Displaying new posts since last visit

Published on September 29th, 2017 by rick435

https://cholangiocarcinoma.org/db

We’ve ditched our old punbb board and some of our users miss the ability to view just the posts that have been posted since their last visit. That “New Posts” link was actually one of our most popular pages.

Are there any plugins available that could do that? I’ve spent awhile looking and it seems like a popular request for those of us from punbb and phpbb.

Confused – Am I missing something?

Published on September 29th, 2017 by paladinbrewer

Hello,

So I am new to wordpress and bbpress. For forum usage I am very used to phpbb3. I installed bbpress + buddypress because my wordpress theme supports it, but upon playing with it, it doesn’t feel like forums at all.

1) Why can’t I do a normal forum layout:

Category 1
Forum 1
Forum 1 description
Forum 2
Forum 2 description
Category 2
Etc

2) Where is the normal forum functionality? Signatures, Mark all as read, statistics, Who’s Online, etc

3) No usergroups or controls? How do I set private forums? Some forums I want people to read and reply, but not create new posts. I can’t do this?

4) It doesnt seem it even tells me which forum has new posts and which doesn’t? Maybe that’s a Theme issue?

So is bbpress actual forums or meant for something else? Or am I missing it all entirely?

Problems with bbPress translation

Published on September 29th, 2017 by roby80

Hi everybody, first post here! 😉

I hope somebody can help me, since I’m having problems with the translation of a new bbPress installation… It’s kind of strange actually, because it seems to translate only part of the strings, but if I check my .mo & .po files they’re fully translated, just how it should be.

I’ve been using WordPress for years but it’s the first time I used bbPress as well, so I followed these instructions religiously.
(I actually only had to change the directory in which I put the .mo & .po files to wp-content/languages/plugins, since putting them in wp-content/languages/bbpress/ – I had to create this folder to try – like written in the documentation won’t work. After that I tried to put them in every other “logic” place that came to mind with no success)

Here are a couple of screenshot to let me show my “half translated/half not” situation:
EDIT: img’s won’t work so here are the links

Thank you very much for any input!

Unable to add bbpress sidebar page template

Published on September 28th, 2017 by nanpress1

WP 4.8.2
Site is not yet live to public
Paid theme

Hi- I’m trying to create a bbpress sidebar template on the forum page. The sidebar works on the default page but it’s not optimal to have a bbpress sidebar on every page of the site. Therefore, I’d like a template just for bbpress.

I’ve searched the forums and have consulted used the bbpress documentation.
Here’s what I’ve done. Any input is appreciated.

I’ve created a bbpress specific sidebar using css and php in my child theme (using bbpress instructions)

I’ve populated the sidebar with widgets and saved it. However, when I go to page>templates there is no bbpress sidebar template to choose from.

To fix this, I went to the theme root page templates and copied ‘template-sidebar-left.php.’

Per the bbpress instructions, I renamed it bbpress.php and moved it the file to the theme folder. Now it’s wp-content/themes/%mytheme%/bbpress.php

This didn’t add a bbpress sidebar template. So I went into bbpress.php and changed
<div id=”primary” class=”container”>
to
<div id=”primary2″ class=”container2″>

No luck.

Also, I checked and there are no inactive sidebar widgets.

Still no luck. What am I doing wrong? What else can I try to get a bbpress template sidebar to appear?

Again, any insight is appreciated.
Thanks

Mark All Forums As Read

Published on September 27th, 2017 by rogerlridge

Does anyone know how to add a link to the main forum page which allows a user to mark all forums as read? I know there is the mark as read plugin but as far as I know it only works for topics not forums and I don’t know if it has a mark all as read function. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance people! 😀
