you set the default role in dashboard>settings>forums and when the users first log in the will get it allocated.

or go to

Dashboard>users>and amend their profile

or if you want to do it programmatically or directly in the database, then in usermeta you additionally set

wp_capabilities which already has their wordpress role, so you just add it to the array

to say

a:2:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;s:13:”bbp_keymaster”;b:1;}

a:2:{s:10:”subscriber”;b:1;s:15:”bbp_participant”;b:1;}

a:2:{s:6:”editor”;b:1;s:13:”bbp_moderator”;b:1;}

WordPress 4.8.1
bbPress 2.5.14
Running PHP v.7.1

I currently have bbPress disabled and now my sitemap works. I didn’t have this problem with the last version. I will search for it to install it again.

Edit:
Nope, just installed 2.5.13 and still have a sitemap error. Is there a place to get an even older version or do I just need to go with mybb?

there is a free version of this

Hi guys,

More than two years ago I posted the following bug report:

Ajax validation issue for user auto-complete

A ticket was opened for this bug here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2864

The issue was marked as fixed and the bug closed; however, the bug is not actually fixed and is still present in the most recent release.

Here are the original details:

Context:

On the “Edit Topic” screen, there’s an “Author Information” box including an ID field. When you begin to type text into this box, the admin-ajax action “bbp_suggest_user” should auto-suggest potentially matching users.

Issue:
The user autosuggest is not returning any users, just “-1”. Having dug into the code, the step that’s failing is wp_verify_nonce() in check_ajax_referrer(), which is invoked on line 745 of bbPress file includes/admin/admin.php. The nonce is making it into wp_verify_nonce, but is not matching any expected/acceptable value – so wp_verify_nonce falls out the bottom with a failure.

If I remove the check_ajax_referrer step, the Edit Topic user auto-suggestion works perfectly so it’s definitely the nonce validation step that’s the problem.

Current context in which I’m still seeing the bug is WP 4.8.1 Multisite, bbPress 2.5.14, PHP 7.0.22. (I’ve been seeing the bug for over 2 years though, including with PHP 5.x).

Would be really grateful if this bug could be fixed in the next release, because I’m having to manually patch every release at the moment (I have a user whose job relies on this function working properly.)

Thanks!

Sorry to hear of the problem you are having.

It is working fine on my test site without any issue.

Could you please try fixing the issue as described in the following pages?

You can also try using the below upcoming version 2.6 of bbPress.

[John James Jacoby]

Just pushed RC 5 to WordPress.org.

Hoping this is the last one. <3

[Robin W]

you/something/someone/glitch/gremlins/corruption/permissions has stopped the file being there/seen.

Suggest you contact your host provider to restore back to an earlier version.

If you have ftp access, you could fix it that way, by renaming the bbpress plugin to say plugin-old which will stop wordpress using it and get you site back and working. You can then delete the bbpress plugin directory and re-install bbpress from the front end

Reply from MailChimp Support – I would agree this is a bbPress issue to address..

“Thanks for contacting us here in Support. I can certainly understand the concern there, and I’m happy to help out in any way I can.

In your forum post you mentioned that there is no issue when bbPress is not enabled. Based on that information, the issue seems to be related to a plugin conflict rather than an issue with pulling the RSS feed on our end. I recommend contacting bbPress’ support folks to see if they’re able to shed some light on how enabling the plugin will impact the feed. If not, I recommend trying out another plugin that would allow you to add a forum to your site. It’s possible that another plugin would not have this issue. ”

I replied asking them if they were sure they were not going to help and they came back to me and said:

“First, I’d like to clarify how MailChimp interacts with RSS feeds. When using an RSS campaign, MailChimp will pull the RSS feed shortly before the campaign’s scheduled sending time. The RSS merge tags pull content from the XML code for the RSS feed. The app cannot alter the appearance of the content in the feed. It will only display what appears in the code. If you’re not able to disable the plugin, it may be a good idea to consider another feed host to generate a URL that can be used in MailChimp.

While we’re happy to troubleshoot however we can, we’re limited in our support of third party systems. The bbPress plugin is not developed WordPress, but by bbPress Community. They’ll be the best resource on how to troubleshoot any plugin conflicts between bbPress and the site.

Please don’t hesitate to write back in if there is anything else I can help with, and I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for any replies.”

The ball is in your court bbPress – can anyone help me please?

I just got notice when I went to the backend of my wordpress site that there was an update. It was a bbpress update, so I clicked to install it and it broke my website. I can’t get to the plugins page or anything to uninstall the update. Please help! Even the front end of my website is down. http://mariealline.com.

It looked like it installed correctly, but I get a HTTP ERROR 500 when I try to access my homepage or any other page on the website.

“Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.5.14.zip…

Unpacking the update…

Installing the latest version…

Removing the old version of the plugin…

Plugin updated successfully.”

Thank you,

Hi all

I’m using the ‘Kleo’ WordPress theme on WordPress 4.7.5 and BBPress 2.5.13, and am trying to change the standard links to forums in BBPress as they are too difficult to read currently, specifically the ‘bbp-forum-link’ class.

What I’m trying to achieve is a background highlight on each link, with rounded corners, plus a little extra space between them using the following code:

color: #e4e4e4;
    background: #232323;
    padding: 1px 2px;
    margin: 2px 2px;
    line-height: 1.7;
    border-radius: 3px;

I have also put this image together of what I’m trying – https://imgur.com/OKO9pZ8

How would I put this code into the custom style.css file of Kleo to stylise these links, please?

No link to site as it is on my local host (MAMP PRO 4 if that helps)

Many thanks

[Robin W]

the issues is with the plugin bbpress-wp-tweaks, so you would need to ask for support from the plugin author on

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-wp-tweaks

I have a WordPress project that hasn’t been worked on for a year. Coming back to it today and fixing a few issues with plugin updates etc.

I have an ACF options page that has a repeater with post relationship fields. When logged in, the data is returned correctly in a get_field but when not logged in the fields are returning an empty array.

Disabling BBPress stops this issue.

Is there anything I can do here?

This is the same issue here: https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/relationship-field-objects-not-showing/

But that fix no longer works?

I have wordpress 4.8.1 + bbpress 2.5.13 with fresh installation. No plugin at all. When I click from control panel “All forums” it will redirect me to white blank page.

What I have tried:
Re-install the wordpress.
Re-install bbpress.
Deleting the whole website and the database and make another one.

Also if I put the short code of the forum that I made inside any page it will show the forums. but if I clicked on any forum it will show white blank page! Any help here?!

[Gunilla]

I have a WordPress multisite (4.8.1) with a bbPress forum (2.5.13). The php.errors.log show a memory leakage (PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 805306368 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) ).

I have inactivated the plugins one after the other and it seems that bbPress is causing the leakage.

In the wp-config.file it stands:
define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’ , ‘512M’ );
In the .htaccess-file it stands:
php_value upload_max_filesize 256M
php_value post_max_size 256M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value memory_limit 768M

Is memory leakage a common problem in bbPress? How do I solve the memory problem without leaving this forum plugin?

[ulferlingsson]

For some reason some users get registered without an assigned forum role, like 50% maybe. When I try to change the forum role of a group of users it does not work, I have to open each user page individually and change it, and that is a PITA when you have hundreds of accounts that need to be changed. Using bbPress 2.5.13 and WordPress 4.8.1, also installed BuddyPress

We are using bbpress 2.5 on WordPress 2.8.1. We are using bbPress for both the WordPress Comments/Replies and a regular forum.
When creating a topic in the regular forum, I see that all the replies appear above the original post. We need the original post to stay on the top for the forum.
How can we accomplish this?

Thank you.

[stuffmartusa]

I created a forum, but when I click on “all forums” to edit my forum, I get a “This page isn’t working” error.

I have already tried to resave my permalinks, but the problem still exists.

I am using the Kleo theme, but the problem still exists when using theme twenty twelve and any theme I try.

Using bbpress Version 2.5.13
Wordpress Version 4.8.1

Hello.
I am using the latest version of bbPress on WordPress 4.8.1
How do I remove the sidebar from the Forum pages?
Thank you

[relicenterprize]

Tried deactivating all plugins and still doesn’t show up. They are in the front but no access from admin. The only thing may be the new WordPress update???

[Robin W]

It will be something that has changed – so what have you (or wordpress) updated or added ?

[Vinod Dalvi]

@sovvyg Please delete and reinstall the latest version of bbPress plugin. Also please clear the autoptimize cache that you are using on your site.

This can be your theme issue so to confirm it just temporary use the default WordPress theme like Twenty Seventeen on your site. If everything works fine then it’s your theme issue.

[Vinod Dalvi]

Are you using the shortcode provided by following plugin?

bbp style pack

If yes then Could you please contact the plugin author here https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack

[Vinod Dalvi]

Does the default WordPress RSS field works fine for you?

Could you please contact mailchimp support regarding this?
