Sounds kind of neat for threaded replies, make a feature request in the bbPress trac.

Login and create a ticket.

Subscriber makes sense for a default WordPress role since WordPress was just for blogs, so the default registrant role would be a subscriber to see your blog posts.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

Try creating a test user by manually doing so with an additional email you may have in the WordPress Register form. Then see what the forum role is. If it is blank still, make a test forum post to see if it changes.

You can also try some troubleshooting if something is messing with the forum role being set.

I’m having all sorts of html code show up as part of bbpress email notifications. Worst when the text is pasted in from other webpages or emails, but that’s unavoidable with lots of people using a forum.

Even random   characters when someone types directly in the editor.

I’m using wordpress’s built in mce editor with only visual mode available. Latest versions of wp and bb. Are there any solutions to fix this?

Example:

Thanks in advance! Rich

This does not have to do with bbPress…but.

If Drupal was your first CMS read this guide.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#Drupal

You may need to hire a developer again if you had more customizations created then just migrating from one CMS to another.

Hi all, is there any way to restrict that email notifications in a topic only apply to 2nd level replies to my reply? And not for other users replies on the same topic.

I don’t want to receive notifications of other replies in the topic I have replied.

Running:
– WordPress 4.1.5
– bbPress: 2.5.6

Thanks in advance!

[IkerMB]

Nothing, it is imposible, I see that checkbox that say Forum is checked. ok.

now I go to foro (in the screen menu on the left) and click in the area Forum my three forum and i click “add menu” well, if I make this, I see in the menu the three options individual too.

If I do not have in the menu one options that put FORUM, how can wordpress know that I want in the menu one windows that put forum.

If i selecc the three forums in forum (for example, sport,football, rugby) I see in the menu sport,football and rugby) because inside the menu there aren´t a windows forum.

I have asked for help twice and this has been deleted. I have read through the forum, searched the help files, and followed all requests. Please let me know what I am doing wrong but I need help with this.

Divi Theme latest version
Wordpress 4.3
bb press 2.5.8
Links:
mysite.com/horizon/
mysite.com/ims/

I have to create multiple pages like the ones above. I have created the forums for each page which include: parents, teachers, students but the problem comes with the post into a board. I had to remove breadcrumbs since it took them back to the forum home with all the boards. I am going to have many more pages like above. Is there a way to have when they post go back to the page they came from?

Right now after they submit they see this with no way to get back to say this page mysite.com/ims/

[Robkk]

Sorry for the late reply, but I couldn’t find a soltution to find a specific user with the ID of 1000.

This shows recently registered users but you would have to keep track of who is the 1000th user.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/new-user-dashboard/

Other than that it may be custom development and you may need to hire a developer.

[Robkk]

Sorry for the late reply.

CAn you create me an account so I could see the issue first hand, and possibly see what is causing the issue.

You can send me the login information to my email.

Sorry for the late reply. I hate this issue you have, because I cannot really find a resolution without straight up guessing to try to find something.

I do see that you have removed it though. But you do not need to remove it with CSS or it will hide the other notices too.

You can try this PHP function instead.

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' );
function ja_return_blank() {
    return '';
}

If you want you can contact me so I can just see what could be causing the issue.

It is just like customizing a regular WordPress theme.

Just copy the bbpress.css file into your child theme in a folder called css then edit it to your liking.

Try any of the steps in the Internal Server Error part.

It is weird that when I check the teststudents blog in the dashboard, I can see users listed as Participant as their site role, while it should be Subscriber.

The WordPress backend menu is all off when I hover over menu items. I do not know what is causing that. Also some bbPress tools in the Tools section, seem to have their own menu items also, which I do not know why.

There also seems to be forums on some blogs with the same content too??

This is one for example.

http://theglobalschool.net/science/tilliemcr/forums/topic/hello-world/

You can probably find more by visiting the site, and adding /forums at the end of the url.

If you haven’t already try some troubleshooting to see what is causing all of this.

That is a really old topic that used bbPress v1 standalone, which is entirely different software than what you have now. So I would recommend not using any code from topics about 3 or more years old.

You may need to install a Find and Replace plugin to remove the tt tags, or just change back to break tags.

To add mutiple line breaks you may need to read this, maybe install the mentioned plugin, and maybe also active TinyMCE in bbPress using the bbPress Enable TinyMCE plugin.

Thanks for finding that bug. I will create a trac ticket for this.

You can use the default registration forms in WordPress instead. The bbPress register shortcode is not really complete in functionality. The login shortcode should work decent enough though.

no ideas, anyone? 🙁

(ps: forgot to say: i am using the latest version of bbpress and wordpress.)

I’m going through the odious task of importing a Ning forum to bbPress. The hard part (or so I thought) is done. I was able to get about everything from Ning into BuddyPress.

However, when I get to the last phase–BuddyPress to bbPress migration–which I thought would be easy-peasy, I lose all the replies to the forum topics! I’m following the migration process exactly (as far as I know) but it always fails. Here are the details:

I’m currently on a local server using XAMPP.
WordPress 4.2.4
BuddyPress 2.3.3 (using the default theme)
bbPress 2.5.8

The only other plugins I have installed are The Events Calendar (which you kind of need for the Ning conversion) and BackupBuddy, so that I can restore/reset after every unsuccessful attempt.

I have a smallish forum of fewer than 100 people and 4 groups.

At the time of this writing, I’ve restored the site to its last successful state:
– All data successfully imported into BuddyPress
– bbPress is installed and activated
– Final migration has not yet been attempted.

So, you can see all forums and replies, etc., in the BuddyPress theme on the site. The bbPress forums section in the admin menu is empty, as expected.

Now my typical next step, which always fails, is to follow the codex on migrating forums from BuddyPress to bbPress. I’ve been following it to the letter:

Migrating from old forums to bbPress 2.2+

Unfortunately, during Step 5, the actual import step, I get the following error message:


WordPress database error: [Table 'foo.wp_bb_terms' doesn't exist]

SELECT convert(term_relationships.object_id USING "utf8mb4") AS object_id,convert(term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id USING "utf8mb4") AS term_taxonomy_id,convert(terms.name USING "utf8mb4") AS name,convert(terms.slug USING "utf8mb4") AS slug FROM wp_bb_term_relationships AS term_relationships INNER JOIN wp_bb_term_taxonomy AS term_taxonomy USING (term_taxonomy_id) INNER JOIN wp_bb_terms AS terms USING (term_id) LIMIT 0, 100


I can’t tell if it is just complaining or if the import has actually failed at that point. Nevertheless, I finish all the steps. At that point, the groups have become forums in bbPress and the topics have transferred but only the first post in each. All replies are gone and I haven’t found any way to restore them.

One additional detail–I don’t know if it’s relevant. In order to do the Ning conversion, it’s best if you use BuddyPress v1.6, which I did. Afterward, I updated to the latest version. (Is that why wp_bb_terms didn’t get created?)

I’d greatly appreciate any insight on this. I’m so happy to be getting away from Ning–I can’t believe I’m getting tripped up on the WP side! 🙂

I created a WordPress page with the name “Diskusjon” and changed the root of bbPress to be this in the settings. Now bbp-single-forum shortcode won’t work. It just shows the forum index, something I tried to avoid by creating this standalone page as root. Any tips?

[Robkk]

bbPress does not add a subscriptions menu item in the backend of WordPress. There is this in your frontend forum profile though.

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/andyrushtonprogramming/subscriptions

[Pascal Casier]

Hi Andy,
For the ‘subscriptions menu’ item I cannot help you I’m afraid.

For the emails I have had issues myself and did these:
– Installed an email logging plugin so I could find out why some emails were not sent
– Installed an SMTP plugin, correctly configured, to make sure ALL emails were sent
– Created my own plugin to make sure I see that people are really subscribed to the forum (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-manage-subscriptions/). Nothing sophisticated and just for my own needs, but if it can be of any help…

For the ‘notifications’, don’t fall into the same trap like me: You don’t get notifications for topics you create yourself ! So use at least 2 accounts to test. Also the email logging showed how TO: and CC: fields were filled.

Hope it points you in a correct direction,
Pascal.

Hello,

Perhaps I just haven’t read enough about the forums feature, but where I’ve been looking for answers isn’t helping.

First of all, there doesn’t seem to be a way to make the forums invisible to the general public. I have a membership site with elementary-aged students; I can NOT have the forums visible to the general public. Is there something I’m missing about how to make that happen? For everything else on my site, the fact that I put that that the content is protected and the membership level works; this is visible to EVERYBODY. My understanding is that if I put private or hidden, only I can see it, correct? What do I need to do to make this forum only visible to site members?

Then there’s the actual member issue: It’s telling my site members that they have to be logged in to post. Well, not only should they not be able to see the forum if they’re not logged in (they can), but they are already logged in when they access the link, so why is it saying that they have to log in? Do they specifically need a WordPress account? Does their account with my site not do the trick?

My site is updated to the latest WordPress version and I’m using the Spacious theme.
