Hello,

not being programmer, I can’t use this as it is but can this be used to help in my case to restore the edit and delete function from the topic top bar menu when using Polylang (FR and EN) ?

I am pushing at Polylang free support too but no luck so far … would be good to have Polylang and bbPress to talk together as being 2 big actors in WordPress…

Sorry if the question seems obvious to you …

Thanks for your help

Ps: I can provide access to test if useful…

ok thanks 🙂

the second one i tested it : it works fine but there is a problem :

Case 1 : if user replies : he would see “reply awaiting moderation” on his post AND this post will be public : it should be hidden for all except admin / the poster

Case 2 : if user posts a topic : he posts the topic and then nothing happens, he can think its a bug, as he would actually have to scroll up to see his topic is actualy listed at the top with the topic subject (awaiting moderation)

so 2 problems in this case 2 :
– he can think its a bug and that his topic has not been posted and so would try again
– the topic subject is public : it should be hidden

Waiting to test first plugin to see if it works better !

Hi Robin

This plugin has been closed from WordPress plugins on 11 february

Any other plugin to moderate topics ?

i was hoping that the feature for comments :

Before a comment appears
1) Before a comment appears Comment must be manually approved
2) Comment author must have a previously approved comment

would also work for bbpress

but i tested and it doesnt work…

Apparently only the 2 settings comment moderation blacklist are working :

– number of links
– stopwords

but the problem is there is no warning message showing if someone adds 2 links for instance and then submits, nothing tells him his post is pending moderation (same test for stop words)

Also the admin doesnt have any notification of pending post, no mail, nothing on dashboard, i had to go directly to admin topics to see the pending topics

Best moderation would be to always moderate the first post for any user, how could i do that ?

i just found this other moderation plugin that does exactly what im describing but it’s 8 years old without update, does it still work ?

Thanks a lot !

untested (as I am on holiday without test server access), but try

add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_author_link' , 'rew_return_null' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_author_link' , 'rew_return_null' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_get_author_link' , 'rew_return_null' ) ;

function rew_return_null () {
return ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

or use

Robin, wow, that is exactly what I was looking for…
Will test it, thanks!

Test to see what REPLY does 😀

Edit : actually any REPLY button on any message is simply a reply to the entire topic ?

Second question : can we quote on BBpress ? this is very useful, i dont see this option

Thanks 🙂

with wordpress 5.9 this works on my test site

bbp style pack

go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>topic/reply form and look at item 9

[Robin W]

Would I just use– for example– an existing WP installation, and install the latest bbPress as a plugin? Then, once installed in WP as a plugin, I go to bbPress, dashboard > tools > … ?

basically yes 🙂

[ajaxStardust]

Thank you!

I think I get what you’re saying, but I’m not quite following what to do. I’m sure it’s easy. 🙂

I presume there will be an “update database” process. Cool. This will be interesting. Backup, of course. 🙂

Thanks!

I would like to add a title banner to all my forum pages so that it is consistent with the rest of the website.

This page is an example of what I would like it to look like – wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forum-home/ – this is created with Divi though with shortcodes which doesn’t work so this is just for visual representation.

So, I think I am after a way to inject this title banner into the forum pages, perhaps using the functions.php file, I am not entirely sure but would really appreciate some guidance on how to crack this.

This is my current forum layout – wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/

Thanks so much,
Ollie

PS. I am using latest version of WP and bbPress.

[ollietubb1]

Hi there,

I hope someone can help. I have an issue with these two bbPress pages.

See here example: wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/users/ollie-tubb/

It picks up the divi default formatting rather than the structure of the other pages, see example here: wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/advice/finance/

It needs to sit in the same style template but I don’t know how to do this. I am using Divi theme but i am using the bbPress default set-up (not shortcodes).

Help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ollie

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Hello Robin,

Me again! We have come back to bbPress as after testing BuddyPress the client has decided this is more effective for their purpose.

Please can you let me know the best way to remove the sidebar from the forum pages? I found some old articles but nothing very recent. I am using DIVI theme if that helps.

Here is the forum so far – https://wbc1.otiscreative.co.uk/forums/

Many thanks,
Ollie

On my test site – it goes into being draft

If you look at

dashboard>replies>all replies

you should see it as draft in there – I did an approve to get it back.

Can you test that you get the same.

If you are getting that as well, then I’ll take a look to see what the bug is, as agree it should work on the front end.

[budget101]

I just created a new forum as a test, (called “test”) and when I did, the “Community” header just changed links, now it links to the Test forum. I’d like to remove the link entirely.

[budget101]

Sorry, so on that main forum index page, the Header, “Community” becomes a clickable link to the last created forum in the site.

My question, is, where/what template would insert this as a link? and why did it pick the latest forum created…

I can only suggest standard fault finding viz

My site with wordpress 5.9, bbpress 2.6.9 and style pack 4.9.1 (which has the bug fix automatically in it) with the visual editor turned on – all works fine

[Chuckie]

I am using latest bbPress and WordPress.

I have just noticed when I create a forum topic that whilst my tinymce toolbar is fine, when I click the Text tab I get an empty toolbar.

Why would that be? Is there no longer a text toolbar in WordPress?

[budget101]

@robin I am experiencing the exact same issue, even when using ?ao_noptimize=1 to shut off Autoptimize for testing.

I also use GeneratePress (pro), and bbpress with bbpstylepack .

The individual forums show perfectly, but the index is very broken and missing proper styling.

The issue can be seen here https://www.budget101.com/community/

Hi.

I can’t figure out something.

My forum can be reached over two different links:
1. https://www.esperoart.com/members-forum/ – that’s the link used by logged in users. I have a widget with Latest Activity there.

2. But it can be also reached directly here: https://www.esperoart.com/forums/ – and here the widget is not displayed.

When someone clicks on any topic, for example Welcome Center, the breadcrumbs are: Home > Forums > Welcome Center. Now when that person wants to go back and clicks on “Forums” it takes him to the link from point 2 – which is like the main forum, but without the widget. He would have to click on “Home” to see the same page with the widget.

The navigation is inconsistent. How can I fix this?

Thank you
Chris

[Robin W]

it maybe a dependant plugin issue? ie an additional plugin which needs bbpress

so the standard fault finding applies viz…
