In reply to: New User Creation, Lost Password and more
I am new to bbPress and I’m pretty astounded by how incomplete out of the box this thing is. I’m really trying to love it but at every turn I’m experiencing a disconnect… : (
What do you mean exactly?
I’ll add this for starters, making bbPress templates compatible with every WordPress theme in existence is not possible ‘out of the box’ we do try to do our best though 🙂I have just had a quick look at the theme authors site and there is very little publicly accessible info available so I can’t link you to that. It would also be worth looking at their support forums to see if any others have had issues and/or fixes when using bbPress
1. How do new users login/find password? I’ve already created pages with the short code and added it to the widgets. Doesn’t work.
For this you will need to make sure bbPress is using a template from your theme that includes a sidebar. If you look in your theme folder you will probably find a file named
page-sidebar.php, make a copy of that file and rename it tobbpress.phpand now bbPress will use template for all your bbPress pages like forums, topics etcOnce the sidebar is present that will also fix the login issue as you have the login widget set for your sidebar.
In reply to: bbpress Recent Topic WidgetThis will be an S2Member issue, I can’t find the link but there are some good docs on the S2 site on how to configure the membership levels in S2 do exactly what you are asking above.
Seems like the bbPress user role ‘keymaster’ is trying to make you have a bad day.
Open up bbPress’ Repair Tools from the Dashboard -> Tools -> bbPress (/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair)
Run the Repair Tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”
How’d did that go?
In reply to: Problem after change website hostingThis will be more of a WordPress issue than bbPress.
See this doc to help you get it sorted https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
If you have more issues with this part (i.e. Not bbPress) post in the WP Support forums https://wordpress.org/support/
When you send out a link to a topic on the forum, you get “No Results Found” if you aren’t logged in. This is big usability issue. People are going to assume there is something wrong with the link rather than realize that they just need to sign-in.
For the record bbPress is specifically designed this way to 404 unless the user is logged in.
In case you go down the 404 route here is the code you need based on your above code:
<p> <?php esc_html_e('The page you requested could not be found or could not be displayed. If you are a parishioner and you are trying to access a forum page, it may be that you ','Chameleon'); ?> <a href="http://www.url-here/">need to log in</a><?php esc_html_e('. You can do so on the forum page in the right sidebar. Otherwise, try refining your search, or use the navigation above to locate the post.','Chameleon'); ?></p>In reply to: Phorum Import to bbPressIs it possible that it stopped because my Mac went to sleep?
Most likely, it can’t do stuff if the computer is asleep/off 😉
The good thing is you should be able to enter the same details you used to kick it off in the first place and click ‘Start’ and it will resume from where it left off. 🙂
I just responded on the other thread, I’ll have a patch/fix for this later today.
@doremdou I’m pretty sure I know what the issue is with the ‘Subscribe’ issue is here, I’ll write up a patch/fix for this later today.
In reply to: bbPress not formatting properlyTo fix the ‘subscribe’ link add this to your themes
functions.phpfile or yourbbpress-functions.phpfile in your theme directory.To change from
Home › Forums › My ForumSubscribe
To change toHome › Forums › My Forum (Subscribe)function ntwb_forum_subscription_link( $args ) { $args['before'] = ' ('; $args['after'] = ')'; return $args; } add_filter( 'bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args', 'ntwb_forum_subscription_link' );If you don’t want to add it manually add it to your
functions.phpfile grab the entire file here and add it as a standalone plugin to your WordPress install.https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7686980
I’m not sure/clear what you mean for your ‘freshness’ issue, can you post a screenshot or link to your site please 🙂
In reply to: Remove "Published By" on main forum pageThat actually appearing from your themes template and not bbPress’ templates.
If you open up your
page.phptemplate of your theme (Or whatever the primary temmplate is) you will see something similar to this code:<div class="entry-author-meta"> <p class="author-name">Published by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="#" title="#">#</a></span> </p> <p class="author-description"> </p> </div>Now make a copy of your
page.phptemplate (or again the main template your theme uses) and rename the this tobbpress.phpopen up thebbpress.phpin a text editor and remove the section of code that I listed above.bbPress will now use this template rather that your themes default template.
In reply to: Phorum Import to bbPressNothing in particular except to say that if Phorum has weird/custom BBCode that they won’t be converted standard BBCodes like [b], [url], [img] etc will be converted.
Also I don’t think the passwords will be converted so it is just a matter of the user requesting a password reset to get up and running after the conversion.
I’d also suggest you do this on a test server (local or remote) to get used to the process before you try this on your live server, that way any bugs issues etc will be sorted out first.
Are you talking thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of posts?
In reply to: SimplePress ImportSorry for the late reply, this seems to be closest info I can find about the error but nginx/php5-fpm configs are not my strong suit, I use either the defaults or what my web host picks for me 😉
That said, when you hit stop, it stops (obviously) but when you click start it does just resume from where it left off.
In reply to: Where to go for bbPress PHP help?I’m going to close this topic as it is not going to be helpful for anyone.
@mycelus Feel free to open new topics though try to keep each topic not so broad a scope i.e. wanting to know how to change everything at once etc, break it down in parts and search for the site to see what others have done.Eg. To change the way the forums are listed use this snippet shown here.
Most of all choose your words carefully to not offend or insult others rather than some the terminology you used in your screenshot above and your follow up post. There is no need to make any of this personal, nor will personal attacks on anyone be tolerated.
In reply to: bbPress 2.5.3@magic-komplex You can find the latest German translations for bbPress here (Both ‘de’ and ‘de formal’)
In reply to: Where to go for bbPress PHP help?Wow! On the front page of bbpress.org and everywhere we mention bbPress:
"bbPress is forum software, made the WordPress way."bbPress is not like all other forums, it was not made to be like other forums, it was made the WordPress way allowing for customized functionality by plugins and/or themes.
So maybe you should post on http://jobs.wordpress.net/
In reply to: SimplePress Importsnap 😉 excellent
In reply to: SimplePress ImportThere we go, that indeed will be the issue.
Essentially after the forum hierarchy is calculated it starts importing the topics (though that’s the last message you see)
We use a custom ‘bbcode’ parser to convert the imported forums BBCodes eg. [url], [b], [img] etc.
So if you are using a plugin that is doing something with BBCodes it’s a high probability that that is the conflict.
Disable said plugin and you should be good to go and/or if you don’t know which plugin it is disable them all, do your import, then enable your plugins again.
In reply to: SimplePress ImportI made the importer with SP v5.1.4 and every now and then upgrade to the latest just as I did earlier.
I’ve got nothing else that comes to mind at this minute, it’s quite late here so I’ll take a closer look in the morning.
A couple of things will help though, what versions of WordPress, bbPress and SimplePress are you using?
In reply to: Internal Server Error in BBPressFrom what I can see of your site just now is you still have those plugins enabled and your still using your theme. Disable your plugins and switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Thirteen and you won’t have a problem deleting those replies.
Once your done that activate your theme and check if the problem still exists.
Next enable one other plugin and check the problem again.
Next, your next plugin, check again.
Keep doing this one by one and you will find the conflict and we can go from there.
In reply to: Private Forum TitleThis is what your looking for 🙂 https://gist.github.com/ntwb/8662354
In reply to: Internal Server Error in BBPressDelete bbPress and reinstall it, you won’t let lose your forum data.
If that doesn’t fix the issue you will have to contact your hosting provider as there will be something wrong with either the Apache or PHP configuration or you are simply running out of memory, you have quite a few plugins running.
There are NO known issues when WordPress’ only active plugin is bbPress.
In reply to: One bbPress forum on multiple wordpress sites?No is the quick answer.
bbPress is a plugin for WordPress, hence if you have multiple WordPress sites you will need to install the bbPress plugin on each WordPress site.
In reply to: "Welcome to bbpress" showing up twiceYou shouldn’t have ‘E-mail’, ‘Forums’ or either instance of ‘Welcome to bbPress’ on the ‘Dashboard’ menu.
What plugins are you using?
I expect it to be a conflict with one of them and/or the menu plugin you are using is picking up things it should not be.
In reply to: SimplePress ImportI was on Simple:Press v5.3.4 and have just now upgraded to v5.4.1
Tested the current bbPress v2.5.3 import using the SimplePress5 importer and everything worked fine.

SELECT post_id AS value_id, meta_value FROM sp_postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_bbp_forum_parent_id' AND meta_value > 0 LIMIT 0, 100This shouldn’t really cause any issues, worst case scenario you no longer have your forums grouped in their previous hierarchal structure.
The only other thing I can think of is maybe a SimplePress plugin/extension may have modified the database setup beyond the basic ‘out of the box’ setup I use.
You could also try reordering your SimplePress forums to force an update of their values in the database. Also try removing the forums from the groups and delete the groups. You can easily add the groups/categories again on the bbPress side once the import is completed successfully.
In reply to: Where to go for bbPress PHP help?I’d suggest you start with the docs in the codex.
It looks like you don’t need to know any PHP just yet 😉
