Thanks. It was Paid Memberships Pro 1.7.11 causing this.

I run bbpress 2.54 on wordpress 3.9.1. After activating bbpress I noticed that gallerys inside my blog articles gallery pictures don’t show up anymore. Instead of the pictures I only see a blank line. You can see this here…

http://linuxundich.de/allgemein/flixtor-popcorn-time-alternative-android-chromecast/

As soon as I deactivate bbpress the gallerys are back again. Is there a generell problem with gallery plugins and bbpress? Is there a quick way to fix this?

Thanks for your help!

yes there’s lots to learn, my css is probably at your php level !

I found a way to have a search box that is persistent on every level of the bbPress forums. Now I have to get rid of the second search box that is at the top of the forums. I can’t find where that is in the code to remove it.

You could try just turning off the forum search

dashboard>settings>forums and look for allow forum wide search

Is there anyone that comes around regularly that would either donate the time for these couple of tweaks or let me pay them over time?

you can put an ad on wordpress jobs

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

just post it as a project and detail what you want

But I’d play with the css first, as I think much of what you want is stylable.

[Robin W]

no problem, using the wordpress editor will not work, you’ll need to use ftp or cpanel

see the following

Functions files and child themes – explained !

on FTP and notepad++ which will get you the tools.

then you want to
ftp the file to your pc
open it using notepad++
then save it to your pc as the new filename
the edit it for the sidebar
then save it on your pc
the ftp the file back to your host

lots to learn, but you’ll find this useful for future as you customise you site

I haven’t used any of those above plugins except BuddyPress of course so I really can’t help you there except to say that ‘bbPress Roles’ are separate to ‘WordPress Roles’ and most likely the ‘Student’ role you refer to above (and the plugins) are all manipulating WordPress’ roles for you and NOT bbPress roles.

[Stephen Edgar]

I have not tried these recently though I still believe both work, that is of course if you want some Ajax topcs bits also 😉

bbPress – Ajax Replies and bbPress – Ajax Topics

[pazis]

After upgrading to bbPress 2.5.4, none of my topic contents are being showed anymore! The topic page loads and everything is visible but the topic content and replies! I use WordPress 3.9.1 and here are the list of my active plugins:

I tried disabling and enabling bbpress plugin and resubmitting settings, but none fixed the issue. I don’t know how to fix it!

[Stephen Edgar]

Sorry, it’s pretty hard to tell exactly what you mean 🙁

Could you post some screenshots? That would help with pointers to the issue 🙂

Also you have a few permalinks ending in -2
e.g. http://mutriku-gaming.com/wordpress/forums/forum/juegos-2/

Make sure you do not have any slug conflicts, you might have some pages or forums in the ‘trash’ that you if you empty rhe trash you should again be able to use the link without the -2

e.g. http://mutriku-gaming.com/wordpress/forums/forum/juegos

Forum import – The documentation states that stickies will not be imported, however I after doing the import I have around 20 ‘super-stickies’ which, looking at the old forum, are a mixture of announcements and stickies. I’d rather these weren’t converted to anything, and as far as I’m aware they shouldn’t be (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2126)

The above ticket you reference was the ‘issue’ being created to track the changes and progress of implementing this feature.

In comment 12 that is where the ticket was to updated to ‘fixed’ and ‘closed’ via changeset r5170. Trac can be a little daunting at first trying to understand everything that goes on in a ticket 😉

With only your ~20 ‘stcikies’ it shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes to ‘unstick’ the ones you do not want after your import has finished and the repair tools run.

I have updated the docs to reflect that also https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/phpbb/

Stickies – is there a way to ignore stickies during the import? They don’t appear to have come through correctly so it would be nice to simply ignore them (as was previously the case).

How so, could you explaing that a little more please? Do the topics ‘look right’ and are just not ‘stuck’ or something else going on?

User import – During the import, I (the main WordPress admin user) seem to have had quite a lot of forums, topics and replies linked to my user. I wasn’t a user on the previous phpBB forum at all so I’m not sure why I’ve adopted these posts. Or any posts for that matter.

If there is a username match the importer will try to match the posts being imported with any current WordPress user, thus if phpBB has a user named ‘admin’ and you use the default the default WordPress username ‘admin’ that will be the cause.

The best work around for this would be to rename the phpBB username in the database bvefore importing.

Users – looking at the phpbb data, the amount of imported users seemed to match up, but I wonder if I’ve been assigned posts that were previously changed to the ‘Anonymous User’ that phpBB has at user ID 0… the amount of posts don’t seem to match up with that theory but a ‘majority’ of the posts that have been assigned to me seem to match the logic to an extent (ie, posts that have been moved into a ‘moderators only’ forum for further discussion about actions to be taken).

You should notice that you now actually have a WordPress username ‘Anonymous’, so any ‘Anonymous’ posts should be attributed to that user.

Your ‘moderators only’ forum after import you should change the bbPress forum permission to ‘hidden’ and that will make that forum the equiv bbPress ‘moderators only’ forum.

Repair tools – All the repair tasks seem to work ok, except for two:
– Recalculate the position of each reply
– Remap existing users to default forum roles
These two tasks end up white-screening with no status messages at all.

What size is the phpBB database your importing? (Approx. Forums, Topics, Posts & Users please 🙂 )

User Login Conversion – User logins are converted correctly when using the standard wordpress login screen but now when using my custom frontend ajax login – does anyone know if there’s a way to get that to work? A seperate topic has been started about that here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-login-authentication-migrated-phpbb-users/

I’ve pretty much still got the same opinion as I wrote last night here.

User Login – that’s correct – I’m just using the wp-signon method so I guess I’ll need to add some kind of do_action() call or something to trigger the conversion? If you can point me in the right direction, that would be great 🙂

There is nothing to point you to sorry, when a user logs in for the first time after the import their legacy salt and hash password get’s converted to the native WordPress password format. Without knowing each legacy password their is no way to do this programmatically.

bbPress’ login forms actually are hooked into the WordPress login forms, so theoretically it shouldn’t be too difficult for either the plugin you are using to add support for bbPress or possibly look for another similar plugin that already supports bbPress.

Passwords and all their associated algorithms are hard and this an area where I just manage to skate by with the basics, actually doing any of what I mentioned in the previous paragraph is way beyond my skill level and pay grade 😉

sorry the web is http://mutriku-gaming.com/wordpress

Hi! I have a little problem, my page is http://mutriku-gaming.com/wordpress/forums/ if you enter you will see that name of forums is not a “Foros”(Forums in spanish) is a title of the blog post.

I have installed a forum-loop.php but I don´t think that’s it.

Thanks

[Robin W]

probably a theme or plugin problem

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, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

[Robin W]

wordpress is post software and has posts and comments

bbpress is forum software, so it has forums, topics and replies

so people will reply to topics, not comment on them !

so I would

1. deactivate buddypress
2. switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve and see if people can now reply to topics, you are only doing this to see if your theme has an issue with replies.
3. let us know whether you are allowing anonymous posting, or whether you onlt want topics/replies from registered users?

Also, how do I just let people see the topics and not the forum?

umm, not sure what you mean, either you have a forum or your have posts and comments, you can’t have forum topics with post comments 🙂

[Robin W]

@trymedo – ok try this version, it should determine if it is the resultant list being queried, or the process of getting to the list that is causing issues. Basically it does your suggested post__not_in.

private groups tom test

This is only for Tom, and is just a testing version

latest live version is here

Personally I hate the toolbar – it should only be there for admins !

I switch it off and use a menu item

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

Hi,

After reading the importer
I’ve recently migrated my phpBB forum to bbPress, but I have noted a few issues with the import/repair process. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what’s going wrong with any/all of these:

Forum import – The documentation states that stickies will not be imported, however I after doing the import I have around 20 ‘super-stickies’ which, looking at the old forum, are a mixture of announcements and stickies. I’d rather these weren’t converted to anything, and as far as I’m aware they shouldn’t be (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2126)

Any advice on any of these steps would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I’m very new to both WordPress and bbPress, so my apologies if this is a very easy problem to resolve!

Whilst poking about trying figure stuff out in the bbpress/includes/admin/functions.php, I received the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/65/5240765/html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/functions.php on line 303

I’ve checked through the code to try and find the ‘}’ but couldn’t spot it (there is no line 303 – it only goes up to 294), and tried to fix it by replacing the wrong code with the original code but it still gives the same error. I’m not entirely sure what I’ve done even after extensive google/forum searches, so I’ve copied the code into paste bin in case anyone can help me out.

http://pastebin.com/X9FsvsR1

The website doesn’t appear to be broken from the front end in any way, it’s just the back end that’s messed up.

I’m using WordPress vers 3.9.1 and bbPress vers 2.5.4, the theme is BigFeature.

Thanks in advance!

[K-Path]

WordPress 3.9.1
TwentyTen with some CSS modification
bbPress 2.5.4

This what my bbPress looks like now
http://hcrd.foundation/journal/forums/

hcrd bbPress screen capture
This is close to what I want my bbPress installation to look like I didn’t pull the line spaces together in the image.
http://hcrd.foundation/screen-cap.journal-forum.png

I may be completely wrong and these settings may all be controlled by the TwentyTen theme and WordPress. In either case I’ll do the work if somebody can just point me to the right information so I can learn.

bbPress Wishlist

Make the forum’s Search window persistent, available from within all forums.

Move the Forum Title and the Search Window so they are parallel and within 20 pixels or less of main menu (white on black menu).

Make the Categories’ and Forums’ names BOLD and make them 1.00 line or less apart from their descriptions which should NOT be bold.

Instead of a specific pixel width can the area of the post to the BBS be calibrated in percent or at least be 640px or even better 800px width?

Finally, why are my category and forum names duplicated?

[Stephen Edgar]

They are separate taxonomies in the WordPress database, with some custom code and templates I am quite sure you could do this.

Probably a good starting point would be looking at ‘Multiple Taxonomies’ here https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters

[Stephen Edgar]

Hmmm… There ‘might’ be something else at play here, I had a weird issue myself late last week that I am still trying to determine what it actually is with the WordPress WXR Export/Import, I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with the imported ID’s not matching the post_parent ID.

I’ll dig around more on this later in the week when I finish up the bbPress 2.x importer (it’s 75% complete), so watch out for any patches added to this bbPress ticket #2605

[celtichero]

I started a similar topic on wordpress.org – but I wasn’t sure where the best place would be (here I suppose!)

I’ve done some Googling here, and I’ve found a few topics that apparantly fix this, but…I’m not seeing the same info in my own site (the database info that theyre referring to isnt there..) I’m sure someone will point me to those older posts 😛

So I want to start with a fresh question – I want to start TOTALLY fresh with BBPRess, so I deleted the forums and whatnot and then uninstalled BBPress…later I reinstalled it but on the main dashboard I see this in one of the little info boxes on the right hand side: “Right now in Forums” and then it shows a few forums and topics, etc, that don’t exist…I want to remove those. Is there any way to do that?

I tried looking in the database through PHPMyAdmin and I don’t see anything named “bb_” to delete, so what’s the next step? :/

Thanks SO much in advance.

I’m using the latest version of WP and BBPress, btw and the twenty fourteen theme, if any of that helps.

[yoshimitsu1234]

My bbpress forum tags are separate from normal WordPress post tags.
Is these any way i could combine both so that if i add a tag for example “health” in normal WordPress post it would also be seen as tags in forums. If a user clicks on a tag he gets results from both normal WordPress posts and forum posts as well.

[sacredandsequential]

Ok, I did as you suggested, and the WordPress export/import functions seemed to run pretty well. In the dashboard, it now claims I have all my topics and replies.

…Yet, when I got to the forum page itself, it says, “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” This, despite the fact that it lists the number of topics and replies at the top. How can I get them recognized/visible?

See http://www.sacredandsequential.org/?p=705

[Robin W]

ok, funnily enough there is no ‘importer’ for bbpress 2.x – it is in plan, but not yet written

You can use
on the old site
tools>export and select forums topics and replies
on the new site
tools>import (and select wordpress if needed)

But this is not perfect – if you don’t have the users matching between sites, then this will/can/may (not sure which) fail.

How have you set users up on the new site?

[PinkishHue]

Have you tried switching to the WordPress default theme (or another basic theme)? This will tell you if it’s a theme problem or something else.

It seems like it may be a CSS issue.
