BuddyPress.org

Thanks for the post, however since you are referencing forums, you should post on the bbPress support site.

Edit – I see that you’ve already posted on the bbPress forums:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-delete-remove-posts-andor-threads/

Just for reference:

* bbPress = forums
* BuddyPress = community (member profiles, groups, private messaging, etc.)

bbPress adds forum support to BuddyPress.

bbPress wouldn’t give you any suggestions.

I just took a look at the bbPress codebase and bbPress should link usernames when @USERNAME is used in the post content. That’s basically the extent of their at-mention functionality.

You might want to keep an eye on these tickets in bbPress Trac:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2409
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2773

I know bbPress has their own version of at-mentions. You should experiment by disabling the Activity Streams component from BuddyPress and testing an at-mention in a bbPress forum post to see what happens.

Since you are talking about forum post count, you should post this over on the bbPress forums:
https://bbpress.org/forums

bbPress adds support for group forums in BuddyPress.

Here are some hints though:

Hey @fenixbazaar

Give the guys a shout over at bbPress. They handle forum-related questions.

Sounds like you’re mkissing a call to bbpress pagination.

Maybe this?
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'topics' ); ?>

btw – this is BuddyPress support forums – bbpress support forums are here.

It’s hardcoded. If you know how to customise a theme and write PHP, you can see the implemetnation: https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/buddypress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/bb-base/functions.php#L355

bbPress does have shortcodes, I’d suggest doing that instead. I don’t know what the shortcode is, I’d suggest searching on bbpress.org.

buddypress.php is a generic template to be using. Take a look at the Template Hierarchy article for info on the various templates available to BuddyPress.

This bbPress article will also be useful: https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/

bbpress.org/support would be a better question as they provide the forum software (not BuddyPress) but generally speaking, it depends how you’re going to automate inviting those 600 people. As long as your invite script doesn’t run out of memory, you shouldn’t have any problem. Certainly, there’s no limit inside bbPress for the number of users it can support.

@djpaul,

i tried to reproduce and got same result as @gretchenlouise with one of WP theme.

2016 = correct result (url /forums/search/word_to_search/)
2015 = wrong result (url /forums/search/word_to_search/) i got the latest post…
2014 = correct result (url /forums/search/word_to_search/)
2013 = correct result (url /forums/search/word_to_search/)
3rd party theme graphene = correct result

Apparently 2015 doesn’t organize search like the other themes and/or ignore bbPress…

Have a nice week-end.

Arrf ! 🙂 [re edit after emoji where stripped]
Damned! The only notice with it’s own codex page. LOL

Thank you @shanebp for sharing this solution.

You can get a profile field value like so:

$child = xprofile_get_field_data( 'child', $user_id );

if ( ! empty( $child ) ) 
    echo $child; 

Getting the $user_id and changing the layout are both questions specific to bbPress and best asked on their forums.

Is this the search widget built into bbPress, or does another plugin provide it?
