Your topic replies URL should be displaying in the format:

http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/butterflies/#post-158277

When I set my bbPress settings to the same settings you use above these are the URL’s:

Forums base: forum (Note: Default bbPress setting is ‘forums’)
Topics base: topics (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘topics’)
Forum Prefix ticked (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘ticked/checked’)
Forum slug: forums (Note: Default bbPress setting is ‘forum’)
Topic slug: topic (Note: Default bbPress setting ‘topic’)

http://localhost/sitename/forum/forums/butterflies/

http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/test-topic/

http://localhost/sitename/forum/topic/butterflies/#post-158277

I would 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.

If you have no luck I would read up on the LAMP/MAMP (Linux/Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP) package you are using on what settings are needed for mod_rewrite to work on your local machine.

There are also a few (and a few broken links here) installing WordPress Locally

=====================================================

Greetings!

I’ve been tackling this problem for so long now that my mind is turning to mush. I really need some direction on this…please?

Task: My site contains static PAGES for subscribers to view/download content. I have also created some PAGES that are to be DISCUSSION pages, where each PAGE deals with just ONE (1) topic only.

Example: On my site you have a PAGE called FORUM DISCUSSIONS. On this page you will find 4 links representing the TOPICS.

TOPIC ONE
TOPIC TWO
TOPIC THREE
TOPIC FOUR

If you click on the link TOPIC ONE, you arrive at the TOPIC ONE PAGE. Here, I would like to allow my members to post their questions, comments, and even embed a picture if they wish.

Each member that posts on this PAGE would see their comment show up at the very top, pushing previous posts down the page. And of course, the member name, date and time of post is important for each post made.

While I know how to create a PAGE where I want a specific TOPIC discussed (and only that TOPIC), I don’t know how to give it the ability I just described above (allow users to post, include picture, have it show up at the top, etc.)

I’m thinking this is not difficult but I can’t seem to find the answers to my specific needs. I do not want my members creating the topics. I don’t want all the other fluff that shows how many members there are, how many are online, or any other additional information. Just a simple editor box to create the post, and for that post to show up at the top of the PAGE.

Can this be done?

Thank you in advance!

🙂

I have the “Members”-plugin installed. After updating bbPress and changing all roles of the users from “(wordpress-)”participants” into “subscribers”, the “participant”-roles of bbPress were empty. Now all subscribers can participate in the private forums. Not what I’ve had in mind…

But in my functions.php I have a script to notify users of their updated capabilities. It starts with:
function user_role_update( $user_id, $new_role ) {
if($new_role == 'bbp_participant') {

But that doesn’t seem to work anymore. Did the name of the bbPress participant role change? Will
function user_role_update( $user_id, $new_role ) {
if($new_role == 'participant') {

work?

If you want to do it yourself then I would recommend looking here first: https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development – It tells you a bit about getting to grips with wordpress themes in general and then you can move onto bbPress which sits inside your wordpress theme.

Good luck.

[Lynq]

Have you done much editing with wordpress templates? You will need to edit the bbPress template files to move the make new topic button, or do what I did and add in a new button which scrolls you down using jquery.

[Lynq]

I downloaded the latest version of bbPress and the latest version of wordpress, did a local install probably only 5 days ago at max and then re created it using the functions from my teamoverpowered.com site.

[erwinodendaal]

I guess my problem that subscribers/forum participants after the update of bbPress 2.2 can no longer edit their profile page (and all subscribers/participants before could) are a result of the incompatibility of bbPress and the Members plugin?
Do I still need the Members plugin now that the roles for WordPress and bbPress are no longer one?

[Stephen Edgar]

Firstly, I am currently looking for feedback on the vBulletin importer and there have been reports that users do not get imported correctly, did your users get imported correctly?

eg. Migrating vBulletin 4.0.4 to bbPress 2.2.3 and bug tracking ticket #1991.

What version of vBulletin and bbPress are you using?

I personally don’t have access to vBulletin so I haven’t been able to test much of anything relating to vBulletin basically so helping out with your .htaccess would also be a bit of hit and miss.

Stack Exchange has some great examples of rewrites

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/.htaccess+mod-rewrite
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mod-rewrite

This is one of my favourites even though it is not specific to any of your needs here it is a good example of mod_rewrite regex rules.

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4318171/how-to-regex-and-htaccess-rewrite-url

A couple of other resources to help along the way:

• htaccess tester
• An In Depth Guide to mod_rewrite for Apache
• reFiddle regex expression testing

[Lynq]

Download the Zip from github and then unzip it into your wordpress theme. It will take care of the rest.

Good luck!

[Hansaplastique]

Thanks Stephen – and here I thought the “code” button would do that for me 😉
I’ll paste the code again, as you can see I removed some buttons (that have no purpose anyway) and added some …


add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'tinymce_other_css_for_content');

function bbp_mce_override( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_mce_override' );

if (!is_super_admin()) // remove/add buttons for non admins
{
function add_tinymce_buttons($buttons)
{
$arr_size=count($buttons);
$remove_these=array('blockquote','wp_adv','fullscreen','wp_more');

for ($counter=$arr_size; $counter>=0; $counter--)
{
if ( in_array($buttons[$counter],$remove_these) )
{
unset($buttons[$counter]);
}
}

array_push($buttons,'separator','cut','copy','paste','separator','undo','redo','separator','sub','sup','forecolor','backcolor','charmap');

return $buttons;
}

function add_tinymce_buttons_2($buttons)
{
unset($buttons);
return $buttons;
}

add_filter('mce_buttons', 'add_tinymce_buttons');
add_filter('mce_buttons_2', 'add_tinymce_buttons_2');
}


For some of these to work I had to expand the allowed_tags in WordPress (be carefull when doing this) using the following code;


function my_allowed_html_tags_in_comments() {
define('CUSTOM_TAGS', true);
global $allowedtags;

$allowedtags = array(
'a' => array(
'href' => array (),
'title' => array ()),
'blockquote' => array(
'cite' => array ()),
'cite' => array (),
'code' => array(),
'em' => array(),
'strong' => array(),
'pre' => array(
'class' => array()),
'p' => array(
'style' => array()),
'span' => array(
'style' => array()),
'sup' => array(),
'sub' => array()
);
}

add_action('init', 'my_allowed_html_tags_in_comments', 10);


Hope it’s helpful to someone 🙂

I can report that I’m experiencing the same issue that TranThe is experiencing. Many users, once they get logged in are getting 404 errors.

I can’t seem to figure it out. It does not seem to be entirely user role related and doesn’t seem to effect all the users, but I have a number of users and a testing account that get a 404 error.

I see TranThe’s fix above, but that seems pretty drastic, I’m not in a position to re-install WordPress and rebuild the database yet because of this. I’m running BBpress on the mainsite of a multisite install that hosts nearly 100 websites. His fix is great for a single site, but for me that’s a major operation, my database is huge.

[Prometheus Fire]

I’ve been following the updates to user roles in BBpress, but I think I’ve got a problem that may actually be a bug.

My setup is WP 3.5 multisite with BuddyPress. I have BBpress activated only on the main site. It’s not available to the subsites at all.

It seems however, that network members are being added to the subsites with the user role of participants. It doesn’t happen on all the sites, but I haven’t been able to narrow it down to what and why.

Generally speaking, the users don’t need to be added to the subsites since they are all just blogs anyhow and buddypress handles all the networking stuff associated with that. The issue is that the user’s My Sites menu in the WordPress admin bar for all those user seems to continually proliferate with with websites as they get added to them. It doesn’t seem to be a situation where the user visits the site and gets added as a participant (note, they are not added as a subscriber). The issues does not effect the Sites tab of the user’s BP profile. It is only the menu bar.

I keep getting messages from users saying that they aren’t users of the other members blogs but they keep showing up in the list. If this is intended, it creates a rather awkward user experience, and how do I turn it off? If its not intended, say so and I’ll create a trac ticket.

[Rasheed Bydousi]

It is a known problem:

After upgrading from WordPress 3.4.2 to 3.5 and bbPress from 2.1.2 to 2.2.3. The private forums are inaccessible for both admin and regular users.

I am using the Twenty Eleven theme. I also tried with the new Twenty Twelve theme, same thing.

Any ideas?
Thanks

[Lynq]

I am not sure of any plugins, but you could create one.

You could use the post_publish action – https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/publish_post

And then check the post type using https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_singular and then the email after grabbing the contents of the topic that was just posted.

Good luck! 🙂

[Tareq Hasan]

I am running the latest WordPress and bbPress. Few days back everything was ok. But somehow I am noticing that when making new replies, it’s not showing up in frontend single topic display. It’s showing up after few hours I guess. But it’s normally showing in admin area. There is no caching plugin installed.

Some weird behaviour:
1. The reply count is showing on topic list page. But not showing on single topic.

2. Showing on widget, but their order is not right.

Not sure whats coming wrong.

[Stephen Edgar]

I am currently looking for feedback on the vBulletin importer and this issue has been raised previously in our bug tracking #1991.

At the moment I am working on updating all the forum importers for the next major release of bbPress and waiting and seeking feedback from more users as this still appears broken for some and not others but as I don’t have access to vBulletin myself I cannot test this directly myself, let alone the different versions etc

I would be more than happy to take a look at this for you and make any fixes as needed.

Drop me an email to stephen@netweb.com.au and we can discuss it further.

[AllenPayne]

I would like to add that it the Ultimate TinyMCE editor works well with wordpress posts…It just doesn’t work with bbpress anymore (after last update).

[JuaninLAdP]

The actual problem that I have is that participants can set a topic’s attribute using the WordPress Administration Screen. Is there a way to remove this feature from participants?

[TranThe]

I do not really understand the problem.
However I believe it is an error in the database table wp_options
I was overcome as follows:
1: Exporting all of the tables in the database  exclusion  wp_options
2:  new wordpress installation complete
3: remove all of the tables in the new database, but to wp_options
4: Import database just saved aboveeverything

Do it slowly and carefully, step by step. Did not have any errors

You may have to re-install option, re-activate the plugins and themes …

Any help is better than the best
Sorry: my english is bad  ;( , try to understand 🙂

[Jennifer M. Dodd]

You need to upgrade BuddyPress to version 1.6.2.

You’ll find more support for this problem on the BuddyPress forums at https://buddypress.org/support/.

[Destillator]

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately changing the permalink-settings didn’t help. I’ve narrowed it down a little bit further; I use a wrapper for the entire forums with a file bbpress.php in my theme. Where a simple the_content statement first rendered the forums, they now fail to do so. If I replace the_content in bbpress.php with the code that’s present in plugins/bbpress/templates/bbp-twentyten/archive-forum.php, the frontpage shows up. But all links lead to 404 not found pages. Am I missing something here?

[Shane Gowland]

What’s the reasoning for not having forum users added to your WordPress install?

[AboudiePalisoc]

Now I can’t open my site. I know this is my fault, but i’ve been wroking on it for a couple of hours now to fix the problem but i still get the same message 🙁

Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/apalisoc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php on line 176 and defined in /home/apalisoc/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990

Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/apalisoc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-options.php on line 293 and defined in /home/apalisoc/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990

Looking at these file, seems like the old buddypress is not compatible ith 3.5 wordpress. What should I do to fix this?
