BuddyPress.org

another thing you can try is re-saving your permalinks if you haven’t tried that one yet. beyond that you are probably beyond my ability to help but maybe someone else who knows more either here or on the bbpress support forum maybe able to help you further.

I’ve had a similar situation in the past this plugin was able to help straiten things out for me it was made by jjj the lead for bbpress:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-capabilities/

did you try running the repair scripts in the bbpress options?

To remove @username near the header avatar on profile page, use this (in bp-custom.php)

function bpfr_remove_mention_from_profile() {	
	// hide the hardcoded @ sign and username
	echo '<style> h2.user-nicename { display:none; } </style>';

	if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
        $user_id = 'displayed: '. bp_displayed_user_id();
    } else {
        $user_id = 'get_member_user: '. bp_get_member_user_id();
    }

	remove_filter( 'bp_get_displayed_user_mentionname', bp_activity_get_user_mentionname( bp_displayed_user_id() ) );
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_displayed_user_mentionname', 'bpfr_remove_mention_from_profile' ); 

To remove the mention sub tab from profile page, use this (in bp-custom.php):

function bpfr_hide_mention( $retval = 1 ) {
	$retval = false;
	// condition 
	if ( bp_is_user() && ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {
		$retval = true;
	}	
	return $retval;
}

function bpfr_hide_mention_nav() {	
	// stop if condition is not ok
	if ( ! bpfr_hide_mention() ) {
		return;
	}
	// otherwise we remove the nav item
	//bp subnav items
	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'mentions' ); 
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'bpfr_hide_mention_nav' );

To unlink @mention (this removes only the link not the mentionned username) AND remove the public message button, use this (in bp-custom.php):
add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

To allow the new BP 2.1 @mention tool in bbPress, use this (in bp-custom.php):

function bpfr_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts( $retval = false ) {
	if ( function_exists( 'bbpress' ) && is_bbpress() ) {
		$retval = true;
	}
 
	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'bpfr_bbpress_maybe_load_mentions_scripts' );

Tested with WP 4.1 – BP 2.1.1 – bbP 2.5.4

You’re welcome !
bbPress and BuddyPress are TWO separate plugin, and you’re here on the BuddyPress support. 😉

If you have questions related to bbP, please visit their support for better chance to get the right answer.

As it is a bit unclear what you’re doing with buddypress for the moment, see here about vbulletin import into bbPress.

Try bp multi network https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/ AND Networks + from http://wpebooks.com/networks/

Networks+ is a “premium” (small) plugin written by one of the authors of bp-multi-network and numerous (about 30) other plugins in the WordPress repository and it is fully supported.

Using buddypress and bbpress together with those two plugins you will be able to have separate communities with separate activity streams, forums, groups and blogs all in one wordpress installation and in one database. Membership is shared.

There may be other combinations of plugins that may work. The combination above does work.

The easiest way is to use the Groups Component along with bbPress.Each group would get its own discussion forum.

bbPress is a plugin outside of BuddyPress. You better ask for this on their support forum.

You could also read the bbPress Codex.

BuddyPress doesn’t provide forums.

You need a separate plugin: bbPress

@jgwolfensberger No problem with WP 4.1 and BP 2.1.1 and bbPress. Just watch out for WP 4.1 compatibiity with custom theme or other plugins.

@jwchameleoncorp BuddyPress Codex (Documentation link above) is your friend.

You will need to install bbPress forums which integrates well with BuddyPress. There is a step-by-step guide at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ You just have to decide on what forums setup you want for your site.

It’s not recommended to duplicate BP omponents.

Instead, consider this plugin

Hi @scrubtek

Try asking over at bbPress https://bbpress.org

The guys over there specialise in the forums.

You’ll need bbPress for forums and a membership plugin like s2member or WishList Member for paid membership.

These are the BuddyPress forums.
You might want to try the bbPress forums.

It would also be interesting to get all mods/keymaster reaction around this subject in the next days, or at least a clear reminder on how this support forum should/could be moderated.

Fixing the said bug has thrown us in the deep end… I’ve got quite a few more moderator tools/updates to go in over the next couple of days that should help us out on both BuddyPress.org and bbPress.org 🙂

@netweb, thank you for these explanation Stephen ! 😉

Glad to read some good news around this little problem.

It would also be interesting to get all mods/keymaster reaction around this subject in the next days, or at least a clear reminder on how this support forum should/could be moderated.

I’m also wondering if we could use some interesting plugins now, like buddy-bbPress-Support-Topic by @imath, and automated topic closing after 30 days.

let’s talk together ! 😀

2 is very appropriate: one for a site url, one for a screen shot… or max. 2 spam link 🙂

This is WordPress’ default setting /wp-admin/options-discussion.php and I tend to agree, 2 seems quite reasonable.

@danbp wrote…
But for mods (only), it could be more depending the user problem, even if 2 seems to be ok in most case.

I’ve just added a patch to bypass this altogether for moderators as it is pointless moderating moderators topics/replies that the moderator can self approve!

@danbp wrote…
But the warning msg, what ever the allowed links will be, is important.

A bit of background, there was a bug in bbPress that meant ‘maximum number of links’ was never actually being checked, thus we fixed said bug and now we see the results of said fix :/

Included in those same checks is Comment Moderation and Comment Blacklist also at /wp-admin/options-discussion.php for when a topic or reply contains any of the listed words (e.g. name, URL, e-mail, or IP) then the topic or reply will be saved with the post status pending and held in the moderation queue.

Currently if a match occurs from the “blacklist” a notice is displayed and the post is never created
ERROR: Your topic/reply cannot be created at this time., this behaviour will not change and only keymasters/admins can bypass this.

For the actual “warning message”/”notice” that is posted when either the max number of links or a word trigger from the “comment moderation” word list is triggered per @JohnJamesJacoby’s comment here:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1988#comment:3

Having it be nondescript, and leaving it up to the moderation/admin team to review those posts and choose whether or not to publish them, seems the simplest approach for today.

@scrubtek

font sizing is somehow user device dependant, so using extended tinyMCE tools to adjust your output is not a good idea for a public forum. This may be good on a blog where you are the only editor, but that is generally not the case on a forum. 😉

The solution is to modify the CSS !

increase font size

Hi @scrubtek i think there is a plugin to achieve this functionality
