bbPress.org

I really searched Google and the forum to try to find the answer but I just can’t come up with it. I have a brand new install of BBPress. I’ve never used it before. (I’m using version 2.2.3.) I’m using Wordress version 3.5.

I went over the roles here:

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

It says participants can create and edit their own topics and replies. On my forums participants cannot create topics at all. I don’t want to bump them up to moderator because I don’t want everyone to be able to edit everything.

I’m hoping there is a simple fix for this or someone can please tell me what I’m doing wrong. 🙁

Hi,
I am using the latest version of bbpress.

When I post youtube videos using the embed code (iframe) in a bbpress post, the video does not fit within the width of the textbox.

How can I make the youtube video responsive so that it always fits within the post and resizes itself with the correct aspect ratio?

On my website http://www.amsterdamsehonden.nl/?topic=voorbeeldtopic I’ve installed bbpress. it took a while, especially getting the forums to be full width. I think everything is working now, apart from one little issue. The bbpress breadcrumbs aren’t right.

It says: Een Hond Thuis › Forums › Gezocht › Voorbeeldtopic
While ‘Een Hond Thuis’ is just a random page on my website. It shouldn’t be there in the breadcrumbs.

Can anyone help me with that?

Hello everyone,

as per subject I think I might have found an issue with the topics pagination.

Here are my steps to reproduce:

1) Install the bbpress plugin
2) Create a few topics, enough to have some topics pages to test. For my example I have 48 topics.
3) Go to the forum settings admin page and set the number of topics per page to a low number. I set it to 5
4) Go to the wordpress reading settings admin page and make sure that the “Blog pages show at most” number is *lower* than the topics per page number you defined during step (3). In my case, I set it to 10.
5) Finally, reach the forum topics page, e.g. http://yourwebsite.com/topics (url may vary depending on your forum settings), and start browsing page after page

When I follow these steps using the specific numbers I mentioned, as soon as I reach http://mywebsite.com/topics/page/6 wordpress loads the 404.php template.

As far as I can tell, this is what happened:

1) Up to page 5, everything was good: I saw the right topics and the right number of them per page (i.e. 5)
2) Under the hood, on the other hand, WordPress was paginating using the “Blog pages show at most” number as reference.

Proof of point (2) is that I had 48 topics, which at 10 items per page would give you 5 pages. And WordPress returned the 404.php template on page 6.
When “Blog pages show at most” is equal or smaller than “topics per page”, this issue does not present itself.

If this is in fact a bug, I guess it could have gone uncaught because there’s hardly anyone around who would display less topics per page in their forum than posts per page in their blog.
In case nobody else manages to reproduce this, I’d be happy to share more details about my setup, although it is pretty basic.

Thanks.

Hi, guys.

I need forums titles list with topics on my forums frontpage. How can i do that? What is the right way?

I have add next lines, and all topics are shown for each of forums. I need each forum have only it’s own topics. I know that i can use BB_query or even WP_Query but i can’t figure it out. System says that i have “Fatal error: Class ‘BB_Query’ not found in X:\home\vkk.ca\www\wp-content\themes\themeName\loop-single-forum-custom.php”

if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : 
bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics-custom' ); 
endif;

PS: it’s bad that i should enter username only instead email or username.

We’ve had a request to reorder the way a topic’s page displays, such that the original topic post would be at top, but then the subsequent replies would be below that post in newest->oldest order.

I’ve seen snippets that filter bbp_has_replies_query() and change the ‘order’ parameter, and this works nicely for getting the order to newest->oldest. However, it ALSO throws the original topic at the very bottom of the order. We want the topic post first.

Any ideas?

As a bbPress newbie, I hope it is appropriate to post this here.

I would like to offer a massive thank you for SimplePress5.php

It converted my 10,000+ post Simple:Press forum. I copied the import routine database settings from my wp-config.php., and I then completed all the Repair jobs as per instructions. I can confirm it works perfectly on Simple:Press 5.1.1, and with redirects in .htaccess, the search engines have no problem finding the old content.

I’m now looking forward to doing some support on a working forum, rather than twisting through hoops to keep the old forum alive.

Hi All,

I have installed both the site wide and group forums following the steps from the link below

https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/.

I have forums in both site wide forums and group forums but I only see group forums under the forum tab in the profile page, but i want to see details of both group and site wide forum under it. This may have happened because of the step where we select “group forum” page as the discussion forum while installing both site wide and group forums.

Taking the above fact into consideration I tried to change the discussion forum page from “Group Forums” to “Forums”, but this didnt change the details under the forum tab in the profile page.

Any help will be highly appreciated

Thanks in Advance.

Not sure if this is by design or bug, but the function `bbp_forum_query_subforum_ids()` uses `bbp_get_public_child_ids()` instead of` bbp_get_all_child_ids()` to get the subforum count.

This means that if there are private subforums they are not displayed.

Bug or by design?

I set the permalink rule for Forum as below.
http://xxxxxxx.jp/forum/%post_id%/

However,when log in as Subscriber/Contributor, the permalink rule isn’t reflected
but default setting(/%postname%/) is reflected…

On the other hand, when log in as Admin, the permalink rule is reflected normally.

Could you tell me why this happens?
