Hi. I’m trying to show a logged in a user their topics/replies, which would be accomplished by showing their BuddyPress activity stream (since I’m using both). I see that this is supposed to be a feature, but my buddypress activity streams don’t show any bbpress activity. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

After a user deletes/trashes their own topic, it redirects to /?view-all, which comes back with a “No results found” Page. How would I fix this? Thanks!

Note: This is a followup to this post on getting a user to be able to edit/delete their own topics. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-close-topic-trash-etc-resolved

I’m just getting a new site up and running and I have some setup questions.

[1] I’ve created a page, called it ‘Register’, and put the shortcode

Create an Account

• Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.
• We use your email address to email you a secure password and verify your account.

Username:

Email:

Register

in it. When people visit the page, they can fill out their username and email address and click ‘register’, but after submitting the form there is no confirmation back to the user that anything actually happened. They simply see the form again. Is this the expected behavior?

[2] When a user is logged in, by default their account allows the ‘Toolbar’ when viewing the site. This is handy so they can edit their profile, logout, etc…. but there are also links to create a new topic or a new reply. This takes them to the wp-admin section of the site which feels strange. Is there a way to force people to only create new topics and replies from the “front-end” of the site?

[3] Along similar lines, people can create a ‘New Reply’ from this toolbar without even viewing a thread. What exactly are they creating a reply to?

[4] Right now all of the forums are marked as ‘Closed’. When viewing the site from the homepage everything looks good and users cannot create topics, replies, etc. However if they use the toolbar to go into the wp-admin section they can create new topics there. Is this a bug? Since all forums are ‘Closed’ the topic doesn’t get assigned a forum and doesn’t appear on the main site, but it is still there with “(No Forum)” assigned.

Hello Everyone,

I really want to find a good theme that works with bbpress, that has a sidebar. I want to create a website that has a forum component, with a sidebar for various things. I also want to add advertising (aka Adsense) as a form of revenue, at least to make the site pay for it’s costs.

I have already created 1 website with bbpress, talkbeautyskincare.com and for some reason, sidebar displays below the main content, this is after I added the bbpress files into a child-theme. I just want to know my best bet to tackling this, because I would like to start a community that could help each other out on my ideas.

Thanks so much for your help

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for creating this plugin. The possibilities with it are only limited by a persons skill with php, and of course, their imagination.

Using this plugin, and attempting to build a website around it has dramatically increased my understanding of WordPress, PHP, and everything in between. Before I started tinkering around with this thing I didn’t even know what an array was, nor did I have the slightest understanding of loops, queries, actions, or functions. If I needed something on my website, I used plugins, which often slowed everything down quite a bit and created a ton of conflicts. Now I’m not only designing the website I wanted, but I’m understanding it’s architecture.

Though I am a long way from finishing it, I feel like I actually have the ability complete it on my own, which never would have happened without this plugin.

So thank you again to the creators of bbpress, you truly are the last surviving Jedi Masters of wordpress.

I’m new to bbPress and I am testing it right now to see if it is a good replacement candiate for a phpbb forum I own.

I’ve set up version 2.0.2 on WP 3.3.

I’ve ‘done’ the extensive installation video on YT, which was very helpful.

Although I really appreciate the cleanliness of bbPress, my forum members really need a few addtional features, like bbCode and PM’s.

I found both plugins, but they claim not to be compatible with bbPress 2.x

Also they’re referring to an installation system I don’t get, where is ppPress ‘myplugins’ directory located?? I cannot seem to find this folder, where should it be?

Thanks for helping me out! (and a version compatible indicator in the plugin section of this site would be very helpful for beginners like me!)

Hi,

I just noticed that the url removes the forum name when in the topic url.

Is there any way to add the forum name?

example:

url1: https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/requests-and-feedback

url2: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/anyone-use-bbpress-for-role-playing-games-rpg

Can the “topic” of url2 automatically changed to “request-and-feedback” so the final url reads: url2: https://bbpress.org/forums/requests-and-feedback/anyone-use-bbpress-for-role-playing-games-rpg

Thanks

It would really make the topics a lot more interactive if people could reply to replies within a topic. Buddypress has this functionality for comments to a post and that what I’d like to integrate into the topic reply stream. Can we find a solution for doing this?

With the bbPress 2.0.2 plugin, I can start topics with empty titles if I just fill it with spaces. This leads to inaccessible topics that can’t be clicked, viewed, or moderated in any sane way.

I ask you change line 176 in bbp-topic-functions.php to something like:

// No topic title

if ( empty( $topic_title ) || strlen(trim( $topic_title )) == 0)

Thanks

Hi BBpress.

First, all my posts about closing topics, never got answered by any. Please share!

I found a solution, so i share it.

You can let users close their topics for reply, remove their topics (trash) edit and so on. With bbpress 2.0.2 and User Role editor.

All new users are subscribers -> In User Role Editor mark these fields:

assign_topic_tags

delete_others_topics

delete_topic_tags

delete_topics

moderate

edit_replies

edit_topics

publish_replies

publish_topics

read

Now they are capable to do it! And they cannot /edit/delete/close other topics – only there own.

The “spam” field is still visible – But it is possible to remove it from the .php files somewhere (Notepad++ and Search all files does the magic of finding it!)

Thats all
