bbPress.org

I have a forum running WP Symposium and WordPress, all current versions, that I want to convert to bbPress. Won’t elaborate on reasons unless deemed to do so, LOL.

I have first started with a converter of my own, which was creating custom post types for forums, topics, and replies. Unfortunately, counters in bbPress weren’t set, so the frontend pages were incorrect, replies were not chained one after the other in topics, etc.

While digging these issues, I found out that bbPress has its own converter that works using modules. So I started over by creating a module, based on the existnig ones and URLs given in this forum, and tried to make it work for forums, first. But, they simply won’t convert, whatever I try I get ‘no forums to convert’.

While I have a relatively good knowledge of WP Symposium database tables, via custom developments etc., I’m at a loss on bbPress side. Hopefully someone can catch my call so we work together on adding WPS to the list of importable plateforms for bbPress…?

Thanks a lot,
Antoine

I can’t get into the replies in the dashboard, I am getting a generic 500 server error. I can access topics fine. This afternoon it was ok, I was in there editing a reply.

I can get into a reply as though to edit it if I use the back door by going through the forum and selecting “edit reply” at the top of the forum page! But if I try to go directly to All Replies from there, I get the same 500 server error.

I have done a chat with Bluehost who could only tell me to activate another theme (I used 2014) but I had no luck. Then he asked me to rename the htaccess file and then save it again. I didn’t try that as it seems a bit tricky.

I also tried the forum tool to Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum. No change there.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you, Matoca

I’ve been searching all over for this feature and can’t seem to find it.

My site has forums about popular video games, so they get filtered in and out. When the time comes to fade them out, the ability to either delete the forum and send all its topics to another forum parent would be ideal. Also, the ability to multi edit a topic’s parent forum would be incredibly helpful.

Is there a way to do this that I’m missing?

im trying to put buddypress x-profile fields in bbpress on loop-single-reply.php after the author role and avatar

I have created one called Location

my function to display it is

<div class="bbp-usr-location"><?php
if ( bbp_is_topic_anonymous() ) {
		echo "<br>Guest Post"; }
		elseif ( bbp_is_reply_anonymous() ) {
		echo "<br>Guest Post"; }
		else {
  $user_location = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Location', ( bbp_get_reply_author_id ( bbp_get_reply_id() ) ) );
   echo 'Location: ' . $user_location; }
?></div>

I just want to not display it if its not filled in on buddypress

Any Help?

Hello All !
I need to list the last 8 topics in this widgets, and have a link to the next page of 8 topics, and so on.It would be like a pagination for every 8 topics.
I think the file is widgets.php in lines :

case 'newness' :
default :
$topics_query = array(
'post_type' => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
'post_parent' => $settings['parent_forum'],
'posts_per_page' => (int) $settings['max_shown'],
'post_status' => array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id() ),
'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,
'no_found_rows' => true,
'order' => 'DESC'
);


I know that ‘posts_per_page’ show the last topics, in my case 8, but i dont know how to access to 8 before.

Any help or idea please?

Hi, I am using the latest versions of both WP and BBPress.

My problems are that when I try to add stuff to my style.css, my BBPress pages just don’t seem to follow them…

Here is an example:
>> Remove menu/nav bar and search form from all pages (style.css)

/* Remove nav bar and search form */
.page #nav-bar {
display: none;
}

.page #s {
display: none;
}

The code works on all other pages (BuddyPress ones included), just not any BBPress pages..
Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

I am no coder or expert so this has totally thrown me lol.

Hi,

first of all, thank you very much for the theme. I enjoy it but have one question.
Is it possible that I can connect the name, which a user has to enter, with the entered email address? So that a certain username can just belong to a certain e-mail address.
Hope it is comprehensible.
Thank for your help.

Hello,
My main forum page /forums does not display my forums. it just displays the name and then gives me this message

search for: Home › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness Currencies 1 1 7 minutes ago admin

when you click on it in he breadcrumbs i want it to just display my normal forum. any ideas why this could be happening to me?

Hello.

Revisions log in my posts is displayed twice. Don’t you know how to fix it? 🙂

im trying to put a function in loop-single-topic.php right after

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_started_by’ ); ?>

Replacing the whole (Started By: “user” in “forum” function)

Im trying to make the new function display as (Last Post “freshness time ago” By “User”)

I dont know anything about php and how to use it , right now im basically just looking at each function and see how it works.

The best i got right now is pretty much copy and pasted from the freshness column functions.

This is the best i have

<span class=”bbp-last-post-by-author”><?php printf( __( ‘Last Post %1$s’, ‘bbpress’ ), bbp_get_topic_freshness_link( array() ) ); ?></span>

I still need to display this

<?php bbp_author_link( array( ‘post_id’ =>bbp_get_topic_last_active_id()

but i dont know how to hook it all together, please help.
