Hi there,

I use myMail + Amazon SES to send all the emails on my website.

All the system emails works, BuddyPress emails works. However, bbPress email notifications don’t work.

I already know that the problem with the myMail settings:
https://gyazo.com/52d3e8bc99e159018599fee3cdb5887f

When I use “Do not use MyMail for outgoing WordPress mails” everything works. But I can’t use this setting, because all the emails became ugly and with different design (Buddypress has it’s own design, WooCommerce has it’s own, bbPress has no design at all).

Therefore, I have to use “Use MyMail for all outgoing WordPress mails” in the myMail to have unified emails. However, bbPress emails don’t work as I said.

Can anyone help me, please? I’m willing to pay for this.

Hi

I have fresh installation of WordPress and bbPress. I have old 2.x SMF forum I would like to move across. While using “Import Forums”, when I use correct server name, user name, password and prefix “smf_” (all from smf settings.php) I am getting error message:

Repair any missing information: Continue

Nothing seems to be working. I tried with and without any prefix, i tried converting users and not. I start FRESH every time. SMF database is NOT in utf8mb4. If i go to php admin i see Type: MyISAM and Collation: utf8_general_ci for every table.

Could you help?

Hi,

I am very new in WordPress and your help will be very welcome.
I would like to create a social network with 5 different forums.
I am not very clear what is the correct architecture to use.
As per my understanding, I need to install BuddyPress and bbPress.

What is not clear to me is do I need to create 5 groups in BuddyPress and 5 forums in bbPress and then link each forum to each group?

If not what is the correct architecture to have 5 different forums which cannot be deleted by users and also user cannot add new one.
The only thing that use can do is to add new topics to each forum where other users can reply.

Thank you

[Robin W]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

No love for this post? I’m using WordPress version 4.6.1, and I’ve received this feedback from my hosting provider regarding this issue:

I navigated to templates/default/bbpress/bbpress-templates and the file ‘bbpress-templates’ is a symbolic link to bbpress-templates:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 sopearly_admin pg1217016 17 Jul 28 18:02 bbpress-templates -> bbpress-templates

I’m not exactly certain how the symbolic link is referring itself but I’m afraid you may have to inquire with bbpress support as to why the plugin is failing with permission errors due to the file, bbpress-templates.

WordPress 4.6.1 running Divi Child Theme theme
bbpress Version 2.5.11
http://sundaysuppermovement.com/ but there is restricted access to the forums. Attached is a screenshot.

The toolbar has completely disappeared in the bbpress editor window. I have ‘post formatting’ checked under settings. This is what I see when I try to edit a topic/forum – see screenshot.

Wordpress 4.4.5
bbPress 2.5.10

Hello, when I create a page and insert a shortcode (like bbp-forum-index for example), my whole page is displayed properly.

http://www.legofftechnique.com/forum

But if I get inside a topic, my footer is not displayed properly anymore. Instead, I see Visual Composer shortcodes.

http://www.legofftechnique.com/forums/forum/discussion-generale

Do I need to add something in my bbpress.php template ?

If anybody can help me, I would appreciate it very much !

Hi all

Fairly new to WordPress and the use of plugins (and the complications of interacting with themes) so please bare with me!

I am using the them Accelerate Pro theme, Version 2.5.10 of bbpress on a managed WordPress 4.6.1 site provided through godaddy. I have installed bbpress but I have come across two problems.

Firstly I do not seem to get the bbpress sidebar in widgets after installation? I have been trying to work round this by utilising Widget Logic options and codes (from a community help page) but is there anyway of getting this sidebar on my theme which would be a lot easier!

Secondly (and more importantly!) – the display of the fields on the registration page (I have create using shortcodes) gives the full width for the username and email fields but the rest (First Name (required), Last Name (required), Company/Organisation (required), Confirm Email (required), Password (required), Confirm Password (required) only display across about 1/8th of the page and look horribly bunched up. I suspect this is a problem across bbpress on my site but it is most noticeable here.
The url of the page is:

Register Forum Account

Other pages created are:

Forum

and

Restore Forum Password

I have not done much in the way of setting up forums and topics as I wanted to get it displaying correctly first.

Help! You advice and guidance is most welcomed to ease my frustration!

Kind regard

Ricky

First and foremost, let me go ahead and apologize if this isn’t the right place for this.

With the latest major WP update, it seems that my forums have become broken. When viewing a topic or thread, the entire site’s theme isn’t loaded, resulting in a white screen with very minimal content on it. I’ve switched out themes to see if maybe it was just a theme issue, and the results were the same.

Some information about my site:

Forum URL: http://cosplay-central.com/forum/
Wordpress Version: 4.6.1
bbPress Version: 2.5.10
Current Theme: Esteem

Hello,
there is a problem with bbpress, that prevents SEO Plugins to do there job.

The problem exists only for the forum index page. Also if you use a standard page an paste the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode.

* That page is not handled anymore as a page, so it gets a noindex tag by the SEO plugins.
* It’s also not possible to add a custom title, description or other meta tags.

The bbpress forum index is completely ignoring all of that settings.
The result is a noindex forum index without a reasonable title and description.

Example:
Forum index

Screenshot of the ignored settings:

I talked with the codes a the German WPseo plugin.
They told me, that bbpress is using so crude things for that index and doesn’t use wordpress standards.

I also found here in the forum and on Google, that Yoast and All in one SEO Pack have the same problems with bbpress.

Is there a way to get that fixed?

A forum index with nofollow makes no sense at all.

thanks
Jochen

RESOLVED: before we had time to try the wireshark tools we ran a script on the database looking for broken relationships. Found that a post that had been removed using correct tools somehow had broken a relationship and the replies page would not load. Here is what happened:

1. A member joined our forum and spammed the crud out of it.
2. Akismet caught the spam and blocked it all, marking all topics and posts as “spam”.
3. One of our keymasters marked the user as a “spammer” according to the moderation tools provided by bbPress.
4. One of our admin staff moved the spam topics and posts to the trash, using the tools on the WordPress admin.
5. The same admin staff emptied the trash using the tools on the WordPress admin.

After this, they did not notice the replies page was not working or that people could no longer post. Later when people reported they could no longer post, our admin went to the WordPress admin and got a 503 error on the “replies” page. We fought this 503 error issue for nearly 1 week. After finding one broken relationship between a topic and the replies in that topic, we fixed the relationships and the 503 error went away. Now, all the forum is working perfectly.

So, somehow, using all the tools provided by bbPress, a user was marked as a spammer, their spam was blocked, trashed and emptied. And then the entire forum was broken due to a broken relationship. Fixed now, but really strange it could happen in the first place.

Hello. I’m getting this error when attempting to update the bbPress plugin on my site:

As suggested here on Stack Overflow, I made sure my file permissions are set properly:

I even tried renaming the bbpress directory to bbpress.old without success. Does anyone know how to fix this? I’m not necessarily opposed to reinstalling the plugin, but I want to make sure it’s not going to wipe out any related database records.

[Ismail]

You’re welcome all. Happy to be able to help 🙂

@wasanajones You can use get_the_excerpt( $se_post ) or just post_excerpt property of the WP_Post object:

Edit the last callback from previous code to go as this:

add_filter('bbp_get_form_topic_content', function( $body ) {
	global $se_post;
	if( $se_post ) {
		return $se_post->post_excerpt;
	}
	return $body;
});

I did not test this but I am sure it should work.

Best,
Samuel

OK, so I have now purchased the Pro version and it still doesn’t work! EVERYTHING ON MY SITE WORKS GREAT EXCEPT THIS MESSAGES? So I don’t see why it should be a problem with Wamp;

Have produced new WP site on Wamp 2.5 on my PC. I have installed bbp-messages 0.2.3.1 and already have bbpress 2.5.8 forum. WordPress 4.6.1 Sport Theme by Theme Canon Win10

THE WHOLE SITE and forum IS WORKING FINE, but When I try to use bbp-messages Lite, it returns the following:

FORBIDDEN: you don’t have permission to access wordpress/members1/http:/localhost/wordpress/members1/ on this server. Apache/2.4.9 (Win64) PHP/5.5.12 Server at localhost Port 80.

Would be very grateful for any advice as I am ready to publish this web – this my first WP site!

[gbbgadmin]

Update. Today we did the following:

1. Deactivated all BuddyPress and bbPress plugins. Uninstalled all BuddyPress and bbPress plugins. Removed all BuddyPress and bbPress data from the database, but kept a backup copy of the data and tables.
2. Installed fresh WordPress on fresh server. Installed new, fresh plugins.
3. Site worked.
4. Replaced data from backup.
5. Entire site works, EXCEPT there is a 503 error when people try to post a reply on a forum, and a 503 error when we try to go to the “replies” page from the wp-admin.

So, maybe something in the data? Could someone have posted a reply that has some content that is breaking the php code when trying to see the Admin panel “replies” page or when people try to post a reply?

We have learned another thing. When people post a reply, the reply DOES go into the db and it is visible to other members on the forum. HOWEVER, the person posting the reply gets a 503 error during the process and has to come back to the site fresh to see the forum, including their post.

Something is causing a 503 error ONLY when replying OR when we try to access the Admin “Replies” page as admin. It is very very strange.

I wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I just registered and I have been using bbpress for about a week now! I am running WordPress 4.6.1 and bbpress 2.5.11…. I created a website and forum page @ http://www.theintrovertspeaksblog.com I would like some honest input as to the integration of bbpress into the website. I also have a question, On the lost password page it displays a blank screen with simple text box only as well as the reset password button. I temp fixed it by adding text above the box to direct the user to insert username or password. Is there a better way to do this?

[Robin W]

It is the shortcode, but I think that you probably need to pay someone to do this – different theme work in different ways and clearly this is not within your current skillset

[Robin W]

I’d suggest you post on that plugin’s forum

This plugin is even better for image uploads, imho 🙂

https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-upload-for-bbpress/

[Robin W]

would need bespoke code.

You can get close by having forums per team and using

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups

but without further code it wouldn’t restrict them to their own topics

[Robin W]

no idea why it is not in core, but this I think adds that functionality
