bbPress.org

Hello all,

Thanks in advance for all your coding guys.

As writeen in the topic, I would like to be able to have a forum where only moderators can create new topics, and other users can only reply to these.

there’s a plugin over there to make this? or I can modify functions.php of my child-theme to have this that works?

Thanks for your Attention and for your work guys.

Have a Nice day!

Hi – I installed bbpress, thinking about adding forum. Changed mind. Deleted plug in, but now I can’t access wordpress admin. Error message upon log in attempts reads “you do not have sufficient permissions…”. If I reinstall/activate bbpress, I can log into my site as normal. Please help, I need the plug in removed. Have a great day and thank you in advance.

Hello,

My site www.walthamforestforum.org is coming together OK. I’m using the 2014 theme. However I’ve got a couple of things I am stuck on and wondered if anyone could help me.

A – I would like new users to be able to register themselves, but with more detail than the standard sign up form allows, i.e. a few custom fields (that will hopefully show up everytime they post) and a recaptcha field. The Profile Builder plug in looks quite good but a bit expensive I think for such a simple requirement. Do some themes have better register pages built in?

A – I’m not too keen on the narrow width of the forums, Could anyone recommend some themes that work well with bbpress on different platforms to maximise available width of display?

WordPress version: 4.1.1
bbPress version: 2.5.4

Looking to have the forum profile displayed within the “Forum Account” tab.

Additionally will like to modify the link of when a user clicks his own name/avatar to view his profile to lead it to this page.

Thank you.

In the main forum view, I am seeing the freshness as the last day a topic was created.

Instead, is there a way to get the last time a reply was created? If a topic was created 3 years ago, but a reply to the topic was made an hour ago, it still looks as if there has been no activity in 3 years. It would be great to have freshness also show last reply.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I want to prevent “anyone” writing a topic or reply in the forum from posting any links. Period. I am flummoxed that I can only find one topic on this in bbPress or WP and that topic is almost 5 years old.

I do not require users to register to create topics and make replies and I would like to keep it that way. However, I don’t want to allow anyone to be able to write HTML or post links to “anything” in the forum. If it has to include moderators, even me, that’s fine.

Lately unregistered users have been able to post links to images within their topic or reply that takes users to another website or they are able to post links to image websites in a way that the images are embedded in the reply, without the image being manipulated. One image was so large that all that displayed was an ankle!

I have a plugin in the forum sidebar for users to upload images to a gallery where the images are checked for needing approval. From the dashboard I can edit and size the image and then insert them into the topics and replies. The moderators also know how to do this. This has worked well.

I am leery of links to inappropriate websites and I need to stop this now. Does anyone know how to set bbPress or WP to ban links or is there a plugin that does this?
Thank you, Matoca

Hi there!

We’re trying to move our forums from a custom Q&A platform to bbPress… very glad there is now an importer! 🙂

So I copied example.php to myimport.php, changed the class name, and updated the tables/columns that apply (the ones that exist in the old database).

And ran the import…

But I keep running into import errors for fields that don’t apply as they don’t exist in the other database, like forums_table.the_reply_count

So for a field that just does not exist in the old database, what’s the proper syntax for “ignore this”? 🙂

For example, this one…

// Forum topic count (Stored in postmeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'forums_table',
			'from_fieldname' => 'the_topic_count',
			'to_type'        => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname'   => '_bbp_topic_count'
		);

I looked for this on the importer codex page, but just don’t see it. 🙂

Thanks!
Dan

I recently moved our bbPress installation from one folder to another. Everything seemed to go well, accept when I loggged in, my admin account lost all admin privileges.

Fortunately, I have another second test bbPress installation and could see what admin status looks like in phpmyadmin.

So, in the first installation, using phpmyadmin, in the metavalue of the wp_usermeta table, I changed:

a:2:{s:10:"subscriber";i:1;s:15:"bbp_participant";b:1;}

to…

a:2:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:13:"bbp_keymaster";b:1;}

It seems to work. My admin account has admin privileges.

Now I understand the administrator and bbp_keymaster in the string, but what about the rest of the characters? For example, I changed s:10 to s:13.

Is this OK?

I’m just not sure what these other characters mean and what they need to be.

Thanks for any help.

I already coded a private bbPress Plugin, that extends it to something like Mailman.
It just periodically catches mails to @forum.domain.tld via IMAP and adds a new reply to the topic with the Mail content (quotation skipped).
The notification is tweaked: the Reply-To header is replaced by reply-[topic-id]@forum.domain.tld, so the user can easily reply to the topic. But this is currently done by completely replacing the bbp_notify_topic_subscribers function with my own one (including the original content, just replacing the Reply-To).
All calls to bbp_subscription_mail_headers and bbp_subscription_from_email or bbp_subscription_to_email are just called with $headers or the address itself. As of 1.5.6 the Reply-To is no longer set by bbPress.

Will there be a way to include the topic-id (preferred in header altering) in upcoming releases? Or maybe a solution by bbPress itself to respond to notification Mails?

Hi all,

Having an issue with bbPress Pagination, unfortunately it seems it has broken. Every single post is dumped onto the same page within actual topics.

It (seems) to be working with categories, as I can do /category/forum/page/2/ and it will tell me there is no content, however, when doing that within a topic it just shows everything.

No pagination links are being drawn at the bottom of the page either.

My pagination-replies.php file is identical to that of which is provided in the templates folder.

I was hoping to put my site live tonight and right at the last hurdle, it doesn’t seem it’s happening. 🙁 I am essentially looking for people to go over the basics to make sure I haven’t missed anything that would cause this to happen, so please.. do help! 😛

edit: so I have just activated the twenty-fourteen theme to see if I had broken it in my theme, and it is exactly the same there too. What have I done? 🙁

edit2: I have resaved permalinks, ran all of the forum tools – still the same.
