Unfortunately, Akisment on BBPress is a BIG failure. Yes it captures spam but very limited. I have been struggling from this issue as I have to manually delete the clean the stuff. I am now migrating away from bbpress to some paid solution, if you’re thinking of some serious forum solution, i am afraid bbpress is a bad choice, even though its wordpress’s own child.

Hi,

I’m using: WordPress 3.4.2, bbPress 2.1.2 and bbPress Topics for Posts 1.4

A new article is automatically published in the forum. I’ve been trying now to get the number of replies in the post instead of the comments count.

Are there any workarounds to get these numbers?

Thanks.

Hello everybody!

I have a bbPress 0.9.0.7 forum running that works great. http://elanillounico.com/v5/foro
It has it’s users linked to my WordPress 3.4.2. http://elanillounico.com/

I wanted to migrate the bbPress to bbPress 2.1.2 (actual version) but I guess I am doing something wrong.
The new url for the forum is: http://elanillounico.com/forums

WHAT I AM DOING…

First of all I’m installing bbPress 2.1.2 plugin and I activate it in my WordPress.

Second I go to Tools – Forums – Import Forums, I select the bbPress1, I insert the db options and select all the options that suit my server so it doesn’t overload.

I start the process and I wait until it finishes saying “No tags to convert” and then… I am getting this error 🙁

WordPress database error: [Table 'my_database_forum.bb_term_relationships' doesn't exist]
SELECT convert(term_relationships.object_id USING "utf8") AS object_id,convert(term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id USING "utf8") AS term_taxonomy_id,convert(terms.name USING "utf8") AS name FROM bb_term_relationships AS term_relationships INNER JOIN bb_term_taxonomy AS term_taxonomy USING (term_taxonomy_id) INNER JOIN bb_terms AS terms USING (term_id) LIMIT 0, 1000

Apart from this, the installation does not go right. When I go to my forums, the forums themselves are all right. But the topics are all mixted up. It looks like if the answers to the original topics are now topics as well, so I have the forums with all of the messages as if they were topics, they are not linked as if they were lost the id that linked them.

Any idea of what this means and why this happened??

Question I have: Do I have to upgrade first to version bbPress 1.1 before I upgrade to bbPress 2.1.2?

Thank you very much! 🙂

You mean WP Post comments integrated with bbPress forums? I hope that’s not a deal breaker because as far as I know, either someone has still to create a plugin that can do that and release it OR you have to code it OR you have to hire a developer to make the plugin for you.

re #1 – bbPress is responsive but needs some more tweaking https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933

re #2 – like the left or right column at http://testbp.org/discussion/

re #3 – hmm, haven’t seen a plugin like that, but it could be done

re #4 – Nothing is perfect in this world. bbPress works all right out of the box. So unless you have a private community, then just like many forum scripts out there, you’d need some anti-spam plugins or better yet, an active community which tags spams so admin/keymaster or moderators can delete such posts and/or members

re #5 – yes, easy to use

[pxforti]

Awesome. Thanks for posting that. Worked for me.

[oatzeal]

Hi there – and sorry upfront for yet another question with regards to bbPress-Themes…

• I have been doing thorough research in the forums, no answers for me…
• Versions: WordPress running 3.4.2, bbPress is 2.1.2

My situation_

I have setup bbPress to work with my custom theme (OptimizePress) and embedded the [bbp-forum-index]-shortcode into a single page (“forum”). Here I could obviously pick a site-template and therefore the forum is nicely embedded into my site-layout.

Since I cannot continue using shortcodes & (slug-)pages for dynamically generated topics, I went ahead and followed the customization instructions. I can ensure that the right (template-)files are called upon (inside my /theme-directory) because I played around with content-single-forum.php f.ex. and also checked for the correct CSS-reference.

I also followed the instructions concerning the functions.php (in /theme):

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );
remove_action( 'bbp_enqueue_scripts', 'bbp_theme_compat_enqueue_css' );

Now I need to wrap the forum-specific template-files with the page-template used by my custom theme. I already tried integrating the bbPress-code into the exisiting page-template with no positive result (no server-response or strange loop-behaviour).

Either I went down the right road but am weak in skill at modifying PHP-Code or there is a far easier approach I haven’t seen/figured out yet (which again doesn’t compliment me on my skill-level…).

Anyways, maybe someone can help me out / hint me into the right direction.

Thanks so much in advance,
Regards

Henning

WordPress 3.4.2 / bbPress 2.1.2 / site: bit.ly/OVo94w

Have never used bbPress before so bear with me.

The main problem is all non-admin/author/etc users (including public) cannot see any of the posts (confirmed with a test account as both a basic and paid user). Anybody that’s not a user essentially can see the posts though. Can provide screenshots or test logins if needed.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, after a WordPress update, a cropped version of the main logo for the site started showing up on the forum index after ‘Forums by’.

There also seems to be an issue with public visibility of all the forums on the index (have checked permissions/etc). They all show up to a logged in user but only 2 of them show up for a non-registered/public user and bots indexing the site.

Have tried a number of things so far that i have found in other topics here: Disabling Akismet (and a number of other plugins to see if there are any conflicts), Deactivating and Reactivating bbPress, deleting and re-creating the forums, and more.

At this point I am a little lost, and not sure how to fix these and really would like to avoiding having to completely re-install bbPress/Wordpress.

Thanks for your help in advance.

All sounds pretty weird, and nothing bbPress would have caused directly; it doesn’t touch media at all.

[echoman]

Nevermind i had conflicting pages that i had to delete. Although that was weird seeing my media on my site.

I’ve googled and browsed through the forums and finally decided just to ask the experts: Is bbPress right for me?

I’m running a WordPress site and want to start a forum. Simplicity and clean design are important to me. I dislike most of the forum offerings because it seems like you are looking at a database more than a conversation, if you know what I mean.

Here are a few things I’m looking for:

1) Works great on iOS devices.
2) Clean, non-category-oriented design. (e.g. maybe looks like Vanilla?).
3) Has a plug-in that not only shows the title of the recent post but shows a bit of the text. Again, a focus on the conversation, not the database.
4) Not buggy, not a spam magnet.
5) Easy to use for non-techie readers.

For some reason #3 seem to be a difficult hurdle for most forums. Instead they like to show the category, the post title, the author, the time–everything but teasing the reader with what is actually being said!

I did see a bbPress demo somewhere–here, I thought but I can’t find it now–that had a nice-looking theme. It was called (O)x or something like that. The “Theme” section seems to be down these past few days, maybe it was there.

Is there a way to use the bbPress forum list (parents & children) in a widget? Basically I need to create a WordPress Custom Menu with the list, but I have way too many forums to list them all out. Did I just miss something?

NOTE: I know about the bbPress Forum List widget. I need that list but for use in another widget.

Thanks!

[echoman]

Now i have an even worse problem all my media pics etc are showing on that page!!

[waynewundr]

Hi all,

Just wondering about the pro’s and con’s of using this type of site. I’m new to any sorts of forums so please be patient.

Thanks

[echoman]

Now i get a a blank page with no forum but on the backend everything is fine. Last time this happened i had a page not found then received an update. I’m just about to release one of my sites but i can’t do it if i have no forum. What do i do? 🙁

[John James Jacoby]

You’ll want to use WordPress’s actions to manipulate the output of the form. There are also actions on the submission side you can hook into to verify the form data.

[John James Jacoby]

Sounds like you’re running out of memory, or some plugin conflict. bbPress is also only really intended to work with current WordPress versions; once you start mixing and matching versions, you’re on your own to troubleshoot.

[bryanforst]

I have set the forum to “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies”

However when a guest attempts to post they get the “Are you sure you wanted to do that?” nonce error.

We are using 2.1.2 bbpress and 3.4.1 WordPress

[tulisan]

I’m planning to integrate BBPress to my WordPress site and I was informed that it already allows single login integration.

Does it also allow single registration? I mean, when a user registers on my WP site, does he automatically have access to bbpress? How about when a user registers on the bbpress forum, does that user get a WP user account as well?

If not, is there already a way to do this and can someone point me to the right resource?

Thanks!

I am trying to integrate my WordPress template with Buddypress (with integrated bbPress 2.1).

I was wondering if it was possible to make a popular forum entry (ex: most clicked on, most replied to, etc) into a post automatically so it would show on my main page.

Thank you!

Hello,
in my test website I use WordPress 3.4.1, bbPress 2.1.2, permalink set to /%postname%/ and a handful of plugins which I have deactivated to avoid conflicts.
Basically when I try to submit a topic or a reply from the frontend, as a subscriber, I get the ‘white page’. The topic/reply is created, as admin I can edit it from the backend, but it doesn’t have the permalink and the edit permalink button. Also, the topic/reply is counted but it is shown in the corresponding frontend lists (obviously clicking on it gives a 404-page not found) only if I’m NOT logged in as admin.
If I write a topic/reply from the frontend while logged in as admin, I don’t get the white screen but still the topic/reply is created whithout permalink.
If I add as admin a topic/reply from the backend then the permalink is created and everything works. Also the topics/replies added from the backend are the only topics/replies that are shown in the frontend list while logged in as admin.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards

[Gaston]

Hi Lynq
Yes we have a link on our website that takes the user to our forum installed at
http://www.s4ndb0x.com/forums/forum/b3tz-issues/

that link includes parameters to send a userid, password, email, first and last name. If the user is in the wordpress DB then we log them in. (if not we register them using insert_new_user) this all works and the user shows up as being logged in, they can reply to the current topic if they wish

The problem is that when they click on another topic bbpress does not see them as logged in any longer.

thanks
bryan
