At first, sorry about my english, i’m not fluent.
WordPress version:3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.3
Theme: Origin version 0.3.5

The problem don’t happen with TwentyTwelve.
I’m using a very modified version of Origin from AlienWP. Everything works fine with bbPress, except any forum page (list of topics). It stays blank.

Checking the code in this blank page, we can see that nothing after site description is loaded, not even the content is opened. Theme header stops at this point:

`…

/** STOPS HERE ***/

…`

I tried to create a new “normal” page and use the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=2633] to list topics;, it works, but there’s a link on breadcrumbs (inside each topic) that still pointing to original forum list.

I really don’t want to change my theme, so any idea is appreciated.

Forum page – list of topics (not working) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/forum/sega-mega-drive-genesis/
Topic (working) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/topic/super-monaco-gp/

have you tried searching the wordpress plugin directory ?

I use BBPress-topic-to-post plugin to replace my wordpress replies for bbpress topics.
Now I face the problem that I would like to link from BBpress forum to my posts
Can anybody help me?

f.e.
domain.com/forums/forum/forumname contains links to forumtopics. These links I’d like to redirect to the orginal post

So changing the link from
domain.com/forums/topic/xxx/ (xxx is a post AND a forumtopic thanks to the plugin)
to
domain.com/xxx/

Hope my questiosn is clear. If not, I’m looking for the file with the hardcode of domain.com/forums/forum/forumname

Hi – i’ve been trying out various options for setting up a forum within/alongside wordpress.
It looks like my final choice will be bbPress – however I still seem to have one outstanding issue that I can’t seem to solve (have done plenty of searching as well).

The install is fresh today with current versions of wordpress & bbPress – no other plugins are currently enabled & i’m just using the twenty twelve theme at the moment.

I have set up a registration page using the registration short code.
When you submit a registration, it takes you to the WP-admin login page…i’d prefer to keep the user in the front end at all times & direct them to a landing page to say thank you & check your inbox.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Tom

I’ve released V1.6 of the bbPress Moderation plugin to workaround the changes in bbPress 2.3

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

Any problems – let me know.

[Daniel Lemes]

I have the very same issue and to make it clear: i’m using Origin theme too, and the breadcrumbs on topic page have a link to forums list (works fine) and to forum which those topic belongs (don’t work).

Even creating a blank page with the shortcode [bbp-topic-index], how to use same slug (WordPress automatically puts a number 2 in the end)?

Forums list (working fine) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/
Forum (not working) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/forum/sega-mega-drive-genesis
Topic (working fine) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/topic/super-monaco-gp/

Thanks in advance.

I totally agree, this is a much needed function and is included in the majority of forums software. I am constantly asked for this and I cannot do anything about it. I really hope this ships with bbpress2 in the near future and I hope that developers of this great software take my request and the OP’s request to heart. The proof is in the pudding so to speak, if you look at the votes on this page you will see most people voting for BBPM to be updated for bbpress http://nightgunner5.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/bbpm-plugin-plugin/

this is a necessary update we all need.

Hi Guys,
this might sound easy to achieve but I am newbie 😀

how can I change the sidebar of the forum.
I have created (registred) a new sidebar named it ” forum “.
I went to : plugins\bbpress\templates\default\extras and edited this: into this :

But it’s still showing the sidebar of the default wordpress pages.
am I editing the right files?

Thanks for your help.

I instaled bbPress 2.3 on WordPress 3.5.1 but the forum urls are not found.

In the other hand i cant find any bb-press config file anywhere, where is bb-press config file?

[Corinthian72]

I’m trying to get current forum id in header.php file of my theme with function bbp_get_forum_id(), but it always returns empty result.

What am I doing wrong?

P.S. I’m using bbPress 2.3 plugin installed on latest version of WordPress.

[kraigg]

I think you’re right about the dynamic capabilities in bbPress, but I’ve had weird situations where I’ve changed a capability in WordPress and it affects bbPress functionality (eg https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topics-are-invisible-for-all-users-except-for-admin/#post-124896)

Good to hear you’ve found the culprit. It is quite an old plugin (over 3 years old), so it would’ve been compatible with an older version of WordPress, and most likely some of its functions have been deprecated since. Are you able to find an alternate but similar plugin?

[ovizii]

hm, thx for the feedback, so I did this:

– all plugins off except bbpress and User Role Editor: posting worked. so now I am re-activating all plugins one-by-one to find the culprit.

The culprit is: WP Easy Uploader

http://chrisjean.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-easy-uploader/ very old but useful plugin.

btw. User Role Editor cannot edit bbpress roles as I understand they are dynamic? Not 100% about that statement but haven’t found a way to edit them.

[kraigg]

@ovizii

It could be one of your plugins that is blocking regular users from posting. I had a similar problem last month and I thought it was a bbPress problem, but it turned out to be another plugin.

If you have a production version of your website, try to deactivate all of our plugins except bbPress and User Role Editor. Also try to switch back to the default theme, just to confirm that it’s not something in your functions.php that is causing problems. What version of bbPress and WordPress are you using?

The other thing to try is to use User Role Editor to add capabilities to your Participant role, and keep adding until it fixes the posting issue. Then at least you’ll be able to pinpoint the capability that is causing the problem. But first make sure to create a backup of the Participant role so you can revert back to it.

[ovizii]

I’ve set my users to about every possible bbpress AND wordpress role and only if they are a key master can they post/reply.

HELP!

[mtedwards]

Thanks Stephen,

I finally got it by doing it all manually at a database level.

Incrementing all of the users, posts, post_meta etc then merging them into the existing database. A little time consuming but got me there in the end and that all that matters really.

Can anyone provide some guidance on how to implement bbPress in the iThemes Andrina theme.
Wordpress version 3.5.1
bbPress version 2.3
Andrina theme vesrsion 3.2.2

I activated bbPress and created Forums and Topics but I do not see how to implement it in the same manner as the demonstrations that I have seen on the twenty eleven theme and others.

Thank You

[GamerPerfection]

I hope this is the right place to ask.

I am moving away from vBulletin (yay) and on to WordPress.
Currently I have vBulletin 4.2.0 which includes forum and CMS.

When I move to WordPress I will not be using bbPress (at least for now).

Is it still possible for me to export my vB users and import to WordPress 3.5.1 if i’m not using bbPress? And if so, is it easy to do?

Thanks.

[kriskl]

I may have found the reason for pending posts..

there were certain words in wordpress (comments) black listed, and I think it has prevented also bbpress new topic/replies being posted automatically

[kannued]

Previously only the wordpress search was on the page on the left side column. I thought that would be sufficient to search through bbpress posts especially with the plugin that I have, see below. I would like to disable the bbpress search box.

My plugins are bbpress, bbpressmoderation, bbpress topics for posts, en Spam, search bbpress 2.0, and wanguard.

Here is my link. http://www.canadianbookclubs.com/forums2/

Where you see the forum summary section, it used to be the latest posts.

[Jared Atchison]

The new search is a bbPress specific search and while the previous one is a WordPress search. Do you want to disable the bbPress one?

Can you provide me with a list of plugins you are using? That is likely the culprit at play here.

[kannued]

And there is a new search box above the new forum summary page. So now I have two search boxes on the page. One that is set by wordpress, and one that has appeared courtesy of the updated bbpress plugin

Is there any way to revert back to the bbpress plugin before this last update?

[kannued]

I updated bbpress. Never had problems with the previous updates. Now, I have the following problems on my front page:

Oh bother! No topics were found here! (why has this appeared? Comes from div id=”bbpress-forums” and div class=”bbp-template-notice”

Even though my front page is checked for latest posts. It is now showing my forum summary page. Why is bbpress plugin superseding the wordpress of only showing latest posts?

I never changed anything in bbpress files.

[losting]

Whenever a user posts a comment it redirects them back to the very beginning of the conversation instead of letting them continue to read/comment from the current place. There are several pages of comments so its really annoying to have to keep scrolling down again and find where you left off. Can this be fixed?

Specs: I’m using WordPress 3.4.2 and BBPress 2.2.4.

Thanks for your help!

Hi there,

Thanks in Advance…

I’m facing a problem that the topics are not displaying in forum. I use WordPress + Genesis Framework + bbPress + Genesis bbpress Extend (plugin).. What to do?

[Klaas Koopman]

Hi All,

I am working on bbpress on my new site, so it works together with buddypress. But I really hate the way the url structure looks on the forum.

now it’s forums/forum/test and I changed that already to forum/subject

But now when I look at a topic, it’s /topic/post instead of forum/subject/post.

Any way to fix this? I did find some guys talk about a nicer permalinks plugin, but when I click that link I keep getting back to a post about it on this forum…

I got the latest install of wordpress, buddypress bbpress
