I dug around and per my previous comment this is the current expected behaviour and design.

That said I think we can improve this ‘user experience’ but we can’t do it directly in bbPress at this stage, you see the same experience when using the ‘text’ editor to create new post with WordPress.

I have created a ticket upstream for WordPress to improve this here, once WordPress has this then bbPress will also have this improved UI/UX 🙂

Hello
I have a problem with the editor in bbpress .. the content is displayed with the html code ..
I am using Ultimate TinyMCE editor with the option of wpautop set off and I put this code in the functions.php of the theme to enable mce editor :


function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args['tinymce'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );


What could be the problem, I tried using Tiny MCE Advanced but the same problem occurred
is this a theme problem?

Im using :
Wordpress version 3.8.3
bbpress version 2.5.3
Ultimate TinyMCE version 5.3

Thanks

Have you tried using just %postname% rather than /index.php/%postname% ?

I have a sneaky suspicion this will be your issue.

If you are not able to remove the /index.php/ before %postname% check your “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” in Settings -> General. If these include the /index.php/ I’d suggest you contact your web host and have these updated.

(I only say contact your host as if you change these to something your web host doesn’t support you may lose access to your site)

This is done by putting some code into the footer.php

If you’re into coding, then google ‘wordpress post footer’ and you’ll find several examples of how to put posts into footers. You’d be looking to add a parameter of ‘post_type’ = ‘topic’,

Alternately you could try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/nurelm-get-posts/

and see if that works in your footer – no idea if it will !

the code would be something like

[get_posts post_type=”topic” numberposts=15 orderby=”post_date” order=”DESC”]

or maybe order = “ASC” !

This plugin (fork of Simple Local Avatars) do the job! :))

Basic User Avatars

[Stephen Edgar]

Apologies, this should be fixed for the next release of bbPress:

You could try my plugin

bbp Private Groups

which lets you create private groups as you seem to want

@netweb – I’ll be adding it to wordpress plugins as soon as I’ve changed it unlimited groups!

[Robin W]

I presume you mean the profile in the toolbar?

If so, I turn the toolbar off for all users apart from admin. It is ugly and takes away from your theme.

You can then put it as a menu item see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

for details

[Stephen Edgar]

It looks like ‘however’ all the things on your site are working it is making the topic ‘private’

The good thing is we will have this fixed for bbPress 2.6

Details are here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2593

[southcot]

WordPress: 3.9
bbPress: 2.5.3
User Access Manager: 1.2.5.0
Theme: Twenty Eleven (no mods)

I don’t know whether our use of UMA is relevant here. We have a group in UAM called “Panel” and all of those users have the “Forum Role” of “Participant”

I have set up a forum “panel Discussions” which is restricted to the members of “Panel”:-

and in it a topic “Panel **********************”:-

When I’m logged into WP I can see the forum and the topics:-

And the topic thread shows as I would expect:-

Users that aren’t logged in cannot see the “Panel Discussions” Forum as I would expect:-

And as expected another “Panel” member can see the “Panel Discussions” Forum:-

.. and the topics:-

However when they open the topic “Panel **********************”:-

The initial Topic intro is not visible.

Can anyone help please?

[BeethovenWC]

Please, how to redirect all normal wordpress profiles to bbpress profiles?

Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

The bbPress shortcodes are:

[bbp-login] – Display the login screen.
[bbp-register] – Display the register screen.
[bbp-lost-pass] – Display the lost password screen.

I suspect some of your issues are more WordPress related rather than specificly bbPress

[smashthegame]

Hi there,

I’ve started using your bbPress plugin for wordpress. I’ve followed every instruction I could find to disable the sidebar and have a full width page on the forums page. I’ve tried nearly everything including some css posted in another thread, using a full-width page template and commenting out get_sidebar() from every file in the extras folder.

Please help! I don’t want to have to delete my forum data and start all over again simply because I can’t get a sidebar to disappear. This should be a simple excercise.

Cheers
-STG

I wonder if there is any way to convert/transfer the attachments so that they will work as well?

I haven’t seen any particular effective ways to do this yet, I have a few ideas on how to add support to import the attachments into the WordPress media library but it only exists in imagination at this stage, once I get the time to take a look I most certainly will have a crack at it.

[Stephen Edgar]

@buzzybee24 In your WordPress theme folder eg \wp-content\themes\mytheme

Look for a file named page.php and make a copy of this file and rename it to bbpress.php

[theENiGMAman]

Firstly thanks to bbpress for the great plugin for WP – it’s made forum integration so much better for everyone!

I’ve run into a issue on bbpress that I am unsure how to remedy, On our bbpress forums replies made by users (of any forum role) do not display the avatar or username, instead it only displays their forum role. I’ve Googled the issue but there doesn’t seem to have been an issue like this before that I can find.

Here is a link to show the problem: http://exodus-esports.com/forums/topic/bug-report-enigmas-hideaway/

Wordpress Version: 3.9
Buddypress Verion: 2.0.1
bbpress version: 2.5.3

Thanks in advance for any assistance 🙂

**Update: Checked for any conflicting plugins by disabling all but bbrpess & buddpress – issue was still there**

[Pasquale Galasso]

I confirm

insert

asdasdasd
and
asdasdasd

total forum visible and (plugin not found)

With wordpress 3.9 and bbPress 2.5.3-5249 on pc windows seven (wamp server)

[Robin W]

Ok so you’re a wordpress site – so see

Codex

for step by set how to install

[Daniel King]

I don’t know if you still need it, but there is a plugin for that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-last-post/

Discussion here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2031

[Homika]

I found this one: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-error-on-pages-without-sharebar
The hack proposed in that topic solved my issue which was caused by JS error. Hoping that plugin will be fixed at some point, so I don’t need to hack into its code with every update…

[Homika]

I had something similar and my issue seems to be related to Sharebar plugin of WordPress. Disabling that plugin makes the toolbar buttons appear properly. Will research more what can be done w/o disabling it, the plugin itself is pretty nice besides this issue.

[John James Jacoby]

It’s a WordPress site, so… sure!

[John James Jacoby]

Any of the themes from bbshowcase.org are for the retired version of bbPress (1.x), which is to say it won’t work inside of WordPress, or for bbPress 2.x.

[Stephen Edgar]

There are no issues using bbPress 2.5.3 and WordPress 3.9 they are 100% compatible.

Any issues will be as @phpnukes points out theme issues or plugin conflicts.

I suspect your issue @buzzybee24 is indeed a theme issue, check your themes faq and/or support sites for information on using your theme with bbPress v2.x. If you can’t find anything most likely you will need to make a copy of your themes page.php file and rename it to bbpress.php in your theme folder.

@phpnukes Your issue will be a plugin conflict as to why some of the items are missing in the dashboard.

[phpnukes]

Your forums are showing in your settings.
Mine are not so maybe since bbPress are claiming 2.5.3 is compatible to 3.9 there could be a confict with the theme: I’m using twentyfourteen or another plugin installed could be the problem.

Plugins installed could be the issue try deactivating all your plugins to see if it fixes things. Then active each plugin one by one to establish which plugins are causing the problem.

Don’t install an older version of wordpress quite just yet.
