WAMP or server installation ?

ok, suggest

You deactivate, delete and re-install bbpress

If that doesn’t work

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.

If those don’t then either maybe corrupt wordpress/server issue.

Hi,
I am using bbPress to create a forum for a customer. I use WordPress 4.6.1 and bbPress 2.5.11.
I downloaded the .mo and .po files in my language (Finnish) from this link, changed the file names into:
bbpress-fi_FI.mo and bbpress-fi_FI.po, and moved them to wp-content/languages/bbpress
Eventhough my wordpress site language is Finnish and I have those mo and po file in the folder, the bbpress forum is still in English.

Hi there,

I want to ask if I set a user in WordPress as author and as moderator in bbpress forum, if is correctly to say that he will be able to edit topics and replies of others user?

[giacomosilli]

Hello everyone,
I have a backup of vanilla forum sql 5GB, I would like to import it in my wordpress site, I am trying to use import by bbPress, but without success, maybe the file is too large.

Unfortunately the server as OVH does not allow you to edit the php.ini or the phpmyadmin configurations.

How i can solve it?

[Robin W]

try either :

bbPress Styling Crib

or use my style pack plugin

I activated topic and reply subscriptions today, and the very first email I got was a bounce. I had written a response to someone else’s thread, and apparently, instead of sending it from my usual sending address (as specified in PostMAN SMTP: mail@domain.org) to my admin address (as specified in my profile: m@domain.org), it was sent from and to (!) this weird address: noreply@sudomain.domain.org (case is bbpress on one subdomain site of a MS network). Since I do not receive emails adressed to my subdomain, it was bounced to mail@domain.org.

Using this noreply@ does not make any sense to me, neither for sender, nor for recipient. Can anyone help? bbpress does not allow me to set a sending address, it just defined and used it. That is not good, since my SMTP plugin must have the last word in this. We all know that sending emails via PHPmailer/webserver (default WP behaviour) is unprofessional. And anyway, to send a notification to anywhere else than my profile email does not make sense. This looks very much like a bug, doesn’t it?

WP 4.6.1 (MS install w/subdomains), bbpress 2.5.11, PostMan SMTP 1.7.2, ~40 other plugins

Excerpt from PostMan SMTP’s log (with EDITS):

X-Mailer: Postman SMTP 1.7.2 for WordPress (https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/)
From: SITE NAME <noreply@de.DOMAIN.org>
Sender: mail@DOMAIN.org
To: noreply@de.DOMAIN.org

Hi, I am not an expert so I ask you this question.

I need to increase font-size in bbpress forum in my wordpress site. I installed the plugin Simple Custom Css and add this code

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content {
    font-size: 14px;
}

Nothing happened. Then I changed adding a line

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content {
  display: list-item !important;
    font-size: 14px;
}

Now it works, in the Staging Copy of the site. Can you confirm this is a correct code? Or this code can generate any unexpected issue somewhere?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m sorry if I’m doing something wrong, I’m very new to the subject, and especially in wordpress architecture, I use bbpress, and I’m having a hard time researching 2 days to fix this and I’m not successful.
I need the information below the avatar to be centered below the avatar, because they are out of sync as the image shows:

[webp]

Found the solution.
In /etc/mysql/my.cnf (/root/my2.cnf for me since it’s my second temp mysql instance for me), I changed wait_timeout from 600 to:

wait_timeout = 600000000000000

I found I read somewhere else in this forum that says the same, but I couldn’t find it again.
Please refer to: MySQL wait_timeout and WordPress

• wait_timeout is the time mysql will hold a non-interactive connection open for before closing it basically.
• It’s the number of seconds of inactivity on a single connection mysql will wait for before terminating a connection. For instance you may make a connection 1 second into script execution then go away and do 40 seconds of work in php and when you go back to use your connection again, mysql has killed it.

FYI: In contrary to above, bbPress can import from remote database. But must use Hostname:Port in the converter admin, instead of hostname and port in separate input form fields.

I’m able to use a remote MySql server as import source.
Details please see a minor bug or enhancement that I just created:
BBpress import from remote database hostname:port config

Hello Lukas

I’ve had the same problem with you. The question is why the bad word filter in WordPress / settings / discussion

The problem of wiping out the banned words in this area can be solved. Then you can add new words that will not interfere.

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:

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?
THanks

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.
