Hi Stephen. I then set up a new WordPress install with only the bbPress 2.6 alpha plugin installed and did my import. Everything seems fine and the forums work great except for the login. I’ve tested this with a user I can log in to the PHPBB site with but it won’t let me in to the WP site at all. I can see the user in the WP Users list and it has the same details (username/email) as in the PHPBB forum.

[marissafairy]

Problem 1:
Using builtin importer, whole system is being imported by phpbb3. Anonymous users who does not have any accounts are allowed for posting but they are showing up as anonymous, in the system.
I have collected the usernames_of_the_visitors from posts_from_current_users and created those users, using a query:

INSERT INTO wp_current_visitors (using_the_login)
    SELECT DISTINCT usernames_of_the_visitors
    FROM posts_from_current_users

Step 2:
I am creating multiple tables (in this case:3), some of the code is:

SELECT ID FROM wp_current_visitors 
INSERT INTO current_live_posts(author_current_posts)
WHERE current_live_posts(post_time_and_date) = posts_from_current_users(posted_time)
  AND posts_from_current_users(usernames_of_the_visitors) = wp_current_visitors(using_the_login)

You can see this is not the correct way contain syntax errors. First I have to correct it. Second, I have to find a way to tell the mySQL that ID is connected with ‘using_the_login’ (see the first line). Am I right?

Please help in this regard?

Queries after up-gradation:

SELECT ID FROM wp_current_visitors
SELECT post_time FROM posts_from_current_users = post_time_and_date
SELECT post_username FROM posts_from_current_users = using_the_login

The are working in the correct way. But, I don’t know where to insert the WHERE information correctly.Only possible solution in my mind is to create sub-queries.

Problem 2:
I am installing bbpress on my own(for the first time on a client website, as an evaluation task). I am creating a simple forum, with necessary plugins for login and flow control. But, an important requirement, I am unable to configure is that client wants to create a new page for each directory page. And whenever a new page is added, he wants to add a forum page, automatically. Like, if the directory page is Directory page of militarybases – Cheyenne mountain Air Force base Colorado Springs Colorado. When, he made the page using wordpress, it’s forum page like website/forum/cheyenne-mountain-air-force-base-colorado-springs-co automatically created.

Is this possible? If yes, how will achieve this? Please don’t tell codes other than javascript and php. Please only provide the full solution, in case of others.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for the topic @fourmi 🙂

You are correct, looking at that code for forum subscriptions, if you successfully subscribe to a forum then true === $success so and then is_single() || is_page() would be true in your case the redirect should redirect to your page via get_permalink()

Could you confirm that the user IS successfully subscribed when subscribing via your forum list page please @fourmi

Hi,
As you confirm your bbPress works fine with a standard theme, I propose that you indicate the strange behaviour on the support forum of the theme (https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman).

Note that you can always copy and modify the standard bbPress templates to have them work within your theme. See https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ starting somewhere step 5.

Pascal.

what’s the good plugin to seo bbpress , i want to install bbpress on my wordpress site آموزش بازاریابی و فروش but i dont know how to seo it . my friends told me just install yoast plugin , is that ture ?

[Stephen Edgar]

@steveim, I’ll update those docs, but what happens is the passwords are copied during import, and then when an imported user first logs in then the old password is converted from phpBB format to a WordPress formatted password and stored in WP’s database user table

[Steveim]

Hi. I have just converted a PHPBB v3.1.10 to BBPress using the 2.6 alpha version. I am unsure whether the user passwords are converted or not.

In the codex https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/importing-data/import-forums/phpbb/ it says “Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.”
However, in the importer it says “Non-bbPress passwords cannot be automatically converted. They will be converted as each user logs in.”

I don’t know if they have been converted or what is meant by “They will be converted as each user logs in.”

Can you tell me what the status of the WP User passwords is and what the users can or need to do?

Cheers

WordPress 4.6.1, bbPress 2.5.10, sorry, no link because the forum is closed

With Auto-Embed enabled, some threads won’t load at all or need as long as 20 min. to load.
I created a test thread and found the problem occurs when there are links to other threads within the forum. Although I only created three messages which all contain nothing but a link to another thread within the forum, the page has to load 250 MB of data and hundreds of www-embed-player.js. Also, more than a thousand recourses are loaded (well, one of the linked threads has lots of embedded YouTube videos).

When Auto-Embed is on bbPress shows the topic of the linked thread instead of the link, which is good. But it seems that everything from that linked thread is already loaded and I’m not even sure that if those linked threads contain links to other threads as well, that those are not loaded, too.
I’m don’t know why it is loaded, because it is (of course) not shown. If Auto-Embed is off, everything is fine.

Is there something we can do about that behavior? What we need, are YouTube and especially SoundCloud files that can be played from within the thread and links to other threads that won’t load the complete content without showing it.

Any ideas?

if you want to attempt it yourself, then download my private groups plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

and crack open includes/functions.php

you’ll find a filter around line 14 to check permissions on topics and replies and the function it calls further down.

You probably want to create a version of that for yourself.

Have fun !

Usually:

– bbPress
– Connections
– Simple WordPress Membership

But as mentioned, I’ve also tried it with all but bbPress deactivated. No difference.

– Check email
– Childify Me
– Huemon Addons

have also been installed, but they’ve been deactivated for a while. I’ll try uninstalling those.

Okay, those three have now been uninstalled. Now I only have the following three plugins installed:

– bbPress
– Connections
– Simple WordPress Membership

and of those three, only bbPress is Activated.

No difference.

[kentwest]

When I first installed bbPress, I found an item in the WordPress Dashboard that said “Forums”; I clicked on that, and then on “New Forum”.

I typed in a title, and a brief blurb in the content box, and then clicked on “Publish”.

I then, in the WP Dashboard, clicked on Appearance/Menus, expanded the “Forums” category, found my newly-created forum, and added it to my menus.

Then when I load my site in a web-browser, and go to that menu item, I got a forum page where I could add entries, which result in what I posted above.

suggest you install my style pack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

which will let you set font sizes along with lots more

Hi,
We have made it so that all spambots who sign up to the bbp forum automatically get the role “no user role for this forum” (translated from German).
The thing is, when i go to my wordpress “user” settings, they are all under the “subscriber” role. As are all the real forum users.
I would like to have an option at the top to select just the “no role” users, so that i can bulk delete them all.
How do i do this?
thx.
btw, i dont want to install a wp-admin hide plugin as these have conflicted with our theme, and therefore i have to deactivate them.

[kentwest]

Caveat: I’m new to WordPress, themes, CSS, and bbPress.

I’ve got a website that seems to be working properly (using the hueman theme (well, actually, hueman-child)), and have installed bbPress, and created a forum page, but the form is cluttered. It looks like:
instead of like how the documentation shows it to look:

I’ve deactivated all my plugins except bbPress, and have tried all 6 or 7 of my installed WordPress themes, but nothing seems to help? Suggestions? Thanks!

Update! I just tried clicking the Bottom “Change” button and it worked. The Top “Change” button does NOT work. Perhaps this is a WordPress bug?

[Jason]

I added a new user, but cannot change their role in the list of users. I check the box on the left of their username, then go to the top dropdown “Change forum role to…” and change it, but there is no effect. The only way I can change the role is to edit their profile individually, rather than using the Bulk method. I am going to be importing 160 users and cannot find a way to pre-populate the Forum Role field, so I’d like to save time by being able to change Forum Roles in bulk by putting a checkmark next to each user and performing the change all at once.

I am using the default Twenty Sixteen WordPress theme in use while testing this plugin.

Does anyone know about this limitation or bug?

[Torkel]

I will be moving my website to a new host, it will keep the same URL, but not the same password/username/hostname for mysql/the database.

I’m using akeeba to move my wordpress site where I’m using bbpress as a plugin, complete with wordpress’ databases.

Does anyone know if bbpress will be fully moved and operational using this method? Akeeba should (I think?) move bbPress’ databases, but is there a place where I’ll have to change username/password/hostname for mysql in bbpress?

(Alternatively, is there a simple way to backup all the content on the forum and import them on the new webhost after doing a clean install of bbpress in case akeeba doesn’t take care of things?)

[contemplate]

Hi All. Needed this exact behavior as well. It really should be the default behavior. But if you don’t want to hack the core here is the code to place in your functions.php or custom plugin:

The reply form showing directly beneath the reply should be fixed as of:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2971

Edit – Haven’t tested with TinyMCE though.

[Robkk]

One other little thing though. I notice that the reply form appears below all sub-replies of a reply, instead of directly beneath the intended reply.

I think the reply.js code and possible other areas for threaded replies code can be improved to fix this. No idea how right now.

When the reply form is at its default location in a bbpress topic, the Visual tab works fine. But when the reply form pops up after clicking “reply” on a comment, the Visual tab fails to work (can’t type in it or see the contents).

I think this is another known issue. One of these tickets need to possible be reopened and include a patch for this issue.

Alright I was asking if there could be sending bbPress subscriptions issues and hopefully I could help with that, but only if you already set up sending mail on localhost.

There isn’t much I can help on sending emails through WAMP as the last time I tried a few years back it was a pain to do so and fix some issues I was facing. See if this can help you though.

[Robkk]

Ok. I found the problem: Buddypress.

The functionality of reply.js works for bbpress, but does not work if the topic is in a forum that is within a Buddypress group.

Just tested on your site, as well as my test site. And yes that BuddyPress is related to this issue.

May not specifically be BuddyPress and their code. I think there are tickets with bbPress’ BuddyPress extend code that might have issues with some conditionals in a bbPress post that is in a group.

Will look through bbPress trac for some possibly related tickets.

Edit: Found the ticket.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2974

It is pretty easy to workaround this issue as well, since all you have to do is enqueue the javascript with a different conditional or enqueue it sitewide, but doing it sitewide might cause another issue somewhere.

Will do some testing and get back.

Hi guys.

I created my first bbPress forum, which is this -> http://bit.ly/1p1fpjH

I then I cloned that forum to another URL -> http://bit.ly/2evx82i

All right, because I modified the URL WordPress. But when I press to enter any part of the forum, it redirects me to the first forum.

What is the problem? Do I have to change the URL bbPress? Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

[mimbelli]

Hi Pascal,
Thanks for your reply.

I installed BuddyPress to reduce plugin use for my need but actually I use just the sitewide BBPress forum. Actually I’m trying to get the whole picture.
FWIW Buddypress doesn’t add new user roles but, for forum, it uses BBPress forum. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

As admin I need to approve user once registered. How I can avoid to assign worpress role “subscriber” and maybe assign BBPress role “blocked” until an admin take action validating the user?

I’m just trying to obtain a classic feature of all forums out there. I tried on Buddypress and WordPress but everybody says that it’s aquestion related to other product. I’m deadlock 🙂

PS
Imagine for a moment that I have only WP + BBPress forum. How I get this behaviour?
Until an admim approve it, a new user cannot browse the site and forum.

Thank you
