bbPress.org

I have a custom wp role that I have displaying under each user author link in all replies. There are different custom roles depending on the user. I was able to use it by implementing this snippet (inserted on loop-single-reply.php):

<?php
$user = new WP_User( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
echo $user->roles[0];
?>

My question is how to get some text (with link) to show if a user has a specific custom role. For example, is user has “Graduate” role, I need a link with text to show under the role, in all the replies for all users.

I’m not coder by any means, but I realize it will probably take a php “if” statement. Any suggestions on how I might accomplish this? Thanks for any help.

I was curious if there is any plug-in or method available to automatically create posts in bbPress.
The topics should be generated based on a new article posted on an external site.

Is there a way to populate my forum with new topics based data from my scraper, output from this scraper could be e-mail or data SQL?

I created a Forums page, but I don’t know how to sync the bbpress forums with that page.

Here is what I set up…
http://www.fightportlanddemodevelopment.website/issues-comments

and here is the bbpress forums page, which is linked on the sidebar…

Current Activism – proposed, planned, or in process

It seems I am missing a simple step…

I’d really appreciate any direction/help in resolving this.

Thanks, Steve

Hi everybody,

I’ve been trying as suggested bbpress 2.6 alpha but the PhpBB import fails right at the beginning.
I’ve been already importing successfully by using the latest 2 versions and I’ve never faced this error before.

Also take into account I am running the import in the same environment and against the same data set.
Here the error:

SELECT convert(users.user_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_id,convert(users.user_password USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_password,convert(users.user_form_salt USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_form_salt,convert(users.username USING “utf8mb4”) AS username,convert(users.user_email USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_email,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_website USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_website,convert(users.user_regdate USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_regdate,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_aol USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_aol,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_yahoo USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_yahoo,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_icq USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_icq,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_wlm USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_wlm,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_facebook USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_facebook,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_googleplus USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_googleplus,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_skype USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_skype,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_twitter USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_twitter,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_youtube USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_youtube,convert(users.user_jabber USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_jabber,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_occupation USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_occupation,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_interests USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_interests,convert(users.user_sig USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_sig,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_location USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_location,convert(users.user_avatar USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_avatar FROM forum_users AS users LEFT JOIN forum_profile_fields_data AS profile_fields_data USING (user_id) WHERE users.user_type !=2 LIMIT 0, 100

Not sure yet what the problem is.
I’ll do my little investigation and I’ll let you know.

I’m trying to add a forum description. I used
<?php bbp_forum_content(); ?>

in loop-single-forum and didn’t work! Any other way I can do this? I have not modified any theme fifle, I simply copied loop-forums & loop-single-forums into my bbpress folder in my them folder

Hello,
I want to migrate phpBB forum to bbPress. I use the default import tool of bbPress, I was able to migrate it successfully but the only problem is the author name shown as Anonymous in almost all topics. When I chose to import the users, the topics shown with the correct users besides the users in Hebrew that converted automatically to numbers and shown as Anonymous and that’s because WordPress doesn’t support Hebrew characters in the username.

I would like to convert it without the users but still keep the author name, as in archive forum. It’s also make sense to keep the original name of user who post even the user doesn’t exist in system. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi
When I click a single topic to read its content, the bbpress layout breaks and looks so ugly.
It is fine when I logged in as web-master but as a regular member or anonymous visitor, the page layout breaks.
How can I fix this problem?

Hi,
I have a issue regarding the Visual Editor within the forum page. I would like the visual editor within the forum edit page to be enabled so that I can give a image/text introduction to the forum. I have tried to install suggested plugins like “TinyMCE Advanced” and others but none of them directly solve the problem I am having. Example of what I am looking for:

What I would like to be on the page:
http://postimg.org/image/y52i13nup/

WordPress: Version 4.5.2 running Untold Stories theme.
bbPress: Version 2.5.9
website forum page: http://www.curlswithattitude.com/forums/introduction

Setting up my first bbPress forum, and I’m amazed so far 😀 Probably a newb question, but:

Is it possible to make the forums public visible, but the topics (or posts) private, for logged in users only?

I’d like the visitor to see what to expect when he/she creates an account.

Thanks everyone!

I am very new to wordpress and installed bbpress, but I’ve noticed that I don’t have the option to delete a post I created. How can I generate a link for this on created posts?

Update: I realise that you need to be a moderator. I was testing with a standard/ordinary account.
