Here’s a quick thing you could try. Might work, might not.

In the wp-admin sidebar, go to Settings->Permalnks. Try messing around with the different permalinks options, see if that does anything. I would recommend the Post Name option. In my site, I have this set as a custom option:

/%category%/%postname%

Maybe the update to 3.5 messed with the permalinks option.

EDIT: I guess I skipped over the first post that says permalinks are fine, but it’s worth a try for anyone else having this problem.

Actually, I can confirm that NONE of my users (except me, as admin) can access the forums. All get the page not found error.

Hello Again,

I am still waiting for a response. There is a problem in Translation file.

For example, here is a permalink for a string “Edit Forum”:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/ar/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=19786&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=2008090

The string is translated but for some reason at my forums string it still appears in English.

I also want to mention that some of the strings displayed properly at my forums with it’s translation, but some strings still appear in English.

Currently I am using WP 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3

Hope now you have time to check the problem. I do not know if I’m doing something wrong but six weeks ago, the translation worked fine with no problems.

Thanks

Some of my users have the same issue. The moment they login on the wordpress site, the forum becomes inaccessible. The get a page not found error.

Once they log out, it works again. This is a cross-browser issue.

Okay something really strange is happening, I think it’s something to do with the GET method. When I enter the customer ID into the field and hit Submit, my URL blows up! For some reason it’s displaying my connection information for the WordPress db (obviously a big problem). And it keeps growing every time I submit. Not sure if it’s because I’m on a xampp server. Looks something like this


http://localhost/~homeFolder/Website/forum/?cid=555112&log=myusername&pwd=THEPASSWORD&user-cookie=1&redirect_to=http%3B%2C%Mlocalhost%2F~homeFolder%Website%2F&_wpnonce=a7841878&_wp_http_referer=%2F~homeFolder%Website%2Fforum%2F

I never had an issue with updating wordpress to 3.5 or updating bbPress so I would guess that it might be a plugin conflict, but I am not sure.

Have you tested deactivating certain plugins?

[Cristescu Bogdan]

Hi there!

I hove that someone will help me with this problem. I get an error on topics pages:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in /home/jorjette/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/replies/template-tags.php on line 181

On the bbpress file, the section look like this:

function bbp_replies() {
// Put into variable to check against next
$have_posts = bbpress()->reply_query->have_posts();
// Reset the post data when finished
if ( empty( $have_posts ) )
wp_reset_postdata();
return $have_posts;
}

Well the line 181 is :

$have_posts = bbpress()->reply_query->have_posts();

But I think the problem is how the function call the wp function wp_reset_postdata();.

What can I do to change or resolve the issue? Can be a bug in BBpress plugin? This problem appears when I update to WordPress 3.5

Hi All
bbpress –> 2.2.3
wordpress –> 3.5
theme –> various
link to test site http://johnjack.co.uk/?forum=new-forum

I am finding that my forums are displaying in a post template, how do I change this to display using a page template instead?

Please help!!

[DearWendy]

I use bbpress plugins for the forums on my website, http://www.DearWendy.com. Since Monday morning when I updated to WordPress 3.5 and bbPress 2.2.3, my forums are not working properly. When logged in as an admin, they work fine for me, but anyone else who tried to post a message gets a 404 error. I’m pretty ignorant about these issues and have not been able to figure out hot to troubleshoot. Is there anyone who can help me?! Please??

[evomedia]

Hi i just insalled bbpress to test it but i cant figure out whats wrong i just get a blank page

This is what ive dona so far: I installed the plugin–> created a forum–> created a page which i named forum–> entered the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]–> When i go to the front i see the page click it and up comes the forum i created when i then click the forum and i get the blank page…–> in the adressfield it says http://www.kanin.se/forums/forum/theforumicreated and the page i blank.

I have the latest wordpress and bbpress

feeling stupid for not seeing the possibly easy solution.

I have searched this forum and the webb even watched a 30 min video on the setup of bbpress didnt get any smarter.

Thanks for your help!

[EJMorges]

I have Light Box Plus installed. I’m not a developer, I haven’t tried to implement anything like that on my own. You make it sound easy but for someone like me I’m sure that it’s not. 😀

[Lynq]

You can remove this inside your template.

Do all users see this, or is it just your admin account that can see it? Just wondering as the wordpress edit page is to edit the description of the forum, not replies or topics from users.

[JuaninLAdP]

Forgot to put in the details: I’m running WordPress 3.4 and bbpress 2.2.3

@rsanchez1 Thanks a lot. Your post made me even more confused at first because i’m new to WordPress and PHP but after reading it a couple of more times and actually implementing what you said it made sense and i managed to get it to work.

I used this code (please look at it and let me know if there are any errors):

————————————————————-

function remove_bbpress_forum_freshness_date( $anchor, $forum_id) {

$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id( $forum_id );
$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_active_id( $forum_id );

if ( empty( $active_id ) ) {
$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_id( $forum_id );
}
if ( empty( $active_id ) ) {
$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );
}

if (bbp_is_topic( $active_id ) ) {
$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_permalink( $forum_id );
} elseif ( bbp_is_reply( $active_id ) ) {
$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_url( $forum_id );
}

return "View Post";

}

add_filter('bbp_get_forum_freshness_link', 'remove_bbpress_forum_freshness_date', 10, 2);


——————————————————–

function remove_bbpress_topic_freshness_date( $anchor, $topic_id) {

$link_url = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_url( $topic_id );

$time_since = bbp_get_topic_last_active_time( $topic_id );
if ( empty( $time_since ) ) {
return 'No Replies';
} else {
return "View Post";
}

}

add_filter('bbp_get_topic_freshness_link', 'remove_bbpress_topic_freshness_date', 10, 2);

———————————————————-

I have one more question. I gave this more thought and i think it would be better if i replace “View Post” with the post’s title on the forums page(not topics).

To do this is have to change the first function above.

Any ideas how should i change the code to return the post’s title instead of View Post?

Thank you for your help. It’s very much appreciated.

[Lynq]

This also works, you can specify a post parent if you use this.

Or the WP_Query reference is here, which could help: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

Good luck!

[Jared Atchison]

Unfortunately, not currently. That would be something that would need to done on a WordPress core level. I’m not aware of that being an issue they are going to address soon, but maybe I just haven’t seen it in WP trac.

[Dougal Campbell]

I had an old stand-alone version of bbPress running at one time. I’d like to bring it back up, and obviously upgrade to the newest version. I do not want to have forum users added as users in my main blog. Is my only option to install a second copy of WordPress to power bbPress?

 

[0kee]

Hi, since updating everything is working fine except the reply box for the forum isn’t re-sizing. I think it’s the wp-bbp_reply_content-editor-container. Sorry, new to this.
I’m using wordpress 3.5 and bbpress 2.2.3 with the standard bbPress (twenty ten) theme. Anybody any ideas?

Sorry but I am completly lost with all it’s said.

My question is: Is there any way to add new roles in bbpress?

I want some of my users to be identified by their knowledge so the mebers know who is responding and the accuracy of the info provided (ie. Mentor, Advisor, …).

From the first message in this post

bbPress comes with filters to allow you to modify the roles, and it’s still possible to add or subtract specific forum capabilities to a user if you needed to, and without all the fuss and danger of bbPress interfering with existing user roles and capabilities.

I understand it is possible to add new roles but can not find how to do it!

I am using BBpress 2.2.2 and WordPress 3.4.2

Thanks!!

[Destillator]

Ok, some more information: I’ve updated WP and BBpress. Reverting BBpress back to version 2.1.2 brings back the forums but removes the BBpress custom post types in the admin-menu.

Removing the folder “bbp-theme-compat” from version 2.1.2 results in the same view as that of 2.2.3: the page shows but without the forum.

The template used is a child-template of Twenty-Ten, so there’s nothing too exotic about that. Any suggestions? I’ve found https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-0-theme-compatibility/ but the described folder-structure is not present in BBpress version 2.2.3.

[Destillator]

Same here, nothing shows after an update to WP 3.5

[Anonymous User]

Hi John,

in my situation is the correct version not the problem.
The original forum is on version 1.1 since months. And updated to 1.2 yesterday.
It’s an old forum (since 2002) – migrated to bbPress 0.9 and then 1.0 -> 1.1.
Since May 2011 the forum was deactivated – after some problems with an user. 🙁

Hmmm… I think the problem may lie in the fact that the forum has a lot of anonymous posters. In 0.9 there was an plugin for anonymous posters with meta data. But in version >0.9 these posts were all anonoymous posts without an user.

I’ll test the convertion on a blank installation of WordPress 3.5 today (without any other plugins). And the i’ll report again.

By the way. JJJ – carry on with your great work on bbPress. 🙂

[EJMorges]

Hi,
I would like to add a lightbox feature to the bbPress message board. Is there a pluggin that works with the current version 2.2.3.  or is there a way that I can make the lightbox pluggin that I have for WordPress work within bbPress somehow?

GDtools is a great pluggin that has a built in lightbox feature but it ads the images separate from the actual post and this isn’t the best technique for creating articles within bbPress.

Thanks,

EJ
