When I try to post a new topic I get “Too many redirects” and the post doesn’t show up in the forum directories?

However, the post is showing up in my frontpage widget with new posts.

Wordpress 3.5
BBpress 2.2.3

[Mike McNamara]

I have just installed bbPress onto a brand new WordPress install and have what may be a very basic question, but I seem unable to work it out!

How do I allow new users to join the Forum that I have created so that they can create topics and/or comment on existing forum topics?

Many thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for this, it would be great if these could be added here:

I think having a look at the following trac ticket that has some changes in the upcoming bbPress 2.3 might give you some pointers or it might be enough for you to just use as is when 2.3 is released.

Try bumping the converter start (_bbp_converter_start) up 1 or 2, and see if it continues on.

I am trying to wrap my head around this and this may or may not help 😉

Once the import stops at that magic ~31000 number open up your WordPress `wp_options` table in phpMyAdmin and find the following three entries (or values similar):

• `_bbp_converter_step | 6`
• `_bbp_converter_start | 31100`
• `_bbp_converter_query | SELECT convert(topics.topic_id USING “utf8…`

These translate to ‘step’ is the step the conversion was up to (Importing forums, forum hierarchy, topics etc), ‘start’ is the last set of rows the converter was importing when it stopped from the current ‘step’ and ‘query’ was the last SQL query executed.

I think from some calculated guesswork yours will be around step=6 & start=31000

What you can now try is to change this ‘start’ value directly in the `wp_options` table and increase the value to hopefully allow the importer to skip the problem and finish importing the remaining topics and onto importing the replies.

The default setting for the importer is to import 100 rows at a time as defined by ‘Rows Limit’ on the import options main import tool. Thus the importer could be failing on any of those 100 rows so if it was row 31000 that it stops on changing this to 31001 would continue on and finish the import. The reality is though that it could be any number from 31000 to 31099.

I would suggest on the forum import settings change ‘Rows Limit’ to ‘1’ and in `wp_options` change `_bbp_converter_start` to 31001 and click start. This will resume the last import starting at the same ‘step’ it left off with and starting at row 31001 and then proceed 1 row at a time.

If the import stops again you can look up the values in `wp_options` and increase by 1 again and resume the import again.

Now with that said the import will continue to only import 1 row at a time for the remainder of the import process which with 30,000+ topics I expect you will have quite a few tens or hundreds of thousands of replies to also import and this will be much slower than importing 100 rows at a time.

One other thing to be aware of is that currently activity feed integration doesn’t seem to be working if you’ve made your site private (using Settings->Reading or Settings->Privacy). Try allowing your site to be indexed and see if that solves the integration problem. There’s an open ticket for this issue if anyone is interested:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2151

Wp Mingle. In theory, there are no possible conflicts with bbpress.

[Stephen Edgar]

You didn’t state the full plugin name 😉

bbPress tries to be as compatible as it can with as many WordPress plugins as possible and I suggest you post in the Mingle Support Forum to see if any others have had the same issue and/or know of a work around. https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mingle

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you referring to Mingle Forums?

If so I could not repro this with bbPress 2.2.3 and Mingle Forums 1.0.33.3

• WordPress Role = Administrator | bbPress Role = Keymaster
• WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Moderator
• WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Participant
• WordPress Role = Subscriber | bbPress Role = Spectator

The above was all I tested but each works as expected:
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

[kraigg]

I’m having problems with my forum, where only Administrators can see topics (new and old) in the forums. Everyone else with non-Administrator user roles cannot see topics, only replies. If I log in as a normal user and go into a forum topic, it shows only topic title, replies (if any), but no initial topic content.

I’m using BuddyPress 1.6.2, bbPress 2.2.3, WordPress 3.5, and I’m also using the User Role Editor plugin.

If I give all users the same user roles as the Administrator, they can now see topics, but obviously I don’t want to give everyone admin access. Do you know what role I need tick in User Role Editor so that all users can see topics?

Here are the user role I currently have set for a normal user: http://imgur.com/XsWPg

Hi everyone,
I need your help. I wanna migrate from phpbb to bbpress.

It appears that bbPress Sweedish translations are a bit all over the place:

bbPress Dev – 87% Complete https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/sv/default
bbPress 2.2x – 0% Complete https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.2.x/sv/default

Also WP Sweeden had previously operated there own translations here
bbPress 2.1 http://wpsv.se/oversattning/projects/bbpress/21
bbPress 2.0 http://wpsv.se/oversattning/projects/bbpress/20

I think the best idea would be to contact WP Sweeden and ask about bbPress translations

I’ve noticed this for a while, and I’m not sure what is causing it.

Whenever I use an @mention in my forum posts I get a DB error reported in my server’s error log.

Here is an example:

WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘http://www.mysite.com/members/dave/’ rel=’nofollow’>@cdave is’ at line 1 for query SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘reply’ AND post_status != ‘trash’ AND post_author = 11 AND post_content = ‘ @cdave is this still happening Dave?’ AND post_parent = ‘11990’ LIMIT 1 made by

Any idea if this is actually my DB or is it BBPress at fault?

My site title also has an apostrophe in it, and this appears as raw HTML in all notification emails.

Any idea on these 2 things guys?

[Stephen Edgar]

Did you run the bbPress 1.1 admin recount tools /bb-admin/tools-recount.php before importing?

You can try importing again now and if that fixed it, good, if not onto phpMyAdmin:

To check the integrity of the bbPress 1.1 database and repair/optimize any tables if needed. The instructions in following are written for WordPress but are the same for any database so follow the two steps ‘Optimization using phpMyAdmin’ and ‘How to Repair WordPress Tables’ here:

[muyilleum]

I’m not sure what is happening here but can’t seem to make a post in this support forum. Here’s my problem again:

I uninstalled bbPress from my blog but found that the additional roles (e.g. Keymaster, Spectator etc) remain. How can I get rid of these additional forum roles now that bbPress has been uninstalled? Thanks

WordPress version: 3.5, bbPress version: 2.2.3

This one maybe?

[Will Brownsberger]

For some strange reason, the list of “topics started” in the user profile does not work in Firefox. It works in IE, Safari and Chrome.

To see the problem, try this link in the several browers.

http://willbrownsberger.com/index.php/forums/users/rich-carlson/topics

In firefox, nothing is visible below the header “Forum Topics Started”, while in the other browsers, a topic list appears as expected.

The behavior is the same for the replies list. In this example, the user has no Favorites and the statement that there are no favorites does appear. In the case of a user with favorites, nothing shows.

So, I guess there is something in the source that generates list for this page that Firefox doesn’t like.

I’m on bbPress 2.2.3 and WordPress 3.5. I have a few theme modifications to bbpress in place, but not for this template and I had noticed that the problem was occurring before I made the modifications.

Baffled. Presumably, the source served to the browsers is all the same.

Any suggestions?

[steveredshaw]

I am just checking out bbPress as possibility for including on a site I am developing for a social group I belong to. Is it possible to set a forum up so that any posts are moderated and approved before they are published?

[Hansaplastique]

Oh you of course will need CodeColorer plugin installed …

[Hansaplastique]

Never mind; figured it out (by coincidence).

If anyone is interested, add the following code to your wordpress functions.php;

function t4a_bbp_shortcodes( $content, $reply_id ) {
	return codecolorer_highlight( $content );
}
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_content', 't4a_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_content', 't4a_bbp_shortcodes', 10, 2);

[Hansaplastique]

I’d like to offer visitors the ability to use CodeColorer to syntax highlight their code.

I know that shortcodes are basically disabled for security reasons – which makes sense.

But how can I add a “safe” shortcode to bbpress?
The WP plugin bbPress2 Shortcode Whitelist and bbPress do shortcodes are not working (the latter even being risky at best).

bbPress: 2.2.3
WP: 3.5

I have a pre-installation question regarding the registration and login parts.

If I install the bbpress into my wordpress site – can I separate the registration and login from the actual wordpress registration and log in so the user doesn’t actually have an account on my wordpress site, but rather their account is only contained for the bbpress? I don’t have a blog or offer replies on my pages, so I have no need for people to create some user account on my site for that purpose. I do use a registration/login on my site, but that redirects users somewhere else away from my site.

So, can this be accomplished in bbpress?

Thanks in advance for your reply…
