No, I didn’t….

I have everything imported (which took along 8 hours), but organizing it all is real pain (especially since having hidden forums slows down wordpress). So, I am deciding what to delete. However, there are even more challenges there as well as there is no way to easily delete bulk posts.

I’d also like to keep my users post counts.

I am a little overwhelmed as processes such as deleting posts/forums take way to long to do.

Should i start over in 2.6 beta 2?

Just an FYI on this that I found out. I have a new install of WordPress 4.7.3 and bbPress 2.5.12 and I had the same issue. I was running PHP 7.1 and I got this same error. I dropped it to 5.6 and it worked. It also seems to work with PHP 7.

I imported my vbulletin forum into BB press.

I am having some issues with it slowing down my wordpress.

I ran all the repairs except this one just keeps timing out;
“Recalculate the position of each reply”

It’s a pretty big forum and I have a good amount of closed/hidding forums.

Hi Robin

Sorry for my late answer. I’ve test it with php version 7.0 and now I’ve also a blank screen with the following message (when I activate the wordpress debug):

For my WordPress website I use third party SMTP server with a limit on number of recipients. Is there any plugin that I can use to split messages to limit maximum emails in BCC?

For example, server limit is 50, so if I have 60 subscribers to a forum or topic, I want server to send two emails. One with 50 and the other one with 10 emails.

We have tried many plugins on our website which uses bbPress forum some produce incomplete pdf’s of the normal pages but none produce pdf’s of the forum pages. We simply want to be able to create a pdf of the page as we see it formatted on the screen. Is this possible?

WordPress 4.7.3 running Klein theme.
bbPress 2.5.12-6148.

Home Version 1

Many thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

I view this from the opposite direction @ljmac, bbPress is one of the leading, if not forerunner plugin on pushing the boundaries of WordPress’ user roles, the changes WordPress made benefit bbPress greatly. It also wasn’t an easy decision to make, we’d wanted a couple of changes in WordPress for a few years now, now we got a change that we wanted, we just had to make the decision as to if we should break back compatibility, and we concluded the pros outweighed the cons.

To answer your question though, yes bbPress 2.5.11 should work on WordPress 3.7

p.s. WordPress development has nothing to do with Automattic, Automatic host WordPress sites on WordPress.com. WordPress and WordPress.org is an open source project with many contributors world wide.

[ljmac]

Thanks for the info. I guess this is an example of why I don’t upgrade WordPress – in order to add some feature that will probably be of little use to the vast majority of users, they break compatibility with what will probably be a boatload of plug-ins (given how fundamental this change is). Well done Automatic.

Oh BTW, would 2.5.11 work okay with 3.7?

[John James Jacoby]

WordPress 4.7 changed the way that the logged-in user is loaded. More specifically, it changed the execution point in the code, in such a way, that bbPress needed a change to meet the new requirement.

Hi, I have added the shortcode on my main forum page http://www.apis.de/forum to implement the Prisna Google Translator. This displays a drop-down list of languages to choose from. The problem is that it only translates that page and if i click on a forum topic, it reverts back to the website language.
The advice from Prisna is to create a WordPress category for the forum. But I can’t do this, as BBpress doesn’t seem to provide this option on the topic pages.
Any ideas?

[highendchef]

Hi.
•I would like to create a forum whereby non members can view new member posts only but not the replies
• I would like only paid members to be able to write new posts/questions
• I would like to add paid membership levels to access functions: being to able to post/ask a question and be able to contribute/comment plus read admin replies.
• I would like to restrict/control topic categories/tags

I can use either optimizepress member or another membership plug in as per recommendation. Preferably a low cost starting point.

I hope my question makes sense! Thanks.

[ljmac]

Hi,

Before I begin, please don’t lecture me on why I should always use the latest WordPress version – let’s just say that I’m very well aware of all the usual arguments, but I’ve got a mountain of much better reasons why I don’t want to ‘upgrade’. And 3.7+ get all security updates anyway.

Anyway, I am currently successfully running 2.5.10 on WordPress 3.7.19. In the release notes for 2.5.11 you updated the minimum requirements from 3.6 to 4.2, and on the plug-in page specifies 4.7! Why does such a minor point release require such a huge jump in requirements? The only issue I have with 2.5.10 is the 3.8+-style icons (which would only require a minimum of 3.8 anyway).

[Anonymous User 13302461]

Moving forums to a subdomain, the user database is shared with main website but that’s all.

Trying to get forums moved in to a clean install but I’ve been trying for many hours with no success.

have used Tools->export for forums, topics, replies.
Then Tools->import on the new site.

The admin panel forums area shows all the topics correctly, forum name, amount of replies, names, etc.
The topics area also looks correct, names, amount of replies etc.
The replies area show which topic they are a reply to.

But when I go to the front end, none of it is connected. No topics in forums, no replies to topics. But the forum and the topics do say “X amount of topics in this forum” etc.

Try the “Repair forums” and do those 1 at a time and it just makes things worse.
Then nothing is linked, topics have “no forum”, and replies have “no topic” etc.
Any help please?

P.S. Regarding importing large files, if anyone is having problems:
I had to split the xml files as despite all my php.ini maximum file upload size, maximum script memory, and httpd.conf timeouts being set REALLY high (like 500MB and 1 hour!!) I just cannot complete the imports of files 50MB. So used this and now they are importing when split under 5MB ->

Visit our active support forum Weaver Support Forum for our theme to see our brand new plugin
Weaver for bbPress in action on a real site.

This site not only demonstrates how an active bbPress support forum can work, it also demonstrates how our new plugin Weaver for bbPress can be used to create a great looking site with the amazing styling and other features provided by the plugin. The support forum is running on a standard WordPress theme (our own Weaver Xtreme) using Weaver for bbPress options with absolutely no extra CSS or PHP coding required. This example uses a green based design, but the plugin has subtheme options to support virtually any existing WP theme.

[wpweaver]

I am very pleased to announce the release of my new plugin called Weaver for bbPress available for download from WordPress.org at Weaver for bbPress

This plugin makes bbPress essentially a turnkey install. Not only does it provide a collection of great looking bbPress themes that blend with about any WP theme, it includes many other essential options to control Forum and List layouts. It has enhanced features for both Participants and Moderators that makes running a forum much easier. And no custom CSS or PHP coding required!

Read the longer description on the plugin page, or visit our very active support forum for our theme, Weaver Xtreme to see this plugin in action on a real site: Weaver Support Forum.

all I can suggest is that you list everything about your site

php version
wordpress version
bbpress version
theme
all plugins

and if someone else has then issue, then maybe we can see some commonality.

Since switching to HTTPS you need to update your siteurl and homeurl to use HTTPS at /wp-admin/options-general.php

For multisite @ragir it depends how you have your site setup, this article covers your options on what you can, and can not do to switch to https for multisite 🙂

How to Set Up HTTPS on WordPress Multisite Without Headaches

[PrancingHorse]

Hello,

My website: http://www.yorkregiontutoring.com is showing the WordPress Dashboard on the top left when a participant is logged in. And when you do click on the wordpress graphic on the top left for example, it asks you to create a page..etc. How do you disable this?

Does everyone just have this turned on by default on their websites?

Furthermore, I don’t want to just disable the top bar as I want people to be able to see their user icon and click on the it and access shortcuts within the top bar if needed.

Thank you
Diana

Hi @russ8523,
I suppose you are talking about the bbp style pack plugin ? Could you post your question on the dedicated support forum for that plugin: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack ?

Thanks, Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
But you should not need to run anything from https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/ . If you have a standard WordPress install, the language files are downloaded automatically.

How about other plugins that have translations available, do they work ? Like SEO or something ?

[Amelia]

Hi,

I tried to start back from 0. I reinstalled wordpress 4.7.3, deleted loco translate, deleted and reinstalled bbpress. I then followed this guide : https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/ to download and install a translation which is apparently 100% complete for my language. Still it’s not completely working. I verified in /wp-admin/update-core.php and I have no updates. You cannot blame loco translate this time as it’s not even installed anymore on my website. Also, I can know my wordpress language is correctly setup because some translation does work as you can see on the following image :

Please help me, this really seem like a bug with your plugin…

Thanks

A common error after installation of BuddyPress from within the WordPress admin panel is to not set pretty permalinks. If you fail to do this then all of the links in the header will return 404 errors.

To fix this problem, enter the WordPress admin panel > Settings > Permalinks – set to any configuration other than the default configuration. The mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work.

Since I’ve installed some plugins, bbpress 2.6 beta 2 doesn’t allow me to login to wordpress admin console. After entering login and password nothing happens.
However, if I move bbpress folder from plugins I can login again. If I move it back or reinstall – can’t login to wordpress again.
