Hi,

I discovered that (replies) pagination printed inside each topic on topic list does not work if the replies counts more than 1000 entries. This is due to the use of

$total = bbp_get_topic_reply_count( $topic_id );

on function

bbp_get_topic_pagination()

on bb-topic-template.php. The total from bbp_get_topic_reply_count is returned as a formatted number, for example 1,449 and passing this value to the core WordPress paginate_links() from general-template.php leads to empty page list.

The bbp_get_topic_reply_count() should accept a second parameter to stop the formatting.

Version in use: bbPress 2.1.2.

Have a nice day, Stefano Lissa.

Hi, I get a lot of spam comments on my new blog. As the admin, I’ve been moderating each one and spamming it. What can I do to stop it from happening in the first place? Thanks for your help!

Hi all

My first time using bbpress, so please be patient 🙂

I´m using bbpress plugin (last + WP last)
I´d like to prevent my registered users to access the dashboard. On my test install i had no look. After login users get the WP Toolbar at the top with the dashboard access, but looking to this site i´ve realised that you´re using my dream toolbar: users can only edit their profiles and post new topics via the frontend.

Is that a native function and i loose something? How can I achieve that?

I´ve read also a thread regarding the possibility of users upload their avatars via the frontend but in case of using jetpack with gravatars on i guess i´l be ok, isn´t it?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello all. I am a complete newbie here so plz excuse me if I ask a totally naive question.

We have a test wordpress 3.4.2 multisite/subfolders:
http://multiroot.com, http://multiroot.com/site01, http://multiroot.com/site02, etc
The live site will also be using mapped domains: http://client01.com, http://client02.com etc

The multisite will be packed with plugins, themes and hopefully sites, 🙂
So, we want to have the bbpress v2.1.2 installed in a subdomain (separate single wordpress site) on a db of its own, handling all the bbpress plugins and themes. http://bbpress.multiroot.com

The question is this: Can we have users that log (in/out) to their sites be automatically logged (in/out) the bbpress forums as well and vice-versa?

If yes, how can we do it and what possible plugins (maybe) to use to synchronize this kind of behavior between the two databases?

Bonus question. After logging in could they create forum/s that can be linked to their sites -mapped or non mapped? (I don’t even know if this “sounds” right).

Thank you in advance,

I, like most people using BBpress, have had an issue removing the sidebar from my new BBpress forums. I tried editing template files, adding files into my theme’s root, commenting our sidebar commands and whatever else has been recommended on these forums. Not to say those don’t work – I just couldn’t figure them out which is most likely due to my complete lack of php knowledge. I’m posting this for those of you like me, who have no idea how to do those fancy things.

Here’s how I removed my sidebar:

First, I copied over the CSS folder from my BBpress plugin folder /bbp-theme-compat to my theme’s root folder. (From your server root it should be wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/)

Then, I found the CSS class my theme was using to design the main content of my wordpress blog (should be a style.css file in your theme’s folder). Mine happened to be #main_content. Next, I found the the sidebar CSS in my theme’s style.css file which was simply #sidebar.

Note: I found the CSS class by right clicking the main content area of my website (where posts show) and selecting “Inspect Element”.

After finding those I created BBpress specific classes and pasted those into the bbpress.css file now located at {you_theme’s_root}/CSS/bbpress.css.

Here’s what I pasted in:

.bbPress #sidebar { 
width: 0px;
display:none; }

.bbPress #main-content { width: 940px; !important } 

Most likely you won’t need the sidebar’s width attribute but I added it in just in case.

And finally, after hours of trying to figure this out I went to my BBress forums page to discover that the forums fit perfectly into my theme without any sign of a sidebar.

I hope this helps!

I’m trying to do an import from custom forum software. At this point I’ve already imported the users via a separate plugin. And I’ve already created the topics. All I need to do is import topics, posts, and replies.

It looks like all the data for topics, posts, and replies are stored in the wp_5_posts table (I’m using multisite). However, there looks to be a lot of stuff loaded in the postmeta table as well. If I import things directly into wp_5_posts and ignore postmeta, then run the database jobs, will it create the post meta data?

I was going to use Example.php to import but that also tries to import users, tags, etc. which I don’t have… I only have topics, posts, and replies to import.

Any help would be appreciated!

I’m new to bbPress, using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbPress 2.1.2. What I’d like to know is how I can add metadata to each forum. For example, I want to show a description for a forum in the forums list. Is there a way to enable this with bbPress, or a plugin that does it?

Any idea when the theme directory might be back in business?

In the meantime, is there somewhere one can search for such things? I tried bbpress in the wordpress.org theme directory but that didn’t throw up very much.

I converted my Xenforo forums (no mods in the xenforo) to Invision Power Board, then tried to convert them to bbPress but I’m getting an error while converting and it stops. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
