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.

Hi @johnjamesjacoby

the codex mentions this for Allow Global Access
In a WordPress Multisite install bbPress is activated on individual sites. Allowing global access will permit all users from across the network to post topics and replies on the forums for this particular site.

i activated bbpress per site on my 3 network sites. still i dont see any setings for global access? does global access happen by default?

Also is there some similar setting for bbpress like buddypress’s define(‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);?

i got define(‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true); enabled for my wp+bp multinetwork. But forums on the root site dont show up on the sub sites like groups/members do with that setting enabled.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have a forum currently set up for our organization. I am using some fellow employees to test it but it looks like people are able to go in and make posts for our blog (saved but not published in the Contributor, Participant roles). I don’t want that. Users should only be able to post to our website forum, and nothing else. Is there a line of code that I’m missing for this?

I would also like to know if there is a way to mask being able to see one another user’s posting stats. TIA!

website is creatingourcommonwealth.org. Our WordPress template is Ribosome, if that helps any.

Hello
I’ve been searching for ages but cannot find the solution to my problem.

Does anyone know how I can make it so that people can post new topics and replies without the need to enter a name, email and website (i.e. those three boxes are removed)?

Thanks very much

I’m using WordPress 4.5.2, using twentysixteen theme.
I’m using bbpress 2.5.9-6017

[Robin W]

use my private groups plugin, which allows users to see forums, but not access content

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

try my style pack, which has a breadcrumbs tab to let you decide what to show

I’ve successfully imported phpBB data into bbPress. Now, I’d like to redirect URLs like
http://my_phpbb_domain.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2
to:
http://my_wordpress_domain.com/forums/topic/corresponding_topic/

I’ve search the web and have been experimenting with several solutions but without any luck. Anything I do throws a 404.

These are some of the links I tried out:

Rewriting URLs

Redirection to new bbPress board?

As you can see, these topics are at least 7 years old. On the other hand, I don’t expect that something has changed on how to write redirects in an htaccess file.

Does somebody here has some experience with this?

Hello,

I need your help. I have done research before posting, however, seems nobody had that issue before.

Could you please advise why my avatar picture and author name in complete mess. They are not staying at the same line. Example can be seen at http://www.mynettips.com/blog2/forums/forum/новый-форум/

I use wordpress version 4.5.2 and free theme JustWrite.

Your help would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Sam

Hello,

I am trying to setup my forums so that moderators can create forums on the front end of the website without having to login to wordpress with admid aka Least Privilege Rule.

However Ive exhausted many different potential solutions with no fix including:
-Modifying the Roles and verifying the ability to Publish Forums
-Granting Users the Moderator Privilege as well as making test Users for trialing

I cant imagine im the only one with this issue however I cannot find similar topics previously posted on here or google with the answers im looking for.

My URL is gamingcommunity.us

Better reference: this is what I want! But apparently this poor guy didn’t get what he was looking for, either…

[Maximillian Heth]

Hi! This is for a client’s site, which is budpubs.com. We’re using WordPress 4.4.3 (his theme isn’t quite compatible with the latest version of WordPress, and the theme dev is no longer supporting the theme..=P) and the latest version of bbPress.

For some reason, the gravatar images aren’t showing within the forum. I tried looking for a thread that addressed this before creating my own, but I couldn’t really find anything specific to my problem. Has anyone here come across something like this before? Thanks!

[dinowong]

Two weeks ago I installed bbPress, there was the “forum” tag in the admin dashboard. I uninstalled it soon after I installed as I did not have any use back then.

But today when I reinstalled a few times, the “forum” tag did not appear at admin dashboard. Neither did the introduction page of bbPress that has the “go to settings” link appeared.

I tried on my other website and it has no problem. Please advice how to get the normal installation running.

Both are running on the latest wordpress.org version.

I recently went through our forum and removed all the old and non required topics but after I did that the counters on the forums were all wrong. I went tot he recount feature until the tools section and rant he options to recounts and recalculate each forum and topic which all worked fine.

Now when anyone who is a participant (which is everyone except the admin on my site) tried to view the forums, they get no topics returned. When I login as admin I can see them all. I have changed everyone to be KeyMaster and now they can see them again.

Any idea what might have happened ? I’ve checked permissions and can see Participant is in there as can view, as is subscriber. Using BBPress 2.5.9 and WordPress 4.5.2 BBPress was installed well over a year ago and has been upgraded with each update when the plugins page tells me to.

website is http://www.greenbankarchers.com but forum is a private members only area behind wordpress.

Hi,
I have a issue regarding the Visual Editor within the forum page. I would like the visual editor within the forum edit page to be enabled so that I can give a image/text introduction to the forum. I have tried to install suggested plugins like “TinyMCE Advanced” and others but none of them directly solve the problem I am having. Example of what I am looking for:

What I would like to be on the page:

Wordpress: Version 4.5.2 running Untold Stories theme.
bbPress: Version 2.5.9

Hello guys,

I have question. i have static website. I haven’t installed wordpress on my site. can i install bbPress for my website without wordpress. Please let us in it is possible.

Thanks

[uschesch]

I am using the private groups plugin for this. The plugin lets you restrict certain topics to the members of a group. If you want your topic available for all forum users to see, but you only want certain users to be notified, then the private groups plugin will likely not work. You can find the plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

[Kineta]

I came up with a solution, based on the start @davidstriga made. I’ve been meaning to post it for anyone else having the same issue. I don’t have the same goal he did to notify everyone in a forum, just the person being replied to, so I removed the foreach loop. I also wanted the notification to go to the actual replied-to post in the thread and not just the initial topic at the top of the page. The forum I’m working on has titles on all the replies – but if you aren’t using titles on replies the notification just shows the topic title, but the link still goes to the relevant post/reply.

If anyone is interested, here’s my solution. It’s working great on our site and takes care of the duplicate issues, as well as the GMT timestamp problem.

Put this in your theme’s functions.php

/* notifications */

function jpr_buddypress_add_notification( $reply_id = 0, $topic_id = 0, $forum_id = 0, $anonymous_data = false, $author_id = 0, $is_edit = false, $reply_to = 0 ) {

	$current_topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
	$ids_of_subs = bbp_get_topic_subscribers($current_topic_id);
		
		// this is who the notification goes to. whose post is replied to
		$topic_author_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $reply_to );

		// Bail if somehow this is hooked to an edit action
		if ( !empty( $is_edit ) ) {
			return;
		}

		// Get author information
		// $topic_author_id   = bp_loggedin_user_id();
		$secondary_item_id = $author_id;

		// Hierarchical replies
		if ( !empty( $reply_to ) ) {			
			$reply_to_item_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $reply_to );
		}		

		// pass the $reply_id to the function that formats the notification
		$topic_id = $reply_to;
		
		// Get some reply information
		$args = array(
			'user_id'          => $topic_author_id,
			'item_id'          => $topic_id,
			'component_name'   => bbp_get_component_name(),
			'component_action' => 'bbp_new_reply',
			'date_notified'    => get_post( $reply_id )->post_date_gmt,
		);
	 	
		// Notify the topic author if not the current reply author
	 	if ( $author_id !== $topic_author_id ) {
			$args['secondary_item_id'] = $secondary_item_id ;

			bp_notifications_add_notification( $args );
	 	}
	 	// Notify the immediate reply author if not the current reply author
	 	if ( !empty( $reply_to ) && ( $author_id !== $reply_to_item_id ) ) {
			$args['secondary_item_id'] = $secondary_item_id;
			
			bp_notifications_add_notification( $args );
	 }
}
// remove the bbpress notification function so we don't get dupicate notifications
remove_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'bbp_buddypress_add_notification', 10, 7 );
add_action( 'bbp_new_reply', 'jpr_buddypress_add_notification', 10, 7 );

// remove the bbpress format notification function before using our custom function
remove_filter( 'bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'bbp_format_buddypress_notifications', 10, 5 );

function jpr_format_buddypress_notifications( $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string' ) {

	// New reply notifications
	if ( 'bbp_new_reply' === $action ) {
		$topic_id    = bbp_get_reply_id( $item_id );
		$topic_title = bbp_get_reply_title( $item_id );
		$topic_link  = wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'bbp_mark_read', 'topic_id' => $topic_id ), bbp_get_reply_url( $item_id ) ), 'bbp_mark_topic_' . $topic_id );
		$title_attr  = __( 'Topic Replies', 'bbpress' );

		if ( (int) $total_items > 1 ) {
			$text   = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new replies', 'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items );
			$filter = 'bbp_multiple_new_subscription_notification';
		} else {
			if ( !empty( $secondary_item_id ) ) {
				$text = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new reply to %2$s from %3$s', 'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items, $topic_title, bp_core_get_user_displayname( $secondary_item_id ) );
			} else {
				$text = sprintf( __( 'You have %d new reply to %s',             'bbpress' ), (int) $total_items, $topic_title );
			}
			$filter = 'bbp_single_new_subscription_notification';
		}

		// WordPress Toolbar
		if ( 'string' === $format ) {
			$return = apply_filters( $filter, '<a href="' . esc_url( $topic_link ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title_attr ) . '">' . esc_html( $text ) . '</a>', (int) $total_items, $text, $topic_link );

		// Deprecated BuddyBar
		} else {
			$return = apply_filters( $filter, array(
				'text' => $text,
				'link' => $topic_link
			), $topic_link, (int) $total_items, $text, $topic_title );
		}

		do_action( 'jpr_format_buddypress_notifications', $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items );

		return $return;
	}
}
add_filter( 'bp_notifications_get_notifications_for_user', 'jpr_format_buddypress_notifications', 10, 5 );
