test this out cause im not entirely sure , but install jetpack if you havent already on your site and download the WordPress app from Google Play and connect your self hosted WordPress site to the app.

can you see any settings for bbPress in the app dashboard?? like settings>forums??

just so you know this only allows you to manage your site from the dashboard in the app, nothing frontend. If you want a custom app i highly recommend Apppressor.

if you feel like you need to hire a developer go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or any other freelance website for custom development.

[Robin W]

great – glad it’s working.

I did have an alternate faster solution which worked fine on my large test site UNLESS you hit the breadcrumb search after doing a search, when it ran out of memory! Go back to search via any other route and it was fine ! I’m still seeing if I can crack the issue with that (lots of resets) so I might come up with a faster solution.

Let us know how you get on.

If I don’t find a better solution in a few days, I’ll take that one live so that you get further updates via the usual route.

[jsantana]

Thank you so much and sorry.

Seems like the auto close (I tested it for -1 days) worked. Now I’m testing that it close the topic only in the ‘Announcements’ sub-forum and not everywhere else. I’ll let you know tomorow since it takes a day :l

@geeorgegeorge

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

then come back

Please help, I am trying to get the latest post date.

[nexus24g]

I’m looking for a very basic scrolling Latest topics like there is on forumotion forums, does anyone have any good plugins they would recommend to use with bbPress?

[Robin W]

Hope you haven’t forgotten anything else !

ok edit

$last_active = strtotime( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true ) );
			if ($last_active < strtotime( '-10 days') )
				bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );

to

$topic_date = strtotime( get_post( $topic_id, 'post_date', true ) );
$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id);
if ($topic_date < strtotime( '-10 days') && $forum_id == 210 )
bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );

the $forum_id == 210 needs the forum id of the forum you want to restrict.

to find this, go into

Dashboard>forums>all Forums and hover of edit of the forum you want – eg hover over edit ‘announcements’ and look in the bottom right of the screen. you’ll see the edit url that will include post=210 or whatever number.

You’ll need to test that all the above works, and come back if you need further help

Ah — thank you so much, I should have thought of that first thing. I did as you recommend, and the bug appears to be caused by the bbP Private Groups plug-in. When I de-activate it, I get the full results count (174 on my test) with pagination, as desired. I’ve got an inquiry in with that plug-in developer and hopefully I’ll get a fix, as the site members depend on the private groups function. Thank you again!

[supremor]

In the Latest and Popular topics:

http://www.carfanaticsforum.com/view/latest-topics/

Is there a way to make the topics that have not been read bold, and the ones that have been read unbold? That way our users know which one they have clicked on and which ones they haven’t?

[jsantana]

Hi there, thanks for the code, I haven’t tested it but the installation went smoothly and now I have it active in the plugins section.

But this isn’t what I’m looking for specifically. What I would like is to have it close after X amount of days even if it has been updated. This code just do it but after it hasn’t been any replies, right?

Thanks for taking time in answering, really appreciate it.

[Robin W]

hmmm….hadn’t fully reads your original post

ideally I’d like to get search results with pagination

That’s what you should have ! Results should show the ‘replies per page’ setting together with full pagination.

Are you sure there are more than 20 results to show?

I suspect that something else is disturbing this

If you haven’t amended bbpress code or added filters then :

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.

no problem

copy this code into a new notepad/notepad++ page

?>

Change the -10 days right near the bottom to whatever number you want

Save this file as ‘close_old_topics.php’

Compress/zip this file, so you have a zipped version.

then in worpress go to

Dashboard>plugins>add new and click ‘upload’ and then upload the zipped file you saved above, and then activate.

Come back if you have any issues, the code is not mine and I have not tested it, but others have used.

Hi. I have the very latest bbpress but do not see an option in forum settings for fancy editor.
I have WP-EDIT as apparently this replaced tinymce.

Can anyone comment? I see the same editor here. Just thinking of my potential non-techy members.
Thanks!

[Robin W]

Try adding this to your functions file

function change_search() {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 50
return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args', 'change_search' );

where 50 is the number you want displayed

I haven’t tested, if it doesn’t work come back and I’ll fix it

@ttmt

I have created a version that should work with php5.4 and above, but need you to test as I don’t have that version !

Can you go to my site and download the beta version

http://www.rewweb.co.uk/private-groups-2-5-3/

Can you let me know if the errors disappear and do a quick check across all the settings tabs so see that there are none in other tabs

Thanks

Hi, I set up bbpress for a charity. Everything is working OK apart from the email notifications. My question: Is there anyway to send out emails which do not contain lots of unwanted characters? When a forum admin creates a post (especially using attachments and paragraph breaks) the email that gets sent looks something like this:

<p style=”margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2;”><span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: Helvetica,serif;”><span style=”font-size: small;”><span lang=”de-DE”>New Bhakti Marga Logo Announcement</span></span></span></span></p>

Bhakti Marga has always stood for the uniting Love of God, transcending all religions and bringing people together from all corners of the globe. Now more than ever is a time of change both inside and outside and it is our mission and goal to be at the forefront of that change, ushering in a new age of love and spiritual growth that is so very needed in this world. With all that in mind, Sri Swami Vishwananda has decided that the logo of Bhakti Marga needs to change to reflect that renewed conviction of change and spiritual awakening.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2;”><span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: Helvetica,serif;”><span style=”font-size: small;”><span lang=”de-DE”>Symbolism of the new logo</span></span></span></span></p>

It signifies a return to the light from darkness, a journey from our minds to our hearts.<span lang=”de-DE”> Perhaps the most famous use of the white horse comes form the Hindu shastras which claim that Kalki, the tenth avatar of Maha Vishnu, will come riding on a white horse, bringing with him a new dawn and the end of the Kali Yuga. It is exactly that transformation and progression that Sri Swami Vishwananda wishes upon this world and Bhakti Marga is aligning itself to that wish through this new logo. The old logo served to unite us. We believe the new one serves to propel us forwards towards God</span><span style=”font-family: Arial Unicode MS,serif;”><span lang=”de-DE”>’</span></span><span lang=”de-DE”>s Love as one big family.</span></span></span></span></p>

We have now also added the Maha Mantra of Bhakti Marga and the Sri Sampradaya, Om Namo Narayana, to the inner sector of the logo. The Name of God is the greatest and most powerful gift given to us for our spiritual salvation in this age. If we are indeed to usher in a new age then we wish to show the way in which this will be accomplished; through the continuous, loving chanting of the Divine Names.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2;”> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: Helvetica,serif;”><span style=”font-size: small;”><span lang=”de-DE”>On the outer petals of the logo you can now find a variety of logos and symbols, each representing a different facet of Bhakti Marga. For example, you will find the logos for Atma Kriya Yoga, OM Healing, Simply Meditation and the Mantra Project as they are the principle techniques and practices that have been given by Swamiji over this first decade of Bhakti Marga. You will also find symbols of meditation and prayer to symbolise our way of life, the spiritual path we have chosen to take under the guidance of our Satguru. The symbols of the world</span><span style=”font-family: Arial Unicode MS,serif;”><span lang=”de-DE”>’</span></span><span lang=”de-DE”>s religions previously used in the centre of the old logo are also now found on the outer petals. Bhakti Marga will always stand for the unity of religions and the new logo will continue to uphold that stance. The remaining five petals at the top of the logo consist of the Bhakti Marga t</span>ilak,<span lang=”de-DE”> Lord Narayana</span><span style=”font-family: Arial Unicode MS,serif;”><span lang=”de-DE”>’</span></span><span lang=”de-DE”>s S</span>h<span lang=”de-DE”>ankha and C</span>hakra<span lang=”de-DE”> and his eternal bhaktas and servants, G</span>aruda<span lang=”de-DE”> and H</span>anuman<span lang=”de-DE”>. These serve as the symbols of our Guru Parampara (lineage), the most important element of Bhakti Marga by far. Only through worship to the Guru are we to ever succeed in our goals. These symbols will serve as a reminder of that for generations to come. </span></span></span></span></p>
<p style=”margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2;”> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: Helvetica,serif;”><span style=”font-size: small;”><span lang=”de-DE”>Last but not least, the white horse is seen emerging from a lotus.

I seem to be having a lot of white space issues lately…

For some reason there is about 100px of extra space above an IMG in my topics. Here’s an example:

http://bellynsoul.com/forums/topic/another-test-topic/

However, if this same topic comes up in a search, there is no white space:

http://bellynsoul.com/forums/search/?bbp_search=test&bbp_search_forum_id=7638

This seems like a ridiculously simple CSS tweak, but I can’t seem to find the right class/id!

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Playing around with a test WP install with bunch of plugins I intend to use in production.

So I installed WP at /blog and installed handful of plugins, notably bbpress and buddypress, yoast seo

This is the problem:
http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/

It doesn’t show all the forum categories. It’s showing up like a blog post/page instead.

This is one of the parent forums:
http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/forum/the-buzz/

Why is it showing /forums/forum? I only want it to be for example /forums

Now, if I try to go to http://www.mydomain.com/blog/forums/forum/ to see the whole list of forums like it should be, it redirects me to “forum banners”?

MY SETTINGS:

permalinks: post name

Yoast SEO: %%title%% %%page%%

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

[Matheus Horst]

Hello! I tested the plugin you went and did not work. The registration confirmation e-mail has not arrived. Also tested the plugin Register Plus Redux and occurred the same mistake. There came the email with the password confirmation. I do not know what to do, can you help me please? I need your help.

The email was used hotmail.com. I believe that at gmail also is not working. The link in my forum is: http://lbfgamesonline.com.br/novo-usuario/

Help me solve this problem please?
Much obliged.

[Robkk]

i just tested twentyfifteen and the quick tag bar shows up fine as long as you have post formatting in enabled in settings>forums.

i also tested the tinymce tab plugin and it seems to work well together.

does clicking any of the tabs not show the toolbar , sometimes in the past it would show nothing until you click the tabs.

and also make sure to double check just in case you cant see them.

the buttons and button font color could be white based on the image you posted.

i found this, i havent tested it though with the latest version of bbPress and WordPress though.
