Using bbconvertor, from bbpress 1.1 to WordPress 3.4.2. Starting with a default WordPress, fresh startup. Started bbconvertor after filling in the settings on wp. During conversion, said I had no forums, but I have five forums. See below. Said conversion complete. Told me to do a recount, click here, which I did. Then it said “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” So I recounted on the bbpress dashboard. But that didn’t change things. Would it be better to use import forums? Please don’t forget to update your counters HERE Conversion Complete Convert posts (400 – 499) Convert posts (300 – 399) Convert posts (200 – 299) Convert posts (100 – 199) Convert posts (0 – 99) Convert tags (200 – 299) Convert tags (100 – 199) Convert tags (0 – 99) Convert topics (200 – 299) Convert topics (100 – 199) Convert topics (0 – 99) No forums to convert parents Convert forums (0 – 99) Delete users wordpress default passwords (0 – 99) Convert users (0 – 99) Not Cleaning Data Starting Conversion…

I uploaded it to my server for you, http://makemeawebsite.asia/bbpress-thesis.zip
You can download the file and activate it to your wordpress admin.

I’m confused about what you’re trying to do. You’ll really want to stick to using the functions included with bbPress rather than trying to build your own MySQL queries to connect things.

bbPress uses a bunch of additional post_meta to connect forums, topics, and replies together. It also keeps counts in post_meta of how many topics and replies live inside any forum or topic. When things are off, they’re really off, like you’re showing in your link above.

My advice:

• Use bbPress core functions.
• Use the WordPress import/export tool if you’re moving between installations.
• Look at the bbPress functions for inserting forums/topics/replies, and use those as your guide if you still plan on building something custom.

In future versions, I’ll likely clean up some of the post_meta code, so it’s all in one place and easier to grok. Much of it was written as it was needed, so the post_meta isn’t super organized.

The result of the nonce check comes from WordPress’s function: wp_verify_nonce()

It does the token check like you’re looking for.

I was making an edit in WP using the editor tool and now I’m getting this error

Warning: require(/hermes/waloraweb094/b316/moo.voyagingid/wordpressNew/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/bbp-admin.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/waloraweb094/b316/moo.voyagingid/wordpressNew/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 311

 I tried copying over the files it mentions as well as the header.php file I was editing but no luck. I can still see my site and everything seems to be functioning fine I just can't get to the backend WP version 4.2.1 (i think) bbpress - the latest retreadwerks.com/wordpressNew/

Wow, you’re as helpful as a CNN blog comment, useless.

This is a bbpress function, so i’m asking here. WordPress forums would say to come here.

Go troll youtube or something.

BUMP

WordPress and bbPress use $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] here and there and this is a bad thing if a reverse proxy is involved.

If you are using Apache mod_proxy use:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypreservehost

If you’re an nginx guy go with:

proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

Also check if you are using HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST in the correct way, in order to get the “real” IP address of the request.

Do not touch bbp_verify_nonce_request.

[Stephen Edgar]

This markdown/code plugin here on bbpress.org has got to go or get fixed 🙁

In theory by adding lines 14 to 26 to ‘somewhere’ eg. the footer as you suggest should work.

With all that said though it should be working as is so if that doesn’t there might be another underlying issue that is stopping the pagination working on your site

Hmmmmm… What about pagination-replies.php?

[fuzzybee]

Hope some bbPress and/ or WordPress experts could help.

Thanks,

[Stephen Edgar]

Have a look in /wp-content/yourtheme/bbpress/loop-replies.php and make sure you have the following lines included which will then include the pagination links.

You should see respectively at the top (Trac Source)

and at the bottom of that code (Trac Source)

(The missing text when editing a reply is already patched for the next release)

Hi

WP: 3.4.2
bbPress: 2.1.2

When I activate bbPress, the editor on my currently existing pages and posts does not work.

Symptoms:

• The “kitchen sink” toolbar is no longer displayed.
• The text in the editor panel (“Visual” tab) is white HTML on a white background.
• When adding a new page or post, the toolbar appears ok
• When adding a new forum or topic in bbpress, the toolbar appears ok

If I deactivate bbPress, I can edit existing pages/posts with the editor working correctly.

Environment.

This is a brand-new wordpress 3.4.2 installation
bbpress 2.1.2 just installed.

No other plugins or themes are yet installed.

Thanks for your help.
Ian

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you using custom templates (copied bbPress templates to your WordPress theme folder) or have you just tweaked the bbpress.css to match your theme?

Also what version of bbPress are you using?

[johnjack]

Evening All
The bbpress plugin for wordpress is amazing! Big thanks to the guys who put it together.
I have a small issue that I am sure is more a newbie thing rather than anything big.
My forums are showing as post on my blog site rather than using the ‘page template’. I can use the shortcode to make certain section initialy show on a page however when ever you click on a topic it takes you back to a post template (with all the post written by, tags etc etc).
Is there anyway to make the plugin use a page template rather than a post?
I am using the Arras Theme at the moment (which could be part of the problem)
Any help would be fab

Thanks

JohnJack

From what you have described you would be better off using a support ticket system instead of a forum. There are a number of really good ticket systems available for WordPress and they do pretty much exactly what you are asking for. Better to do that, than to try and shoehorn bbPress into doing something it was never designed to do.

[John James Jacoby]

Anything is possible.

You’ll want to research WordPress login plugins, if you want more control over the login page than what bbPress provides. You can use the login form shortcode, but that won’t prevent people from navigating to wp-login.php directly.

[Anointed]

There is not currently a shortcode capable of doing this.

HOWEVER!!
There is a way of accomplishing this and so much more with a plugin.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/network-latest-posts/

If you have ever had to deal with multisite and switch_to_blog() before, then this plugin is going to blow your mind away. Hands down my #1 rated plugin of the year 🙂

[Keith Kelly]

I was thinking the shortcode could include the site id. Something like this:

[bbp-single-forum siteid=2 id=32]

I am not sure if that is possible.

[Keith Kelly]

I was experiencing the same issue. I found a plugin that seemed to correct the problem.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/

Once I installed this and assigned the roles across all of my sites everything works fine.

I have the same issue. The sidebar is cutting off all the RH text of people’s forum posts plus hiding the all-important Submit button. What were once very robust forums in Drupal are now dead in the water in WordPress due to this issue.

I want all the forum pages and posts to be full-width, like the main forums page where I placed the short code. I’m willing to pay someone to help resolve this, since I don’t know how to do coding or create child themes, and can’t use the Genesis plugin since I’m not using a Genesis framework. Any links anyone can point to for help? Thanks. (By the way I now see that this very forum suffers a bit from the same issue—the message box is cut off on the right and the green Submit button is partially cut off—but at least people can see it.)

[Stephen Edgar]

Nice work, thanks for sharing it.

[kristinachilds]

I’ve installed this plugin and the admin side works perfectly. I am able to create forums, topics, replies, etc, however it doesn’t not show up on the actual site. At all. Even when I click the “preview forum” or “view forum” buttons, the browser tells me that link doesn’t exist. It’s a 404 error.

I’ve checked all the settings and they are all public and seem to be correct… Though as an admin I should be able to see them all anyway.

I’m on WordPress 3.4.2 with bbPress 2.1.2

@John

First I want to thank you for bbPress as I use it a lot. 🙂

I had same question like OC2PS from long time and after reading your answers, I still feel an urge to take this discussion ahead. IMHO what OC2PS suggested is intuitive.

With references to your answers:

> Taxonomies don’t have metadata, to allow for topic & replies counts or latest content

(Not one of best suggestion) Taxonomy-meta can be stored in an extra mysql-table. I wish like many other this to be part of WordPress core though (ref)

Once we accept overhead of extra DB table, other things seems easy.

> Comments don’t allow for attachments without some major work

Comments already have commentmeta. May be we can use it to store array of attachment_id.

Off-topic – By the way I did not find attachments support in bbPress out of the box? I am using a bbPress plugin for that. Am I missing something here?

> The API for custom post types is farther along…

Agree. 🙂

Post-revision is an example which I guess used internally to track edits to replies.

==

While the outcome bbPress is good in reality, it just feels off-beat to have 3 custom-posts.

IMHO, going with 1 custom-post+commets+custom-taxonomy way might have made themeing part easier…

[Keith Kelly]

Is there any shortcode that would allow me to display a forum from one of my other sites on a multisite installation?

I was hoping to display the latest topics of a forum from site “X” on site “Y” because they share interests. I am hoping to do that with shortcode and not a theme change because I am using the same theme across all of my sites.
