Hello,

is there any way to just get the subscriber link of a topic?
I am currently building a custom topic overview and I want people to be able to subscribe to topics directly from the overview.

Something like “$subscribe_link = bbp_get_user_subscribe_link($topic_id);” would be perfect.
I already looked online and found this: https://www.buddyboss.com/resources/reference/functions/bbp_get_user_subscribe_link/
But I tried this function and it never returns anything for me.
Maybe I am misunderstanding the purpose of the function or just using it incorrectly.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I want to search forum (topics and replies) by user name.

I add input with name “bbp_search_by_user”

<input type="text" name="bbp_search_by_user" id="bbp_search_by_user" value="" />

in form-search.php

but how can I get value of “bbp_search_by_user” in my custom function file since $_GET[‘bbp_search_by_user’] doesn’t show anything?

Thanks

Is there a guide to migrate a forum from Simplepress to bbPress?

I think this post belongs in the “Development” forum, but that forum has a message saying that it’s closed to new posts. Let me know if there’s a better place for my question.

I’m trying to create a navigation sidebar for users to navigate my bbPress forum. I’ve seen WordPress themes with a navigation sidebar for blog posts which has a list of months and years, as in:

August 2021
September 2021
October 2021

And clicking any of those list items will show the user any blog posts created in the given month. This is what I’d like to emulate with bbPress — a sidebar with links to different months, and clicking the link will show the user all forum topics created in that month.

Does anyone have advice on how to do this? I’ve looked through the bbPress settings and even installed the bbp style pack plugin, but I can’t find a setting that will do what I’m trying to do. Is there a plugin or setting that I’ve missed? I don’t mind writing code to solve this problem, but I’m a PHP beginner so I’m not sure where to begin.

I’m using WordPress 5.7.2 and bbPress 2.6.6. I don’t have a live version of my site to show.

Hi,

I am trying to customize the registration email for BBpress. Is there an easy way to do this?
Looking through this forum, I understand the email is generate by the WordPress Core.

Is there a plugin? I’d just like to redirect people to the actual forums, and not our site’s homepage.

TIA–

Hello there,

I look for a shortcode that would allow me to display to the user the number of unread topic in his subscription (or at least, if there is any unread topic there).

I have looked for it for a long time and couldn’t find anything suiting my needs or functional.

Does anymone have an idea or solution to this need ?

(My aim : without using buddypress, display a “user notification bell” on my menu with an indication to the user when unread topics are available… Pretty classic use case, but not so easy to find 😅 )

Thank you for your help or clues 🙏

Why no more updates?

If there are thousands of forums using this platform why does it feels like it’s abandoned?

Bbpress is good but not perfect, there are a lot of things that can be improved and we have no news for a new release.

Hi Folks,

Our BBpress forum author page (example) is not set within a container, it is 100% width.

Additionally, it is not using the Divi Theme builder global header and global footer, nor is it responding to Divi Theme Options > Custom CSS.

Help appreciated.

How can I edit the background color of sticky threads in a forum? I cannot find the current/default color in my style.css file or anywhere else so far.

Thanks!
