Hi guys.
On my current site I have exported forums, topics and replies via the WordPress built in export to XML function.
Then I am uploading these files to a new site with the same BBPress version and it looks like all goes well. When I go to Forums I can see all forums and how many topics they’ve got. But at the frontend the forums are empty when entering them.

I have run all the tools recount etc. and then every forum says 0 topics. I did map all users to existing users which I move prior to BBPress so I do not understand how this recount can reset all forums.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Hello everyone. I am using BBpress 2.5.14 with Buddypress 2.9.2 in a WordPress 4.9 and I have the following question.

On my website I have both entries and discussions marked as “downloads” and I would like to know if I can combine both formats on the same page or entry, of wordpress.
That is to say, when accessing a page, the entries with the category “Downloads” are listed and on the same page the forum “Downloads” with the debates.

Listing entries is not a problem, the problem is whether I can include the forum “downloads” on the same page.

Thanks and regards.

This is the error I am getting when clicking on a forum topic.

We are using the twenty seventeen theme and building pages using Optimizepress and building a forum using BBPress. We are also using a plugin for OptimizePress bbPress fix to Allow rendering of forums on OptimizePress blog, however we are not building a blog; but a webpage for a forum using wordpress.

Wordpress V4.9
BBPres v2.0-rc-3

JJCohenMembership.com

Currently we are still building and do not have it public and therefore no way to get to the forum page except thru the direct link:

JMEMBERS FORUM PAGE

Help please.

Hi

I’ve looked around support forum here and also carefully through my localhost installation (where my bbpress forum is currently installed for test purposes) and I’m dashed if I can work out how to use .htaccess to password protect the entire forum.

I’m aware that there are other ways to authenticate users but some of my clients website visitors are young people and we are keen to ensure that access to the website forum is restricted most severely. By this I mean we wanted to place the forum in its own directory and then place .htaccess and .htpasswd in that directory to limit access to individuals who had personally been handed a note of what the username and password were.

Might I ask if I’ve missed something simple? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day

I somehow broke the page layout of my topic index and topic pages.

you have done something – the right sidebar is wrapped within the left hand stuff.

Since I don’t know what you have don to muck it up, it’s hard to suggest what to do to fix it.

If you haven’t directly edited anything, then something you have done within wordpress/theme/plugins/updates.

we have the same bug again after the update

[Robin W]

I go to login to my forum and it redirects me to the user dashboard of WooCommerce.

just tried it and it seemed fine – is woocommerce active?

Plus the BBPress toolbar no longer will appear at the top so people can’t see the links to their profile and forums.

not sure quite what you mean by the bbpress toolcar – do you mean the wordpress one?

Hello all,

I somehow broke the page layout of my topic index and topic pages. The sidebar should be on the right, but it looks like WordPress is drawing the gray line separator on the left of the page, and pushing all the sidebar content to the bottom. Example: https://www.parentifact.org/forums/forum/questions/

I thought this was due to some code I put in the style.css and functions.php to style my archive pages, but I removed that code and it’s still messed up. Has anyone experienced this before, or could someone more knowledgeable look at the source and developer tools to figure out what’s going wrong here?

Thanks!

[Robin W]

suggest you try :

bbp style pack

and come back with any remaining issues.

I’ve reduced you queries to this one

I have been struggling with this strange problem. We use bbpress with wordpress. Nobody (except for the site admin) can create a topic or reply in the forum containing the word “breast”. We have to intentionally misspell it as “breastt” or something like that. We have uninstalled Akismet. We do not have any spam filter or content filter plugins. Also checked Settings – Discussion, and Comment Moderation and Comment Blacklist are entirely empty. Any idea what is blocking this word? Thanks!

Hi,

We’ver recently launched our site, http://www.theknightsrequiem.com. Our site usses both buddypress and bbpress. We are having an issue with cover photos being uploaded to users profiles.

When you try to upload the photo, you get a progress bar, like you would see any other time. However it never appears, you just receive the message
“For better results, make sure to upload an image that is larger than 0px wide, and 225px tall.”

Again no image is actually uploaded or displayed. However, we can upload user profile photos.

We are running WordPress 4.8.2
Our theme is Game Addict by Skywarrior
Potential plugins that could be affecting this, Buddypress itself, bbpress.

Thank you for your time and help.

This is probably a very simple question. I have different types of users / subscription levels on my forum. How can I write them emails out of wordpress ?

[ipullrank]

Hey All,

I’m in the process of migrating an archaic and otherwise obsolete custom-built forum written in ASP to bbPress. The forum has been around for about 20 years and it was essentially a vBulletin clone. It has roughly 10 million posts and growing.

I’d exported CSVs of tables from the existing forum. We imported the users into the database and then associated them with the relevant posts. In the database now, wp_postmeta is 2.5 GB and wp_posts is 4.4 GB. Suffice to say everything is slower now, but the forum is 1200bps dialup modem slow.

I installed Query-Monitor to try and figure it out and this query is taking 53 seconds:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID
FROM wp_posts
INNER JOIN wp_postmeta
ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id )
WHERE 1=1
AND wp_posts.post_parent = 36005
AND ( wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘_bbp_last_active_time’ )
AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘topic’
AND ((wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’
OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘pending’
OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘closed’
OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘hidden’)
OR (wp_posts.post_status = ‘private’))
GROUP BY wp_posts.ID
ORDER BY wp_postmeta.meta_value DESC
LIMIT 0, 15

I spent time checking out this ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925 but wasn’t really left with an idea of what I should be doing to fix this. Not really sure where I should start in thinking about how to get this down to normal speed. I have this running on pretty stacked machine and DB instances on Google Cloud, but I’m open to any input around what the specs of the boxes need to be to handle this.

Also, we’re also migrating our e-commerce site to WooCommerce from Shopify, so speed is definitely a huge issue and I don’t want to have the whole site be slow just because of the forum.

Thanks for any help!

Hello, I am getting this exact same error as well. When I try to use Elementor I get a 500 error and must disable bbPress to use Elementor at all.

The bbPress version is 2.5.14, WordPress version 4.8.3. I’ve tried standard themes, that didn’t make a difference. We do have WooCommerce and User Role Editor installed, but I’ve tried deactivating all of them and bbPress is the only one giving me this same exact error.

It’s weird too because I just migrated this from a different server and I wasn’t getting the error there…

[mikedean]

A year later but here it is.

This assumes a drop down select menu has been added to the form-topic.php template. wp_dropdown_categories() is used to make a <select> element for all the terms in the categories taxonomy so users can assign the topic to a term.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories

Then, the topic is assigned to the term they selected by hooking into the new topic process.

/**
 * Assign a taxonomy term to a topic after it has been selected in the front end (using a <select> element).
 *
 * @param Int           $topic_id               The id for the current topic being created.
 * @param Int           $forum_id               The id for the current forum the topic is being created in.
 * @param Int           $anonymous_data         ??
 * @param Int           $topic_author           The id of the user who created the topic.
 *
 * @see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories
 */

//Update the taxonomy terms when a new topic is created or edited.
add_action( 'bbp_new_topic', 'myprefix_assign_category_to_post', 20, 4 );

function myprefix_assign_category_to_post( $topic_id, $forum_id, $anonymous_data, $topic_author ) {
        
        //Get the category submitted by the user
        $taxonomy_name = 'category';                    //the slug, or machine name, or the taxonomy
        $term_id = intval( $_POST['cat'] );             //Get value from the <select> element as an interger

        //@TODO error checking if term or taxonomy does not exists (returns false if so)
        $term_object = get_term_by( 'id', $term_id, $taxonomy_name );

        //Replace the existing subject with the selected one
        wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, array( $term_id ), $taxonomy_name, false );
}

Hello,

I just want to import my phpBB forum (version 3.2.0) to BBpress. I tried with “tools/import” but it doesn’t work. The tools didn’t import a single forum or topic.

How can I do this?

Another question : how can I increase the size of the font in BBpress? I would have the same size as this forum, on wordpress.org. The original size is really too small.

Thanks a lot.

It is shocking how bad this forum aspect of WordPress is Amazing that consumers put up with it, really.

oh how I agree that something that has taken a lot of people a lot of time to write for free, is maintained for free, and supported for free, and has cost you nothing doesn’t do what you want. Absolutely disgusting and shouldn’t be allowed. Of course you could always crack the code open and help improve it, or perhaps it is easier to just easier to expect someone else to do that for you and just complain when it doesn’t.

[Caprilli]

I have the same thing.

I just don’t think this bbPress / BuddyPress stuff integrates well enough to be let loose on an active site with 5,000 daily visitors.

It’s a developer tool and starting point. A developer would reap the fees of getting it all to work well, while single users of WordPress just have the misery.

It depends what you mean by ‘People can create these courses and forums using our site’ – do you mean anyone, or just a select few who run this stuff?

Hidden forums will only be seen by users with moderator privilege, so that’s not what you’ll want for ordinary users.

closest you’ll get is my private groups plugin

Private groups

Many people use it to have course linked forums but it won’t do what you are asking if you want users to be able to administer the creation of forums. If it’s just a select few admikns who do this, then it might be good for you.

Make a child theme for your wordpress theme, copy the folder content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress into your child theme, edit the contents of that file as much as you need without affecting the actual plugin files.

it’s not a plugin, it becomes part of your actual theme, making your changes immune to updates for the most part.
