Hello Everyone,
I am using bbpress latest version with wordpress3.9.2. Everything is working fine on localhost. but when i uploaded the website on my development server. The forum page is fine but when i click on created forum, it gives 500 internal server error.
Please help to get rid of this.
Thank You.
[mod edit – moved to a new heading as the old subject was for version 1 of bbpress]
I am wondering if you guys can help me out. I am total newbie when it comes to bbpress/wordpress and have run into an issue. I created a WordPress theme usig Beuno. I installed bbpress on top of that so that I could have a forum for discussion. The problem is that it looks terrible. Please check it out and tell me what i can do to fix this problem? Any and all help would be super appreciated.

WordPress 4.0
bbPress 2.5.4-5380.
I have forum set up, I can moderate it through dashboard(insert new forums), but on forum page the are not clickable items (username, password or any other link for that mater). Please help!
I just installed bbpress (version 2.5.4) on my website (WordPress version 4) http://www.radio.transitmg.com/forums/ but it doesn’t work like it seems here.
I try to start new topics but don’t show up
Can you guys can help?
Can you explain a bit more about what you want?
Roles have capabilities, and are hieracrchical, so having two bbpress roles would be kinda pointless
If you just want a second name here, then you could use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-profile-information/
forums is a virtual page – ie it doesn’t exist (not that pages really exist anyway!), and is not a ‘post ‘ in the wordpress sense of post
Rather than use the forums widget, why not just use a text widget, just put this in the content

Hi,
sorry I have had a few wines now but very sure its been taken down since I grabbed it form the usual place:
I have WordPress on the bleeding edge setup for the alpha’s.. it seems to update every few hours.
Yes I know it shouldn’t be used on a truly live setup but have a new domain to use for it if I decide I like the combo as it’s a bit different to my normal choice of IPB and I have had quite a lot of fun fending off bots and other attacks. While at the same time promoting some future events which will make friends some money and get me free entry, while learning a new script at the same time.
I can easily rebuild it in an hour or so if it goes wrong and do the obvious backups.
I was just curious TBH. When I was younger I used to play around defacing such sites for jokes but a lot older now and don’t do such things. I have an odd obsession with having things before I should and helping fix/report if and when I can.
Thanks for the zipped link. And yes please do point me to the docs. I rarely use localhost though unless installing things that act up with newer PHP/MySQL versions, just a bit of fun really. I’m getting a lot of bot attacks but I’m quite cheeky when posting on other blogs to temp them TBH. I always considered WP a weak script but it’s improved a lot since maybe v2.x.x when I last tried it. I just like PHP and building things. Not so great with GFX.
Thanks again for the zip. If you comment tomorrow when I’m not drunk I will post the 2.2-a zip I have if you have not found it already. If the site continues to attract international traffic I will use stable versions on the new domain and protect it properly.
Just testing, google and other search engines seem to love the script after few mods. Though I have done quite a bit of SEO work mainly to try and stress it ha ha 🙂
I started with 4.0-beta-1 I think then just continued to see what I could make/break/fix 🙂
The site is here if you want a look and seems to be running quit well, WordFence is a bit buggy I find though while auto updates are on, causing cache issues at times but nothing that can’t be fixed. Nice to meet you.
Regards,
ANTi-CAP
Where are you downloading BuddyPress 2.2 Alpha from? bbPress and BuddyPress share (mostly) the same setup for development.
If it is from https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/developers/ via the Development Version .zip link https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.zip then bbPress is the same structure via https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/developers/ and the Development Version .zip link https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress.zip
To get the “full” bleeding edge alpha’s requires quite a bit more setup at your end as bbPress and BuddyPress have recently switched to using a new build process and these are not designed to be run on a live website, only for local development on your local computer, I can point you to the docs for this if that is what you are after though 🙂
Awesome topic tags btw 😉
@bepyland If you set the bbPress import rows to 50,000 that would be one single query, it would not work though unless you had one amazing MySQL installation. 😉
What the “rows” value means is how many topics or replies for each single query should be imported at a time, the default is 100, so when the importer is running each single query will import 100 topics at a time.
WordPress itself, and then bbPress also make queries along the way so just counting only bbPress import is not the only calculation needed.
Your best bet is to create a test site to test the import before migrating this to your “live” site:
https://codex.bbpress.org/creating-a-test-site/
i think its really like making a plugin for wordress except you use bbpress’s hooks
but i havent gone in too deep in knowing how to create a plugin.
this plugin helps on finding all of bbpress’s hooks
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-visual-hooks/
and im sure information in documentation will help.
Codex
heres some information that i found real quick that i think could help.

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 4
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 5
if you need anymore help create a new topic titled “Need Help on bbpress plugin development”
and maybe robin or stephen can help from there.
robin already has tons of plugins made for bbpress
and stephen is one of the core developers
Patience please ! This forum is monitored by volunteers who give there time for free, and have day jobs and families 🙂

well when i look at mycred i see its pretty powerful .
it has a points system and also badges http://mycred.me/add-ons/badges/
heres a link of everthing thats built in
Add-ons
wp acheivements also has built in compatibility with mycred , bbpress, userpro , wordpress, woocommerce, and cubepoints
Their is also another i think completely free plugin called achievements for wordpress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/achievements/
this also has built in compatibilty with bbpress , and i think the plugin developer also is a part of team of developers of buddypress maybe bbpress too but not sure.
I would test out all the free achievement plugins first on a local development server like wamp for windows , or mamp for macintosh and see what suits your needs.
I have “WordPress”, forum “bbPress”, plugin “UserPro” … And I want to give points, rewards for users of my website, when they share articles, make comments, create forum topic, etc and has appears in his profile for everybody to see (points and medals).
So what should I use ?
Plugin mycred? Plugin WPAchievements codecanyon? or what?
Help me please.
Hi,
I have been working with WordPress 4.1a BuddyPress 2.2b and would like to try them with bbPress 2.6 and help if possible, just you have in in that dir and the amount of strain trying to right click right click to get all the bare files, can you just zip it for me please??
Sorry I got half way and had to give in.
WordPress 3.9.2 and the problem is solved.
Hi all,
I have a WordPress 4 / bbpress plugin installation.
I’d like to the able to insert a table into posts on the forum (like this one here).
Stuff I found mostly concerns either user authentication / MySQL (not what I’m after), or it doesn’t work (using the [table]…[/table] tags).
Could anybody please point me in the right direction, or tell me how to do this?
thanks!
the ip address is only visible to keymasters and i think moderators too.
stars and medals sounds like an achivement plugin. you can search the wordpress.org plugin repository for one that is compatible with bbpress.
I am using WordPress 4.0 and bbPress 2.5.4. My site is http://tomscustomwoodcraft.com using the Aspen Pro theme. I am also using the bbPress WP Tweaks plugin. I have followed the documentation to setup the Forums and that’s working, but when I try to use the sidebar for registration and login nothing shows up. The documentation says to go to the wp-content directory to check the page template(s). I know nothing about coding and I have no idea how to get to wp-content directory. Please help!!
Thank you very much Robkk, so then I must assume there is no plugin with these kind of functionalities? I have set moderator privileges to all my forum moderators with certain capabilities (like edit forums, delete forums, etc…) and do not want them to enter the wordpress admin area to ban unwanted users. That’s why I’m searching for a bbpress plugin in order to add these ban capabilities to my moderators only on the bbpress side.
Cheers.
well moderators can look at forums in the front end and then use the admin links to either sticky the topic , close the topic, spam the topic etc.
banning users permanently would require a different plugin to ban the ip address of the user ,search some security plugins in the wordpress.org plugin repository have this feature
banning users temporarily you can just go to users>all users search for the person your trying to ban for a short while then change their forum role to blocked. then when the temporary ban is done you can just switch back.
1. to get a full-width forums, you need to create a bbpress.php more information in this link
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
after you create a bbpress.php from your page.php just delete the sidebar code that should say like
<?php get_sidebar in the template.
2. You can follow this tutorial on this website to replace the voice count with a views count.
Adding Topics View Counter in BBPress
there are other ways to display views in bbpress also like by using this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-simple-view-counts/
3. Are you talking about the layout of the reply author area on ip board where it shows an image based on user role and the total post count of the user??
images based on forum role i cant find a solution just yet , might post solution later . Its most likey just going to include alot of conditionals based on forum role.
total post count for users is easy, you can easily just use robins plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/
’d be grateful for some help.
I’ve recently set-up a wordpress site using version 4.0. The theme is twenty eleven (I’ve tried other themes as well). So far, I’ve haven’t added any content or plugins.
The only thing I’ve tried to add is bbpress (Version: 2.5.4).
After adding this plugin I get a “Fatal error: Out of memory”. I’ve contacted my hosting company and they’ve increased the memory limit to 256M by adding define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’); in wp-config.php. I’ve uninstalled and re-installed bbpress but still get the out of memory error.
I’d be grateful for any help in resolving this problem.
Many thanks,
Darren
i liked https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/ before i went to another solution
im not sure if it has integration with bbpress or not though.
and this requires an account to their website.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/loginradius-for-wordpress has bad support and i couldnt get the plugin to work well when i tried it.
you can also find some paid social login plugins in codecanyon , im for sure there is one that offers social login and has compatibility with bbpress. I think it cost like 28 dollars or something close to that.
for registration add a captcha plugin either of these examples should be fine.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-recaptcha/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-math-captcha/
to help fight spam some security plugins help , some offer some kind of firewall rules to block bots, and also a honey pot for a sites registration form.
