@tgoedde,

keymaster and participant are bbpress roles
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

did you created a registration page from within BP settings ?

If you’re editing core files – then yes, of course, your changes will be wiped out.
You can use bp-custom.php to add functions.
You can use template overrides to change templates.
See the codex ( the Documentation link ) for more info.
It’s rare that you can’t make your changes using a filter hook – then the changes won’t be wiped out.
This is the standard approach to coding in WP – including BuddyPress and bbPress.

Hi @mmaccou,

The place in the functions.php has no importance. You can also use bp-custom.php to be independant of your theme.
That said, the tip (published 2010) you tried is no more accurate for BP 2.x and/or bbPress.

Try this one instead:

/* deactivate @mention - BP 2.0+ & bbpress */

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' ); // BP only
add_filter( 'bbp_find_mentions', '__return_false' ); //bbPress only

BP and bbPress are meant to act that way. So it’s considered a ‘feature’, not a bug.

If you select “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” in WP – Settings – Readings then bbpress new topics and replies won’t be shown in Buddypress Activity.

just fyi – if selected, it will also prevent blog comments from showing up in the activity stream.

You should.
And – btw – this is the BuddyPress forum.
Your question is better suited to the bbPress forum.

Yes, it’s unfortunate that bbPress doesn’t clean up the roles it created when uninstalled.
( note: it shouldn’t remove roles when it’s just deactivated. )

But this is the BuddyPress forum.
Please ask your question on the bbPress forum.

That’s bbPress, bbPress isn’t BuddyPress 🙂

bbP handles overloaded styles in same manner BP does so you can copy the stylesheet for bbpress to your theme/child theme and edit the relevant rulesets.

At this stage we can’t help as you provide no idea of what sort of issue you are having; this plugin author you contacted replied to you thusly You might want to contact one of the developers of the plugin that is causing the problem and send them the information in your console no information though!

Not sure why you have arrived at the conclusion BuddyPress is the issue here though, BP is coded very tightly to WP standards and is less a plugin and more an extension of WP functionality.

You actually list a number of fairly complex plugins that you consider cause the issue and seem to have posted this question on bbPress forum their response is going to be the same as ours at this stage without much more information, but frankly if one states a number of plugins appear to cause an issue on an individual basis then the one common denominator would likely be the problem and in this case that’s the bol.com plugin, but that’s not pointing the finger so to speak at bol but the resolution will lie with bol rather than bbPress or BuddyPress.

Forums are controlled by bbPress.
You’ll have better luck asking on the bbPress support forum.

You referring to forum pages?
They are created by bbPress.
You could ask on the bbPress forums.
You’ll need to modify the bbPress templates.

Automatically? No.

You could try using the bbPress tools.
…/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair

If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to replace those urls.
You can write a script or use a search & replace tool like this one.
It’s a powerful tool. Definitely try it on your clone until you understand how to use it.

Hi @johnnyjonjon

I tried submitting the form via a) Chrome and b) IE

a) This worked.

b) This seemed to fail? The console errors I get are:

DOM7011: The code on this page disabled back and forward caching. For more information, see: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=291337
File: bbpress-register
HTML1300: Navigation occurred.
File: bbpress-register
DOM7011: The code on this page disabled back and forward caching. For more information, see: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=291337
File: bbpress-register

I’m not entirely sure what this means, but perhaps someone else here will know?

Hey @chatty24, thanks. Buddypress actually added this functionality to the latest update (activity mentions) but It would be great to have a more convenient bbpress forums mentioning system.

recent replies and most popular topics are not buddypress widgets.
Recent replies belongs to bbpress, but i don’t know about most popular topics…

Can you give the source code of those widgets please (but not the whole page) ?
Highlight them in your browser, right-click > show selection source.

@dromicus
Not be be short with you but I don’t care to much for typing long replies anymore but if you go to https://bbpress.org/ and read the documentation you should be able to answer most of your own questions. There are also plenty of plugins to extend bbPress so you can explore that option as well if needed. Good luck!

@dromicus
BuddyPress is for the social networking components and does not provide forums without an additional plugin. You will need bbPress which is for forums and it does integrate with BuddyPress.

Hi @bee7er

bbPress-related questions should be posted on the bbPress support forums. Try opening a new topic over there so those guys can help with the problem you’re having.

it is not intended by default. bbPress use a simplified version of tinyMCE and image upload are not included, for security reasons. Allowing forum users to access the media library of all your site is probably not what you want…

To the above mentionned plugins, there are also BuddyDrive and MediaPress, a new plugin who permit any user to upload media files (photo, audio,video,doc) to his profile page, that way it is very simple for each subscriber to share his stuff, even on the forum, by just giving a link to his media gallery.
