Why did you contact bbPress support??

I think that plugin is for WordPress themes??

Also links to that plugin are quite about 5 years old, and it is not on the wordpress.org repository.

You may need to contact the plugin author, if it is still supported.

Hi all, I am new to bbpress support forum and I have no idea how to create a new support topic, and no way to contact site admin directly, so please forgive me to post it here.

Could someone please tell me how I can create a new support topic on bbpress.org support forum? I am able to login using my wordpress account information, but nowhere I can see any button for me to create my own request of support topic. Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi,

Here is what I see using codestyling localisation :

Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that.

Thanks.

It is weird that you got this new issue. I just tested the snippet again on my WAMP server to check with the latest version of WordPress, switched to German again, and also see if it conflicts with the last code snippet I gave you, but I do not see an issue on my side.

Hi,

I have two menu areas on my website: main and top. I would like to add user profile link to top menu only.

I found this example, which was were useful: https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#8-add-edit-profile-to-a-wordpress-menu But it adds link to both menus, top and main. I would like to add user profile link only to top menu, without adding it to main menu.

Can you help me please?

just had the problem that on all not bbpress-related pages the title was ” ‘s “.
When commenting out the part for “User is viewing someone else’s profile” it’s working correctly on all pages, also when viewing another profile:

else {
			$new_title['text'] = sprintf( esc_attr_x( "%s's", 'User viewing another users profile', 'bbpress' ), get_userdata( bbp_get_user_id() )->display_name );
       }

fyi new occurred, just had a wordpress update recently

I think it is how the subscriptions work, this might be a reason TinyMCE was disabled by default too, and also for security reasons.

There may not be an easy way to fix this without editing the core files of bbPress.

Like I said I created this trac ticket awhile ago that is about this issue. It might take awhile before a patch is made into the bbPress plugin update though.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2865

This might do it since it says it works with custom post types.

Okay I tested this theme again today and found some issues are actually in the bbPress plugin right now, but it is fixed in the latest dev version.

The user profile page being transparent is related to this bug listed here for theme compatibility.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2545

This is what the profile page and its sub pages looks like this with the modification in the bbPress plugin and without any WP Fix plugins, a custom bbpress.php, without transferring the bbPress templates into the theme.

There is also a possibility to fix the forum search, views listing, topic tag archive, moving replies, easily by either using archive and single for most of these bbPress pages to have better compatibility with these type frameworks. For example it might be best to use is_tax() for topic tag archives but using is_archive() will definitely work for most themes and theme frameworks.

Creating a bbpress.php is sort of a workaround for this. I do not have that much familiarality with the theme and framework that you have to know exactly how it needs to be to post anything to help with this quite yet.

I thought that guide would help you get most of the way there, since all you would need to change is the urls of your site, but I guess you are just transferring basically from bbPress to bbPress.

Something like this would definitely help in your case though.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2605

I guess you can try Exporting and Importing through the regular WordPress tools provided in the Tools section. I tried just exporting all the bbPress post types Forums, Topics, Replies, then run the repair tools, but that did not help and kind of messed up my test site. You can try that, maybe using ALL content instead or not running the repair tools though I recommend using a test server/local development area first.

If the amember software unifies with the wordpress accounts it should work fine with bbPress. You do not need to use the bbPress authentication forms if it does this as bbPress just uses WordPress for authenticating users.

WordPress Version: 4.3.1
Theme: Omega
bbPress Version: 2.5.8

Issue: I installed the bbPress plug-in. Created a Forum called Forum, and created one Topic so I can test. All bbPress settings are left as default.

I created a Page called Forums and added this page to my site navigation.

My issues are 3 fold.
1) When I click on “Forum” in the site navigation to access the page I created I do not see any forum imbedded on this page, all I see is are the words “Archives” then the title “Forums” in the main body of text.
2) If I click on the title Forums this does direct me to the bbPress Forum I created – How do I integrate the Forum directly onto the “Forums” custom page I created?
3) I notice the Forum URL is <sitename>/forums/forum/forum/ is there a way to remove 2 of these levels so the URL is simply <sitename>/forums

I hope this makes sense and you are able to help.
Kind regards,
Tom.

I am trying to add a forum to my site and have it protected by aMember. The user must have access to a certain product in aMember in order to access the forum. I’m totally confused as to whether I should be creating a bbPress login page or if the user should login through aMember. Nothing seems to be working.

Can someone help map out how this should look with the two integrated? I don’t want the user to have to login twice and I don’t believe they should since aMember and WordPress share a database (I think). Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Or if you know someone that would do this for a fee that would be great too. 🙂

Thank you,
Tanya

Try to see if it could be a plugin issue, like a spam plugin scanning a reply before it is posted or something.

Troubleshooting

It could also be the bbPress subscriptions hogging everything down. This plugin will hopefully help things out.

bbPress authentication forms are incomplete in functionality. It should stay on the same form and show the errors above the forms and all that, but it doesn’t just yet.

I recommend just using the default WordPress authentication forms.

I resolved this with some exploration. The plugin that was providing this notificatoin function is called bbPress Notify. When I went to its WordPress page I discovered that the developer had not updated this in quite a while and the forum had plenty of topics asking for help, but there had been no response.

Doing a quick plugin search I discovered the plugin bbPress (No Spam) was up to date. So I uninstalled bbPress Notify and installed bbPress Notify (No Spam). I sent a message through the forum and the notification sent had content in it!

I am not sure why bbPress Notify continued to work until just last week but clearly one of the other plugins was updated and prevented this one from inserting the content into the emails. This plugin also prevented the forum notification from attaching content.

If you need to use a notification plugin (by role), this would be the current one that works well. It is essentially the same plugin as bbPress Notify but with the addition of being able to set it to not send notification of spam via email. This is actually a great benefit. Recently a topic notification email that contained spam was sent out to the moderators from the dashboard via bbPress Notify and my hosting service locked my email down for over a week for sending unsolicited spam. They sent me a warning letter that they would close my account if I did it again. I was clueless what had happened until I found this plugin today.

Hello, I just installed bbpress on my site, and I am having a weird issue where users have to log in twice.

When I log in from the bbpress login widget, it redirects me to the “answer this math question” wordpress captcha page. After answering the math question, it then redirects me to the main wordpress backend login. After logging in again there, it takes me back to my wordpress front page, rather than the bbpress login page… What is going on here? This will be very confusing to users. How do I make it so once you log in from the bbpress login widget, it takes you to the forum (and so you only have to log in once)?

[Robkk]

bbPress uses the WordPress registration process, they are unified. THe bbPress shortcodes for lost password, registration, and login are there for frontend forms but they are incomplete in functionality, there shouldn’t be a problem with using the default WordPress registration form by default.

You can customize the default the WordPress forms by a plugin, or using some PHP functions too.

Hello. I appreciate this great plugin.

I have a problem.
Google webmaster says. You have duplicated titles on following pages.
http://honeys-anime.dev/forums/topic/death-parade-wallpaper-you-always-seek-for/
http://honeys-anime.dev/forums/topic/death-parade-wallpaper-you-always-seek-for/?bbp_reply_to=12994&_wpnonce=2f272af7eb

Actually, I want to set “noindex” meta tag in head section in under /?bbp_reply_to=*** all topics.
Please how to do that or please tell me which “bbp_is_***” shows these topics pages.
Thank you.

=== My Site ===
wordpress 4.3
bbpress 2.5.6

[Robkk]

It is just the WordPress backend menu items for managing forums. topics, and replies right??

what version of bbPress do you have??

Also I do not think IP address should be a cause to this issue.

[Robkk]

Create me a participant/subscriber account and send the login details to my email, then I will will try to find the issue using the account you created and see if regular participants can participate in the forums.

I’m in the process of moving an established WordPress/BBPress setup to a new server. It is installed in a 2nd level directory named http://[server]/town-square/ which is the WordPress install directory. It has been working fine on the old server for over a year. I am only using the BBPress and Calendar plugins. Their slugs are /town-square/forums/ and /town-square/calendar/

Clicking the links to those pages I get a 404.

I can login in as admin by directly accessing /town-square/wp-login.php (albeit with a funny pre-login that seems to be required by the hosting company). Logged in as admin I have access to all the usual dashboard functionality and the plugin config pages.

I also have access to the WordPress database by phpMyAdmin. I did alter a few of the wp_options values to reflect the new domain name that I am obliged to use until we can transfer the current domain name to the new server. Those changes corrected a few problems with the links that WordPress constructed.

My question is: How do I make the links to the plugin pages work via their slugs?

Many thanks
Tim

Hello, i put bbpress with the plugin wp social login, well, when I activate the plugin and put to login with facebook, twitter and google…. I have to put ID, and secret Key, to cofigurate….

Well. I activate the plugin, and a few hours later, I check that the people click in face,twitte or google to login to writte, INSIDE TO MY WORDPRESS PANEL CONTROL!!!

What happend? how can I configurate my plugin that the people register to writte in bbpress, no inside in my private blog!

[IkerMB]

I forgot to ask one think, when i want to access to my control panel in my blog, WordPress User and pasword, in this area appeare “LOGIN WITH”.. and logos of facebook, twitter and google.

But i do not want to appeare there, because it is only when I login in my control panel. I want to put on the page of my blog.

The thinking is that, at first when i made a test with the plugins, i could to put, and see the login in the page, but desinstaled and reinstaled and now it is imposible to see. (EVEN IF I PUT OTHER LOGIN PLUGIN).

I delete the cache already.

[KeithAdv]

Thanks for responding, Stephen!

Yeah, I agree that the converter is a pain! I was excited because I had gotten past that step (I think). My unexpected brickwall is between BuddyPress and bbPress.

The complete process I used is one that I originally documented here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-i-got-import-from-ning-to-work-for-me

tl/dr answer: I used BuddyPress 1.6.1 and the latest version of bbPress. I installed only BuddyPress during the Ning migration. After that was complete and looked good, I let BuddyPress update to its latest version and installed the latest version of bbPress. All topics AND replies existed at that point. I did the final migration from BuddyPress to bbPress and all replies disappeared.

I don’t know either of these two plugins well yet but the only clue I have is the wp_bb_terms error message. Perhaps the migration is failing at that point and causing the replies to become disconnected. I just don’t know.

It’s so frustrating to be THIS close!

[andyrushtonprogramming]

@robkk: I might just do that and add it to members’ WordPress profile. Thanks for the advice on this.
