hello,
thanks. now i found a plugin that does all i want (“role scoper”: https://wordpress.org/plugins/role-scoper/). you can create groups, give these groups their permissions (pages, articles, forums, custom post types …) and than add the users to this groups. awesome.

[Stephen Edgar]

@mchl Excellent that you now have a working migration. I don’t know of any outstanding issues for any {{{wp_insert_post}}} memory leak, now could I see any issue regarding this in WP Trac.

@leahcar8 Looks like your getting closer and closer to getting there too 🙂

I am doing lots of work on all ~20 importers at the moment that with all this feedback I will try to look at optimizing both the importer and the SQL queries used for inclusion in bbPress 2.5.

All these little gotchyas, tips, tricks and feedback is extremely helpful so I will also get the docs updated to include as much of this info to. 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

No, by default bbPress does not have a ‘post preview’ feature at this stage.

There are various plugins for using different editors and some are compatible with bbPress and some have a post preview.

Take a look around https://wordpress.org/plugins/ and see if anything is suitable.

For some reason I get these messages when I try to create a new post in my forum:

ERROR: Invalid author name submitted!
ERROR: Invalid email address submitted!
ERROR: The following problem(s) have been found with your topic:

I get this even when I’m logged in as admin or moderator. Any ideas on what’s going on? It had been working fine. I don’t remember installing any new plugins or changing any settings. Tried this on two different browsers.

Using WordPress 3.6 and bbpress 2.3.2

[mst]

Thank you @lynq for the initiative writing this up 🙂

If you like to show the sub-forum description you could use get_post() and modify the code from @lynq to fetch it.

Something like this:

$get_sub_desc = get_post( $sub_forum->ID );
$show_sub_desc = $get_sub_desc->post_content;

then add $show_sub_desc to the output.

bbpress: 2.3.2
wordpress: 3.6
– – – – – – – – –

what i need:
wordpress has 6 user groups, thats nice, but i nedd 3 additional user groups:

– Forum User A
– Forum User B
– Forum User C

i have 3 Forums (you guess it: “forum A (bananas)”, “forum B (Apples)” and “forum C (Peaches)”.
i create all users and send them their access per mail.

i want to add these users to one of these groups, some to two of these groups and some to all groups. if a user in in group “Forum A” he can only access “forum a (bananas). means that the users can only access the forums i allow them.

is there a way to do this?

Hi,

Your best bet would be to create a custom page template for your WordPress theme where you basically display the header and footer without the sidebar.

Create three custom templates, sidebar, left sidebar and right sidebar, for your default page.php file in your wordpress theme make it so it doesn’t have any sidebars. Then by default bbpress will use this page to display the forum.

Hi,

Locate to the menu section in your WordPress admin and click the “Screen Options” link at the top of the page. Make sure the “Forums” checkbox is checked to show on screen.

On this page http://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ they say “To use any of the shortcodes simply insert the desired shortcode into any WordPress page.”

So far I’ve tried these three

[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-single-forum id=1]
[bbp-topic-index]

nothing happens except they show up as text. Why?

[Lesa]

I recently upgraded to WordPress 3.6. In 3.5, I was able to add Forums to the menus but this feature doesn’t seem to be available in 3.6. Can you tell me how to add a forum to a menu? This is an important feature for my site.

[Sven]

Howdy everyone,

I want to migrate an old bbPress forum 1 to bbPress 2.3.2. I used the importer tool to import the old topics an so on. But I am missing the attachments and the user-avatars. The attachments shortcode is shown, but not the image and no avatar. Can anyone help me please?

Wordpress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.2

Kind regards,
iGoras

The email account associated with your WordPress account determines which Gravatar is loaded.

[SickSquirrelTwo]

Thank you but where in your WordPress profile do you copy one or link to your own? I see the six choices in the admin and then this

For users without a custom avatar of their own, you can either display a generic logo or a generated one based on their e-mail address.

Now, having signed up to test, I created a hash of my email address to do the procedure and write it down, but there is no place to paste my hash.

Buddypress Xprofile Custom Fields Type http://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/ plugin is fantastic. It adds field types date, email, number etc.

Would be great if BP Better Directories allows searches for (e.g.):
– age less than/more than/between (when there is a birthdate field)
– height less than/more than/between (when there is a number field)
– years of experience less than/more than/between (when there is a number field)

Please, please, pretty please 🙂

bbPress/WordPress automatically uses Gravatars. It’s built into the discussion settings.

[Tecca]

I’d easily go for IP Board or Xenforo before vBulletin. But since we’re using bbPress here and it seems silly to change software solely for private forums, we should probably stick with bbPress suggestions.

I’m sure there’s a way to implement this with some fiddling, but have you considered an alternative? I don’t find that forum software is the best method of communicating with staff members, so for my new project I’m going to use something similar to CollabPress (if not CP itself): https://wordpress.org/plugins/collabpress/

You can also load it on the front end, so your staff members can communicate without going to their WP Dashboard. I find solutions like this to be best, since you can manage all sorts of things and add milestones/accomplishments — which may motivate staff to work harder.

Wordpress version: 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2
site url: http://www.rubycore-ng.com/blog/
Hi, i am getting this error message on my site backend. I have created a custom bbpress child theme. The error is “bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /hermes/bosoraweb132/b1582/ipg.virtualweb/https/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3012”

What is may be wrong?

[Scott Tyner]

I would like the pages for the forums to NOT have a sidebar and to fill up the page (and sidebar area). There’s not sidebar showing, but the area is white space. I want the forum pages to fill up the entire page. Did that make sense?

I am using Version 2.3.2 bbPress and WordPress version is 3.6

A link to the forums is http://bleckleycountygop.org/forums/forum/general-news-flash/

They are spam registrations for sure. Use a plugin like WangGaurd and see the difference. 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

I haven’t seen a plugin to do this…

There is this one https://github.com/jmdodd/bbpress-topic-post-converter but that does topics to posts… Maybe you could fork it and make it go the other way 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a look/search in the plugin section https://bbpress.org/plugins/

There are a couple from memory.

[Stephen Edgar]

If you can set WordPress up that way then bbPress should also work fine using the WordPress setup as bbPress uses WordPress for all user authentications.

I would suggest searching around the WordPress support forums and/or plugins for a solution

https://wordpress.org/support/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/

[Stephen Edgar]

I am sure there are a few in the WordPress Plugins

I’d like to know if you have any success with this, i posted a similar issue here but i havent had any luck rectifying it.

The last time test i tried i got to >300k (forum has ~400k) posts after the convertor stalled and requiring a restart a couple of times, until the most recent time tried to restart I got this error in the output window:

Repair any missing information: Continue
WordPress database error: [Table 'db_name.pbpbb_posts' doesn't exist]
SELECT convert(posts.post_id USING "utf8") AS post_id,convert(topics.topic_id USING "utf8") AS topic_id,convert(posts.forum_id USING "utf8") AS forum_id,convert(posts.topic_id USING "utf8") AS topic_id,convert(posts.poster_ip USING "utf8") AS poster_ip,convert(posts.poster_id USING "utf8") AS poster_id,convert(posts.post_subject USING "utf8") AS post_subject,convert(posts.post_text USING "utf8") AS post_text,convert(posts.post_time USING "utf8") AS post_time FROM pbpbb_posts AS posts LEFT JOIN pbpbb_topics AS topics USING (topic_id) WHERE posts.post_id != topics.topic_first_post_id LIMIT 304200, 100
Starting Conversion

Im currently running this on AWS (Amazon Servers) and had upgraded to the server to something with a bit more grunt but its not helping.

Ive also discovered, not sure if this is related, that none of the replies that are imported are assigned to a forum or a topic and when viewing a topic only the first post appears and none of the related replies.

looking forward to response.
