@carl-fox

why would you want to import the newest version of a bbPress posts into WordPress when they should already show up fine, like a regular bbPress install??

i understand importing the standalone version of bbPress which is 1.0x and to import that into the newer version so that it could work better with WordPress.

are you trying covert topics to actual blog posts?? or something to that nature??

Is bbPress dead now?

no its not dead , consider it in the shadows ….like Batman haha

[Carl Fox]

I have tried EVERYTHING!

Nothing works!

All forums/topics/replies/users are imported, nothing shows up anywhere on the front end.

All forum repair tools do NOTHING.

I have tried this on single site, multisite and local site, I have rebuilt everything from scratch and tried it, I have rolled back the original forum (also WP 4.1/ bbPress 2.5.4) and reinstalled it’s backup, then tried exporting/importing again, NOTHING WORKS!

As you can guess, I’m pretty fed up.

I started trying this in October, still trying. Followed all the threads here, most of which trail off with no solutions, or end with ‘I got it to work!’, and ‘We’re glad you solved it.’ type postings – which is really infuriating.

Stephen posted months ago that an import option for bbPress 2 would be easy to implement and quickly done, no sign of it – or Stephen anymore.

Is bbPress dead now?

Seriously, most of the documentatation relates to ancient WordPress versions, and bbPress 1.

Really, I’m not kidding, have you guys read the bbPress installation guide lately?

Anyway, I know I’m ranting, but I am extremely pee’d off. I’m no novice, all I want is correct documetation. A guide that finishes maybe? How about a proper step-by-step guide on how to manually do an importation via phpMyAdmin – as none of the current tools manage to work.

Somebody, for the love of all mankind, please help!!!

@fatbat

as an alternative of going to the plugins section in bbpress.org you can just go to the WordPress plugin repository and search bbpress/bbp and you should find some bbpress plugins.

also just going through any plugins tagged bbpress should do it too.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/bbpress

[Robkk]

you could also just activate the visual editor too.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

[Robkk]

@discdemo

remove Dougs code and see if just using this will fix it. it does the same thing.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

also see if deactivating wp-edit will fix the problem , i tried it awhile ago with the visual editor code and it was kind of buggy.

[Robkk]

there are tons of plugins that add this kind of feature, some with custom login and registration forms and other features too.

this plugin does just like you want.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/dm-confirm-email/

you should also do a google search for other plugins if you want to find something different.

Hi, I’m having an issue with posting topics on my BBPress Installation and I’m wondering if anyone can help.

I’ve logged into an account with ‘Keymaster’ permissions but whenever I try and create a new topic on the installation on http://members.coachingmen.org/forum/, I get the notification: ERROR: You do not have permission to create new topics.

This is only a recent development and the only thing that’s changed is that I’ve upgraded to WordPress 4.1.

Has anyone been able to solve this issue and post new topics? Is so, how did you make it work?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Leigh

This works for me :

1) Add this to function.php in your child theme

via http://bavotasan.com/2014/add-media-upload-button-to-bbpress/

Open up your functions.php file and add the following snippet to get it working:

add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media' );
/**
 * Allow upload media in bbPress
 *
 * This function is attached to the 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args' filter hook.
 */
function bavotasan_bbpress_upload_media( $args ) {
	$args['media_buttons'] = true;

	return $args;
}

So now you have the Add Media button in the posting

2) What you need now is to fine tune the user capabilities so that not only administrators but normal users can upload media direct to the form post using the Add Media button

I am using the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced

I guess you could use a Custom user type (e.g. clone the normal participants) to experiment. Later on you could edit all your users and convert them to this Custom user type

Check the ability to:

a) Upload files
b) Unfiltered HTML

for this Custom user type

I guess it comes with risks but it has the benefits of direct Media upload to the bbPress forum

It’s not only images but other media e.g. PDF (which works nicely with thhe Google Doc Embedder Plugin

I know this is a tad bit old however I happened to stumble on this post while I was looking for a way to increase both the page to 100 posts and the parent page to show all 100 posts as well. The solution above adding to the functions page did not work for me even upon changing it to the proper code.

I did however find the same solution as jameswordpress did but there are multiple lines.
to edit so that both the parent forum and the selected forum page to show more than 50 forums.

To do this edit template.php located in:
/bbpress/includes/forums/template.php

Change line 135:
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 50 ),

to:
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 100 ),

———-

Also changing line 708 should effect the parent page (at least it did for myself):
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 50 ),

to:
'posts_per_page' => get_option( '_bbp_forums_per_page', 100 ),

You can change the value of 50 to whatever you desire.

this is a bit clunky, but should work, depending on what you want the final to look like

First forums are custom post types topic, reply or forum.

so use an exporter to get them into excel

eg

https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-2-excel/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-csv-exporter/

Then use say MS word and mailmerge to pull in the data into a format

Then save the resultant word doc as a PDF

[Robin W]

several ways you could achieve this, and depend son how your site is set up.

if you have ‘approved’ forums as private and the rest as public, the you could user an ‘approve user’ plugin to prevent users accessing before approved – several out there – just google

wordpress plugin approve user registration

or you could use :

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

to control who sees what forums

[J.Parra]

WPML Support they neglect the issues.
I think, having WordPress installed “by default” the WPML plugin, bbPress should take this into account and find a solution. Do not you believe it appropriate?

Hi all
Adding this function seems to work

Add Media Upload Button to bbPress

What I need now is to fine tune the user capabilities so that not only administrators but normal users can upload media direct to the form post

I am using the Capability Manager Enhanced plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced

when I fine tune the forum user to add the ability to Upload files, the user can add existing media to the post but not upload new media.

So close…. any ideas?

We are evaluating bbPress and I was hoping to get some help on validating if WordPress and bbPress can achieve what we are looking for. We are looking to have the following functionality:

1. One WordPress instillation that links to several bbPress forums. So when a user registers at the main WordPress website, they have instant access to all bbPress installations on our other websites via multisite.

2. I wanted to make sure when we add new bbPress forums, all of the main websites resisted users have instant access to the new forum.

3. We would also like any user that signs up for a class to have access to a special locked section of the related bbPress forum. I am not sure if bbPress has a locking or restricted section option.

4. I noticed it recognized my WordPress.org login information, but my Forum Topics Started from that site do not show up in my profile. Is this a limitation or something that may be available in the future?

5. I see the last release was June 6, 2014. IS bbPress rarely updated?

Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@msjanoah you could also use this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-simple-advert-units/

[Robkk]

you should post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

its probably possible , i suggest posting a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net/ and see if a developer can help you out.

[Robkk]

you can put this function in your child themes functions.php file

function iweb_logout_url_shortcode() {
	return wp_logout_url( home_url() );
}
add_shortcode( 'bbp-logout', 'iweb_logout_url_shortcode' );

then use [bbp-logout]

or use this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/log-out-shortcode/

[Robkk]

you could download bbPress on your computer from the WordPress repository and open the bbpress.css file in a text editor like notepad++ to see what the original file looks like.

[Robkk]

i dont think the normal WordPress reset password redirects either. (bbPress is built off of WordPress)

so i think its normal??

you could add this to your functions.php in your child to redirect to your homepage after a reset password though.

function wpse_lost_password_redirect() {
    wp_redirect( home_url() ); 
    exit;
}
add_action('password_reset', 'wpse_lost_password_redirect');

or try this for a custom page

function wpse_lost_password_redirect() {
    wp_redirect( 'http://yoursite.com/allowed-password-recovery/' ); 
    exit;
}
add_action('password_reset', 'wpse_lost_password_redirect');

@eversatile

please don’t bump old topics especially more than 2 or more years

on drafts as a feature im siding on _ck_’s old post

Drafts are for blogging systems.

I can’t imagine why a forum would need drafts.

it also mentions post preview in this topic too , if you want something iike that you can use this plugin

github.com/r-a-y/bbp-live-preview

if you really need a draft feature post a job at http://jobs.wordpress.net and see if a developer can assist you.

[Robkk]

it should work well on a self hosted site. (WordPress.org)

for better integration its recommended that you create a bbpress.php though.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

i dont know for sure why you posted a link to your wordpress.com site though??

unless you are doing a blog on a wordpress.com site and a forum using bbPress and WordPress(self hosted) site??

you should use the same theme for both if you are doing that

wordpress.org/themes/book-lite

[jrenjithk]

Hi, I have a wordpress page for my company – http://www.honeymoontourkerala.wordpress.com and would like to know how to integrate the same with bbpress? What are the advantages in doing so? As desired, my main webpage is http://www.honeymoontourskerala.com

Please suggest options/advantages.

Thanks JK
