Hi there. I am using bbPress plugin for a medical forum webiste. For some reasons, my Disputo Rating System Plugin is not working on my Forum page. When I try to like or dislike a topic or a replie from a specific topic, the system shows me an POST 500 (Internal Server Error) in my Console. I have to mention that the Rating System plugin is working on my Blog page, so I can like or dislike an article or a comment from an article.

I tried to deactivate the Ultimate Member Plugin and the error no longer displayed in Console, but the Rating Plugin is still nonfunctional.

I tried to find the “Vote on Forum Posts” permission from Ultimate Member Plugin, but I can’t find it. Is there any workaround I can fix this ?

All Rating System settings are very well set.

Error log:

[21-Feb-2024 12:16:17 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Unsupported operand types: string + int in /home/consul15/public_html/wp-content/plugins/disputo-rating-system/posts-pages.php:81

I am hoping someone can answer this, I just started with BBPress for a charity gig, and they want a custom login so the user have to give name address and postcode to confirm they are based within the country and thus should be permitted to join

then assign the user a unique six digit ID so they can vote on concerns in the local community

is this something bbpress can do

there’s always a way, but only so much time I can devote – if I get a moment, I’ll take a look

A little update on this too. 🙂

The $count of favoriters is updated correctly on topic’s single page.
But when the $count is called elsewhere, WordPress seems to take the first _bbp_favorite encounter.

Looking at posts’ metavalues, it seems that every ‘favorite’ mention becomes an extra _bbp_favorite

My code doesn’t say anything about taking the highest number – maybe this would be the solution?

$subscriptions = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_bbp_favorite', true) ;
$count = count($subscriptions) ;
$output .= '<li><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'an_extra_field', true) . '</a><br> <span> Votes :'  . get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_bbp_favorite', true) . '</span></li>';
          }
          $output .= '</ul>';
          wp_reset_query();
     }
     return $output;
}

[Robin W]

what plugin are you using to get the ‘upvotes’ ?

[kvnandula04]

Hi,

So the question has everything really. But I want to show the total number of upvotes a person has received and I want to put that number near the name. I have access to the backend, so I was thinking maybe I could get the number of upvotes from the database and put that number next to the name. Any help with this would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I would like to know if your extension allows you to do these things :
– Create a group to join (administrator approval to join) to view certain topics
– Ability to move a topic from one group to another
– In topics, that members can share photo and video content and links in addition to text.
– In the member’s space, possibility to create a photo album with the modification of the privacy of this album
– Show the latest topics at the top
– Ability to alert an administrator if content needs to be reported
– Online chat to exchange between members
– Being able to vote for a message in a topic

Thank you in advance for your contributions.

We look forward to hearing from you,

[Robin W]

@xprojectsx good contribution – and I don’t think there is a perfect solution. I am Never quite sure what people expect from ‘community’ software. As an author of 6 plugins, the thought that when releasing these as free code for others to use and adapt, I am expected to respond to every query on the code for evermore, would make me never do it. I enjoy the challenge of support, but there will come a time when I tire of doing this for no money, and expectation that I fix issues I had not considered and that I had never planned only strengthens this. Bbpress was written as lite forum software, allowing others to extend it. It started over 15 years ago as a geek who like writing code (as I do). Then is response to requests it was added as a plugin to WordPress. The authors have I suspect many other priorities now in their lives, they are 15 years older. Their choices are 1. To close the plugin, and make many forums redundant. 2. To devote vast chunks of their free time to continue supporting 3. To do key code as their time permits 4. Just to hope that other people do this for free.
Against this there are paid products, but yes they cost or are used (I think quite justifiably) as a sales tool to produce income to pay the developers. Someone has to pay the bills.

Hi @danishsard, How did you do the disabling of the votes column? Could I have instructions?

[wpulike]

We tried to develop a voting plugin to easily add a Like and Dislike button to your website forum topics.
Also, you can add these buttons to activities in BuddyPress and even posts and comments. we designed 15 templates for votes (and still adding new ones monthly). Meanwhile getting votes without a tool to measure it would be meaningless and so, we added a comprehensive Statistics Tools to the plugin so you can observe and generate charts and reports easily. we will appreciate if you check out our efforts and give us feedback. visit WP ULike Pro for more information and details.

Hi Andreas,

I use bbress voting plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-voting/

You can see it in action at wateratairports.com

I have it so it will order according to the vote as well.

ok change

<div class="bbp-reply-content"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic()
			? esc_html_e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' )
			: esc_html_e( 'Posts',   'bbpress' );
		?></div><!-- .bbp-reply-content -->

to

<div class="bbp-reply-content"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic()
			? esc_html_e( 'Replies', 'bbpress' )
			: _e( ‘<div align=”center” style =”color:#ff0000″>Please check out all the replies below,<br> if you find a post helpful please vote using the arrows</div>’, ‘bbpress’ ); 
?></div><!-- .bbp-reply-content -->

You should really put this file into a child theme if you have one

so you would do the following

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

then upload the new file to this directory so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-replies.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[Clivesmith]

I am sorry to ask this now as I know you are busy with a great update but I do have a bit of a problem.

I managed to sort most of it out with the old version but am struggling with the new update.

What I did was remove from the header on the replies page all the headings except “author” and change the “posts” to text I want with some formatting.

in my childtheme style.css
I included this to remove most of the headings from everywhere.

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
border-top: 3px solid #0a9ed3;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 8px;
}

li.bbp-forum-freshness, li.bbp-forum-freshness {
display: none;
}

li.bbp-forum-freshness, li.bbp-topic-freshness {
display: none;
}

li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title { width:100%; }

li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-forum-topic-count {
display: none;
}
li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
display: none;
}
li.bbp-topic-title { width:100%; }

li.bbp-topic-voice-count, li.bbp-topic-voice-count {
display: none;
}

li.bbp-topic-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
display: none;
}

I know this next bit was a dirty way to do it but…
in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-replies.php
I changed line 24 from
<?php _e( ‘Posts’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
to
<?php _e( ‘<div align=”center” style =”color:#ff0000″>Please check out all the replies below,<br> if you find a post helpful please vote using the arrows</div>’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>

which put in my text in red centered with a carriage return in the middle.

If I do the same now, I cannot put formatting in. But also I realized that the “author” label is not needed, in fact it looks totally wrong with a mobile.
You can see what I mean if you look at this page https://wateratairports.com/topic/london-gatwick-lgw/ with both a large screen and a mobile
Could someone help please ?

Hello, maybe it would be worth to add voices to the settings panel in the bbpress options. Most people do not want to use it, why impose it. At home I turned it off by cutting out in the code of the page https://infomiasto.eu/forum/tematy/rozmowy/ but it is a solution that you need to repeat when updating, and maybe it would be such a setting

[Danishsard]

Many pages with bbpress forums cannot use their national texts because there is no accepted translation. In the forum settings there should be assumptions where you can enter the forum entries yourself, for example: new topic, reply, newest, etc.

Also, there should be an option to pay out these beams with a description of how many votes are on a given topic (WHO’S WHOM FOR WHOM), and how many posts are in the topic and who last gave, it should also be to choose whether you want to see it.

My site in Polish but is displayed in large numbers in English language because there is no transaction that awaits for years to be approved https://infomiasto.eu/forum/tematy/rozmowy/ so you would write the right words yourself.

@robin-w
What’s the problem? Are you hired here to provide support?

– You can create a GitHub repository and all issues will be nicely organized. You can have priority and severity labels. You will be efficient by focusing on what’s actually important.
– Maybe implement voting and the community will decide what is important to fix and what isn’t. For example what I report is rather “high priority” to fix as this is a front page visual bug.
– Bugs could be quickly identified and eliminated.
– “Random support requests” are chaos and not important to answer (unless they get enough votes from community).

Problem solved?

@liyacaty
No, I’m not using any caching plugins.

I think these “Recount” actions in Tools > Forums are breaking things. Are they even necessary? If some could be eliminated and done automatically that would be great.

Using Gravity Forms and bbPress, I am attempting to create a new topic, within a specific forum, upon form submission.

I have tried to incorporate the Gravity Forms Custom Post Type add-on to accomplish this, but, presumably due to the non-heirarchial structure of bbPress forums, I only seem able to either:

A) Create a new FORUM with the submitted data
or
B) Create a new TOPIC that goes unassigned to any forum

So, basically, unless a topic can be created as a child of a forum, I’m not sure there’s a way to get this working with that add-on.

Is there any way I can force the topic to be created within a specified forum using php? Any other thoughts or alternatives? Maybe a workaround that forces all topics created via Gravity Forms submission to default to a specified forum?

For what it’s worth, I am using Gravity Forms for users to submit event proposals. My idea is to then have the submission data routed into a forum like bbPress where the powers that be may vote on and discuss each proposal.

nevermind,
since i have seen a lot of users looking for this kind of live notification thing, i’m posting this,
i installed buddypress. it gives notifications about reply, quote, @mentions, messaging but not about the upvote, reporting, favoriting, subscribing. so i guess it’s not perfect but it’s something.

[fashionistaaa]

http://babble.epizy.com/

4.9 beta 1 wp
bbPress 2.5.14-6684.

I have already made my site and just now realized there’s no live notification widget of any kind. why is that? i cant expect my users to always run to their email to check for notificatioons. how could bbpress miss such an integral thing? is there any way i can notify users of replies, mentions, votes without them having to check the email every now and then???

[theacademicperson]

Hi friends,

I know I’m posting on a topic that was asked many times on this forum before (including my post from the last year).

There need to be a voting option (upvote and/or downvote) in the forum topics. It is a must to have a functionality to automatically arrange the topics based on voting by viewers.

Almost all the popular interactive forums on the web contains this feature…Stackexchange, Reddit to name a few. Others have a voting system without any rearrangement of the posts based on it…Google plus, Facebook etc.

I admit bbPress is a great forum builder on the greatest CMS at this moment (WordPress)…but it (and all forums build on it) lacks this critical feature.

As I already said this feature is being requested for a very long time, but it wasn’t added on the updates of bbPress.

So it is my earnest request to please add this feature.

You can see how many people has been requesting this by just doing a quick search in this forum – https://bbpress.org/forums/search/vote/

[mad_gunman]

Thanks, the plugin looks awesome. But what i want to do is to order the answers within a topic, either by date or votes. Not the topics in the listing. Cheers,Robert

[TKServer]

TESTED ON A REAL DEVICE AND WORKING! Since the last app update I’ve implemented a login which keeps you logged in basically forever unless you logout. Once logged in a user can post new topics, reply to topics or other replies, and vote with the thumbs up/down.

Ute Hub mobile app update: New pending features include creating topics, replying, thumbs up/down & more! Coming in a day or two! pic.twitter.com/N1QhNQ4YR7

[mad_gunman]

Dear all,

it is possible to sort topics in the overview by either votes or date. What i would like to to is also sorting the answers within a topic by date or votes. Is there a way or a plugin to do that?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers, Robert

Hi. I’m new to WordPress. I’m creating a site and I wanted it to have a forum so I installed bbPress. There are 2 categories in the menu. Each of them contains forums. There’s 3 issues I have.
1) Under the text box for writing a comment, visitors to the site will see “Topic Type” and “Topic Status”, each with its own drop-down menu. I don’t want visitors to have access to those. I looked through all the forum settings and can’t find a way to get rid of them. How do I do it?

2) The font used for the menu is fine but the font used for the forum names is too small. Where do I increase the font size for forum names?

3) Is there something built in to the plugin that lets visitors rank or vote for posts? High-ranking posts would appear above other posts. Does the plugin have anything like this?

Thanks.

[Jojo]

I vote too for this feature, I ask to Wilson B. (Private Group’s developer) if his plugin do that and if he could integrate this feature in a new version.
It will be great !!
