Article comments should be integrated into defoult’s bbpress in my opinion.

bbPress Topics for Posts

I do not understand why this function does not actually exist and wordpress mentine these two desired services. In this way today few people leave comments and few people write in the forum …
I saw that the creatre of this plugin is @Robin W so I would like to ask him why wodpress doesn’t take this option into consideration.
Also I’d like to ask why this plugin hasn’t been updated in a while.
Thanks

[Robin W]

thanks, was a while ago that page was last updated – I’ve added you better solution 🙂

I am running Version 2.6.6 and for others running into this problem, I force installed BBPRESS Version 2.6.6 four times and this so far seems to have resolved my “new posts are added, but the Last Post time column is not updated”

Thanks for the assistance, as always and seems every time I post a question, I then solve it myself 😉

Such Fun!

Can I ask, do we know when the next release of the ‘BBP Style Pack’ might be released ?

[uksentinel]

To add, most of the Categories are updated automatically, just a couple of Categories are not working correctly

[solydee]

I have the same problem. Haven’t been able to find the solution yet.

It worked before, but when I downgraded all the plugins that were updated it still doesn’t work anymore.

Anyone an idea?

this plugin lets you set who can post links, and lots of other features.

It still works fine, despite not having been updated for a while

bbPress – Moderation Tools

[nickvernitsky]

I still have a problem with freshness update for category after topic moving from forum to other forum. I can’t find desired option in “tools – forums”. Problem is with last reply in this category. Updated freshness shows last topic not last reply.
Thank you!

For some reason after updating to 2.6.6 when checking users in the back-end it says their last activity was in 1970. The date is correct in the front end except for the registration dates being 7 hours off. Any ideas what is wrong?

@tylertervooren

Would you be able to update your plugin? I just went to get it and it says it hasn’t been updated for the 3 past WP updates. It has a big warning across it and says it’s been 3 years since updated. I really would love to try this! It might be just what I need!

[erich199]

@robin-w,
I am wondering if you had taken over the plugin bbpress topics for posts? I noticed a topic about it but then noticed the plugin hasn’t been updated in a very long time.

Can you fork it? I’d be happy to contribute to you for doing so.

[samtime]

Okay, got the following solution from a friend and it seems to work!
Posting the updated code here incase others have the same problem:

add_filter('woocommerce_disable_admin_bar', '_wc_disable_admin_bar', 10, 1);
 
function _wc_disable_admin_bar($prevent_admin_access) {
    if (!current_user_can("keymaster") && !current_user_can("bbp_moderator") ) {
        return $prevent_admin_access;
    }
    return false;
}

Thanks Robin for the feed back
checked my spam folder and nothing there, I spent a couple of hours yesterday trying to get it working, still no luck.

I’m not really sure its a bbPress problem, but either way, I’m at a loss.
I even updated wordpress,

I’m only using bbPress as a plugin, should there be another plugin I need to use, from my research the answer is no.

I’m using Divi Plugin, and an another theme

[laetee]

@robin-w I just installed and activated and it works. Thanks for your help.

I also didn’t realize you were the author of the style pack plugin, which I also have activated. This is the first real fix that has actually worked for me, so adding it to the trac ticket and your styling plugin would be most helpful to others, I would imagine.

Thanks again for your help on a rainy day.

Side note, how would I go about keeping this updated if for some reason you can’t? I’m guessing it has something to do with keeping the code updated, yes?

I recently migrated my forums to bbPress under WordPress from my old Drupal server.

Everything is great, all the subforums have their dates correct, and display correctly.

But the very top page the days are all wildly inaccurate. If I add a topic to the forum they update, but if I delete the topic again they revert to the former value.

I’ve run the >Tools > Forums > Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum and it reports successful if no change.

My forums are Forum > SubForum > Subforum > Topic if that matters.

I updated to WP 5.1.1 and did Robin’s permalinks trick. Now it works—yippee!!!

[Robin W]

thanks, please do keep us updated, and we’ll add a final working version to this thread if/when you suceed!

Unfortunately I didn’t keep a copy of mine when I did it.

[stefyonweb]

Hi Robin, thanks for your efforts.
It seems the problem with forum table was a field: “FORUM_ORDER” instead of “F_ORDER”.
Now forum table is ok, I’m going to check out every single field.
I’ll keep you updated 🙂

[stefyonweb]

Hi everyone, although 4 years have passed, I hope someone can help me 🙂
I’m trying to import a snitz database following these instructions, but I can only import users and “reply” table.
Analyzing forum table configuration I noticed, comparing the snitz.php file with the other files, that

‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_forum_id’

whereas in all the other files it’s

‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_old_forum_id’

I tried changing the value but had no success, though.

Maybe it depends on the fact that new bbPress version uses “post” and “postmeta” tables instead of custom bbPress tables?

I searched for ad updated snitz.php file but didn’t find any.

Thanks in advance 🙂

[Antipole]

Don’t know how this happened, but I have found the actual bbp_notify_forum/topic_subscribers calls were missing from the code I posted. Now fixed and updated – added lines 75-84.

[hellojesse]

Allright, so let me clarify what you need.

Some avatar maybe above the page when user is not logged in, it will show some menu with somelinks. Anthe when user log in updated menu for logged in users.

For logged in users links:

Profile
Topics Started
Replies Created
Engagements
Favorites
Subscriptions
Edit

Is it correct?

[hellojesse]

How do I add the post content to the first post of the new topic?

Under this action:
add_action('transition_post_status', 'send_new_post', 10, 3);

Replace with updated function:

// Listen for publishing of a new post
function send_new_post($new_status, $old_status, $post) {
  if('publish' === $new_status && 'publish' !== $old_status && $post->post_type === 'post') {
	$my_post = array(
	  'post_title' => $post->ID,
	);
	 
	$forum_id = bbp_insert_forum($my_post);

	$my_topic = array(
		'post_title' => $post->post_title,
		'post_content' => $post->post_content,
		'post_parent' => $forum_id
	);

	bbp_insert_topic($my_topic);
  }
}

Hi Guys

I have just added my first plugin to the WordPress Plugin Directory:

Add AutoSave | Fullscreen to TinyMCE

I wonder if it can be added to the list here on the site (or maybe in bbp style pack list)?

If you have the TinyMCE toolbar activated in your bbPress forum then it should hopefully show the extra two toolbar icons as details in the description for the plugin.

It works for me – has done so for many months. I just decided to make it available to the community and updated it to use the officially supported TinyMCE as was released with WordPress 5.5.

I am no plugin guru by any means, if it it helps anyone then it will have served it’s purpose.

Have a good day.

Andrew

Hey there, I tried using the translation part of the bbp style pack plugin, while assuming, that once I was able to fix the translations I would then fix the CSS styling issues I have mentioned above (this would just take a little work on my behalf). Anyway, even though it says you have to play around with it to get it right (e.g. add the full stop if there is one etc.), I was not able to implement the translations. I am sure it has something to do with the way my site is set up and not the plugin itself, but alas, I had to find a different option.
So, here is my frontend Javascript solution. I noticed that I have to put e.g. “weeks” before “week” in the object for it to work (i.e. plural before singular). For anyone who wants to know, the word “aktualisiert” refers to the English word “updated”, (as the verb goes to the end of the sentence in German it is slightly tricky to just translate “this was last updated…..”).
I am not sure if anyone needs this, but as I require help with my website from time to time from people like those at bbpress (thx btw), if I can be of any help, I would like to. This is an IIFE btw:

/* WB- translate some dodgy sentences (part English/ part German) */
var translate = function () {
    //check if the page is a forum page. If not, return function
    var isForum = document.querySelector("#bbpress-forums");
    if (!isForum) return;

    // find if either forum or topic description (topic is one level lower in the forum where people can answer individual posts. forum is where all the sub-topics are listed
    var forum = document.querySelector(".bbp-forum-description");
    var description = document.querySelector(".bbp-topic-description");

    //If not on either the forum description page or the forum topic page, return
    if (!forum && !description) return;

    //set a variable to add the innerHTML to 
    var d_text;

    if (forum) {
        // if forum has no topics make no tranlation changes and hide the "Oh bother.... div"
        if (forum.innerText === "Dieses Forum ist leer."){ 
        var oh_both_text = document.querySelectorAll(".bbp-template-notice");
        oh_both_text[1].style.display = "none";
        return;
    }
        d_text = forum.innerHTML;
    }
    if (description) {
        d_text = description.innerHTML;
    }

    // create object with list to translate (name: = English, value = Deutsch)
    var d_obj = {
        "This forum has": "Dieses Forum hat",
        "This topic has": "Dieses Thema hat",
        "This category has":"Diese Kategorie hat",
        "This topic is empty":"Dieses Thema ist leer",
        "hidden":"verdeckt",
        "and was last updated": "und wurde zuletzt",
        "seconds": "Sekunden",
        "minutes": "Minuten",
        "hours": "Stunden",
        "days":"Tagen",
        "day": "Tag",
        "weeks":"Wochen",
        "week": "Woche",
        "months": "Monaten",
        "month": "Monat",
        "years":"Jahren",
        "year":"Jahr",
        "by": "von"
    }

    // use Replace method to run through innerHTML and replace English text with German
    d_text = d_text.replace(/This forum has|This topic has|This category has|This topic is empty|hidden|and was last updated|seconds|minutes|hours|days|day|weeks|week|months|month|years|year|by/gi, function (matched) { return d_obj[matched]; });

    //add "aktualisiert" to end of sentence
    if (d_text.indexOf("und wurde zuletzt") > -1) {
    d_text = d_text.slice(0,-1).concat(" aktualisiert.");    }

    //update the innerHTML of either the forum or the topic page 
    if (forum) { forum.innerHTML = d_text; }
    if (description) { description.innerHTML = d_text; }
}();

this is one of the good and bad things about WordPress plugins.

It is good that they warn you that plugins have not been updated for a long period.

It is bad that it puts people off using perfectly good plugins because the author has had the goodness to release for free useful code to the world, but does not have the time or wish to be involved in supporting it.

But a well written plugin rarely needs changing if it does all that is required.

And since moderation tools hooks to bbpress functions that are long standing and stable, there are no issues I know with this plugin and I suspect it will work for years to come. If it breaks though minor issues, I’d clone it and re-issue.

You can sort of consider the warning a bit like a warranty. You don’t stop using the dishwasher because the year long warranty has run out, you just accept that maybe one day in the future it will stop working. When it does, then you may need to stop using it, but you do not go back to hand washing your dishes just because the warranty has run out on the dishwasher 🙂

If moderation tools stops working, you are no worse off than now. so if you use it for a while and it makes life easier, then that is a bonus.
