You’ll want to research ‘WordPress multisite” and bbPress will take care of the rest. Most of the issues you’ll run into aren’t up to the software, but rather the user’s experience of visiting two forums, and how you choose to handle that strict divide.

[Stephen Edgar]

This has now been fixed and will be in the next update v2.12

As a workaround you can download the updated phpBB.php file here.

Seeing as you wiped bbPress and tried the import from phpBB again, if you do the same again with this update users no longer need to reset their password 😉

Hi

I have a wordpress based site with buddypress and BBpress. I use S2member for user management.

I have been unable to find a way to make a user a forum moderator.

Any help please?

Registration and login are build in. It’s using the WordPress functions for that.

Hello,
I’m using bbPress plugin with WordPress. But the problem is whenever I post a new topic or reply on forum, it shows up on recent post widget on my blog sidebar. I would like to know if there’s a way to stop this.

Thanks!

Sounds like cookies or caching, both of which are up to you to tune and troubleshoot, since bbPress’s stock settings play nicely with WordPress core in those regards.

[John James Jacoby]

You could use a subdirectory multisite installation of WordPress, and then activate bbPress on each site.

Try this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members . By using this plugin you can easily create new and existing users rules. You can see some screenshot here.

> The other issue is that subscribers cannot embedd pictures into posts but editors/administrators can. I have auto-embedd links ticked. It looks like it could be a permissision thing but I wanted to check if there is anything in bbpress that prevents subscribers from doing this?

Confirmed: Admin & Editor can embed images using <img src=hxxp://example.com/test.jpg />

Forum Participant, Forum Moderator, Subscriber, Contributor and Author roles cannot. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1916

You can only run a single instance of the bbPress plugin per WordPress install.

I think I solved. The reply edit from the “edit panel wordpress” does not lose the relationship with the topic parent if i remove to check on option “Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies”.

I thought the fancy wordpress editor could be used only to create topics and replies.

Thank you.

Hi I have a couple of queries I hope you can help with..

I would like to add a widget into my sidebar that displays the content of the last few posts created on any of the forums on the site. The wordpress widgets Latest Posts and Latest Comments don’t work and the existing bbpress ones don’t contain the actual posts. I have read various posts on this and I think I may have to write something myself to do this. However I wanted to check first if there is another way of getting this from bbpress other than creating a new widget?

The other issue is that subscribers cannot embedd pictures into posts but editors/administrators can. I have auto-embedd links ticked. It looks like it could be a permissision thing but I wanted to check if there is anything in bbpress that prevents subscribers from doing this? Thanks 🙂

Thanks… Though this should have already been patched 😉

I just tried the above with the newest wordpress and bbpress available. It does not work 🙁

Does anybody have a solution?

Hello,

since the update to bbPress 2.1 I get the following PHP error msg, when I am posting a new message. The message is posted and everything is fine, except for this error to pop up:

http://www.mydomain.de/blog/forums/users/auco/
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by 
(output started at /path/to/my/server/domain/blog/wp-content/plugins/
bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php:1012)
in /path/to/my/server/domain/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

I already followed this post from 4 years ago: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-error-messages/ and the relevant informations on codex.wordpress.org. I also made sure I’m running the latest stable PHP5 version.
Of course I’m also running the latest WP and have as few plugins as possible.

But I really can’t figure out how to suppress this message.
Any help is appreciated.

Relationship between topic end reply is lost if i edit reply from “wordpress edit reply”.

After running the Repair Forums, son not finds his father.

I have to copy old reply, delete it and put it back from input box bbpress.

Thanks Netweb.

Here is the screen shot. The “NO TOPIC” at the top right I remember that appeared a year ago with the first versions of bbPress plugin. Then the problem disappeared.
When saved, the connection between topics and reply of origin is lost, of course. .

Sure you can edit from the box, but it is easier for an administrator to do so by wordpress edit post function.

[c0cc0bill]

Thanks Netweb, you have been very kind to respond.

In fact it is as you say, if the edit is to form. If, however, i edit by wordpress panel to edit the topic and replies, I lose the connection.

When migrating to 2.1 I have chosen the theme compact. Before I had the theme of twenty.

I confirm that i am missing the function recount :((

Try «Forum Description» (Ref: here & here)

[Stephen Edgar]

@galynsky Can you confirm you are using the ‘import forums’ tool or the ‘export’ tool?

Import: WP-Admin -> Tools -> Forums -> ‘Import Forums’ (/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter)

Export: WP-Admin -> Tools -> Export

[Stephen Edgar]

@markusbb I am running out of ideas.
Try setting a fresh install of WordPress & bbPress on a different hosting provider or a local LAMP install on your PC and for the import use your webhosts remote SQL address to try the import again. As it will be slower using remote SQL connections lower the queries to eg. row limits = 10 and delay time = 5.

What version of bbPress Standalone are you using? If less than 1.1 can you upgrade to 1.1, does that work? If so does 1.1 -> 2.1 now work?

[Stephen Edgar]

Also have a read of the following thread and try some of the suggestions by JJJ here and here.

Can you try with a clean WordPress install on a different webhost or setup a local environment?

Try the import using the remote SQL server address rather than ‘localhost’

Can you narrow down the if it is an exact post that the importer fails on? eg. Is there some weird strings in the database for topic #xyz that is causing the importer to stop.

[Stephen Edgar]

I would suggest upgrading 1.02 -> 1.1 and then install v2.1.1 of the bbPress plugin and upgrade again checking everything as you go.

Once your old install is fully upgraded go to /wp-admin/export.php and export the Forum/Topics/Replies then /wp-admin/import.php and install the WordPress importer and import that into your other database.

[andersvinther2]

Is it not just a question of adding this widget: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/ ?

[andersvinther2]

I’d really like to have my users log in using their existing social media logins…

I’ve seen this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/loginradius-for-wordpress/

Does anyone have any experience with these guys?
