Hi All,

I’m having some strange issues since this weekend, a weekend without anything happening on the server or installation side.

BBPress version: 2.5.7
Wordpress: 4.2.2 Avada theme

Problem 1:
When i want to a edit a topic, as moderator or as superuser, and press save or submit, the form won’t save. Changes are not visible most of the times, after several atempts it works but most of the time it doesnt. When pressing save it returns me back to the topic as is should, but without the changes I made.

Problem 2:
Is a bit the same as editing. When I create a new topic and press submit, it doesnt show up in my topic list (not on the user site, nor on the admin back-end). After several atempts, it creates a topic.

The problem isnt there when i create or edit a topic in the back-end (the WP dashboard), as superuser or moderator.

I hope someone can help me out!

The website is kb.bee-connected.nl but it is behind a password.

Thank you, Robin. I had done a post of my own to test, which worked. However, it now seems to be solved due to an update on Simple WordPress Membership (at least, it’s now visible, which is a relief). Fingers crossed!

new topic at the bottom of any forum page. You can add a link for this using

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack

As you learn, write it down, and you’ll soon have a guide !

I have set up a website for a local horticultural society with a forum restricted to society members. For the forum, I’m using bbpress; for the membership registration I’m using Simple WordPress Membership. I’m using the customizr theme and the latest version of WordPress. My problem is that, with our 1st topic, the first reply is hidden. I cannot find a way of unhiding it. I’ve posted a reply myself, which is visible, and tried reposting the text of the hidden reply. When I do this, I get van email altering me to the reply but still nothing is visible on the website. Please can someone help? The website is http://www.growchiswick.org.

Many thanks,

Jo Hodges

the bbpress authors believe this is a wordpress issue, so are waiting for them to fix

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly.

and

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2412

Whilst it is annoying with debug turned on, it is not a fatal error and goes away when debug turned off as it should be for production sites

[Robin W]

all is possible, but you’d need to pay someone to do that amount of work

use :

instead

I just installed bbpress on a brand new site. I have created a couple of test forums and topics. On the forum root it shows that there are topics and posts in the forums. However, when I click on a specific forum to view the topics, I get the following message: “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

By way of troubleshooting, I tried another WordPress theme. It worked, and the forums displayed as they should. Is there a way I can keep my current WordPress theme from conflicting with bbpress? I have no idea what is causing the conflict, only that it is being caused by the theme I am using. I don’t want to change themes, either.

[chia18]

I have a website where I need to keep some page visible just for some kind of users. So I have installe UAM User Admin Manager Plugin to my website. I have created a group of “special member” that can access everything. On every page or post I can setup the group “access”.
I can do the same with forum, topics and replies. But even if I select this option everythin is always visible to everyone. I cannot understand why. Can you help me please?

here you can see the forum in my website

Forum ALAO

and here a page for a restricted special member

Thank you!

I have had no problem editing the appearance of the forum until I tried to change the background color of the current navigation link on the user details page… its the list of link including profile, topics started, replies created, etc…

I have been editing it with the ‘custom css’ feature of my theme… this is what I added

#bbpress-forums #bbp-single-user-details #bbp-user-navigation li.current a {
background-color: #12681A;
}

I grabbed that code from the ‘inspector’ tool using F12 in my browser… just changed the color code… but is not affecting the page…

any suggestions why this particular element isn’t being affected?

This is an old topic but in case you’re still looking for help (or if helpful to someone else), this plugin allows you to use a shortcode to display a list of notifications (and other buddypress things) in a page or post:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bowe-codes/

[PinkishHue]

Do you mean that when a new user registers a topic containing their profile details would also be created in a specific forum?

That would be do-able I’m sure but would probably need custom coding, or there may be a plugin that will do this, you’d have to do some hunting on the forums here and on WordPress.org.

[PinkishHue]

If you want to temporarily disable a plugin(s) or custom theme you can access your site via FTP and move the folders (don’t delete!) out of their respective places. This will disable the plugin/set WordPress to use the default theme.

Then you should at least be able to login to your dashboard.

Hope that helps!

[PinkishHue]

You can probably use a regular WordPress plugin to do this, for example:

Thank Robin W for your link. I do all instructions in this topic but the issue is not fixes. I disable all my plugins except bbpress, also i change my default template for wordpress default theme but i get same error.

Hello, this is my second ost in this forum. I install bbpress plugin in my wordpress website and when i want to post topics or replies in my Front-End i get ERROR : Are you sure to do that ?.

Please i need your help

Hello,

My search function didn’t work for a good while (a search was redirecting to the homepage), and I realized today that it was an issue with buddypress or plugins I used with buddypress.
Now that I disabled Buddypress, I can now search the forum again but unfortunately, the search results are protected by a password.
I use s2member to protect one of my forum, so it is only accessible to subscribers, but all the other forums are opened. I tried to lift the s2member block of the subscribers forum but still the same thing happens anyway.
I also tested the issue with twenty fifteen and the same thing happened.

I am using bbpress Version 2.5.7, WordPress Version 4.2.2
Site is http://www.tourdecartes.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

[PLEASE ACCEPT THIS THREAD, IM NOT A ROBOT]

haha just do not post more than two links and you will be fine.

its not working, it says “User registration is currently not allowed

Go to settings > General in the WordPress back-end and allow anyone to register.

Is there a plugin or a method I can use to disable topic creation on a certain forum? I want to have a news forum for all my news posts and only allow comments on the topics I create, but not allow any topics to be created by anyone else. I do want users to be able to create topics in my other forums though. I noticed that turning the forum into a category kind of adds that ability, but then it removes the news forum for the forum page, which I don’t want.

I’ve been searching plugins and forums for the last couple hours without much luck. Any plugins that I’ve found that did this are way outdated and don’t seem to work correctly with new versions. I am using the newest version of wordpress and bbpress and in the middle of building a new theme from the ground up. Thanks for any advice anyone can provide.

[Robkk]

This plugins should help if you want more control.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/

Without a Plugin you have to add this to your child themes functions.php

add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'rkk_login_redirect' );
function rkk_login_redirect() {
    // Change forums to whatever is your forum main page
    return home_url( '/forums' );
}

[PinkishHue]

One way to achieve this sort of thing would be using the ‘Display Posts Shortcode’ plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/

Once installed you can add a shortcode to a post or page to display a list of all topics and replies:

[display-posts post_type=”topic,reply”]

and there’s lots of different settings you can customise, see documentation here:

https://github.com/billerickson/display-posts-shortcode/wiki

You may just need to customise the look of it to be more like a normal ‘activity’ page as normally this will just give a plain text list of your posts, so it depends on your needs.

Hope that helps 🙂

eta: You would still have to click on the posts in the list and go to their own page to add a reply. I’m not sure if that’s something you are trying to avoid when you say “batch process my replying right there. no clicking to forums” I’m presuming you just mean no clicking to see the posts, not for replying.

[alanft]

I’d love there to be somewhere to turn comments into replies, but it ain’t in settings > discussion.

I’ve googled lots of “import/convert wordpress comments to bbpress topics/replies” and got nowhere. The stumbling block being that WP comments are in wp_comments and bbpress replies are in wp_posts.

Anyone got a good solution for this?

[alekseevas]

Shmoo, thank you for help!
Please tell me whether to allow the plugin User Role Editor (for WordPress) to prescribe the role solely for integrated in WordPress Forum bbPress? (To these roles do not apply to the entire website to WordPress).

Hi,
in the website of one of my customers, bbpress works perfectly if the user is not logged in but, when I am logged as wordpress admin, the pages of the bbpress forum are not visibile and show a 500 error. The error-log file shows this error:

WordPress errore sul database Lost connection to MySQL server during query per la query SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id ) WHERE 1=1 AND (((wp_posts.post_title LIKE ‘%Ansia%’) OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE ‘%Ansia%’)) AND ((wp_posts.post_title LIKE ‘%intermittente%’) OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE ‘%intermittente%’))) AND (wp_posts.post_password = ”) AND (
( wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘_bbp_forum_id’ AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS SIGNED) != ’43’ )
) AND wp_posts.post_type IN (‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’) AND (wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘closed’) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 15 fatta da require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), include(‘/themes/supportdesk/search-topics.php’), bbp_has_search_results, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts

how can I fix it?
