the url is fine. it shows just the id of the reply. no problem with that. but i was just wonding why there isn’t a topic title on this page. just found the reply urls by visiting the sitemap.xml: http://www.dashcamtest.de/reply-sitemap.xml

[Robin W]

ok, but replies don’t have a title in their own right, so the long version of the url which a user would get if they clicked on the reply is

http://www.dashcamtest.de/support/thema/im-test-a-rival-carcam-guenstige-mini-dashcam-mit-akku/#post-911

Sorry if I am being stupid, but you would only get to your link if you have dashboard access.

In either event, what would you wish the url to look like?

[nicmare]

is it possible that you are assuming the link in my first post shows a thread? that isnt the case! it is a link to a single reply!!! the full thread / post is here: http://www.dashcamtest.de/support/thema/im-test-a-rival-carcam-guenstige-mini-dashcam-mit-akku/ and the link above shows ONE reply out of it.

[nicmare]

mhh. as i already said i still talking about <title>! the one in the browser bar 😀
current sourcecode is: <title>| dashcamtest.de</title>
as you can see the topic title is missing!

I am building an extension plugin for MailPoet to allow users to subscribe to a newsletter when they register on the forum.

I have my admin settings field shown in bbPress but I when it comes to saving the options I do not get the value I either entered or selected. All values save with a zero.

This is the admin settings: https://github.com/seb86/MailPoet-bbPress-Add-on/blob/dev/includes/admin/mailpoet-bbpress-addon-admin-functions.php

Can I have some assistants to get my custom settings fully operational.

I have my plugin available on GitHub as it is right now to show what I have done and for you to download and test your self.

I hope someone can help me correct this please.

Any help is most appreciated.

Thank you.

Just to add to this thread as I’ve been experiencing the same sort of issues with edited replies appearing at the bottom of the thread and some other anomalies regarding posts being given strange “Reply to” post numbers (too inconsistent to reproduce).

All resolved for me by turning off the “Reply Threading” setting in Forums Settings. This also reactivated the paginating which hadn’t been working with this setting active.

Not running anything unusual although someone mentioned php version which I know not to be the latest on our server. Details below:

PHP Version: 5.2.5
Wordpress Version: 3.8.1
Active Theme: Twenty Fourteen 1.0

bbPress 2.5.3 (active)
BuddyPress 1.9.2 (active)
Disqus Comment System 2.74 (active)
Fourteen Colors 1.0.1 (active)
Jetpack by WordPress.com 2.8 (active)
Unconfirmed 1.2.3 (active)
WP Approve User 2.3 (active)

I too am trying to import an existing bbPress into another WordPress site, and as a note I must say that the reason I have to do this is because the bbPress importer does not play well with my server (or I SHOULD say my server does not play well!) and I get a similar result you speak of, @specialtactic, where the majority of the posts are attributed to the admin. This has been verified as not being a bbPress importer issue, but a server issue, as I was able to use the importer successfully on my local test server.

Now that I know I can import onto my local, I need to be able to import that local bbPress (converted from the phpBB3) into my live WordPress site, but alas I haven’t had the time to try and wrap my brain around how to accomplish it and so have been waiting for an importer to be written.

Just wanted to clarify for you that it’s possible that the PippinsPlugins is not at fault, if you were attempting to use it in similar circumstances to my own.

Hi RavanH

Have you had any conclusion to this issue?

Not sure there is much testing on multisite installations 😉 Keep coming back to see if bbPress is really suited to Multisite and each time there appears to be lack of clarity.

As I understand it:

1) Super admin can install bbPress plugin
2) Sub site admin should now be able to activate (or at least SuperAdmin on subsite level)
3) Sub site admin should be able to see managing Forums admin options on wp panel, not just Settings-Forum options (eg repair/reset)

However, neither Super Admin nor Site Admin can see the Forum management options. Even if they are both showing as Keymaster for the subsite.

Mad to network activate the plugin, but then you do see the management admin options as Site and Super admin.

So all you can do to use the plugin is Network activate and as far as I can see that is not the intended behaviour.

Should this be reported as a bug?

Hi. I can’t find an answer on this after searching the forum. Using WP 3.8.1. I am doing some testing, creating several Forums. I’d like each forum to have a different admin email that notifies when a topic has been added to the forum, and when a topic has been edited on the forum. This way I can have several groups owning their own forum for purposes of notification and responding. The main admin login to WP can of course go into the posts and do anything, but I need groups to be aware of when their forum is being accessed. This is different to subscribing by a user on a topic after it is created. Thanks for any help on this. Laurie

[Robin W]

couldn’t where ‘dashcamtest.de’ was in your example.

The code is in loop-single-reply, which should show the title using line 22

[Lynqoid]

This is what you will need to use to actually add a class to the body class. You could look at getting the post by the get_queried_object(); function in WordPress and then getting the title of that object. After that you could then use the sanitize_title_with_dashes($forum_title); to get a safe class name.

Please note I haven’t fully tested the code below and i’m not sure the $forum_object->post_title; will work but it get’s you moving in the right direction 🙂

<?php
$forum_object = get_queried_object();
$forum_title = $forum_object->post_title;
$forum_class = sanitize_title_with_dashes($forum_title);
?>
<body <?php body_class($forum_class); ?>>

Good luck!

[Darth]

Is there a simple way to re-order topics like you can Forums? At the least, I’d like to have older at the top/newer at the bottom.

After doing a lot of searching/research I am completely confused as to how to accomplish this. Thank you in advance!

I am using the latest WP 3.81 and bbpress 2.5.3

[nicmare]

Everything works fine so far. But i noticed that every reply page’s title is incomplete. Please take a look at http://www.dashcamtest.de/support/antwort/911/ as you can see only the suffix “| dashcamtest.de” is in the title. But the real title of this reply is missing. i have no idea where to find the problem. i would expect the thread title has to be in the title. is that right? has someone an idea please? thanks!

[Robin W]

ok, something’s caused it, so we need to try and resolve down. Can you run the following :

If you just type on http://mysite.com/wp-login.php into your url, do you get the same problem ? [test if the issue is in executing the result, or issue before that]

Create a new page and put [bbp-login] in it, and then run that page (either by url eg http://mysite.com/my-new-page-name, or from a menu, I’d try both) [see if it’s in the widget]

What other plugins are you running?

[tanvit]

thank you for reply, i was tested as you suggested and found problem in theme it is working fine in other theme but not in x2 theme also contacted to theme support but they told me this is plugin issue please suggest other way like how we break the loop of forum or group page by hard code.

[Robin W]

Ok, not quite sure why that stopped working – it used to !

But have just tested this :

function display_counts () 
{
		
		$user_id=bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ;
		$topics  = bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw( $user_id);
		$replies = bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw( $user_id);
		$post_count   = (int) $topics + $replies;
		echo "<br>Total posts : " ;
		echo $post_count ;
		echo "</br>" ;
		}
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'display_counts') ;

and that works.

As before you can then add some if statements to display a status or icon

[Robin W]

Presuming you are using latest versions, these should work fine together.

What other plugins have you got? Deactivate all other plugins except buddy and bb, and see if they are then ok.

If not, then try switching to a default theme such as twentyeleven to see if it is theme related.

If it is ok with just theme and bbpress and buddypress, add back plugins one at a time to see which is casuing the conflict

[Robin W]

Not seen this and should not work like that.

are those actual names of forums? If so, I’ll try it on my test site.

[gavpedz]

Thanks although i did just find the setting in settings to make it show latest topics instead of forum list, so thats good.

I got the widget in sidebar to show forum list so that’s good.

There are just a few things i want to do now and that is:
Show a bar at the top of forum page to display create topic subscribe and favorite similar to here.

Also show the number of topics in a forum on the forum list in sidebar.

[Robin W]

hmmm…my version works perfectly, one email per topic or reply.

bbPress uses WordPress to email, and the line in bbress notify is
`@wp_mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
`
Maybe that something within your wordpress/host setup is causing the issue (I suspect from yoru comments you already think this might be the case).

I’d suggest you do a test. in Dashboard>settings>discussion enable “email me whenever anyone posts a comment” and then post a comment to a blog (not bbPress). If you get more than one email, then it is not a bbPress problem, and try posting it to https://wordpress.org/support/ for help.

[rsafarnejad]

I set up WordPress on Microsoft Azure cloud and installed bbPress. Users can add topics and type in posts/replies and the correct number of posts/replies are displayed but the actual post/reply text does not display when users click on the topic title. Take a look: http://testgene2.azurewebsites.net/?topic=which-16s-rrna-primers-to-use

Any help or ideas are appreciated. I pretty much went with the defaults on installation and settings.

[Giovanna Buono]

Hi,
I just followed the instructions to set bbpress in Italian but no luck, the basic page I created is still showing the headers in English (e.g.: Topis, Posts, Freshness, weeks, and so on).
I copied the latest .mo and .po from the development section and renamed them bbpress-it-IT.mo and bbpress-it-IT.po. Copied them as per instruction in the proper location. Was there anything else I had to do? I appreciate your attention, thanks.
Giovanna

EDIT: found the mistake, sorry, as you can see from what I wrote I used a dash instead than an underscore 😀 Sorry for the waste of time!

[Mycelus]

Hey guys. So I’m used to the regular forum format like phpBB and IP Board where it looks like this: http://imgur.com/XlyR6cc

So, where it says Welcome to IPS, that’s the category name.

Under that, you have News and Information, and Pre-Sales, those are your FORUMS.

Then you have a space underneath the categories as can be seen in the picture.

This makes sense because your CATEGORIES are SEPARATED from each other, and the FORUMS, are listed underneath.

The way bbPress it, you can click a category. This makes ZERO sense, there is NO reason to click on the category.

Also, as can also be seen in the picture, the amount of topics, and replies are to the right side, with the recent reply, time, latest thread, and time to the right.

This can be done by anyone with some moderate CSS knowledge and WordPress know how, unfortunately I possess little of both.

So I’m here for your help. Please share your wisdom with me and help me get this layout. This is a layout SO many people have asked for, yet I have found no tutorials on getting anything like this and it just astounds me considering how popular bbPress is, I don’t know why bbPress has a god awful layout.

Note: Please do not make any “well this is how bbPress is supposed to look like so you should deal with it” comments. I’m not here to hear that.

Thank you in advance to anyone who helps me achieve this. I really appreciate it.

I am posting a topic using this form, which specifies to post to post_parent ID 599.

Everything functions ok, but the topic will not show up in the frontend under the specified forum category.

It does show after posted, but in the backend. What am i missing to have it show up under the forum?
