Hello,

I installed the bbPress and created 3 different public forums.
These 3 forums are used for medical issues: Nutrition, Physiotherapy and a Pulmonary doctor consultant.
Each forum is managed by a professional for the specific issue. That’s why i created 3 different users in WordPress and changed their permission to “Moderator”, But when each one of them is logged in to the admin,he/she can enter topics or Reply section and change other people content.
Is there a way to associate user to a specific forum where he only manages his own content? In other words, the user doesn’t have access to other forums in the admin and doesn’t have access to edit forums in the website which he is not associated with.
Can s2Member be one solution? if yes, how? i really got lost with the tutorials about that or just couldn’t find a good one.

Thanks,
Nir

Upgrading with WordPress 3.6, admin screens all show this error:
Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/mydomain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1199

What is the impact?
What is the fix?
Thanks

How deeply integrated is 2.0+ version of BBPress?

Will I be able to use WordPress functions (ie get_post_meta()) in bbpress?

[Scott]

WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

I have bbPress and BuddyPress setup on a multisite network with sitewide and group forums. Is it possible to integrate the group forum with a multisite site?

ie.-
XYZ BuddyPress Group = http://mainsite.com/groups/xyz/forum
XYZ Blog = http://xyz.mainsite.com

Can the group forums integrate to the site? So if a post is made on the site it will show back on the group page or if on the group page it will go back to the site?

If that is not possible, is it possible to at least display the group forum data on the subsite with a shortcode or something?

Thanks for any help!

Using wordpress is not overkill. Think of wordpress as an overall operating system where you have registration and login abilities, different roles for different users, spam filters like Wangguard. Then you use bbpress as a plugin for your forum.

How can you not want the user system if you have a forum?

WP is not overkill.

Hi there!

I’m in a bit of a dilemma, here are my circumstances:

1. I want to use bbPress, but as a forum alone – My website is going to be a static homepage and a forum, no more and no less, and i would really hate to use a wordpress to accomplish such a simple task, it would really be an overkill, im not going to use ANY forum of cms, so id really hate to install wordpress ONLY so i can use bbPress, is there any way to get bbPress as a forum alone, not as a plugin?

2. In the homepage, i want there to be two boxes:
Box1 – shows the latest topic from a certain forum(the announcement forum), including the title, and content, number of comments and user that posted it.

Box2 – shows a featured topic. I know there is a plugin for this, im just curios if i could use functions from bbPress, outside of bbPress, as in, in the homepage page, which is not a wordpress page.

So these are my circumstances. What do you think? should i install wordpress JUST so i could use the forum(if so, is there any way to really trim it down? i dont need the users system, comments, pages, posts, etc. Almost everything revolves around the forum)? If not, what are the alternatives?

bbPress is a really great software, and would really want to use it 🙂

Hi guys, im using the latest WP 3.6 + bbPress 2.3.2 + buddypress 1.8

All works fine until you try to either Edit a forum of an existing group (front end) or when creating a new group and then at step 3 adding a forum to this group, when then the page get broken.

The page will remain visible but the header and footer will disappear.

see image below:

I have disabled ALL plugins as well as switched theme to the WordPress / buddypress default one but still the issue remains.

Page end Source code finished without closing this are the last lines:

<form action="http://[domainname]/group1/admin/extras" name="group-settings-form" id="group-settings-form" class="standard-form" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" role="main">

Inspect Elements reports error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method ‘sortable’

This was also report on the Buddypress forum:
http://buddypress.org/support/topic/admin-bar-and-footer-broken/

Please help.

I have a forum setup as private, when logged in you can view the forum just fine. But when not logged on and you try to view the forum page /forums/forum/forum-name it takes you to the standard wordpress 404 page. I’ve tried creating that page structure in the page manager but that didn’t seem to work, I created a forums page, a forum page as a child, and a forum-name page as a child. When I tested the page on a logged in user it took me to the forum page but when not logged in the page still takes me to the 404. How can I control this page?

Thanks

I got the same error but i think it is related to the latest version of NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati(http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/wordpress-gallery-plugin/). I deactivated that plugin and the error goes away.

Why haven’t bbPress 2.3.3 2.4 been released yet both look to be finished?
tickets for the milestone are closed
wordpress 3.6 is now out and so is buddypress 1.8

Hi guys, I’m having trouble showing the shortcode for recent posts on my home page after I entered in code to get my recent blog posts to show up on my home page.

Here is the code I used for recent posts:

$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3 );
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
	<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

I saw in another topic how to get 10 recent topics on your home page with shortcode, but it didn’t work after the above code. Could someone please help me with the code to get 10 recent topics to appear on my home page?

Using the current versions of wordpress, bbpress and buddypress. Working with a buddypress default child theme. I’m also newer to php, so go easy please 🙂

@johnjamesjacoby awesome.

I’m having an issue with bbpress. I’m not sure why this has started, but when the bbPress plugin is active, these two lines of text appear at the top of the screen when viewing the Dashboard and/or the website pages:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /data/15/2/29/3/2518166/user/2758606/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1199

We’ve updated our WordPress to version 3.5.2 and also updated bbPress to 2.3.2. We ran several other updates at the same time, and then the forums function stopped working.

Any ideas of how I can fix this?

Has anyone created a sample dataset like WordPress’ “Theme Unit” Test data for bbPress to quickly knock up a sample bbPress site for testing themes, plugins etc?

I am using the most recent version of wordpress and bbPress, with the theme my login and user avatar plugins.

Avatars show up fine in the first post, but any additional posts have the avatars thrown down to the bottom.

Activating TwentyTen or TwentyEleven does seem to fix this problem. I have contacted the theme developer, but wondering if anyone could provide some insight for me to fix this quickly myself.

I have strong html/css and basic php knowledge.

Thanks!

We recently went through a major upgrade with one of our clients, and as part of that upgrade moved them to a new host. For some reason, no forum posts older than the start of the upgrade (6 weeks ago) have come through from the old site.

I’ve noticed on the new site, in the table bp_posts, the new forum posts (from the old site) are visible, but after some experimentation, for that the posts are duplicated in wp_posts which is where the data is coming from. None of the new forum posts are in wp_posts which seems to be why they didn’t come through.

Apart from building the server itself, I didn’t have much to do with the upgrade, so I’m not entirely sure why this is. I’ve run the repair scripts which didn’t seem to do anything and spent over an hour trudging round all the options I can find in WordPress but can’t find anything that seems appropriate.

I’ve searched the forum and google and don’t seem to be able to find anyone with the same problem (though my google-fu may not be the best). Is anyone aware of why this has happened, or how I can fix it?

I have just tweaked your Drupal Importer @vogelsang and updated it with a few tweaks for formatting and a couple of extra fields that you wern’t importing.

Details are in trac here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2375
(You can download my updated version directly from here)

There will be an FAQ over here https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/drupal

• Forum parents/hierarchy is now imported
• Topic/Reply counts are also imported to help out bbPress counts
• Open or Closed topic status is imported
• Drupal users are also imported BUT passwords need to be manually reset **

** See the FAQ and or Trac Ticket #2375 for details on the imported user passwords issue.

Lastly thanks a heap for doing 99% of the heavy lifting in matching the Drupal database fields, most excellent work on your behalf 🙂

As to the problems you are having with the importer stopping on you could you try to reduce the load on your server by changing the import values for ‘Rows Limit’ and/or ‘Delay Time’ to see if it is a server resource issue or if it stops at the same point there might be some funky data being imported that the importer is getting caught on during import.

Cheers,

Stephen

@fontadoni – Thanks for the info. I have tried several times and not having any luck.

Here are somethings I have tried and still have not been successful:
1. install bbPress 1.2 as a standalone without WP integration on a local test domain (bbpress.dev)

2. Install WP with bbPress 2.3.2 on a local test domain (wordpress.dev) and then tried to do an import from bbPress1, using separate DB tables.

3. installed WP and bbPress 1.2 in another local test domain (wordpressbbpress.dev), using the same DB, and selected the WP integration when I installed bbPress. Then I installed bbPress 2.3.2 and tried to do the import and no joy.

In all the scenarios above, I get the yellow “Starting Conversion” box but then it shows:

Conversion Complete
No replies to convert

Converting topic tags (0 - 99)
Converting topics (0 - 99)
No forum parents to convert

Anyone have any other suggestions? I do have test data entered and forums created for testing but I don’t understand why it doesn’t find them. And yes, I did verify the prefix as bb_

Thanks,
Jeff
