Devs say that its intentional for now and looking for a way to implement it without any further issues.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2523

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2340

There is a couple of fixes out there.

1. This patch enables threaded replies, but will not work in private forums.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2785

2. I have not tested this proposed fix.

When you enable the tinymce editor in bbPress, for now you have to edit that snippet you posted and edit it for every buttons html tags that you will end up using. Whenever you may be quoting another user using a different plugin you may need to use the paste as a text php code snippet in the guide.

Read this WordPress guide about the character entities.

The plugin description on WordPress.org states it should show up on the premium version of the plugin, contact the plugin author about this.

I want to put a menu entries of the forums in a tab of the menu. While a user is loged in, all looks fine, but when a visitor enter without login, the main menu is broken: all entries are shown in the complete menu. See the images for better understand.

I use the evoLve theme (3.5.0) (but the problem persits in TwentyFifteen and others) and the last version of BBpress (2.5.8) and WordPress 4.5.1

(sorry for my ugly english)

Hi – I just installed BBPress and I can’t seem to have the admin reply to any posts. I created an account under the name Hutad and tried to reply as the Admin and can’t see the response live on the site. It’s in my backend but not live. I am using a custom theme.
Here is the link to the topic/website

Any suggestions much appreciated.

I’m using the latest wordpress version

Hi.

I am looking for a wordpress theme to offer freelander services. I would like to have a system by which users can ask for a quote to all or some of freelanders.

I think that if i can create a forum with some categories depending of freelander works, where freelanders would be subscribed, users can go to desired category/thread and there ask for a budget/quote of a work they need to do.

Users can subscribe to this category/thread clincking in “Notify me of follow-up replies via email form” and, in this way, they can wait for freelanders answer with a budget.

I think that all freelander answers should be private, so only the user that asked for a budget can know the answers.

Is the function, line 3901 is : trigger_error( sprintf( __( ‘%1$s was called incorrectly. %2$s %3$s’ ), $function, $message, $version ) );

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict

As Cherrypress is a paid theme – then contact the theme author for help.

[arathra]

I’ve narrowed this down to bbpress and have read up a load of suggestions but none seem to work and I can’t get rid of this error message which leaves the rest of the admin page blank.

The message I get is:

Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/xxxx/public_html/home/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3901

Followed by

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxx/public_html/home/wp-includes/functions.php:3901) in /home/xxxx/public_html/home/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1171

The first message I understand is a noted bug which I can ignore.

The second appears only when bbpress is activated (even with no other plugins activated on a new 4.5 installation of WP is there).

I’ve checked /wp-includes/functions.php and there are no spaces at the beginning or end of it (as suggested on another thread as a possible cause) and likewise /wp-includes/pluggable.php has no spaces.

What else might be causing this error and can I do anything about it?

Many thanks for any help here…

Moderators cannot see the forums menu in the WordPress backend. To see the Forums menu item they need the keep_gate capability which only Keymasters have.

Moderators can create forums on the frontend of your site if you used the [bbp-forum-form] shortcode in a page

Editing forums, I am not sure how they are supposed to do that on the frontend, maybe bbPress had some functionality for managing BuddyPress group forums that is broken. Have to look into it.

@let-me-see

I don’t subscribe to every one of these topics on the forum that I help users in.

i was going to just delete the login information after you posted it, and tell you to delete the user you just created after too.

instead just email me the login info.

Hi @daveodea did you find a solution? I have exactly the same situation. So far, I have verified that:

1. there are no errors being logged anywhere server side and
2. the issue isn’t related to caching, either server side or via a wordpress plugin.

I have also:

1. disabled all plugins except buddypress;
2. enabled my main theme, in case I had some conflicted code in my child theme;
3. tried with the twenty sixteen theme.

But I still can’t resolve this issues. Does any one have anymore advice they could give me?

[Robkk]

See if this post can help lead you to create what you want.

I used the plugin wp-members

Is it this plugin??

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-members/

I cannot seem to figure out how you did the members area thing with this plugin (if it is the correct plugin).

So I have done loads more searching and it is known problem which BBPress do nothing about

Well there might be related issues to search redirecting to the home page, some had issues with the search query having a url structure and query different than intended by default, and some had issues with search plugins on their site, and I think some I tried to contact personally to help them since they had a premium theme and it is hard to just figure it out on premium themes that might have some kind of fancy ajax search having conflicts with the default bbPress search for example. Your issue could be somewhat related to the url structure.

Do you have any steps that maybe I can try to replicate to find the cause of this issue, like explain how you set everything up?

So you ditch the BBPress function, it does not work. And amend the normal search to include forums.

Yes this can be a workaround for some, but since you may have private members only content this solution may not be practical.

Does the default bbPress search work fine on a fresh installation with just your theme and no other plugins like wp-members?

If you haven’t already known if bbPress search works by default with just your theme and bbPress activated, consider created a localhost setup to test the default bbPress search to see if it works on a default fresh installation, then we can work backwards and try to find the cause of this issue that you are experiencing.

[Robkk]

Yeah I can confirm it is a bug, I created this trac ticket on the issue awhile back.

just a warning. last tiem i posted to jobs.wordpress.net i ahd to find a way to remove the posting after thousands of emails came through.

If you post the problems here there is plenty of free help.

[JaneAkshar]

I used the plugin wp-members and put the forums in the member area. I have been speaking to the author of that plugin who is brilliant with support and he had problems at the begining as well. So I have done loads more searching and it is known problem which BBPress do nothing about

There is no solution out there BUT what you can do is change the main search function to include forums and that is what I have eventually done. I do think BBPress should provide a proper solution

So you ditch the BBPress function, it does not work. And amend the normal search to include forums. I used this code snippet to help.

/**
* Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results */

function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
        $topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
        return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );

/**
* Include bbPress 'forum' custom post type in WordPress' search results */

function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
        $forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
        return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );

/**
* Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results  */

function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
        $reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
        return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

Hello
i have an issue regarding role of forum in BBPRESS the “moderator” role doesn’t see the “Forum” menu in the WordPress back-end

regards
Adeel Ahmed

[Robkk]

@mgdel

There is subpages, only 2 subpages, but there is still something. I did update the forum moderation page just now.

i need to be able to set up a list of wp users to be the admin/moderators of the forum
i need to be able to make them know about a new post (i can do it via mailing list)
and they should be able to reply and make the question public via front end. and the op must be notified when someone replies to or publish the post.

Maybe try this plugin to allow, anonymous users to be able to subscribe to posts.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-anonymous-subscriptions/

You can tell your moderators to subscribe to whatever forum they want to moderate, by clicking the subscribe link on the single forums page on the frontend.

If you are talking about per forum moderation for you forums, I do not think you cannot do that as of now.

[Robkk]

Okay I tested the bbPress forum search on my localhost setup with the latest bbPress, BuddyPress, and WordPress, and I have no issues.

I am running a default setup, and I do not have the forums under a directory called “members area” though. If you run bbPress in the default setup without putting it under the “members area” directory would it work on your site if you searched “forum” for your only forum on your site?

I am not entirely sure how you did the members area directory on your site in the first place, I am not entirely sure it is a sub directory in a multisite setup.

[Robkk]

bbPress reply posts are having issues with CSS from your theme that is for WordPress comments.

Try this CSS, add it to your child themes style.css file or add it to a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums .reply a {
  float: none;
  padding: 0;
  color: inherit;
  font-size: inherit;
  display: initial;
  position: initial;
}

[Robkk]

@pestocat for the latest bbPress v2 plugin, you need to install the Akismet plugin from wordpress.org.

[Robkk]

@rothaar bbPress by default does not have this kind of layout or the “by” in the last post column, so it is definitely your theme.

I think that the “by” is just in a template, maybe loop-single-topic.php and loop-single-forum.php in your theme.

It might be best to create a child theme and manually edit the template and then translate the word to your language.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Just copy your main themes bbPress templates into your child theme, and edit the files I listed above.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Karen,

I suspect that is coming from your theme and not from bbPress as I don’t recognize that column as being standard WordPress.

If this is a public site, could you post the link here so I have a look ?

Thanks,
Pascal.
