Moving forums from one installation to another

Published on November 30th, 2021 by pelmoggian

Hi!

I have a straightforward question – how do I move the existing bbpress data (Forums, Topics, Replies) from one WordPress installation to another?

I see there is an ‘Export’ and ‘Import’ function in WordPress, where Forums, Topics and Replies can each be exported separately.

But – would importing them into a functioning website overwrite existing pages and posts?

Or is there something I am just missing in this whole process, and it is really just super easy, barely an inconvenience?

Hide “New Topic” Form on Certain Pages

Published on November 29th, 2021 by bradm413

bbPress Version 2.6.9
WP version 5.8.2
site: https://branchtheworld.com

I have searched and haven’t found an exact case like what I’m looking for. I would like to hide the “New Topic” form that displays when using this shortcode:

– Display a single forums topics. eg.

See screenshot here:

Is this something I’ll need to do with custom coding, or is there a plugin or another simple way to achieve this?

Published on November 29th, 2021 by eterasai

Morning,
I would like to know how i can report any post that contains spam or advertise link. I have encountered some topics created unrelated to the forum & they created topic only for adding a link. If there a way i can report them? Oh, and i’m talking about bbpress.org forum (the one i’m using now).

Post Not Being Fully Published

Published on November 28th, 2021 by kevb8lly

Hi

I have just installed bbPress. Things seem to be ok, except that someone posted something earlier and not all of his post is showing. When you edit the post you see it all, but when you save the post has the last couple of sentences missing.

I’m assuming there is a setting somewhere, but I can’t find it.

Forum Width

My forum is here:

https://www.thewargameswebsite.com/forums/

How do I make it wider?
I need to keep the sidebars, so if making the forum wider makes the whole site wider that is fine.

TIA

Best way to extend member profiles?

Published on November 26th, 2021 by tumptyteapot

Hi
I have a forum running through bbPress and a membership site running through Paid Memberships Pro. The site also has BuddyPress installed.

We would like members to be able to add social media links and more info to their public bios. I’m not sure the best way to do this – would it be through bbPress or BuddyPress or PMPro? It doesn’t seem to be an out of the box thing on any of these plugins.

I’m not clear what is doing what.

Any advice would be very gratefully received.

Can I get the latest reply ID by topic ID?

Published on November 25th, 2021 by gerryj

Hello,

does anyone know if I can get the latest reply ID from a topic with the topic id?
I already looked online, but haven’t really found a fitting function for this.
Something like bbp_get_latest_reply_by_topic_id($topic_id); would be perfect.
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Gerry Zeller

forum appears in google search

Published on November 24th, 2021 by gillian0606

The bbPress forum in my LifterLMS members only course site shows up from a google search of the url, which is https://gillianriley.com

This enables public access to all posts – very alarming for me to discover!

Is there anything that can be done to make my forum private?

bbPress 2.6.8
