nicoblue: I checked your website and – as far as I can see – you solved the problem. I’ve the same issue now; could you help me with the solution?

Wordpress version: 3.5.1
BBpress version: 2.3.2
Theme: Default Twenty-eleven (from earlier WP) with my own minor modifications

The problem is the same: the bbpress forum style on the full-width pages are working flawless. But when I use the shortcode, the floating elements are broken, for example the pagination is messed up. The styling was okay a year ago, but I updated bbpress not so long ago, after I did not checked the shortcode pages (my bad…), and yesterday I faced with the problem.

I show you the difference:

On full-width page, without shortcode (perfect):

Link: http://www.radu.hu/forum/f/kerdesek-a-pontos-adatokkal-kapcsolatban/

With shortcode, pagination and other styles are broken:

Link: http://www.radu.hu/hasznos-eszkozok/jo-minosegu-backteszt-adatok/adatok-letoltese/

At the bottom of the page, the new topic box (the border) is wrong:

Link: http://www.radu.hu/hasznos-eszkozok/jo-minosegu-backteszt-adatok/adatok-letoltese/

If anyone could give me a hint… 🙂

I have been coming to some realizations as to what exactly is happening and some ideas on how to tackle the issues. The solutions I will propose will not be optimal, but better than the current default.

When using bbPress for new user registration they are actually using the WordPress system for user registration. Now I have tried a few plugins to avoid spam with user registration but most seem old and none seem to work out of the box. Welp, if you cant beat them, join them. Instead of using the bbPress registration form maybe I will direct the user to the WordPress backend, or a page similar to the default WordPress backend that I stylize to look like my site’s page. There I can include links back to the forum and they dont get this feeling like they have left my site.

Regarding the registration email, this is actually the WordPress registration email. You can change this to your liking with a host of plugins.

Overall I think there are a lot of rough edges. I cannot ask for too much since this is free, but given the number of support issues revolving around these topics it would be cool if bbPress could incorporate these features on its own. It would make this great plugin just that much cooler.

Cheers!

Thanks for the tips Robin!

I got the forum page set up in the site’s menu and it looks like the widgets you mention were already included when I uploaded bbPress, so I put them into the sidebar. I am still not exactly clear on how I would set up a user after they sign up with the contact form 7. Would I need to create their username and password etc and where do I set them up? Also, when I log out as a user, I am getting an error page that says “Oops, this link appears to be broken.” This is the link: http://www.successintention.com/forums/forum/success/?loggedout=true
You also mention that the user will have “no role for this site” for wordpress. Where do I set this up?

Thanks,
Suzanna

This will take you several stages but should get you where you want to be

1. For your forum page

Create a page called forum or forums. In the body of the page type the following code

[bbp-forum-index]

And save

If your menu auto-creates then this will appear, if not go into dashboard>appearance>menus

2. Create a register form

Download contact form 7

https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/

set up a page called ‘register’, and put a registration for in there

3. Download bbpress WP tweaks

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/

This will give you a bbpress sidebar that your forum page will use

Go into dashboard>appearance>widgets and populate this with

(bbpress) login widget

The url for register will be the page you set up under 2 – so populate this with “/register”, and the lost password url will be “/lost-password”

(bbpress) forums list

(bbpress) recent topics

(bbpress) recent replies

And anything else you want to add

4. When someone sends in a form (it’ll be emailed to you) then you can set them up, and ensure that they don’t get the toolbar. They will have “no role for this site” for wordpress, and “participant” form bbpress.

That should be enough to get you going, but come back if you need more !

Hi there,

I want to change the text in the buttons above the reply box, for example: I would like to change ‘b-quote’ to ‘block quote’.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I’m running WordPress 3.5.1 and BBPress 2.3.2.

Cheers,

Damian

It is depreciated in favor of the new bbPress Roles & Caps thus why it is not called.

Your first “forum” is actually your home page – most people run forums as a sub to their main site -the site sort of thinks it is displaying

home>forums>Digital terrestrial

Interesting thread here

How do I edit bbPress breadcrumbs?

Which makes me think this plugin might be what you need to lose the “home” page bit in the breadcrumb.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-string-swap/

It that doesn’t work, come back and I’ll try to work out where in the plugin you put some code.

Hi,

I have created an open private forum. When a person registers and logs in, they are directed to the front page of my site. When they access the dashboard and try to click on the forum topics they get a message that says “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” My question is:

1. When they log in, is there a way that they could get directed straight to the forum instead of being directed to my site’s front page.
2. When they go to the Dashboard, how can I give them access to the topics so they don’t get the message: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

bbPress Version: 2.4.1
WordPress 3.7.1.

bbPress Genesis Extend Version 1.0.1

Thanks,

I have seen this question asked often but I cannot see an answer. I set up bbpress yesterday, all looks OK so far. When a new user registers an email is sent to their address. The information isn’t very helpful or friendly or even clear who it’s from and the link provided is http://lancaster.thefamilynoticeboard.co.uk/wp-login.php

I don’t want users sent to the WP login screen. I want them to be directed to my forum page where there is a login widget.

Secondly can the register widget be adapted to ask for first and last name as well as username or any other information I may want to record?

My WordPress version is 3.6 and bbpress is 2.4.1

Thank you!

Hello,

I am trying to add an image to a post. I am logged in as an administrator but when trying to submit the post with an img tag it returns an error: Forbidden You do not have permission to access this document

I am using bbpress Version 2.4.1 and WordPress 3.6.1.

Thanks!

[abdessamad idrissi]

this is a bug in WordPress; see this ticket

[nickhepp]

Hello, I will apologize in advance if this has been covered but I see bits and pieces around these topics but the solutions are outdated or I just dont get the whole solution.

I would like to modify two things about the bbPress forum registration process:
1) I would like the user to go to a page of my choosing on successful registration, not WordPress backend login.
2) I would like the registration email to contain a link of my choosing (same as 1) instead of to the WordPress backend login.

I have seen many posts on this forum suggesting to edit certain php pages which I am comfortable with, but the details must be for old versions of bbPress b/c I cannot find the PHP pages in question. I have downloaded most of my website through FTP and tried to text search for the specific functions and cant find them either. I know I am missing something. Other things I have seen mentioned are including filters. I am really unsure of how filters are integrated into the solution (I am very new to WordPress). I think I am close to a solution, or if someone has a really nice plugin I would love that.

Here are my environment specs:
bbPress 2.4
WordPress 3.6

Thank you in advance.

That’s the Forum Root Slug. As set under Settings, Forums.

Forum Root Slug

Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.
Forum Root=forums
Forum Prefix=Checked Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)
Forum root should show=Forum Index

The page with the shortcode is:
redhorsecrm.com/forum

Your sign in issues are WordPress & MediaWiki issues, nothing to do with bbPress, I suggest you ask on WordPress Support https://wordpress.org/support/

Your bbPress issue is not existant now as all I see is SimplePress on your site.

Having a quick look you should be able to export the ‘questions’ via /wp-admin/export.php

As the plugin uses ‘Custom Post Types’ you should be able to then edit the exported XML file and find do a search and replace:

Find <wp:post_type>question</wp:post_type>

Replace <wp:post_type>topic</wp:post_type>

I had issues with the plugin on my site so I am not sure if it uses ‘question’ for the answers or uses ‘answers’ as a CPT for them, if it does use ‘answers’ then search and replace:

Find <wp:post_type>answers</wp:post_type>

Replace <wp:post_type>reply</wp:post_type>

Once you have done that then import them back into WordPress and see how they look, no doubt there will be a few issues such as topics not associated with a forum and depending on how many of these you have editing them in bbPress topic/reply panels should help you fix up any issues, if you have thousands then doing some more tweaking in the XML would be your best bet.

To get an idea of what you would need the best idea would be to export some bbPress forums, topics & replies and have a look at the XML and this should help you work out what values you need to use for search and replace.

My simple avatar plugin works really well with BBPress, except for the ability to delete the avatar from the bbpress profile editing page. When you click that button, the avatar does not get deleted. It still works from the wordpress admin Edit User page, but not on the site’s front end. Any ideas on this?

[josefelix]

Hey @fskrdla, can you please help me? I’m having the exact same issue, I’m in no way a programmer but I get around. I tried installing both Bbpress (2.4) and Buddypress (1.8) on WordPress (3.7) and I can’t for the life of me to get them to work. I updated the settings on my server to PHP 5.3, but I can’t seem to activate both BB and Buddy at the same time, I get a memory allocation error.

Do you have any tips on how to solve this? Thanks so much either way!

[VegasKev88]

This issue is not resolved on my installation for some reason. I notified trac here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2327#comment:11

[channelwiki]

I am currently using BBPress and will integrate it with MediaWiki.

However, the problem is as my forum’s index is set to display as a shortcode on a page called ‘Forums’, which is set as my site’s homepage the breadcrumbs display as follows:

Forums >> Forums >> Digital Terrestrial

See: http://www.channelwiki.org/forums/?forum=digital-terrestrial

As you can see the second ‘forums’ link takes a user to the default BBPress Forum index (not my sites homepage). How can this second ‘Forums’ link be removed?

The second issue is, as users are signing in via MediaWiki and will then be signed in to WordPress when they access the site automatically, how can I disable sign in via WordPress and registration, but still allow access to private messages and sign in via the wiki? The WP-Admin bar will also be hidden

Another issue is that I do not know how to redirect users back to the wiki. I’ve though about placing a ‘Log in’ link in the site’s main navigation, which links to the wiki’s login page but I’m not sure how to redirect them back.

Many thanks in advance,
channelwiki

I don’t have any place on the left side bar to edit BBpress and when I go into the settings of the plugin I see this message:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

I have 3.7.1 of wordpress installed

I just uploaded the most recent version of bbpress

My site is http://www.bodyredesignonline.com

[Stephen Edgar]

Everything looks pretty good 🙂

I could only see the one issue

You have:

// Forum parent id (If no parent, then 0. Stored in postmeta)
$this->field_map[] = array(
'from_tablename' => 'forum_forums',
'from_fieldname' => 'ForumGroupID',
'to_type' => 'forum',
'to_fieldname' => '_bbp_forum_parent_id'
);

And this should be either 'from_fieldname' => 'ParentID', or 'from_fieldname' => 'GroupID'

I tried it again using my cpanel login which should be a sql login and now it’s got a growing line of dashes across the screen. It’s been running for over 30 minutes and there are less than 200 posts, so I’m not sure what it’s doing. Is there anything I can check to see what it’s doing? If anything?

This looks right in that using your cPanel login, I would double check your webhost help section to confirm what your MySQL user/pass are (You can also grab these typically from your WordPress wp-config.php file via FTP.

The ‘——–‘ is a horrible bug that happens more than I would like but debugging this has been a pain to say the least and I haven’t been able to find what causes it yet alone a fix for it. Typically logging out and logging back in ‘seems to fix it’ most of the time.

With all that said though if you can get past that ‘bug’ then it looks like you are good to go.

EDIT: With ~200 posts the whole process should be completed in under 5 minutes.

Do you have your wordpress installed on another port other than 80? If so, the problem might be with the nonce verification. I was receiving the wrong requested url and when used returned a false validation. The problem is it uses $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] which gives something like this ‘192.168.1.50:8080’ concatenated with $_SERVER[‘SERVER_PORT’] (‘8080’). The verification should be, instead using $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] (e.g. ‘192.168.1.50’) concatenated with $_SERVER[‘SERVER_PORT’] (‘8080’) to succeed.

Hello there, I just went through some problems where the bbPress capabilities were not registered in the wp_user_roles option_name row entry. I don’t know what caused it but I was trying to see if I uninstalled/reinstalled bbPress it might reset the capabilities. It didn’t.

So I got hunting through the code and I found this function:

/**
 * Adds capabilities to WordPress user roles.
 *
 * @since bbPress (r2608)
 */
function bbp_add_caps() {

	// Loop through available roles and add caps
	foreach ( bbp_get_wp_roles()->role_objects as $role ) {
		foreach ( bbp_get_caps_for_role( $role->name ) as $cap => $value ) {
			$role->add_cap( $cap, $value );
		}
	}

	do_action( 'bbp_add_caps' );
}

But nothing seem to ever call this function. I did a search through all of the plugin code and there aren’t any references to this function. What gives?

In the end I was able to force the capabilities to be rebuilt by adding this function call inside another function that I knew was being called and it worked (I’ve since removed this).

BTW, this is on WP 3.7.1, bbPress 2.4.1.

Thanks!
Patrick
