maybe this plugin will work , only works without BuddyPress installed though

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-members-only/

[Robkk]

i dont know about force but you could use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/

then make a default avatar something ridiculous or a bland picture so they would want to change their avatar to not see their default avatar.

[Robkk]

also just found this plugin too , havent tested though.

Thanks, @Robkk I didn’t know how to use that – I didn’t realize it was as easy as adding it to my functions file.

Thanks for the addition @undergroundnetwork!

Since I posted I’ve been using this outdated-but-it-works plug-in.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-bbpress/

Although that plug-in, works, it also displays shows links to slides that I have on the homepage in the results – not a big deal as I don’t have too many slides but I’d rather that not happen.

In an effort to reduce plug-ins I’m going to give this code a shot.

Ciao,

I’ve added to the code as the above code does not search for Forum Titles, this code includes titles in the search as well:

/**
 * Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
 
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
	$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );

/**
 * Include bbPress 'forum' custom post type in WordPress' search results */

function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
	$forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );

/**
 * Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results  */

function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
	$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

@sceko

just checked and this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

shows the visual editor in the edit page too.

if you still have issues reply back.

[Robkk]

try posting a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

or other freelance development sites like codible.com

[Robkk]

contact the plugin author about maybe improving it for other kinds of attachments.

other than that, http://jobs.wordpress.net/

@melanie-bund

this is kind of complicated to me , im going to say this is custom development.

try to figure it out yourself or hire another developer at http://jobs.wordpress.net/.

or wait and see if someone else picks up this topic.

[Robin W]

go to https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/

all versions are there

[Robin W]

no it isn’t a default, I have a plugin that does this

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/

what other plugins are you using?

[rmurdo]

I have the current version of bbspress and wordpress.

Most of my topics do not save, it brings back to a blank create a topic page. I have been able to save a couple of with very little text.

I have tried 2012 and 2014 themes and deactivated all other plugins.

If I add via the admin side and not the user interface it seems to work fine.

Anyone have suggestions? Thanks.

[Robin W]

ok, it is just a warning – see https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2309

[Robin W]

ok, the function needs the existence of a variable called $user_id (being the wordpress usreid of the profile user.

How/where are you adding this code?

[nicmak]

i am using WordPress 4.1

[stefaantje]

Hi

I’ve WordPress, latest version.
I installed BBPress.
Worked fine.
Installed ssl and connected it to my hosting.
Works fine.
Except BBpress suddenly returns 404’s.

I can find a few things on Google about this topic, but none seem to work.
Can anyone here help me out please to get BBpress working with SSL?

Thanks in advance.

bbPress 2.x uses WordPress’s posts and taxonomy structure to store everything, so the best(only) way to have it exist on a separate database (and/or server) is with WordPress multisite and HyperDB, and having bbPress activated on the site you’ve pointed to it’s own location.

[John James Jacoby]

I added a few user capabilities plugins to edit roles but none have done the trick.

This likely did more harm than good.

Try installing the following plugin (by me) which provides a nice user-interface for identifying where your bbPress roles and capabilities have gone wrong:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-capabilities/

This plugin was originally a hidden tool tucked into bbPress, but was extracted into a plugin once we went with dynamic role registration.

The thing with bbPress roles, is that they work amazingly well for the large majority of installations. For the very small minority that want to deeply integrate it with other plugins or services, it works a bit differently than WordPress’s native roles and capabilities (for the better, to be frank) which requires a bit of special handling.

I installed bbPress as a plugin on WP 4.1 MultiSite – on one sub-site. 2014 Theme. Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/super-socializer/
I am new to bbPress and user login.

I am using a plugin called Super Socializer for that site login, for commenting etc. I don’t want a separate bbPress login. I want bbPress to be open to whomever logs into the site.

If I leave bbPress set “open” – no registration – how do I restrict bbPress participation to registered/logged in site users?

I would like access for reading Forums to be open to anyone, like the site. But login for writing.

Sorry if this is a super stupid question – please be patient. Even helpful? 🙂

Thank you.

[Ricsca2]

There is a way to make a section of the forum this plugin?

Thank You

Hi,

I’m in the process of migrating to vanilla forums using the vanilla porter, but am having problems. I realize this seems like more of question to as those guys, however, the issue seems to be that bbpress is on a shared database as WordPress. Basically what I think is happening is, it’s trying to convert my entire site (WordPress included) rather than just my forum. I get an error saying the porter could not find .forum (I think this is talking about a table?). What I probably need to do is either seperate bbpress as its own database, or create a table for what it’s wanting from me. What do yall think?

??? why do bbPress this

[HighRollerUSA]

I just spent some time on the “All In One SEO Pack” support forum, and there are several posts with similar situations, and the advice is to deactivate, delete, and reinstall “All In One SEO Pack”. This appears to solve the problem!

Thanks for your tips and clues that lead to this solution!

[Robin W]

Depends what the issue is.

I suggest this approach as it helps define whether on a ‘clean’ default theme with no other plugins bbpress is experiencing issues.

If it is ok in a clean site, then I’d suggest talking to your host provider – most are good with wordpress, and may identify any issues.

If you can identify a conflict, then we can look at a solution, sometimes it is easy, often it might be harder 🙂

I presume your test site is on a local server?

If you’re ok/good with web stuff, then you might consider putting a test site on-line so that it is an exact match for the live environment, most host providers allow sub-domains and if you switch on discourage search then it doesn’t interfere see

https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/

then you can be happier that live will work.

Anyway just a thought !!

[HighRollerUSA]

I just installed bbpress 2.5.4 on WordPress 4.1, on two different websites.

On my test site, everything is working as expected, but on my live site (which has SSL) every time I try to access the default https://mysite.com/forums/ I get the following error:

Fatal error: ob_end_flush(): Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in /homepages/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3269

I can create a new page with a different name than “forums” and use the shortcode successfully, but the breadcrumbs have a direct link to the “/forums” and it gives the same error.

Any idea what may be going on?

Thanks!
