bbPress.org

It seems that there are no restrictions, in bbpress, on the number of topics or replies, but there are restrictions on the number of forums (I read 50).

However, using the structure “wordpress.org/support/plugin/” I see that there are thousands of forums. How can I replicate this structure?

For example, let’s imagine I have 200 courses and I want to put a forum for each one. Then, the structure would be “wordpress.org/support/curse/”. But, in practice, how to do it?

It seems to me that in the plugin support cases, wordpress.org is not using multisites or custom post type, because all the topics of all the plugins have this structure: wordpress.org/support/topic/. There are about 1 million topics.

My question is: to avoid the limit of 50 forums, how can I reproduce the structure “wordpress.org/support/curse/” and have a forum for each course?

Hi there, can somebody tell me, how to instal WPlanguage plagin, because when I instal, no one additional language were added to my site.

Hi

I want to migrate from XenForo 1.5.10 to bbpress

Please tell me where to download this tool and how to do it?

Hi there

We need to block all access to the Forums, unless you are logged in. Or to allow certain Forums to be viewable such as Rules.

Google is crawling it and we need to stop it. And to stop access to the forum unless you are logged in.

Can anyone please help?

Hi, I’m a webmaster at a website that has bbPress.
And they often paste text in from another website that results in leaving a lot of formatted text. Is there a way to prevent that? It would be nice with a feature that could remove the formatted text.

Best regards,
Tinna

Please tell me how to add a meta description for the main page of the forums?!

I use Yoast SEO to add meta descriptions to other pages. It’s easy to add a description for individual forums by editing the page. But I don’t understand how can I open edit the main page of all forums (for example, https://example-site.com/forums – I need to add a meta description for this page).

I am new to website building and am learning everything. I will be glad to any advice. Thank you.

Hi, I would like to display nickname (and not username) in the whole bbpress forum.

For topics list, I modified the code from a previous topic Show username instead of full name / display name and it works well so far.

See https://paste.pics/MVA62

The modified codes that I use is as follows:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_display_name' , 'rew_reply_change_to_nickname', 10 , 2 ) ;

function rew_reply_change_to_nickname ($author_name, $reply_id) {
	// Get the author ID
	$author_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id );
	$nickname = um_get_display_name( $author_id );
return $nickname ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_display_name' , 'rew_topic_change_to_nickname', 10 , 2 ) ;

function rew_topic_change_to_nickname ($author_name, $topic_id) {
	// Get the author ID
	$author_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );
	$nickname = um_get_display_name( $author_id );
return $nickname ;
}

Note: I use Ultimate Member (UM) plugin to display user details.

However, when comes to user profile, I’m struggling on how to force display nickname right above the avatar. Hope you can help me with that.

Note: It’s very tedious to modify “display name publicly as” from the WordPress dashboard for every registered user. Thus hopefully codes may well do the job for me.

Hi,

I’d like to add a line of text above or below each topic. How can I do that?

Thanks

We encountered a severe problem. A couple of weeks ago we converted our PHPBB forum to bbPress.
The converted forum was doing all functions as expected. Since three days ago users who where already member on the PHPBB forum cannot login after renewing their password when they donot spell the nice-name correctly.
Then they get the message: Warning: register_shutdown_function(): Invalid shutdown callback ‘BBP_Converter_DB::__destruct’ passed in E:\wamp64_bert\www\forum\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\admin\classes\class-bbp-converter-db.php on line 35
So far we have traced that it must have something to do with the information stored in the table usermeta with meta_key ‘_bbp_class’. When we remove that record the user can login as expected.

The only change to the systems has been the update of WordPress. May be that has something to do with it. Our knowledge of debuging is rather limited so we need urgent advice on how to fix this problem.
We have seen that similar problems have been reported in the past but no solution other then removing and reentering the user was mentioned. That is not a reel solution because the orignal name of the author is lost.

Wo can provide us a solution or hint to solve our problem.

Brand new user, and have set up bbpress but have one feature I need to add still and can’t find it in my search of previous posts here.

I want to replace the Topic Tags box with a select box or checkboxes showing a pre-definted list of Topic Tags. At osme point we may allow users to create new ones, but not now.

What is the best approach here? I can edit the template for the post form and manually add the tags, but I’d prefer it pull them from the existing topic tags list so we can update that and have the latest list of tags displayed.

Many thanks.
