Many spam filters strip messages that do not come from the correct address. So if your site is mysite.com and your email address in wordpress settings>general is fred@gmail.com then it is likely that messages will be dumped in transit. You need to set up email to come from your site eg fred@mysite.com, your hosting provider can help if needed.

Stephen, I too am getting errors while trying to import my phpbb forum into bbpress. I updated phpbb this morning to most recent version, no mods (v. 3.1.2). I just installed bbpress today in my WordPress site.

When I use the import tab under Tools > Forums, I enter my info, and here’s what I get:

*******************
WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘forums.forum_topics’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(forums.forum_id USING “utf8”) AS forum_id,convert(forums.parent_id USING “utf8”) AS parent_id,convert(forums.forum_topics USING “utf8”) AS forum_topics,convert(forums.forum_posts USING “utf8”) AS forum_posts,convert(forums.forum_topics_real USING “utf8”) AS forum_topics_real,convert(forums.forum_name USING “utf8”) AS forum_name,convert(forums.forum_desc USING “utf8”) AS forum_desc,convert(forums.left_id USING “utf8”) AS left_id,convert(forums.forum_type USING “utf8”) AS forum_type,convert(forums.forum_status USING “utf8”) AS forum_status FROM phpbb_forums AS forums LIMIT 0, 100

Please help, thanks!

sorry this support forum is manned by volunteers so we do this in our spare time and for free.

I presume you got this code from

http://www.digitspeak.com/blogging/wordpress/remove-bbpress-forum-profile-url-link/

when you say

the avatar reappears which i managed to get rid of – is there another workaround?

can you explain a bit more about

i managed to get rid of

what did you do?

It looks like my issue with the BCCs is being caused by the wpMandrill plugin I use to send emails through the Mandrill service

The Mandrill API previously couldn’t deal with BCC emails, it has been updated but it’s WP plugin hasn’t.
I tried this code offered by a user but it ended up sending two emails. One with no BCCs showing and one with the same BCCs showing problem. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-contribute-fixed-bcc

Im new to this stuff so try not to lose me but Im running wordpress 4.1 with the sparkling theme and bbpress 2.5.4. My site is selfyelp.net. The registration emails and lost password emails are going through fine with gmail but with aol and hotmail I get nothing. My site and wordpress is hosted through godaddy so I guess I need to know what or where the problem is. Is it a bug or is it godaddy or is it the email providers? How can I fix it and is there any workaround? And yes I have checked the spam folders. Thanks (O and every other aspect of email is working fine through the site -just this prob)

Hello,

Our revision log for bbpress is turned on, but when I edit a subject in bbpress and add a reason for the modification, it does not show up in the log. It just says the subject was edited X amount of time ago by… and it stops there. So it doesn’t say by who or the reason why.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Wordpress 4.1
bbpress 2.5.4

Thanks!

The remove filter above I mentioned is not working for me, I even tried changing the priority 1 to 255.

The remove must have the same priority – see

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_filter

[Robin W]

Not quite sure how this would be achieved.

In essence you either create a post or you create a topic.

A post is displayed using your theme’s layout, a forum topic using bbpress’s templates, so essentially they are incompatible unless you add extensive coding to your theme to recognise and display.

If it is not possible can you tell me how to use default taxonomy (categories) with forum? I want to store some topics in these default WordPress category.

Sorry I don’t understand this question – please explain further

[Rameshpardhi]

Wordpress Version: 4.1
Latest bbpress version

If it is not possible can you tell me how to use default taxonomy (categories) with forum? I want to store some topics in these default WordPress category.

Hi,

When I receive an email notification, if I’m logged in and I click the link it takes me directly to the thread/post in question.

However if I’m not logged in I simply get:

Sorry, the page your requested could not be found, or no longer exists.

Running WordPress 4.1 and bbpress 2.5.4

I have tested with the bundled themes and the issue persists.

hi @shanebp,

Hi,

I’m having an issue with bb slides. On the desktop and at the back end it’s linking correctly but on mobile it links to brick-work.org/bb-slides/linkaddress. It only does this for the first slide, not the others which links correctly.

My wordpress version is 4.1, my bbpress version is 2.5.4 and my website is http://www.brick-work.org

Thanks in advance for any help!

@kmal91 – sorry but unless you find someone who has spent time with wishlist, I think you will struggle to get help.

For me to fix I’d need to spend at least 1/2 day installing and understanding wishlist.

But two thoughts

1. As a quick Q – if most/many of your forums are restricted, why do you need a link to the forum archive?

2. If you took bbpress out of wishlist, you could probably achieve the forum restriction using

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

You’d need to set up somne groups to mirror wishlist, but it might be an effective solution.

Something else is wrong with your wordpress, it shows your name in the admin bar and menu items.

I see a menu with one link only called “sample page”, so the top menu is showing.

In your menu’s edit screen, on the list with pages etc on the left side of the screen, does it say “Forums”, should be under “pages” and “posts”

Instead of making your own link you should select the forums here and click “add to menu” if you want them in your menu

If there is no “forums” option then there is something very wrong with your install or theme.

[JoeInternet]

Hmm i am lrb I have no idea why it is doing that and thinking you are logged on.

If i go to View Forum from the create part it just takes me to the main page of wordpress and not to the forum i clicked on.

Ok I ave my WordPress 4.1 running Twenty Fourteen theme and I just downloaded bbpress.

My problem is that i cannot get the link to the forums to display. I never had this problem with simple press.

Anyway I even tried using the exact slug address and it just goes right back to my blogs fromt page and never gets to the forum. I am at a loss here I think what it told me was the address should be http://linksareblue.com/forums/forum/

That again just leads me back to the main blog page.

I am at a total loss here so any help would be appreciated.

Oh yeah i created 4 new forums there and cannot get any of them to display and yes i did publish them not just preview — however they dont even come up under preview.

Any help would be appreciated. I have 4 more sites to put up the same way and i am at a standstill until i get this all figured out.

Hello,

I’m using Gonzo theme with wordpress 4.1 and bbpress 2.5.4

Problem is;

Everything works fine except the frontend side. It is not possible to login with either owner account or a participator account, noone can create a new topic.

I can reply to opened topics, do anything on backend side however creating new topics is my problem.

I do not use any plugins related with roles or bbpress.

I’ve tried eliminating every plugin but it’s not related with it.

Do you have any suggestions for a solution?

Thank you

You may have better luck starting your own thread on this one. I had a similar problem, in that users see notifications (the little icon on the wordpress nav bar) but never get an email. I will mention that if you look closely at the ticket referenced and if you do have access to the code yourself you can find the line to examine in bbpress\includes\common\functions.php -> Line 1066 and roughly 1106. My smtp provider was not liking the noreply email address that was being constructed as the sender. I changed the lines I mention to a valid email address and everything started to work. Also worth mentioning, I am using WP Mail SMTP.

I have been dealing with the same problem. No user, not even keymaster, can edit their own posts. I tried what you suggested, but still not working. What version of WordPress and bbPress are you using?
Thanks,

hey guys,

I have an external Frontpage, which is located under domain.at
My Blog is located under the domain.at/blog.
Now I want that the bbpress forum is located under domain.at/forum instead of domain.at/blog/…

What is the best way to reach this goal? Is it necessary to do this with .htaccess or is there an easier way?

I think it might be also possible to make the frontpage a custom page template in wordpress, and create a page post type based on it. Then I could make domain.at the site-root with my custom frontpage and user /blog and /forum.

Is there an other / better way?

Thanks!

bbpress 2.5.4 with WordPress 4.1

For a non-member of my web site and thus not logged in, they are able to see search results from bbPress from topics that are in forums marked as Private.

To be clear, I have all but one of my forums set as Private. The other one is set to Hidden. When I go to the forum front page I see a message “Oh bother! No forums were found here!”. Using the search bar above the forum (presumably default search) I am able to return results from content that is in the Private groups. The Hidden content is not returned. To make matters worse, not only are the topics from the Private forums returned in the search results, but the actual topic content is returned as well, so it is completely public.

I’ve installed the latest version of bbpress and WordPress, and am attempting to migrate my forum from XenForo using the built in migration tool. I am receiving the following:
No reply_to parents to convert
No replies to convert
No tags to convert
No super stickies to stick
No stickies to stick
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear
No users to convert
I’ve used my config.php file from XenForo to obtain the host, username, password, and dbname. I also used the prefix ‘xf_’.

Any ideas?
