Good day, I’d like to find out from you if is is possible to parse the glossary terms that come up in the heading of my forum. In other words, I do not want the words that are linked to my CM Tooltip plugin to be highlighted in the headings of my forum topics so I need to wrap the term in [glossary_exclude] [/glossary_exclude] within the template.

For examples of what I mean, see the headings in the links to these topics:
http://www.pdsnet.co.za/index.php/forums/forum/investment-advice/ – the word “investment” is highlighted
http://www.pdsnet.co.za/index.php/forums/topic/elimination-of-the-bears/ – the word “bears” is highlighted

WordPress Version 4.5.3, bbPress Version 2.5.10

Thank you

I like to know how to only show title but not content of the forum for certain users, basic idea is that, only subscriber can see content, but all the visitor (not register on website) can see the topic, I get some idea of install the BBP subscription management, BBP toolkit, and members, BBP private group, but no single tutorial to show me from the beginning to the end, after try it by myself, I still can not hide the content for visitor, on the other hand, I do not want to hide the whole forum for visitor.
Anybody has the experience, please share it with us, thank you.

Hi,

I have recently installed BBPress for WordPress. When I create a new topics I can see the counter for topics & posts gets updated, but the topics do not show up under the forums. I can see the topics in my wp-admin area or when I make them sticky.

no experience with wordpress or bbpress but it looked great so i installed it… next up was an attempt to “import” my phpbb data to bbpress using the dashboard import tool but, sadly, a phpbb install plugin was not among those listed in the dashboard so i had to search the plugins directory… not knowing which one was best, i blindly chose the “CMS2CMS: phpBB to bbPress Forum Convertor” and began the migration process.. well surprise, surprise, shortly after the program began the migration a popup window reared its ugly head asking for $38 in order to complete a full migration… what the f is that all about? so is the wordpress life? wordpress plugin life? plugins are listed with no indication that they cost x amount of dollars until after you install the thing and try to use it? what sort of nonsense is that? how does this practice fly with wordpress? it’s enough to send a prospective wordpress user running in the direction of other alternatives, good grief…

i’m having a bit of a tough time understanding the wordpress flow and my exact needs in order to setup a standalone wordpress-based forum…..

– do i need both bbpress and buddypress?
– assuming i don’t “need” both, is it advantageous to have both?
– do i need a wordpress page? i thought this was the case, so i registered and signed up for an annual wordpress account.. now that i’ve installed bbpress, it appears that i don’t actually need a wordpress page or an annual account, is this correct?
– how do i import a phpbb 3.1 forum into wordpress? i read the tutorial but a phpbb import tool isn’t included among the other import tools…

my goal is to set up a phpbb-type forum/discussion, i’m not interested a wordpress blog or the like, just a discussion board. is this something i can achieve with bbpress, bbbuddy, the combo of both? or for a standalone forum is phpbb actually recommended over a wordpress-based option? thank you for your time.

Hi!

We’re migrating from IPB to Buddypress/bbpress and now I’ve got some questions. With IPB we had the possibility to attach different rights to certain topics/forums. For example: we got a crew-forum, with all kind of topics in it. These topics and forum are only visible for crewmembers, ‘normal’ members can’t see this topics. Is there a way to manage this in Buddypress? Maybe with a plugin or something?

Thank you very much!

I found this plugin that takes all the usernames that are commented on a post and makes the link go to a different page. I’m trying to make it call the bbp_user_profile_url. This way, when the link of a user is clicked on from the comments it goes to the users bbpress profile.

My PHP is a little rusty, so I deliberately coded this wrong hoping someone can see what I’m trying to accomplish. My code modifications are at the very end.

if ( ! function_exists( 't5_comment_uri_to_author_archive' ) )
{
    add_filter( 'get_comment_author_url', 't5_comment_uri_to_author_archive' );

    function t5_comment_uri_to_author_archive( $uri )
    {
        global $comment;

        // We do not get the real comment with this filter.
        if ( empty ( $comment )
            or ! is_object( $comment )
            or empty ( $comment->comment_author_email )
            or ! $user = get_user_by( 'email', $comment->comment_author_email )
        )
        {
            return $uri;
        }

        return <a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>" ></a>( $user->ID );
    }
}

Hi,

Thanks for such a well thought out plug-in and this forum. I am a *total* newbie at this… and this seems totally confounding to me. Your help will be appreciated.

Apparently when I enable bbpress, it adds an option for the user to delete themselves off of the right hand menu, with Settings etc.

This plug-in is being proposed to be used in a wp-based intranet.

See, we don’t want the users to annihilate themselves. So it seems like a bug, not a feature, if I can’t disable it.

Thanks

Need help… I need the name, email, and web site fields to always display in the “Create New Topic” entry. When my customers login to WordPress it automatically removes those field. We have multiple people using one WordPress login and I need them to be able to post using their name and email.

I’ve read a lot of the documentation and posts on this, but it unfortunately is not sinking into my skull. From what I can tell, there are basically three pages to the standard bbPress installation & usage: Forum Index page, Forum page, and Topic page. I saw something referring to the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress folder, available after installing bbPress. How do I know which of these files to copy/modify, and to which file name should I copy it? Any help or insight you might be able to offer would be appreciated. I am completely lost on this.
