Hi, I recently installed bbPress and BuddyPress to create a forum. Everything is looking great so far except the /forums page. It is not displaying correctly. I am using the Interface Theme (free WordPress theme) which supports both bbPress and BuddyPress. You can see the problem below:

http://www.meowmethod.com/forums

The forum topics ARE working, so my problem is only with the forums page.

http://www.meowmethod.com/forums/forum/test-forum/

Troubleshooting:
*** The problem goes away when I activated the 2014 WordPress Theme, but I don’t want to use that one. So I am inclined to believe that it might be a theme problem. ***
I don’t have a forums wordpress page created (problem occurs with one created). The problem persists with BuddyPress deactivated.

I would appreciate any opinions and advice !!
Thanks in advance 🙂

I am using WordPress Version 3.9.1
and the latest version of bbPress (installed today).

hello

i have a wordpress site with bbpress installed. i have 3 subforums in bbpress. on the homepage of my wordpress site, i would like to list out those 3 forums with the lastest 5 posts from each.

please take a look at this image:

the styling doesn’t have to look like the attached as long as i can list out the individual subforums and 5 of its most recent posts.

i have setup 3 columns with ability to put shortcodes.

i tried using some of the shortcodes provided by bbpress with no luck.

SOS please!!! i’m running out of options…lol

thanks in advance,

chris

Hi,

@netweb many thanks for the info:

If you use WordPress 4.0.x (Any alpha or beta of the next version of WordPress) bbPress will not work, we are currently investigating this.

Please post when this issue has been resolved.

no joy to-date – on test local installs – but no pain either!

WordPress 3.9.1
BP 2.0.1

Sorry, but it’s a dev site created by the client so I can’t publish the url.
It’s on a shared account at Bluehost.

The ‘from’ on received emails is [account name]@box557.bluehost.com

The site_url and home_url are the same and use ‘www’.

I can test bbpress patches.

hi,
i’m working with the wordpress 3.9.1 site network installation.
i have installed the bbpress plugin version 2.5.4 and added the Hebrew mo and po files from wordpress.org and changed their name to bbpress-he_il.mo and bbpress-he_il.po.
also checked that the wp-config has the define (‘WPLANG’, ‘he_il’); and checked that the language in the backend for the Hebrew site is set up to Hebrew.
I’m working with twentyten child theme but even if i change it to twentyten original theme the forum is still showing up in English.
i have tried everything and can’t find a solution.
anybody has any suggestions?

[Robin W]

hmm….

Ok, if I give you a new file, are you able to FTP it to a location within wordpress – ie do you know how to ftp !

[Morgensonne]

Thank you, Robin, for your feedback!!

I did that first. Surely 3 times. It remains as it is: The title is missing (reply to …………) and the permalink does not take the title, but the ID. Probably because there is no title! The field is empty.

I have just tested the following:

1) new WordPress posts: permalink is as it should be.
2) new post in the bbpress forum written in the admin area: permalink is as it should be.
3) new post in bbpress forum written in the forum area: permalink is as it should be.
4) reply to topic written in the forum area: permalink is incorrect (ID) and title is missing (field is empty)

The problem therefore only occurs when replies are written in the forum area!!

I’m getting quite desperate. I have no idea what I should do. 🙁
In the older forum replies all is correct and now suddenly it no longer works.

One more thing, please:
How does the option works in the bbpress-admin:”Create new answer”?
I can not set anywhere, on which post I want to write a reply…. (?)

Thanks for the help!

In fact, it is not the only trouble I have with bbPress search.

I’ve just found another one this afternoon choosing which widgets I should display in forum pages (forum index, topics, reply…):
– I’ve installed the plugin “Display Widget” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-widgets/).
– For widgets I want (or want not) to display on forum pages, I checked all Display Widget options related to forums in widgets areas.
–> It works perfectly everywhere, except on the bbpress result pages, I mean in pages where the result list is displayed after using the bbPress search functionality.

Then I wonder that the issue I told you about has really something to do with Private Groups.
Maybe you just can’t do anything for me…

Likely broke with 2.5.4 and our change to BCC headers:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2618

[shanebp]

bbpress 2.5.4
buddypress 2.0.1
WordPress 3.9.1

Logged in members are not getting reply email notifications.
Group forums are not being used.

Buddypress Activity mentions emails are being sent.
I can use wp_mail to send mails.

So it’s just bbpress that isn’t generating emails… any suggestions?

Hi Guys

A conflict exists with bbPress and the WooSidebars plugin –

The conflict causes the whole forum to return a 503 Error. After much digging found the problem comes from this bbPress function

bbp_get_topic_title() function

and is fixed by changing

$title = get_the_title( $topic_id )

to

$topic = get_post( $topic_id );
$title = $topic->post_title;

Hope you can add that fix to your next version update – Thank you – Steve

[Morgensonne]

Hi,

today I have made the update to version 2.54. Now it works no longer correctly with permalinks (instead of the topic-title, now the ID will be used). The settings in WordPress are unchanged: title in the permalink. In wordpress-posts the permalinks works well as always. The problem is only in bbpress.

And one more thing:
Until the update it was always automatically included as the reply-title:
“Reply to: … (post title) …”.

Now, the field for the title in a reply to a post is always empty!
What’s going on? Until yesterday (before the update) everything was ok.
Please, give me your help.

Thank you very much says
Morgensonne

What i mean is i am using bbpress on my wordpress site. It has forum and whenever someone post any thing some points are awarded to him using mcreed point system. But i dont want it to be over used.

So i want to impose restriction like :-

After posting 10 posts in a day the 11th post will not get any points

Or

A user can only post 10 post no more than that.

I will prefer the first one more!
Is there any way to do any of this? Pleas reply

[Stephen Edgar]

There is nothing you need to remove manually, if you go to Tools -> Forums -> Reset Forums all bbPress data will be deleted from the database.

If you are changing the user ID directly in the database and ‘do it wrong’ you are most certainly going to have permission and capability issues with the user ID.

You should create a new user, assign them the WordPress ‘Administrator’, then assign the bbPress role ‘Keymaster’. Logout of your current admin account and test your new admin account. If everything works and you have transferred any posts, pages, forums, topics, replies etc to the new user then go ahead and delete the old account once you have confirmed ‘all the things’.

Note: Your posts were being picked up as spam by Akismet for some reason that is why they didn’t show up.

I want the users to get email alerts every time their forum role changes.

Namely, I want to notify users only if their role has changed to Participant.

I found a way to do this with standard WordPress roles, but it doesn’t work with bbPress roles.

http://clicknathan.com/web-design/notify-a-wordpress-user-when-their-role-has-been-changed-to-a-specific-role/

I tried changing if ($new_role == 'contributor') to if ($new_role == 'participant') and even to this if ($new_role == 'bbp_participant') – nothing worked.

WordPress version: 3.8.2
bbPress version: 2.5.3

[Stephen Edgar]

Not unless your two sites are a single WordPress Multisite install.

[Robin W]

I can only suggest you hire someone to get rid of the spam and upgrade you

[Robin W]

There are all sorts of backdoors that a ‘page/post’ restricting plugin doesn’t cover for bbpress

For instance :

search is usually forum wide
http://www.mysite.com/topics
http://www.mysite.com/replies
looking at topics/replies created in a user profile
recent topics widget
recent replies widget

all usually just bypass a plugin written for pages.

which is why I wrote the private groups plugin

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

There is no reason why it shouldn’t work alongside your members with members protecting your pages & posts, and private groups protecting your forums.

BUT you do have to set users up to see restricted forums, and this is manual. It is quick to do (just a setting within the user settings), but if you have an automated joining process, then you would need to add a manual step (or write some code!)

[Robin W]

If it is text within wordpress/bbpess then the following code in you functions file will change it

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

But ‘text’ may be made up of code. For instance in your ‘create new topic in’ – the word topic may actually be a variable (I haven’t looked !), and the wrap around text used elsewhere for instance ‘create topic in’, ‘create reply in’, ‘create forum in’

On my local server search results URLs get pretty permalinks and search works. On my live server the query string is shown and no search results are returned.

I did a test by manually entering the search URL as it was prettyfied on my local server and surprisingly search works.

The search URL that bbPress returns looks like this and returns no results:
http://www.onedesigns.com/support/search?action=bbp-search-request&bbp_search=pinboard

The prettified link for the same search looks like this:
http://www.onedesigns.com/support/search/pinboard

So the search engine works and apparently it’s the permalinks that cause the issue. Changing or resaving WordPress’ permalink setting didn’t make any difference.

A var_dump for bbp_search returns NULL.

The only difference between my local server and live server is that on my local server I use Apache and on my live serve nginx + Varnish.

Is there any incompatibility between bbPress and nginx or Varnish? Are there any permalink configurations I must apply?

Thank you

I installed BBpress on wordpress, but when using HTML tags then these are not working.
They are also not white or anything, it’s totally not in the post. Bold, Italic etc are working fine.

For example which code is not working:

[James Doglasse]

eg

http://www.naturalparenting.com.au/natural-parenting-forums/topic/what-did-your-babies-weigh-at-birth/

I have tried everything. I figure its something simple but cant work it out

Latest wordpress and bbpress version.

[Etienne-Zestetik]

Can one bbPress plug-in work across different WordPress sites ? I would like to put it on : http://zestetik.fr/magazine/ & http://www.anti-age-magazine.com/ ? (same questions/answers will be display on both sites)

Thanks !
