I can’t seem to find anything the closest thing I found was New User Approval which only works for WordPress registration. Any ideas?

Hello guys!

I have a specific question about adding forums, threads and replies in Bbpress.
Some times ago i made a script that’s sending data to fill the DB in wordpress – i just send via POST: author, post, title etc via php script, that add it all to DB. It was simple.

Now i have to make it in Bbpress, and there is a problem: besides the ‘wp_posts’ data i see many cells in ‘wp_post_meta’ when i create a forum, topic and a reply such as:

_bbp_topic_count
_bbp_total_reply_count
_bbp_forum_subforum_count
_bbp_reply_count
_bbp_last_active_time

etc

The problem is that I want to do it in the future delayed (this future posts date). And the question is: how do I write this posts and Bbpress helps me and refreshes that data in ‘wp_post_meta’.

I googled my problem and found this functions in functions.php:

  function bbp_update_topic_topic_id( $topic_id = 0 ) {
     $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
  
     update_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_topic_id', (int) $topic_id );
 
      return apply_filters( 'bbp_update_topic_topic_id', (int) $topic_id );
  }

That’s what I’m looking for? I will be happy if Bbpress has some API or xml-rpc method to add a topics and replies, but there is none 🙁

Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

Thanks, I will dig around a bit more tomorrow and see what I can find.

See this bbPress Trac ticket for more information, the fix will be included with bbPress 2.4.1

Greetings,

I’ve imported my forum from vbulletin, althou he copied everything the users didnt got connected and they are named imported_something. the page /author returns 404 not found.

The avatar on my website was being used by vbulletin now we have no avatars? how to add them? the profile page that comes with wordpress doesnt have an option for that.

Check to see if you have a conflict with another WordPress plugin
https://codex.bbpress.org/faq/#plugin-conflicts

[Stephen Edgar]

Are you using the Genesis bbPress plugin?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-genesis-extend/

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks for that, it appears it’s not related to another bug I was testing for 🙁

As per above using your bbPress.org/wordpress.org username and password can you create a ticket on Trac and we can then track it much better there.

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you open the bbPress ‘Settings’ -> ‘Forums’ panel in your WordPress dashboard:
eg. http://example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress

Change a setting eg. Topics from 15 per page to 14 per page click ‘Save Changes’
(It doesn’t really matter what is changed here as we are just forcing bbPress to update its setting in the wp_options table)

Go check your site at eg. http://example.com/forums

Is the issue fixed?

If Yes, go back and change the setting back to its original setting

If not, now go to the ‘Tools’ -> ‘Forums’ panel in your WordPress dashboard:
eg. http://example.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair

Run each of these individually:

• Recalculate the parent topic for each post
• Recalculate the parent forum for each post
• Recalculate private and hidden forums
• Recalculate last activity in each topic and forum
• Recalculate the sticky relationship of each topic
• Count topics in each forum
• Count replies in each forum
• Count replies in each topic
• Count voices in each topic
• Count spammed & trashed replies in each topic
• Count topics for each user
• Count replies for each user

Again go check your site at eg. http://example.com/forums

Is the issue fixed?

Hello, I have a default WordPress install (latest version) with a default bbPress 2.4 install using TwentyTwelve, no files have been modified. The replies pagination does not work, though the pagination for topic listings is.

Does anybody else have this issue? I’m going to take a look at the pagination functions and see if I can come up with a fix

Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to “fight” with the bbPress installation on top of the existing Genesis / Dynamik installation.
The forum and all other elements look like a bad experiment in html links by a novice.
The site details:

WordPress version 3.6.1
bbPress version 2.4

Thanks,

I’ve just installed bbPress on my WordPress site through my admin and when I click activate plugin I get this message

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

It does show it’s activated when I look at it in “installed plugins” but if I click “settings” or “about” I get the same message!

I’ve tried deleting bbPress and reinstalling it but still no change!

I’ve also searched the forums for an answer but haven’t able to find anything.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Marc

Vs 2.4 in WordPress 3.6.1

I have installed BBPress and am trying things out, posting topics and forums but looking in the admin Forum section under All Replies, all but the first is marked Mismatch with 0 counts. Why is this and what will it affect? It’s still not listed on our site, but it’s live and working. I would like to work the bugs out before going live.

Anyone have any ideas on what this means?

[spottedplanes]

Where is this “Tools-Forum” to find this uninstall script..I’m having trouble with my WordPress site after removing bbpress. Email notifications no longer work from my website…jetpack stats graph missing from the admin bar

[speds]

I am using WordPress 3.6.1 version and bbpress version 2.4. My site is a membership site, if I deactivate bbpress, I will be able to send emails. However, if I reactivate it, I will not be able to send an email.

Can someone help me.

[Nadiamode]

Hi guys,

Has there been any other fix to this problem, as I don’t have direct access to our server I can’t modify core files either. Problem is same as above if the Forum root “forums” shares a name with a page it does not use the page settings but tries to display it like a blog layout. So if you click Forums in the breadcrumb it takes you to a blog archive type page instead of the index page it should. I am using latest version of wordpress 3.6.1, latest version of bbpress 2.4 and use Headway theme 3.5.5. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Link to site is http://thaimarket.co.za/forum/ Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you create a ticket in Trac for this with as much info as you can to help us reproduce the issue.

[Todd – WireFlare]

Marked as fixed in the upcoming 2.5 release. See the ticket here:

I didn’t do much searching but I turned this pageup. MyCred looks like a pretty good plugin within some good support behind it.

[BenHanna]

After changing My forums from private to public They disappeared. They can still be found on my latest posts page but they appear as closed. when I open them, it says they do not exsist.

Im uisng latest versions of bb press, buddypress and wordpress

[dman578]

wordpress = 3.6.1
bbpress = 2.4
theme = twenty ten with bbpress child (css heavily modified)

so when a new user registers, i have a plugin that allows me to accept or deny the new user registration. PLUGIN = New User Approve(1.5.2)

the new user gets email being sent during the approval and acceptance process:

“You have been approved to access MySite Community
Username: testdan1
http://www.mysite.com/community/wp-login.php”

That is all that the users gets when i approve them? where is the password? If i deny the user, they get:

“You have been denied access to MySite Community”

Start by watching this, it’s a bit old, but will get you started.

Then

Create a page called “forums” or whatever you set the forums page to be when you were in settings (see video), if you are using a custom menu, add this page to it. That way your have a fourms page on your site which has all the forum stuff inc. login which we’ll add next!

Next – install a further plugin called bbpress tweaks https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-wp-tweaks/

This :

Adds a forum specific sidebar to your forum page, so this can be different to the blog and static pages.

Gives you login widgets which along with recent comments and recent topics widget makes your forum sidebar have everything it needs

hello. sometimes i feel like a senior citizen using a computer for the first time when it comes to WordPress…
i’m working on a site http://www.evangelicalassociation.org/EAWordpress and i’m hoping to create a forum that requires a log-in and can receive email notifications when a new topic is posted. i’ve downloaded the latest version of bbpress as well as bbpress email notifications today.

where do i start? how do i add the forum to my page? when someone clicks on the ‘forum’ menu option in the navigation, will it prompt to create a log-in?

i’m very new to wordpress and i know very little about coding and things like that, so please be gentle 🙂

thank you for your help!!!

Howdy,

I have upgradet bbPress 1.1 (standalone) to bbPress 2.4 integrated in WordPress. Some new written posts will not shown in the forum-index. In the topic-overview it shows the correct post order (post time and date). I have installed the GD bbPress Tools and when I klick on show the newest replys, the order of the topics is confused. I think there is a problem with user rights, because some posts are displayed correctly and some do not. If the administrator with id 4 writes a post, it will not display correctly. When the user id 240 (new user) writes a new post, it will shown correct.

I had searched for sich problem, but the solutions I found was for bbPress 1.

What can I do?

Kind regards
