No response in nearly 5 days is leaving me rather concerned to use bbPress. Is this the ussual support response-time?

Anyway, I figured out a workaround using a plugin called PHP Code Widget.

The plugin I am using is: https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-code-widget/

An example of one of the codes I am using is:

<?php
$forum_id = get_the_ID();
$forum_add_topic='[bbp-single-topic id ="'.$forum_id.'"]';
echo do_shortcode($forum_add_topic);
?>

BuddyPress version: 2.6.2

A client of ours said that their forum has been down for about week now. The link to the forum specifically, is above in the last bullet point.

Any idea why this would be the case?

Hi All

Just wanted to check if someone could give me an update on the Tapatalk plugin?

I have a WP+bbPress site and had planned to use the current Tapatalk plugin v1.4 for WP and Forums (whatever that means). But it doesn’t seam that easy.

1. There is an existing Tapatalk Plugin (v1.4) that could be installed in WP.
2. Plugin Support forum + google give me the impression that very few are using it.
3. Most search results go back to 2015 and earlier…referring to one WP Plugin plus one bbPress plugin from Tapatalk.
4. I have not managed to connect to the plugin from the Tapatalk Console.
5. Tapatalk support say that WP is not supported at the moment. Unclear why the plugin is still available and if it should work at all.

So, it would be very much appreciated if someone could share a little bit of light on this.

Best

The site is inpressioni.it
Any help will be appreciated.

I have a membership site which I am using bb press and BuddyPress

I am using the kleo theme
WordPress version 4.8

I have had an issue with replying to posts in from the forum on my dashboard

I have a section on my dashboard where I pull replies and new topics from the forum using the kleo posts.
I can view the posts and click into and read but I cannot reply from there and I need to go into the post in the forum and reply there

Does anyone have a fix

Thanks

Sorry for the long winded rambling

knowing nothing about NeonCRM, I would have no idea, and suspect you will struggle to get an answer to this. bbpress uses custom post types, but otherwise is wordpress, so the answer should be the same as it would be for a wordpress post if that helps.

Hi.
I have an XML file containing messages (title, date, author and body). I’ve considered three methods of importing these messages into bbPress:

1. Into the database. I’ve written a PHP script to automate that but because the messages are in Hebrew then the encoding causes the text to be gibberish. When that problem was solved, topics that were inseted into the wp_posts table didn’t appear in the forum page.

2. Using the custom importing method. The database structure required to import the messages isn’t really understandable, how should my database be organized in order to transition my data from one database into WordPress’?

3. Using POST requests. I managed to parse the POST request the posting form does in order to make requests of my own. This is complicated, however, due to use of session cookies.

Right now the option that seems the best to me is (2). Instead of messing with encoding issues or session cookies, I need to create a second database but the question is: in which way should my data be organized? How are the IDs working? I didn’t really manage to catch all of that using the docs available here.

1. what are you clicking to get ‘registration is disabled?

2. have a further look at dashboard>settings>general>membership>anyone can register

if that isn’t present come back (and confirm what version of wordpress you are using)

Hello Support,

http://www.imanicogic.com
Wordpress Version:4.7.5
BBPress Version: 2.5.12

This was tried on other themes and our WordPress Developer encouraged us to submit this to you.
==========================
We are trying to redirect Members, Groups, and Activity pages to a custom URL. We are using the following code:

function church_bp_page_template_redirect()
{

if( ! is_user_logged_in() && ! bp_is_activation_page() && ! bp_is_register_page() && (bp_is_current_component(‘members’) bp_is_current_component(‘activity’) bp_is_current_component(‘groups’))) {
wp_redirect( ‘/imani-secured-login/’ );
exit();
}
}

add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘church_bp_page_template_redirect’,10 );

However, when BBPress is active, this will not work and will always redirecting to Homepage but if BBPress is activated, the custom code will work perfectly.

Can you please check if there are any conflicts with Buddypress and BBPress in regards to template_redirect?

Thanks!

hi

Today I installed the bbpress plugin and converted all WordPress comments to bbpress topics.

It works for default post type, but what about custom post types? I trying show comments on that post types as bbpress topics, but unsuccessful.

Is that even possible?

CURRENT
We have a WordPress website that includes CiviCRM, WooCommerce and also BBPress forums plugins. We have no tech experts in our offices–much of the website management falls to me. I have a lot of WordPress experience, but I’m no developer by any means. Managing a regular failing system of integrated plugins inspired us to join up with Neon to abolish CiviCRM and Woo from our website, in hopes of streamlining the logins and profiles and having fewer things to break…and troubleshoot.

Currently, we have a) WordPress users, who have b) WooCommerce memberships affiliated with them, which also syncs with c) CiviCRM. Additionally, we have a BBPress fueled forum which is open and public for all to view, but requires a membership to actually post and reply to.

FUTURE
During our consults with Neon, we were told about a single-sign on plugin that links their CRM with our WordPress site. Earlier this week I began researching how to set that up and discovered a few roadblocks that concern me. I’m hoping you can help shed some light on how best we can utilize the single-sign on function and still maintain our current operation with as little interruption as possible to our membership.

What I’d like to know is:
Once I delete all of the WordPress users out of our website (they can’t be in place because their sign-on is dictated by NeonCRM), what happens to the data in BBpress forums? Those posts are associated with usernames, but if the usernames are deleted…. then what?

Then, is there a way to associate those posts with their NEW sign-on that is associated with NeonCRM?

We are running a membership site and are using bbPress within the site. We are running into the problem that admins are the only ones able to see threads. Anyone not an admin cannot read what’s in the topic. They can post a topic but cannot read anyone else’s.

I changed the memory limit but it did not improve. I changed templates and limited plugins to basic plugins only. Still it will not improve.

I enabled the debug mode and clicked the forum list, the following error was displayed.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php:1800 Stack trace: #0 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(298): bbp_pre_get_posts_normalize_forum_visibility(Object(WP_Query)) #1 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array) #2 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/plugin.php(515): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(1681): do_action_ref_array('pre_get_posts', Array) #4 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php(3238): WP_Query->get_posts() #5 /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-includes/class-wp.php(617): WP_Query->query(Array) in /home/users/MY-WORDPRESS/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/forums/functions.php on line 1800

I am using PHP 7.1, is not bbPress compatible with this?

[Robin W]

may be theme rather than plugin related, but try

bbp style pack

to do styling

can’t see the forum (get no topics), but you can fix the sidebar with

#sidebar .bbp-login-form label {
  width: 100%;
}

you can put this into the custom css part of your theme or in the custom css of the plugin above

I was installed bbPress 2.5.12 on WordPress 4.7.5.
Then I made various settings of bbPress and created a new forum.

But the forum is not displayed.
When entering the forum from “View forum” in the forum creation editor, the whole screen is pure white.
https://WORDPRESS-DOMAIN/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum

When I go directly to the URL of a separate forum, a normal WordPress site will be displayed.
In the main place, “Can’t find it, there is nothing here, please try the search.” is displayed.

Slug of forum root>Forum prefix part;
Even if I turn ‘Add slug’ on/off, nothing changes.

Management panel (left pane/dashboard) > Forum > Forum list or Add new forum
Here again the screen is nothing display.
Even when uninstalling plugin or reinstalling it, it does not change.

How do I use bbPress?

Forum Size out of whack. How do I make forum list and forums themselves width of page? Latest wordpress, php7.0.19, twenty sixteen theme.

[scrawny]

I’ve got 7 forums all named the same due to an issue mentioned in another post.

How do I remove all bbPress files from the mySQL database before installing bbPress again once it’s ready for PHP7.1?

Is there a plugin which will do this?

I’m running latest WordPress with php 7.0.19 and mySQL 5.6.35.

[Stephen Edgar]

You shouldn’t need to do any of the above, setting your WordPress install to use German as the default language should automatically download bbPress’ translations.

p.s. If you’re using the method above for a different reason, uploading them to wp-content/languages/bbpress instead of wp-content/languages/buddypress would be the answer 😉

I have ElasticPress and working for WordPress but not for bbpress. What do I need to do to get it working?

[andreas7777777]

Hello,

I run a very large community (ca. 3 Mio posts, 60k users) and using over 17 years Woltlab as community software. Basically, my community is a forum / discussion board, but also has a magazine, gallery and a marketplace.

As I work for many years with WordPress on other projects, I really like the pros in using an open system. Thats the total opposite of a software like WBB from Woltlab, and its getting worser and worser.

So, I really think its time for changing the system and that finally 😉 brings me to my questions:

1. There is no direct importer for Woltlab, right? As far as I read you must transfer the data to phpbb and then there is an importer phpbb >> bbpress, right?

2. How is the performance if you are running a very large community?

3. I watched a few sites that uses bbpress, but they only give me little impressions how the functionality of the software is. Is there a documentation on how the moderation works / what functions exists?

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Andreas

Could you expand on some of the configuration setup you’re using here please?

What version of WordPress are using?

I think you’re talking about the “front end” editor like here on bbPress.org?

Or maybe you’re using a plugin to enable TinyMCE, if so what plugin is it?

The above info should help us to reproduce the issue if you could please @jesus-1 🙂

[scrawny]

Same problem.

Site is running certified SSL and have had no issues with other plugins or wordpress itself.

Running PHP 7.1, latest version of bbPress

Problem exists in Firefox and Opera. Don’t use IE or Chrome.

Site is closed to public while in developement. Doesn’t seem to stop people accessing forum.

When clicking on Forums in Dashboard the url result is

https://mysimpleknitting.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum

Message on page is:

The mysimpleknitting.com page isn’t working

mysimpleknitting.com.com is currently unable to handle this request.

When I attempt to access forums from url directly:

When I type in https://mysimpleknitting.com/forums/

The result is the same error.

Clicking on Forums in the Settngs brings up the proper bbPress page.

Hoping someone has solved for this…

I’m trying to make sure that all single topic pages are unique for SEO purposes. Currently, topics simply have the format “Forum – [Forum Name] – [Site Name]”. I want to prepend the topic so that the meta title tag format is “[Topic Name] – [Forum Name] – [Site Name]”.

I do not want to use Yoast or any other plugin, as this should be a pretty simple change.

The problem I am having is two fold:

1. In functions.php, I am unable to use anything like is_bbpress() or bbp_is_single_topic() to tell if I am on a specific page.
2. I am unable to get the bbPress topic title ahead of the pre_get_document_title() function so that I can prepend it into the meta header.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is for a WordPress/BuddyPress/bbPress integration.

Thanks in advance
