Latest versions of bbpress, WordPress and all other Plugins.
bbpress uses wordpress registration and assigns the default role set in settings>forums upon first user login.
so any wordpress registration will work
bbpress has a shortcodes
[bbp-login] – Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
or you can use sidebar widgets also
On our bbPress (2.5.7) admins don’t get an email notification if a new post is added, but do get a notification if a reply is posted. Is this default behavior?
If yes, do I need a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notifications/ to handle this?
If no, what could be wrong on our install?
Besides bbPress we use the plugins “bbP Members Only” and “GD bbPress Attachments”.
Hey Guys,
I have the latest WordPress 4.1.2 and bbPress 2.5.7 and I’m having a problem where when I search for a user in the admin of WordPress and try and either bulk edit the user or click on the User Profile link and I get redirected to the home page.
I have narrowed it down to a conflict with the Groups plugin 1.5.1 and I’m wondering if anyone else has found this?
Other points:
– User links work to edit the profile or bulk edit if you DON’T search but we can’t do this as our user db is 1,400 odd people and it takes too long
– I’ve tried changing to the default theme and deactivating all plugins and it still happens
– I have tried installing bbPress 2.5.7 and Groups 1.5.1 on a fresh install of WordPress and got the same results with a user database of 2 people.
It only happens when you search… If I remove the wp_http_referrer information from the User Edit Profile link the link works… There’s some weird conflict going on with the referrer in the link…
Any help greatly appreciated by all!
Hi Guys,
Did anyone get a solution to this problem? I’m experiencing a very similar thing with
Wordpress v4.1.2
BBPress v2.5.7
I’ve tried deactivating all plugins and going to the default theme but clicking on usernames in the admin when trying to edit a profile is taking me to the home page… Just wondering if there was a solution it might help me too!
what I mean is, their is no registration forum, it direct me when I try to register to my wordpress login page, will I need to download registration forum plugin, or when I can see the registration forum screen, thanks
Hi Robkk, no I did not create a bbpress.php, nor did I make any other changes than shown in the other thread – I added some definitions to the css of our theme, to adjust the width problem at forums list and at topic (content) display.
I guess, now I could either fix also the width of the editor area individually and hopefully then I’m done (but how?), or try to find the cause of the problem between bbPress and our theme.

i say look how this plugin is developed and see if you could learn a thing about adding what you want to yours.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/
combining the replies/topics/forums section i can see something good about , i think ive seen a plugin customize the look to look like this way actually.
the items at the top i dont agree with you , if you want something like that use this instead.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-admin-bar-addition/
if you can put some images of the layout you would like to see.
this might be some custom development
post a job so a developer can develop this for you.

its better if you have some kind of community already like from users commenting on your site a lot , or facebook/twitter users.
but i have seen people pay for other people to make the site look active.
i have also saw a video about the creators of the reddit.com site use to make a bunch of dummy accounts that they would switch to , to make their site seem active.
if you are going to switch to a bunch of accounts
this might help

well a good idea would be to have a tinymce button that pops up a modal when clicked and shows an upload button to add images and then you would accept the uploaded pictures and post it in the content with an anchor tag wrapped image. but we do not have anything like that.
for now you can use this plugin to upload pictures
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
and oembed would automactically embed any links to images from imugur and flickr.
you could also use the img button to show an image from external sources too.
@vinzen
you can create a new widget based off of the default recent topics widget and customize it to your liking. or you can edit this
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-advanced-recent-topics-widget/
and add the topic tag thing you want.
s2member will allow creating a paid membership bbpress site and restrict access to specific forums by user role (membership level)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/
paid membership pro works with bbpress as well, requires (free) optional add-on plugins to restrict forums per member levels and/or per user role

Hi,
I am currently converting over a fairly large Xenforo forum to bbPress.
Something like 14,000 users – 41,000 topics – 250,000 replies.
I managed to move everything over without much effort or problem; let it run overnight..
The problem I’m having is running repair.
I managed to run ALL repair functions (one at a time) except:
[Recalculate the position of each reply]
Is this really required? I’m 6 hours into my 3rd attempt.
I keep having to adjust this or that, increase this or that, and raise Execution time, etc.
Even got a white screen a few times which I assumed was a timeout.
My server has virtually unlimited resources. It has 64gb of memory and 12 cores I believe. It is divided up into two seperate VMs. 8GB Ram for the database server and the remaining for the web server. Only using SSD drives. Only 4 wordpress sites running on server.
I’ve read that some imports don’t require the [Recalculate the position of each reply] to be run but I don’t know if Xenforo imports require it.
Really appreciate some insight.
Thanks,

Hello,
I’d like to find a way to have all users on the forums be able to upload images and have them embedded in a post. I’ve tried both solutions below and Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab only links the image and inserting the code from the second link doesn’t work.
bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab
Add media upload button to bbpress
Any new insight on achieving this? The media button would be perfect for what I’m looking for.
Thanks!
thanks I follow your instruction has u said, but when I try to register it direct me to my wordpress login page click here and here also please am new to wordpress, help me
Hey,

This solved my problem immediatly, so Thanks alot to him!!:)
Hi,
I haven’t changed anything to my wordpress or BBPress, but for some reason, people can’t post long forum posts.
They click post, the page refreshes, they’re at the top of the page, and then scroll down and see the post in the posting area, unposted.
Weird.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Simon
Indeed we use the user ID, an integer, the only work around for this would be to make a custom user table in one of two ways:
1) A a table with a unique ID linked to each email and join this table in the the user section of the import script
2) Similar to the above, but add a column to each of your four databases with a unique ID for each email address that will be common across all four DB’s.
Thinking out loud both above and now, option 1 is kind of out, to keep performance reasonably quickly each forum, topic, and reply uses an integer ID for the post and bbPress uses this same method for all 25 importers except one, only one includes the email address of the poster in the topic and reply tables and each topic/reply is imported based on the original topic/reply author ID.
In the end (or the beginning) you need to “normalise” your data from 4 databases to match 1, thinking the other way round, do your import into 4 separate WordPress installs and then merge the 4 WP install DB tables into a single DB. The benefit of this is that all your data will be now “normalised” in the WordPress format and then it’s a matter of updating the duplicate user ID’s to the primary user ID and remove the now redundant user ids.

you can use bbPress profile code on Woocommerce templates if you know what you are doing.
it could just be copying the user-details.php file from the bbPress templates and adding a simple link to your my account page from wwocommerce.
i suggest you hire a developer if you want anymore customization and possible merging templates of bbPress and Woocommerce.

Hello , i just installed bbpress on my wordpress , i opened new Theme page and echo shortcode [bbp-forum-index] , i can see the forum , but when enter the test forum , it’s not enter inside it , what to do i don’t know bbPress much , here a link to my forum page :
http://xn—-7hcbracas6eta3ak.tv/forums/
sorry for Language but you should understand because forums is at middle there and i am sure you can see it clearly , Thanks in advacned.
well you can have wordpress at the root of your whole site and not just have it in a folder.
if you do that all you would have to do is create a seperate blog page and a static home page.
your blog page would show all your recent posts like it would by default.
if you install bbPress while WordPress is not in a subfolder , by default the forum archive url will be yoursite.com/forums but you could change the forum slug to ‘forum’ or remove the ‘forums’ slug because your url will look like yoursite.com/forum/forum/forum-name instead of the default yoursite.com/forums/forum/forum-name.
Does that work out for you?? or is there a specific reason you want wordpress to be in a blog folder.

do not create duplicate topics , and do not bump a topics especially with just a period.
Because i hate trying to guess what could cause the issue , you can send me login details to a new Admin account so i can overview your site to find what may cause the issue. Im not going to change any setting but just look over everything, if i think something could be causing the issue i will email you what it is. When I’m done overlooking everything i will email you that im done , then you could delete the Admin account you created for me.

When a user activates the plugin, they get three new items on their wp-admin board. Forums, Topics, and Replies.
Then in the tools section we have tools to solve basic issues with the plugin.
Finally in the Settings tab we have the Forums menu again to allow us to control basic settings of the plugin.
The problem with this layout… It’s TOO much and it’s very scattered. I would think the admin structure would be better if we took all the different items and put them under 1 category. Forum or bbPress whichever sounds better I guess.
From there we would have the main landing page which would either be the latest update information or the settings page.
Across the top we would have replies, forums, topics. (in any order I suppose). Then from there we would have the ability to create new or edit past pages in those categories.
Pros
– Much Cleaner administration board
– Easier to find what you are looking for.
Cons
– More clicking to get to certain sections.
Just an idea I had because WordPress administration boards seem to be getting cluttered these days.
