bbPress.org

Is there a way users/visitors of the forum could request a user role upgrade.

When users sign up they are ‘contributor’ and I want them to fill out some information and put out a request to become ‘expert’

Hare there any functionalities like this out there?

I have disabled file uploads in my bbPress forum, and all works well, that is to say, people can’t upload files.

Until… you go back into a post you made and edit it, when you are editing the post then the ability to attach a file is now available.

How can I switch it off so it is actually off?

Please help.

I am not able to post any topics, it gives error of “duplicate topic”…i would be surprised if this one gets posts 😉

Hi Guys,

I am trying to have a page in WordPress which shows two sections:

1) posts with 20 or more replies
2) posts with 19 or less replies

I have created a page with the following shortcodes:

I have added the following into my themes functions.php file:

// Add Custom View - Forum Home

add_action( 'bb_init', 'view_twentyplus_posts_init' );

function view_twentyplus_posts_init() 
{
	$args = array( 'post_count' => '>19' );
	bb_register_view( 'twentyplus_posts', __('Popular Posts', 'example'), $args, false );
}

add_action( 'bb_init', 'view_lesstwenty_posts_init' );

function view_lesstwenty_posts_init() 
{
	$args = array( 'post_count' => '<20' );
	bb_register_view( 'lesstwenty_posts', __('Forum Posts', 'example'), $args, false );
}

However all I get in response is:

Oh bother! No topics were found here!

Oh bother! No topics were found here!

Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

For those who have been asking a new plugin which hopefully will help

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

Changing style items – now in this plugin so no need to create child themes and post complicated code into style sheets

Changing how the forum looks, the most asked for items, such as vertical sub forums, hiding counts, adding ‘create new topic’ links, removing ‘private’ prefix, adding forum descriptions, changing breadcrumbs and more

Login – create simple menu items to help with logging in, registration and changing profiles

Shortcodes – 3 useful new shortcodes to help your display

Feedback both positive and ‘needs improvement’ welcomed !

Hi Guys,

I am trying to setup my forum to have the following slugs:

Forum: community
Topic: community/forum/topic
Topic Tag: community/forum/tag

My actual forum will have the slug forum, so the architecture of the site will simply be

domain.com/community/forum
domain.com/community/forum/topic
domain.com/community/forum/tag

This works perfectly for the actual forum but topics are throwing a 404 error.

any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi, I have been trying to post my new topic query here and I am not able to do it. It’s showing some duplicate topic error but when I check my posts, it shows I have made no posts. Where Can I post my query?

Hello.

I would like to set some letters only in a new topic textarea by default.

Is it possible?

Hi,

When a user creates an account at http://thewritepractice.com/index.php?/register/JUZsw5 and then goes to the bbPress forum at http://thewritepractice.com/bw and posts a topic, there is an Edit link at the bottom of that topic. But when they click that link, they get this error message:

You are not allowed to edit this item.

A few notes:

1. I’m on the latest version of WordPress.
2. This problem persists when all plugins but bbPress is activated.
3. This problem persists when the 2015 theme is activated.

I installed and activated the bbPress Advanced Capabilities plugin and learned that if I enabled “Edit others topics” for Participants, the participant could then edit their topic.

So in other words, bbPress thinks that the topic is being created by someone other than themselves.

Any ideas how this could be the case? It’s very strange…

Thanks!

Okay, I’m officially freaking out now. After hearing about it quite a bit, I finally learned how to create a child theme. I did so, and I began adding css related to bbpress with “!important” to change things. After changing a few things, I realized the text color wasn’t going to work, so I went into my theme options, and there is a way to change colors without having to go into code. Luckily, there is a default button, so I can just press that to go back to default. Basically, I changed each one and then refreshed the forum to see if that was it. I finally found it, but I didn’t like what it did to the rest of the site, so I went back to default. Now nothing is changing on the forum, even though everything else is going back to normal in the theme.

So I then started deleting the changes I made in my child theme .css, and it isn’t changing anything. I even went as far as to go back to my parent theme. This made the forum disappear, so I deactivated it and re-activated it. Well, now it is right back to the one after it was changed. How could it still be changed? I tried deleting it and re installing it, but it still won’t change. How could this have happened?

Sorry for panicking, but I simply don’t understand how this happened. Thank you for any answers.
