bbPress.org

I want to translate the forum into 3 languages, how should I do this?

I have installed bbPress plugin on my WordPress site. I just wanted to know if there is any moderator approval option is available. I want Topics and Replies get visible only when they are approved by Administrator.

EN(English) and TC (Traditional Chinese) . Forum and topics seems to be working properly during the translation. But when it come to the replies section, I tried translating and it saves properly, but upon visiting the replies for the translated language TC the reply being translated cannot be seen. it says it is done translating to TC but the post reply cannot be seen. Is this a bug?

Why can’t bbpress have it’s own table to store posts etc? This will speed up db queries when using post tracking etc.
bbpress is very barebone but not very powerfull. There are plugins that extend the functionality but because of bbpress architecture it will not scale well.
Everything is stored in postmeta which grow very large. I have hundred of thousands of posts and for every post there is 10 entries in the postmeta table.

I think if bbpress can have a “normal” way of storing it’s information it will attract more users and more developers. Dedicated forum systems like Xenforo etc are superior but they are lacking everything else that you want to have on your site. There are bridges etc but it will never be the same.

There are other forums for wordpress like wpForo and Asgaros but they don’t really cut it at the moment.

Let’s bring bbPress alive by giving it a new fresh db table layout!!!

Hi there

Something seems up with my forum. Users keep getting an HTTP 500 error when trying to post something. Is this an issue from my side?

Thanks!

Greetings,

I am looking for the pro version of the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-user-ranks-lite/ which allows the ability for me to have role based badges below certain members on my forums however both the author’s website and the codecanyon posts of this plugin have been disabled so I am unable to get this plugin, if anyone has a copy they can send me or somewhere I can buy it I will be greatful.

On my site I am the only one that can create a new topic (anyone can reply) I am trying to introduce a couple of pieces of text that will be added to the end of the content of each reply. (they are twitter names and twitter hashtags).

I have found this piece of code that allows me to add some input fields to a new topic but it only works at the front end, I have been trying with no luck to find a hook I can use to get this to work on the back end. Can any one help please ?

add_action ( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_form_content’, ‘bbp_extra_fields’);
function bbp_extra_fields() {
$value = get_post_meta( bbp_get_topic_id(), ‘bbp_extra_field1’, true);
echo ‘<label for=”bbp_extra_field1″>hashtag</label><br>’;
echo “<input type=’text’ name=’bbp_extra_field1′ value='”.$value.”<br>’>”;
$value = get_post_meta( bbp_get_topic_id(), ‘bbp_extra_field2’, true);
echo ‘<br><label for=”bbp_extra_field2″>Twitter Name</label><br>’;
echo “<input type=’text’ name=’bbp_extra_field2′ value='”.$value.”‘>”;
}
/* Write out to meta table */
add_action ( ‘bbp_new_topic’, ‘bbp_save_extra_fields’, 10, 1 );
add_action ( ‘bbp_edit_topic’, ‘bbp_save_extra_fields’, 10, 1 );
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
function bbp_save_extra_fields($topic_id) {
if (isset($_POST) && $_POST[‘bbp_extra_field1’]!=”)
update_post_meta( $topic_id, ‘bbp_extra_field1’, $_POST[‘bbp_extra_field1’] );
if (isset($_POST) && $_POST[‘bbp_extra_field2’]!=”)
update_post_meta( $topic_id, ‘bbp_extra_field2’, $_POST[‘bbp_extra_field2’] );
}

How can I code an activity stream that lists only the most recent post for each topic, not all recent posts (which can include many posts from the same topic) as the standard widget does?

I’m using bbPress 2.5.14, BuddyPress 3.20 and WordPress 4.9.8 on a local dev server so no public link to the site.

I’m trying to write a conditional statement to auto tag new topics based on forum.

This is what I have so far

add_action ( 'bbp_insert_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post' , 10, 1 );
add_action ( 'bbp_new_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post', 10, 1 );
add_action ( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post', 10, 1 );

function myprefix_assign_tag_to_post($topic_id) {
if( bbp_is_forum ( '168' ) && bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) {
	wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, 'introductions', 'topic-tag', true );
}

elseif( bbp_is_forum ( '1343' ) && bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) {
		wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, 'discovery', 'topic-tag', true );

}
}

The problem is, this automatically tags the new topics with “Introductions” regardless of the forum. I tried replacing ‘bbp_is_forum’ with ‘bbp_is_single_forum’, and the same thing happens. I’ve tried replacing it with ‘bbp_is_forum_archive’ and nothing happens. I’ve even tried replacing the ID with slug, with and without the single quotes, trying it with just one IF statement, and I’m not getting the desired results.

I also tried using is_page, hoping it would be using the default WordPress call since it used in the functions.php for topics. No joy.

So, if someone could please tell me what I should be using instead of is_forum, is_single_forum, is_etc, that would be great.

Just like if I click ‘link’ here, users can see other content links. How do I turn off that feature for my users, or do I have to remove the link button (and if so, how do I do that?)

Thanks,
