Hello,

Ive just imported quite a large Vbulletin3 forum to bbPress using the built-in importer and it doesnt seem to have imported any replies,

The threads and users moved over ok but there are no replies listed in bbPress.
I ran the repair options after the import one by one.

Wondered if anyone had any ideas ?

Hello guys. Please help me to solve one very simple problem. I’m using a theme which has fullwidth option. So the main page of bdpress forum is displayed in the way it should be. However, pages of different topics has widgets. What should I do to make them working properly?
Sorry for my English)

Hi

The problem is that there is no way to upgrade to the new version of the bbPress, so it has to work as it is. Every file in the bb template have got get_header(); and there is include wp-load.php in the bb-config.php. Title is fine, but there is no output from the wp_head(). I found that I should replace wp-load with the wp-blog-header. I did that, but wp_head() is still empty. Somebody mentioned that get_header() should be in bb-config.php. I put it in there and it works. Kind of. The function wp_head() finally echoes everything, but the title is empty. No wonder, there are no bb_ and is_ functions that would do something. So, is there a way to get wp_head working the right way?

Hi! I want to close some of my topics when get to 20 replies. I found this: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/auto-close-topics/

But can I specific by topic id which ones to close when they reach that 20 reply limit?
Thanks!

Currently, the font color is nearly the same as the background, making it extremely hard to see. I don’t know CSS well enough to be able to change it myself, so I could and would appreciate some help!

WordPress version: Latest
BBPress version: 2.5.4

I’m using the Recent Topics Widget with Order by set to Recent Replies. It’s working great except I would like to change the topic author that it displays to the latest reply author instead. Can someone tell me how to make this happen?

Hi,
I run a couple of different bbpress installations, of course they’re both up-to-date (2.5.4)

I noticed that on both installations, when you trash a topic, and you try to “un-trashit” you receive a nonce error.

I’m not sure if this issue depends on my personal configuration, but of course i disabled all other plugins and used a fresh wp install.

Being a PHP developer I digged inside the core files of bbpress and I noticed that in includes/topics.php on line 818 the nonce is generated with

wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( '_wp_http_referer' => add_query_arg( array( 'post_type' => bbp_get_topic_post_type() ), admin_url( 'edit.php' ) ) ), admin_url( sprintf( $post_type_object->_edit_link . '&action=untrash', $topic->ID ) ) ), 'untrash-' . $topic->post_type . '_' . $topic->ID )

so the “sent” nonce is basically untrash-topic_<ID>, while the nonce check on wordpress (on post.php line 265 is:

check_admin_referer('untrash-post_' . $post_id);

or basically untrash-post_<ID>.

Can anyone tell me if other people found out a similar issue untrashing topics or is it just me? Thanks in advance for your support 🙂

Hi,

I’m building a forum based website at the moment. You can see the progress here (it’s no where near finished yet): http://pkuconnect.wp-dev.com.au/

At the bottom of the home page, there are 3 columns: News & Events, Forum Activity, Latest Recipes. Forum Activity and Latest Recipes are both private forums (News & Events are just posts).

Now, when you aren’t logged in, the forum and recipes boxes on the home page are empty. However, when you are logged in, they show the 4 latest topics titles with links to the topics for more information – similar to how the latest news and events is working.

What I want to do is show the latest 4 topic titles in each forum to EVERYONE and not just logged in users so that non-logged in users aren’t shown blank boxes. The aim is to prompt the user to log in once they click on one of the links to view more. I can do this by editing the 404.php template. However, for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to feed topic titles and links through to the home page from private forums to non-logged in users.

Is there a way to query_posts from private forums for non-logged in users?

Does the importer handle the custom profile fields in phpbb3, sepcifically the functionality in version 3.10+? Phpbb3 now allows admins to create new custom profile fields, beyond the ones listed as imported kept in phpbb3_users. There are at least 4 related tables, starting with <phpbb3_profile_fields…>.

Is it correct to think these custom profile fields should go into BuddyPress xprofile fields, or should they go into wp_meta (?) during bbpress import? If you happen to know, is there a way to import phpbb3 custom profile fields into BuddyPress if that is the appropriate target?

Thanks, Mike

Is there a way for me to redirect the submit button on the bbp-topic-form to an email address (like mailto:xys@whatever.com) rather than have it post a thread? I want people to be able to use the functionality of bbpress to add html and insert code if needed but want it to function more like a contact form.

Any suggestions are appreciated
