Two questions:

1. Does anyone know of a way (like a Plugin) to extend BBPress so that users can post by email? For example, a customer emails support@ourdomain.com and it’s forwarded to BBPress and a post is created. We receive an email notification about their post and reply to that notification via email as well. It also posts to the forums and sends a similar notification back to the customer to which they can respond via email as well. Ultimately they’ll never really have to interface with the forums if they don’t want to.
2. We have customers mention and message us on social media outlets but are tired of having to log into that system to respond. We’d like to respond from within WordPress and it seems like having them become BBPress Posts would make sense since they’re usually support requests anyway.

Thanks!

Hi Stephen,

I’m having similar issues to @aje_1985, however my theme does not have a page.php file. Is there any other way to get the index page to show?

My forum index should be showing at: http://rad.mosaicearth.com/gatherings/

I’m using a minimal child theme, whose parent theme is the default theme from pagelines.com. Their templating system is a little different than traditional wordpress themes, and hence there is no page.php.

Just to try, I duplicated page.php from the twentyfourteen WP theme, and renamed to bbPress.php and put directly into my child theme folder. (Is this the right place to put it?) The result was my forum index page became white, and nothing showed.

Next I tried copying the whole bbpress templates folder to my child theme and again no luck. I’d really appreciate any advise here, as I’m reaching a dead end for what to try.

Thank you.

I have WordPress 3.8 installed with the bbPress 2.5.2. The WP is in Finnish so it’s important that the forums are in Finnish as well, so I attempted to add the translation file as told here.
http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

I took the latest dev branch Finnish translation, downloaded the .po and .mo files, renamed them to bbpress-pt_FI, even attempted bbpress-fi_FI, uploaded to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ but no results. The forums are still in English.

I also checked that the language is set to fi in the wp-config.

Why is the translation not working?

[artkahlich]

Here is my setup info:
Wordpress: 3.8
bbPress: 2.5.2
OS is Linux, Fedora 11
PHP is 5.2.13
Apache is 2.2.15

Theme is a copy of TwentyFourteen with light modifications to margins, colors, fonts and font sizes only. No php mods at all.
bbPress Plugins are “bbPress Admin Bar”, “bbPress Notify (no spam)”, “Global Hide/Remove Admin Bar Plugin”
Wordpress plugins are “bbPress”, “Bad Behavior”, “Akismet” and “Mailchimp”.

I get the same ordering issues with only some of the Topic threads.

I also have a particular thread where a reply to a reply does not show any thread indentation and ends up after all comments on the topic, just as if it had been a reply to topic.

Finally, at least in the TwentyFourteen theme I have some complaints:

1. The legend of bbp-form gives no indication of the difference between a reply to topic versus a reply to a reply. I have to look at the URL displayed by the browser to tell the difference.

2. When I go to the link of a post given by the RSS feed, it displays starting below the post’s toolbar. Now I know there is a toolbar above the post and can scroll up to click the REPLY link, then go reply. BUT – I really, really don’t want to have to educate every one of my moderators and users about this. From some Google searching about this, it seems that having the post’s reply link above the post is a more recent feature. I don’t think it is very intuitive, especially when a post link ending in “…/#post-416” gets me to post 416 with the toolbar for that post invisible until you scroll up to see it (if you knew to do that).

3. Some of my moderators have pointed out to me examples of the “Freshness” column in the Forum index pages being just plain wrong. To be more specific, the “Freshness” entries in question say a particular category is several days old (even after an F5 browser refresh), when by going down to a topic in that category you can see that it should have been 30 minutes old.

hello all,

I have searched the forums here and not found a solution yet, so sorry if I have missed it.

I recently installed bbPress to my site and all seemed fine. I have not done anything that I can think of this evening but the dashboard options have all disappeared. I think this could be user settings issue but the forum repair tool in the Tools panel has disappeared too so I am unable to repair the user settings. anyone got any ideas how I can reset the admin access?

I have checked that I am set as Keymaster and have also noticed that the forum settings when editing profiles has also disappeared

Wordpress 3.8 and bbPress 2.5.2

Thanks in advanced for any help.

Matt

Happy New Year all!

Just noticed a slight bug I think with the way that BBPress deals with @mentions since this TRAC ticket for the way BP handles usernames with spaces in.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7570

So basically a new username can now HAVE spaces in it.

When we use that username with spaces in BBPress it isn’t happy and wont work, unless it’s hyphenated.

Let me know if you’d like me to make a TRAC ticket for it.

🙂

I just tried with a default theme but it does not work either.

My plugin enable are :
bbPress
bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab
Light – Responsive LightBox
NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati
Regenerate Thumbnails
Relevanssi
Responsive Lightbox
Sidebar Login
Theme My Login
TinyMCE Advanced
User Role Editor
WP-PageNavi
WP Minify
WP Wall

You can test on http://www.lsa-clan.fr/wordpress/forums (register is open)

I’d suggest taking a look at the bbPress Repair Tool to remap users forums role as it shows pretty much what you are trying to achieve using bbp_set_user_role

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/admin/tools.php#L771

[Stephen Edgar]

That’s possible but most of that is not my expertise and a little beyond my skillset. 😉

I’d probably suggest you do some debugging, grab the following plugin as it will add a few other debug plugins, in particular ‘debug bar’ and you will be able to view the SQL queries being made to MySQL that might help track what actions are causing a post revision to be added.

Jillianne, glad you found the issue, it might be worthwhile adding a post to the support section on CodeCanyon here http://codecanyon.net/item/pages-by-user-role-for-wordpress/136020/comments

p.s. I moved your topic is it was a different issue 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

This is now supposedly resolved though you have to contact AWPCP to get the update

[welle]

hey 🙂

I am new to wordpress and bbpress, but i just want bbpress and close wordpress standard functions like blog stuff.

So i only have the bbpress forum on my site 🙂

best regards! 😀

[Stephen Edgar]

AWPCP state this is now fixed, contact them for an updated version.

[Stephen Edgar]

This can NOT be done at this stage with bbPress.

Comments are just that and bbPress uses custom post types (CPT) and we do not have comments enabled for these custom post types.

What we are working on though is replacing WordPress comments with bbPress topics.

Follow the guide here as it looks like your site has been hacked or has some malware there.

(If you do have plugins redirecting your visitors to ‘other’ sites then maybe your not hacked but I seriously hope you are not doing this)

https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked , and stop trying to patch up your hacked site. Reinstall or restore your backups. And read https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

[Stephen Edgar]

This is more of a WordPress issue than bbPress, bbPress should function in whataver language the site is in correctly.

This looks like a good start and quite a few people use WPML and bbPress

Hi Stephen,

Please see this 2 threads:
add user notification in bbpress moderation

pending topics must be viewable to the author only – bbpress moderation plugin

I haven’t tried the HTML message yet since I am currently bump to my problem of creating a thank you page after creating a topic.

Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

Can I suggest you add some links to this post and to the “bbPress Moderation” support forum outlining the changes/updates you made, I am quite sure some other people would find the information quite useful.

I think this is it https://github.com/syamilmj/Supportte/

You should be fine WooCommerce users a just WordPress users, the same goes for bbPress, all your users are WordPress users.

[ctseng01]

Thanks. I found the conflicting plugin (Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin (AWPCP). Unfortunately it is a plugin that I must have on my site. Can you give me some pointer in how I can resolve the conflict? (other than switch to another plugin)

Thanks for removing the Id/PW.

Christina.

Hi Again,

So after working like crazy I found a plugin that seems to interfere with the permissions somehow with bbPress causing the first post to not display properly.

This was the culprit:
http://codecanyon.net/item/pages-by-user-role-for-wordpress/136020?ref=RightHere

After deactivating the above plugin everything worked as it was supposed to.

As I still require the functionality of this role restriction to limit access to page content I am investigating other options.

Cheers,
Jillianne

wordpress v 3.8 , bbPress v 2.5.5

I have created my Forum page and it was working correctly at first but now when I go to the main page I get a text version of the top level groups. http://biz139.inmotionhosting.com/~fantas55/forums/

I know the forums are actually there and working because I can still get to a forum post and use the breadcrumbs to get back to all the other levels of the forum, just not the top one.
http://biz139.inmotionhosting.com/~fantas55/forums/topic/pick-3-stacy-lacy-mccoy-or-bush/

Also is that Admin Notice going to go away, or is that related to this issue?

Hi everyone, I´m new at BBPress and I´m searching por a very particualar plugin, if it exists. I already have a wordpress site which have their own wordpress comments. Now we are implementing BBPress and I´d like to combine those WordPress comments with the BBPress Posts.

My site is a gaming news site and I want a plugin whicn converts each new, each article and each feature into a Topic in the forum, automatically. In addition, I want that each WordPress comment appears as a post in the topic in the forum adn each BBPress comment appears as a comment in the WordPress article.

Thanks for your help.
