In our forum we’re having issues where the “Recently Active Topics: section shows an auto-spammed post as the most recent reply. Should these akismet spammed posts end up in the topic listing?

I’m a newbie with code and web implementation, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. My readers have reported the following: “I’ve been trying to be able to post on your forum. I have a wordpress account, which I use to try to log in. After that it takes me to a jetpack and wordpress site, which Makes me put in my info again. But when I do, it then it takes me back to the original jetpack/wordpress page.”

Here is the forum:

And yet they can make comments on my site with ease:

I installed bbPress using this slug:

What am I missing? Thanks ahead!

I’m guessing the answer is no, but I’m wondering if anyone knows of a plugin, etc, that would give users a notification on the website that they had a reply to one of their replies. This is a fairly common feature of internet forums. From what I can tell bbPress only has the posibility for email notifications. Personally I like email, but for the project I’m working on now, they aren’t a good communication method.

I’ve looked through the plugin repository and haven’t found anything. It seems like this is something more along the lines of BuddyPress, but I wanted to ask here before I go down that rabbit hole. I really don’t want any of the social aspects of BP, so if that was the only solution I would have to end up disabling most of the features (which would be fine if it got me what I needed).

As an aside, I wanted to acknowledge all the folks who are continuously active on this forum and work to support the project. I imagine there is lots of traffic from users like me who are trying to get things setup for their specific project and need to make lots of requests for features that just aren’t a part of the core plugin and likely never will be. But without the support of the core forum members, there would be little success with the plugin at all. So thank you!

Hi there,
I am using a plugin that displays my forum statistics, and after talking to the developer about a translation that is not showing as expected, he replied “My plugin get’s roles from bbPress, it has no influence on the translations for them, and if the bbPress function sends them without translation, there is not much I can do about it.”
Does anyone have any idea how bbpress can “send a function WITH translation”?
My regards,
Ludovic

Hi,

I’ve installed bbpress and made myself Keymaster.

When I start forums, topics and reply, however, my email is being shown, not my username.

This doesn’t seem to be the case with other people who have registered and posted.

Is this typical and can this be changed so my username shows up?

Hey!

I am kinda new to WordPress and have no experience with coding, but I would like to adjust some details of the forum. Is there a plugin for listed demands? Thank you very much!

1) I would like to change typography of forum and topic title.
2) I want to hide “create new topic widget into spoiler or another eye pleasable format
3) I want to enable replying to individual comments, as in the second picture

PS: I know these might be very trivial questions, but I am total newbie.

How can I restrict all forum content to members only?
I know that this is an oft-discussed topic, but I have yet to find a satisfactory solution.

I want to have a website that has public content and a private forum.
All posts and pages will be private – except for all forum content.

‘bbPress Members Only’is a great and mature solution, but it bars access to all posts and pages except for a few defaults.

Many membership plugins exist, including free ones. I could use one of those, but they not designed for this specific purpose. As such they require configuration for this specific case. This could work, but there are risks to privacy when configuring and updating a general-purpose plugin.

I found a plugin (sorry, can’t remember the name) that does most of what I want, but it leaves topic archives exposed. I think the point of that was that it allows a forum to advertise its content. This is the opposite of what I want.

The approach that I’m about to experiment with will be a programmatic one:
In PHP I will parse the URL. If the URL contains the string ‘forums’, then I’ll redirect the request to a gatekeeping page.

In the meantime, if anyone can tell me about an approach or a plugin that I’ve missed, then please let me know.

WP 5.8.1 bbPress 2.6.6

Can the bbPress Forum 2.6.6 version be used with Elementor and or does it have a shortcode so that we can embed the forum onto an existing page.

Thanks

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could suggest how I might change the sidebar when a topic is opened. Unlike the forum post which has a ‘forum’ sidebar, when topics are opened the sidebar reverts to the default.

Thank you

Hi there 👋
I followed this step by step guide
👉 https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#3-%c2%a0creating-a-forum-page

And I’m annoyed with one quirk that I can’t seem to resolve: My borders aren’t showing!
With method # 1 my borders disappear and with method # 2 everything is normal.
How can I fix this please?

My regards,
Ludovic
