Hello,
I am using BBPress with the la in conjunction with Ultimate Member (everything is latest version). Our forums are supposed be completely private for non logged in users. This works for the individual forums and topics.
Unfortunately, we discovered that if you put in “Forums” after the website URL an index of all forums with topics shows up. You are not able to access them, but it is really not good for us to have this information show up at all.
How can I prevent the Forums index from appearing by typing the URL. Can this be done? I would really be grateful for some help here. Thank you.

Dear bbPress team member,

I’ve got a question about a difference that I encounter between the replies to a topic in a “normal” forum page versus the replies to the same topic “embedded” in another page.

I’ve recreated the problem in a new website:
https://cursus.fotograferenindenatuur.nl/
WP version 5.4.1
bbPress version 2.6.4
No other plugins are activated
Theme: Twenty twenty
Username and password: on request
To reach the “normal” page: main menu > community > click “Test forum” > click “Test topic”
To reach the “embedded” topic: main menu > Page for embedded topic

When someone replies to one of the messages in this topic (except for the first one) the replies should be nested under that message. In the “normal” forum page this works fine (for a logged in user). But when I “embed” this topic in another page, all replies are posted at the bottom of the list. And they are all posted as new replies to the topic, and not as nested replies.

Do you know how I can get nested replies in the embedded topic?

Best wishes,

Toine

Hi there,

I did just set up my forum, but when I start a new Topic the counter in the Overview does not change. I did some tries with multiple test-topics and replies, but no change. Always stays at 0 :-/

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi @canvasstudio,
my whole site crashed at some point and I started over without buddypress, as I suspected that it was this plugin that was causing the problem.
Now I have a test site and am experimenting again, as for my community buddypress would be ideal to have as well.

So yes I am interested in your solution!

Right now after installing buddypress, I dont see any activities from the private groups.

Ideally I would like that users see the activity according to their group permission.

Thanks

I think it was my fault. I thought I had created a test message but I had left the body of the topic empty and not ticked the recaptcha.

It would not jump to the error messages. It just went to top of screen. So I did not notice the post was not added.

It really should jump to the error message which I have nice and clear with a yellow border.

ok, this may or may nogt work

can you download this file

RSS Test

and then open it and paste the contents into code snippets ion the php/code section

then let me know if it does anything (at all!!)

One or two subscribers are not receiving email notifications despite having subscribed to the Forum. I’ve checked on the Forum and you can see that they have subscribed but looking at the mail logs, their email addresses aren’t on it. Has this happened to anyone else? Would be really grateful for your help. Latest WordPress & BBpress being used. Does it take some time for notifications to be sent after a member has registered? I’ve sent a test email through BB Style and they’ve received it but nothing is coming through from the Forum. Many thanks.

[schossie]

For me the plugin works and I am receiving notification emails, except that the text has weird elements –> \"
————
Admin has just mentioned you on their reply \"Reply To: test\":

\"@sandra

this is a tagging test\"
——————-

It would be so useful to get @mentions outside of buddypress

Hi Robin,

thanks for your reply. The problem seems to have disappeared as my testing account is now able to open new threads in the private forum (without confirmation by mod). I don’t know if I changed anything (of importance) but yeah it’s working now.

Thanks also for linking to the profile pluggin!

Hi there,

sorry if this is the wrong subforum. We are creating a forum for our members which are already registered on our WordPress site. And I’m currently testing the forum. Now I have the following problem.

Two things are very important:
1) the members/users should be able to create threads and write answers in threads without confirmation from the moderator
2) the forum may not be seen public

What is the solution for this? When I put everything in private mode the threads (opened by my test account) need confirmation from the moderator to open.
And when I put everything in public mode, other users (who are not registered with us) are able to see the forum when they know the URL. They are not able to create new threads or answer but they can see everything. It should, however, be private.

Also another thing: is there a way to deactivate the option to read the profiles of users? We want to keep privacy as high as possible so this would be of great help.

Thanks in advance

Hello!

I have a bbPress forum on my website. http://www.fullspectrumasd.org. I tested the registration system and was able to create a test user, but others who are trying to register are not receiving the automated registration email from WordPress. I have people waiting to use the forum who are not able to create a password. How can I get them registered?

Thanks,
Katie

I’m sorry , it does not indeed.

Edit: I’m sorry, I now understand the 3 and the 10 are add_filter inputs to set priority and number of arguments…

Your code works, thanks a lot. I have been to fast in my replies without proper testing.

[wilc097]

No, it occurs also when viewing all topics on the main page of a forum: within the link to the latest reply.
Every link that links directly to a specific reply on a certain topic has this issue.

[Robin W]

updated this – latest version does not error

[Chuckie]

I have this code:

// check frontend user privileges
$canEdit = is_user_logged_in() && (current_user_can('edit_posts') || current_user_can('edit_pages'));

But I am not sure it is right. Front end users who are logged in can’t create or edit posts on my site but they can create an edit forum topics and replies.

What is the correct syntax?

[justephen]

Thank you. I actually found it and installed and activated it. As I understand it, once activated it should add about six more pages to my site. Login, Registration, Password etc. None of those loaded. It did say, when I added plug in that the newest version has not been tested.

Thanks

[Robin W]

It isn;t on my site, so a css thing with your theme.

but glad it works, and thanks for testing !!

[Chuckie]

OK. The merging test I did worked fine. Thanks.

Question:

View post on imgur.com

Why is my “Merge topic tags” check box in the middle?! Why not on the left?

[Chuckie]

Oh, OK. So to test this out I simply have to try and merge two topics. Is that the idea? Or merge two replies? i did not follow this whole discussion.

[Chuckie]

Just upgraded to your latest version 4.5.1

Change log says:

additional bug fix for merge topics on variable mismatch on bug fixes tab

But I still only see 3 possible bug fixes listed? Please advise.

[Robin W]

@randrcomputers sinvce my code only runs on new topics – would be worth running a test with it enabled and disabled, and see if it makes a difference – if it does then come back.

[finallyfoundausernamenotusedbefore]

I am known to make mistakes! Maybe I did something wrong.

The bad news is that my super-dooper moderator (who I admit I did ask to test things to death before we open the site to the masses) has now discovered he gets that same error messages when trying to merge topics.

The fix in BBstylepack is still activated so it seems that isn’t a fix for everything.

I’m not sure if I should be asking for more help from you as the impression I get is that another plugin is causing a conflict. And looking at your snippet code it looks to me as if that is for splitting topics only. But I thought I should make you aware.

Meanwhile I will start disabling plugins and see what gives.

John

Best regards,

John

Hi,
I’d love to display the latest forum topic to my logged in user using a ‘hello bar’ / horizontal bar at the top of my site (I’d build it in Elementor).

I’ve tried with the [bbp-display-topic-index show=’5′] shortcode but it displays it vertically.
I’m not well versed in php but I can copy and adapt.
Would anyone be able to advise how I can do this?
Thanks!

Hi guys,

Quite simply the “favorites” button does not show beside the subscribe button on any topic or forum on my site.

I have deactivated – reactivated bbPress. Tried the Twenty Seventeen Theme. Nothing has worked.

I have the latest WordPress version 5.4
I have bbPress version 2.6.4

My site is https://fashioncollaborate.com but you wont be able to see anything unless you are a subscribed member. I can provide admin credentials privately?

[ticsandthoughts]

Hello,

I am using the latest version of wordpress (5.4) and the most recent version of bbPress (2.6.4)

Website: ticsandthoughts.com

I am using the Responsive theme.

I am extremely new to all of this, so apologies if this is a dumb question. I recently set up a forum through bbPress and am wanting to remove the top text on the page “Archive: Forums”, as well as the text description “bbPress forums”.

Here’s a link to how it looks right now: https://ticsandthoughts.com/forums/

Thanks so much in advance!
