Okay, not sure if this is the reason, but after your last reply a searched a little bit, found this ticket https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2070 and started to think that it’s a problem in the URL.

The only difference between XAMPP and MAMP (free) is that XAMPP uses “localhost” host name, while MAMP (free) uses “localhost:8888” when using MAMP ports by default (MAMP pro uses “localhost” that tell why it works OK with you). So I went to MAMP preferences and changed the ports settings to use default Apache and MySQL ports to use “localhost” instead of “localhost:8888”, and finally posting topics and replies is available again 🙂

Even better I setup a virtual hostname manually in MAMP (free) and the everything works fine.

I hope this will help others with the same issue with MAMP (free). Thanks for your time @johnjamesjacoby and @netweb, great work and keep it up.

Jump back in time to bbPress 2.1 Twenty Ten templates, they specifically used tables for forums, topics & replies. You want to have a close look at the loop-*.php templates.

[Stephen Edgar]

I don’t know of any bbPress specific plugin that can do this but there might be one that does something similar for standard WordPress Users/Subscribers/Authors etc.

I suggest having a search of WordPress Extend and if your in luck such a plugin may exist and may even work with bbPress.

How about I close this topic and we can keep it all in this single topic 😉

Moving to a new WordPress site

[Stephen Edgar]

I presume you are meaning the built in WordPress Export tool /wp-admin/export.php

I presume you are you exporting ‘All Content’ rather than forums, topics, replies individually?

After you have performed the import do you run the bbPress’ repair tools?

Thanks for the kind words. WordPress core doesn’t need a ton of work in this regard; a few small fixes would go a long way.

@earthman100 If you just want to map them manually you can do this from the WordPress ‘Users’ admin panel though you need to be using bbPress 2.3.

[Earthman Media]

If you create the user, it doesn’t assign them a role right away. They’ll get role mapped once they login to the site, or once you assign them a role.

In theory, but in a site using iMember360 and Infusionsoft, the user creation bypasses the standard WordPress hooks. So does logging in. Which leaves me with users who are subscribers but do not get a “Participant” role.

I have been looking for documentation for how you are “mappping” them to a role as you mention, but can’t find any. Where are the roles stored now, please, and do you have an easy function I can call on a different hook so I can “map” them manually, please?

I moved your topic to a new thread as it isn’t related to the one you replied to.

Version 3.5.1

[John James Jacoby]

What happens if you try a normal WordPress theme (twentyten, twentyeleven, twentytwelve?)

Something tells me a plugin or your theme is filtering the topics query, resulting in it returning 0 results.

[ehong33234]

I am running the latest BBPress 2.3 and I don’t see any link for the user to be able to update their profile (i.e. avatar, signature, password, etc.). So, I want to be able to put a hyperlink in the menu or somewhere else on my wordpress site that allows the user to access this page. I have found it to reside in http://www.domain.com/forums/users/nameofuser

The problem is, I can’t figure out a way to call out the username in the url. I tried http://www.domain.com/forums/users/%s and that didn’t work. I am using permalinks and tried http://www.domain.com/forums/users/%username%/ and still nothing.

Someone please help, thank you!

[Jared Atchison]

This issue sounds semi-related to  related to ticket #1478, which was fixed in 2.3.

Upgrade to 2.3 (backup first!) and see if that fixes things.

[Stephen Edgar]

You should see an ‘IMG’ link or Picture icon on your editor toolbar for adding links to images with bbPress 2.3.

Improved mobile support is planned for bbPress 2.4 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933

[Stephen Edgar]

Do you use the bbPress Moderation plugin ?

Edit: I am quite sure you are using this plugin now, please disable it for now and everything should be fine. I asked the author about bbPress 2.3 compat ~2 months ago but we have not heard back from the plugin author.

[clickmac]

it seems as though this plugin. 404 simple redirect
does not work correctly with bbpress users,

when a new user decides to click on their profile link. i.e picture or name
to go to their profile, they are redirected to the 404 page

would like to know if their is a exception to this or a quick fix?
and can anyone helpZ! please! urgently!

the link to the plugin site is here:

Okay, and just to make matters weirder, I could log into my WordPress install (same account/password but for some reason you have to login again when you go over to bbpress) on the same iPhone.

AND I could log into the bbpress side on a different iPhone (borrowed one from somebody). But on my own iPhone I suddenly can’t. And I’ve been doing it successfully for years.

Did you try installing a new keyboard on the phone? Are you current with all system updates?

[Stephen Edgar]

There is a known issue with bbPress Moderation plugin.

I raised the issue of bbPress 2.3 compatibility with the plugin author ~2 months ago and for now I suggest you disable this plugin until the author updates the plugin.

I still have problems on my wordpress 3.5.1 site here http://www.truckstop24.no/truckerforum/

With the most recent botnet attack on WordPress powered websites, I’m (once again) reviewing the measures I take to secure my WP installations.

Most WP admins understand the importance of not using the default “admin” username when setting up a site. Many WP admins do not realize that simply using a different main admin username is not enough. That username should be “obscure” (not easily guessed) and it certainly should not be the same as the publicly displayed “nickname” that is associated with the user account. Those need to be different – this helps to prevent bots and bad people from getting the first part of your login credentials = your username.

While I been taking action to ensure this is the case on the WP sites I manage, I’ve noticed a problem with the way that bbpress displays username information. Even if a user has a “nickname” that is different from the actual username – when you hover over a link to the user’s profile the URL will show the actual username (the one you are trying to hide through obscurity).

There is an older thread on the WP forums that seems to suggest that this is not a WP core issue, but rather a plugin/theme coding issue. I don’t know if that is correct, or not. But, it is an issue in any case and needs to be addressed.

[Anonymous User]

Seemingly trivial and minor of a change, yet actually a huge change with no notice.

The bbPress body class has changed from bbPress to bbpress (losing the capital P). Depending on how much you’ve customized bbPress or if you’ve created a bbPress theme integrated right into a WordPress theme, all customizations will be broken.

This also breaks backwards-compatibility except for doubling up and references both .bbPress and .bbpress which will have to be done in my case.

Luckily, I discovered this issue in my testing environment. As you’ll find from the many topics that will be piling up over broken customization confusion over the next several days, others won’t be so lucky to catch the issue without learning the hard way.

Thanks, Bryan

@alex-ye wordpress +bbpress +Buddypress 

[jezza101]

Great, thanks for the new release. Always exciting to see new bbpress updates :)! Couple of comments from me.

Search
I’ve traditionally used Google search to search across my whole site, is there an easy way to switch the new form off? It appears to be forced upon the main forum list page.

It is also not looking great on my sites main forum page, what’s the easiest way to style this, what can I add to my CSS file to change the look? See here.

Stats
For those looking, the Stats shortcode is [bbp-stats], there is also a widget. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2052

Is it possible to style the output?
Can I control which stats are shown? For example “empty tags” isn’t something I really want to boast about on my forum!

[themattman]

Hi,

I’ve been trying numerous times to convert from vBulletin 3.8.1 to bbPress 2.3.

I get most of it converted until I get this message:
***** = database username

`WordPress database error: [Table ‘******.tagcontent’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(tagcontent.contentid USING “utf8”) AS contentid,convert(tagcontent.tagid USING “utf8”) AS tagid,convert(tag.tagtext USING “utf8”) AS tagtext FROM tagcontent AS tagcontent INNER JOIN tag AS tag USING (tagid) LIMIT 0, 100`

Any ideas what it means and how to fix? I can’t get pass this step and it screws the forum up, even if I repair the forum.

and as a result, it won’t allow the users replies to transfer either.

bbPress plugins work identically to WordPress’

Everything you’ve listed is entirely possible with bbPress, but as several of those features aren’t yet available for bbPress. You will need to do a lot of custom work, especially if you want to get a private messaging system working. That work will, obviously, require some coding expertise.
