No,
so I didnt have the plugin installed before, my plugins installed were , Easy Digital Downloads and EDD Extensions but this issue happend after the wordpress update from 3.9.3 to 4.1.1
It was very easy I just installed the plugin and I went to the Settings page of the User Role Editor there was only one button wich Asks to reset I clicked and Done.Now I dont have any issue.
ok, you should not change the default bbpress.css as this gets trashed by upgrades
you should put the bbpress.css file into your theme, and preferably a child theme, as otherwise theme upgrades will delete it.
See
functions-files-and-child-themes-explained
you could also use
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack
which may well do all that you want, and isn’t lost when bbpress or themes are upgraded
@manavforum
again the same as for bbpress – but you can use the bbpress login widget or use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
Thanks,
I figuret it out Reseting Roles using the plugin User Role Editor
I’m happy to be new to this community. I’ve been using phpBB for forums for years, and recently decided to migrate over to bbPress. I recently installed all newest versions of WordPress and bbPress.
I have a medium sized phpBB forum with thousands of topics, so I need to preserve the users and topics.
My setup is a bit strange though – I am using aMember, and this membership program creates an integration between WordPress and phpBB. The result is the same users exist in phpBB as in WordPress.
So, when I attempted to import users and topics from phpBB into bbPress (using import tool that came with bbPress), the forums and topics did import but the users all had “imported_” before their user names. My guess is this was an attempt to prevent duplicate users.
Is there a method to import my forums and topics from phpBB into bbPress, and have the authors of topics and replies synced to the already existing users in WordPress? Thanks for any suggestions.
go to the WordPress backend in the menu settings > general
and then allow registration
Hi guys. I’m importing a bunch of topics and Replies from one WordPress installation to another (separate servers.)
The import looks like it’s going through perfectly, and the authors seemed to be assigned to the topics (see http://i.imgur.com/TICtdLN.png) – but even though the topics are tied to a forum attribute, they refuse to show up the actual forms page.
Here is a screenshot of the forums page – http://i.imgur.com/9JQZRqj.png – this is after I import all the topics and they show up within the admin panel with the the proper dropdowns tied to each one.
When I go to “Repair Forums” within Tools->Forums on the backend, recalculating removes the forums that the topics are tied to without remedying anything. Ultimately, it just makes it worse in the end.
Right now I’m hoping I don’t have to manually tie each topic to it’s proper forum since there’s so many that need to be added, so I was curious if anyone would have input on how to fix this import issue or point out what I’m doing wrong in the process.

General Issues
bbPress works with many themes and plugins, but it is impossible to test all combinations, and many issues are caused by conflicts with plugins and themes.
Therefore before posting, please test if your issue is resolved by the following
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. If it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
If the above produces an issue:
If it is a paid theme or plugin, please contact the authors for resolution.
If free, do ask here, we may know of workaround.
PLEASE tell us you have done the tests above when posting.
OTHER COMMON FIXES
The following will do no harm, so are worth a try and can fix some issues
Dashboard>settings>permalinks. Don’t change anything, but just click save. This resets the permalinks, and can solve some 404 errors.
Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time. Useful if you’ve got some stuff not showing – doesn’t often fix but occasionally does.
but when you do update
i say make a backup of your site using this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/
maybe even a couple of backups for a safe measure
1 to your email , 1 on your host , and 1 on your cpu.
then update WordPress.
okay, you want this forums style
you should hire a designer
post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/
use this plugin add your PHP code snippets to it.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/
they use the regular WordPress registration
which is http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=register
or you can put the bbPress shortcode [bbp-register] into a page for a frontend form
here is the rest of the supplied shortcodes
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
if you have the slack interface up , go to the channels section and browse them til you find #bbpress
or you can go here

Dear robkk thank you for your reply..
I just realize that the “to” field has the noreply address because the users addresses exists in the bcc field… maybe… I will investigate this one…
How can I get in contact with developers..?
I joined the “Making WordPress” team in slack but how can I join the bbPress team in slack?
Best regards
Andreas
Thank you so much, should this code be in the bbpress setting or the wordpress settings? thks
Problem solved it was a wordpress super cache, i for to deactivate that one
I’d like to edit my forum homepage to show the latest posts (much like this forum), as well as the main forum topics, but what is the name of the file actually controls the display of the forum homepage? I can’t believe I’m asking this, but I just can’t figure out where it is!
And are there conditionals you can use to target different pages – similar to wordpress is_home() is_archive() etc – and if so, is there a list of them somewhere?
Thanks for any help at all.
maybe this guide will help you with understanding.
Functions files and child themes – explained !
but you can also put any PHP code snippets in a functionality plugin like this one
https://wordpress.org/plugins/functionality/
bbPress doesnt have themes anymore , it just uses WordPress ones.
you can customize it yourself to look kind of like that though , either following this
codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/
or using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
you can also post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and hire a developer to develop this for you.
the plugin only affects the normal WordPress search i think so just use the normal WordPress search for your site.
and disable the forum search in settings > forums in the back-end of WordPress
but like i said before you would have to probably enable each post type to be in the regular WordPress search.
add this to your child themes functions.php or add it to a functionality plugin.
/**
* Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'forum' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search( $forum_search ) {
$forum_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $forum_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_forum_cpt_search' );
/**
* Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results */
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );
when your done make sure you have search custom taxonomies in the search everything plugin settings maybe even the search every tag option too.
Robin – I think you may have misinterpreted my last response or maybe I worded it funny. My bbPress search function is not return results.
Take a look for yourself:
http://www.ohio-offroad.com/forums
Enter “Track” or “Trail” words that are used quite a bit. The only return you will get is my latest post which does not have these words. It does not return the 15 or so topics/replies that have this word.
My standard wordpress search works as it should but the forum search does not.
Hello all,
I need to import in mass members but from other sources. I have a csv file. I am under WordPress 4.1.1. and last version of bbPress. I thing that i’ve tried 10 plug in since since morning without success. The last i was hoping to save me is “buddypress members import”. I’ve bought it 5 hours ago and still not have any confirmation mail neither download link to test it. Please do you have any advice for me that i could import my members ? thank you very much in advance for any help. Ann
here is the list of all bbPress shortcodes
codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
you could develop/hire a developer to use something like this
<?php wp_get_current_user(); ?>
codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user
an alternative would be to use #3
codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/
Redirecting back to the default wordpress login pages is a common complaint , but there are better plugins that handle frontend authentication then the default bbPress ones , id say maybe use another plugin for frontend authentication.
other than that its not a total issue, those default WordPress login pages arent just for admins they are suppose to be used for all your users.
the default from name is wordpress , you can customize it with filters though.
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'your_email' );
function your_email( $original_email_address )
{
return 'your@email-address.com';
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_wp_mail_from_name' );
function custom_wp_mail_from_name( $original_email_from )
{
return 'Your sites name';
}
