My goal is to create a login and registration for my forum. I go to wordpress admin page > Appearance > Widgets. Although, when I do this no “bbpress sidebar” is available to put widgets into it. What do I do?
bbpress sidebar problem
Published on September 23rd, 2017 by edwardtheunicornCheck if topic is sticky
Published on September 23rd, 2017 by rogerlridgeHello, does anybody know what hook, action, filter or anything I can use to check if a post is sticky? And then if the post is sticky, do something with that information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 😀
Importing from Rainmaker; Topics’ post_parent = 0
Published on September 23rd, 2017 by Mike CostanzoHi there!
I’m importing forums from Rainmaker into WordPress 4.8.2 and BBPress 2.5.14. On first glance, it looks like all has done well; a quick glance at a sample Forum, for example, tells me:
“This forum contains 74 topics and 698 replies.”
However, my Topics and Replies are not being “found” when a Forum is clicked on:
“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”
This appears to be because the post_parent in wp_posts for all these Topics and Replies is set to “0” in the database. And what’s worse, the “Repair” tools like “Recalculate the parent topic for each post” or “Recalculate the parent forum for each post” do not fix the problem; post_parent remains at value 0.
The only way I have found to populate a Topic with the correct post_parent value is to open that topic in the Editor and click Publish. But since I have hundreds of Topics and thousands of Replies, manually saving all these Posts is hardly a workable solution.
Does anyone know of a better way to solve this problem that doesn’t involve nearly infinite man-hours of drudgery and toil?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give. Long live BBPress!
URL is being parsed incorrectly
Published on September 23rd, 2017 by Bharat KaravadraHello,
I have had to add a space after the https:// to avoid the screen appearing
If you look at Peter Recks’ posts here:
https:// www.karavadra.net/forums/topic/header-image-formatting/
There are quotes with text ‘Reconsidering Study, Qualifications & Experience’ with a link to here:
1) https:// www.karavadra.net/reconsidering-study-qualifications-experience/
However, Peter has only put in a link in his post which is not to the link 1 above but to here:
2) https:// romancecalling.xyz/?page_id=35
When I look at the link in admin it appears correctly as link 2
Why is the link being changed from the 2nd to the 1st on the user side and the title of the page being added?
And more importantly how do I get it to appear as it as posted, namely link 2.
Note: no a hrefs or any other shortcodes for links are being used — only the URLs 1 and 2.
Thank you,
Bharat

Password Protect a Forum
Published on September 22nd, 2017 by vegascoug2I am working with a client who wants to password protect certain forums, they are already private and only visible to registered users, but she has some info that she does not want available to all registered users that is paid for so she wants to password protect the forum. This was possible before with older versions of bbPress as I’ve done it before.
We have found the Private Groups but that creates a lot of work to constantly be updating the people who should have access to it. Hoping to find a mod or plugin that will allow us to add passwords to the forums we need them so so that we can protect the data in those forums from people who do not have access to it, or shouldn’t.
I have searched on Google many times but keep ending up at Private Groups, anyone know of a way to do this?
Forum Menu Not Displaying for Users
Published on September 22nd, 2017 by lindsayk63Hello,
My forum menu item is displaying for the admin (me) but not for general users.
I am not having issues with any other menu item.
I am using a tech stack of Active Member 360 / Active Campaign / Buddy Boss Social Learner / BBPress / Learn Dash.
Here is a screen shot: https://cl.ly/2x121u3A1Y1K

Tagging/mentions don’t go to the forum post
Published on September 21st, 2017 by lovechardWe are using BuddyBoss for our membership site with bbPress integrated. When a member tags another member in the forums, it comes in their notifications with the link to view the mention. But, clicking on that takes them to the newsfeed/activity stream, not the forum post that they were tagged in. Any insight? BuddyBoss said this is a bbPress issue. Thank you so much!
