Hi,
Anybody can point me to an explanation of the difference between “_bbp_topic_count” and “_bbp_total_topic_count” ?
One is normal count, the other one is total count. But what is normal ?
Thanks,
Pascal.

Hi, can anyone assist me on this? I’d like to remove the filter for email verification. I don’t need user to verify email address because I only wanna use reCaptcha to prevent spam.

Appreciate the help here.

Hello, I need your help desperately! It’s one month now that i try to import my old forum into bbpress. Before, it was on vbulletin and i had no success. So i migrated vbulletin on a fresh phpbb installation and from there i’ve tryied again to migrate on bbpress. But this time is even worse!
I have the following problems:
forum repair recalculate the position of each reply gives me a blank page
on front page replies are not present, there’s just the first topic
on backend, if i try to access to replies, i have internal server error (when i’ve imported vbulletin i had the same 2 problems but at least i could access replies from backend)
I’m almost giving up as i lost so much time on it and i’m still stucked with the same problems.
Please help me!
Wordpress 4.3.1
BBPRESS 2.5.8
Theme: Hueman (issues are the same also on theme twenty twelve ecc)

I have a small, niche single forum install of bbPress and one of the things I need to do is figure out how to subscribe everyone to the single forum by default.

What I know so far:

1) The notify plugins won’t do because we WANT people to be subscribed and allowed to opt-out by unsubscribing in their settings.
2) We only want to auto-subscribe them to a single forum, not replies. This way they see all new topics, but not ALL convos.
3) This will also eventually be part of a membership to the site, thus the people subscribing are doing it, in part, to gain access and be a part of the conversation.

Seems like I am not the only one that would use a forum this way, but have found no insight on how to accomplish it.

When I put this code header.php file of my wp theme, i get this error 500 – Internal server error.

@Robkk this is likely too specific for this thread but can you point me in the right direction to get avatars displaying on the index as in your screenshot? That looks brillian!

Right now if you hit search it brings up a giant list of every post that relates to that search. Instead I would rather it bring up an INDEX of the posts, instead of the full post with all details. In other words, I currently have to search through multiple pages to find what I am looking for, which involves hunting through the results. I would far rather a search string return an index of every post (just title/author or something similar) which has a post that relates to my search.

Most people on our forum are looking for topics, not a specific word in a post. They want to comment on a topic, so receiving 4000+ posts instead of finding the topic index is very frustrating.

Any thoughts on how I can customize the results that come back via search?

Is it possible to specify the post id starting from 100 and up?
For example each post started will start from 100..101..102..etc.

Currently, it’s 892 and then 901 and then 200.
Thank you.

I have a small problem. I want to show the most popular topcis on my home page, but now I am running for a while and this feature is kinda killing my SEO performance. This is because there is one topic fairly popular on my forum and has been for over a few months now and because this is represented on the home page Google has picked up on it and this topic is showing up in most of my test search results.

Now I still want to have this feature, but make it a bit more fair for the other topcis and show the most popular topcis that has stated in the previous few days (lets say 30). Is there a shortcode/feature or function that could achieve this?

Does it ever get maintained or at the very least, moderated?

it seems plenty of Plugin developers are almost “gaming the system”, it is already hard enough to attract new people to your plugin before you have developers committing readme changes into the recent stable tag, e.g adding a period/removing a period from the end of a sentence. (which, to those unaware, causes their plugin to shoot to the top of the bbPress plugins list almost as if it has just received an update… wherein fact it hasn’t.)

Not to mention the amount of plugins that are in no way related to bbPress, yet still use the bbPress tag?

It doesn’t seem like the plugin guidelines are enforced much either, since every single plugin seems to have a boatload (30+) tags attached some of which aren’t even relevant.

(And to name and shame, here’s one: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Flogin-page-styler&old=1263429&new_path=%2Flogin-page-styler&new=1263429&sfp_email=&sfph_mail= – most recent change to the stable tag was to remove a period from the readme… really? Note, this plugin has a free and premium version… I wonder why it is being bumped constantly…)

It is just frustrating to see this going on in all honesty. The WordPress Plugins page doesn’t suffer from this as it doesn’t display the plugins in a list form.
