If you didn’t change any of the default forum slugs like say for a single topic, then don’t worry about it.

Ummm can you just edit the forum FORUM–Youth Sports, Parents, Gear and more!, tell me the permalink below the title input box is, if it doesn’t have spaces or those weird %20 text, then just update the forum real quick to see if this can fix the url of the topic link.

Go to Settings > Permalinks in the WordPress backend and do the same thing, just hit the save changes button.

And try going to Tools > Forums in the WordPress backend and running these two repair jobs, one at a time.

Recalculate the parent topic for each post
Recalculate the parent forum for each post

Last possible thing you can do is maybe trash and delete your existing topic, youth sports and create a new one to see if this issue persists.

See if using this plugin can help remove those specific WordPress post embeds.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-embeds/

A topic with a bunch of embeds may load slow, maybe using a lazy load plugin can help as well for a different reason, to load only what is in view for the user.

[Robkk]

You okay if it would looks something like this in the end? Look at the visual overview.

https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/

I can help you identify some templates in a section if you need help on that. You might have to post a picture of the area though for me to know what you are talking about.

This is a possibly known issue that is theme/bbPress theme compatibility related.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2966

To fix this place the content-search.php and form-search.php files from the bbPress plugin to your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

If you haven’t created a child theme create one.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

[Robkk]

Are your forum posts still there?

This could a possible theme issue. I think bbPress could use a template (either content-search.php or search.php ) by accident from your theme.

Are you using a custom theme, you might want to create a child theme if so?

To fix this place the content-search.php and form-search.php files from the bbPress plugin to your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

The bbPress login/registration forms are buggy or have incomplete functionality.

I say use the default WordPress forms for your users, or use a frontend form plugin.

[Robkk]

Are you using the default bbPress login widget?

This widget options has fields to activate the lost password and register links.

As you can see I have integrated bbpress with buddypress and membership 2. These are almost completely configured to the way I want them.

The goal with the content on this free membership site is to make almost all the content readable, but to allow only users to post new topics or replies.

I have added one plugin at a time and test in between so I do not think there are any conflicts.

Matter of fact, everything is great except for 1 thing.

I do not want a non-logged in user to be able to post topics or replies. At the bottom of each of the current topics, there is a reply text entry field. If I log out and try to post a reply, I get this message:

“slow down, you move too fast”

So I either need to figure out how to change that message to “only logged in users can reply or post new topics” or something similar.

Or I need to know how to hide the reply text entry field for non-logged in users.

I have been through settings>forum as well as all the other plugins looking for the appropriate toggle to no avail.

I have combed the forums and google with no success. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Linda @iempoweru

I’ve downloaded the bbPress plugin ( 2.5.10), after installing it and activating it, I do not see anywhere on the WordPress dashboard where it shows up.

When trying to go to the bbPress About link by clickingon the WordPress icon in my dashboard, it loads a page that says “Sorry, You are not allowed to access the page”.

So I went under the Users section to ensure that the Owner is a Keymaster.

I’ve also go in and deactivated all my plugins to see if it works, but nothing has fixed.

[Manas Mitra]

Find a plugin BP Admin Actions (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-admin-actions/) to do this job.

[lkrupa98]

WordPress 4.6.1

Version 2.5.10

Message board: http://hp190.hostpapa.com/~aecaa159/?page_id=43

My bbpress message board is currently using the “Unite” theme from ColorLib.

It seems to work just fine on a desktop. However, the moment I view it on my Android smartphone (tried both Firefox and Chrome), I cannot click on any links to open the message board or open topics.

However, if I switch to the default Twenty Sixteen theme, the message board works just fine on my smartphone. Argh.

Would anyone please be able to help me make the message board function well on a smartphone using the Unite theme?

Hello, thank you in advance for any help!
I have just activated a plugin called “Search bbPress 2.0” which fixes the issue of searching for topics, replies, etc. However, when the results display they include a link to the author and the title. The title works fine but the author points to “the_author_posts_link();” – which sends me to a url containing /author/ (instead of /members/)
https://woodardnetwork.com/forums/?s=quickbooks

I am thinking “posts” is not where I want to go, rather “members” – I could not find this in the documentation (or on codex.wordpress as it looks to be bbPress specific). Anyone know the replacement for the above function?

Thanks again!

Hi,
I’ve been struggling with a serious import problem since may 2016.
Issue #1 My BBpress forums will not migrate properly with conventional WordPress import/export built in tool.
Issue #2 When I use WP ALL Import (pro bundle) to get a CSV I can actually work with, and manually update the USER ID table and Forum ID and Parent ID, the import works (Forums and Topics are matched up properly) but tool>BBpress>recaculate will completely break the forum, I need to be able to recalculate once in a while… not being able to do this is a problem. And even to get the imports working I have to manually change IDs in the CSVs in order for the imports to match content up properly. And even when using vlookup in Excel, it is painstakingly difficult to manually create a dual reference column where column one is the old ID (for old website forum) and column two is the new ID (for new website forum). This is why I don’t have a fixed CSV for replies yet. I’ve thousands of them.

Authors of WP ALL Import have been of no substantial help. Please any help because I’ve been paying for my old server and new server for months now and it’s gotten very expensive.

Data columns including in Forum Export is:
id Title Content Post Type Date Order Parent Slug Author Status _bbp_status _bbp_old_forum_id _bbp_forum_parent_id _bbp_forum_subforum_count _bbp_topic_count_hidden _vc_post_settings _bbp_status _yoast_wpseo_title _bbp_forum_id _bbp_last_topic_id _bbp_last_reply_id _bbp_last_active_id _bbp_last_active_time _bbp_topic_count _bbp_total_topic_count _bbp_reply_count _bbp_total_reply_count

Data columns included in Topic Export is:
"id Title Content Date Post Type Permalink _bbp_old_topic_id _bbp_reply_count _bbp_total_reply_count _bbp_author_ip _bbp_old_sticky_status _bbp_topic_id _bbp_forum_id _bbp_last_reply_id _bbp_last_active_id _bbp_last_active_time _bbp_voice_count _vc_post_settings vc_teaser Status Author Slug Order Parent Comment Status"

Data columns included in Replies Export is:
id Content Date Post Type Permalink Status Author Slug Parent Order Comment Status Ping Status _bbp_post_id _bbp_author_ip _vc_post_settings _bbp_activity_id _bbp_topic_id _bbp_forum_id

For Forum’s I updated Author IDs.
For Topic’s I updated Author IDs, Parent, and _bbp_forum_id

After a successful import for these two post types,
bbpress recalculate will completely break the posts’ hierarchy.

I’ve yet to find a way to get replies to import successfully due to the shear number of replies and _bbp_topic_id’s I’d have to update the new IDs for.

[Stephen Edgar]

These issues are fixed in the next release of bbPress, bbPress 2.6

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

[Pascal Casier]

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?

Guido

[Robin W]

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 !

[kentwest]

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.
