I’ve been successfully running BP and the forum plugin for several years now.
I did not add any new plugins but of course have been installing updates as they come up.
Sometime in the past month I lost the ability to create a new topic on my forum. The forums are not super busy but I post a monthly contest thread so I know it worked fine a month ago.

No error is generated, the page just reloads. I’ve tried clearing my browser cache in Chrome. I tried using Edge. I went to an entirely different computer from which I’ve never access the site and tried from there using IE. Same result.

I’ve switched to default theme 2015 and I am able to post but I can’t go back and edit or update the post. I also can not reply to the post using the 2015 theme. I am attempting to contact the theme creator for support but there is still some issue with the default theme so I’m asking here too.

Another user was able to post a reply finally but I can’t edit my original post. This seems to affect users at random off and on and then resolves itself but I have no idea what is happening.

Is there some place I can see what plugins were last updated so I can try disabling them?

I’m on my own domain, multi site install.
Apache Version 2.2.31
PHP Version 5.4.45
MySQL Version 10.1.22-MariaDB-cll-lve
bbPress 2.5.12-6148
Wordpress 4.8

Hi @atmojones

I too am very interested in this ‘autocomplete tag’ enhancement for bbpress too. I’m new to WordPress, but it sounds like it would be indispensable if you are running a forum and don’t want your Users to make a mess of your tagging system Did you have any luck with finding a solution?

[KennyThemap]

This problem suddenly arose recently. Eventually tracked it down to the PHP version I was using. I had php 7.1.3 was was designated as ‘Leading (edge)’. Went back to 5.6.30 which was designated as ‘Stable’ and all is well on 3 sites.

May be coincidence but it occurred only after the latest WordPress reelase.

I am using the current version of wordpress and bbpress

I think attempting to use multisite in this instance is over complicating things…

Take a look at this video on one of WordPress’ multisite experts 🙂

Using one of the “membership” (Members, S2, Restrict Content Pro, Users, etc etc) type plugins along with groups would be the way to go I think.

[Robin W]

hmm – multisite could be complicated

If you can work with having different groups being able to access different combinations of forums, then my private groups plugin could be what you need.

Ill start by saying im not a developer and can edit php and code, but I cant write it from scratch…. yet

So ive been moving a guild site over from phpbb into wordpress and am still trying to figure out the best way to handle applicants, I made a post here if anyone had any ideas about that
https://bbpress.org/?post_type=topic&p=181981

So I was looking into how to maybe do a multisite with a single forum handling all the main communication among the community as a whole. I was looking through the forum here and everything that said it cant be done is very old. Is there a way to have shortcodes and custom user fields to work around that? Or maybe iframe?

Here is my thought, ill use car clubs for example

Root Forum

1 category – Car Club –
1-2 forum – public
1-3 forum – recruitment needs

2 category – members only
2-2 forum – New Car Club Applicant
2-3 forum – Car Club Events
2-4 forum – ADMIN

3 categories – (3) Honda – (4) Ford – (5) Mazda
3-2 forum – news rss
3-3 forum – brand specific news

Ok, so lets say on the main site if someone goes there it pulls everything since its the root. But give the car club its own multisite along with any niche sub group. In the custom user groups have shortcodes associated with the different ranks to show them on their member page when they look at the info something like [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] and add more to the root of that ranks permission. That way you dont have to add them per user, but per rank per group.

so in the shortcode for public users they would only have access to 1 and its contents
people in the honda club who are just members would have access to 1, 2(excluding 2-4) and 3, once they get bumped up to admin rank in that group the shortcode to display 2-4 gets added since its connected to rank roles.

In the same breath on the front end of the multisite pages you could just have them display the public forums associated with that niche pulling the data from the forum via [bbp-single-forum id=$id ].

I had a ton of control like this through phpbb using theme styling and domain masking and am trying to find a way to make it work in wordpress but its been a learning curve. I know groups in buddypress have some of this function built in, but it doesn’t seem to be tweak-able between sites. I dont want a guest to see every group in the opt in part of registration off the bat. Would rather have them app on that groups page, members review then they get added and what they see is based on what rank they have in all the groups they are in.

So am i trying to overthink this? Have I missed something that could solve this idea?

5 WordPress Plugins to Manage User Roles

[Robin W]

yes you just need to have different wordpress roles for each group.

plenty of wordpress role plugins to achieve that

[Robin W]

Kari,

participants don’t see that notice.

But my style pack plugin has the ability to add a notice in that place

bbp style pack

once installed and activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack> topic/reply form > No. 9 topic posting rules

[Robin W]

bbpress is not designed for backend use by ordinary users – the backend is really for administration, so participants don’t get this area.

New topics are shown below the forum list, or by creating a page and using one of the shortcodes

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

or by adding a button, such as in the style pack plugin

bbp style pack

[Robin W]

try

bbp style pack

this should let you style the forums

If you still have problems, come back

[Robin W]

that’s a bit like asking ‘my car has stopped working – can you tell me why?’:-)

suggest you work out what has changed in the last week – plugin/theme updates, php versions, wordpress versions etc.

If that doesn’t help, enable debugger – suspect you’ll find an error

then come back

[UserCentrix]

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

//Tobias

Keymasters and Moderators can do it but for partecipants ther is no way to insert a new topic.
I’ve tryed all ways: changing themes, disactivating plugins, but the problem still not solved.
I’m using WordPress 4.8 with theme RepublicPro, BuddyPress 2.8.2, bbPress 2.5.12
The site is inpressioni.it
Any help will be appreciated.

[k3vyk3v]

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

[Robin W]

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.

[Robin W]

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)

[imanicogic]

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!

[crooy3]

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?

[cclemens]

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?
