bbPress.org

I assume this is pretty standard, but on our forum site (http://nexus.universaltheosophy.com/), the bbpress “reply box” is located at the bottom of any given Topic post. So, when someone wants to reply, they need to scroll all the way down. Also, directly beneath each existing reply is a “reply button”. If someone wants to reply to an existing reply, they click this button…. but what happens is that the Topic post reloads in their browser and then they’re taken to the bottom of the Topic where the reply-box resides.

What we want, is this: when someone clicks reply, a reply-box appears directly beneath the existing reply they’re replying to (basically, how reddit works). I’ve seen at least one site that has managed to do this with some kind of customizing of bbpress, but nobody seems to want to share.

In order to see how the reply button on our site currently works, you can use our dummy-test-account to login (just please be respectful and don’t make me delete too much spam) UN: [redacted] PW: [redacted] And use this discussion to see how the reply function currently operates: http://nexus.universaltheosophy.com/groups/key-concepts-study-group/forum/topic/reincarnation/

Any help at all would be hugely appreciated. The current functionality really makes for a poor forum experience for our members.

Also, we’re currently running bbpress 2.5.10 and WordPress 4.6.1.

I want to add images to forum but I do not want to host them on my own site.
Is there a plugin that allows me to upload images via external hosting, like imagebam or photobucket?
So I when I press upload image that the files are automatically uploaded and stored externally?

Hi

I am planning to help a friend move over his forum from websitetoolbox.com to bbpress.

They allow CSV and MySQL exports.

Can you please assist me on how I should go about doing this move.

I know how to handle CSV files, even open phpAdmin but from there on I know just enough to break the system 🙂

If there is a tool or guide to assist me I will defiantly try it out.

Thanks

When I created the forum, I had the opportunity to write some text. This text appears in my snippet, but it does not appear on the page itself. I would like to have a space to include text under the title (“Job Postings”) to lay out the guidelines for the forum.

On a side-note, I would also like to eliminate the blue box summarizing the details of the forum.

WP 4.6 BBpress plugin 2.5.10
I am using some of the super BBpress code suggestions at https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ and most work just fine ‘out of the box’ but I am not sure what I should be putting in place of ‘ my_nav_menu_profile_link’ in this one. If I put in the code as is….

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_nicename ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">Edit Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
  
}

I get this when trying the menu link……
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

If I replace the ‘ my_nav_menu_profile_link’ with the actual link like this…..

/* Profile link in menu....................*/
// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/profile.php' );
function http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/profile.php($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_nicename ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">Edit Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
  
}

I get this as soon as I go to the site…

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’, expecting ‘(‘ in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\twentytenchild\functions.php on line 49
What should I be entering and when I move to a live site will it need to be further changed?

Hi,
If anyone creates a new topic within a forum, anyone signed up to that forum gets a notification email.
But when someone comments on an already existing topic, you don’t get a notification.
Is there a way to make sure email notifications work in both ways?
thx

There is an issue with the forum sorter view (Dashboard>Forums) where once you have more than 20 forums you can no longer move forums from page 2 to page 1, meaning that you can no longer effectively sort the display order of all of your forums. I think the solution to this should be pretty simple, you just need to be able to change the number of forums displayed on the page from the current default of 20 to higher numbers.

Please can you make this change?

When posting a topic, the “Topic Title (Maximum Length: 80)” is not enabled…IT IS FROZEN!
How do I enable it? Also how do I increase the text box for post description?

Thanks guys!

Hey folks,

I’m trying to move our forums from a multisite sub-site to the main site of the multisite install and am running into problems. Here’s what’s happening:

I’m able to export the forums, topics, and replies from the sub-site admin and import them into the main site using WP-CLI without any problems. After the import, if I look at Forums in the admin, everything is there and the counts for the topics and replies are correct, but when I run the repair tools, the topic and reply counts are set to 0, and none of the topics show that they’re in any forum and the topics also show 0 replies.

One thing that could possibly be causing some issues is that running “Recalculate the position of each reply” times out every time I run it. Also, since we have 450,000+ total users and ~13,000 forum users, the “Remap existing users to default forum roles” tool times out as well. I’m attempting to get around that by running a script that takes the user IDs of the 13,000 forum users and adds the bbp_participant role to them with WP-CLI in an attempt to get around the timeout.

Does anyone have ideas as to why the issue with the counts and topics would be happening? Is there a way for me to run the commands the tools page runs on the command line (whether via mysql or WP-CLI or whatever)?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
