bbPress.org

I am so very frustrated…I am getting very very close to completing my website and getting it out in cyberspace…but one problem I am having is that I cannot get the forum in bbpress to work correctly…I have buddypress set up as well and it is working fine…I created a forum page which is showing as a child page under my “community” tab in the main header menu…when going to the forum page there is nothing at all except what I wrote when creating the page…by tutorials I have seen there should be other things showing such as “topics” and “replies” and there is nothing showing up…please help I am so so frustrated…is it that my theme doesn’t support it or do I have to break into code…Also I am afraid to send my login info or any other private info as not sure who all is seeing it….I will be checking back later tonight…I will probably be stuck on this all night as I am determined to figure this out!! Thanks, Rhonda

Hi!

I would like bbpress to add post author’s username, when I click to “Reply” link. What should I do for that?

Hello,

I have experienced an issue importing posts from a BuddyPress group forum. Originally I lost the link to all topics when I manually deleted some spam users directly in the tables wp_users and wp_bp_groups_members. In the group forum it simply stated “Sorry, there were no forum topics found.” So I thought I would upgrade to bbpress using the instructions here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/migrating-from-old-forums-to-bbpress-2/

I followed all instructions up to the import process and then the import just got stuck – i.e. nothing was imported.

Then I noticed no forums are now listed under Forums.

So I created a new forum, which looks different to the previous forum (presumably because I am now using bbpress and not the old Buddypress group forum – how to tell?). I can link this forum to my one Buddypress group, but now none of the old topics show – they are all still in the WordPress database, but I need to know how to get them into the new forum that I have created, or import them some other way.

I would be grateful for any advice.

Thanks,

Nick

This is an issue I am struggling for a long time now.
I have wordpress 4.3.1 installed and bbPress 2.5.8. The formerly created forums are running but I don’t see any Forum options in my dashboard. I have deleted the plugin and installed it again, to no avail.

Even when bbPress is the only plugin activated it don’t show.
Please help.

In loop-fourms.php file add your custom “Add Topic” button:

<a href="/new-topic/?ForumId=<?php echo bbp_get_forum_id()?>">New Topic</a>

Add this code to a custom .php file or directly to your theme function.php file:

//BBpress New Topic Button // 
add_shortcode('wpmu_bbp_topic', 'wpmu_bbp_create_new_topic', 10);
function wpmu_bbp_create_new_topic(){
	
	if ( isset($_GET['ForumId']) ){
		
		return do_shortcode("."]");
		
	}else{
		
		return do_shortcode("




	

		

			
You must be logged in to create new topics.
		
	





");
		
	}
}
//End BBpress New Topic Button //

Make sure you’ve created a custom page titled “new topic” with a friendly url of “new-topic”

Place the new shortcode we registered into this page:

[wpmu_bbp_topic]

This will automatically display contact create form of the selected forum if ID exists in the URL otherwise fall back to default shortcode.

You can see it in action on my site:
http://artofwargaming.net/forums/

Hope this helps anyone who was looking to create a “new topic” button.

I can’t take credit for this, this was all thanks to the help of the guys over at WPMUDEV – Sajid, Anang, and Tyler.

I want to look at discussion here which I’ve replied to. The Replies Created list accessed from my user menu shows my comments, but they are not clickable and I cannot see the topics or other replies? That’s kind of a WTF functionality.

To the contrary hitting Topics Started shows a standard view with the items clickable. I can drill down into those.

Hi there, i’m pretty new to this so i may well be doing something wrong but i just installed bbpress, got the bbp style pack to make it easier to pimp out my forum and i made 1 single change to see what was what… I changed the background colour to black from default. I went out of the room for 20 minutes, came back and went to make more changes but now it doesn’t want to change anything at all. I’ve tried changing the background colour back with no effect. I’ve disabled my caching plugin to see if that was having any effect but nay…..

I’ve even deleted ALL options from the bbp style pack options but it’s kept the styles on the page which is even stranger.

Please can someone help with this if they can as i’ve spent a whole week attempting another forum plugin only to realise that it was pony and i should have gone with this one in the first place but now i can’t this one to work either haha. 🙁

my website is 10tu8.com but it’s nowhere near a complete site just yet.

Thanks in advance for any help at all 😉

I am using WP 4.3.1 The link to my site is http://oaktreefriends.com and I am running the Weaver Xtreme Pro theme.

The issues that I seem to be having are
1. there is no forum login/signup button – that I can see – not sure if there is supposed to be one.
2. When someone subscribes to the site through the wp-admin login screen they do not automatically get assigned as a participant to the forum even though I have it set up that way in the forum settings.

As the keymaster, when I am logged into the site I do not see a way to create new forums or topics without going into the back end. Do I need to find the gatekeeper to do this? Eventually I want the site moderator to be able create new forums as need and I want participants to be able to create new topics as they see the need.

Thanks,

Andy

Hello. I want to disable the edit profile link on my forum using bbpress, which I have found the following code to add to functions.php. It works, except for next to the username and profile pictures there is a comma, and it looks messy… anyone with php knowledge know why this code is producing a comma next to the username and profile pic?

Thanks

<?php
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_author_link’, ‘remove_author_links’, 10, 2);
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_author_link’, ‘remove_author_links’, 10, 2);
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_topic_author_link’, ‘remove_author_links’, 10, 2);
function remove_author_links($author_link, $args) {
$author_link = preg_replace(array(‘{<a[^>]*>}’,'{}’), array(“,”), $author_link);
return $author_link;
}
?>
