It seems to achieve this you have to use plugin like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/cbxuseronline/ and develop some custom code.

Hello,

Sorry if this question has already been asked.

I have a WordPress website that has been custom developed on top of the Twenty Twelve WordPress theme. I want to migrate it to a new theme (on the same installation) and have been working out how to transfer the custom features to plugins.

The final step is the forum and I want to give bbPress a try but have no clue where to begin with. The forum posts are using a custom post type and are stored in the wp_posts table in the database.

I read about the custom importer, but I am not a developer and kind of got overwhelmed. Is there anyone who has done this before and can perhaps share their process step by step. I should be able to work it out from there.

Thank you in advance.

After further digging into the code I’ve found the principal reason. It makes no difference if a member has created topics or not. The problem is the main query which always queries for posts. The 404 error appears if the user has not created any posts.

I’ve created a ticket: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3161

use my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

which has lots of settings, including this one

I just installed BBpress and it screwed up my RSS to Mailchimp feed.

My web site is set to create my newsletter automatically from my wordpress site’s RSS feed.

However, when the BBpress plugin is enabled Mailchimp makes a mess of the formatting and displays unnecessary text from the RSS feed (looks like the body text).

Disable BBpress and it works fine again.. The issue only started after I installed bbpress for the first time.

Any ideas? I’n not sure where to go from here..

Thanks
Rob

Hi, could you please help me, is there any CSS code to hide that line on the top of every forum page? It looks like this: Home > Forum > Topic…

I use bbPress 2.5.13 and wordpress 4.8.1

My forum is here: http://www.cyklokopce.sk/forums/forum/info-o-trasach-lokalitach/

And the line is Domov › Diskusné Fóra › Info o trasách, lokalitách…

Thank you!

Daniel

Hello,
I am using bbPress 2.5.13
I need to use a shortcode to put my forum on a page in wordpress. The shortcode options in bbp style pack will display the topic index but they will not display the Create a New Topic form or Link, like the regular Forum page does. See screenshots for examples.

I used All In One Migration tool to create a local version of a WordPress site I am working on.

I am using these versions:
WordPress 4.6.6
BuddyPress 2.7.0
bbPress 2.5.10

The forum comes up fine, but when I try to post in my local instance, it is not working. The post does not go to the database, and I don’t see any errors (even in debug mode) using the Enfold theme.

I tried with the Twenty Fourteen theme and I see an error when I submit a post that just says:
“ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that? ”

What does that mean? How can I debug this?

Thanks!

my style pack has a setting for this

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>topic/reply form>item 9

The shared Elegant Themes support topic page is not accessible for us as it is members only.

As this functionality works fine with default WordPress 2015 theme so it is not bbPress plugin issue. This seems conflict issue with Divi theme, may be due to not following WordPress standards so please contact the theme author to resolve the issue in the theme.

[Vinod Dalvi]

Could you please post here what version of PHP you are using on your server?

Can you please try temporary enabling WP_DEBUG mode? To do this, just go to wp-config.php include this:

define('WP_DEBUG',true);

You might already have a line for WP_DEBUG, so just make sure it’s set to true.

Let me know what errors if any you are getting when you face this issue.

It doesn’t seem bbPress issue but the Image Upload for BBPress Plugin related so please contact Image Upload for BBPress Plugin author regarding this.

You can contact him here https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/image-upload-for-bbpress

[Vinod Dalvi]

You can achieve this using below custom code in your site and editing the text “This is custom text” to whatever you want to display.

function vvd_add_notice_before_topic_form() {
    ?>
        <div class="custom-text">
          <p>
            <?php _e( "This is custom text." ); ?>
          </p>
        </div>
    <?php
 }
 add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices', 'vvd_add_notice_before_topic_form' );

You can add that code either in the functions.php file in child theme or in small custom plugin.

Hi there,

I am currently using the below versions of WordPress and BBPress:
BBPress version 2.5.12
Image Upload for BBPress Plugin version 1.1.14
WP version 4.8.1

My website is myfertilityfocus.com (the forum is for members only).

When I originally installed the ‘Image Upload for BBPress’ plugin, there was an option for setting the dimensions of the image that was being uploaded to a post. Now this seems to have disappeared. If a member wants to post an image, there is no way for them to set the dimensions. Do you know what has happened here? Images are ending up way too big on members’ posts!

You can try the following solutions.

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

[moejonet]

If you are logged in as Administrator and there are private/hidden forums, on the forums page there are listed all available post statuses in wordpress even if there are no posts.

This is caused by the filter ‘bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility’.

IT checks for

$_REQUEST['post_status'])

but initial this variable is not set.

Please fix that. I made a temporary fix including condition

( isset( $_REQUEST['post_status']) || current_user_can( 'administrator') )

[Vinod Dalvi]

I have tested it on my test site and it’s working fine for me using latest version of bbPress plugin.

Please make sure you are using latest version of bbPress plugin.

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

Also this can be due to plugin conflict on your site so please try temporary deactivating all plugins except Unyson plugin and see whether everything works fine and then enable the plugins one by one to see which plugin is conflicting if any.

Could you please share me your site URL where it’s happening so that i can troubleshoot it?

I’ve just started my forum on WP. And made two forums with 1 or 2 topics/posts.

When I tried to search any word (which I know is there in the topics/forums) in ‘Forums Search’ widget, what I get is my latest WP blog post. Doesn’t matter whether that blog post has that ‘searched word’ in it or not.

Can anybody tell what’s going on here?

P.S. My wordpress search is going as it should.

[Vinod Dalvi]

It’s hard to help you without accessing your site but please try using below CSS code on your site as described here http://freewptp.com/how-to-use-custom-css-in-wordpress-site/ to reduce spacing.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-info .bbp-forum-content {
    margin: 0 !important;
}

[Vinod Dalvi]

Please make sure you have uploaded files to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ of your WordPress installation. If the /wp-content/languages/ and /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ folders do not exist, create them.

Also please rename each file of the files to bbpress-language_COUNTRY.extension

eg. bbpress-plugin-pt-br.po to bbpress-pt_BR.po
and bbpress-plugin-pt-br.mo to bbpress-pt_BR.mo.
Note: Ensure you use the – and _ in the correct place per the above example.
