Hello community !
First of all, I want to clarify that I’m french, so I apologize for my poor English !
I explain my problem :
I create a website with wordpress. A website that contains several little websites.
Each little website has a different navigation. To do this I use the plugin : Zen menu logic, which allows me to select the right menu assigned for each page/post/forum/topic/reply of my website. Ok.
The problem I have is the following :
when a user creates a new topic, the menu assigned to this new topic, is the main menu of wordpress.
at that time I could go in the wordpress admin, select the new subject which has just been created, and then assign the right menu but I want this operation to be automated !
So do you know how I could do to automatically assign the right menu to a forum and all its sub forum / topic ?
I tried many things but in vain !
Does someone have an idea ?
Thx a lot in advance !
I am working on wordpress project, In this I need to enable bbpress Forum to buddypress group section only. And not other forum functionality out of the group.
Please guide me any hook or other solution which will help me to implement this functionality.
Thanks
I am trying to edit replies within the admin panel and can’t access pages 2 onwards.
Page 1 works perfectly fine – and I am able to edit all replies that show on the page. The error also occurs when trying to see posts from a certain month only.
Using wordpress: 4.3.2
Bbpress: 2.5.8
Thanks in advance
Hi dear BBPress Community,
after a long while of thinking about using bbpress or not – i decided to use it. The thing is, that I had installed it once (a long while ago). And now I reinstalled it to configure and use it in combination with Buddypress.
But then – HEY – It is (although activated) completely invisible in my wordpress backend. I created a site called “forum” to see if there is something it puts out in the frontend. And yes – there are even my old test-forums shown, which I had created two years ago.
But still no chance to see or change any option in my backend.
Strange!
Can someone help, please? 😉
Warmest regards
Torsten
This is a result of a change in WordPress. I had this too – I don’t allow users to change their nickname so the nickname field on the edit form was disabled and didn’t submit (as was the intent). What I did was make the nickname field “readonly” rather than “disabled” and then added this in (you could add it to your functions.php)
user_nickname_is_login( $meta, $user, $update ){
$meta['nickname'] = $user->user_login;
return $meta;
}
add_filter( 'insert_user_meta', 'user_nickname_is_login', 10, 3 );
This sets the nickname as the user_login so you would change it to whatever the nickname should be. That function forces the nickname to be what I want — I know the field in the profile was readonly but it was still editable using dev tools and I didn’t want that!
After the update from WordPress 4.3.1 to 4.4.1 I receive the error message “ERROR: Please enter a nickname.” when I try to change any profile field in the bbpress profile frontend.
I was able to verify the bug without no other plugins enabled. I also verified that the bug does not exist in WordPress 4.3.1.
Is this a WordPress or a bbpress bug?
Hi, So yesterday, I installed bb press on my WordPress site. I finally created a forum, as well as a test topic. Knowing I wanted users to be able to create accounts, I went to settings>general and checked the anyone can create accounts box or something like that. but when I go to register, it is not sending me the email with a password. I can of course login with my username and password, or manually create accounts for who ever wants to use the forum, but that would be defeating the purpose of what I’m trying to do. I don’t know if something is not configured correctly in PHP mail, because I am fairly new with that. Any help would be much appreciated.
Yes, there’s an error with some of the menu_order bits. In addition to @nesiditsa’s edit (the same as this patch: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5392) you might need to apply these as well: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5338
Hi,
bbPress has a converter from vbulletin. You can install the latest stable bbPress 2.5.8 as a plugin to your WordPress and start the conversion. I would however like to indicate that bbPress 2.6-alpha (so not yet stable) is however much improved for conversions, so it could be an option to do it with that version.
You can find information on installing and importing in the codex: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/
WordPress 4.4.1
bbPress v 2.5.8
I have installed the forum all is good so far but I am wanting to limit access of the forum to registered users.
This forum is intended to be a benefit for paid members and I am using the Paid Membership Pro plugin and woocommerce to set up the memberships. While this plugin lets me limit other areas of my website to members, such is not the case for bbPress. Nor can I find a way in bbPress settings to limit access to registered users. I see where I can limit who can post but not who can visit and read the forums. Any thoughts on how I might make this work?
The site is http://iahnlp.org
Yes, the auto role for forums is Participant. Users were imported as Subscribers; but the resulting import did not list any role for the forum. Changing forum roles in bulk for users does not work. I tried with a personal account but although I can log in to WordPress, I cannot log in to the forums. How to continue? Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I have a forum that has been dead for a few months but I now want to bring it back – and would prefer it if the post and replies looked recent. How do I go about this? Is it a PhpMyadmin job or is there a way through the wordpress core?
Thanks
Hi,
bbPress builds on top of WordPress. Any WordPress user that has at least ‘participant’ access can post on your forums.
So you need to make sure your users stay ‘clean’. I use wangguard for that and Theme My Login with a captcha so I’m rather sure that my users are real and they get checked if they would be sploggers or not. So you will need some extra plugins to safeguard, or you make sure that everybody is set ‘for approval’ so you can decide.
But this is a pure WordPress matter, not a bbPress one.

For importing, did you try to do it in test on bbPress 2.6-alpha (https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip) ?
Importing has improved a lot in that version.

Hi!
WordPress 4.4.1 (i have this problem on older versions)
BbPress 2.5.8-5815
Installed plugins are:
bbPress Moderation
BuddyPress
GD bbPress Attachments
I’ve been stuck on this problem for a while now. We recently migrated our website from Rackspace to AWS hosting. Reinstalled wordpress, bbpress, and was able to migrate most of the site. Now I’m having problems with the Forums, Topics, and Replies.
On my forum page it shows the number of topic and replies, but when you click on it, it doesn’t show them, and on the topics you can click on, it won’t show the replies. I exported them using Tools>Export and exported Forums, Topics, and Replies, and imported them the same way, assigning them users. I can see every topic and reply in the wordpress panel, just not in my forums.
My forums can be seen here http://freeskies.co/forums/forums/.
This problem also affects new topics. When I create a new topic, it will remove all of these topics and posts and reset the count, even though i can still see them in the wordpress panel.
I don’t really know that much of it, but look at the URL you have when you see that message. Probably you have an ‘action’ variable that has no or an incorrect ‘_wpnonce’.
AN example of a correct url : https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/WordPress-Nonces-nonces-in-url.png
Hi,
That is a WordPress issue, not a specific bbPress issue. In most of the cases it is because WordPress checks for Nonce in an admin url and the check fails. You will have to search in that way.

Hi guys,
I need some help, I want to change the size of the font on the forum I have just created on my website. I am not up with CSS but am willing to try if someone can guide me. I am currently using the egamer theme from elegant themes with wordpress V 4.4.1.
The page with my forums on it is: http://www.gamersden.com.au/forum/
The forum topic headers are too big in my opinion.
Thanks in advance
@superaven @willywonkabar
v2.6 is in a pretty advanced state now. You can download the current alpha version from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip . It has improved a lot in, amongst other things, importing from other forums.
It would be of great help if both of you could test it and let us know your feeling about it.
Pascal.
Hey willywonkabar,
Unfortunately, I never tried. As mentioned further up, the fix needed for us to do so was supposed to be rolled into v2.6 which was due out soon. You’ll note on the download page that after all this time, the latest stable release is still at 2.5.8, so unfortunately BBPress isn’t even an option for us yet. Really sucks, because we’ve lost massive amounts of traffic struggling with bridge options and so far none have been all that great. We moved from vBulletin and settled on Xenforo as at least there appeared to be plugins to bridge their forum system to WordPress, but we’ve found after paying and testing the top 3 or so, that all come with compromises of one sort or another. We’re actually in the process of a major development effort now to move from a fully custom theme to a commercial theme for the purposes of simplifying the complexity of everything and dropping the various plugins and custom development we’d been using for our authentication and member roles. Hoping this improves the situation with the bridge, but not holding my breath. I really wish I could move us to an integrated solution like BBPress so we no longer have to worry about hacked bridges and unreliable authentication, but until BBPress improves the methods of how data is stored, it isn’t an option for large / active forums.
Sorry I don’t have better news for you.
try
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
‘extras’ tab looks like it is close to what you want, or
[bsp-display-forum-index forum= ‘2932, 2921′ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’] from the shortcodes in the style pack plugin may work for you
I had the same problem and did as said in WordPress.org forum:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-stop-cache-on-specific-folder?replies=2
problem solved and no need to disable WP Super Cache
at least, by now, it worked.
I use wordpress version 4.41 and bbpress 2.5.8. i have created a forum with bbpress, but users can’t login to the site. users get ‘blocked’ on a blank page at the top left corner of the page. i cannot even login except through wp-admin.
please i need an advice in resolving this issue.
