Hi there,

I have been using wordpress for the last year. In October I took over the completion of a site for a company I am working for. I set up a forum on the website using bbpress. All has worked fine until recently. Yesterday my boss pointed out an error on the forums page. See error here

I began trying to fix it by remaking the page, using different shortcodes and changing/refreshing settings. All my other shortcodes that I’m using on my website are working fine, and when I use a shortcode for a different plugin in the same place on this page, it works fine. The shortcode I have been using is [bbp-forum-index]. I don’t know what caused it to stop working, as I have not installed any new plugins since before it has stopped working.

WordPress 4.9.6 running Sydney theme.

Thanks @netweb, I have submitted that ticket that now: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3201

[Stephen Edgar]

Sure, start by ceating a ticket on Trac @mbv https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

p.s I don’t see it being a high priority from the team right now, we’d be happy to take a look at any patches submitted and go from there of course though.

Thanks for your response @alexkevin. I did see that old post and it partly helped.

I did finally end up getting the migration to work with the WordPress Importer by exporting and importing ALL the content (instead of just forums, topics, replies) from the old website. When I only exported the forums, topics, and replies from the old, they weren’t linking properly.

[cinderalla]

I’ve been working 2 days on trying to import a bbPress 2.5 forum into an existing website. My last attempt was manually changing and relinking all the forums, topics, and replies in the WordPress Importer’s exported xml files.

Everything looks good in respect to showing correct topic, post, reply, and voice counts. What I can’t figure out is why the topics and replies don’t list on the child forum pages or on the topic pages. Those pages say at the top the correct number topics and replies (i.e. “This forum contains 10 topics and 16 replies, and was last updated …), but directly under that it says “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

I’m guessing that I’m missing some sort of ID linking that doesn’t show on the xml export. Please, can anyone help? Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

[cinderalla]

Wondering if adding a bbPress 2.x to bbPress 2.x importer will happen? If not, could you lead me in another direction after reading what I’ve already tried?

The bbPress Import Export Plugin by wpfloor does not link the topics and replies to the forums when importing into an existing site.

I have also tried using the WordPress Importer, then manually linking the topics and replies using PHPMyAdmin. Everything appeared to be linked properly in the backend after that. However, the topics and replies wouldn’t show in the frontend.

Hi again,
Thank you to bbpress.org who sent me the following reply:

“To flag such posts, you can make use of WordPress’s comment moderation and blacklisting settings for bbPress.”

But that’s just a way for admins to flag posts, isn’t it?

Is there any way for users to report abusive posts, like on Twitter?

[Alex Kevin]

one of the plugin I am using to hide my admin panel URL (wp-admin) for WordPress site, its WPS Hide Login but I am not sure if it is also used in forums or not!!

[allinfoyouneed]

There are lots of plugins offered by WordPress, which offers service to comment without submission of the web link.

Hello there!

Ever since starting to work with bbPress (and Learnpress), all new users were assigned the site roles ‘subscriber, and participant’ and the forum role ‘instructor’.

I don’t want all forum users to have the role ‘instructor’, since they aren’t. I have checked, but my default is really set to participant.

See screenshots:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1EAzfa2gQLyv20hmCVHGW65ueb8KBNUyV

How can I make sure people will be assigned a normal forum role instead?

My current versions (but I have had this issue for about 1,5 years now):

WordPress 4.9.6
BbPress Version 2.5.14
BuddyPress Version 3.0.0
LearnPress Version 3.0.8
LearnPress BbPress integration Version 3.0.1
LearnPress BuddyPress integration Version 3.0.2

When the Search EVerything plugin is activated, the topics won’t appear. What I did was deactivated all the plugins and reactivated them one by one to see what causes the problem. It was the Search Everyhing plugin.

I also deactivated the “Allow forum wide search” from the forum settings but it’s the same.

By the way, I am using the bbpress plugin inside a multisite. I’m not sure if that helps or not.

Is there a way to fix this?

[ashley41088]

I would like to be able to put some text information above my forum on my forum page. Does anyone know how to go about doing that in WordPress??

There should be a way to make your page with text above the forum.
Please help! Any idea would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Running WordPress 4.9.5, bbPress 2.5.14, Buddypress 2.9.4

Forums are randomly becoming inaccessible to logged-in users, displaying only the “no topics found” message despite showing the appropriate number of topics in the forum listings. Most forums are rendered inaccessible when the error occurs, but not all. Forums that remain accessible show no obvious difference in configuration or status from the forums that display the “no topics found” message.

Problem persists regardless of theme or plugin configuration.

• I’ve tried both wpfix plugins, neither fixed the problem.
• I tried deactivating and reactivating all plugins on the actual site to no effect, then created a clone of the site and deactivated and deleted all plugins except bbPress, Buddypress, and the wpfix plugins. The problem persists.
• I’ve switched to the latest version of Twentyseventeen and the problem persists.
• I’ve tried using both Forum Tools and Buddypress tools to repair issues, to no effect.
• Also tried resetting permalinks, no effect

The only thing that repairs the issue is switching each forum to public, saving the forum, then returning the forum to private status and saving again. Bulk edit doesn’t work — only updating each forum individually.

After being fixed, the forums sometimes slip back into inaccessibility, even if no change has been made to the forum itself.

Any help in fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We are using bbPress Version 2.5.14 on our website at http://www.nationalbraille.org/forums using WordPress. Everything is latest version and all is up to date.

I’d like to add a list of site rules on this page just above the list of groups. I thought I’d find it in the list of Pages on our website, but it’s not there, and the Settings for bbPress don’t give me an option either.

Is this just not possible?

[blackriverinc]

After activating bbPress plugin:

– no “Welcome” page appears
– No “Forums” menu appears in admin bar
– No “Forums” appears in Settings sub-menu
– Any “Forum” activity from Dashboard, results in error: “Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.”
– Administrator” accounts are given new role: Keymaster, but Keymaster role appears to have no Forums capabilities; adding capabilities does not change behavior described above.

Hi!

I am trying to make any topics and replies submitted on the front end have a default category (I have extended the custom post type of bbPress to support categories). This works for everything submitted on the back end, but not everything submitted on the front end. I have played around with this a lot, and have not made any progress.

I am using WordPress 4.9.5, bbPress 2.5.14 and the site I am working on (locked so this link probably won’t do any good) is https://gateway.aishasalem.com

    // adding possibilities to have categories for custom post types
    public function gt_custom_post_type_categories() {
      register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'topic' );
      register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'reply' );
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'gt_custom_post_type_categories', 11 );

And this code to assign the categories as default when a post is saved / published. It works on the back end, but only partially on the front end.

    // setting default post catagory when saving
    public function gt_set_default_category( $post_id, $post, $update ) {

        // Slugs of the custom post types
        $slugs = array('topic', 'reply');
        // current post type
        $current_post_type = $post->post_type;

        // If this post isn't a custom posty type, don't update
        if ( !in_array($current_post_type, $slugs) ) {
          return;
        }

        // Sets the default category depending on the current post type
        switch ($current_post_type) {
          case 'topic':
            $default_category = 'livingroom-topics';
            break;
          case 'reply':
            $default_category = 'livingroom-replies';   // does not hook in on the fron end
            break;
          default:
            return;
        }

        // sets the default category
        $default_term = get_term_by('slug', $default_category, 'category');
        wp_set_object_terms(get_the_ID(), $default_term->term_id, 'category');
    }
    add_action( 'save_post', 'gt_set_default_category', 9, 3 );

I have tried hooking into ‘bbp_new_reply’ but this doesn’t seem to help (maybe I am doing it wrong). Do you have any advice of how to do this? Where to hook into? If it should be a filter and a function of a different form (if so, please give as much info as possible, I am new to php wordpress and especially filters)?

Thank you so much!!

Hi Friends

I had recently started a blog on WordPress. Now I want to start a discussion froum that is fully compatiable with the installed wordpress. Right now, the option available with me is SMF forum ( this is because I am already using it for other website). But in this case, forum and website will work seprately.

So, I have decided to drop the plan of SMF forum and look something similar to it and related to WordPress.

To simply, I am looking for the forum which will get easily intergrated with my blog

Of course, it should get fully integrated with the wordpress.

Will bbpress with suffice my purpose. Please guide me in installing it on my wordpress. Sorry for the bad english. English is not my first language.

Jetpack seems to work; running it dev mod so no login require to wordpress account.

Initially was using because jetpack was causing template formatting issue but now seem that is not the case.

In setting I only selected topics and it worked so far.

Robin, I installed the bbp-style-pack plugin. But there is not option to edit a single forum link. I saw options to change home link and forums link.

I created a Single forum page with short code: [bbp-single-forum id=12]. I disabled the forums slug on the bread crumbs
step 1: Home Page › Student Forum
step 2: Home Page › Student Forum › Features of Site Wide Forum

From here when I click on the student forum it redirects me to the student forum and not the page I created with the student forum short code in it.

wordpress version: WordPress 4.9.5
bbpress version: Version 2.5.14

I created a Single forum page with short code: [bbp-single-forum id=12]

from the single forum page I navigate to one of the topics. when I click on the single forum page link it redirects me to the single forum but not to the page I created. I disabled the forums links in the bread crumbs. Is there a way to edit the link for the single forum so that I could point it the page I created.

step 1: Home Page › Student Forum
step 2: Home Page › Student Forum › Features of Site Wide Forum

Hi Everyone, I am super frustrated with BBPress… I have been working on my forum and whenever anyone replies, the reply goes to the top of the page in a white box. And, whenever a new reply comes in, it replaces the previous reply at the top of the page with the new reply. I have the threading section of WordPress already enabled so I am confused on why the reply is even going there at all. PLEASE HELP ME!! I cant find any information on any previous questions on the blog here and nobody from wordpress has successfully been able to help me.

here is a link as to what I am talking about.
