I have just updated my Kunena v3.x importer and added v2.x and 1.x importers 🙂

@netweb said:

definitely private group forum posts should not be showing up when using [bbp-topic-index].

So I am trying to wrap my head around how this topic index shortcode should work. Is it intended to only display public forums? Or should it display forums the user has permissions to see?

If the latter, is that determined by the forum visibility, the buddypress group privacy status, or both?

Here is what I am experiencing with bbp 2.4, BP 1.8.1, and WP 3.6:

If the visibility of a group forum is changed (at the forum level) from published to private then a user with the forum role of participant can see the private forums in the topic index as well as on the forum root page. These are visible even if the user isn’t a member of that BP group.

But if I use the repair tool to “recalculate private and hidden forums”, that same user can no longer see them in the topic index (again, regardless of if the user is a group member or not), but can still view them on the forum root page.

Is this what should be happening?

Or perhaps is this related to this defect?

My ultimate goal is to have a user role that can view private topics and another role that can not. Can this be accomplished using that topic-index shortcode, or do I need to find another solution?

Thanks for all your efforts!

Hello Support.

I have placed the [bbp-register] on a pages and it works great. Is the a way to make the error page or confirmation page not go to wordpress/wp-login.php page?

I want all the pages to look the same thought the site, and I do not want users to know I am using wordpress as a backend.

Regards

D.

Allowing others to create accounts for your forum.

I had problems with this (various instructions skipped steps or were vague), so once I worked it out I thought it might be helpful here.

Install BB press as per the instruction

Once you have activate the plugin on your WordPress Dashboard (Plugins > Installed pluggins > activate) you should get a welcome message. At the bottom of that screen is a link to follow to alter your basic forum settings (or if you have closed that screen: Settings > Forums from your dashboard). Set them as you like.

You will now have a new section of your Dashboard – Forums. Hover over Forums then select ‘add new’. Name your forum etc.

Now create 3 new website pages on your website. ‘Forums’, ‘New users’ and ‘Lost password’. On the New Users page copy the following text exactly [bbp-register]
On the lost password page put this text: [bbp-lost-pass]
Remember to update/upload the pages.

Now go to Appearance > Widgets. Drag and drop the ‘BBloggin Widget’ into your side bar (on the left. Make sure you have the side bar activation in Appearance > Customize > Layout).

The widget will pop open and ask for 2 urls. Put the URLs of your new New Users page in the Register box and the lost password page in Lost password box. Click save at the bottom of the widget box.

Go to http://www.’yourdomain.com/forums and you should see your new forum, with a login widget at the side. Click the register link and it should take you to a form other people can fill in to create a new account (you may be logged in to your forum already, so either log out, or try it on someone else’s computer. Just to check it works.

Hi.

I have a site with WordPress+bbPress 2.0

Today I tryied to upgrade bbPress from 2.0 to 2.4 and all our forum topics are not shown now.
I have a custom theme.

I’m not sure if I have done well this bbPress upgrade: I just deactivate current bbPress rename bbpress folder to _bbpress to maintain old version just in case, download new bbPress from site and upload and uncompress, so now both versions of bbPress appears on WordPress administrator: 2.0 deactivated and 2.4 activated.

I tryied to rename premalinks of forum and topics as I read this could fix this issue, but not on my case.

Any help?

Thank you.

[Stephen Edgar]

@csotelo Most excellent dude…. That said, I made one too 🙂

You can grab the latest revision from https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2402

The main differences are:

• Forums
• Updated code formatting and inline docs
• Uses kunena_categories.parent_id for Forum parent ID
• Imports Forums topic & reply counts
• Uses kunena_categories.alias for forum slug (seo)
• Includes Category/Forum forum type input & callback method
• Includes Open/Closed forum status & callback method
• Topics
• Ahmmm

Ok, I just stopped at ‘Topics’ as there are quite a few differences there, I based mine on Kunena v3.0.1 Forums, What version are you importing from?
(There are some significant changes here)

[Stephen Edgar]

@nykess bbPress 2.4 included some updates to make it responsive as detailed here.

[Stephen Edgar]

@akgt “all posts and topics have the same titles” this is fixed in bbPress 2.4

@kcurlsjr This is a known issue on forum visibility, details are in ticket #2408 and a possible workaround is in this thread

[John James Jacoby]

Fixed already for 2.4.1; I’ll release next week.

[John James Jacoby]

A bug, fixed in trunk and will be part of 2.4.1 next week.

Sorry about that.

I’m trying to import a bbpress 1.0.2 forum to the latest version of WordPress-bbpress (2.4). It has 37,000 topics, which all seem to import OK and look good. But when the importer is importing replies, it seems to stall out around 70,000. It gets slower and slower until it’s a crawl.

I’m wondering if this is due to the wp_bbp_converter_translator table that apparently is created to help translate the standalone bbPress posts into WordPress? This table is now 500,000 lines already. Or is there some other explanation? Is it because I am using bbPress 1.0.2?

Have you tried disabling all other plugins and running a standard wordpress theme?

I doubt this is a problem with bbPress.

Hello,

I am new to the WordPress world and setting up my first experimental site inside my company. I want to move a blog/forum from an old home grown system to a new bbPress forum. I do not need to carry over replies; just the topics, write ups, author, and tags. I have all of the information in a spreadsheet. Assuming all of the old authors have accounts in the new WordPress, is there a way to import the topics and their metadata? I see importers for some specific BBs but nothing for just a generic data file.

Thanks much for any suggestions,
Mike Harper

Hello,

First I’d like to thank you for your plugin it will help very much for the new site I’m building.

I would like to know what page is the main forum landing page. I’d like to make a few edits, such as removing the default title “Forum” at the top and replace with my site conformed titles for each page. I would also like to comment out the forum search box.

I am currently wordpress vers 3.6 and I installed bbpress 2.4 today.
Here is the link. http://108.167.136.97/~kitchens/forums/

Thank you,

Ross

Yes!

It works. I just deleted the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress directory and uploaded it again!

But… I have another problem. My permalinks are set to /%postname%/, but when clicking a link on the website that is moved, I get a 404 error.

I have opened a topic about this at the Dutch support forums for WordPress, you can find it here:
https://nl.forums.wordpress.org/topic/probleem-met-permalinks-1?replies=1#post-302387

Thanks for the help!

Hi!

I noticed a strange behaviour in the freshness column for the latest post link – sometimes it is
/forum/topic/topicname/page/2/#post-391430
but sometimes it’s just
/forum/topic/topicname/#post-391523

In first case, the link takes me to the latest post, in second case the link just leads to the first page of discussion, even though there are 440 pages! This really bugs my users and I can’t seem to find the solution. Every bit of advice is helpful!

I use WordPress 3.6 and bbPress 2.4. The problem can be seen at http://www.kilb.ee/foorum/sisu/mnemomaraton/mnemomaraton-2/ (in the rightmost column) and it also occurs with TwentyEleven theme.

Hello,

I have a website which I have added the bbpress plugin too (wordpress).

The website is split into three areas which are completely unrelated.

1. An info site
2. Forum 1
3. Forum 2

Forum one is done.

Now I need to add a second forum with completely different catagories of topics etc.

How can I achieve this with BB press. Each ‘main forum’ has about 30 forum catagories under them but both main forums are completely unrelated. Both forums have the same logins for users.

Any help would be amazing.

[J]

It is 3 years later and I am having the same issue. My entire wordpress system is set up with emails as the usernames.

You mentioned you found a workaround or figured it out. how did you do it?

The bbpress user profiles show the email address in the url and I was trying to get bbpress to use something else like display name or nickname instead.

Is there a way to do it?

Thanks

[jgasparine]

Forgive me, I am a little new to WordPress. I tried to look for /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress, but don’t know where to look for this Auto-Role string. The option IS enabled under the settings menu.

I did, however, make some other discoveries:

1) Auto role is still working for some users that sign-up for the site, but not others. Can’t seem to figure out the common element for those instances where it works/doesn’t work.

2) Auto role seems to work for everyone once I deactivate my Register Plus Redux plugin (v3.9.10).

It is worth noting that there was no issue with Auto Role between Register Plus Redux v3.9.10 and bbPress v2.3.2. The issue only cropped-up after upgrading to bbPress v2.4

Any help that you can provide would be appreciated as I would really like to keep using Register Plus Redux.

Hello everyone!

I have a problem.
I have just moved my WordPress website from an ISP to another ISP.
But, I have a problem!
After moving the website I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_get_topic_post_type() in /home/wdele/domains/carafec.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 571

I have bbPress installed. Does someone have an idea how to fix this?
I would be very thankful!

Thank you in advance.

Have a good day,
William

[vtroia]

Sorry, I figured it out. The path was actually fine. Please ignore.

[vtroia]

I apologize in advance if this seems like a duplicate. I’ve read a number of posts on properly creating a BBPress theme, but my CSS refuses to load. Here is how I have things setup.

wp-content/
++++ main-theme-child/
++++ +++ bbpress.php
++++ +++ bbpress-functions.php
++++ +++ bbpress/ <- contains all of the files from the default theme.
++++ +++ css/bbpress.css

For whatever reason, the css won’t load. Any thoughts?
