I have looked around. Profile builder (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile-builder/) will allow me to do what I want, but I have to redirect the page or something to that extend. I was looking for a way to just to allow users to change their signature and not their display name.

Still hoping, someone somewhere has an answer to this and they will post here shortly.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep looking.

I have a fresh multisite/buddypress/bbpress.   I installed sitewide forums and made sure group functionality was turned on for forums.  This is on a sub site with buddypress multisite turned on.  I had previously had the same issues I have now on a already installed site.  Because of these issue I scrubbed the install, wiped the database and reinstalled fresh.  I still have this issue.  when I create a topic from buddypress group forum page it goes to a blank page with this error

“<br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function bb_get_id_from_slug() in <b>/home/spanef/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-functions.php</b> on line <b>178</b><br />”

 

I have seen previous solutions about deleting the forum ids in bp_group_meta which i did and upon recreation still didn’t work.

I have the newest wordpress, buddypress and bbpress .  This is a fresh install.   Do you have any idea what i can do, I have to have this working.

GD bbPress attachments is fully compatible with bbPress 2.2.x as far as I know.

I’m in the same camp as @Nova; I’ve got custom taxonomies that I want to be included with forum posts.

In the meantime I’m just creating my own post type “discussion”, i.e. faking a forum with wordpress posts.

(the trick there is to find/create a view where posts are sorted by “last comment”)

Did you figure anything out? (Nova or anyone else…)

[Stephen Edgar]

Some progress at least which is a good thing…

The WordPress import has an option import_allow_create_users: return false if you only want to allow mapping to existing users and I think that should work for you to fix the mappings.

Details are here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/other_notes/

I made the first step work. Waiting for a while and then just continuing did the job.

However I am having trouble with the WordPress import/export function. When I am about to import at the live site it wants me to manually fit the users who wrote the posts with the ones on the site. When you import from one site to another I can see that this is needed, but in my case the users are a exact match, and we are talking about a couple of thousands users.. *Scratching the back of my head*

[steilenhang]

Well that almost worked! It imports for a while (no loop, all good), but then I get this error. I don’t know if that is a memory issue or what?

WordPress database error: [User ‘steilenhang’ has exceeded the ‘max_updates’ resource (current value: 36000)]

[Stephen Edgar]

I would look updating whatever it is holding you back from upgrading to WordPress 3.5.1 for the security fixes 3.4 & 3.5 have introduced at a bare minimum.

That said give it a try on a test site and if that works use the builtin WordPress Import/Export tool to export all the forums, topics & replies and then import them https://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#WordPress

[Stephen Edgar]

Have you looked in the WordPress Plugin Directory for something to do what you are after?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

bbPress uses WordPress to maintain/manage users and usernames etc so there might just be something that suits your needs. I am not sure if any would be compatible with the bbPress front end profile editor but it might be worth a shot. (eg https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/chevymanusa/edit/ )

[John James Jacoby]

For users that are experiencing 404 issues for non-admins, it’s likely another plugin that’s causing the problem. In some cases, it might actually be BuddyPress, as I found a bug and fixed it yesterday. 🙂

If you’re having these issues, share what plugins you have active, and let’s see if we can sniff out what’s going on together.

[logikgate]

I am having an issue with permalink duplication of topics. When one of my users creates a topic with the same name as a previous topic the backend correctly serializes the permalink (i.e. domain.com/forums/topics/math-4) but in the front end the link is always to domain.com/forums/topics/math and that link shows all of the topics that had the name math. Furthermore, if you actually go to domain.com/forums/topics/math-4 it comes up as a 404.

This would not be a problem except if the wordpress visual editor is used for replies the users cannot type anything unless they first click on the html editor tab.

Here is a link to the problem http://www.wolverinetutors.org/forums/forum/math-2/

You can see many topics that have the name “math help” these have the issue. I have disabled the visual editor in order to temporarily fix the problem.

I am using wordpress version 3.4.2 and bbpress version 2.2.4

[satochan]

WordPress Ver: 3.5.1
bbPress Ver: 2.2.4
———————-

I can add Forums and Topics in the frontend page but can’t add “Replies”…

To analyse this issue, I did the following things.
1. Deactivated plugins other than bbPress –> No change
2. Switch the theme to Twenty eleven –> No change
3. Change the web brouser from IE to Google chrome –> No change
4. downgraded WordPress ver. to 3.4.2 –> No change
5. downgraded bbPress ver. to 2.1.2 and 2.2.2 under WordPress Ver.3.4.2 –> No change
6. downgraded bbPress ver. to 2.1.2 and 2.2.2 under WordPress Ver.3.5.1 –> No change

Therefore I think the rootcause is in bbPress itself.

I really need the help from the people who know a lot on bbPress as soon as possible.

Hello, I am using lates bbpress 2.2.4 plugin with wordpress 3.5.1, php 5.4.3 & php 5.3.2.
This plugin is showing me many issues specially for user pages (profile, edit, etc.)
I am using twenty twelve theme, very little customized.

1) I wanted to set a different sidebar for bbpress forum pages than other wordpress pages, so I checked and found the default template used by bbpress is ‘page.php’. I copied it, renamed to ‘forum.php‘ and added a new dynamic sidebar and commented default sidebar. It worked fine and now I can set any widget to this sidebar. I have checked that either I place ‘forum.php’ or ‘forums.php’ both working fine similar. Not sure which one is more correct.

2) On the bbpress users pages the profile content and edit form is not displaying full in widht cutting as its width overridden by sidebar, breaking layout. The content area ‘primary’ div is given a width in theme and having ‘secondary’ as sidebar. All other contents properly adjusted on every bbpress pages, but only this bbpress user profile edit page have the issue. The form should also be adjusted within the content area. Ex. url: http://mysite.com/forums/users/testuser/edit

3) Now, suppose to fix the issue mentioned above in point 3), I want to remove sidebar from users pages and give the primary content area more full width, how I can do it? One way is to forcibly hide the sidebar with css and make primary content wider with !important. But I want a way to change user pages template. Is it possible to have different template for user pages than bbpress other pages? I found that users pages also generating using ‘page.php’, in my case ‘forum.php’ template now. I tried alot by copying and changing ‘page.php’ to ‘user.php’, ‘users.php’, etc. but its not working. Please let me know how can I set user pages to use a different template file and rest bb pages use my forum.php or forums.php whatever.

4) For any user when I click ‘topic started’ or ‘replies created’ link, both show counts properly but the table didn’t appear. I checked in firebug, it present there but hidden somehow. Same issue mentioned here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-topics-or-replies-posts-not-being-displayed/ , I tried with the same thing, but till now no proper solution there. Please let me know proper way to fix it.

5) If suppose I want to completely hide the user-profile links on all bbpress forum/topic authors, on all bb pages, I mean want to display only author gravatars and usernames but want no link on them, so other people cannot go to their profile pages, how can I do that? A little help given here http://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/show-the-author-but-hide-its-link, but its not working properly. But I think it can be done with right filters in the same way. Please let me know with sample code.

6) Used the official facebook plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook/ , and displayed the like button, like box for my facebook page using it in my site footer, header etc. But I found that on the user pages like edit profile, profile view etc. facebook widgets are completely disabled and not visible. On other bbpress forum pages they are displaying well. I checked with page source and found even facebook sdk is not embeded in page source. Their must be an conflict on bbpress user pages with facebook sdk which stopping it to be enqueued. This need to be checked and fixed.

These all issues mentioned here are serious issues with bbpress specially for user pages and must be solved and have proper solutions.
I dont expect from a single person to answer or fix all of above points, but hope different people will help me for different points (just mentioning points in their replies).

Further I expect from bbpress authors to work on these issues and release a fixed version. May be some of above points just because of lack some documentation, so they can mention some solution in its FAQ itself, so people having same problems can get help without searching or posting here in forum.

For people like me new to php this is how to make a plugin with John’s code :
paste this code in an editor and save the file as teenybb.php :
<?php

/*/
Plugin Name: Teenywithbb
Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/
Description: Enable Teeny Mce in bbpress
Version: 1.0.1
Author: John James Jacoby
Author URI: https://bbpress.org/
/*/
function foo( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'foo' );

copy this file in your plugin directory where you usually copy other plugins.
You can see the plugin named Teenywithbb in wordpress you juste have to active it.
and then you have tinyMCE Advdaced as editor in bbpress 2.2. 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

We would definitely make sure the bbPress tools would support maintaining ‘BuddyPress Group Relationships’ and #2089 might even end up defining which direction is taken.

It could also be done in bbPress as a ‘Moderation Tool’ to bulk move topics/replies that includes BuddyPress Groups support which is already planned for future bbPress Moderation Tools.

What version of WordPress are you using?

[Unsal Korkmaz]

FirmaSite Social

How to download:

http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/firmasite

Theme Features:

• Its GPL and free 
• Based on Twitter Bootstrap  and all WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress files using only bootstrap css. That means you can use custom bootstrap styles and all of your site will use same theme style. There is already 13 custom bootstrap theme is included in theme from Bootswatch. In future, i will explain how you can add custom bootstrap styles
• Using Bootstrap Responsive so all your site will be mobile ready. BuddyPress and bbPRess too!
• Using Theme Customization API for theme options. It means you can see changes on live edit and you can easily extend options with wordpress functions directly. A video on action: http://youtu.be/F95TngS9er8  (Its a bit old version of theme but a good example for main theme options)
• Google Fonts! lots of! You can choose google fonts from theme options ( watch example video from above)
• 4 different layout:

1. Content – Sidebar
2. Sidebar – Content
3. Only Content (Long)
4. Only Content (Short)

• Unique 2 feature: ShowCase and PromotionBar. ShowCase letting you show your special post in home page header like: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/examples/carousel.html and PromotionBar is letting you promote your posts in content header, footer or sidebar. You just marking your posts from your post panel. Both feature is using Bootstrap’s carousel component so there is no extra  javascript. An example post panel screenshot:
  
• You can upload logo,disable comments, activate facebook comments, activate sharing buttons (facebook,twitter and google+1), upload custom background and option to remove responsive for fixed width if you want.
• Supporting Post Formats! Formats have special template parts with get_template_part  and video,audio formats calling necessary js that need to play video or audios. System supporting oEmbed links too.
• Ready for translation. Theme’s default language is English and Turkish translation is included. ( You can send me your translations if you have). You can use Codestyling Localization for translating theme.
• I will add lots of filter and action (already have lots of) so you can use it as starter theme for your projects. I will explain how you can keep your customization while keeping theme up-to-date.

Themes are in review for publishing on WordPress.Org Theme  Directory but in meantime, you can download and try it from links above. Please share your opinions on theme in this topic.

Hi,

I’ve just installed bbPress on WordPress, but the weird thing is that I don’t even see the Forums tab, which should allow me to create forums. Tried to find what it could be already, but unfortunately without any luck.

Could someone help out?

Thanks in advance.

[shayatik]

Wordpress 3.5.1, bbpress 2.2.4 – What’s the best and simple way to add like / share / tweet buttons for each and every topic (not including replies).

I’ve installed every possible plugin for WordPress, which adds buttons on posts / pages, but doesn’t work with topics.

I’m using this theme: http://themeid.com/responsive-theme/

Thanks.

[aetios]

Ok nevermind, when I activated pretty permalink everything works perfectly. Sorry to bother you !

[aetios]

Hi ! I have the last BBPress integrated witth wordpress 3.5

The forum works fine but when I submit a post (not a new topic) it redirect me to the topic but it adds in the adress bar “%2F”, so that gives me a 404 error. The post is submitted but this is annoying.

Here’s what the links is after I click submit :

http://openmindfestival.ponnuki.net/?forum=marche-aux-puces%2F#post-1343

And it should be

http://openmindfestival.ponnuki.net/?forum=marche-aux-puces#post-1343

I haven’t touch anything in the permalink, I tried to reset them. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin. I’ve deleted all forum and start a new one. Nothing seems to fix the problem. I’ve tried to look online, but nobody seems to have an answer.

Any idea what can cause that ?

Thank you very much.

Here’s the link to the website :

Hello All,
I am looking for a way to disable users from changing their names from within the bbpress interface (/profile/edit/group/1/). This is located on the page where they choose a forum signature. I do not mind if they have a forum signature. However, I would like to prevent them form changing their name.

The site is currently running wordpress 3.5.1, buddy press 2.2.3 and is on a local test machine.

I did some searching on google and the on this site and was unable to find an answer to this question. If I missed it please let me know and my apologies in advance if this in the wrong area.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Regards,
Chevman

Thank you, Stephen Edgar. Okay I tried to install bbPress 2.2.4 plugin on my wordpress 3.5.1 and i get the 3bars: forums, topics and replies. Okay, but my theme iBlogPro Forum needs deep integration and I don’t know how to make it and where to put my iBlogPro Forum theme folder.

[Stephen Edgar]

I would try contact someone from the http://wp-persian.com/ project or posting on the forums http://forum.wp-persian.com/, you can also try the plugin author directly https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-jalali

You say “Capabilities are saved in the database, per user, per site”. That is clearly NOT the (normal) case. The wp_usermeta table wp_2_capabilities row stores ROLES, not capabilities. Those roles appear to index into the wp_2_options tble row wp_2_user_roles row which contains a list of capabilities.

I have no idea what “Dynamic” roles are nor why bbpress contains a vast amount of capability fidling code, including no less than three files called capability.php. If someone could explain it in terms of actual table rows and colums that might help.

I want a simple setup where Authors can access Private forums but only in the site which they are an Author. The simple coupled set up that JJJ says is too simplistic. But now it cannot be done at all?

By default private sites are hidden to users. There is a weird “Auto Role” option that can adds bbp_participant to all users. But that means that users get access to all forums on all sites. Is that the “Dynamic role” feature?

So turn that off. Try to add bbp_participant role explicitly using action ‘add_user_to_blog’
$user->add_role(“bbp_participant”);
However, that failed to add the user. WordPress really only supports one role per user, certainly set_role() only accepts a single role and purges any others. So I think something is resetting it.

Then I try simply
get_role( ‘author’ )->add_cap( ‘read_private_topics’ ); // for bbpress.
That successfully updates the database (wp_2_user_roles), but has no effect on bbpress. I suspect because one of the capability.php files in bbpress has
case bbp_get_spectator_role() … ‘read_hidden_forums’ => false,
rather than just leaving it out. So capabilities do not merge properly between roles.

I am new to WordPress/bbPress, and having spent many hours in this mess am getting very frustrated. How hard can it be? Users/Roles/Capabilities.
