I don’t have any issues with search widget.

I can’t see your forums

Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.

Possibly try resaving your permalinks:

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

I followed the instructions for installing the WordPress plugin of bbPress.

However, doing this invariably puts the live bbPress forum in the following directory:
/mysite.com/blog/forums

Clicking the /blog breadcrumb will drop my users into the weblog. Ideally, I’d prefer to have the nesting as follows:
/mysite.com/classrooms/forums

But if that’s not possible, having it exist as /mysite.com/forums would also work.

The most recent thread I could find on this issue was four years ago, and suggested using freestanding bbPress, which won’t work with my membership software (MemberMouse).

Thanks for any help you can offer on changing my setup.

Current site is password-secured DEV: WordPress Version 3.6.1, bbPress v.2.4
Site URL available privately if necessary.

Hi,
I installed bbpress and forum. I just need forums with topics & post counts show in sidebar. exactly look like wordpress forum’s page right sidebar (http://en.forums.wordpress.com/).
Thanks

This issue typically comes up when people are testing the import to bbPress. If you import the users and forums, topics, replies etc then reset bbPress only the forums, topics, topic tags and replies are deleted. bbPress does not delete the imported users as the user account may have additional WordPress roles (eg. Author) and has blog posts or comments on blog posts etc and we don’t want bbPress deleting content that isn’t its own.

Ideally you would have a test site for WordPress & bbPress to test the importer and once you are happy with everything get bbPress installed on your primary WordPress site, disable your existing forums and import into bbPress ‘all the things’ and be up and running from then on with bbPress.

Hi… me again!

I do have the latest versions of WordPress 3.6.1 and bbPress 2.4

When I make a forum post you can hardly see the words… Very faint! I’ve checked all the settings but I don’t see any setting for that. I tried different Themes including TwentyEleven but no change.

Thanks

Hi,

I’m actually having 2 problems with login and registration on my site.

First problem is with the login widget.

-when I drag the widget over to the side bar it stays there until I enter the URLs in the required fields. If I write just the name it stays!

Second problem is with registering to the site with the stock WordPress form. I’m logged out of my back end and the user name and email address I’m using is not already registered. It’s easier to explain with screen shots

Thanks in advance for you help!

Ok so I have the latest wordpress / bbpress and buddy press so far as I know.

I have created a forum – and it would seem that only people who are keymasters / admins can actually comment / post through the forum. Every time I log into my test account which is set as a ‘participant’ and subscriber, i get the message “you do not have permission” when i try to comment or reply to a forum post.

I have been looking into this for a good couple of days now. I have installed the members plugin, I have re-routed the forum roles etc….

I’m at a loss

Problem is because gdpress signature and adunit go in post with and the adunit plugin add the code before bbp-signature DIV…

We have two way, or add adunit code after bbp-signature DIV, or use another metod to add adunit after reply in the loop… for example, after 1 or 2 or 3 and etcc.. post, but not in one single reply.

For the moment i don’t have solutions, in plugin support page have another thread opened by another user… https://wordpress.org/support/topic/breaks-gd-bbpress-tools-signature-in-topic-between-posts?replies=2

With no reply… 🙁

I have bbpress loaded on my site and have already started creating forums…love it.
however, I created a page for the forum and put the shortcode there, but now my forum url is
http://www.nikkiinstitchescraftacademy.com/forums/forum/month-1-the-background-story/
is there any way to get rid of the double forum in there?
should i have put the shortcode someplace else?
thanks so much for your help!

Wordpress version 3.6.1

You will find your user profiles at the following URL (Swap example.com for your domain)

http://example.com/forums/profile/username/

Also any username prefixed with imported_ eg. imported_username is because the user name username was already taken in WordPress. If both imported_username and username users are the same user go to the WordPress dashboards ‘User Panel’ and when you select the imported_username to be deleted you will be prompted to attribute all existing posts, topics, replies etc to another user, select the user username and now all posts, topics, replies etc will be under the single user username.

bbPress Users ARE WordPress users 🙂

Create a ticket in Trac 🙂 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

I use a large decorative font for my standard pages and forum titles in WordPress. This is normally ok because I make them intentionally short, however my forum topic titles can be much longer as they are created by users and need to be generally more descriptive. Since I have my breadcrumbs styled large and clearly, it’s unnecessary for the topic title to exist at all on an individual topic page.

Does anyone know which bbpress template file I would need to edit to get the single topic pages to display the forum they belong to instead of the topic title itself?

Or how I might do this using a conditional via my WordPress theme’s page.php file?

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a look at the support forum for ‘bbPress Genesis Extend’, it looks like @jaredatch has a new version is on its way shortly.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-genesis-extend

The specifics of Genesis compatibility with bbPress 2.4x I am not sure, @jaredatch is the one who can answer all these questions and probsbly the best place would be in the support forum link above if he doesn’t answer them directly here.

Ok, got the login-part solved: Obviously I had in Options>General a wordpress-url different from the site-url which in conjunction with permalinks didn’t work well. After I have changed wordpress-url and site-url to one common value, it worked.

I can’t seem to find anything the closest thing I found was New User Approval which only works for WordPress registration. Any ideas?

Hello guys!

I have a specific question about adding forums, threads and replies in Bbpress.
Some times ago i made a script that’s sending data to fill the DB in wordpress – i just send via POST: author, post, title etc via php script, that add it all to DB. It was simple.

Now i have to make it in Bbpress, and there is a problem: besides the ‘wp_posts’ data i see many cells in ‘wp_post_meta’ when i create a forum, topic and a reply such as:

_bbp_topic_count
_bbp_total_reply_count
_bbp_forum_subforum_count
_bbp_reply_count
_bbp_last_active_time

etc

The problem is that I want to do it in the future delayed (this future posts date). And the question is: how do I write this posts and Bbpress helps me and refreshes that data in ‘wp_post_meta’.

I googled my problem and found this functions in functions.php:

  function bbp_update_topic_topic_id( $topic_id = 0 ) {
     $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
  
     update_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_topic_id', (int) $topic_id );
 
      return apply_filters( 'bbp_update_topic_topic_id', (int) $topic_id );
  }

That’s what I’m looking for? I will be happy if Bbpress has some API or xml-rpc method to add a topics and replies, but there is none 🙁

Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks, I will dig around a bit more tomorrow and see what I can find.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2433

[Stephen Edgar]

See this bbPress Trac ticket for more information, the fix will be included with bbPress 2.4.1
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2405

Greetings,

I’ve imported my forum from vbulletin, althou he copied everything the users didnt got connected and they are named imported_something. the page /author returns 404 not found.

The avatar on my website was being used by vbulletin now we have no avatars? how to add them? the profile page that comes with wordpress doesnt have an option for that.

[Stephen Edgar]

Check to see if you have a conflict with another WordPress plugin
https://codex.bbpress.org/faq/#plugin-conflicts

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you using the Genesis bbPress plugin?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for that, it appears it’s not related to another bug I was testing for 🙁

As per above using your bbPress.org/wordpress.org username and password can you create a ticket on Trac and we can then track it much better there.

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you open the bbPress ‘Settings’ -> ‘Forums’ panel in your WordPress dashboard:
eg. http://example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress

Change a setting eg. Topics from 15 per page to 14 per page click ‘Save Changes’
(It doesn’t really matter what is changed here as we are just forcing bbPress to update its setting in the wp_options table)

Go check your site at eg. http://example.com/forums

Is the issue fixed?

If Yes, go back and change the setting back to its original setting

If not, now go to the ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ panel in your WordPress dashboard:
eg. http://example.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair

Run each of these individually:

• Recalculate the parent topic for each post
• Recalculate the parent forum for each post
• Recalculate private and hidden forums
• Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
• Recalculate the sticky relationship of each topic
• Count topics in each forum
• Count replies in each forum
• Count replies in each topic
• Count voices in each topic
• Count spammed & trashed replies in each topic
• Count topics for each user
• Count replies for each user

Again go check your site at eg. http://example.com/forums

Is the issue fixed?

Hello, I have a default WordPress install (latest version) with a default bbPress 2.4 install using TwentyTwelve, no files have been modified. The replies pagination does not work, though the pagination for topic listings is.

Does anybody else have this issue? I’m going to take a look at the pagination functions and see if I can come up with a fix

Thanks.
