I am using bbPress with Forum Restrict plugin. I am getting the following error when I access a single private forum out of a number of private forums that are set up. Here is the message:

Check TypeError: Unable to get property ‘getElementsByTagName’ of undefined or null reference

I am not able to access the approval page nor see the approved members. I am running WordPress 4.0 with bbPress and Forum Restrict.

Any assistance?

Hi,

I noticed two bugs occur on my bbPress forum (using last version of bbPress and WordPress), so I just wanted to report them and ask for any support to fix them.

Those are :
– “Subcribe to this forum” link not displayed in a float-right position
– “Private :” language string repeated twice

Here’s a very short video to explain that (sorry for the strange voice, I’m a bit ill) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s1Krn6cLAo

Many thanks in advance for your support, or any tip that would help me to fix that ! 🙂

Okay, so I read some more and I can see that there are multiple issues with both import / export and WordPress 4.0. I realise that this is open source software, and I’m sorry if I came across as unreasonable in the above post.

Given that I can see the content in the admin I’m sure a fix will emerge in due course.

Sorry for being a stress head about it, I was just a bit frustrated.

Hi All,

I’m having a very frustrating time here.

I’m building a new site, and I need to transfer a BBPress powered forum from the old site.

Both sites are running BBPress 2.5.4.

The new site is running WordPress 4.0, the old site 3.9.2

My first surprise was when I realised that BBPress does not list BBPress in the list of platforms in the Tools -> Forums -> Import Forums dialog.

So I spent a couple of hours reading up and then set out to move the forums across to the new site.

I started out by using WP Migrate Pro to migrate wp_users and wp_usermeta from the old forum.

Then I used the WordPress Exporter to export Forums, Topics and Replies.

Then I used the WordPress Importer to import each of these three files.

As each file imported I manually specified which user should be given authorship of the forum, topic or reply. There are a lot of forums topics and users, this takes more than hour.

This seemed to go well, and at the end of the process I could see all of the forums, topics and replies in the BBPress admin screens of the site.

I went to the forums on the front-end, and I could see all the forums listed, together with the number of topics and replies in each one, and the last poster.

When I clicked through to view a forum, I saw the following message:

“This forum contains 1 topic and 7 replies, and was last updated by xxxx (name removed) 2 months, 2 weeks ago.”

Underneath that, another message:

“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

So I Googled and Googled. I tried using the Tools -> Forums -> Repair Forums dialog, but this simply deleted all of my replies.

So I ran through the whole process again. Same result. I can see everything in the admin, but only the forums with no topics and no replies in the front end.

I’ve tried downgrading WordPress to 3.9.2, and also switching to the 2014 theme. Still no joy.

I’ve also tried disabling all of my other plugins. No dice.

I’ve also tried this:

bbpress wp4 fix

I would be really grateful if somebody out there might be able to help me with this.

I thought BBPress is a well supported WordPress based forum. Surely the ability to easily move forums between different WordPress installs is a core requirement?

Help!

I had found partial solution, but still it doesn’t support proper plural forms.

Hi all

I have a WP site with bbPress installed and bbPress Like Button (a like button plugin).

I was trying to import a phpBB forum to bbPress.

I’m having problems doing this and in the process must have decactivted bbPress.

Now when I try to log in at wp-admin or view the site I get a page saying.

‘bbPress Like Button needs bbPress installed and activated in order to work.’

This is on QA server and so I can’t get access to the files.

Is there any way to fix this – Is there any way to access the dashboard to re-activate the plugin

Just a bump for core devs:

So, I had a theme which I tuned to work with bbpress and I really like it. I changed some css and some files to make it work. Now, I switch to a new WordPress theme and as a result, bbpress revert back to its original looks and feel which is not that eye catching. So what I would like to know is is it possible to still keep the old looks with the new theme or in another way, apply the old theme to bbpress ?

Thanks, Fee. As of WordPress 4.0 the problem still exists, so I commented out the

//$private_title_format = apply_filters( 'private_title_format', __( 'Private: %s' ), $post );
//$title = sprintf( $private_title_format, $title );

in wp-includes/post-template.php to get rid of the private: in front of private tagged forums which I use.

I’m obviously missing something quite fundemental 🙂
I’ve installed bbpress (WordPress 3.9.2, bbpress 2.5.4), created some forums, and put the forum index on to one of my pages. All of this works fine.
What I don’t have is a login or register button at the top of the forum list? I have a search button but that’s it. It would be handy to have a ‘view profile’ button up there too. How do I get these buttons, is there some extra code I need to add?
Also, which file would I need to change if I wanted to alter the appearance of the forum a little – for example make the font a little larger.

My forum page is here: http://www.blueberrycovebeads.com/forum

Thanks!

yes. The default WordPress playlist. Here’s an example http://www.trapclassics.com/gucci-mane-diary-of-a-trap-god/ when i have it enabled it makes the playlist disappear.

in the same order

1. in the backend you can set a forum to private and it is only visible to logged in users
Visibility is set for each forum, go into Dashboard>forums> and when you add/edit a forum, you will see visibility options on the right hand side in the forum attributes.

2. The above will achieve that

3. you can add edit profile to your menu

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

4. There are some plugins, but my suppers ready, so no time to google them !

5. don’t allow registration
dashboard>settings>general and uncheck anyone can register

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

I want the old version of the plugin, which is separated by WordPress.

[Robin W]

No problem, set the forums to private and only registered users will see them

If you want some visibility to encourage new users use

to control access

I have been trying to research the most effective way to achieve the below with a plugin or combination of plugins. Any help would greatly appreciated.

I’m using WordPress 4.0.

• Website containing a small private forum area that is password protected (forum page displays only a user login panel until you sign in, so non-members will not see any forum content at all).
• Once logged in the user can both view and post in the forum.
• Users can be created manually from the back end of the site but would preferably get some kind of front end user profile rather than having access to the WordPress Admin bar.
• Users can include attachments (.pdf or .doc/.docx) in posts for comment
• No front end registration as the forum will only be open to a select few

[Robin W]

you can change permalinks within wordpress

Dashboard>settings>permalinks

changing to postname is the popular option

Hello everyone,
I have a WordPress 4 / bbpress 2.5.4 installation.
I have a problem with topics and replies created on frontend: they don’t appear on the website.
I have 4 topics on a forum, and the page says “this forum has 4 topics”, but then it shows me only the one that I’ve created on backend.
Even in the backend when I go to “topics” it says 4 topics but shows me just 1.
Can someone help me please?
