The site looked fine until we updated to WP 4.8. Topics became cramped under forum and received an error message when trying to create a topic or reply to a topic at front end. Same error when trying to access forums at back end. Topics at back end show no topics.

Deleted the plugin, reinstalled and started fresh with a new theme. Still see the same old content and get the same error. This is the error message:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1800 Stack trace: #0 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query)) #1 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array) #2 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(1683): do_action_ref_array(‘pre_get_posts’, Array) #4 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(3248): WP_Query->get_posts() #5 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp.php(617): WP_Query->query(Array) #6 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/class-wp.php(735): WP->query_posts() #7 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-includes/functions.php(955): WP->main(Array) #8 /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-admin/includes/ in /home/rsgtoday/public_html/forum/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on line 1800

At this point, we would like to get rid of the content that is on the site now and rebuild the forum. The forum site is to be part of a multi-site network of three WordPress sites, so it is critical to get it working. Have read your documentation and will need the right sidebar on the forum.

If you know when a user does this then if you install

bbP Toolkit

you can go to users>user>subscriptions and unassign them from all forums and topics with a couple of clicks

[danatupserve]

When users link to our posts within a topic or reply, wordpress is embedding the post within the reply via an iFrame. (As in, you can see a preview of the post.

How do we prevent internal links from being embedded while still allowing YouTube etc to be embedded.

Thanks,
Dan

bbpress uses the worpress login, so that should all work, Just make sure you set the default role to participant in the settings>forums

and to clarify from the WSL documentation

WSL will take the user in a short journey to the selected social network to ask for his permission to access his profile. If he does, and if everything goes as expected, WSL will create a new account for the user if he doesn’t have one already, authenticate him within WordPress, then redirect him back to where he come from.

so it should work.

The user should be allocated the participant role on first login

Just yelling back at me like I am some dumbass that you don’t want something doesn’t get us any further forward.

Now if this isn’t working and you have checked my original suggestion then do please come back with a polite response and I will be delighted to help further.

We use a membership script integrated with WP and BBP. When users unsubscribe from emails in script, they still get email notifications from bbp (topic replies, etc). This is bad.

It’s easy for us to mass-assign these members to a custom role. Is there a way to prevent bbp from sending emails to these users who have this custom role?

I see here that you can create functions for creating new capabilities (for User Role Editor plugin):

User Role Editor WordPress plugin – Change roles easily

Is there a function, or another method I can use to prevent bbp from sending of all emails for users who have specific custom role?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi there,

Is it possible to have all “Topics” (so NOT the “Reaction Posts”) made by “Participants” approved (by a bbPress “Moderater”) before they are published?.

I read some post about this and see this plugin: /wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/ –> BUT this is 4 years old! I would normaly NEVER use this old versions on a large commercial website. Plus it seems that this plugin let me also approve the reaction posts and this is not workable for us.

I am running WordPress 3.7.5 with bbPress 2.6-rc-3 on PHP 7.1.x With > 200 Forums

Thx in advance for helping me out.

p.s. is this maybe a nice feature for a nex bbPress version say 2.6-rc-4 😉

best regards,

I have rolled out my blog realoutdooradventure.com. Wow BBPress was so easy to setup and use. No for the hard part. I want people to log via WordPress Social Login and I have set it up for Facebook, Google + and Twitter. Easy Right? How do I get it to finally integrate with BBPress? Because right now nobody can start a Post besides me and that’s no good right?

Any Advice?

[windwardoaks]

windwardoaksontherez.website/ I have created a homeowner’s website with both blog posts and forums. When I activate the bbPress, the blog feed grays out on the home screen and the news link on the menu opens a blank page. Users who login can see the blogs but the public view is missing. I don’t have anything setup restricting the post pages or the forums.

If I deactivate the plugin, then both the logged in members and the public can see the blog posts, but then, of course, I don’t have forums. Any idea what is causing this to happen?

WordPress 4.8, bbPress 2.5.12,

I see you found the correct forum for the bbp-messages plugin 🙂

So, yeah, not a bbPress issue 🙂

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

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!

Hi there. I am new to WordPress and this plug in. Setting up up site and there is two different user types that will be logging in, and I want one set of users to be able to see certain forums and the other not as it is private to one set of users, is this possible? Any help would be awesome.

[kriskl]

maybe you did not enable an option in wordpress settings to allow registrations?

[Techknowledgic]

I figured out the issue in the permalinks. I wanted to remove the word “Category” from the links of the posts so I found an article in WordPress support forums that I have to write a dot “.” in the field
Category base in the permalinks and it worked to remove the word category

but now I tried to remove the dot and the word category is back to the links but the issue of the bbpress is fixed. so the issue was with that “.”

How can I remove the word category from the links then without the dot?

[rchristman17]

I installed bbpress in my site and followed instructions to create a new forum page from the main menu on my front page. Then I followed a tutorial to drop the log-in, register, and lost password widgets on my main sidebar that appears on every page, including the forum page. The problem I’m having is that when I test the registration from another computer, WordPress tells me that it cannot register new users? Did I do something wrong, or is it a temporary problem on WP end? I would assume I set something up wrong.

Thanks.

[rideshareguides]

Are you still keeping this plugin alive and updating? It’s compatible up to WordPress version 4.7.5 and 4.8 is out now. This plugin was last updated 7 months ago. My newly created forum became broken with the update to WP 4.8. Would like to know if you plan to update or should I look for other options for a forum site.

Hi,

I am using the current wordpress version and bbpress 2.5.12. Great product. When I look through how to edit user capabilities via coding, it does not work. Maybe some of the coding is outdated as there is no capabilities.php file to edit. When I use role editing plugins, bbpress roles and functions appear but they dont apply to my website. Any ideas?

[Robin W]

use my style pack plugin that will let you change lots of things

bbp style pack

[daoist]

Hi,

I am very new to BBpress and any coding of anything. But I have edited wordpress through trial and error.

How do I start editing changing bbpress font easily? is there a plugin I can add? Please speak in simple terms – I have looked at the guides, but they are way too complex for me – and information overload.

I just want to play with the way the forum looks – and major part of it for me is font size and font type.

Please help.

Hi,
I’m currently running bbPress 2.6-beta-2 and WordPress 4.8 (I switched to the beta because it solved an issue that I ran into earlier during development).

I’m attempting to import bbPress forum content from an old SQL database into bbPress forums using a hand-rolled Perl script that maps the exported CSV fields to the fields in wp_posts and key/value pairs in wp_postmeta.

The Results and Issue
1. On the admin Topics page, my Topic is shown connected to the correct parent forum.
2. I can also view the topic page and comment on the topic.
3. But the imported Topic doesn’t appear in the forum when displayed on the site.

Here are the fields that I’ve successfully imported data into:

FOR FORUMS wp_posts:
post_author
post_date
post_date_gmt
post_content
post_title
post_status
post_name
post_type

FOR TOPICS wp_posts:
post_author
post_date
post_date_gmt
post_content
post_title
post_status
post_name
post_type
post_parent

FOR TOPICS wp_postmeta:
_bbp_forum_id
_bbp_topic_id

When I update the Topic and the forum, WordPress creates additional meta_keys/values for each entry, but the Topic still doesn’t appear in the forum.

Questions: Are there other meta-keys/values I need in wp_postmeta, or any other key/values in any other table to get the Topic to appear? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Angela

WordPress version 4.8
bbPress version 2.5.12
Site URI: Localhost (I can create a temp vpn tunnel to the site if needed.)

Hi,

I am confused about the following setup and theme page template/bbPress weirdness.

I have installed bbPress and set the forum root to “support” and saved changes.
Then I created a page with the exact same name “support“. The slug matches the page name and reads: www.mysite/support/
In this page I have added the bbpress short code [bbp-forum-index]

With the current theme I have the option to choose a page template with or without a sidebar. When I set the page template to “sidebar“, the sidebar does NOT display.

When I change the “forum root” from “support” to “forums” and leave the page name and template choice as is, the sidebar does display.

The same applies when I do not change the Forum root and leave it as “support“, but I remove the bbPress shortcode [bbp-forum-index]. The page “support” does show the sidebar.

I am wondering if I am doing something wrong with either setting the Forum root slug and the page name to the exact same; “support“.

Maybe this is not possible and leads to url/permalink confusion in WP/bbPress and it instead uses the “standard” page template (which doesn’t utilises any sidebars in the current theme I am using.)

In the end what I would like to see is the following (if possible at all.);

When you visit the site’s support page the url/slug read: www.mysite.com/support/
The page title matches the slug: “Support” and it uses the sidebar page template.

In this page the support questions are shown by freshness and the breadcrumb actually displays “home >> support“, not “home >> forums“.

Thanks in advance for any help in explaining the Forum root and page name scheme/setup.
