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.

Using WordPress version 4.8
bbPress Version 2.5.12

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?

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?

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!

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

I am using bbp style pack.
But, “Topic/Reply Styling – 10. Topic Header” doesn’t work.
I want to change Topic Header size.

bbp style pack 3.59
WordPress 4.7.5
Twenty Sixteen
bbPress2.5.12
bbPress – Sort topic replies1.0.3
I don’t open my HP link yet.

[Stephen Edgar]

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

[Robin W]

ok, you need to get this code into your site.

@media screen and (max-width: 400px) {
.list-view .site-content .cat-links, .list-view .site-content .entry-content, .list-view .site-content .entry-summary, .list-view .site-content footer.entry-meta {
    display: initial !important;
}

}

There are many ways to do this.

If you theme has a custom css area, you can put it in there

Otherwise you can look for a css plugin and add that

or you could install and activate my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

and go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>custom css and put the code in there

Hello,

I think I have a problem with the reply count.
It shows only 2 replies but there are more inside the topic.
Here is the link to the topic:

Zeigt uns eure Whiskybar

Do you know how to solve this problem?

I´m using:
Wordpress Version 4.7.5
bbPress Version 2.6-alpha
Theme: X Theme by Themeco
Here is my forum page: http://www.whiskytasters.de/forum/

Thank you very much for your help!

Kind regards,

I did switch on debugging… but it doesn’t throw an error. And I disabled all and selected a different theme… same problem.

I’ve even re-installed wordpress (through the dashboard) but it didn’t fix the problem… Thanks for digging in and offering help. I’ll keep searching.

[israelclp]

Sorry for my English!

I’m trying to migrate PHPBB 3.1.10 to BBPress, but to no avail. Always the same mistake. I would like your help if possible.

Erro no banco de dados do WordPress: [Table ‘falco785_phpb1.phpbb_user’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(user.uid USING “utf8mb4”) AS uid,convert(user.password USING “utf8mb4”) AS password,convert(user.username USING “utf8mb4”) AS username,convert(user.email USING “utf8mb4”) AS email,convert(user.regdate USING “utf8mb4”) AS regdate,convert(user.realname USING “utf8mb4”) AS realname FROM phpbb_user AS user LIMIT 0, 100

Thank you,

When I try to view the index of forums, it looks good on a computer but it is not seen when I open it on a smartphone.

It appears the Foros word (forums), and no more.

I have WordPress 4.7.5 and Twenty Fourteen theme.

[carlosburgos]

OK, Robin, thanks for your help.

Two plugins were generating the conflict:

1. Filtro de Traducción Transposh
Translation filter for WordPress, After enabling please set languages at the the options page Want to help? visit our development site at trac.transposh.org.
Versión 0.9.6 | Por Equipo Transposh

2. W3 Total Cache
The highest rated and most complete WordPress performance plugin. Dramatically improve the speed and user experience of your site. Add browser, page, object and database caching as well as minify and content delivery network (CDN) to WordPress.
Versión 0.9.5.4 | Por Frederick Townes

Now all is OK. But maybe it helps to know these two plugins to create some kind of solution.

Regards 🙏

[Robin W]

ok, not sure I can help further – think it is a wordpress/database issue.

Last 2 throws of the dice

1. is debug switched on, and if not turn it on to see what errors are appearing. if you need instructions for that – come back

2. try changing theme to a default one like twentyseventeen, then deactivate and see if that does anything. if that works you could switch back to your normal theme once bbpress is gone.

[Robin W]

ok, suspect that the database has an issue

two thoughts

1.do you have other plugins that are bbpress related? If so deactivate these first
2. Use FPT and go into

wp-content/plugins and rename the bbpress directory to something such as bbpressold

wordpress should then recognise it as gone.

Hello, in the WordPress admin panel, when I push in Replies, it returns me the blank screen with the message “Internal Server Error”.

I can enter in Forums and Topics, but not in Replies.

Could you help me?

[jjazzbel]

Problem: the private forum entry header / title is displaying this content instead of the title:

<span class=”screen-reader-text”>Private article:</span>Title‘

I use the Members plugin for content restriction. Roles are set up for access to some forums but not others. e.g. beginners should not see instructor forum content or topics.

This works with pages and posts, but forums and topics are displayed even when content is restricted for a given user level or role.

With that not working, I then made the forum private. Now, the forum still displays in the forum list even when content is restricted for a given user level but now shows 0 topics. On displaying private forum posts, the same html span tag precedes the title.

This is happening whether users have access to restricted content or not. Although content is finally restricted correctly at the topic level.

WordPress Version: 4.7.5
bbPress Version: 2.5.12
Site: http://www.windrivertaichi.org/ Site is members only. Please message for test access.
