will be ready?

Not really remove the statements, but just make 1 visible. Have no idea when @netweb’s code will make it into core.

@tallsam

Do you want them all gone?? This topic is all about just having one visible on the frontend.

Also there might be a bug about the revisions somewhere I think. Haven’t fully checked that one out though.

But you can always disable the revision logging from being displayed in the forums in Settings > Forums, there will still be revisions on the edits in the backend though, since it is a post type in WordPress. And hide the existing revisions with CSS using the first half of pinkishhue’s code.

There is a way to limit the total number of revisions kept per post though in WordPress.

But if you do want to completely remove the revisions you can use a plugin that @casiepa listed, but this may remove ALL revisions of any post or plugin using the revision system in WordPress. Some custom css plugins may use it, and clearing the revisions may lose all your saved styles.

[deanhills]

Roll on 7 years and there are still no dedicated emoticons/smilies for BBPress. I’ve been testing the forum for use, but what forum on earth is worth its while if it doesn’t have smilies?

I tried the recommended wp-monalisa and ironically that completely disables BBPress when it is activated.

NOT impressed!

[kiss_the_sky]

Ok, thank you so much. When it is looks like this, i really would appreciate your help!

Doing this test in the next 2 days…

Did THIS SITE using this, too… ?

[IDN101]

I have been struggling with this for a few days now and I’m tearing my hair out!

It’s absolutely crucial that my forum only displays Usernames and NOT real names.

This thread seems to be the most promising info I could find…

User profile link, only show username.

I tried Robin’s Plugin…

bbpress username plugin

And I got REALLY excited as it seemed to do the trick. HOWEVER, I found one deal-breaker: When you look at the Forum Index- the plugin seems to put the Avatar of the latest Fresh post but show the Username of the Oldest post in that forum. Freshness time is displayed correctly.

If I Deactivate the plugin, All data is correct again, but obviously I am then getting real names displayed again.

I have emailed Robin to see if he is still supporting the plugin and can rectify.

Is there anybody here who would very kindly be able to walk me through step-by-step how to make this work. I don’t mind editing PHP files- I have no experience in PHP, but I can open them with Notepad and copy/paste text if someone can steer me.

I am so desperately frustrated with this issue. It’s to the detriment of my forum as members are reluctant to post unless its just their Username that is shown.

Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ian
