hmm…this is a buddypress issue I think

see

Group Settings and Roles

Don’t think there is anyway to alter these.

you could try

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups

and see if you can integrate this into buddypress.

@korobochkin, The official bbPress repo links are as follows,

SVN:
https://bbpress.svn.wordpress.org

Git:
git://bbpress.git.wordpress.org

I was able to pin it down a bit more. I discovered that this was happening only when the woocommerce shop page was set as Front page in the WordPress Reading Settings. How come? Beats me, but when I selected another page as front page the Forums shows up. Beside that I have a topic out at Woocommerce that the pagination is not working properly. When the shop page is set as front page, the second and any other product page I want to go to takes me to a wrong page. So it looks like it is a permalink issue caused by one of the plugins.

However I definitely want the shop page as my front page. So I had to find a work around. I downloaded a page redirect plugin called Page Links To, created a new page and named it Start. There is no content on that page, I only set the redirect. Selected this page as the static Front page an it all works.

I have my shop page at front, the woocommerce pagination works and the bbPress forums are showing.

Of course the real issue is not solved so please do investigate and let me know.

I think this plugin does this backwards.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-topics/

Looks like it has something to do with comments and forum posts not exactly what Im looking for.

The way Id like this to work is when I create a post on my blog, a forum post will created as well.

Thx

So, I’m creating a website, looking to have a nice forums section, And of course I install the bbPress plugin onto my wordpress site. Here’s the problem. Once I do this and activate the plugin my main navigation menu becomes erred out with the following error displaying:
“Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in /misc/39/000/056/879/2/user/web/hubhao.com/wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php on line 403”

So, when I disabled the plugin my main navigation menu went back to normal. What’s going on here? What can/should I look at to fix this issue?

[Robkk]

this might work

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-private-replies/

[Robin W]

new version https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robkk]

use Robins new plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robkk]

try the wordpress importer plugin and see if that works i recommend doing it on a local test site though.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/

[Robkk]

i think its the common redirect for wordpress to redirect to the front page after login

you can use a plugin like this to customize where what user redirects where

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

[Robkk]

maybe use something like this for buddypress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/breadcrumbs-everywhere/

or just yoast breadcrumbs in the yoast seo plugin

[Robkk]

Does anyone know if this is a plugin or is this all back end coded?

its all custom code

The more I look at it, it appears to be the core WordPress “Howdy, User” admin bar

that it , even in the source it says #wpadminbar

[Robkk]

go to http://jobs.wordpress.net or ask the plugin author of the plugin you are using to add this as a feature.

[Robkk]

@roboticrobots

you should follow this just in case you were hacked

https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked

[Robkk]

okay i think i got this

install the bbpress topics for posts plugin

you can go to your discussion settings and edit what you want to show how you like i did like this

i ticked the ones with [X]

[ ] Create a new bbPress topic in ~~~ for new posts
(check this if you want to replace wordpress comments with bbpress entirely)

[X] Copy post tags to new topics

[X] Copy post comments to new topics (when available)

On the post page, show:

[ ] Entire topic

[X] show reples only

[ ] Only the ~~~ most recent/oldest replies

[ ] A link to the topic

the rest of the settings are for if you want to display a link below your blog post to lead to the topic.

create your page called “Learn Dash” if you already did , edit the page

go to the screen options in the very top , click it , now check discussion settings this should show the settings for comments, pinkbacks, and bbpress topics for posts.

check the Use a bbPress forum topic for comments on this post option

now check both settings that say copy post tags and use default display settings.

now either use a specific topic from the id , or automatically create a topic from this post to a specific forum.

[Robkk]

@supremor

if you are using this it says it does have bbpress compatibility

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-math-captcha/

other than that i say ditch captchas altogether and use bruteprotect or jp protect when its fused with jetpack.

It seems this is a known issue for WordPress when ordering by meta query. BBPress does this to order by “last active” which is the default (and in my case, desired).

Loading a forum index, on my site, takes about 20 seconds.

Here is the offending SQL:

    [9] => Array
        (
            [0] => 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_parent = 9  AND wp_posts.post_type = 'topic' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'closed' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'hidden') AND (wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_last_active_time' ) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_postmeta.meta_value DESC LIMIT 0, 15
            [1] => 19.448324918747
            [2] => require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-includes/template-loader.php'), apply_filters('template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include, apply_filters('bbp_template_include'), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_include_theme_compat, BBP_Shortcodes->display_forum, bbp_get_template_part, bbp_locate_template, load_template, require('/themes/xx/bbpress/content-single-forum.php'), bbp_has_topics, WP_Query->__construct, WP_Query->query, WP_Query->get_posts
        )

There’s a ticket which seems to be addressing my problem here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

Unless I’m misreading it, the upshot is “We should probably be using post_modified on the topic instead of a meta value for ‘last activity’, so as to avoid using the JOIN… but we haven’t yet”.

So how do other sites do it? This one, for instance? Or WordPress.org? They have more posts than I do, but have got around this issue somehow.

Any solution?

Thanks.

[Adri Oosterwijk]

Thank you for your reply.

I installed through the wordpress installer ->from the plugins ->add new -> install.
Second attempt downloaded the zip, upload it to wordpress and activate it.

No functions added.

I’m using MAMP (for mac, obviously) with mySql and Apache.
Because I’m on a mac I never had to bother about drivers etc.

Other plugins are installing fine, except I had an issue in the last couple of days with the upgrade of WooCommerce in conjunction with the WPML plugin. That is solved. It was permalink related (content showed in English and was invisible in Dutch)

I have tried to remove the bbPress plugin and try to reinstall it to no avail.

I’m really puzzled here.

[Robkk]

i think this plugin will help , just create you custom messages sent to the user to include all the information you want.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-custom-reply-notifications/

@crewockeez

its not a theme its a mock-up , never was a theme

it was a mockup for a website wanting suggestions for design changes from its forum users running bbPress standalone.

if you want someone to design it for you go to http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

@peter-hamilton

this looks a lot better from the last time i saw it ..i think a couple of months ago??

there is still a lot of awkward design around your site though but this time you really have to look for it.

there is a page on your site that look really bad and it is onlijn.com/forums/

i see you have onlijn.com/onlijn-forums/ which is how it should be.

the profile page custom background that you used the bp custom background for user profile plugin i did find a filter to allow it to show it like you did, but this plugin wasnt intended for that kind of layout and it kind of makes the background layout radio buttons kind of useless.

But there is a new plugin that does this exactly now which is here https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-cover/ and it has ajax upload which is a little better.

Another thing that is kind of weird is that on any users profile in there info there is random links that link to the members page.

The user profile menu doesn’t look as good as it is when your site is at a smaller resolution , and plus it wastes a bunch of space on the left.

Hi,
I posted this question in Buddypress forum but no answer so I try here.
In the “Discussion Forums” WordPress-Page (Global Forum) only Admins can see the threads for Private Group Forums they are members in. Normal Users only see the threads from Public Groups, but not from Private Groups they are member in. They have to go to the group forum page to see threads.
Is there a way to see these private topics in Global Forum for group members ?
(I know there is no option for that, but I’d like to modify the core to add manually 2-3 user-IDs who are allowed to see ALL topics like an admin in the global forum, I just want to know which line/file I could modify )

Note: I didn’t activate the bbpress, I use buddypress forum.

Thank you.

[Adri Oosterwijk]

After installation no items appears in WordPress Dashboard, no custom post types are created (as far as I can see)…… No menu item in Settings menu. Nothing happens. Why? What do I do wrong. I am trying for about a day now and I can’t figure it out…… pulling my hair out. Please help.

Worpdpress 4.1, bbPress latest, local site, developing mode1
