– v2 LATEST POST (1 yr, 10 months)
– cat 1 (1 yr, 10 months)
– cat 2 (no topics)
– cat 3 (1 week, 3 days)
– etc
Why is 1 yr, 10 months being displayed out on the main screen instead of the 1 week, 3 day post? We ran the latest activity repair.
You can see it at http://www.bfsucommunity.com/ under Volume Two.
Thanks!
Hi there, I’m hoping someone might be able to give me some advice on a fix for the following:
bbPress is working fine for Administrators, however, users with any other Site Role can’t read the Topics (even if they are a Forum Moderator or Keymaster).
For non-Administrators, the Topics index works fine and when you select a Topic you can read any Replies that have been made, as well as having the ability to post a reply (as long as your Forum Role is sufficient), all that is missing is the original Topic itself.
If a previous reply has quoted the Topic, then you can read the quoted topic within the reply.
The Topic exists, the original just isn’t visible to non-Administrators.
I’ve deactivated all plugins and the problem persists.
I’ve tried it with the theme Twenty Twelve and the problem persists.
Changing the Forum Role doesn’t affect the problem.
Only users with the Site Role “Administrator” can read Topics.
Obviously I can’t make everyone an Administrator and have run out of ideas on how to go about fixing this.
Wordpress 4.9.4; bbPress 2.5.14
Forum Link: https://www.getleanfiji.com/forums/general/
NB: The forums are part of a private membership site that is still under development. I have made one of the forums (which contains some test Topics and Replies) publicly accessible via the above link. Access to the site is controlled using Membership 2 and the Groups plugins, although these don’t appear to affect the problem.
Hi All,
I had a website with multiple groups and forums, public, private and hidden.
The hidden group is for invited members only to share sensitive information using the group’s hidden forum.
I need the ability for people within this hidden group/forum to be able to search its contents.
1. I made a test post in the hidden group’s forum.
2. I logged in as anstrong>a admin/member of the hidden group
3. I used the “Search Forums” box and searched for the test post
4. Test post was found. Excellent
5. I then logged in as a non-member of the hidden group. This member cannot even see the hidden group in the listings.
6. I used the “Searched Forums” box like before and searched for this test post
AND IT APPEARED! So now a non-member can find sensitive information via the search forum box.
What have I done or do I need to do, to make the contents of the Hidden Group/Forum only searchable to members?
Side Note: Ideally I would like a search box within the Hidden Group/Forum as going back to the forums page to use the Search Forums box is tedious.
Please help 🙁
This was solved (I hope). It turns out that I had checked in the main settings under forums to give each group a forum. Then I had selected the forum option when creating a group. I think this caused a conflict.
I also set the drop down to root. I hope that makes it work. I tested it as the users and it seems fine.
I want to add a taxonomy (which I’ve already created) to replies which are in all forums except one. I’m struggling to find the exact functions that I need to use for this though, e.g. to check the forum name (I don’t want to rely on the forum ID in case that is changed in a reinstall) and to set the taxonomy. I can’t find a list of all functions in the documentation.
I’m going to be creating a child theme and I’m pretty sure that it’s bbp_insert_reply() that I need to modify. I’ve found that ok. But it’s what functions to call to do the simple test and set that I want to do that I’m struggling with, even searching the function files of other parts of bbPress. So it seems like a simple case of testing the forum name and then setting the taxonomy if the test passes, but I am unsure of the two functions to use.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? Thanks in advance.
definitely not what I get.
I’m tied up on a project at the moment which requires me not to have threading on my test site, so it could be a few days before I look further.
However contact me via my website and when I get a chance I’ll take a quick look at your site
http://www.rewweb.co.uk
ok, so if you say the forum is public, but hidden in buddypress, then we are on basic fault finding.
so as a test
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.
I’d start with buddypress. You are just deactivating as a test.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
For our restricted members bbPress forum, I would like to display a user’s BadgeOS points below their username next to their posts/replies. I already found some code to display these points but I am not sure if it’s correct and how to make it show below the username.
function badgeos_get_users_points( $user_id = 0 ) {
// Use current user’s ID if none specified
if ( ! $user_id )
$user_id = wp_get_current_user()->ID;
// Return our user’s points as an integer (sanely falls back to 0 if empty)
return absint( get_user_meta( $user_id, ‘_badgeos_points’, true ) );
}
Any help would be much appreciated!
FYI: we also use the latest versions of BuddyPress and the Boss theme.
Update: this latest posts’ scripts seems to be working
I’d suggest that something else is disrupting the setting
It could be a theme or plugin issue

Alright, I tested the function you wrote but unfortunately it’s not doing anything.
In order to try and help you some more you can now visit some topics.
For everything you wrote above I now display the values in a table so you can see exactly what’s happening. I also made it possible to run and disable your function (although you won’t see any difference in the values)
You can browse through the forums/topics to see the values for different topics.
And yes, I have phpMyAdmin acces.
Funny but strange fact:
I’ve imported the topics via csv. The topics with recent activity show a wrong value for the last page. The topics that have not been active after the import do show the correct value (the 7th topic and any topic below that have not been active).
If any I would have expected it to be the other way around.
Thank you, unfortunately just tested it creating a new users with for both admin and editor roles and posting a reply with a link and the nofollow is still there 🙁
ok, I think you should try 3 things
1. reset permalinks – I doubt it is this, but always an easy first thing
Dashboard>settings>permalinks and just click save – this resets them
2. try and run repair
Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time
3. If those 2 fail, the it may well be an update problem, so I’m afraid you’ll need to try this

I’ve done some more digging…
Wordpress uses an embed function to do this, which my simple css changes won’t alter
There are 3 ways to overcome this, as pre this blog
https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/disable-embeds-wordpress/
The first is a plugin, but that is an old one.
I tested
Disable Embeds
and this worked fine.
Hi Robin,
Thanks for your quick response.
I’ve linked three screen shots below to show what’s different from a successful class in January, and the current class (Regency Post) and the one scheduled to start on Saturday (British Officer).
In this first screenshot of a topic posted in January, you can see that everything is showing up as expected:
TOPIC TITLE is followed by breadcrumbs, then the information on voices and freshness.
Then comes the topic container with the columns listed and below that the topic’s datestamp and mod menu, then author’s Gravatar, Name, and the content of the topic posted. Any replies follow the topic content as expected.
https://www.kristenkoster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-14-at-4.31.10-PM.png
From a forum topic posted earlier this week that has replies:
TOPIC TITLE is followed by breadcrumbs, then the information on voices and freshness.
Then the next thing that’s show are the replies that would normally follow the topic content. Notice there is no topic container or mod menu and everything from the original topic post is missing. The topic content IS in the database as I got it in email just fine using the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugin which I just added in this afternoon and it’s visible from the admin side when the topic is edited there.
https://www.kristenkoster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-14-at-4.30.42-PM.png
From a forum topic posted earlier today that has no replies:
Again, TOPIC TITLE is followed by breadcrumbs, then the information on voices and freshness.
But since there are no replies there is no topic container or mod menu or any of the topic content and only the reply box shows.
https://www.kristenkoster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-14-at-4.30.42-PM.png
So obviously it looks like I’ve managed to zap some lines that pull that information into the generated page, but for the life of me, I don’t know where to start looking to find it to fix it again.
Thanks! -Kristen
just tried it using a simulator
http://mobiletest.me/
and yes it doesn’t appear.
suggest you add it to the main menu
lots of plugins that will do this eg
Login Logout Register Menu
the no follow is added at output, not on saving.
so we need to see if the topic/reply is written by an admin or editor and then remove the filter that does the no-follow
This coded is untested, but should work
add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_content' , 'follow_topic_if_admin' , 10 , 2) ;
function follow_topic_if_admin ($content, $topic_id) {
$user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) ;
$user_meta=get_userdata($user_id);
$user_roles=$user_meta->roles;
$allowed_roles = array('editor', 'administrator');
if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user_roles ) ) {
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow', 50 );
}
return apply_filters( 'follow_topic_if_admin', $content, $topic_id );
}
add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_content' , 'follow_reply_if_admin' , 10 , 2) ;
function follow_reply_if_admin ($content, $reply_id) {
$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ;
$user_meta=get_userdata($user_id);
$user_roles=$user_meta->roles;
$allowed_roles = array('editor', 'administrator');
if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user_roles ) ) {
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow', 50 );
}
return apply_filters( 'follow_reply_if_admin', $content, $reply_id );
}
Add this to your functions file.
Let me know if it works
Thanks Robin, that didn’t work but at least I can set the option manually for each new user. I’ll try deactivating other plugins to see if there’s a conflict. There’s a message on the plugin to say it hasn’t been tested with the current version of WordPress so maybe there’s an issue there. I’ll check the support forum for the toolkit.

I would like to run the bbpress forums without BuddyPress, if possible. Is there a solution to this issue?
yes bbpress runs quite happily on its own – my bbpress sites run without buddypress.

An engaging business community giving credit to people who take the time to submit comprehensive organizational case studies
beyond ‘support desk’ help I’m afraid – it is do-able but lots and lots of bespoke coding needed (The site is not a bbpress one) . My style pack would help in getting a nicer look
bbp style pack
1/ If i deactivate this plugin, i can’t upload new media.
I’m doing differently, i posting via then Control Panel / Topics / New topic.
But i don”t know how other people on our forum can upload new media without this plugin.
2/ OKI ! Nice !
I’ve doing it also for loop-single-topic.php, in lines 60 & 98.
I’m testing with 20 for the size.
3/ Thank you. 🙂
4/ Is it difficult to explain you here, because, we can’t upload on this forum. But i’ve pushed via my mobile on my website for you :
There is few space for text and the topic is not easy to read on mobile.
As you can see on the second one, my avatar is also a little strange in responsive mode… 🙁
5/ I have no a new question also (number five ;)) :
I can’t find the “fil d’ariane” (Breadcrumb ?) on the top of my forum.
I’ve the SEO plugin installed.
Any idea ?
It could be a theme or plugin issue

From @matevoun
Then, now :
1/ I think this is because i’ve installed bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin, but i need this for uploading new media… 🙁
2/ Yes, tell me what can i do… 🙂
3/ Done ! Thank you ! I’ve installed your plugin. 😉
4/ I think this is a too little for texte + avatar.
How can i do now ?
Hope to read you soon…
1. As a test deactivate that plugin and see if it works without. If so re-enable and contact that plugins author
2. for the forum list
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
so change line 68
<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>
amend 14 to whatever size you want
3. glad you like it
4. without knowing exactly what you want, I cannot suggest css changes – I suspect we will not fix this one
Thanks guys, I had the latest bbPress installed but my converter.php looked different so now I am using the converter.php file which Stephen posted and did not do any change to it. Then I tried the phpBB3 import again but know I am stuck at “Starting conversion” … it just won’t stop and there is no error message. How can I finally get this to work?
Sorry, English is not my native language, I can distort phrases. I’ll try differently:
After importing a new site in …wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic and wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply is there anything?
Perhaps the topic and answer did not receive the correct post_type when importing
You can try to update the old site.
You can backup the database (in order to roll back in case of something), then:
Disable all plugins.
Update WordPress (if you can not get to the latest version, then you can add intermediate ones – they are available at https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/)
After updating WordPress update bbPress.
P.S.Your links require authentication 🙂
Hi BBpress people!
Okay, it’s taken me days to go through with the conversion between vbulletin and bbpress. Until now, I have yet to see my complete forums in bbpress. The process stops eventually every time I restart.
180K Threads
4.2m Post
170 Users
What I have done is:
– copied the vbulletin site to vbulletincopy
– prune it down to 100K post (replies)
– start the conversion
– it’s taken me 8hrs and i’ve only got 18,000 replies converted.
Question 1:
How else can I do this conversion? I really want to get bbpress working.
Can I try this?:
– copy 4 or 5 copies of vbulletin db
– prune posts according to date (eg: 2018 – 2015 / 2015 – 2014)
– go through the conversion again with every “batch” and let it overwrite somehow?
Question 2:
How can I copy it in stages and let the forums operate with the latest data and I can overwrite with more old threads later?
Thanks!
