Hi –
My client has all his images on Photobucket. I’m building a new forum for him and he wants all his forum users to be able to paste the link from a photo sharing service (such as Photobucket and others) and have the forum topic automatically show the image.

Through researching this site, it looks like Photobucket is no longer supported in WordPress. Is there a workaround? In general, what should advice be for linking to images that are stored elsewhere?

Thanks –
Lara

Hey guys and gals

Hope all is well!

First off, thank you taking the time to help, it’s appreciated.

I’ve started to build a wordpress blog ( Fat Burner Depot ) It’s wordpress 4.2.1, if that helps.

I’ve seen a site where bbpress loads into a standard static wordpress page. Shouldn’t I be able to copy and paste the index code into the body of the page text? Just as long as the paths to the rest of bbpress files are right? Is there a better way to go about this?

Anyone can help me out?
Thank you!!

[Robkk]

Really appreciate the response, I get NOTHING from yootheme which is a bit sad 🙁

yeah ive seen quite a couple people not get support on their end for this common issue.

i had a user with the similar issue say that the first wp fix resolved the issue they had with the warp7 framework.

for now you can install this plugin and find the file your forums are using for bbPress.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/what-the-file/

then maybe copy that into a child theme and rename it to bbpress.php from it and remove any unwanted code.

this guide will help hopefully

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

you can also create an admin account for me so i can check out your theme files and see how to fix this. send the login details to my email.

Hello

This is forums main page https://www.jkyog.org/forums/
and this is a sub-forum https://www.jkyog.org/forums/forum/yoga-meditation-2/

In Sub-forums Freshness is: 1 week, 2 days ago and in main forums page it display 4 weeks ago with some other random user..

When users are posting non stop then Freshness is coming correct but if i delete any spam replay, or if we don’t post anything from long time then main forums page Freshness will change itself into some random user and time..

Tried couple of things like:

All plugins disable expect bbpress
Caching disabled
Recalculate everything from Tools
Changed theme to default / All plugins, wordpress version etc updated to recent version

But no success will appreciate if someone can provide solution or hint!

Thanks.

private groups is my plugin…

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

or just buddypress?

[Robkk]

i think any rating plugin should work with bbPress but you would have to manually configure most of them in the bbPress templates in your child theme.

you can follow the very bottom of this topic and use the thumbs rating plugin.

you could probably use CSS to make the blocks actually look like thumbs or something.

Request: Voting

there is also this from a really popular developer , usually some of his plugins are good for bbPress.

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

random list of post rating plugins

wordpress.org/plugins/voter-plugin/
wordpress.org/plugins/voting/
wordpress.org/plugins/kento-vote/

Are there any other options? Could the programmers possibly consider making it a standard part of bbPress? It does seem like such a standard function nowadays.

This really looks like it should be plugin territory, there are already so many options to choose from WordPress plugins and some quite different , its kind of good for people to have options on this.

I’ve found a simple solution to this issue. Just start every topic as open then change the status to closed via the Edit topic on the wordpress toolbar. That fixed the problem for me. There’s probably a more efficient method. If anyone finds it,please let us know.

[Preexist Kudos]

if i use this plugin and Awesome Support i have error

<b>Notice</b>: 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 <b>/blog/wp-includes/functions.php</b> on line <b>3560</b>

[Robkk]

you can add it to your child themes functions.php or this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/

[Robkk]

i don’t know if you could make a specific topic anonymous but i will check it out.

if i cant find anything you might need to post a job and hire a developer to do this for you.

[Robkk]

try all the general troubleshooting first, if you have other plugins deactivate them, and switch to a default theme like twentytwelve or twentyfifteen.

create me a simple subscriber/participant account so i can check out the quicktags toolbar, send the login details to my email.

search like google or the wordpress search??

you might have to edit your forum in the back-end of WordPress and if you have an SEO plugin activated change it to NOINDEX.

reply back if you need more help with this.

[Robkk]

The additional fields might have to be some custom development so consider hiring a developer.

bbpress themes are just wordpress themes now.

so you could just any wordpress theme

if you really want to pay you can go follow this link below

i already searched bbpress so all you have to do is check all of these in the list.

I would like for my users to have the option of creating topics for the forum through the toolbar option ‘+ New‘ that the admin or moderators have. Many users will not understand the minimalist editor (the same that this forum has) and may discourage user threads and possibly replies. One of the plugins I installed was User Role Editor as you cannot change permissions by default. Is there something that I am missing within that plugin or what are the available options? Even if users could not use the editor I use TinyMCE Advanced I would be happy; though I would prefer if they had access to that editor.

WordPress Version: 4.2.1
BBPress version 2.5.7

[fab_pj]

Hello there, I am running my website on WordPress 4.2.1
bbpress version is 2.5.7 and buddypress version is 2.2.3.1.
Now, I have a private set of pages, and within these pages I have my forums and members only content. I was so glad to have buddypress and bbpress working together happily ever after, but then out of the blue once I clicked on ‘allow buddypress to have its own group’ my wordpress went into the ‘white screen of death’.

I am not a developer, but thank goodness I know how to deactivate my plugins.
Long story short, if I activate one of the two (either buddy press or bbpress) everything works fine. Once I active them both, BAM, white screen of death appears.

I know that Envato themes have been having issues with plugins recently, but I find it odd that the white screen happened as soon as I ticked the option. I deleted and reinstalled the whole thing, and now it appears to work as long as I don’t click on that option.

thought you’d like to know, this is the website for reference:

Hello everyone,
first, I would like to apologize if my writting is not very good, but I’m french and I’m not used in english phrases. And that’s why I dont’ understand some explainations on the blog. so please be soft with me.

I would like to create a page wich gives a view of the last replies of my forum. I tried to create a new page with the short code [bbp-single-view id="last-replies"] but it does’n work when I clik on that page I have a notice “Aucun sujet n’a été trouvé ici!” which means “no topic has been found here!”

I have others questions about short-codes meaning, but I’m going to ask it in another topics.

thanks for your answers.

Hi,

Well, I am a bit frustrated 🙂 due to the bbPress 2.5.7 plugin. At first, nothing was going on, as long as I kept logged in after the install. However, after I wanted to login in my admin panel after the initial installation 3 hours later, a problem emerged.

I found out that the bbPress 2.5.7 installation on my WP 4.1.2 (also 4.2.1) platform results in a redirection loop to my homepage, locking myself (admin) continously out. The funny thing is that I am actually logged in. I can see that at the front end.

When I click on my backend tab in Chrome, which normally loads:

http://www.wordpress.spiritueleverlichting.nl/wp-login.php

I am redirected to the homepage, though I am actually logged in.

I have tried the following:

– deactivating all plugins, to no avail
– switching themes (20-15), to no avail
– asking support from Siteground, everything is set up correctly according to them

Via FTP I change the bbPress folder name so I am able to access the backend. Once logged in, I change the folder name back to its original name.

What is interesting is that when I log out while bbPress activited, the following URL emerges after the log out:

http://www.wordpress.spiritueleverlichting.nl/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wordpress.spiritueleverlichting.nl%2Fwp-admin%2Findex.php%3Fpage%3Dbbp-about%26loggedout%3Dtrue&reauth=1

And in my error log, I found the following script:

mod_hive matched URI – normal admin URL – with match 2, referer: – admin URL with redirection

I am just wondering if somebody has something meaningful to say about the redirection loop to my homepage.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,
Bark

I am missing all of the html formatting buttons with the exception of “close tags”. I have them turned on in the settings, but nothing is visible for my users. Any suggestions of where to start?

My website is http://www.allthingsbranson.com/forums

I am using the latest wordpress and bbpress. I tried uninstalling and deleting the plugin and reinstalling the latest version. Sacrificing all of our topics, I still had no luck correcting this issue.

[Robert.S]

Thanks a bunch for the code, both @robkk and @undergroundnetwork!

I’m running Avada theme, with latest WordPress 4.2.1 and BBPress 2.5.7 and this works perfectly.

Seems like this *should* be an option in WordPress when BBPress is installed: “Check the box to include Forum Topics and Replies in the sitewide search”. Would be a helpful addition.

Luckily we have this resource, so thanks again for the code snippets.

Hi everyone

I am having a lot of trouble getting bbPress to work with my WordPress site that is using the Warp7 framework from yootheme.

Some views work fine, like the main forum view, adding topics and replies but there are some that don’t give any content back like when you click on an author’s name, and others that look a bit messed up like when you look at the list of all forums.

The site is live but this page is not in the menus yet, feel free to have a look if that helps:

http://www.aida.org.au/forum-test/topic/welcome-to-the-aida-members-forum/

I know that the Warp7 framework does things in a bit of a non-traditional way, but I am hoping that someone can help me get these two to play nicely together!

Thanks in advance

and once set up, it will filter the search results

[Scrooge3]

Hello!

Until recently I have got no problems but when I upgraded my WordPress to 4.2 version and my Bbpress to 2.5.7 version all the topics disappeared. I`ve got them on my dashboard, but when I try to find them in the user mode I fail. It is written that no topic has been created yet. How to fix this problem, who knows? Is there any way to do that without waiting for some patches? Well, the way to do that with help of shiftback to the older version of WP is not the right one, because other plugins on my site require it.

Thanks for you possible help!

[Nicolas Korobochkin]

Hi. The ending / (trailing slash?) added automaticly if you setup something like /news/%POST_ID%/ on the WordPress permalinks page. And not be added if no slash at the end — /news/%POST_ID%. This works because I use user_trailingslashit() inside the code.

BuddyPress group forums not supported yet. Something hardcoded inside and I not find the solution to this issue right now but I keep digging. 🙂

[tylersoden]

If anyone stumbles upon this thread and is interested in a css solution, here is the code I use. It goes in the ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Editor’ section on the wordpress control panel or in ‘~/<your theme folder>/style.css’:

.bbp-template-notice.info { display: none; }
