My client already has a functioning news aggregation website, but no commenting is allowed. She’s wanting a private section where her readers can have private conversations that only they can see on certain topics or articles.

Her request below. Any thoughts or other ideas are greatly appreciated.

I’ve given enough thought to the idea of establishing an ‘Invitation Only’ comment section. Realizing comment sections on a blog are typically open to the public, I lack any and all desire to spend my day moderating nasty posters or blocking trolls etc. What I want to be able to achieve is a comment section that I don’t need to spend too much time managing but the blog benefits from. It’s the starting place, so to speak, to start building a community/readership to engage more with the blog, feature daily current political drama/events for folks to respond, and a place where the posters thoughts/comments remain private/behind a wall. No one but the posters and me see their comments.

Why would the short code for latest topics display the topics for some users but not for others?

Non-logged in users and subscriber/participant levels cannot see the Topics on the page where the shortcode is used – yet they can see everything fine when they go the actual Forums.

But I as admin can see the Topics fine when I visit the page where the shortcode is used.

WordPress 5.1.1
bbPress 2.5.14

I use a widget on my bbpress forum site for recent topis. It’s the standard bbpress widget. Before the topic title are 7 speech bubbles. I don’t know if it’s always seven, but it doesn’t look good and it has no real use. Can I change this to a emoji symbol, like fire, and maybe the number of replies to it? How can I find the right code?

Hello,
I have been using bbpress for my wordpress website. I have one question. Is there any way to block particular words such as “Thanks”, “congratulation”, “Great Work” etc. I don’t want to allow low effort replies in forum.

Waiting for your kind reply.

I’d like to show the newest topics, but only the ones, which have more than 3 replies. I haven’t found a shortcode or a filter for this, is it possible to set this up somehow?

thanks

Thanks

Hello bbPress team and users

I am currently setting up my first bbpress forum. I am using buddypress and gamipress (didnt set it up so far) too.

I use a widget on my bbpress forum site for recent topis. It’s the standard bbpress widget. Before the topic title are 7 speech bubbles. I don’t know if it’s always seven, but it doesn’t look good and it has no real use. Can I change this to a emoji symbol, like fire, and maybe the number of replies to it? How can I find the right code?

Another question somebody could maybe anwser. Can I show gamipress ranks and points below the avatar in postings or other informations from buddypress profiles, or any bbpress related informations?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day to the whole in community!

Is there a way to subscribe new members to a particular forum so that they are notified of all important announcements? Or is there an option to email all forum members?

I’m trying to import an old vBulletin (3.8.3) forum to a new bbPress (2.5.14) setupon WordPress 5.1.1 and the initial import looks great. It imports the users (~13k) says something about deleting their WordPress password, then a moment later it seems to hang and no matter how long I leave it we never progress.

Calculating forum hierarchy (0 - 99)
Converting forums (0 - 99)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (12700 - 12799)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (12600 - 12699)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (12500 - 12599)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (12400 - 12499)
Delete users WordPress default passwords (12300 - 12399)

Looking at the forum sections shows that it’s created the 22 forums and correctly set some of them as categories, they also show how many topics and replies are in each one correctly –

— Random Thoughts - Topics: 3,119 Replies: 54,698

But only 27 topics across the entire forum are imported. It’s the same 27 topics every time as well. To the point that if I stop the import, and hit the start button again, it imports these same 27 topics once more now showing 54. Is there an error log I can find that might show me why it’s hanging up? The bit above with the Calculating Hierarchy is the last update I ever get in the window. I added the lines to turn on debug logging in WordPress but nothing every shows up.

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); // turn on debug mode
if ( defined( 'WP_DEBUG' ) && WP_DEBUG ) {
	define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); // log to wp-content/debug.log
}
