Hello,

So I am new to wordpress and bbpress. For forum usage I am very used to phpbb3. I installed bbpress + buddypress because my wordpress theme supports it, but upon playing with it, it doesn’t feel like forums at all.

1) Why can’t I do a normal forum layout:

Category 1
Forum 1
Forum 1 description
Forum 2
Forum 2 description
Category 2
Etc

2) Where is the normal forum functionality? Signatures, Mark all as read, statistics, Who’s Online, etc

3) No usergroups or controls? How do I set private forums? Some forums I want people to read and reply, but not create new posts. I can’t do this?

4) It doesnt seem it even tells me which forum has new posts and which doesn’t? Maybe that’s a Theme issue?

So is bbpress actual forums or meant for something else? Or am I missing it all entirely?

Hello all,
For some reason, the posting form is not visible on internet explorer. it works on all other browsers.
I am using the current version of wordpress and bbpress

I just install and use BBpress, all settings are fine for me, but only the below issue.

I would like to integrate WordPress Social Login 2.3.3 into my forum, in which I find that there is no Login/Register box for visitors to register/login before creating/commenting topics.

May any specialist provide solutions to me?

THanks a lot!!!

Hi everybody, first post here! 😉

I hope somebody can help me, since I’m having problems with the translation of a new bbPress installation… It’s kind of strange actually, because it seems to translate only part of the strings, but if I check my .mo & .po files they’re fully translated, just how it should be.

I’ve been using WordPress for years but it’s the first time I used bbPress as well, so I followed these instructions religiously.
(I actually only had to change the directory in which I put the .mo & .po files to wp-content/languages/plugins, since putting them in wp-content/languages/bbpress/ – I had to create this folder to try – like written in the documentation won’t work. After that I tried to put them in every other “logic” place that came to mind with no success)

Here are a couple of screenshot to let me show my “half translated/half not” situation:

I have the same issue, my custom translation doesn’t work.

As far as I understand the problem exist for a year already:

The RC 5 is not getting downloaded for me from the page https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/advanced/

https://ibb.co/cfQDB5

I am getting the following error.

This site can’t be reached

The web page at https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.2.6-rc-5.zip might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

WordPress 4.8.2 running GeneratePress theme
bbpress Version 2.5.14

‘Forums’ has disappeared from the wordpress admin menu. They are still there on the front end but I can’t access forums on the dashboard.

Help?

[clearscope]

Not sure what you mean – are you suggesting that this is a conflict with the site itself?

This issue is occurring with the default Twenty Seventeen theme, the most recent version of WordPress, the most recent version of bbPress, and with no other plugins installed.

It seems that this is an issue with bbPress itself, not any sort of conflict with a site.

whilst it is old, I believe it still works fine

my style pack has a template that groups forums by categories to achieve this layout

bbp style pack

dashboard>plugins>bbp style pack>forum templates

[John James Jacoby]

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/41134 seems relevant here.

@fabian If you wanted to take a stab at sprucing bbPress up with its own polyfill for autoload support, I’m happy to help test and implement.

We should probably open a ticket on our Trac as well.

Hello,

Can somebody please tell me how translation of bbpress works?

What I did:

I installed WordPress and set my default language
I installed bbpress plugin
I installed Loco translate
I create the map languages/bbpress on ftp
I downloaded the .po and .mo and put in the map

But nothing is working! Can somebody help me please?

[Robin W]

just had a quick look at what was in the free version, and looks like the pro version may have what you want – it claims

Buddpress profile link integration (New in V1.0.4)
BBpress profile link integration (New in V1.0.4)
BBpress Online User Statistics (New in V1.0.5)

maybe worth looking at

CBX User Online for WordPress

@rogerlridge you can also see if this plugin does what you want/need; https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/

I have installed bbPress and have the forums set up (N1outdoors.com/n1forums). When someone registers as a new user, I receive the notification that a new user has signed up. However, they never receive the password email. I have tried this on multiple computers/devices in multiple places and cannot get it to work.

I have seen several posts where this is a problem, but cannot find an answer that works. I am not a developer, but am trying to fix this on our site. Please help. Thank you.

My wordpress version is 4.8.2

I am using the following:
bbPress Version 2.5.14

Select bbPress – Moderation Tools
Version 1.0.7 | By Digital Arm

Select bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages
Version 2.1.5 | By Tomas Zhu | View details

Hi there,
How can I replace “voices” and “replaies” with icons (i.e. Font Awosome), as I can see in WordPress Support Forum?

-> https://wordpress.org/support/view/all-topics/

Is there any plugin? Or I need to edit php files (but then what happens after every bbpress update?)? Thanks!

[vegetarianzen]

Hello Team bbpress

I am using the plugin bbpress. I want to customise that view of forum similar to http://www.veggieboards.com/forum/index.php this link.

I have created the child theme and add the css folder and archive-forums.php file in the child theme. I am not able to customise plugin using css only because I want to change the structure. If I change plugin core file then future update overwrite my code and when I am place the complete plugin in child then its stop working and page become blank.

Please give me the solution I am waiting your solutions.

My bbpress plugin Version: 2.5.14

Wordpress Version: 4.8.2

Thanks

My goal is to create a login and registration for my forum. I go to wordpress admin page > Appearance > Widgets. Although, when I do this no “bbpress sidebar” is available to put widgets into it. What do I do?

[Mike Costanzo]

Hi there!

I’m importing forums from Rainmaker into WordPress 4.8.2 and BBPress 2.5.14. On first glance, it looks like all has done well; a quick glance at a sample Forum, for example, tells me:

“This forum contains 74 topics and 698 replies.”

However, my Topics and Replies are not being “found” when a Forum is clicked on:

“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

This appears to be because the post_parent in wp_posts for all these Topics and Replies is set to “0” in the database. And what’s worse, the “Repair” tools like “Recalculate the parent topic for each post” or “Recalculate the parent forum for each post” do not fix the problem; post_parent remains at value 0.

The only way I have found to populate a Topic with the correct post_parent value is to open that topic in the Editor and click Publish. But since I have hundreds of Topics and thousands of Replies, manually saving all these Posts is hardly a workable solution.

Does anyone know of a better way to solve this problem that doesn’t involve nearly infinite man-hours of drudgery and toil?

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give. Long live BBPress!

It was close to 10 years ago we did this.

The reason why passwords work better for us here is that we can arrange a class for paid members, several classes each month. The instructions and curriculum will be in private/locked forum. This will change every month and we will have multiple classes each month.

If we can simply add a password, we can email that out to the class lists. Using private groups someone would have to modify all those users and that is time consuming. Also what if a person pays for 2 of the 4 classes offered, how would groups handle that? The user would have to be a member of multiple groups. There will be new offerings every month so the list of groups would grow to an unmanageable task.

It may have been a mod I did to allow the passwords before, I don’t remember. This was long before WordPress.

[Robin W]

there are none, basically bbpress is a plugin under wordpress, so if your wordpress site works, then bbpress should, with any in support versions of php and wordpress

[Robin W]

ok, so it’s more a site than a bbpress issue.

so more fault finding needed.
