Hello everyone,

I am developing my first website and I’m having an issue with the permalinks. My forum page is listed as mydomain.com/boards (It’s a messaging board site), but when you click on something in the forums, it changes to mydomain.com/forums/forum/examplepage/. Is there a way to change the permalink system to reflect that they are under boards?

Hi,

I’m struggling here . It’s a crucial part of my forum structure to be able to allow non-logged in users to click into a forum and view the list of topics, but not be allowed to click into a topic to read them. This is because the content of those topics are for subscribed members only, but allowing that top-level view of the topic titles is a way of teasing non-logged in viewers to sign up.

I’d like to be able to do the same for logged in users of specific forums.

I’m still not understanding why bbpress does not allow this breakdown of different levels of viewing. Is it a structural thing where topics and replies are actually WP posts and can’t be differentiated? I’m interested to know what the coding implications are of allowing topic title view but blocking topic content view.

Perhaps another way of asking this is this:

How do I make all top level forums (i.e. the forum list) public, make all forums clickable to anyone so that the topic lists can be viewed, then restrict what topics are clickable depending on whether they are logged in as well as their logged-in capabilities?

Hi, I couldn’t find this using search but I am sure someone has done this before.
We have our own web-based software that users register/login to. We would like them to seamlessly be able to also go to forums to get support using bbpress (we are on version 2.5.14).
Is there an API that I can call when a user registers on our product website?
If they are logged in to our product and click on SUPPORT/Forums, how do I go about having them automatically logged in?

And my last question is if I can create new topics and replies to them with custom dates/times? For example, I want to create a new post with a date of a week ago, and then reply with a date from 6 days ago?

If that’s not possible, perhaps there is an ability to import posts from excel where I could have different date/times?

Your help is much appreciated.

I’ve been using SMF for a while and I’m trying to transition to bbpress. One of the plugins I liked to use in SMF simply helped to hide outgoing links by replacing the URL with something like:

“To check this link, please register or login first”

Has anyone found anything that can do a similar function in bbpress?

This thing made 10 years ago, is the most approximate thing I’ve found so far

Hide Links

Maybe I can capitalize on that and rewrite something more adequate. Or maybe have build something more advanced in the past decade.

It is possible to disable editing of a post after a while for regular users? For example after 1 hour edits are blocked.

I’ve been thoroughly looking for a plugin or a thread that comments on this, but I can’t seem to find a source that gives me enough insight about this topic

Is there any mechanism to show related threads in the bottom of a forum post? For example, in a forum about mobile phones, if there is a topic about “how to change the background in samsung s10”, in the bottom a list of threads that talk about “changing the background”.

I have a database in Rainmaker that has bbpress records I am developing a new wordpress website. I need to move the forums, topics and replies out of Rainmaker into the new wordpress mysql database. I tried the import/export function but there are over 500 authors and the records don’t match up. Does the Forum function under tools allow you to move from one bbpress to another. The only option I saw was bbpress1.

Can someone else confirm that importing a post where the content contains brackets [] causes the custom importer to hang (get stuck actually)?

Hello all,

I am using BuddyPress with bbPress and I am noticing an issue when I have a forum topic with multiple pages. When I add a new reply it creates a BuddyPress activity that stores in the DB a primary_link of the type /forums/topic/topic-name/page/XX/#post-YYYY. For example /forums/topic/test-notification-for-reply/page/2/#post-3063

The problem is that if I delete some previous replies from page 1 and this reply moves to the first page from the second page it was previously, its activity permalink (primary_link) remains the same and the activity still points to page 2 of the topic (not page 1 that is its new page).

Is there any fix for this?
