I had exactly the same problem as you did.

I wanted an easy way to update the email that new users receive.

After learning that the emails are not sent through bbPress, and instead through wordpress, it was easy to find a better mail plugin that would do exactly what I wanted. I found WP Better Emails.

It is an HTML (or text) based email plugin that looks much more professional than the usual text based message that WordPress sends out.

Now, my new users receive a nice little message with links to specific forums:
Introduce yourself, Popular Posts, and Forum Rules.

You can see how I use it by visiting my forums and signing up. I’ll delete you after a few days if you let me know.

Nothing to thank me for, after a couple years wanting this import script, I’m more than glad to help, I just want to see it work for as much people as possible. I tried everything this past 4 or 5 years I think to combine my forum with my wordpress, I didn’t want a blog nor I wanted just a forum, and thanks to you and bbPress I’m so close to finally have what I wanted.

And thank you for that link, I was testing with 100 rows per second, I’m not on a dedi, but in my little VPS I think I could at least try 500 every 0.2 or something close.

Cheers and good night 🙂

Hi! I noticed that BBPress profile does not include several fields of the core WordPress profile. Is there any way to include them? It is very important for my website, because others plugins need those fields to work properly. Notice that I don´t need to create “custom fields”, but to include the core WordPress fields.

[Robin W]

yes, there’s a plugin that does this for you

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify/

Haven’t used it yet, let us know if it works for you

[Robin W]

ok, I can see your problem

Not sure why the plugin isn’t picking this up – would be worth a post on the authors support site

http://veppa.com/blog/forums/

However lets also try a different approach.

Download “widget logic”

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

This plugin lets you specify conditions for when widget items are displayed.

You would then put all the widgets for both the blog page and the forum page in one sidebar

Against each of these you then specify whether you want it to appear on the forum page, on any page with a sidebar that is not the forum 9ie your blog), or on both forum and other sidebar pages.

you do this by putting the following code in the widget logoc box that you will see appears against each widget

For a forum sidebar you put : is_bbpress() ie is this page a forum page
For any other sidebar you put : !is_bbpress() ie is this page NOT a forum page
For any item to appear on both, simply leave the logic blank.

Give that a try and come back and let us know how it works

Hello,

As part of a project for a forum in French which will be online soon, I completed the translation in French of bbPress and I improved (at least I hope) many strings already translated so that they are more true to the original english meaning and context.

I’m entering the translations one by one on translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.4.x/fr/default and I would like to discuss with the french translation team about a number of aspects of the project, eg nomenclature, accents, etc.

Thank you and good day.

Hi

I am experiencing the same problem with WordPress 3.7.1 and bbpress 2.4.1. New installations, but can’t activate the plugin. It says ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.’

[Oliver Pohl]

Hi all,

for me is the following problem in the activation of bbPress 2.4.1:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for WP_User::__construct(), called in *… /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 263 and defined in *…/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 473

Warning: Missing argument 1 for WP_User::__construct(), called in *… /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 264 and defined in *… /wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 473

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_user_member_of_blog() in *… /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/update.php on line 348

*… = The path I have hidden for safety reasons

On the website WordPress 3.7.1 is used. The website has an internal area. Here are pages only visible when a user has logged in. The goal of mine is to make bbPress run inside the internal area.
Reach that goal, I use on this time following plugins:

WP-Members 2.7.3 from Chad Butler
Members Only Menu Plugin 2.0 from Brandon Wamboldt

so far everything is stable, only now, after the installation of bbPress there is this error in the activation.

Please can any one help me with this problem?
I unfortunately am not familiar with PHP functions.

[Stephen Edgar]

There is something strange going on here.

I suggest you delete the bbPress plugin from the plugins section of your WordPress install.

Verify that Jetpack is working correctly.

Now download bbPress and install it again. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/

[manuxel]

By script I meant the file SMF.3.PHP found attached in THIS TICKET as written in the first post of this topic.

You download it an then upload it to your site in this path
/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/
Should be in the plugins folder

Then follow the instructions in the link from my other post.

Hope that helps

[infostrides]

Thank you for the hints but in my case, I have the bbpress as plugin in WordPress.

How do I approach it? Thanks.

When I have the plugin “bbPress” activated I get this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDAp8M7CuPk) included in the slideshow on every product page as well as a blank image and a pop up message that reads “The page at http://www.curioclayworks says: Image cannot be loaded. Make sure the patch is correct and the image exist”. When the plugin is deactivated (which it is right now) the video disappears and I only have the blank image with the pop up. I’d like to only have the images I select to be in the slideshow on each product page and I certainly don’t want an install video to be apart of that slideshow. When I disable the bbPress plugin I lose functionality of the “Jetpack WordPress.com Stats: Put a chart showing 48 hours of views in the admin bar” which I’d like to keep and I’d like the functionality of the bbPress plugin itself for the future. I’ve looked through my media library and I the video isn’t there. I’m not sure how to remove it and keep bbPress active. Any tips?
WordPress version: 3.7.1
bbPress version: 2.4.1

Thanks, ticket details https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2473

[Stephen Edgar]

Ok, I see what your trying to achieve.

Create a ticket on Trac for this http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org

[fresheyesconsul]

I have a client experiencing the same issue, using bbPress 2.4.1 with WordPress 3.7.1 – replies showing up not in sequential time order, so it’s hard for users to keep track of the discussion.

In a post I just checked reply #9059 shows below #9056 but above #9057. Threaded replies are enabled to 6 levels.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

[BobHatcher]

Newbie question…

bbpress reports lots of topics within a forum but doesn’t list any. Any idea what’s going on?

http://www.salessummits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/bbpress.pdf

This is a very simple site with a discussion forum. The image is a screenshot as the site is protected.

bbpress 2.4.1
Wordpress 3.7.1

[Bigdogdaddy]

I am running WordPress 3.7.1 and bbPress 2.4.1. When logged in as an admin, when I try to edit a large Page, I get a completely blank screen, not even showing the WordPress sidebars. When I deactivate bbPress, I can edit the page with no issues.

[Stephen Edgar]

WordPress sends emails for user registration not bbPress. I suggest you check to see if emails are being sent for blog post notifications and/or new comments etc and post to https://wordpress.org/support/ if you need more help troubleshooting your WP install. You should also check with your web host that there are no issues on that side of things.

Additionally I have it set up for new users to be assigned the role of “participant” for the forums, and when they register no role is selected for them until I change it manually. I am running bbpress

The forum role is not actually set until the user logs in for the first time at which time they will then be assigned the role defined in the settings.

[jjwallestad]

When new users register on my website, they are not being sent an email with their password. Additionally I have it set up for new users to be assigned the role of “participant” for the forums, and when they register no role is selected for them until I change it manually. I am running bbpress plugin 2.4.1 on WordPress 3.7.1. My site is http://birdingacrossamerica.com. I am using the shortcode [bbp-login]. Previously I had no problems with users registering, getting their passwords, and being assigned the particpant role. I’m not sure when it changed, but it is no longer working.

Thanks for your help.

[Stephen Edgar]

It sounds more like a job for the P2 theme rather than bbPress 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

You should be able to logout log back in again (just to forcibly confirm that with WordPress), enter the same details on the bbPress import settings you used 5,000/0.2 etc and just click ‘Start’ and it will resume from where it left off.

[Stephen Edgar]

All of what you mention in that a huge list of forums is not the ideal user experience so break that list of forums into some categories was the decision made. 😉

https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/

Decisions, not Options
When making decisions these are the users we consider first. A great example of this consideration is software options. Every time you give a user an option, you are asking them to make a decision. When a user doesn’t care or understand the option this ultimately leads to frustration. As developers we sometimes feel that providing options for everything is a good thing, you can never have too many choices, right? Ultimately these choices end up being technical ones, choices that the average end user has no interest in. It’s our duty as developers to make smart design decisions and avoid putting the weight of technical choices on our end users.

[Stephen Edgar]

Cool, got it, your issue is because you have more than 50 forums.

Purposely limited to 50 forums. If your site has that many main forums or subforums, it’s time to reconsider your categorization strategy.

See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1997

[Stephen Edgar]

This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

Also try the repair tools https://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/

[Stephen Edgar]

Did you use single or double quotes around wp_?

The error you show above showing the error as \”wp_\”forum_forums is an odd one, if things were working correctly I would expect the error to look more like this wp_forum_forums.

Open up your wp-config.php file again:

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

Make sure the values above are the ones you are using on the bbPress import settings and that you select Mingle as the import type.

If you still have the same issue you might have to have a chat with your web host to see if there is some extra SQL settings needed by them.
