One other thing I can’t ever get to work is “Purge all information from a previously attempted import”. I’ve let it run for over 48 hours in the past, and it was “Deleting previously converted data” with a number up into the tens of millions before I gave up on the process, and never actually starts converting. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

This is a known issue as we have two different caching methods we use, and in particular if one is used and not the other this goes on forever, hopefully I will have a fix in the near future for this, as a workaround do as you have and just ‘reset’ bbPress.

It is odd that it stalls, stopis etc at a different point during the reply imports, typicaly it stops because of some mysterious reason on the same reply (or topic) and it appears to be some ‘malformed’ content in that particular post (I can’t prove this though and is not specific to SimplePress) 😉

When it stalls if you click ‘Stop’ then bump the value of _bbp_converter_start by one, then click ‘Start’ again it should continue on from where it left off skipping that troublesome reply.

(A side issue can be you actually get logged out of WordPress so it also pays to open/refresh another admin page to ensure you are still logged in)

First of all. New to WordPress and bbPress as of yesterday.
I am liking it very much over all. Different, but good.

Anyways,

When regular users login into WordPress and goto the dashboard

The Panel “Right now in forums”

User can click on “Topics” or “Replies”

They will end up going to this

http://mysite.com/wp/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic

And page just comes up with

“Cheatin’ uh?”

Doing searches of similar issues I ended up doing these different steps.

Ive deactivated a member list plugin.
Ive deactivated and reactivated the forum.
Under Tools>Forums I ran “Remap existing users to default forum roles” without issue.
Under Settings>Forums>Auto Role has been checked on and set to “Participant”
I unchecked and rechecked Auto Role

So far no go. Only my admin user can click on these.

Any help for a newb?

I’d suggest posting in their support forum https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gd-bbpress-attachments

[Stephen Edgar]

@gwendydd Thanks for the report and it is exactly the same issue.

Could you all in this thread supply the following:

• WordPress Versions eg. 3.8
• bbPress Version eg. 2.5.2
• Operating System eg. Linux/Windows
• Web Server eg. Nginx, Apache, IIS
• Theme eg. Twenty Thirteen
• PHP Version eg. 5.3, 5.4, 5.5

There has to be something common between people having this issue where we can then recreate a test environment to actually fix this.

[Stephen Edgar]

It is kind of a performance issue with some ‘bigger’ forums, we have a pretty awesome fix for this coming up in bbPress 2.6 once a couple of kinks are ironed out.

Details are here if you want to all out technical but I wouldn’t try running this patch just yet, soon, just not yet. 😉

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress requires at least WordPress 3.6. I would ask the authors of that theme if they can update it for WordPress 3.8, at a bare minimum besides the improvements in the latest WordPress there are bound to be some security issues in running such an old version of WordPress.

[Stephen Edgar]

Yes, this is a known issue and hopefully a fix isn’t far off.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2493

[Stephen Edgar]

I have not seen anyone else report anything like what you mention.

Have you updated top WordPress 3.8 & bbPress 2.5.2 and tested with the Twenty Thirteen theme?

Also some screenshots would be beneficial

[Stephen Edgar]

Firstly you need to update to WordPress 3.8 & bbPress 2.5.2, most likely the issue you have has already been fixed 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

I answered your question here http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/127625/how-do-i-remove-certain-fields-from-the-forum-edit-my-profile-page

[Stephen Edgar]

I am running on a clean install of WordPress 3.4.2

Is that a typo? You should be using WordPress 3.8

Also what theme are you using? Try the Twenty Thirteen theme.

I’ve been using WordPress for a long time but I’m new to bbpress. I’m trying to figure how to add sidebar to my forum so that users can login or check out the latest posts from the forum. Hence I’ve decided to create a page with -forum slug so It won’t overlap default -forums slug of bbpress. I added the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] to that page and edited. Everything was working fine until I clicked on any of the forums I created. It redirected me to a page with -forums slug and breadcrumbs was on the same direction, as if shortcode was just a decoy. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very successful at altering bbpress files as I wanted. My question is about those slugs. Is there any way to override bbpress’ own page system and force it to use the page I inserted the forum code.

Thank you

Nice, and this bug https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2468 is also very annoying for working forums, the ux is terrible.

Hi Guys,

I am running on a clean install of WordPress 3.4.2, and am trying to use the BBPress forum plugin (version 2.5.2). However when trying to load the forum page from my site I get the following error.

Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Post’ not found in /home/content/44/10795544/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/theme-compat.php on line 375

I have spent ages googling, searching this forum, but I cant find any answer that help me.

Please can someone tell me how I can fix this error? It is preventing me from using BBpress.

Thanks
Panda

[Stephen Edgar]

The only fix in bbPress 2.5.2 is for BuddyPress notifications issues see #2495 for more details.

[John James Jacoby]

Use WordPress’s Importer. bbPress works just fine with it.

[spwestwood]

Hi,
I currently have a WordPress installation at website.com/blog/, and a bbPress forum at website.com/blog/forum. Ideally I’d like to have the forum at website.com/forum. Is this possible? I’ve tried a few different rewrites in my Apache site configuration but haven’t managed to get it working.

Best regards,
Sam

I am also having this issue. It just started and all of my admin profiles have the highest level of permission. I’m also running Buddy Press and Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP).If i can not resolve soon I will need to stop using BBPress. We have to launch soon.

[Peter Kegels]

Ater installation yesterday no problem. I could see ‘forums’ in the left balk of WP (dashboardbalk). Today no longer.
I removed BBPres and installed again. Without any luck. It is stil not visible on the left site of WordPress.
Any idea?
Many thanks,
Peter

Dear April,

I am having the same issue. I also am deploying and testing in Instant WordPress. Have the same problem. Pity no one has come to rescue till now.

[Pippin Williamson]

No, bbPress only functions as a WordPress plugin.

[Will Brownsberger]

Stumbled into a solution for this.

In this file:
/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/users/functions.php

Comment out lines 34 and 35. Lines 33 through 35 as appearing in the original are shown below. Line 33 contains the comment from the original.

33	// $url was manually set in wp-login.php to redirect to admin
 34	elseif ( admin_url() === $url )
 35		$url = home_url();

Hate to edit the core functions, but it works.

Please note: Running Theme-my-login Version 6.3.8, bbPress Version 2.5.1, WordPress 3.8.
